As I said, my reason for choosing this band is that people are so passionate about liking or disliking them. Many of the fans will get extremely defensive or mad when people don't like them and many of those who don't like them will post something similar to the above. Well that and Tool being my favorite band probably had something to do with it.

edit- Also, if the poll shows that most who like Tool use drugs you may be onto something, although I'm not out to prove anything.

edit 2 - BTW, if you don't like the band thats fine, cast your vote, discuss it, but I don't see any need to insult those who like it.

- No drugs, never will be drugs
- Like Tool a bit, not in love with them like many people here
- You can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of all people know that!

I like Tool, though they aren't even in my top 10 for prog metal, and have not used drugs.

2 votes, no correlation so far :P

Anyway I do like Tool and have used drugs.

Thanks for the reply, I thought I might be bashed for this thread... (edit- I just realized, I still may)

I realize that this warrants some explanation...

First of all, this is definitely not an attack on anyone- people who use drugs, people who don't, Tool fans, or people who don't like Tool. I am a bit curious if there is some kind of correlation, particularly since I think Tool is such a hot topic. It seems that people on both sides tend to be pretty passionate about their opinion, and that is my reason for choosing Tool.

We all know that drug experiences will change a persons life. I am just curious to see if there is some kind of correlation between using drugs and liking Tool. I may end up using the results for a psychology class eventually, BTW.

Thanks for your time to satisfy my curiosity and feel free to discuss at will.
