How, in all that is holy and half the things that aren't, do you think Maynard is trying to "wannabe" like Marley?

You're either trolling so weakly that your lure sunk to the bottom and confused me, or you straight up have zero idea what you're talking about.

Edit: Ooookay guys and gals ( and everything in between <3 ) I get it. It's a Maynard quote. I had no idea as I've only just kinda been introduced to Tool through my son and think they are great. You could see my confusion if had no context though right?

Also, I'm leaving the comment up. I'm 50+ and man enough to wear my mistakes.

Obviously you're not a golfer...

EDIT: haha in all seriousness relax. Maynard says this before one of their songs off their Opiate album - Cold and Ugly. It's from an early live performance.

Fuck, you got me so confused on that one my missus asked me if was having reflux again from the expression on my face. I felt like I was having a senior moment.

I'll take your advice and give Opiate a shot. Any other great albums I should get? My boy is coming over for the holidays and I'd love to have a good selection to have playing while we sink some beers and shoot the shit.

The golfer reference is a quote from The Big Lebowski. If you haven't seen it, would definitely recommend. Every Tool album is great. My personal favorites are Undertow and Aenima. Also check out the drum cam on YouTube of Pneuma if you're new to being a Tool fan.

Pneuma was one of the songs I heard when my kid played some of their songs for me. I thought it was amazing! The Pot and Sober were also two others he played for me and they were absolutely killer. Thanks for the recommendations I'll give those albums a listen.

Maybe listen to Opiate and get back to us.

This is an older album? I've only just started to listen to them. My son played some last time he came to visit me and they have a fucking amazing sound. I was planning to buy some albums to hear more. Would Opiate be a good one? If not, any more suggestions?

Whoosh. Maybe go re-listen to Opiate before you go off on your rants.

Excuse me for not knowing every single song and act that Tool has ever played. Never listened to Opiate. Only heard of Tool through my oldest son and kinda like what I hear.

It's all good. If you're a Tool fan definitely check that album out. Happy holidays to you.

It's a quote from MJK on the Opiate album.

Ahhh. Makes sense now. I had no idea it was a quote as I've only heard a few songs here and there since my son loves them so much. They have a fucking great sound and from the lyrics on the songs that I have heard, Maynard really puts meaning into his words.
