[@semuta2752]

The TOOL vs Megadeth battle is a tough one, and I do completely agree with the result. But, I am thoroughly disappointed that Megadeth meatridership didn’t have the second-hand bitterness relating to Metallica/Dave history. Megadeth meatriders include a large population of proto-stans a la “Selena Gomez vs Hailey Bieber”- which I do think should have been a factor.

I’ve gone out of my way, wearing Tool t-shirts, talking to old guys with ponytails, trying to catch these Tool fans embodying the meme, but they usually just end up talking about how they appreciate the humor mixed the philosophy, personal criticisms, the good music etc. And then they’ll start talking about other bands or their own art.

Megadeth memes (ironic or not) are also especially good; Mustaine wrote Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets, and presumably Beethoven's 5th, and probably the score to Star Wars as well. Megadeth meatriding combines cult of personality with the worship of poorly defined technicality.
