I know, I know....and Rabs posted a youtube analysis of it.   But it's bland to me.  Now I'm old I like some bland stuff but not that!

They played "Rosanna" to Cliff Richard and he loved it.   They played it to Rosanna Arquette (who it is about) and she hated it, said it sucked.

I don't mind some of their stuff,  tho, I've never bought an album/cd or concert ticket...  and--- come to think of it, I don't even have them on my spotify..  so there is that..

Ditto on Tool. I’d rather listen to Radiohead - who I do not like either. 

I've tried to like Tool cuz my son loves them,  I  even let him drag me to one of their concerts. 

Nope.......  not interested.

At least you tried haha! Like sgt said, Lateralus was his cutoff. I think I only liked undertow, but all the other albums - even earlier - I just didn’t get too inspired by them. The one song I liked that they did was called Prison Sex. I don’t get into the aforementioned activity though, nor have I been in prison haha!

Good song, but a lot of their songs aren’t in that groove like PS. 

Very strange video, interesting groove.

I saw the video's of Prison Sex and Sober and dug Tool. Went out and got Undertow. It's more raw then what comes after. Aenima had a bunch carnival sounds it, a guy reading a recipe in German. which sounds like a Third Reich speech and electrical crackles. Hooker With A P-enis was a cool song. Prison Sex from Undertow is not about two dudes in San Quentin getting to on in the shower, its about child sex abuse. It was though it was written from Keenan's perspective about his stepfather, but he said it about about abuse and the cycles and recognizing them and trying to break them.

Tool blow now. My son digs them and even he couldn't stand the last album. And yeah I have read about all the math stuff for the chords and stuff and wow you guy deep and your audience is dumb and and don't care.

Cool man I never knew the meaning of the song at all. I’m with you though about the band 100%. They are a one album band to me - like Pearl Jam with Ten.

I saw PJ in Hawaii when I was stationed there. Ten was out and Vs was not released yet. Once Vitalogy came out I was over PJ.

Okay, I'll play.

The NFL after 2016.
High fashion/expensive garments.
Jewelry.
Your bejeweled piercings.
Your sleeve tattoos and facial tattoos.
Your botox-injected lips.
Selfies in general.
Rap music/hip-hop culture.
Green energy.
The January 6th Committee hearings.
Basketball, any league, any level.
Skydiving.
Large cruise ships.
Hearing your spoiled child's entire trendy first, middle, and last name in the grocery store while you chase them around, allowing them to raise hell and act like a brat.
My car's extended warranty.
Modern pop radio.
Modern pop country radio.
Electric vehicles.
Scuba diving onto sunken ships.
The Grateful Dead.
Noisy, overly-loud, obnoxious exhaust systems on little ****-box Hondas, Mazdas, Toyotas, Scions, and Subaru's.
Photos of how you incorporated kale into your lunch today.

There are more, but I need to go crack open another beer right now.

Gender "identification"  🙄

Your "Gender" was identified at birth, when the OBGYN saw if the the newborn's PP is an out-ee or an in-ee. Its just that easy.

But wasn't he eating the cheeseburger on the beach?

I like the songs Come Monday and Son Of A Sailor and that is about it. My wife loves him and has seen him several times.

Other things I don't get;

Man-buns & "top-knots"

Manscaping.  🙄

Knit caps in the summer

Bringing back the torn jeans look

Gender "identification"  🙄

Whitefang

Manscaping:  When I had my hernia surgery, it was done for me. I kind of liked it. You know, shave your beard and your nose looks bigger. But, I would never do it myself.
