Without Tool, I don't know if I would have gotten into the Melvins.
Or Bill Hicks, or Mr Show...
I guess I wasn't a fan of them post Aenima, but Lateralus and 10,000 days are ok. I guess. Even The Melvins sound a little samey now a days.
I've been getting into "guilty pleasure" music recently, namely, Toto, Dio, The Outfield... shit like that.
