Tool Singer Maynard James Keenan Won't Hesitate to Kick You Out of His Show If You Use Your Phone
Have you been to a concert recently and had someone in front of you obstructing your view so they could record on their phone?
That's exactly what Tool singer Maynard James Keenan tries to prevent. He has a no-phone policy and won't hesitate to kick fans out who disobey it.
He says, quote, "You're missing the opportunity of actually absorbing in real time what's happening. Training your brain to live in the moment and see the thing, but more importantly, stop annoying the person behind you . . .
"It's annoying, it's distracting and it's distracting for us, too. So put it the [eff] away, grow the [eff] up. It's only two hours. And at the end of the show, we usually let you film a song, so you get your souvenir."
Maynard also says that his fans shouldn't have to watch the show through the phone of the "arrogant [A-hole]" standing in front of them. Plus, the phone recordings won't even look good, so it's a waste of time.
He also compares going to a concert to a theater or a play, where putting your phone away is the norm.

They say it's causing "irreparable harm" to the band . . . and they've reached out to Jelly Roll's people several times, but they're just being ignored.
