I’m a fan of Maynard James Keenan. Whether it’s with his Puscifer stuff, TOOL tunage or Perfect Circle, I think at the bare minimum, he’s a very intelligent man who could tell a great story.

Tool and Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan’s biography, titled A Perfect Union Of Contrary Things, will be published on November 8th by Backbeat Books. The book was written by Sarah Jensen who collaborated with Keenan on the book.

An official description of the book stated, “The book traces Keenan’s journey from his Midwest childhood to his years in the Army to his time in art school, from his stint at a Boston pet shop to his place in the international spotlight and his influence on contemporary music and regional winemaking.”

Meanwhile, Keenan continues to tour with Puscifer, while the instrumental members of Tool have been working on music for their long-awaited fifth album.
A recent rumor reported by Alternative Nation suggested that Tool could headline several major festivals this fall, including Riot Fest in Chicago and Denver and the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans.
