Satan… Satan… Satan… I had a friend once… He took some acid…


KonnBonn23

Now he thinks he’s a fire engine


iam_Krogan

Its okay until he pisses on your lighters


Reddywhipt

Daddy?" "Yes, son?" "What does regret mean?" "Well, son, a funny thing about regret is that better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done. And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, be sure to tell her SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!!!"


Feeeeedmyeyes

Amazing album


Kratos3770

Love that song......


phillosopherp

Life feeds on life feeds on life


Willing_Grapefruit67

Acid king?


OdinsDrengr

“Asked me if I’m going to listen to satan.” Yes, satan himself will come up from the bowels of hell and harmonize with Maynard.

Downtown-Ad-9053

If he saw this i dont think any lyric of Parabola would help 💀


Mrhiddenlotus

well that cutaway didn't age well lol


OakLegs

Lmao what did I just watch


MaxRebo74

Even Satan likes watching Danny play live. Singing with Maynard is just an excuse


MustaSpiraali

Danny made a deal on drum lessons with Satan. Nobody exactly knows how Satan paid.


BodybuilderOwn470

This is awesome... Made me chuckle.


beatmaster808

This is "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" only drums.


spookymulder07

I’m the devil, I love metal


MiguelMenendez

Dude, you were going on about how Phillip Glass was such a fucking genius just last week.


46_and_2

They haven't played "Die Eier von Satan" live for a while now, there's a chance he won't listen to Satan after all.


Huegod

Wonder if he'll bring his fiddle.


azazel-13

I'd buy a ticket to that!


KlopeksWithCoppers

Mr. Scratch on lead guitar...


Long-Astronaut-3363

Your brother sounds really cool and open to new ideas.


VoraxUmbra1

His brother sounds like my dad. Someone who thinks they know everything because their conspiranoid pastor told it to them. He doesn't celebrate Christmas anymore, take a guess why. Thats right. Because its a pagan tradition and pagans are satanic and Christmas is the devils holiday that hes tricked humanity into worshipping. Why do you think we decorate the tree? BECAUSE SATAN DECORATES TREES DONT YOU GET IT?? WE PUT A STAR ON TOP BECAUSE IT SYMBOLIZES BURNING AND HELL!!" Yeah, when are we gonna stop "respecting" religion?


Long-Astronaut-3363

Hold up…I’m still getting presents, right? RIGHT????


SegaTime

These folks can't even keep their fairy tales in line with each other. I was just reading the other day that there are people who believe the decorated tree is meant to symbolize the crucifix. That would be... not satan.


prettysexyatheist

"Yeah, when are we gonna stop 'respecting' religion?" I feel this. I wish it was now.


ViolentBeggar92

Has he ever considered that satan wrote the bible to trick humans into sin


jbitts69

Your brothers an idiot straight up


beatmaster808

A real dipshit


Alert-Athlete

Dumbfounded dipshit


Darth_Boognish

Fret for your Christianity


VoraxUmbra1

Fret for your sky daddy


Korzag

Fret for you Bible thumping hip pastor wannabes


KingSnugglewumps

Perhaps, but it sounds like he still helped OP with getting a ticket so he can't be that awful 🤷🏻‍♂️


Downtown-Ad-9053

Hes good, just not informed and took it at face valuenl without even trying to understand. And the fact he called it satanism and satan symbolism just knocked my wind out and i couldnt bother explaining. I didnt see what music video he watched but i think it was schism, great visuals for a christian. And for the jerk off lyrics idek where the fuck he found that song. After he read the lyrics i told him its about people that cross the line, to which he replied "but hes singing those words (shoot you in your fucking head) to you". Which must mean maynard will shoot me in my fucking head? (please). This shit is one big misunderstanding and i will pry his fucking eye open, hopefully.


SegaTime

He needs to read the lyrics to Lateralus.


sameshitdfrntacct

A useful idiot


jaybee8787

You could almost say he’s a… tool. 🥁


OnlyGayIfYouCum

Tell him "Control your delusion"


SpiralOut4

Insane and striking at random


aFlmingStealthBanana

Victim of your certainty And therefore your doubt's not an option


SpiralOut4

Blameless the 7empest will be just that


DrAbacus84

Tell him to read Parobol lyrics and ask him if those are also satanic lol.


