Yes, I like Godsmack better than Tool. Deal with it.

I got figuratively BEATEN TO DEATH on a gaming forum for saying this. That tells you a LOT about the kind of people who use gaming forums.
Tool is the bottom rung of pretentious heavy music. When a Tool fan gets too pretentious, or older than 15, he gets into Mike Patton idolisation. Then, the paths bifurcate. Some go to Devin Townsend, some to Dream Theater, a few to Ayreon.
Also, a small list of things Tool aren't:
Original, innovative, particularly clever, metal.
Rubby:
When I was 17 and ingesting LSD like water, I liked Tool.
TrueNeutral:
Yeah, gamers are often RABID Tool fans. And before they all discovered Tool, it used to be all about System of a Down and Rage Against The Machine. I saw so many threads saying 'SOAD/RATM WH1CH 1S B3TT3R' as if they were actually trying to compare the two.

--- Quote from: TrueNeutral ---So have the new Pearl Jam and the new Godsmack. Both of which I was looking forward to more than the new Tool.

I heard the new Godsmack single on the radio Tuesday. -insert double take and "wtf, they're still around?!"-
Heh. I think they started to kinda go downhill after Awake.

It's interesting, because they used to rip off Alice In Chains a lot, but in this album, they ripped off tons of bands. Their new single has a bit of an industrial feel, Mama sounds more like a Black Album Metallica song than any song actually ON the Black Album, and the opener Livin' In Sin sounds like, ironically, Tool.
I think Godsmack made a couple of good songs on each record. Too bad the rest of the songs on each record sound exactly the same. I do quite like The Other Side, though.
E. Spaceman:
This is a Tool fan, Do you really want to be a Tool fan?
KharBevNor:
Well, Godsmack did start off as an Alice in Chains tribute band.
I always felt a bit sorry for Godsmack. They got caught up in nu-metal, but aren't. And to have that kind of taint on you sucks. Plus, they have some actually rather good songs. Voodoo anyone?
