Tool Joke

Tool gave its fans a shock on April Fool's Day when a posting at the band's web site, Toolband.com, reported that singer Maynard James Keenan was not recording with the band because he had "found Jesus," reports Launch Radio Networks. Keenan himself emailed the webmaster of Tool fan site ToolShed.down.net, saying, "I thought it only fair to inform you first, before you hear it second- or third-hand. Some recent events have led me to the rediscovery of Jesus. Tool will need to take the back seat. This may come as a shock. I just thought you should know considering all the support you given us over the years."

While most fans took the news as an April Fool's prank, some on various Tool message boards were honestly worried that Keenan had quit Tool.

I didnt believe it for a second. I knew there was still some sanity left in the world, And if Maynard really did leave Tool, you would have seen riots in the streets and i would be there.

Y'know I half believed that when I read it....I really began to wonder though, I mean, I can't imagine him just dropping everything so fast. Anyhow, good to know.

The writing and recording is back under way. When approached for comment on his recent encounter with the Son of God, Maynard said, "That guy's a punk!"

that's because when tool releases a cd, they don't release a cd. they become the cd. i know that sounds all transcendentalist or whatever, but whoever has heard a tool cd knows it's worth the extra year or whatever to hear it. and how could maynard find jesus, he is god. tool rocks.
