Now Tool fans have a new word to insult each other with.

I love "Right In Two," but I really can't stand what it has spawned.

All anyone does is insult each other here. It's as if you're all enemies. It's completely bizarre and a total antithesis of what one would expect Tool fans to be like after listening to the band and their various messages of unity, compassion, communication, and understanding.

"Sheep." "Monkeys." What a cop-out way to disagree.

Try being nice to each other! Being nice rules.

Love,
Matt

Monkey.

I agree.

I thought the same thing when I first heard it..

I thought "Oh my God, we're not blind sheep anymore! We're murderin' monkeys!"

We're all either sheep, dogs, or pigs - according to Roger Waters. Maybe MJK wanted to throw in monkeys as well.

I'll agree that the unnecessary and unwaranted insults on this forum are a bit much. Jokes are one thing, but some things are just brutal.

I agree . . . no, wait minute, fuck you, your avatar just gave me the finger!

Indeed. I guess that's what you get when you allow free stating of opinion, though. You would think that maybe, just maybe, those who appreciate and at least somewhat understand Tool's music would be a little kinder to one another. Heh...the burdens of free-will.
-Free will...another thought from Right in Two, no? Oh well.

ever since this album came out i've been seeing crazy monkey references everywhere in pop culture...SnL this past weekend particularly...anyone notice how PJ and RHCP have been the last 2 musical guests?

Some people beg for it. *cough Windir *cough*

Roger Waters used monkeys as metaphors for humans all throughout his solo album Amused To Death. Such a good album. So is Animals. That actually might be my favorite Pink Floyd release.

Maynard's use of monkeys in the song is perfect. The fans' use of it on this messageboard (and elsewhere) is totally inappropriate. It's such a second-hand embarassment moment.

yes i agry whit styx monkey=human.
to bad many fans are to young to understand the meaning in the luricks,they just dont get the point.

you have some grammar problems :P

You don't say? :)

I liked it in The Prophecy when Christopher Walken's character called humans 'talking monkeys'.


I'm keen on the term 'ape', myself. And I've always liked the term 'sheep'.

wanna make out?

Another thread gone down the drain.

someone has notice that there is some grama prop,yuuhu congrats to you my freind.old news comes last ,what a jerk.

Aw c'mon. It's a rare display of love in here. Bask in it.

Want a hug? I've got hugs!

I was kidding. hence the tongue smiley face I made. but you are just mean *cries*

Well... When you've put it like that how could I say no. :)

sorry styx but i dont thing the teens got the point yet,maby they should just ceab on listen to robbie williams.

From one Comic Book Guy fan to another Comic Book Guy fan:

<hug>

oh i dident see eny smily face sory.cheers mate
no harm is ment to be done.

tis ok

To be completely honest, I thought from the title of this thread that you were comparing "Right in Two" to "Sheep" by Pink Floyd.

Bush did, and he is probably at his ranch now laughing at you!

Not a reply really, just a blanket statement. Visualizing the earth from above, taking it in all in at once, unfortunately this is what we see. Monkees killing monkees killing monkees.......from the political factions in power....to the corner convenience store on your block. It surely sucks.

The new catchphrase for all Tool fans:
'Lol I question authority and I think for myself. The new album is a hoax and ur all stupid monkeys!!11!!!1!'

The monkey thing, IMO, applies to ALL OF US. Even Maynard himself. All humans are monkeys. And it's not a new metaphor, by any means.

Man, even INCUBUS has used it before Tool ("we're apes with ego trips")... So please, don't start acting all holier than thou, calling eachother monkeys. I'm a monkey, you're a monkey, everyone's a monkey. The end.
