Maynard James Keenan on TPTB, America, and the New World Order

I’m a huge Maynard fan. I think he is one of the most talented artists out there along with who ever is one of his projects. I know all the men in tool are musical geniuses and what they produce is unbelievable art. I have been to many Tool and APC shows and I will continue to support Maynard’s talent by buying his music, wine and tickets to his shows.

With that said, I cannot accept, nor will I ever accept the notion that GWB was anyway connected to the 9/11 atrocity. Perhaps with this thought I have failed the conspiracy test, but it truly makes no sense at all to me why anyone would think GWB would purposely kill 3000 American’s for his own gain. I have to admit, it saddens me to read stuff like that coming from Maynard. But, it would sadden me more if he could not express his thoughts because we lacked a constitution with the 1st amendment.

what the fuck?? I like tool and everything but why is this pinned? The original post was made in July??

Fucken wierd....

maybe later

Secondly, get off Keenan's nuts...geez smh

Pretty Naive the government has been killing thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians for years in two imperialist wars for the personal gain of the military and industrial complex and big oil interests. Grow up.

This is awesome.

His views are clear, well-articulated, and... sober

Haha They modified my work schedule so we leave before it gets 107 degrees here in Dallas Texas where I work at a factory with No A/C don't tell me to gain employment I'm working in the sweat line too.

Here's a good one from one of Maynards friends.

Speaking of the powers that be.

Preach it Maynard. I especially feel the part when he says that your back is against the wall if you speak out. I have lost every Facebook friend, life long acquaintance I grew up with and have been completely isolated for speaking my mind about 9/11.

People do not want to hear it. It's like some veil has been put over people's eyes. It is unbelievable. That is the power of evil my friends, and unlucky us, we like the Germans in the late 30's early 40's got to see it descend.

9/11 is the Reichstag fire, and not only is George W. Bush one of the most evil people that's ever lived, his daddy George Sr. is also. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are also evil, as is Jimmy Carter, Dick Cheney and a host of others.

They are all just SS with business suits on now.

I actually have gotten to the point where I actually walk around hating my fellow American because they are letting it happen and will not speak out. I almost think they all deserve what is about to happen to them.

It's cool though, because I can be gassed or tortured to death knowing I didn't support them, and that G-d gave me the gift of SEEING them.

My conscience is clear. I didn't support these wars. I have no relationship with my brother anymore because he is a soldier and HATES me because I won't go along with him and others and what they are doing.

I have lost everything. Respect, Family, Job, money, status, and my life is next. So be it.

PREACH IT MAYNARD.

Yeah but like most who are chosen to be allowed into the elite circle of the rock music industry, the guys in Tool have selective vision when it comes to noticing gubmint corruption

i.e. they only notice when a Republican is in power

they suddenly put up blinders when its a Clinton or an Obama advancing the police state

they conveniently don't notice when Obama renews Bush's Patriot Act provisions every year

or when he continues Bush's wars and adds another of his own in Libya

So Maynard can go take a flying leap

I don't trust him

That band's entire vibe is eerie, evil and creepy as fuck


How the hell anyone can watch their videos, I don't know. Filled with all sorts of subliminals and sick imagery.

They're fucking with your mind just as much as Bush or any politician


....

Parabola as well!

LOL..out of the members of TOOL, Maynard is the shithead of the lot.

not weird, it's called redeeming Karma points to get a global pin thread and get your thread noticed.

Opiate is the most enlightenment

I will agree with you on this one

The song 10,000 days about his deceased mother meeting God and earning her wings in Heaven. I believe a quote from Maynard, correct me if it's not him, says: When I say fuck your god, I don't mean fuck The God. A great influence band to help one THINK FOR YOURSELF

That's a pretty stupid thing to say. They own the schools too..

Tool Rocks!!!!

Tool and Rage Against the Machine were the bands that woke me up when i was younger. Huge fans of both their works. If you are interested in finding other bands that speak about truth there is a band named "Dredg" that has been compared to Tool in style, but still different in their deliverly of the music. They have not let the Music industry stifle their creativness. They have evolved quite a bit from their early years to now so if you give them a listen check out all their CDs since they change everytime they put one out. Not trying to take the attention of off Tool here, just thought i would give a little heads up on other great bands.

I'll be more impressed when he bitches about Clinton & Obama as well. To be one sided about who you hate politically is pretty ignorant.

Both parties are working for the same overall agenda. If you can't see that by now, you are deaf, dumb & blind.

you can not be serious!you sir are blind as a sheep. have you looked at the facts at all??? why dont you go have a steaming glass of thermite and while your at it poor a little out for the 3000 murder victims and their family's because you just pissed on their graves.

I came home one night in 1993 tripping on LSD and found myself turning on Mtv, yeah.. they still played videos back then. Anyway... they had a thing called the Buzz Bin, basically a premier video of a band that not many have heard of. They played the video for Sober, I was hooked immediately. I went out the next day and bought the undertow album. This says a lot for TOOL. Since the mid 80's I had been a hard core Skinny Puppy fan, after you digest some skinny puppy, its hard to find anything that really speaks to you. Maynard spoke to me.
