Now it seems kind of boring and the same.

But New generations are getting in at different times so the perspective is off.

They did pry a crowbar in my head and help me think for myself.(dumb metalhead)

So for that there on legendary status with me.

Yeahh.....I don't know about them being boring, but good for you for thinking on your own because of them.

That's a cool story, glad to see another Tool fan.

I love a good Tool thead and hearing from all sorts. I am of the subjective opinion that they still fucking rock, and also do owe them my gratitude for the messages they put out. "Think for yourself, question authority".

And the few concerts I have been to, Maynard has ended each time witht he message: "I want you to take htis feeling you have right now, and do something positive with it".

Except for at the last concert. He was sick but still gave an awesome performance. After saying that line/\ /\ /\ /\ he ended by saying "Now I'm going to go drink some Nyquill and jerk off"

That fucking rocks
