      I'll see your Muse, and raise you Tool (or Perfect Circle)

        Only nerds like Tool (and/or APC).

        Which is why they should appeal to the nerdary and put it in the damn game.

        Also, does anyone feel like they're getting tired of Red Hot Chili Peppers?

        Every song seems to have 'California' as a lyric and/or sung about California. I get it's the best state, (besides my darling Minnesota), but man, I can't handle their love for said state.
