To Meet Maynard James Keenan
Colin isn’t in the habit of re-reading posts, so I’ve edited this first part for the people who may have clicked on a Google Ad I created.
The ad is for people looking for Maynard’s, Tool’s, or APC’s fan mail address.
And I, Eric Messick, am going to provide it.
However, there is a catch.
By using this address you have agreed to write something in your fan mail about my brother.
You are obligated to beg Maynard on my behalf to grant my brother’s #1 cancer wish.
You can meet my brother by going to the Catagory “Introductions” on the right.
Tool
11271 Ventura Blvd. #505
Studio City, CA 91604
or
A Perfect Circle
The Firm
2049 Century Park E
Suite 2550
Los Angeles, CA 90067-3139
USA
Additionally, and this is probably rude and in bad form, (but compared to my brother’s wish nothing is sacred)
this is the address to the Maynard’s Winery:
Caduceus Cellars and Merkin Vineyards Tasting Room
158 Main St
Jerome, AZ 86331
It would probably be best not to use this one if you want to get anything for yourself, since it is rude. But, if you plan on just writing a letter promoting my brother’s wish…well see the above statement.
The next bit of info is taken from fanmail.biz…
How to send your fan mail and autograph requests?
If you want to request an autograph, follow the guidelines bellow. If you just want to mail a letter with the address above, and do not want anything back, then you can stop reading!
If you live in USA send a properly stamped and self addressed envelope (minimum size 8.5″ x 4″) with your request letter and a photo. You can include a piece of cardboard to keep the photo from bending in shipping and also add “Do Not Bend” on the envelopes. Send your letter and wait. On average, there is going to be a 3+ month wait for a response. If you do not live in USA, add several* International Reply Coupons. The International Reply Coupons (IRC) will be used by the receiver to purchase american stamps. You can only get them at your post office. Place the IRCs into the envelope, not on it.
I helped you. Now you help me.
And if you see this Maynard, sorry.
My brother’s more important than your hurt feelings.
(if that is how you feel. hopefully you’re cool about this)
And now back to the previous post…
Maynard James Keenan is the lead singer of Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. Colin has loved his music for at least ten years. Colin once, on reflex, flicked a cigarette at some body for claiming that Ringo Starr was a better musician than Maynard James Keenan.
It was a long time ago, and Colin is certainly over immature acts of violence. However, if you dis his band he will give you the “I-once-hit-someone-in-the-eye-with-a-lit-cigarette-for-less-i-am-in-control-now-but-don’t-push-me-there-could-be-retinal-damage” look.
Anyways, this is Colin’s favorite singer / song writer from his favorite band. It would be the business if he got to hang with him.

i love that he flicked a cig at some idiot who thinks Ringo Starr was/is better! I would’ve done the same thing! I’m writing for you man!
colin, hang in there man! look into the raw foods diet. i have met three ladies who have beaten cancer by switcjing there diet from pretty much anything they want to only eating raw/living foods. i also know a man who is beating diabetes right now by eating raw foods! hope this helps.
Dude keenan is an amazing lyricst and a very intelligent person if u listen to his lyrics, i cant see how someone like him wouldnt say fuck the media for sayin i sold out tool by going public to help someone. youll be fine man and im sure keenan will drop in for a visit justs to tell ur ask to get better! good luck some guy in missouri
i fuckin love you
Man I feel for you man! Good luck with the cancer and the Maynard wish! I’m happy that you flicked that cigarette at that guy. Maynard is the greatest musician ever.

Dude, believe me, Maynard is not an idiot. Tool may rock your socks off, but THE BEATLES are the GREATEST band EVER so yes, Ringo Starr is “a better musician”. Maynard agrees. Trust me.
So sorry buddy, i will do whatever i can do to help you, i think it’s awsome you have someone to take this legnth for you.
mayards a pretty cool guy! n i am just as big of a tool fool, i argue frequently about maynard vs. other song writers/singer! the whole band amazes me, it really bring me there “out side of the box” good luck to you and i hope your wish comes true, truly yours,Savannah A GePhart.
your the best man, rock on. I know you can beat it Keep up the good work with the tunes. My sister doesnt like you, that slutty hore bitch.
The Beatles were probably the greatest rock & roll band ever! But seriously, my 8 year old daughter is a better drummer than Ringo Starr. I’ve never met or heard anyone who can come close to the magic Maynard has created with his voice!! Good luck man, god be with you!!
Life is a bitch, sorry bout the troubles man, do you think that maynard has time to read fan mail? You provided a lot but your going to have to catch his attention some how, that man is in three bands and has a winery plus all the press and fake shit people try to do. its fame. i hope that you can catch his attention and i am no expert he is one of my heroes as well. good luck and ill do what i can for your request, i fear it might not be enough though.
ur bro is awesome to flick a cigarette in someone’s eye. he also has good taste in music. tool is one of the best bands of all time. my blessings are with him and you.
man, i hope this isnt some lame way of trying to get maynards attention, if not i am greatly sorry for your brothers condition and im sure maynard would answere your wishes if he ever got the message. i have loved TooL for 15 years and have also met maynard, danny and adam at a TooL show in atlanta GA. (dont know where justin was). this is an amazing bunch of musicians. good luck with you!!
Hey you guys should just go to one of his wine signings he’s doing. I just went to a whole foods in Santa Barbara and he was signing bottles of his wine. I hear the tour is going to a bunch of the whole foods….
TOOL IS THE GREATEST BAND OF THIS CENTURY….BEATLES WERE POPULAR IN THERE DAY ….BUT MUSICALLY THEY COULDN’T HANG IN THE SAME STATE AS TOOL LET ALONE THE SAME ROOM. HANG IN THERE BRO. MIRACLES HAPPEN EVERYDAY…YOURS COULD BE AROUND THE CORNER….JUST KEEP SAYING TO YOURSELF…..”I KNOW THE PIECES FIT” AND RIDE THE SPIRAL TO THE END
I’m rooting for you. I also wish one day to meet Maynard. I hope your wish comes true. Take care.
