maynard has found Jesus?

[Roo6339]

is it a hoax? or is it true that Maynard James Keenan has found Jesus?

according to www.toolband.com, maynard has found Jesus and put the work on their album on indefinite hold... i hope this is true... of all the people i want to see come to Christ, maynard is on the top of the list... however i'm not getting my hopes up considering it was posted the day before april fools... and maynard could just be mocking head (ex-korn)...

what do you reckon? i'm borderline on this one...

I read the thing on the site and it doesnt seem to be a joke, but the guy who wrote seems really negative. And its on 31st.

Maynard James Keenan is an atheist, but stranger things have happened.......

 

[wgjones3]

Hopefully it's true.

 

[musicPhan#41]

i don't know. that's crazy.

i hope this is true. that would be the sweetest thing EVER to have James Maynard Keenan in God's army.

he is one of the most artistic artists out there today.
well, i hope this is true.

my thoughts exactly. as much as i'd love to hear a new tool album (being my favourite band and all) i'd rather they can that and maynard do a Christian album... as long as it doesn't take another 4 years...

April fools joke.

i would be very pleased if it were true, i respect maynard immensely, and he's my favorite musician, this would truly be a blessing. the posting looks lagit...and their website guy is not usually one to joke like that...

same here. i was highly anticipating new Tool, because lateralus was so amazing.

but i'm with you on this one.

As much as that would be completely beautiful to see, I highly doubt Maynard would turn to Jesus. I guess we'll have to wait and see if this is the actual truth...

From toolshed.down.net:

04/01/05] - Completely unexpected

[size=-1]I have no idea how to introduce this, so I'll just post it. This is an email Maynard (the real one) sent in moments ago:

"hi, kabir. 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. all my faith. maynard."

​

This is an actual email from actual MJK. I was going to type up a post about how the RIAA had sent us a letter shutting down The Tool Page (as this year's annual April Fools' Day joke), but now I just don't think it seems appropriate. More on this as it develops. §[/size]​

[Roo6339]

they seem so sincere... aagh! anyone have maynard's phone number?

 

[musicPhan#41]

Jesus is the shiz.

he's just straight up awesome.

he rocks hard- washboard ab style.

 

[MoreInSorrow]

i'm sorry you feel that way.




Sorry dude, but Jesus is the shiz.

he's just straight up awesome.

he rocks hard- washboard ab style.

hahaha.....awesome.

As long as the guy still makes music, I really don't care. I'd be pretty interested to see what sort of Christianity has attracted him.

me too. his whole message has always been very "don't follow a religion, don't be blind. figure it out on your own" kind of thing.

 

[God is pop!]

Thank God he found Jesus at last!

 

[BeonopSontGut]

Agreed, Jesus is the Man, Maynard is somwhat lesser of the man, but still the man in a way.

his whole message has always been very "don't follow a religion, don't be blind. figure it out on your own" kind of thing.

I guess he figured it out for himself. Even in a non-Christian sense, I respect him more because he did what he preached, albeit in the opposite way anyone would have predicted. I've been praying about it since I joined the tool army. If this is true, though... he sang Judith. Judith- the one song that offends me, and I can listen to (some) Slayer.

 

[LostsoulDFZ]

Well i honestly think Maynard Rocks harder then jesus, and i dont see why Maynard would change his life long ways and jepordize his career, but wat do i know im just a stupid agnostic kid.

 

[LostsoulDFZ]

i can listen to slayer too. they are talanted and nothign is wrong with talanted music
