the guy from nickelback should sing though he's got a way better voice than maynard g krebs
maynard plebs
pffft its all about pink floyd tool and led zeppelin, the three best bands on earth, get back to me when someone makes something at par with what they did
Plagiarize a 1950's blues song, add a bunch of whammy bar and hire susan boyle to sing, congratulations you've just created led zepplin
convince the melvins to stop experimenting and sell out and write radio friendly top 40 nonsense, congratulations you've just created tool
be nothing more than a backup band for roger waters for 25 years, then kick him out of the band and release an album nobody anywhere likes, go back to releasing live albums of shit that roger wrote. congratulations you're david gilmour.
lol
Another songwriter credited on the album was Gilmour's then girlfriend, Polly Samson. She helped him write several tracks, including, "High Hopes", a collaborative arrangement which, though initially tense, "pulled the whole album together" commented Ezrin.
whats weird is you talking to yourself about this shit in every single thead

yes, it was after the wall in 1979 that pink floyd really blew up and discovered stardom :stare:Quote:

if you want to look at it that way all rock was a rip-off of black blues and folk musicQuote:

they were a household name after that point their fanbase wasn't just a bunch of stoners who owned a copy of dark side of the moon anymore. Growing up killed the band.Quote:

i don't know why they didn't give writing credits, what do you want me to say? that they were stuck-up assholes out to pillage and rape music of its heritage for the sake of profit? I dont think they had that in mind
I want you to stop claiming that a band who stole every one of their notable songs is one of the three most talented bands of all timeQuote:

there was only one album after the wall, slickQuote:

this isn't quackery online the video that you posted provides examples of led zepplin getting sued and losing. they're plagiarists in the eyes of the law.Quote:

they see whatever the fuck they want and throw people away to die because the thought of it gives them a boner
terrifying, isn't it?
i don't claim to be a musical scholar, i'm trying to block out the flood drowning everyone in a sea of their own pissQuote:

do you ever stop and think about what you're saying? why don't you go grab a beer and poptart and we'll have a laugh about all of it insteadQuote:

if you just dont listen to maynard's crazy lyrics the music stands for itself incredibly well
it's pretty awesome that you stopped liking tool when they stopped experimenting and started writing songs specifically to get on the radio, that p much tells everyone all they need to know about your middle of the road mainstream taste in music
itt something plug drugs has never heard before, an innovative rock band

remember when cody used to kiss my ass so hard it made me uncomfortable? that's how maynard from tool talks about these guys
