Ok, hands up who thought Maynard created his own genre?

Talking of why the band haven't toured in six years he said that they didn't want to move to the stage until they had new material in order to avoid becoming, musically stagnant.

"As an artist you don't want to become a greatest hits version of yourself, either," he said. "You want to push the boundaries. You want to figure out how can you challenge yourself to discover something new, discover something different about yourself. What are your limitations? What avenues can you push and expand? That is life. I don't have any interest in coasting yet."

He doesn't want Tool to become "musically stagnant""?!?!?! They've been touring the SAME freakin' album for the past seven and a half years!!!!!! And playing more or less the same setlist!!

Talk about a "greatest hits version" of one's own self.

Oh Maynard...you kidder!! See you next November....

Um, what? That's not how that interview went. Either you read it on another site or you edited somehow. This is from the recent mini interview on Rolling Stone, his response is correct but that wasn't the question.

"Haven't toured in 6 years". What? The question was about a lack of new album.

Ten things you may not know about Maynard James Keenan:

10. As a child he learnt the accordion

9. He was born in a row boat just off the coast of Newfoundland

8. He dislikes butternut squash, bathing in salt water and has an aversion to waiting room décor.

7. His favourite bands are Strawberry Alarm Clock, Buffalo Springfield and The Kids Of Widney High

6. He counts Aretha Franklin, Ralph Nader and fitness guru Richard Simmons as close personal friends. Donnie Wahlberg was best man at his wedding.

5. In 1998 he purchased what he believed were the skeletal bones of John Merrick (aka The Elephant Man) from the manager of a travelling carny for an alleged sum of $1.7 mil. - only to later find out it was in fact the remains of a Leatherback Sea Turtle that had caught in a net and drowned.

4. He has a pet chimp named Bobbles.

3. He has three felony convictions: one for breaking and entering, one for unlawful assault and another for barking like a dog during a flight from L.A to Singapore.

2. He once shared an elevator with Axl Rose.

1. He is listed in the Guinness Book Of World Records as holding the record for most photographs taken without ever smiling.

What a weird and wacky life this guy leads.

That's more than 10

Hell, this is inter-changeable.

Tool is fun for him now. But his passion is wine. The music is a break from that.. Hence why puscifer is so fucking weird lol. He does tool when it's time. At least that's what I get from interviews. But to quote the man himself. "All you know about him is what he's told ya... Dumb fuck" lol

So you feel that Tyson has done absolutely nothing to provoke him? I don't share that opinion.

Anyway, I doubt I will be banning anyone.

I honestly don't feel I did anything to provoke him, I mean he's been calling me a douchebag and a fag, I haven't insulted him once.

Logic rules.

Truth over rules logic lol.. Whatever just drop it lol

lol

Not really worth over analysing - it's nothing more a message to both of you that there is no benefit in conversing with each other if you can't do so on a civilised manner. It applies to both of you, because quite frankly it's hard to have an argument by yourself.
