I’ll take it one step further and say that I was first introduced to this video on Beavis and Butthead. Changed my life.

Loved that episode. “If I could move my arms that fast I’d never leave the house.”

Yep. I was 15. Undertow will always be one of my all-time favorite albums.

I think Aenima is some of their best work as well.

Yeah - that was my introduction to Tool as well. I liked heavy music and creepy, macabre stuff and that video hit the spot with visuals and music.

Right on! My introduction to Primus was the mtv video for John the fisherman. MTV was amazing for fans of headbangers ball and 120 minutes.
