citiracu jednog lika sa fejsa koji je komentarisao ovo sa cijem se komentarom u potpunosti slazem:
I don't understand the nature of Maynard's disdain for the reception he receives regarding his part in Tool. But I'm worried that he is trying to disconnect himself from a band that has so far been his most effective way of communicating with his fanbase. Maybe he begrudges his fans for this, maybe he begrudges himself for this. My firm opinion is that when he writes and performs with Tool, he is surrounding himself with the some of the most talented influences that I am currently aware of. If you consider the lyrics in 10,000 Days "Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance," and consider the musical influences he is surrounded with ... it only goes to show that he would be upset why people only want to talk about Tool. In Tool, he is NOT the supreme performer. In Tool, he is NOT the supreme creative influence. In A Perfect Circle, and in Puscifer, and in his goddamn vineyard (whose wine I have yet to drink, so please forgive my swearing), he IS the only influence which receives any recognition. His disdain for Tool stems from his own egophelia, which is satisfied through every other one of his projects. He has claimed before that he had been successful in every other venture before Tool, but I believe that he begrudges the band because it is his most successful endeavor which does not reflect his creativity as much as it does the other members of the band. Maynard ... if you really begrudge Tool as much as you claim to, you can fuck yourself. Get over yourself. You are smart, but if you don't "crucify the ego" you will continue to be a filthy hypocrite. I have been a fan of yours for many years, but I cannot stomach the opinions that you have for the band which produces the best work you have to show.'
