I saw these guys Wednesday night: http://www.myspace.com/soundsofgeronimo

I was really impressed. I hadn't though about Man is the Bastard since the late 90s until this band was playing a show here. There's a whole bunch of Man is the Bastard associated bands playing pretty interesting noise / electronic music. Also related and worth checking out: The Bastard Noise & Amps for Christ.

hmmm, to me it sounds like the runoff from a Tool CD, ie all the bits they didn't put into their songs

I'm listening to a copy of an older Tool album I had lying around... the background noises sound similar

I could see that. Tool does introduce a lot of elements from different subgenres of heavy music and electronic music into the sound they put out.

Thought Tool was overrated then, think Tool is overrated now.

I would agree. They're top-notch musicians, but that does not necessarily mean the music is good or particularly unique. Then again what's "good" is relative to who you ask.

No point, just stating a fact.

Everyone is entitled to their wrong opinion.

And yours is equally wrong.

I've seen Tool 5 times. Only fun to see if you are drinking a bunch of beers and snorting some cocaine. Sorry to say it, but it's true.

Re: Geronimo Reply #12 on: August 29, 2009, 02:52:07 PM

Honestly though, those would make most events fun.

Re: Geronimo Reply #13 on: August 29, 2009, 02:55:47 PM

I don't get what's not to like about Tool. I like them fine. I think Adam Jones constructs a good video too.

Re: Geronimo Reply #14 on: August 29, 2009, 03:37:18 PM

I like a couple of Tool songs, but generally they're pretty blah.

Re: Geronimo Reply #15 on: August 29, 2009, 10:20:18 PM

I liked their first EP a lot. I also liked the first two albums. I was disappointed with the third. And I sold the fourth album back to the record store the same day I bought it after 1 listen.

Opiate is all that I will still listen to now.

I think Tool was primarily a good introduction to other heavy progressive or experimental music.
