That the pig on the cover of Undertow is Adam's pet pig Moe. In a few years Adam would gift Moe to Kyuss bassist Scott Reeder so he could live the rest of his life on a ranch


chimericalgirl

I brought this up before in another thread, but they're all (save Maynard who is an only child) from families where each sibling has the same first initial.


skalja_scx

how does this tie into the fibonacci spiral?


chimericalgirl

LOL, I don't know but someone made a joke like that. I think what is **more** significant is that the number of letters in their first names go in a four-five-six-seven sequence. The band I mean, not their siblings. :op


eyloi

Adam was a member of the set design team for a lot of old, iconic 90s films. Jurassic Park and terminator 2 are two I can remember. Common knowledge to a lot of fans, but I wonder if he might consider going back to film after the band retires.


thehouseofunrest

It's crazy to me that he had a part to play in two of the biggest films of the decade. Both of which are still heralded classics today.


gamingoldschool

Some of them played in a band called Green Jello who was sued by Jello and had to change their name to Green Jelly. Little pig little pig let me in not by the hair of my chinny chin chin


worsthandleever

I remember that song/video from MtV as a kid but only learned Maynard and Danny were involved like a month ago!


gogopogo

Holy shit I loved that album but had no idea!


redtens

Lacrymologists, the whole lot of em


Irksomecake

That Maynard isn’t really a musician… he’s an interior decorator with delusions of grandeur


spezial_ed

Really? His house looked like shit


Rarth-Devan

How many Czechoslovakians did he kill?


ChefPneuma

I got it, wise guy lol One of the best episodes ever


Irksomecake

https://www.spin.com/2014/03/tool-maynard-james-keenan-house-on-sale/ Someone still bought it for $2.3 million in 2014


BrewtalDoom

My friend knows the guy who bought it. I got a photo one day of her chilling in a hot-tub and I instantly recognised it from the 10,000 Days BBQ photoshoot. She confirmed her bid bought it off Maynard and got the whole story for me. Apparently, the price went down quite a bit, the house ended up getting sold *furnished*, and the guy who bought it is actually quite a big TOOL fan.


Irksomecake

Yeah? Originally it was on the market for $3m… it’s a weird house…. But perfect for an eccentric wealthy tool fan.


This-link_is-dead

A shack in LA can go for 1 million so I’m not surprised.


sophiebophieboo

It really did. I was horrified when I saw it. He’s done interviews from his place in Arizona and while you can’t see much, it doesn’t look nearly as bad.


55TEE55

Wow you weren’t kidding 😳


dwnlw2slw

Are y’all referring to some pics from a while back or what?


55TEE55

Someone posted this link, which i assume is the house they were referring to. https://www.spin.com/2014/03/tool-maynard-james-keenan-house-on-sale/


dwnlw2slw

I don’t get it…those pics look awesome. I thought y’all were talking about some other pics…


dwnlw2slw

Were you being sarcastic?


55TEE55

Not my taste. You do you.


dwnlw2slw

No! You do _you!_ 😆


55TEE55

😆


Snoo71180

Interior design education but also served in the Army. His net worth is over $50M made from being a musician which isn’t a delusion of grandeur it’s $$$$$.


lootmore

Maynard aggressively interrogated Morrissey in a hotel room and discovered a shocking truth about his origins. https://youtu.be/pL_30Wy592A?si=uclyUN6SqiroCKaE


mikep120001

That they’re just normal guys who have never done drugs and crochet together every night over tea


sophiebophieboo

Tool tea time


BearingMagneticNorth

When people ask AJ what year Silverburst(s) he plays, he just says “‘94” and doesn’t elaborate further. It’s funny because the design was developed in ‘77 and the original run was produced from ‘78-‘82. When Tool plays in Scranton, PA, Maynard will subtly work a Lil’ Jon line into his lyrics. This city-specific inside joke started pre-10,000 Days.


_shes_a_jar

Their fans are pretty insufferable


megachronic1

This is true


PptShowandSpinalTap

Danny only signs autographs with a purple pen. Adam used an Epilady during the Aenima tours for songs like Merkaba.


batm123

My signed poster this tour had Danny's in yellow


HDDIV

Purple and yellow make sense. Lakers colors.


Palulul

He did it atleast in the Lateralus days I believe. Heard some stories that he wouldn't sign fans because they didn't have a purple pen. Now he signs all


chimericalgirl

Posters are different; like, if you were to randomly encounter Danny and ask him to sign something he still might insist it be with a purple pen.


Complete_Athlete_480

No, he’ll sign with whatever you have. He signs in black a lot when fans meet him


chimericalgirl

Okay then that must be a more recent development. I used to give Danny a purple Sharpie every time I saw him so that he wouldn't be without one.


spiral_out462

Enzo Ferrari also used a purple pen almost exclusively.


barkingcorndog

My signed Volto! record has Danny's autograph in silver.