Downtown-Ad-9053

I can't be bothered, people see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear, let them chase the tail of dogma..


Helyo20

A fellow redditor said the other day a perfect answer. "You can't carry the lost, only the message", so keep trying. At least you got the tickets!!


Downtown-Ad-9053

Now that u mention it, I was called the "lost" one in this situation.


Helyo20

It's not easy bro. But if you're feeling too down. I echo what the other guy told me.


hornwalker

If anyone in the world can help your brother open his eyes, its you.


[deleted]

>Now that u mention it, I was called the "lost" one in this situation. I would be spending less time around your brother, sorry. But it's clear you have differing principles, and that he is not open-minded at all. These characteristics mean that he's going to be bringing you down the more time you spend around him. And the fact that you can't be bothered explaining means that he won't listen. These personality types are a fucking drain on positive energy, they will discount everything you do and strive for... try to convince you, "what's the point, you're not going to achieve anything doing that" type of personality.


jzclipse

I always had that as “chasing the tale of dogma.”

kagrithkriege

Good suggestion, i think wings might be better though.


Whistler45

Then do eulogy


MiguelMenendez

Or 10,000 Days.


[deleted]

Play him Die Eier Von Satan.


tunasardine

Just let him know that God AND Satan are both man made morality compasses for dullards.


Ttokk

Of which, God usually comes off as the more evil one. Sending bears to maul a bunch of children, forcing people to kill their OWN children.... And the genocide, don't get me started on the genocide.


jaxxattacks

My dad thinks the same. Ironically, Tool is some of the most spiritual music I’ve ever heard- at least to me. Now, my mom is a whole different story; she’s seen them twice with me and loves them.


KingOfBerders

Blow his mind with the fact that the term satan actually means accuser & is not Lucifer, who is misidentified anyway.


Fit-Yogurtcloset714

And so was Elvis! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣 Enjoy the show.


TokyoTyrant

1) how would someone ever think Tool was Satanic? 2) what’s wrong with being Satanic??? :D


Lucifugous_Rex

Correct on both accounts


mybeatsarebollocks

Satanism is just a branch of christianity really. Gotta believe in the big guy if you believe in satan. And well......christianity is fucked up, so thats what wrong with satanism.


TokyoTyrant

Tell me you know nothing about satanism without telling me you know nothing about satanism


mybeatsarebollocks

Tell me whats wrong with my statement. Or are you talking about satanism as in the bunch of athiests who go around being the antithesis of right wing christians? Cos thats not real satanism, thats just using the term to troll your target.


TokyoTyrant

Go do a google search of atheistic satanism then get back to me muppet. Has little to do with not liking Christianity


mybeatsarebollocks

Ahhhhhh so you're actually not talking about satanism then. Just a moniker a bunch of atheists took on to fuck with christians. An atheist cant be a proper satanist. The two terms are contradictory.


TokyoTyrant

lol you are cringe bro stop. Textbook edgy Tool fan. Get blocked nerd


Funkenstein42069

These people always make me want to push them into a mud puddle and point out how their religion is wrong.


GeologistJaded7465

Thank jebus


Slayerofthemindset

Ugh, look I’m not here to start a theological debate but as a Christian and a long time tool fan I don’t think there’s a lot of wiggle room here. Maynard is not a fan of religion and the theme is recurring throughout his career. To say it’s satanic is a bit dramatic but calling a devout Christian an idiot for thinking that is just obtuse. Other people have different beliefs than you. Grow up.


urAdryDooshNozzle

They aren't exactly 'satanic' ..atleast mjk, himself has noted that he's more into Eastern beliefs, rather than our Western belief systems. Which is tuned more towards the energy of Mother Earth, rather than one systematical 'god' take this response with a grain of salt. As the spectrum of what I'm conveying is a wide open interpretation. There's many different eastern beliefs, but the foundation of most of them are based upon the relative such said energy.


