But man, I think they blow. I think they are one of the top 5 most overrated bands of all time. I think it's sad *******, pseudointellectual, production trick ridden garbage. Wow, a minor key.. profound. I think perfect circle's version of Imagine might just be the worst thing I've ever heard.
Does anyone else hate tool, or am I just a complete freak? I know those aren't nessisarily mutually exclusive, but still...
I hate tool.
P.S. Don't be stupid and Smite me for my opinion ... I Don't smite when you like TOOL

I personally don't mind what APC did with Imagine. I like bands that can take a song and completely change everything about it except the lyrics. Granted, I still prefer Lennon's... but oh well.
Normally, I wouldn't see Tool. I'm not a huge fan either. But since there's nothing else to see during their show I'm going to give them a chance. The worst that can happen is I get some good exercise walking to the main stage and then back to my tent.
I've tried Tool.......just don't "get it" I will probably catch the show from VIP resting up for late night. Karma for your courage whatstodaysdate. Remember ther is a fine line between courage and stupidity!!!! (kidding) ;D

Can't make this long because my keyboard is shot. Bad thread idea. I don't smite people for personal opinions on bands. Just don't turn it into a direct attack on someones personal taste in music. That said.
I believe the cover of imagine to be one of the lowest points in the history of music. Pure garbage. They took one of the most beautiful, inspirational pieces of music and turned it into some moping piece of garbage. I'll never forgive them for that.
.......I'm still looking forward to seeing Tool though.

Jeez, -62, is that all from this post? Those Tool fans sure are defensive.
Yeah, I got a bunch of songs to prepare for the show and I don't like any of them. I'll give em a chance live - if nothing else it sounds like it will be cool visually.

I think most of the smiting came from the earlier comments about Tool not belonging at Bonnaroo, and the cruel (but hilarious) joke he posted the other night about tool cancelling Roo. Take note, you are entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't entitle you to stir up a shitstorm and aggitate people just cause you don't like a band. Hell, I don't like WSP, but there's no need to antagonize WSP fans just because our tastes differ. Beauty of Bonnaroo is there is always something else to do, even during a headliner you can hit shakedown or the cinema tent or the brooers tent or something.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
i can read what i want when i want, thanks for the warning though.
with such a closed mind i don't understand why you're even going to something like bonnaroo. people that hate are freaks, to answer your question. people that hate usually don't understand. it's ok it's not for you
oh and btw perfect circle, A Perfect Circle is NOT Tool.. this shows me that you are talking directly out of your ass. -61 and no i'm not surprised.. i was smited for posting a Presidential directive giving Bush dictatorial powers.
mods should lock this.. if the guy hates the band good for him but no one else should have to read or see this. what good conversation could come of this? are you guys going to carry torches and pitchforks to slay the evil Tool and make them run for the hills? Ridiculous.

I'm willing to bet the majority of that negative karma came from his post yesterday about tool being canceled, and then going on to say how much they suck and that they don't fit bonnaroo and he's hoping we'll get a "good" headliner. which is pretty rude
i don't mind people not liking a band, hell there are even a small number of bands i don't much care for playing at roo, but i'm not gonna focus on it and make dickish posts about how much they suck. we all have different tastes, roo has plenty of flavors for all of us to enjoy, so i guess i just don't see the point of the rudeness
and i don't think he's trying to rile people up with this post, but he definitely was with this one...
and the apc stuff...their first record was great, second not so much, everything after that...garbage. just like 10,000days is the worst thing that tool has come out with...but they still put on a great performance!

You know, at first when I saw all the negative karma I felt bad and was gonna wait the hour needed to give you some. Luckily, the rest of the reliable inforoo crowd jumped in and informed everyone why you're so low. There is a huge difference between being opinionated and being close-minded. You are the latter, and for that I smite you.
Check that out, I don't even like Tool and I'm smiting you for this... Karma really does come back to get ya in the end, I guess.

