Word from Tony at KATT FM in Oklahoma is that Maynard has donated platinum copies of Tool’s Undertow and A Perfect Circle’s Mer De Noms to support Oklahoma’s Animal Resource Center which was affected by the recent Tornados. Both albums are signed and there’s even a couple of photo’s to certify that they are legit. According to the webpage:
Our first 2 items for auction are the personal RIAA sales plaques that once belonged to Maynard James Keenan of Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. After the May tornado’s destroyed countless homes and lives across Oklahoma, Maynard thru his trainer gave us his plaques for the specific purpose of helping in relief efforts. The following pictures below serve as genuine authentication that the actual auction items once belonging to Maynard James Keenan.
Unfortunately the auction is for continental US bidders only (no Canadians either) so if you’re overseas you made need to find alternate means to make a bid. You can make a bid here, and at the time of writing both albums are at $650. Great to see Maynard donating what seems to be a great cause.
Happy bidding!
Quit building your fucking houses where there is a “tornado season”… Those animals don’t have a choice in where they live but people do… We can’t keep feeling sorry for people that keep rebuilding only to get hit by yet another fucking tornado.

My (human) donation as of yet… $2.13 @ Taco Bell…. wanted to round up and make it an… Read more »
-Saying “And the whole “don’t live somewhere where there are tornadoes” argument is so dumb.” Is Dumb… The Katrina thing was made worse because a shit ton of people that had flood insurance avaialable to them… didn’t buy it. So they had homes below sea level knowing the levy would devestate evertyhing had it broke, and they also did not buy flood insurance… I live in California… There are wildfires and earthquakes out here all the time… I chose to purchase homeowners insurance (covers fire) and I also chose to purchase earthquake insurance… covers earthquake… Where I live it is… Read more »
@Tyson Parents are even more weird if that’s the logic… What do kids do for you as a parent? Ruin your life? Drain your bank account? Expose you to liability? Put you knee deep in shit? Become adults that continuously rebuild their homes in Oklahoma after being struck by a tornado every single year? My 110 pound german shepherd was already potty trained at 3 months old when we got him and serves greatly as a body guard and yes… a loyal companion… I like to pet him and feed him because if anyone ever breaks into my house I… Read more »
