I have been a Tool fan since 1993. My nickname in high school was ToolGirl. I have emailed with Kabir on here in the mid 90's. 1/28/12 was my birthday and my 6th Tool concert - it was amazing. I was sad to miss the Mohegan show. They are without a doubt my favorite band. The music (vocals included) that they create resonates within me as if it is echoing something already within my soul. Despite this amazing and long time connection, being a Tool fan is complicated and counterintuitive, as song lyrics and themes (I suppose generally presented by Maynard) tell us we are lambs following the masses to be such devote fans. However, I digress...

I am completely and utterly fed up with Maynard's pretentious attitude toward humanity, fans and even his own band mates. I wonder why they would even stay at the same hotel if this is true? Also, I am not sure Maynard would have a lovely vineyard and ability to play around with side projects if it were not for the success of the band - Tool. Maybe Maynard should just Spiral Out?!
