What is it about Tool that makes them popular?!


Question: What is it about Tool that makes them popular!?
I want to like Tool!. But when I listen to their albums, they go from soft to hard and back so much!. By soft, I don't mean easy listening, but just not heavy!. I listened to Lateralus today and kept turning my volume up every few minutes when the album got to where I couldn't hear it!.
Give me an explanation of why they sell like they do!. I love Metallica, but this band seems hard to like!. What am I missing!. I mentioned Metallica, because I seem to want to compare the two bands!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I am not a big fan, but I think it's because they have a sound that is so much different than anybody else!. Their lyrics are something kids today relate to!. I, on other hand, cannot see why Metallica is so popular!. I thought Megadeth was the better heavy metal band!. It seemed more genuine!. Metallica sold outWww@Enter-QA@Com

First off!. You cannot compare Tool and Metallica!. They are nothing alike!. So if you look at Tool as it's own thing instead of placing it next to something else, you might find out why!. They are more focused on straight up story telling and struggles with human emotions!. Yes they go from hard to soft from ballad to riff, and in my opinion it helps their music come to life!. I don't even really consider them "hard"!.

If you want to like them I suggest sitting down with the lyrics on paper in front of you and listen to an album from start to finish!. If you don't like them after that, that means Tool is not for you and that is okay!.

It's good though that you are giving a band further exploration than first glance, it helps you become more musically educated!.

P!.S!. Tool is not even close to my favorite band but they are some of the best live performers i have ever seen!. Seeing them live made me like them more!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

tool is pretty sweet!. they have a unique "alternative metal" sound that most bands can't pull off with the same class!. personally, i like maynards side project "a perfect circle" much more!. i would recommend checking them out!. they aren't similar to metallica though!.

people like tool because they think they are listening to something really heavy and metal, when they aren't really!. tool is a pretty decent band though!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

they have a different way of doing things!. there really is no set rhythm in their songs!. they all kind of dance around the rhythm (still sounding awesome) then come together in climactical parts of the song!. it is very complex!. tool is ******* amazing!. don't compare them with metallica!. they are good too, but tool is in a whole different league!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

They are popular because they speak to the people who are not sheep and choose to follow their own hearts instead of the masses!.

They are largely misunderstood for the same reasons!. People whose minds are closed to anything outside the accepted norm more than likely will not appreciate Tool!.

Those of us who are "reaching out to embrace the random, reaching out to embrace whatever may come!?" view them differently!.

Maynard ROCKS!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well they have a different sound and image than most bands out there so there are people who like them because they think they "get" the music and mainstream folks can't understand!. They sell more because people think it makes them cool and alternative to like ToolWww@Enter-QA@Com

Marketing Hype!.

I thought I would like tool, when they put out Undertow, but I saw them live and they bored me to tears!. Haven't listened to them since!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

They sell because people like to listen to them!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
