Hello People,

A friend of mine is letting me use his account for this post. I'm an advertiser for AppleBees Restaurant and I just wanted to run something by all of you. My company is thinking about using a Tool song for one of our commericials and before spending all the effort in trying to get a contract with the band, i would like to run it by you fans to see if it's plausible.

The commercial is going to be for our Boneless Buffalo Wings and we plan on making it very widespread. Someone brought in the song "Wings for Marie Part II" off of the album "10,000 Days" because it features a powerfully sung line that goes "give me my, give me my, give me my...WINGS." Our team thinks the line is absolutely perfect for what we are looking for.

Anyway, let me know what yall think!

-George Greenstein, Applebees Advertising Division

P.S. The reason i ask is because we've heard some rumors about Mr. James Keenan, the singer, being very unnapproachable. We're worried that it may be difficult to gain rights for the song. This man would be crazy to turn this offer down considering all the money we're gonna offer him and his bandmates.

Nope, i think it's a terrible idea. I've hated those commercials that have taken bad songs, put new singers and changed around the lyrics, and made them even worse. If you kept the song exactly how it is...maybe, maybe i'd say yes, but as for now, i'm going with absoluitely not.

I'm all for it. Finally, the song would actually have a meaning to me (the listener).

You, and Applebees, are a disgrace to Judith, Maynard, Tool, and all wing lovers out there.

That's fucking hilarious. Would be a total misuse of the song, and would it be the actual Tool version? Man, please don't do it.

Is he actually serious?

Maynard would have to be in the actual commercial ordering the hot wings, that's the only way it'd work out to be funny. Otherwise, it's a crap idea.
