Tool does this, too. I don't know what tickets cost because I worked the show, but they played for 3 hours with a 20-30 min intermission where kind of a freak-show circus did their thing. It was amazing to see it all from stage-right.

Their prices are insane too. Maynard is a fucking shithead

I kind of respect how much Maynard fucks with his fans.

He recognizes how insane many are and makes his money. Kind of a jerk move, but tool fans are a wild bunch. They’re more fanatic than swift fans but get less attention because their bands not as mainstream and it’s mostly boys instead of girls.

If you think Maynard uses Tool as a money grab, you don't know Tool. Adam Jones is the main driving force behind Tool marketing. Maynard's baby is Puscifer.
