True, he's noticed amongst drummers, but 90% of the time, when you hear someone talking about Tool (especially if it's a female; go figure), they're usually ranting about how much a god Maynard is. Have you heard is side projects? I've listened to it hear and there and am not impressed. As a band, Maynard of course steals the thunder. That's why I am always cautious of the front man. I typically favor Mr. Jones. Keenan's lyrics touch me, yes, but Jone's riffs make me cry. He's truly an underrated mastermind - not only in the sense of playing the guitar, either. Also helps that he kind of looks like Spock.
