Oh wait was that a reference to Tool's music?
I thought it was referencing their videos, esp Sober

I don't listen to them regularly enough to recognize anything of their drumming tho I do love them

Truly one of my favorite wrestling moments of all time.
Second only to CM Punk's theme song being sang at MITB 2011.

Speaking of which, there is more to satisfaction at the job than how much it pays. There are many stories of people with high-paying but also highly stressful jobs (the two frequently go together) leaving those jobs for something lower paying but less stressful and more satisfying.
I doubt Marten could handle a high-paying but high-stress office job, like manager or VP or something else like that. Heck, I doubt he even WANTS one of those types of jobs. And as for taking a "safer" career path, well, with the economy and job market the way it is these days, I'm not sure there even is such a path any more. Companies merge and acquire each other daily, and when those deals are finalized employees are often laid off by the dozens, hundreds or even thousands, depending on size of the companies involved. This is basically what happened to Marten's office bitch job after all, and it's happened to people with more skills and experience than him. People who've worked their way up the ladder over years, reaching a pinnacle of pay and position, only to lose it in a layoff and ending up having to take a job making half or less what they did before. It's a story repeated over and over again across all kinds of career fields. In this kind of economy, you mind as well take a shot at something like a music career.
Your career path may be fairly secure now, stout, but don't count on it lasting. Most of us are vulnerable to an economic downturn, budget cut, business failure or merger/acquisition.

I never said the office path was a good one. Rather, it was an awful ine since he was a basic office drone. In this economy the people who survive are the ones with a skillset (could be math/science background, could be hands on like plumbing or hvac). Marten should find a background he enjoys where he learns a useful skillet to separate himself from the pack.
So far his only skill is guitar playing, hence why we find ourselves watching this arc. It's the easiest choice for Marten.
I just don't want to see this idea fail after years of effort and Marten being that much older and having no skills. Especially in a world where anthroPC's should be working all the basic labor jobs in the world(but that's a whole other issue though).
As this arc unfolds I will rank the bands inevitable accomplishments based on three outcomes: Hard Work, Pleasant Surprise, and Improbable Outcome based on what Marten knew going into this decision. So far...
Pleasant Surprise: We discover Hanners has latent drummer potential if properly trained.

Jeph's first technology dependent comic! When viewed on my iPad, Hanner's foot is going only a little faster than 1 beat per second. I didn't get at all what the joke was.

Oh shit I totally missed the video reference. I was mostly thinking about their drummers and the band itself being crazy math-loving people.
