Guesting on the Loudwire Nights podcast, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan looked back on the albums that inspired him to become a singer. There are two in particular, Keenan reveals:
“The reason I’m on a stage at all is because of Black Sabbath’s first album. It’s just timing, like everything in your life. You meet a band that you were really into as a kid and you’re all excited, but they don’t know. They were just playing songs. It’s all about where you were, how old you were, what was happening in your life.”
“That was just a moment in time. It was the right time. I’m sure there’s other music that was introduced to me around that, but I don’t remember what it was because it didn’t resonate. You know, all the celestial bodies didn’t line up at that moment for it to resonate. So that first (Black Sabbath) album resonated, Joni Mitchell’s Blue album resonated all within a very short period of time and got me more interested in music than I would have been just having heard the Jackson 5 or whatever.”

Earlier this year, Keenan spoke with producer / songwriter / educator Rick Beato for another in-depth interview.
Beato: “In this episode, I sit down for a second time with Maynard James Keenan, the iconic singer of Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. Maynard announces new music to be released in 2025. For those that have not seen the original video with Maynard in 2022, here is the link.”
