8. Maynard James Keenan

If you thought messing with someone like Henry Rollins was idiotic, imagine deciding to invade a stage occupied by a highly reclusive military veteran that is a renowned practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Tool, Maynard James Keenan's band, is notorious for featuring fans that are incredibly dedicated to the group. They agonise over every detail of the group's complex progressive metal, from the lyrical themes to the intricate conceptual arrangements. So you'd think that this particular devotee would have some idea that Keenan is not someone to mess with. Keenan makes the fan look like a fly, swatting him with ease and putting him in a headlock. He then sits on top of him while the band finishes playing "Pushit". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKrUaY6hgpM
