Maynard James Keenan
Fecha de nacimiento: 17. Abril 1964
Maynard James Keenan [2] es músico de rock estadounidense, compositor, músico, productor discográfico, viticultor y actor. Originario de Ohio, Keenan pasó sus años de secundaria y universidad en Míchigan. Después de servir en el ejército en la década de 1980, asistió al Kendall College of Art and Design en Grand Rapids. Se mudó a Los Ángeles, California, en 1988 para seguir una carrera en diseño de interiores y construcción. Formó la banda Tool con Adam Jones poco después.
Keenan es más conocido como el vocalista de las bandas multi-platino de rock Tool y A Perfect Circle, con quienes ha publicado cinco y cuatro álbumes de estudio, respectivamente. En 2003 creó Puscifer como un proyecto paralelo, y la financiación y grabación de su primer álbum de estudio fue en octubre de 2007. Desde el aumento de su fama, Keenan ha sido señalado como un solitario, a pesar de que aparece públicamente para apoyar causas de beneficencia.
Además de su carrera musical, ha actuado de cómico improvisado y se ha aventurado como actor. Es el actual propietario de los viñedos Merkin Vineyards y de los asociados Caduceus Cellars, y tiene la propiedad de parte de los Stronghold Vineyards, todos ellos situados en Arizona, donde vive. Entre otros negocios, es un socio en el restaurante de Los Ángeles Cobras & Matadors, y posee un mercado de productos orgánicos en Cornville, Arizona, este último con una sala de degustación de sus vinos, así como un patio de comidas.
Frases Maynard James Keenan
„It's a purging of sorts. Like, when you're all done doing your laundry and it's fresh and bright, but washing the clothes, you wouldn't want to get in while it's spinning around.“
On why his band Tool is like a washing machine — reported in Jim Sullivan (July 4, 1997) "Lollapalooza Still Packs A Wallop", Boston Globe, p. D1.
„It’s in my blood. My great-grandfather made wine and it’s a tradition I want to pass on to my son.“

„One of my biggest heroes in music has been David Bowie. He's said, `I'm going to be a painter now, or I'm going to do some films,' and his audience is very forgiving, because they understand him as an artist. Whether you agree or like the result, you respect that he's expressing his artistic feelings.“

„You can grow grapes in almost any part of the world. You just have to develop your palate enough to realize wine is an expression of the place where you make it. You don't have to take over the world; just be an artist and express your area.“
George Varga (November 7, 2008) "Tool lead singer hits the right notes in the winemaking community", The San Diego Union-Tribune, p. E-1.
„The process that we go through in recording with Tool is very organic, but at the same time it is very thought out. There is a very left-brain process of dissecting what we're doing and drawing from source material; it's very research oriented and esoteric.“
Neil Strauss (March 29, 2000) "A brain comes full circle: Rock musician Maynard James Keenan, of the bands Tool and A Perfect Circle", The New York Times, p. B3.
„I think there’s a reason why wine figures into so many religions. There’s something transcendent about it. It’s sort of the way that music is more than the sum of its parts. You have all these elements that make up the terroir that wine can communicate.“

Iain Shedden (July 20, 2001) "Tool a bigger `threat' than any rapper", The Australian, p. 10.
„Tool is not Slayer. I went to art school. I spent three years in the military. There's more to me than throwing devil horns.“

„It's the role of us to run our government, the government by the people, for the people, and I don't think our government is listening to the people. It's our role as patriots to question them, because we elected them. And if they're not fairly and accurately representing us, it's the job of the people, the patriots, to take their country back.“
George Varga (October 31, 2004) "Fired up and emoting on the state of politics, and more", The San Diego Union-Tribune, p. F-5.

„You really should be able to feel the higher power of music and be moved by it, rather than listening to me waffle on and having to explain it.“
