there are 2 types of Tool fans, the sane ones who can appreciate other bands and other who are so up Maynard's butt they can't see anything else that he doesn't mention first.

i got the EVILEST look by suggesting that the band had been influenced by Led Zeppelin from one of the latter type of fans once hahaha. no no no, Tool is pure originality, there are no others that compare. they emerged fully formed from the sheer will of the Maynard, born of a vacuum, devoid of past influences, the epitome of heavy music, the only band that truly gets it.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dream Theater, and John Mayer all have obnoxious, stupid fans. So annoying that everyone who plays music at my school is an acolyte of one or more of these people.

Nirvana-Kurt Cobain death cult is just thick. Same for Joy Division.

I'm willing to excuse Nirvana fans somewhat because the music is pretty good. I'm willing to excuse Joy Division fans entirely because the music is great. But annoying fans of annoying artists are just the worst.

As if that hasn't been covered enough on this site.

Radiohead.

I like them, I don't really care for the superfluity of insipid morons who think sunlight shines from every crevice of Thom Yorke's lopsided face. I'd like to have an intellectual conversation with someone about music just once without being thrown the whole "OK Computer and Kid A are the best EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR" speech. And there's no point arguing with them about it when they're spoon fed from the anal drippings of the indie press. These kids haven't had an original thought in years.

There are going to be annoying fans of everything. They are people who can't see past their favorites, are vocal about it, and will change eventually. Whether that means they'll go on to like more and more music, one can only hope. But the majority obviously aren't into music the same way us folks are and will forget all about Thom Cobain by the time they're 30. Arguing with them is a pointless exersize.
