I’m sure the lyric “shit the bed again, typical” resonated with him very strongly.
Donnie will never forgive himself for forgetting his giant sharpie pen either.
That man has never listened to tool in his entire fucking life
Bet he’s listened to a tool before
I am though. I PROMISE.
Please help me out here. I was never a huge Tool fan, but I did have Undertow, but I’m missing the joke here.
A lot of the lyrics to tool songs focus on transcendental, spiritual, or psychedelic experiences. They also feature complicated compositions and a high degree of technical skill. As a consequence, some folks that have a “I’m on a higher plane of existence compared to you sheeple” attitude are attracted to the band. Which I think is what the meme is poking fun of.
There is some truth to it I suppose. When pusicfer (whose lead is the singer from tool) released Apocalyptical during the pandemic (a song that was clearly criticizing the stupidity of covid deniers/misinformation consumers) a lot of tool fans got upset because the song was not consistent with their conspiratorial world-view
You explained it in much better detail than I did. Thanks.
Some tool fans fancy themselves as deep intellectuals, simply because of their understanding of Tool’s lyrical themes, musical scales, etc. and assumption that other people just don’t “get it”. It’s technically very demanding and difficult music, and therefore attracts many holier than thou pretentious types.
These are the only tools i listen to
