The most influential/important bands of each decade

<< < (8/12) > >>

Spluff:
That first part is an opinion. I consider Tool to be progressive metal. And even if they weren't metal, how exactly does that mean they can't influence any metal bands? To name a few examples, Opeth were influenced by Porcupine tree, Neurosis were influenced by Joy Division, and Agalloch were influenced by GYBE.

really? you've personally sat down and asked EVERY SINGLE METAL BAND EVER if they were influenced by Tool?

wow you must be, like, really really fast or something. Are you The Flash?



p.s. you're an idiot.

Be My Head:
Well I should not have said 0 influence, but it's obvious they haven't had any really notable impact on the metal scene, or the progressive metal scene in particular. I would attribute that to other bands.

I still stand by my statement that most of the bands they've influenced are probably alternative rock bands. Unless you consider Chevelle and System of A Down heavy metal. Which I don't.

Scandanavian War Machine:
you know "influenced by" has nothing to do with "sounds like" right?
it's like at the beginning of movies where they say "inspired by a true story." that could mean literally anything.

for example:
"i saw a documentary about giraffes and that inspired me to write a book about hang-gliders."

They have nothing to do with each other but one could be said to have inspired the other.

Be My Head:
I was under the impression we were discussing bands that consciously said to themselves that they wanted to sound like that band or take a part of their sound and use it.