Not exactly eloquently put. Kind of hypocritical as well. We all "hate" in some way, shape or form. It's a human emotion that none of us are void of. I believe ignorance is the word you were looking for. People who blindly hate without empathy are simply ignorant, like our buddy who started this thread.
It's like the concept of bringing peace via war. It doesn't happen. So what if this dude has an undying hatred towards Tool. Let him sit by his lonesome during the set while the rest of us have a blast.

if tool was a latengiht we could have avoided all of this. it just makes more sense to me. but ive learned my lesson about headliner bashing. but the police and tool certainly dosent seem like roo to me. i have almost no serious conflicts in this years schedule. there just isnt much left for the good ol jam fans. i am excited as hell for roo. mostly for sci and the people im going with. and of course meeting all you fine inforoosters. but lineup wise its a huge dissapointment for someone with my muical taste who is used to getting the goods from roo. i think alot of the hating is coming from overall disspointment in the lineup and not so much just disliking tool. tool is just the focus because i they seem so out of place to many in any time slot at roo let alone eating up a headline spot. but no moatter what the lineup is some people will be happy and some unhappy. unhappy people bitch and happy people hate to hear bitching about something that makes them happy. its just the way the world works.

right on strum.. there are a lot of bands i'm not sure i wouldn't like. but what good is having a limited palette?
i want anything that could possibly be pleasing to hit my ears and make my brain swoon. i know damn well i haven't heard every note that can make that happen so i wouldn't dare miss out on the chance to hear it.
i also like the word dickish, they should start teaching that dialect in public schools.

The tasty little thread below is why this guy has so much negative karma. It's amazing to me when people come on here, start crap like this with the other board members, and then wonder why they got smited. The karma is there for a reason. You act out, you get bad karma. It doesn't always work that way, what with the mad smiter running about, but in this situation it did. I didn't smite you because you don't like a band I like, I smited you because you're acting like an ignorant buzzkill (who can't spell). Maybe if you had started this thread in the first place, it wouldn't have happened. I know I wouldn't have even entered this thread. But instead you chose to sucker in everybody with this.........
THREAD: TOOL Cancelled Rest Of N.American Tour & Roo!!!!!!
Body: I would LOVE it though.... we would actually get a GOOD headliner!!! TOOL SUCKS
Later Post: TOOL does not fit the Bonnaroo spirit at all.... sorry if you like them... they don't belong at Bonnaroo!!
YOU don't fit the spirit of Bonnaroo.
And I like the rest of us wonder what A Perfect Circle has to do with Tool. Completely different bands, the only person they share is a singer. That song did suck, but guess what.....that ain't Tool.
Down with Whatstodaysdate! It's one thing to be opinionated, but another to be an ignorant fool (who can't spell, might I also add). May the Mods kick you off this board unless you shape up, learn to write properly, and gain some IQ points. TOOL SUCKS? YOU SUCK! And that's my opinion!
It amazes me that "roo-sters" go off on music that they don't understand and fans that they don't understand when we (a collective group of music lovers that do not listen to only what radio stations and RIAA spoon feed us) have been fighting for an open mind from the general population.
Call me a dreamer, hippie, unrealistic, whatever you please. I wish the population as a whole could put as much time and effort into making other people smile as they do into being angry and resentful. Your life is what you make of it. Live laugh and love and the rest will fall into place.
I'm not even going to show this thread enough respect to give it a decent reply.
All I'm going to say is:
GIVE THEM A CHANCE. They may not "belong" beside the same bands that are on every year, but jesus, how many times can Bonnaroo have Trey, Les, Widespread Panic, Dave, MMJ, former Dead members, whatever. Expand your horizons. And for God's sake, watch their show. There should be no reason that anyone at Bonnaroo should miss a performence like that. Even if you hate them, just give them a chance to make you like them. Bonnaroo is about freeing and expanding your mind, yes? Then why not expand the variety of artists playing? I dont just mean give Tool a chance, I mean give yourself a chance to expand your musical horizons? Because come on....if its possible to get enjoyment from a musical artist, then why not?
But man, I think they blow. I think they are one of the top 5 most overrated bands of all time. I think it's sad *******, pseudointellectual, production trick ridden garbage. Wow, a minor key.. profound. I think perfect circle's version of Imagine might just be the worst thing I've ever heard.

i'm not the biggest fan of tool either, but i'm going to still go and gove them the chance because that's what bonnaroo's all about. even if you think that their studio stuff sucks, they could still put on a great live show. unfortunantly you will never be able to find this out if you do not at least give them a chance. if you really end up having the worst time of your life, you could always go to the cinema tent and watch Borat, just don't complain because you believe that you are right

...I don't think I've ever seen a member on this board with a "Warning Level" before... much less one at 99%. Didn't even knew it existed. That must be what happens when your karma almost reaches triple digits below zero
