This celebration of his array of projects would have been a sight to behold; I'm jealous that I didn't get to take in that show. I've seen Puscifer once and I was blown away by his energy. You can tell he takes a certain pride in Puscifer, his baby. That he played some old APC and even threw in some Tool seems to be a real treat to his general fan-base that showed up. How can you hate Maynard, anyway? He makes you incredible music and wine. He is a clever fuck that makes you laugh and think outside the box. He's a fuckin' rockstar! The dude's legit; he just doesn't want you to bother him on his own time.

Regarding the MOG sentiments ("Maynard 'hates' tool fans"), I think most tool fans need a healthy dose of being left in the dark and ignored (hahaha). Knowing the tool fans I do, anymore obsession would be unhealthy if left unchecked. I think Maynard will always have a soft spot for tool because he knows the music will transcend generations. He also knows that while a fraction of his fans 'get it'... a large amount of them don't. Over the years of their B.S. I'm sure he has become progressively more and more annoyed by them. Regardless, he is an amazing musician that doesn't need to act like he likes me and my fellow fans for me to appreciate his art.
I hate him because he is a pretentious dick that treats his fans like shit. He doesn't owe them anything, but he SHOULD appreciate and respect them for making him rich. He SHOULD answer questions that are reasonably and respectfully put forth. God I am glad I am not a Tool fan any longer. So many great bands and artists out there that DO respect their fanbase and go out of their way to express that. Maynard doesn't even give a shit about Tool any longer and most of you don't even realize it. Tool is money for the vineyard at this point and that's it.

Buy...buy...buy... send more money. Fuck you, buddy.

I'm not sure how you telling me what I already know will change anyone's perception of the man. You should have hated him 20 years ago.

I have disliked him for a long time but I used to respect him. I no longer respect him. Is that going to change anyone's opinion of him on this forum? Of course not. I posted an observation and my general distaste for the man. You guys came rushing to his defense. I have nothing more to say on the matter.

I'm usually in the fuck Maynard / blame Maynard / Maynard's a dick - camp.

But after Cinquanta (night 1) a lot of that animosity changed.

all hail Maynard for giving some of his biggest fans a hell of a show.

all hail Maynard for giving (one of my favorite bands) Failure a quality showcase over 3 sets in a night to show off some of their best material.

good on you mjk

I think the general populous would blame Maynard, and does, just because he's the front man; he's the only one the average person might know

I don't think the general populous gives a shit, nor do I really give a shit what their opinion on Tool is.

If "blame" is in reference to the album, how can it possibly be any more out in the open that he's the least of the holdups? I mean, that part is just settled basically.

As for him "being a dick," and this isn't directed squarely at Mog because there are a LOT of fans that feel that way... I empathize with how creepy fandom can be, and I can't even begin to fathom what it feels like to have the particular level of weird intensity directed at you like he does. Reading between the lines, it's always seemed apparent to me that he's incredibly appreciative of what "the fans" have given him and the band, he just has no interest in co-mingling and that's perfectly normal. He's not the first artist to feel or act that way, and he won't be the last. It's nothing new, and it's nothing to look down on. I don't think, anyway. I want good art/music from him, nothing more.

Saw that MJK was some background eye candy on a TMZ bit where they were talking to the scrumptious Chris Meloni about his butt. Guess the 2 of them were hanging out during MJK's most recent trip to LA.

Good for MJK for being on the TMZ.

You can't really call yourself a fair dinkum TooL fan then, can you?

But speaking specifically about Mog:

It is ridiculous for someone who regularly boasts about himself for "being a dick" to complain about how another person is a dick; especially when that person is a celebrity that he probably has never even met, let alone actually known personally.

Oh the sheer hypocrisy!

Perhaps you should start a Mog thread Children. I'm sure he would be flattered.

Yea who would've thought a thread titled "Maynard James Keenan" in a Tool fan forum would get this far.
