I am building a shrine to Maynard from Tool

[Yep.]

I used to like tool a whole lot, i still like them a little, but i'm so turned off by all their goddamn gothkid fans proclaiming "tool is the best band ever and if maynard told me to suck his dick and shoot myself i would cause he writes soooo well".
How come every single tool fan is on a first name basis with their singer? The guy could very well be an asshole, nobody's met him. Judging by his lyrics he seems kind've pretentious and self-righteous .
Why do the kids love tool? Because the lyrics are what every tortured adolescent wishes they could write in their journal.
I like musical tool, but as far as i'm concerned most of their fans might as well be dirty deadheads or their phishkids.
