The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post - A collection of Letters pertaining to the music industry.

um is this where i can shoot, kill, slaughter, punch, kick, piss on, shit on, grapple and rip at the sight of the infectious disease that is killing the music industry, the disease is called popaloadofshit musicshitty, tho the abbreviated is pop music.
todays music industry is a burning fucking building, and the element that is fuelling the master fire is commercialism. a gunboat as it is, finding its way into every square inch of the globe. it seems as tho that it is a necessity for the greater population.

im suffering, everyday, endless frustration and anger. because every time i used to listen to mainstream radio or watch channel v (Australia’s version of mtv, tho not that commercial yet, its travelling in the right direction however), all that would travel through my conical would either be a superficial poptart, or a group of snag (sensitive new age guy) wannabe's attempting to communicate with there petty fans through intimate glances and cliche rhymes (i wanna love you, oh baby and now now baby, just to name a few). when i see or hear this i just sink, and ponder on how fucking sad these people are.

its looking as tho its hasn’t even hit its peak here in australia, with arthritic events as 'rumba' (australian pop tour) and shopping mall shows it is a well fuelled fire at that.
we have a few saviours, tho only 1 seems to shine from the small pack, they shine with values, persistent vision and intelligence when writing and performing music.
there vision and passion for music can only lead upwards, tho its only 4 voices that exercise it. its not enough when you are up against a mass of robot fame junkie's. and it just reinforces Tool's and our vision for music when we all think positive. tho in times like these its difficult.
it is of the utmost importance that tool continuing with performing and writing of music. Tool remain our only vehicle for a decent music sheet.
it sincerely depresses me when i think back to 94 - 99, tools new release aenima, with other releases from rage, soundgarden and the tea party, and then i think about recent times, there is nothing, im sure there is quite alot of great music being written, tho due to this fucked up disease, we are cut short of a ride, an important ride at that.
my advice is to anyone listening to mainstream radio, get off it now, look for an underground station, and look into the darker room.
what starts well must end well,
thats my say,
im out
