Hmmm...not to get off on a tangent or start some trouble, but Tool has NEVER
engaged in any sort of corporate promotion...they have always been a
"word-of-mouth" band, and any success they've gotten has been due to their
own hard work, not because of some major label finagling. I'd love to know
what makes them a "throwaway mainstream band", when the group has been
performing for over 10 years...and the music they play is about as far from
mainstream as you can get. It's pretty insulting just to see them include
in the same SENTENCE as Limp Bizkit. Next time, try to validate your
statements with some sort of facts, rather than just blathering, ok? In any
case, we all know what opinions are like, hmm?
Zoopadeedoo!
