The only reason they "sold their soul" is cause they play commercial rock for the masses in exchange for money.Neurotic said:yeah i dont see anything wrong with the lyrics, actually i always like them.
what i get from those lyrics is that to be able to do a record and get signed, you got to make a lot of comprimises, work your ass off, etc ( i mean living of music, not just an hobby), like it says on the lyrics, they sold their soul....to music.

CAIRATH said:The only Tool album that I think is hugely overrated is Aenima. It has some good songs on it but the album as a whole has no flow whatsoever and therefor I rarely feel like listening to it. Those stupid interludes ruin it completely. Lateralus is by far their best album and I'm curious what their next effort will be like. Maynard may be a pretentious dork but that isn't going to stop me from enjoying their albums.
And whoever said Tool sound like Opeth, you're insane, dude.
Neurotic said:yeah right lol varg is a genius lol get real dude...
musical genius? no fucking way.... musical geniuses are ppl like beethoven, stravinsky, bach that did works larger than life, immortal musical. (ppl seem to use the world genius a lot these days...)Ex-cally-boo said:A musical genius, fucking yes. Other than that, he is pretty intelligent but ... not a genius.

varg is just another metal musician (unless you count that casio album that i heard, that was pretty crappy)...i personally think his music nothing special, but to each their own...
of course not. it was merely examples. i just think ppl use to much the word genius ... to me genius is someone with a capacity (in this case for music) that few possess.Sinister Mephisto said:Okay I agree with you about Varg but I hope you're not implying that the only a classical composer can be a musical genious. I'll list some others if that's what you mean.
Birkenau said:First off, learn to spell, it's people not ppl.
Secondly, back in their day, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach etc were not universally acclaimed geniuses, infact most of the time they were unknown, poor and looking for odd jobs and commissions, so there goes your stupid theory.
Thirdly, if you can't appreciate Burzum, then you're probably retarded or seriously lacking in musical taste (I'm guessing your both).
Thank you for your time, next please.
Neurotic said:first of all i'm not english, so mocking the way i spell is stupid. "ppl" is just an abreviation for people, but if you didn't realize that , not my fault... (funny how everyone goes to a grammar contest when lacks arguments)
The Bringer said:I think the reason why he said it's not spelt ppl is because everyone that comes here doesn't use abbreviations. Like "how r u 2day?". Because we are much more mature than that (Or we think we are! :Spin: )
