The bolded part in your opinion just makes it so hard to take you seriously. That's basically what everybody says about every band they don't like.

I didn't mean it in a pretentious prog rock kind of way, and I don't care if you take me seriously or not.

It's not that. It just sounds like your using a tired out of date opinion to state why you don't like the band, instead of thinking up something yourself to say why you don't like the band. Saying "they sound like 14 year olds" is just an excuse to not say anything constructive.

It didn't state anywhere that I had to be constructive, if it had of I wouldn't have posted anything because I cant think of anything constructive to say about them.

Well, you don't HAVE to be constructive, but if you're trying to generate conversation, it's always good to have some sort of meat to your opinion.

I'm not trying to generate conversation, I was just expressing an opinion, isn't that what forums are about?

The meat on my opinion is I think Tool are garbage. Please let me know if only positive comments are allowed and I'll bear it in mind in the future.
