A part of me is happy that anything new from Tool is arriving. A much larger part of me is dissapointed that Tool is joining the ranks of that dreaded game. Well okay the game is fun but imagine if people actually played a REAL guitar instead of guitar hero...Oh well

these will be the three most boring songs to play on guitar hero

there will be a huge host of FALSE TOOL FANS now

Ugh... sadly.
I wish they would've picked something from Aenima.

Now a wave of prepubescent kids will become Tool's "best fans", just watch. xD

And they should have at least put some better songs up for playing...

Better songs? Parabola IS the best! And Schism and Vicarious are pretty damn good.

Really, as GHWT has drums, these songs are for the drummer more then the guitarists...

Parabola is the best? noooope. Lateralus is better on the CD, as well as a few Aenima songs.

Yes, I agree that the songs are great, and the songs are more drummer oriented, but I also agree with gasmask that at least a song from Aenima would have been great.

"if people actually played a REAL guitar instead of guitar hero...Oh well"
Yea....because no one does both...yea that couldn't happen.

wah wah sellouts wah wah.

If this were for Rock Band I would be really excited, oh well.

definitely just lost some respect for tool

Why do you lose respect for them? Because they joined up with a hugely popular video game, causing them to put out crap from now on? Get a life people.

Technically, they've been doing that for the last ten years anyway.. A Perfect Circle > Tool

Guitar Hero World Tour looks better than Rock Band 2 in literally every way/shape/form. Or...you can tell me how it isn't?
"maybe like 5% of people at most who play the game play guitar as well."
Yes, but it's also been reported at the number of kids both listening and playing rock and classic rock music has increased dramatically through both album and instrument sales...Guitar Center has reported. So I think that is a great thing.

Harmonix are way better at making the "tabs" or whatever you want to call them for the songs. GHWT is rock band with more additions so the gameplay might not even be better. And if you think the custom song thing will be up to any good, you are an idiot.

I dont really have anything against these games but when you made it through dragonforce getting 95% on expert. it might just be a good time to do other things.

"And if you think the custom song thing will be up to any good, you are an idiot."
That's just ignorant. Have you even read anything about it? It uses protools and the functions are practically endless. The fact that you can download other people's creations is groundbreaking for the genre because you know there will be people out there creating awesome songs. Sure it will be 1 out of every 1,000...but it will be easy to hear about which ones are awesome.
If you ask me, to dismiss something you clearly know nothing about is far more idiotic.
As far as the note charts are concerned, harmonix dumbs down practically every chart for the guitar parts...so no I don't think they are better. Why do they make the expert difficulty so damn easy and dumbed down...why are full barre chords 2 damn notes??? it's expert...why dumb it down harmonix?!

Maynard James Keenan wrote a few words for all the 'fans' crying sellout a few years ago...

"Well now I've got some
Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger
You should know that
I'm the man,

And if I'm the man,

Then you're the man, and
He's the man as well so you can
Point that fuckin' finger up your ass.

All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb fuck.
I sold out long before you ever even heard my name.

I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip shit,
And then you bought one."

haha, hi five for failing.

the hooker with a penis lyrics rule, specially with this news


you cant really say theyre selling out. its not like they signed a contract to make records under guitar hero peoples control

I love when people say bands have sold out for being in Guitar hero. If tool has now sold out so has....(some of these bands have...but not because of guitar hero)
Jimi Hendrix

All That Remains

Yep...they were all in guitar hero so they must be sell outs...right? Some people are so stupid it's scary.This Message Edited On 09.05.08

I think the guy who quoted Hooker With a Penis prolly sums up the whole sellout thing best, and just how much Tool cares if you buy into that. It's a video game...and even if a bunch of new fans follow them, isn't that a good thing? People seem to like to claim bands as their own. Regardless if a bunch of "little kids" think their Tool's biggest fans, actual fans know this is far from the truth, right? That should be enough

shouldnt you want bands you like to be successful and have a large fanbase? why the fuck is it alright for you to be selfish and claim the band as yours or other people as false fans but its not alright for them to make a little money or expand their fanbase?

self-centered twats

oh and btw it is possible for 14 year old kids to be fans of a band.

just in case you all forgot that fanhood isnt granted when you are 18

the ones that claim bands as their own ARE the little kids...when will those pointing "sell-out" understand that?
One could easily argue that tool sold out when they signed a major record deal, long before any of us probably even heard of them...so get over yourselves.

if i ever purchase these songs i'll only play bass

"One could easily argue that tool sold out when they signed a major record deal, long before any of us probably even heard of them...so get over yourselves."
uh, tool says this themselves.

This Tool thread hasn't hit the maximum limit on the pretentiousness apparatus, we must discuss the meaning behind Maynard's deep lyrics and Carey's drum arrangement!

Good. Maybe my brother will stop playing dragonforce for Tool. Just maybe.

Hence the easy argument.

Guitar Hero®

Parabola is an amazing song...The other two are really good as well

i hate guitar hero. should've made it for rock band where the drumming interface is legit. they're gonna be the guitar hero hype of the century.

I know the functons of the custom song thingy and it is ridiculous. when you start making songs in guitar hero then there are no more excuses, PICK UP A REAL INSTRUMENT.

AP you are the ignorant one, looks like they forcefed you lines straight out of their pressconference at E3.

o noes 13 year olds getting into tool
who cares

Look at it this way:

Now more 13-year-olds will be getting into good music instead of crap like the Jonas Brothers and whatnot.

eh, tool's kinda mainstream to begin with
but still, this is an all-time low for them
goddammit, there's already enough dragonforce fans* at my school, I don't need there to be suddenly a huge mass of tool "fans".
*and by fan, i mean the only dragonforce song they can name is Through the Fire and Flames.

"PICK UP A REAL INSTRUMENT.
AP you are the ignorant one"
I, and many of my friends that play guitar hero, have been playing a real guitar for years. So tell me...what about the functions of the "thingy" are "ridiculous"? You think being able to put real notes with any effect you want into the game is ridiculous? I think if I write a song on my guitar it's pretty damn cool that I could create it in the game for other people to play...actually, I think it's pretty damn revolutionary.
And I love how you were talking about Harmonix being better, implying that it's okay to play Rock Band, but the moment someone wants to get creative and put their own songs in the game you write "PICK UP A REAL INSTRUMENT"...haha what awful logic you have. It's clear that GH World Tour will destroy Rock Band 2 in sales just like Guitar hero 3 outsold Rock Band 3:1. You will not win this debate as you clearly don't know nearly as much about these games as you think you do. But hey, keep it up and tell me what's so ridiculous about Guitar hero using protools so that people can put their own music in the game. do tell how that is "ridiculous".
Oh and in your next reply....less ignorance plz.

At least I'll be able to play a tool song. OGT!

I won't be playing these songs.

why are you on an internet forum
why don't you all just meet up at one place, and argue about random crap in person

derekchewie11, you are awesome. Totally made my day because it made people shut up.

I think this is a joke..

why thank you

I understand your point, and if its true that GH inspires more ppl to pick up an instrument than im all for it. Its just that personally I would rather play a game that involves something you can't do in real life. Or at least legally That's why I don't play games like Madden either.
