10 Craziest Onstage Incidents In Rock
2. Maynard James Keenan's Moshing Friend
When it comes to the rock and metal world, Tool have one of the more interesting stage setups when put against their counterparts. Being as much a visual experience these days as a musical one, most of the reliance on flashy effects during the set have led to most of the band keeping a lot of their privacy when out of the public eye. If you decide to actually storm the stage though, you're left to face the wrath of Maynard James Keenan.
Having formally served in the military before Tool hit their stride, Maynard was already at a peak physical form when someone decided to crash the stage in the middle of the song Pushit. In one of the most impressive fights in rock history, Maynard completely tackles the man and holds him on the lip of the stage for a total of 10 minutes while the rest of the song plays out.
Since this video has made the rounds on YouTube and has become a sort of meme in the Tool community, it's safe to say that the fans are a little more lenient when trying to have their fifteen minutes of fame on the band's watch. After all, when you have a lead singer who can take people to task like this, the fans are clearly not the ones to be all that scared of.
