The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post - 11 Reasons Why Eulogy Cannot Be About Jesus or L. Ron Hubbard

Well anything's possible, including that Justin is the next fool martyr that is referred to. The way I thought of it this morning kinda fits -- to become a talented a band as TOOL has become, they certainly probably have had to sacrifice alot.

I mean was Picasso well-rounded? Probably not. He sacrificed to become what he became.

So Justin, welcome aboard, fool. You will gain alot, but who you were before this, well, its gone.

This could be the reference to martyrdom. What have they given up to dedicate themselves to their craft? We know from their level of musicianship that they've reached new heights. I'm sure they sacrificed a hell of a lot for their cause. And part of their cause being the bringing of a kind of consistent philosophical message to their listeners. Therefore its not a terrible stretch to think of that as akin to martyrdom as often referred to in the religious context.
