Nailed it. The documentary Global Metal has a detailed section on VK and how their fans can’t even name other famous metal acts – it is definitely its own thing…

Boris has been around for awhile. They frequently change their sound from album to album, sometimes also during the course of the album. This one song sounds like no other from their very large discography so to say that they are trying to be like Tool is a very fail comparisonl. Don’t judge a band on the basis of one song.

Hehe, to be saying Wapanese means you have some knowledge of the Japanese sub-culture in America. Well, anyway, there are quite a number of good VK bands out there. Try listening to more than one of two songs from one band before judging.

But besides that interesting case of culture profiling, yeah, you’re right. It’s a parody of VK bands. But…no real VK bands actually look like that anymore. At all. If anything it might be a parody of X JAPAN.

It’s just a parody of shitty Visual Kei bands that Wapanese kids in the US love so much.

Now thats glam…eh, still better than 99% of whats in the top 200 on the american billboard charts. America cant exactly point fingers music wise with the horseshit we pump out and shove down everybodies throats

That was a 5 and a half minute intro to a song that never happened. Absolute load of shit. If I wanna listen to Japanese bands I’ll stick Mad Capsules, Dir En Grey or Maximum the Hormone on.

Dude. How is it off the mark? Tool has trippy noises, and vocal distortion effects. They pretty much defined that noise.

You can tell they”re the kind of band that think they’re progressive or cool or interesting to sound like that.

And it wasn’t really a comparison. I didn’t say they SOUND like tool. I’m saying they FAILING at trying to sound like Tool.

Whoa, you’re agreeing with me? Now I’m wondering if you’re fucking with me. I don’t know about trying to be like Tool, but they’re definitely not something that interests me.

That sounded like shitty rock/techno from the early 90’s. Not really industrial, not really rock, not really good.

Boris wants to be like Tool? What the fuck are you smoking?

That comparison is so half-assed and off the mark that I had to read it twice to make sure you were saying what you were saying

I second that motion. Boris is fail. You can tell they want to be like tool, what with the dissonant noises and weird vocal effects.

Thumbs up grover, you nailed my feelings exactly.