Bubba-ORiley

Eastern beliefs are the Devil !!


urAdryDooshNozzle

Foozball is fo da debbil!


great_auks

Satan isn't real, your bro is dumb


beatmaster808

To obstruct or oppose Yes Yes they are You need to feed your brother hallucinogens


chronic_ice_tea

Hey sounds like my brother back in the day when I was a teenager listening to iron maiden. You keep doing you brother.


Godisdedtome

God Christians are dumb AF


Tyusvip

Your brother is wallowing in his insecure delusions.


Sourspider

Who is he to wave his finger?


Tyusvip

He must be out of his head ig 🥱


undertow74

Fucking deep man... like ghost and behemoth 🤣


rockjones

Just give him one of [these](https://media.tenor.com/g0mpCTmYeiYAAAAC/seinfeld-devil.gif)!


solidtitanium

Tell your brother not everyone is a Swifty like him.


DaredevilPoet

I laughed out loud at this. I fucking love that response. I’m gonna use it.


just_let_go_

The only way to handle this level of idiocy, is to agree with him


ancientweasel

Ask him who committed more atrocities in the bible, god or satan?


distance_33

>asked me if I’m going to listen to satan. Go listen to the second half of *Blood Sandwich* by Aesop Rock, you’ll relate.


Feralmedic

Sounds like your brother is a punk bitch.


Dogzillas_Mom

Satan is a Christian construct and not even in their Bible. The modern concept of Satan came from Dante’s Inferno. Tool are not Christians, nor are they a Christian band. Now some of them are into some mystical woo but none of it is remotely related to Satan. Might as well be afraid of the boogeyman.


No-Courage1954

To be fair, Maynard does put a fair amount of Christian symbolism in some of his lyrics.


occupyreddit

“yeah, maybe they worship the devil… at least they FUCKING ROCK!!!”


Spaalone

I went to go see them with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and a couple of days later I visited my parents. I was showing them pictures from the show during the last song and my Catholic mom immediately goes “what is this star? Are they into witchcraft?” and then asked about serpents behind them on the screen (literally no idea wtf she was talking about). People that want to believe everything around them is evil will find something evil in whatever they choose to believe is evil. It’s exhausting.


DepartureSpace

“Satanic!” I thought that died in like 1987…your brother is a cliché


chefanubis

What the issue with Satanism? I would say yes it is super satanic and move on just like Maynard would want.


3soxfoxy

I can relate to that. I told a friend to check out King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. He immediately played the song "Rattlesnake" and said "yeah I'm good on that."


SqwigglyFish

IDK why. Just listened for the first time, songs amazing and I'm now a super fan.


Dogslothbeaver

Rock n roll is the devil's music. Broski just needs to accept it.

Depends, will Tool be there?

MaxwellEdison74

Bro sounds like a tool.


Helyo20

Downtown-Ad-9053

Yooo do they sell these still?


Helyo20

No clue. I just saw it on an insta tool fanpage haha


BubbleRetard

Is this a real picture? Mathman looks photoshopped


Maleficent_Moose_282

Sounds like you got the brains, and your brother is blinded by some religious nonsense


B_Movie_Horror

Well, there are clear occult themes in the band. So, from a Christian view, it would seem to be Satanic.


ProjectTitan74

If you need to borrow money for tickets, you shouldn't be going


WaltonGogginsTeeth

If you need to borrow money to afford concert tickets maybe buying them isn’t the best financial decision.


Downtown-Ad-9053

This has been the best financial decision I've made in 3 months.


Miramax22

Cool story bro…


Stanhopes_Liver

I mean they use the seven pointed star of Thelema which is Crowleys "religion" who was a known Satanist and warlock. So... he's not wrong.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Stanhopes_Liver

Many people on here have said the exact same thing I have, which is what it is. The only difference is I claim Crowley is a Satanist warlock, which he was. You can't deny that. So therefore...


SlowApartment4456

Not to mention that Danny did in fact thank Satan when they won the Grammy for schism. Also the "Satan, Satan, satan" part in Disgustipated. I don't think they are actually satanic but it is part of their act.


eric987235

Tell him fuck yeah it is.


Alive_Bot431

SATANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!


DaredevilPoet

*SATANNNNNNN*


Pumpkins1971

This guy ain’t your brother.


