What every Tool fan boy will say. He's normally listened to dumb heavy metal and simple minded rock songs all his life and smoked pot. All of a sudden he discovered Tool and acts like he is smarter than everyone in the world. The reason the fans think they are smarter than everyone is because Tool uses so many intellectual theory and
philosophy influence lyrics and imagery in their songs that the
kids begin to think they're smarter than everyone because they think they understand something no
one else understands. All of a sudden these
kids feel superior to their peers who listen to simple minded rock and heavy metal. The reason this has happened because Tool's
music is accessible to the mainstream and at the same time tool uses less accessible and strange ideas hidden behind their lyrics. this means they can capture and attract dumb
people but hide stronger intellectual concept within their songs which are later discovered upon more careful analysis and research. the fanatic
kids who put stronger research into tool's songs normally become psuedo intellectual art snobs and hipsters. these
kids think tool is the greatest band on
earth because compared to what these
kids listened to all their life, eg dumb rocking power ballad and pop/rock bands, tool is superior in concept. tool is a great band, it's just their fans who become obnoxious with staunch conviction.
fan
boys will say "tool is the greatest band on earth" because their
music is catchy and easy to rock out to yet hold strange and interesting meaning behind them. most rock bands before tool were
nothing more than dumber party power ballad bands.