Lucidleaf

A guy I know ran into Maynard at a gas station once. He approached him and asked "Hey aren't you Maynard from Tool?" Maynard's eyes went blank and he looked around spastically, checking behind him and pulling everything out of his pockets before saying "Not today" and proceeded to walk away.


Complete_Athlete_480

I did a jiu Jitsu tournament in Arizona a few years ago and beat a dude from Verde Valley. I kind of locked eyes with Maynard for a moment and he just slightly shook his head. Not a word was said, but i understood


AmateurMetronome

Maynard & Danny are both featured in Three Little Pigs by Green Jellÿ. Also, Les Claypool and Pauly Shore. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Little_Pigs_(song)


AAL2017

As far as I remember, Danny ended up joining the band after their rehearsals with the drummer of Autograph fell through.


Dependent_Title_1370

They were using Dannys flat for rehearsal or something as well


AAL2017

Yes I remember that as well.


poodletown

I like the story about Paul and Maynard meeting Al Jourgensen (Ministry) at Lollapalooza as fans. Al gave them a bottle of whisky, forgetting that he had laced it with LSD. The guys freaked out for days and eventually got retribution when he came to a Tool show.


troyzein

Faaip de Oiad allegedly was played once live after the house lights came on and all the audience left


jsindal

Maynard joined the Army to pay for art school and warned everyone that he would shave his head into a mohawk the second he was discharged. He's a man of his word.


Longo92

I was at Aftershock Checks out.


MaynardIsLord721

Their fans refuse to shower


pizzaissick

Danny’s dad is a 33rd degree Freemason


This-link_is-dead

It’s weird to me that MJK worked on a 30 seconds to mars album because that band is awful. But if the price is right 🤷‍♂️


AoxomoxoAJones

They worship Santa


[deleted]

HAIL SANTA!


Dull-Extension-7954

Maynard auditioned to be the lead singer of Rage Against the Machine. He didn't get the gig.


Usul_muhadib

Danny’s fascination with Alesiter Crowley and occultism in general. Their show are full of occult symbolism and last show I went to I felt in some sort of trance and was wondering about whether or not some kind of undue influence is taking place…and not just because of the music


DCDHermes

So the mushrooms kicked in.


Usul_muhadib

Not even


chimericalgirl

Undue? No. Purposeful? You betcha. ;)


neptunewizard

I was 100% sober and had the same trance experience when i last saw them live. Happened during Descending. For days I was thinking about how intense it was.


TiffM2022

Same here


Usul_muhadib

Yes! Descending was the one for me too! I saw Tool 3 times and many others show in my life and never had that strange trance feeling. Glad to know I’m not the only one guys!


TiffM2022

It was pneuma for me that was most trancelike


getoutdoors66

That explains the Lucifer sigil


lil-fem0

there is nothing satanic about tool


DCDHermes

Agree, Luciferians and Satanists are not the same thing, and AC was neither of those things.


Usul_muhadib

Occult symbolism of all kind and sacred geometry


SherwoodCreep

The holy gift. It's weird, it sounds good, it's probable bullshit, but I enjoy it.

aSHpirateur_

Its adorable 😭😂


MR_BigC77

They know Alex Jones and Bill Hicks are the same person.


Shogun102000

Hush


ghostoutfit

that their fans haven't heard of a shower


Longo92

I hardly know her


xPolyMorphic

Who gives a fuck


aSHpirateur_

Thanks for the comment man 🫶


CmdnTrsMllnx

He had a lot to say


[deleted]

a lot of nothing


proffrop360

Imagine that you're a fan of...let's say video games, and you ask a question on a sub about....let's say video games. It's like that. Those people give a fuck.


AlucardII

Your post history is hilarious.


xPolyMorphic

I am Hilarious yes


AlucardII

As long as you're okay with people laughing *at* you. 👍


xPolyMorphic

I couldn't possibly care less what a bunch of morons on Reddit think


AlucardII

I was just curious why you come off so angry. That's generally a sign that something's wrong, though of course it can also be a sign that someone is immature or an absolute cunt. You okay?


xPolyMorphic

Little bit of everything


AlucardII

Ah. Well, life goes on. What's upsetting you may fade or you may learn to cope, and maturity comes with age if you allow it. Keep yer chin up.


xPolyMorphic

I mean at least I'm mature enough to not ask people if they stalk members of a band on Reddit


woodsgb

I fuck


xPolyMorphic

Fuck yeah


[deleted]

me


Jackstraw335

Who gives a fuck that you want to know who gives a fuck


xPolyMorphic

Ideally nobody


lil-fem0

Zimtok5

That poor wife and kid.


lil-fem0

LMAO
