The Salival version of No Quarter is a studio recording, not live, but it is incredible and maybe my favorite cover of all time.

Donger, do you like A Perfect Circle?

Not as much as Tool.

This is the best thread that has or will ever be created on this board.

Donger a Tool fan? Crazy.

Greatest band of all time, and Danny Carey is the greatest drummer of all time.

Fear Inoculum is a ****ing masterpiece and their second best album, I don't care what anyone says.

Also, I know this is a Tool thread but since Dane brought up APC I'm bringing up Puscifer...grossly underrated and their new album Existential Reckoning is a hidden gem that hasn't got nearly the attention it deserves.

No wonder he ate a shotgun lunch, I would too if I was that stupid.

Why are people surprised that I'm a Tool fan? Hell, I was a skate punk in the mid 1980s...

LMAO

Merkin Vineyards is ok.

Why are you surprised that we're surprised?









:D

I saw a video the other night of 'drum critic reacts to danny carey pnuema'

first thing the dude says is something like 'this is a new band I have never heard'

WHAT THE ****IN **** ???? DRUM CRITIC HAS NEVER HEARD OF THE GREATEST DRUMMER IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC????

your ****in fired, dumb ass drum critic.

He's not the greatest drummer in the history of music. Tool fans are the worst.

Hey, I loved you in Star Trek IV!

Really subjective topic of course, and he's probably not, but he's in the conversation for sure.

This is a pretty stupid comment. While your overall thesis might be true, it has nothing to do with fans thinking DC is the best. Every fandom, not just music fandoms, think their guy is the best. Hardly uncommon. It’s no different than Metallica fans who think Lars is a decent drummer or RHCP fans who think that Flea is anything other than annoying. Most of it is self aware hyperbole, and that’s okay.

There really is no denying that DC is one of the best technical hard rock/metal drummers out there and unquestionably the godfather of incorporating complex polyrhythmic technique in popular hard rock/metal, but man that is a mouthful compared to just saying the best.

FTR, it’s the “you just don’t get it” crowd that makes Tool fans the worst.
