I prefer Del the Funky Homosapien as well. Later Mr. Bungle stuff and earlier Incubus stuff is great too. for an example, take these Del the Funky Homosapien lyrics You betta' wash yo hands, if you must you gotta brush yo teeth, if you must you gotta wipe yo ass, if you must or else you'll be FUNKY! or these Mr. Bungle lyrics They're shining searchlights in the sky cause there's a new god in the signs it says the map is not the terrier work then I broke my telescope but that's the nature of the game, and you have to play or these Incubus lyrics What if your brain, unexpectedly, and then suddenly picked up thing to flip around and view a lot differently What if blue skies, all of a sudden turned a purple hue, we could shit a brick the size of all of it (what if) What if I was just dreaming? What if I lived in a pear? What if my watch read 4:20 every hour everyday, YOU COULD BET YOUR DOLLAR I'D BE HAPPY I forgot to remember I forgot to remember my pain forgot to inject my cocaine forgot to apply my rogaine...
I'm not going to debate whether or not Maynard is the best lyricist of all time, but I certainly believe he's one of them. Nothing blew me away more than when I learned that the syllables of the lyrics of "Lateralus" match up to a Fibonacci sequence. That's really hard to do, to say the least. The excellence of his lyrics for APC further supports his status as one of today's preeminent lyricists.
He's sure good.. Chris cornell is.. so, is Mark Lanegan.. so dark.. If you are into theories lyrics, ya might be needing to check this Band : Grand Magus.. all their lyrics are about Magic and stuff.. weird. www.grandmagus.com
Tool= Undisputed Gods of Stoner Rock. and yes, there are very few bands who can write better lyrics than them
yeah. i have heard of it. You are correct. The cult of stoner rock is a polytheistic religon, so we can have a plethora of gods, Ozzy being Zeus.
