Yeah alright... please still do drums for me... :thumb:

[QUOTE]i just find it funny you play both sides of the fence..... habitually[/QUOTE] Yeah during an argument I tend to get more serious, but as for playing both sides at one time....i dont member ever doing that.

I stated my opinion with out saying (What your opinion sucks) I disagree with opinions, BUT, that is perfectly accepted. Challenging someones opinion causes boring arguments. Not agreeing with someones opinion basically ends any form of argument right there.

Just accept it, people: It's a fact that APC's music is inferior to Tool's!

you're reading into that too much



and why'd u get rid of ur supersized avatar?

[QUOTE=satchforever]Except, Maynard doesn't write any of the music for guitar, bass, or drums. Try to find a way to listen to some of their songs without the vocals in it. I'd hardly call it "farting into a mic." You could make a 10 minute song that is just you farting into a mic and that doesn't make you exceptional. What kind of argument is that? That has absolutely nothing to do with anything at all. The truth is, songwriting is more important than showing off. Adam has been playing guitar for probably 15 or 20 years. You know what, I'll bet he can shred real fast. Just because he doesn't on their cds, it doesn't mean that he can't. Adam, Justin, and Danny are the ones who lay down the structure of the song and it's only later on that Maynard adds his part to it. He is merely 1/4th of the band.[/QUOTE]

I'm just saying I'd think the music was incredibly boring without Maynard, i.e. if you made them an instrumental band. I hear the actual music and I don't FEEL anything (unlike Dream Theater, who I think create amazing music). However, with MJK's "one-fourth" added in, I feel that's the special touch that makes Tool the amazing band that it is. And I also think it's amazing the depth that he puts into his lyrics. I've read interpretations of Forty Six & Two that stretch on for PAGES, and it simply puts me in awe of his song-writing prowess.
So long story short: nowhere did I mean to imply that I don't like Tool (they're one of my 2 or 3 favorite bands) or that I don't really LIKE the music-writing (parts of Aenima make me want to jump up and beat the living crap out of **** [in a good way]), but it's the lyrics that attract me especially to them.

[QUOTE=repcak]sorry, i made this list really fast...[/QUOTE]


id reference my post again, but that would be a little redundant...


lets just not let that happen again ok :lol:


























Seriously though :angry:

[QUOTE]you're reading into that too much[/QUOTE] No ill give you an example

person1: Tool is a lot better than apc
Person2: What? whatever i saw APC live, you just dont listen to them as much

Start of boring argument

Person1: What? I have been listening to them since before you was born, i know they suck compared to tool
Person2: Blah blah blah more trash

SEE^^^^

Other forms of disagreeing that will not lead to boring arguments :)

person1: Tool is a lot better than apc
person 2: I still like APC better thank god we have opinions and not arguments lolrz
Person1: yeah its awsome refl

See^ the last one was easier and refrained from pointless arguments.

[QUOTE]and why'd u get rid of ur supersized avatar?[/QUOTE] They are overrated :)

and why i like APC?
they are making great music! thats it. fantastic progressive-rock! they create an atmosphere in their music as only a few bands can reach...
All over its softer than tool... and when i am relaxed and don't want to hear 'heavy' stuff, APC is just perfect for this mood.

Another thing is, that 13th steps once helped me through my depression: most say its the way out of drugs/addiction... but for me its the way out of a depression. (isn't it the same?!)

@Kage: i left you a message in FA-thread about nin... check it, if you haven't

[QUOTE=Darkness of Greed]What? Are you kidding? Tools music blows APCs away. I love APC, but they don't come close to Tool.[/QUOTE]

Way to get the point. "Accessibility" has nothing to do with quality. Plus, even if it were the case, you need to respect people's opinions more. The last time I said that Stinkfist was my favorite Tool song - you started talking about how much better the Grudge was. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, son.

[QUOTE=Dried Muffin Remnants]Way to get the point. "Accessibility" has nothing to do with quality. [/QUOTE]
i think is stupid arguing if APC or Tool has more 'quality'. They make music on such a high level/quality that stupid folk (as we are) .... well, äh.... i mean - they are making both music on such a high level that it doesn't matter if tool is super-high-level or fantastic-high-level.
they are both high-level. point

[QUOTE=repcak]Another thing is, that 13th steps...[/QUOTE]

Singular, not plural.

Not to be a di[SIZE=2]c[/SIZE]k, but it's good to know an album's proper title.

[QUOTE=Moses]APC is alright but Tool is just way more exceptional. APC just lacks the depth in my mind.[/QUOTE]Agreed.

You blew that way out of perportion. I simply asked why you liked that song so much (I wasn't attacking you, I even said that). Then you got all mad for little reason.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]Faith, after you've done done with that project, may I trouble you for some drum samples? All the FL ones suck, and I could do with a real sounding set to work with[/QUOTE]

Faith :(

Being confrontational on a [I]message board[/I] =/= anger. But I don't believe it's blowing anything out of "perportion" when I tell you it's stupid to criticize people's favorite songs/bands. That's basically what you've done. No offense taken, though.

But I didn't critcize you...

Forget it.

argh, I have a video interview with Maynard, and he does say that he contributes some guitar parts, but very rarely. You're right though. I shouldn't have said that he doesnt write any of the music for guitar.

[QUOTE]Faith[/QUOTE] Sure thing boss. Ill add some EQ on them and make them sound nice and tight.

Thank you :)

I hope you realize that this thread has gone nowhere with these silly little arguments.

I disagree. Wanna fight about it? :p

Hey, what do all of you think about Tool's side bands like Zaum, VOLTO! and Pygmy Love Circus? I've only heard one song from Zaum and a few from VOLTO!, but I found them to have nice grooves and was wondering what everyone else thought of them.

From what I heard from the emospace samplings...VOLTO! sounds pretty good.
