Henchman of Santa posted:The prog, metal, or even butt rock threads probably make more sense than this one. This thread title has both indie rock and pop, it seems to cover a wide swath to me. Seems like a band with three Grammy's and two #1 albums could fairly be called "pop" in at least some sense? They're definitely not metal, maybe prog rock, definitely not butt rock. They're pretty much just "mainstream rock." Of some kind. Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 01:01 on May 9, 2019 |

If they're talking about Lizzo in this thread then surely Tool is game.

I saw some guy say somewhere else that a friend described Tool as a heavier Pink Floyd to get him interested in going to a concert, so whatever you think that is...

We do have a pop thread but it would be extremely silly to bring Tool in there. There is a hard rock thread that needs some love as well. Anyway I’m not gonna like, throw probes out for it or whatever, but there are threads for mainstream rock that get little attention. I’m also surprised there isn’t a Tool/MJK specific thread, considering how Tool fans are.

Nail Rat posted:Yeah the songs made me a believer again, but it seems like most people just kind of gave up and moved on, I'm amazed at the internet's collective "meh" Where's this collective "meh" coming from? Tool may have shot themselves in the foot by the album delay and not having their music on streaming services, but they still sell out arena's all over the country (including in red states where most indie bands don't ever dare play in) and they even played on crossover festivals such as Governors Ball, Boston Calling, and Voodoo Fest back in 2016/2017.

At this point rock music is basically where jazz music was in the '80s or so (and has basically stayed). People are still making it, and can make a comfortable living off it. And there are enough people who still like it, including critics who are happy to tell you which artists are important and good. But aside from the very occasional crossover or guest appearance, it's totally gone from the mainstream. I don't think it'll ever be big again. Even rock bands who consistently sell out stadiums don't really make a dent in the radio anymore, unless it's a double feature with The Chainsmokers.

Then you show up being a complete oval office with this sort of derailment, accusing me of being a MAGA-shill. As Maynard from Tool would say: gently caress you buddy.

I didn't mean anything by it

Tool will fill arenas in any area of the USA, and most of the world. I think they are doing the random smaller city tour thing to warm up before their album is actually released and they go on some mega world tour.. not to mention those cities don't often get major acts so it's a nice change for them.. not because "rednecks".
