The horror interview

[BRI]

I actually heard a similar thing on the radio. They played Lazarus and the gay radio guy actually said "that's the great new single from the up and coming band Porcupine Tree." He then went on to compare them with Keane. Motherfucker.

 

[Saber Rider]

Well, actually PT are kind of 'up and coming'.
Would've been something different if he said 'newcomers' though.

 

[Brains for breakfast]

I find it amusing how some people claim to be a 'fan' of a band, and yet have no idea that band has any albums out pre-mtv. Case in point: Tool. Nobody knows Undertow is just as great as Aenima. :Smug:

 

[Saber Rider]

I find it kinda strange how popular Tool is in the states.

Why is that?

 

[MestHoop]

MTV news (by some random chick): And in other great news, the new and rising nu-metal band called opeth has just released theyre debut album called "the baying of the... (stutters a while and continues story as if she finished the sentence).

then Mikael walks in and bitchslaps her

they get played on the radio and MTV :Spin:

 

[Saber Rider]

I mean, did they have a big hit in the states?

I can't recall MTV playing any Tool video here...

 

[Brains for breakfast]

I don't know about the states, but even tough I love Tool, the song Schism got so much airplay, even now I get sick just for listening to it.

They do have some very cool vids. I think Opeth should take they guy who did the vids for theirs :Spin:

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

Yeah, Tool are pretty popular over here.

 

[Majestic]

They do have some very cool vids. I think Opeth should take they guy who did the vids for theirs :Spin:

Adam Jones did the videos, he also PLAYS in Tool, so I doubt Opeth would 'take' him... besides, I don't believe the style would suit Opeth's music.

 

[ViCyniC]

No Opeth music videos, ever.

Except for Windowpane.

 

[R0l0]

^ I'm almost certain there's going to be one for the new album.

 

[Pseud0]

^ probably true.


ps: tool is overrated to the max

 

[Brains for breakfast]

^ probably true.


ps: tool is overrated to the max

Maybe, but I find it funny how even Mikael admits liking them :Spin:

I guess being signed to RR automaticly suggests lots of vids..

 

[AnTz0r]

probably only if they will shorten their songs... to anywhere under 6 minutes!

 

[Korlich]

probably only if they will shorten their songs... to anywhere under 6 minutes!

Yuck, that´s a disgusting thought!

 

[deliverance]

probably only if they will shorten their songs... to anywhere under 6 minutes!

nah, the people will just cut out certain parts of a song, to make a suitable length for the video, and keep it under 6 minutes.

 

[Saber Rider]

ps: tool is overrated to the max

No, they're not.

 

[Saber Rider]

Simply put:

Tool crushes Orphaned Land.

 

[Saber Rider]

I love making you smile.
