10.06.17 | its pretty fucking pathetic if you stop listening to a band solely because of its fanbase
spoiler alert: every band has a shitty fan base so you should just stop listening to anything |
LethalPaintball
10.06.17 | but yeah agree latetalus is overrated |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.06.17 | I respect that you like Meshuggah more than a Tool album. Meshuggah all the way, baby.
And while I agree with mostly everything you said to at least some degree, Tool is still in my top 5. As douchey as they are and as irritable as the fanbase is, I still fucking love the music. |

10.06.17 | Also Lateralus is one of my favorite albums of all time - that's one of the few albums that everyone freaks out over that I think is justified. |
Thalassic
10.06.17 | Hot take: the "annoying Tool fanboy" thing is an imaginary narrative. I've never come across one of them in my life - when you don't go looking for them, they're easy to ignore. |
DinosaurJones
10.06.17 | I've honestly come across more annoying Tool anti-fans than fanboys.
It doesn't come up much though, because I'm fairly ambivalent towards Tool (decent stuff though) |

I honestly see way more rabid Tool haters (whose borderline furious comments often make me think that Maynard raped their mom with a bottle of his homegrown wine) than I see hardcore Tool fans |
ashcrash9
10.06.17 | It's pretty silly to suggest the rabid Tool fans Rodrigo's describing here don't exist; look at literally any comment section to a Tool video and they're bound to come up
but as other people itt have said, the anti-fans can be just as irritating, and at the end of the day "its pretty fucking pathetic if you stop listening to a band solely because of its fanbase" [3] |

TheSonomaDude
10.06.17 | Rodrigo I love you but good god...honestly Tool fanbase bashers are far more annoying than Tool or its fanbase.
@allergist yah i agree i've never met any asshole pretentious tool fans. most tool fans i know are just really stoned and/or super chill. like "whoa man, tool bro". my best friend lists tool as his favorite band and he's literally the nicest guy i've ever met. i feel like the internet just likes to pretend that tool fans are obnoxious because the music seems like it'd have an obnoxious fanbase.
like, the OP lists meshuggah as a better band but meshuggah literally has the worst fanbase of all time. |
Allergist
10.06.17 | Ooh, Meshuggah obsessed fanboys are the fucking worst. Basically everything rodrigo90 said about Too fans but even more extreme. |

Fight me, Allergist. I'm the only Meshuggah fanboy I know. |
TheSonomaDude
10.06.17 | i once told a meshuggah fanboy in hs that all meshuggah songs were in 4/4, and he called me a retard. so i put on "bleed" and literally counted 4/4 in front of him and he just stared at me with a blank look before telling me i "had no idea what i was doing" and said "go listened to disturbed", insisting the song was in like 23/16 but didn't count it because he clearly had no idea how to count time sigs. he purposely ignored me for the rest of the class period and never made eye contact with me for the rest of hs. |

DarkSideOfLucca
10.06.17 | @TheSonomaDude - aha that guy sounds like a tool, but there is a lot more going on with odd time signatures with the guitars. Also, they often play in different time signatures simultaneously - Haake also does different shit with the cymbols and that song is pretty fucking impossible to play on drums so yeah it's in 4/4 but like...it's not like they're a simple band when it comes to that shit. |
Egarran
10.06.17 | So happy im high rn |
WatchItExplode
10.06.17 | I for one appreciate you taking the time to clear this up. |
TheSonomaDude
10.06.17 | @darkside yeah no doubt meshuggah is pretty complex and i actually like them, but they're admittedly a pretty silly band that dont take themselves seriously. so it's annoying to come across fanboys who think they're music is godsent, especially fans who claim meshuggah have never written in 4/4 and all of their music is in, like, 14.3/16 or something.
all bands have annoying fans, infact, all fanboys of anything are usually pretty irritating tbh |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.06.17 | @TheSonomaDude- Yah I agree with that. I genuinely love everything that Death and Meshuggah have released so I have to hold back my fanboyism at times, but people who act snobby about their favorite anything as if it is objectively superior are always annoying as fuck. |
Spacesh1p
10.06.17 | Fuck yeah rodrigo |

10.06.17 | "clearly you didn't go to a liberal arts school"
Id argue that the annoying/toxic fan base that goes to a liberal art school is the fucking Beatles, not Tool.

10.06.17 | @Shaq - well, it was with a few different things. Some obvious classic rock bands, indie groups, and then you had your snobby Tool cunts. It was like going to a school of different sects of snobs. I actually enjoyed high school and post college more. |

Or some shit like that, I don't even know lol
But not all Tool fans are insane like that. A good portion are, but I don't see a reason to stop listening to them just because some of the fans take them way too seriously. |
