I was reading on the HIM board and there was a discussion of Maynard. And of course the topic of Maynard fooling people with the whole Jesus thing was brought up. But this one person said that like 2 years ago Maynard said 2 of his band mates died in a car crash for April fools. Is this true at all? She said it was on toolband.com

I hope he did not....that would be quite morbid. If he makes fun about himself it's ok, but saying about somebody else he's dead is a little bit much  Just my opinion.... Greetz, N. |

Come on guy's. Heres the "toolshed" prank : For 20 hours on April 1st, 1997, the following April Fools' Day message was posted to this site, an example to many of us to heed the message of the band that we MUST be VERY careful what we choose to believe. I refer you to the last line in the liner notes of Ænima. I urge you to read this entire document. Background In a nutshell, a 'fake' post maintained that there had been an accident in Australia, along Tool's tour route, seriously injuring several of the band, calling for the rest of their planned tourdates to be cancelled. The post concluded with a listserv address, signalling the prank: "aprilfools@accident-australia.com." The Setup on the Welcome Page URGENT - EARLY THIS MORNING, WHILE ON TOUR IN AUSTRALIA, TOOL'S TOUR BUS WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS HIGHWAY ACCIDENT. EARLY REPORTS FROM ZOO ENTERTAINMENT ARE THAT AT LEAST THREE OF THE BAND ARE LISTED IN CRITICAL CONDITION. WHILE THE LABEL WILL NOT COMMENT ON WHICH MEMBERS OF THE BAND WERE INJURED, THE REMAINDER OF THE SPRING TOUR HAS BEEN CANCELLED, AS HAVE PLANS FOR A US TOUR THIS SUMMER. CHECK THE NEWS FOR MORE INFO!!!! The Original (Fake) Entry on the News Page [4/1/97] - Urgent: Information is still sketchy at best regarding the auto accident in Australia; the label won't release any information about any of the band members' conditions, except to say that at least three of them are currently listed in critical condition, and that tour dates for the next few months have been indefinitely postponed. Needless to say, this might end up being overwhelmingly disastrous. OK, Just in from BMG - they realized that a lot of you (hell, and me too) were going to be concerned about this, and would likely check this page for news, so they've set up an email address / listserv thing (I don't know what it is yet) which they plan to use to keep us updated. Do Not Mail ME about it, I do NOT know anything that you don't. I will post more about this as soon as possible. To get in touch with the BMG list thing, simply send mail to aprilfools@accident-austraila.com. The Apology (Posted April 2, 1997 to alt.music.tool, the Tool Mailing List, and rec.music.tori-amos.) To all those who took this too seriously, I apologize. Some have suggested that this post was in poor taste, and given that it was written past midnight, I won't necessarily argue it wasn't. To those who spent any time or money on web-searching or phone-calling to verify this information, again, sorry you didn't see it for what it was. The subject is not one which calls for levity, and I stress that no offense was meant to anyone. I apologize for having potentially taken advantage of the trust many of you have come to place in this site by posting this. Fear not, this site will not indulge itself in such outlandish pranks in the future. You can continue to expect rumor-free news and facts from The Tool Page as you have been able to since early 1995. toolshed.down.net/news/aprilfools97.html |