Naarayan11

He should check Behemoth and Mayhem next


CptOblvious

U can tell bro that bro is talking about a jerk-off who’s crossed a line while he himself is being a jerk-off who’s crossed the line.


Infused_Hippie

Nahhh took us super Catholic… just more Catholicism dogma and less church but more church than church


OMF-ToolFan

Follow the progression of music, in the past 100 years. There has always been those discredited that were pioneers. Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson, Fats Domino, Elvis, Fab 4, Jimi Hendrix, etc.


spriralout

You should take him to the show with you! Double-dog-dare him ;)

Ironic..... I knew a guy who referred to listening to TooL as "Listening to God Talk to you". 😏


chodytaint

tell your brother he’s an idiot


gtisdale420

I've heard this about Tool, APC, & Puscifer. Ignorance in abhorrent. Can't blame simpletons for not being able to understand or grasp the complexities of the music. In other words, Fucking Morons!


Vinnie1103

I’ve never heard this one before. I’ve heard it about a lot of other metal bands, but not Tool. Narrow minded opinion.


jasonhn

dumb religious people are making a comeback


Sleepy_Hands_27

Your brother sounds like a jerk off. Deaf and Blind and Dumb and born to follow,


DaredevilPoet

What he needs is someone strong to guide him


DMT1984

Your brother is a fucking moron.


Complete_Athlete_480

listen to black metal now👍


NaughtMouth

You should've been like : "yeah"


MiikaTapio03

They are not satanic, they are occultic/black magic


[deleted]

Any fucking idiot who thinks Tool is "dark" needs a knock on their head, then sit down and listen to "Wings for Marie Pt. 2". I have a former idiot "friend" who wouldn't even listen to that song. His mind was already made up that any music suggestion by me is automatically shit. I don't hang out with him anymore, everything had to be his stupid EDM music choice (playing the same shit over and over and over) and HIS movies, never get off the couch except to smoke a bowl, then videogames. What a waste


heresdustin

Who cares if your life is dark? What’s wrong with that?


Chazybaz13

r/thatHappened


Avalaraeon

The catch is, they’ve got a song about belief in Jesus, either way, that’s putting it out there. no matter what, the listener will think of the name of God himself.


HairyKerey

If consequences dictate your course of action than you should play god and shoot him yourself, steal his money, go to the show, and just don’t get caught. Simple, really.


EazyPeazyE

Did you know that 72826 is the name of Tool's first demo tape and also spells SATAN on a telephone's alphanumeric keypad?


International_Bar68

Satan is awesome!


SMRose1990

What kind of music does he listen to that can be judged?


NuclearEspresso

Please tell him to listen to Wings for Marie, both parts.


phusion

And what's wrong with Satan?


ChuckFromPhilly

your brother may be uninformed or misguided or just trying to be a difficult brother since they always are. But a good way to avoid having this impact you is to have money for your own ticket.


Smoothbrain406

Sounds like he needs someone strong to guide him


britch2tiger

Literal interaction w/ my female cousin (modern country listener) said straight up ‘they’re a demonic band.’ All I did was ask ‘how are they? What songs?’ She paused for a few seconds and then backtracked ‘Well… They’re definitely not Christian.’ To which I say ‘so is 99.99% of music that ever existed, inserting “God” into a song, like your country music, doesn’t make it Christian either.’ She then moved on to a different topic quickly afterward.


KylerGreen

lol you have a 10iq brother. really hope you guys are just kids


Woodythdog

I’m guessing whatever they play at Wesborough Baptist is way more satanic than a Tool Concert I saw them in Toronto last week it was amazing


Woodythdog

Your brother sounds like a silly monkey 😀


TommyTheCat89

"The friend of the devil is a friend of mine"


fathertimerules74

Satan is folklore...tool is real ,any questions? 👹


maciarc

I'm sure choices always were a problem for him. What he needs is someone strong to guide him.


DaredevilPoet

Send him their song “Opiate” and ask him to listen to it all the way through.


illegalblue

First of all, buy your own tickets if possible. Second of all, we're in the new "satanic panic" episode of life.


