His main input in the band is that of adding melody and lyrics. The real intelligence of the band lies in the creative interplay and polyrhythmic arrangements of Carey, Chancellor and Jones. And the only virtuoso is Carey. Maynard's just the charismatic frontman who the crowds relate to.

all i wanna know is why isn't tool on itunes??!?! wtf???
As a fan you don't know that? I'm surprised. Basically, Tool are supposed to be "anti-industry": they believe their music ought to be heard as one cohesive whole, as if you were watching a movie. Not to be disassembled and taken apart track by track. They don't intend the music that way, and feel that being on iTunes, where people can purchase individual tracks, is counter to how they are supposed to be digested and understood.



Whether or not that's a load of bull, I leave for others to judge.
