Freaking parents..

"Parental WARNING [EXPLICIT LYRICS] .....Tool lyrics are disturbing, violent and graphic.

Children who listen to these lyrics may experience depression, anger, fear, dissociation and develop inattention and trancing out as a habit.
It is highly suggested that parents inspect their children's CD collection for "Tool" and review the CD so that they may consult with their child about the music and remove it from their collection. If your child has internet access, be aware that he or she may be able to obtain this music from various places on the internet that allow downloading of music."

This is fucking crazy.. I was searching the web yeasterday, and I found this shit..
Hysterical parents. What harm can Tool's lyrics do? They can't disturb a child's mind, more than a violent movie or such.
If a child/teenager/adult (whatever) decides to listen to Tool, they should be allowed, and they will probably be mature enough to understand the meaning of the lyrics, and not interpret everything as it is written. God damn, this shit pisses me off..

[MorningStar]

Sorry,
it wasn't supposed to be put under "Opiate".

[987]

When i saw that i was positive it was just some bullshit put up for fun.

[BackToMyKnees]

They should take a look at lyrics from Lateralus and then say that.


Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock is what causes brain damage, not Tool. Hardly.

[SurvivalIsMyOnlyFriend]

wow....i hope that its just some bullshit someone put up for fun...if not...that really pisses me off. People are always blaming shit on music.

[Windir]

Sorry,
it wasn't supposed to be put under "Opiate".

*LOL*

Anyway... did you copied that from that 'I-hate-Tool' website?
I'm sure I've seen something similar as this on there.

Ah... who cares.

I always thought it was bullshit.

[AllforUnity]

Well...Opiate does have alot to do with sensorship...

lt's bullshit! Agreed.

[Zinnia]

i think it funny.
people are stupid, what can you do?

[naked_but_oblivious]

i stole the album opiate and aenima from my parents...i guess they dont care much about cencorship

[Stalkz]

I experiance depression, anger, fear, dissociation and develop inattention and trancing out as a habit, but I blame it on all the weed nyquill and dextramethorphan...
My parents never gave a flying fuck what I listend to though... so yeah. Good times for me.

[clown137]

the only thing that fucks kids over is bad parenting or just maybe a rough life, people don't realize how smart children are, you learn all the basics of living life b4 age eleven and it is said you can pick up on things much easier when you are a child, expose your children to as much as possible this is what prevents problems

[Liquid Ashes]

I thought that this website was hilarious. I showed it too my parents but they didnt really care. That stuff is such bs its so funny.

[NOeggs23]

i think i'd b more depressed and fucked up if i didnt listen 2 tool. people like that make me glad my parents aren't bible humpers.

[magdelena_xx]

Do they honestly think that listening to TOOL does the damage? I can think of a load of explicit and vulgar artists, Tool not being one of them.

But my mom doesn't want me to listen to them either. :/

[The Great Tom Sawyer]

the only thing that depresses me is the world.... music cheers me up

[hushypushy]

It seems like every thread from 2003 is getting revived...

[TJP]

well i wouldnt let my young child listen to lyrics like

"SHOOT YOU IN YOUR FUCKING HEAD"

if i had a child

[DON IOTAE]

well i wouldnt let my young child listen to lyrics like

"SHOOT YOU IN YOUR FUCKING HEAD"

if i had a child

MAN'S got a point...

[joeypk12]

my children will be raised on tool

[DON IOTAE]

there's a thread about a tool lullabies CD... somewhere.

[jevons]

MAN'S got a point...

sure fucking beats ''hit me baby one more time''

OR

''i'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way''

OR

''jump, jump jump on the diiiiiiiiiick, suck suck on the tits.''

Censorship should never happen, especially when it comes to children.
I'd much rathger them cry a bit and understand the process of death than spend a thousand samolians a week on some douchesack psychiatrists' funny couch ''delving into'' the reasons why daddy lied to them about grandma.

''why? why would he tell me that about the farm? She wasn't really on a farm with other grannies laughing and playing and having fun.''

My kid will be the kid who ruins Santa Clause for all the kindergarteners, and i will love him or her more for it.

Hiding life from the living was Falwell's job, and he's dead now.

NAPPY HEADED HO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cheesegreater]

You know, I can think of a ton of Tool songs that'd be just fine for the listening of a child. Take for instance, anything off of Lateralus. I mean Ticks is pretty angry, but that's a fundamental human emotion I would expect anyone to be familiar with. There's a lot fewer offensive songs by Tool than one might think.

I just got to see them last night. Fucking phenomenal show. If any of you guys haven't got to see them this tour, it's totally fucking worth it. I don't think they've ever really failed at delivering the goods in their 17 years of fine service. The show was really tight. Very close to Danny the entire time.

Well said. If we want sane kids, show them reality. I wouldn't necessarily wake them up with Opiate or Ticks and Leeches, but shit, it won't kill them.
The String Quartet for the womb days, Lateralus for the infancy, and then Aenima for the toddling.
If they hate it, fine.
I fucking doubt they will.

[OuRsOuLsInMoTiOn]

My 4 year old son sings Tool because he hears it so much. I'm quite sure when he is singing The Pot he doesn't even think about the meaning of the song, he saves that for baa baa black sheep.

i sense your irony, but i think it does beat those you mentioned...

[Eulogy33]

WTF??...i wanna look at this website. anyone have the link???

[weathermantom]

used to be www.toolband-sucks.com, I think, but it isn't there anymore.

[toolwithapenis]

its not there anymore

[PShepherd11]

It seems like every thread from 2003 is getting revived...

Well, the new members have to post somewhere...

I used to listen to Tool a lot when I was pregnant and after she was born she would always sleep soundly to it. Now that's she older, I only will let her hear the songs with no inappropriate language. I don't really want her to pick up on that, but I don't want her to miss out entirely.

HAHA. That's pretty funny.

I think Tool's music helps the majority of fans express and get rid of their anger and fear.

I often do trance out and not pay attention while listening to them, though, because I'm busy focusing and soaking in the music. Haha.

[remember_forget]

It's quite unfortunate that this site no longer exists. toolbandsucks was good humor... I've been trying to find a working archive

[Acid0.1]

This is way censorship is a cancer.

The first thing my kids will hear is going to be parabol/parabola