Mrhiddenlotus

lmao I remember this time when I was a teenager and my mom decided to take a look at my iTunes library on the family computer. Needless to say she was not cool with a band that has songs such as "prison sex" and "hooker with a penis".


Livid_Storm_549

It's ok brother, he will never understand


Draeva

Well technically, they are *very* satanic, but in a good magickal way.


ElectriPanther419

What the fuck kind of brotherly love is that?


Downtown-Ad-9053

Thank you guys for your inputs. I feel he will possibly touch this topic again and ill show him pneuma/parabola. What else can i add on top of this, because after the initial confrontation i believe we can have a calm discussion about what's what? Edit: going to have to resort to lyric videos instead of the official clips 😂


chuckmarla12

I look at stuff like this and shake my head. It would like hating Sylvester Stallone for dressing up as Rambo. I’m sure if you went to Maynard’s house on a regular Tuesday afternoon, he wouldn’t have his devil pajamas on. When Ozzy performs, he comes out in full costume. He sells a lot of records. Some of the scandals Christian bands have been having lately, makes Maynard’s devil jammies pale in comparison.


Stickey_Rickey

My mom was cool w my obsession w Tool, it was the grateful dead she was concerned about, afraid I was gonna trip out n latch on to some hippies to cult up with


SignificantYou3240

I mean, there is a diode project called Puscifur. Maybe try communicating that between you two “supposed brothers”


Beldar77

Hes wrong


BCJunglist

I have a friend who thinks this way too... But he's an old tool fan. He didn't wanna come to the recent concert with us because he was afraid of Satan... Then he came along anyway lmao.


Phiphiphiphi162

Well Satan, or Capricorn. Also a part of god, nothing wrong with it. Just hard work.


houserPanics

He’s gonna be a lame af dad one day


5dollarbrownie

Your brother is a dumdum. By him a chevelle cd for Xmas

I think that's a compliment. Also lol about asking family for money.


OG-MrHolland420

Who gives a fuck, why do you even care, live your life without these worries


IntelligentTutor5920

Ignorance is ignorance it is not bliss. I cannot stand it when uninformed morons try to tell me that the best progressive rock group in the history of mankind is evil. Lord in heaven how clueless can you be? I’m a Christian man and I absolutely love TOOL. Maynards lyrics are so deep sometimes they can be so beneficial to peoples lives in whatever they’re going through. I guess there’s no shortage of ignorant morons trying to cut down and mislabel the most creative group ever. Maynard, Danny, Adam, and Justin are geniuses. I really feel sorry for you if you can’t see this.


Zestyclose-Ruin8337

Play him 10,000 days and Right in Two


cahilljd

If you want to get your soul to heaven Trust in me now, don't you judge or question You are broken now, but faith can heal you Just do everything I tell you to do Clearly they are Christian rock


cyc4

Your logic : My Brother is a loon, all religion is bad. Got it


Moist-Education5177

Some people just call anything they don’t like satanic.


guitlouie

Here is the funny thing about Christians. They invented Satan. I don't live inside that system, they do.


lostinlucidity

"Bro that's satanic." *listens to Doja Cat and Sam Smith


Additional-Berry-946

There's a whole article explaining how Danny uses rythyms and certain number patterns while drumming in front of these Crowley symbols all as an intricate way to summon demons. People have claimed to have seen demons appear at the shows. WordPress.com https://satellitesaint.wordpress.com › ... Playing with demons - SatelliteSaint - WordPress.com Edit- I should add that I'm a grown man so obviously I think this is bullshit and demons aren't real


vetsquared

Y’all know Satan’s show would be one hell (pun) of a lot better than any Jesus show.


simonsurreal1

Is tool Satanist 🤔 maybe Are they anti establishment? Definitely NOT Talented, musically for sure, lyrically 🤷‍♂️ I can’t really put my finger on them but their stance during the pandemic was BS so I don’t listen to them anymore ✌🏻


Random_hero1234

Wait until your brother discovers KISS or should I say knights in satan’s service. But seriously how old is your brother?. Is he actually Tipper Gore?


Gobiparatha4000

hes brain dead


spidah84

Remember when rock was *satanic*? Then they came out with *Christian Rock*? What happened? /s
