Is the band "Tool" satanic or just philosophical? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23977989 12/07/2012 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why ? Because you're agnostic and you like Tool? Eat shit faggot. Tool DOES believe in God... That is, at least to say Maynard James Keenan does because HE IS a recovering alcoholic/addict, you moron. All the things they talk about relate to how the government brainwashes us and how sick fucking people are because they KNOW how THEY are and have overcome it. Listen to Vicarious: "Eye on the TV 'cause tragedy thrills me Whatever flavour It happens to be like; Killed by the husband Drowned by the ocean Shot by his own son She used the poison in his tea And kissed him goodbye That's my kind of story It's no fun 'til someone dies Don't look at me like I am a monster Frown out your one face But with the other Stare like a junkie Into the TV Stare like a zombie While the mother Holds her child Watches him die Hands to the sky crying Why, oh why? 'cause I need to watch things die From a distance Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies You all need it too, don't lie Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowing Neither the brave nor bold The writers of stories sold We won't give pause until the blood is flowing I need to watch things die From a good safe distance Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies You all feel the same so Why can't we just admit it? Blood like rain come down Drawn on grave and ground Part vampire Part warrior Carnivore and voyeur Stare at the transmittal Sing to the death rattle La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men. Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen. Shouldn't have to say it all again. The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive. So it is. So it's always been. We all feed on tragedy It's like blood to a vampire Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies Much better you than I" THIS should pretty much be GLP's theme song. They are talking about the world jerking off to blood on the news because they like to watch things die "from a good safe distance" because they are scumbags possessed by the Devil to put that extremely briefly. And of course, "Sober" There's a shadow just behind me, Shrouding every step I take, Making every promise empty, Pointing every finger at me. Waiting like a stalking butler Who upon the finger rests. Murder now the path of "must we" Just because the son has come. Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past is done? Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past is done? Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why can't we drink forever. I just want to start this over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave, I will work to elevate you Just enough to bring you down. Mother Mary won't you whisper Something but the past is done. Mother Mary won't you whisper Something but the past is done. Why can't we not be sober? Just want to start this over. Why can't we sleep forever. I just want to start this over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave, Trust me [x5] Why can't we not be sober? Just want to start things over. Why can't we sleep forever. I just want to start this over. I want what I want [x4] This is why most tards relate to the music so much because HE is singing about how he USED to be before he got sober... and most of you are still LIKE THAT, sadly, so you enjoy singing the lyrics. In summary, no, Tool is not Satanic, nor it is Agnostic as you wish it was. And it's not philosophical either, like you agnostics like to pride yourselves being. It speaks the TRUTH, is what. Truth is not "philosophy." That whole recovery thing must be pretty hard when you own and operate a vineyard. |

You know all that money he made from his music, you'd think being a super star he would piss is up against the wall or drugs, but no he has purchased area's suitable for certain grapes for his wine business. And his wine is very unique |

They like Crowley, their stuff is dark and their video images horrifying and frightening and then they are into the occult and we have an image of one of them sitting in the middle of a pentagram. So we are supposed to think that they are just harmless agnostics and philosophers? I think the real question to ask is, is there any popular music at all, that is not satanic these days? |

In this case Tool did not need or accept corporate pirates, yes the real pirates. Unfortunately/fortunately the band rose to its heights without all the internet babble. |

Occultism sounds like a good description for their most out there stuff. I don't think they're actual satanists per say.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29285987 So according to christians, which believe that if you are not with Christ then you are against him, this would be satanic. I wonder if that is a by-product of being ass-fucked and preached too at the same time. |

| Twahly User ID: 29098376 03/30/2013 01:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh, I'm bummed now. Tool has been my all-time favorite band since Opiate. Just lately I've discovered they're fondness for Crowley who dedicated his book to Satan as well as their demo tape is titled 72826 which is what you get when you dial the word Satan (not me reading into it, they said it). I believe existence is pure consciousness and we are a portion of that, merely having an experience as Joe/Bob/Mike or whoever in order to learn lessons and graduate to the next level. I also believe organized religion embraces many "truths" about existence, but puts a name on it as God in order to control us. Never the less I thing there is a dark presence that can be tapped into and hope that isn't their objective, but that (as in Hush) they are "just kidding". Either way they'll continue you be the greatest to me. It hasn't affected me in 20+ years so I'm immune or else they are just spiritual. Tool is the only band today that has four individual members who are absolute masters of their craft and amazingly, by playing together, they are not only NOT hindered but actually their talents are increased. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 36614917 03/30/2013 02:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tool promotes new age and occultism, opening the third eye, eastern mysticism, "spiritual evolution", not to mention a habit of directly mocking Christianity. So yea, they are the definition of a satanic-influenced rock band, though notably much more sophisticated than most other rock groups. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23223519 They have hypnotized untold millions into their mystic worldviews. This is coming from personal experience. I used to be a Tool-fanatic. |
