Want to hob nob with Maynard in a fancy Beverly Hills restaurant while enjoying some fine food paired expertly with his wine? Scarpetta in Beverly Hills are offering you that opportunity on Saturday the 23rd of March for the low, low price of $200 per head:
Sadly Die Eier Von Satan didn’t make the menu, but I’m sure it will be a great night – just don’t ask Maynard about Tool!

Maybe he is just scared of the troll that hides down at the front of the stage?
You mean Adam?
Lol I was waiting for someone to say mog or something but yeah adam will do!
I think he said during a podcast that he suffers from epilepsy. Not sure how true that is though. Have you ever heard that?
Just because he “dances” like an epileptic doesn’t mean he is an epileptic.
Google came up with nothing.
HAHAHAHA!!!
Wow – this site has turned into a huge waste of time, HB! I’m not sure when I last read some interesting news or tidbit from any of these whiny self-entitled arrogant pricks. These few arrogant bastards seem to think we all prefer their constant bad breath over no breath at all. Do us all a favor and go fuck yourselves in the ear before you come back here to spew more of your negativity. No wonder MJK hates talking about Tool, cause the fact is about 75% of the fan base consists of high as a kite douche bags who really can’t think for themselves.
At least the site is still great from a latest news standpoint, so thanks as always for that.
…it sure has been a drag lately
Indeed. You dont half get some head up their own arse whingeing cunts on here…
And id guess maynard doesnt like talking about tool cos there is nothing to talk about!! No news still writing!
“Harry Manback”, or whatever his name is (you know, the blue dude) got a new account.
Banhammer, imho.
That was Hooker With A Penis.
Ah. Absolute apologies are in order, then.
Sorry, dude.
Dear Whomever Reads,
If you lump TOOL into grunge when referencing Opiate and are comparing it to other albums released around the same time, I guess you might be able to think that it’s possible for Bleach to be better than Opiate.
However, TOOL has never been anything like grunge and Opiate is basically TOOL’s demo so you’re comparing a full length grunge album to a TOOL EP and… you make no fucking sense at all. Nirvana was great but cannot be compared with TOOL.
Much Love,
Zwerewolf
Adam just posted a pic of himself on Instagram signing Opiate shtuff…
Spin it however you fancy… Bleach is still a better release… Tool is still a better band
So, did anyone go to this?
exactly. this is about his wine business. you gotta get out there among the people and shit.
you can’t comprehend people with money spending it on something they feel they will enjoy?
everyone is different. this planet has a variety of things to offer and as many different types of people. you aren’t someone that can enjoy this particular event.
life will go on, and we’ll all keep breathing in spite of this dinner. it’s amazing.
The image of him doing it at a brunch would be funny. I still don’t understand why he’s always in the back. I know Morrison had social anxiety so he used to keep his eyes closed for the first few songs when he performed with the Doors, or actually turn his back. He wasn’t trying to be weird or artsy he just couldn’t deal with the thought. Maynard for some reason makes a conscious decision to stay in the back or in the dark. One thing he definitely hates is the strobes, flash bulbs and smoke. I remember that old show they did, pre-Undertow, in that ratty small bar shot on VHS where he wouldn’t come out from behind a pole until the spot light on him was turned off. What a freak!!
Love this band. Can’t wait for new material. Still super psyched, even after more than 20 years. I still remember my older cousin Stephanie taking the Nirvana “Bleach” tape out of my hand and putting “Opiate” in it like it was yesterday. I clearly remember thinking, wow this lead singer’s vocals were even more violent than Kurt when he let loose those screams. Then the drum and bass break change towards the end of “Sweat” blew my mind. My initial reaction was that the breakdown was weird/odd/unique but very hard and fast, like Primus on steroids. They had me.
I thought it was more about the lasers or camera flashes that he’s trying to avoid by being farther back.
and yes, because of the nature of monitors, guitar amps, bass, ect. position of where you’re standing can make a huge difference.
The crowds cameras and laser pointers…not the band, crow.
Tool is an experience and that includes lights. I saw them before all that, and yes, it still kicked ass.
Totally different albums.
Its a-okay to enjoy both without categorizing value against each other. Try it, sometime.
Oh google had nothing, oh well that’s ok then, google doesn’t know what i had for breakfast yesterday so i guess i didn’t have any breakfast. You’re really showing your stupidity there.
Listen you need to take Maynard off the pedestal you have him on. I know you have him there because you don’t treat him like a human being, you treat him as some other thing altogether that you hold to impossible standards. If he asks for no flash photography, that should be enough. You should respect your fellow human beings enough to extend that basic, dignified courtesy. The fact that he has some form of epilepsy only adds to the fact. But that shouldn’t enter into it. As a human being asking you to not use flash photography, that should be enough.
Bleach is better than opiate. Hands down.
One is an album, the other an EP.
You guys are sharp.
