Poll: Tool vs. Limp Bizkit

Oh, and this poll was inspired by this thread.

Bizkit for me!

tool by a trillion miles

though break stuff is a jam

At their height, I hated them. Now they just seem quaint and harmless. And easier to ignore. So I'm voting Limp Bizkit.

WEAR THE GRUDGE LIKE A CROWN!

As a teenager I genuinely liked LBs first album. Faded very fast, second album sealed that I in fact hated them. But still.

Anyway, Tool, who I think are OK, by a light year.

Bizkit.

I have never parted with money for Limp Biskit albums, so they get my vote.

On the other hand, I really like Tool's Aenima (the song, not the whole long, boring, Bill-Hicks-sample-filled album).

I really like the first Perfect Circle album, but they're not the same thing.

tool because every generation deserves their own rush.

lol rong

If anything a Bizkit victory would be ILM Challops Revisionism at its worst.

I dunno, Tool are better, more interesting musicians by a significant margin, but they're just so po-faced. Bizkit have an inkling that they're basically preposterous.

Gotta give it to Tool really though, Undertow was pretty rocking.

Wow this one's going to the wire!

Good points for both bands:

LB: had Method Man phoning it in for a cameo on one of their old tracks.
Tool: Hidden homosexual agenda. Also had PQM project cover one of their songs and turn "Anathema" into a trance tune with female diva vocals.

Tool are better, more interesting musicians by a significant margin, but they're just so po-faced.

Yeah, but since when are prog-metal guys allowed to be interested in FUN?

Power metal aside, of course.

Sorry foax, my mistake, The PQM cover was of "Aenema" (and it's a banger)

Tool: Hidden homosexual agenda.

Didn't they call one of their records "Prison Sex" though?

Tool by a significantly large margin. This ILX revisionism kills me. What's next Dave Matthews Band winning a DMB vs. Kraftwerk TS?

That's not an entirely fair comparison. Tool are no Kraftwerk.

Tool never came near as good a song as "Everybody N 2 Gether Now".

Kraftwerk never came near as good a song as "Tripping Billies"

True, and I can see the sense of this poll re: ridiculousness, but still... wasn't Fred Durst like ILX's most hated man for quite some time?

Tool ARE interested in fun, tho! The booklet art for Aenima consists of a load of spoof album covers.

I take it you'll be voting Tool, then.

TS: po-faced vs. black-faced

I haven't made my mind up quite yet.

Tool are the dullest live band it's ever been my displeasure to witness (Lateralus release show at Hammerstein Ballroom). Limp Bizkit at least had the Woodstock '99 fratboy riot to their credit. So since there's no "shoot yourself in the face like that mutilated Judas Priest fan" option, I gotta go with LB.

tool by far but i don't really care to hear any new tool albums

thread neds more raggett

was that mistake deliberate? If not, then kudos!

of course it was deliberate, take yr kudos elsewhere

in fact KUDOS DANNY CAREY DANNY CAREY GREAT JOB GREAT DRUMMER SIX-ARMED BEAST OF ROCK SATAN DANNY CAREY

of TOOL

That's me told.

Tooled more like amirite haw

Limp Bizkit at least had the Woodstock '99 fratboy riot to their credit.

lol rape

Tool are better, more interesting musicians by a significant margin, but they're just so po-faced.

This is *so* incredibly wrong. That Maynard James Keenan dude is practically a comedian! He's in Mr. Show skits, and performs in old fashioned pajamas with the butt flap hanging open, wrote a song called "Hooker with a Penis," does hilariously deadpan interviews, etc. etc. No sex tape yet, though.

N 2 Gether Now is shit

And the video is an abortion

Tool, obviously. More annoying fans, but that's because they /have/ fans.

That's the point duh. LB don't have fans so are less irritating.

maynard never appeared on an episode of house or were subjects of an anal cunt song.

that said, i vote TOOL.

also, it's a good excuse to post Anal Cunt lyrics:

Fred Durst is a fucking faggot
He thinks he's black, but he's just gay
He cancelled a show 'cause he sprained his ankle
He's also a fucking midget

Chorus:
You're not fucking black, you're just fucking gay (x2)
You're fucking gay

The guitarist wears a mask
To hide the cum stains on his face
They're the gayest band I've ever seen
And I've seen the Culture Club live

Fred wears a hat to hide his baldness
I refuse to believe blacks think he's cool
I wish he'd beaten and raped by some black guy
And see if he still wants to be black

While Tool aren't one of my favorite bands (in fact, the only one I'm a really big fan of is Aenima), I would rather listen to Roseanne queef the national anthem than ever hear Limp Bizkit again.

Limp Bizkit: got famous by buying prime time ad time on a Portland radio station called KUFO - for $15k they got a week of heavy rotation of their first single "Counterfeit". It worked, though this legal scandal made the NY times.

Tool: took Melvins, Isis, Mastodon, Kinski, Melt-Banana, Big Business, Russian Circles, Trans Am, and King Crimson on tour as support acts.

***

I don't listen to either but I do respect one of these bands to some degree.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

They're the gayest band I've ever seen
And I've seen the Culture Club live

dude, why go to a culture club concert in the first place? Moreso, why go to a limp bizkit concert if you hate them that much?

Oh and you're an idiot Nate. Since when is payola mildly revolutionary or respect-worthy?

Yeah, get out of that one Seth From Anal Cunt

I just remembered that I liked Tool's Opiate pretty well. If my memory serves me (which it doesn't usually) parts of it reminded me of Nomeansno. Never could figure out why he wanted to throw that Bob Marley wannabe motherf*cker outta there though.

I think the story goes, that was Zach De La Rocha and he was joking with his buddy.

Oh. Oh, ew.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

(of tool)

Tool pwn Limp Bizkit shocka! Really high turnout too...

yay ILM has not gone completely crazypants

I bet some of the LB votes were ironic too

I wouldn't want to listen to either particularly, I think I would at least glean some enjoyment from Durst and co. though. So not exactly an ironic choice, more making the best of a bad job.

y'know, I used to really like (and still do marginally like) LB's "Stuck"...it's a neat little rap about Social Distortion, and the cadences get
a little tricky sometimes.

shoulda been 66-0

Wow. ILM was a different battleground back in 2008.
