Never could get into them. I kinda like a couple of their songs but like streaming them on Spotify was meh.
Going to listen to Lateralus (2001).
Also, Tool is one of my friend’s favorite bands. The one who won’t talk to me. It’s fucking weird because they have never listened to Tool in my presence and it just sort of came out of left field. I guess it makes sense considering how many of their songs are about heroin.
There was this one night too where we went to this birthday party and got high as balls and they started sewing a GG Alin patch onto their pants. I must have been having psychosis because why the fuck would they be into GG Alin.
A friend (and fellow guitar nerd) got me into them briefly in the 90s when Ænima had been out for a couple of years. He put on the beginning of "Eulogy" and told me to try to figure out the time signature. After that was over, he got this manic glint in his eye and skipped ahead to "Intermission" and "Jimmy." Decent album if "Rush, but actually Black Sabbath, and singing about butt stuff, hard drugs, and sinking LA into the Pacific" is up your alley.
