Do you remember that pictoral of Maynard from Tool as Charlie? Well, here is everything you ever wanted to know about it. Incidentally, it is also very hard to find now.

title: Tool's Keenan Depicts Charles Manson In POPsmear
author: Carrie Borzillo Tool's Keenan Depicts Charles Manson In POPsmear
The 15-page These Children That Come at You with Knives, which was written and directed by noted author Legs McNeil (Please Kill Me) and co-written by Gillian McCain, will appear in the May/June issue of the magazine, due on stands May 10. A fumetti is a comic-book style layout with still black- and- white photographs accompanying drawings and a script to tell the story.
The cast of characters for the Manson/Tate tale includes: Maynard James Keenan as Charles Manson; Kembra Pfaller of the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black as Sharon Tate; Shawn Pierce of the Toilet Boys as Tex Watson; Sid & Nancy's Chloe Webb as Patricia Krenwinkle; "Handsome" Dick Manitoba of the Dictators as Voytek Frykowski; "Permanent Midnight" writer Jerry Stahl as Jay Sebring; Wayne Kramer as Leno Labianca; and ex-Porno for Pyros bassist Martyn LeNoble as Gary Hinman. Also in the piece are POPsmear publisher James Morel, Streetwalkin' Cheetahs/POPsmear's Frank Meyer, Dead Boys' Jimmy Zero, Adolescents' Tony Reflex, ADZ's Bruce Duff, Angry Samoans' Jeff Dahl, porno stars Sharon Mitchell and Veronica Hart, the Stiff Ones' Texas Terri, and others.
Maynard himself moved out to the desert. Arizona though. I read that he likes to shoot at people who trespass on his property with a paintball gun. Interesting guy.

Thanks for the link. The images kind of disturbed me a little. :(
Thanks, Bee!
ReplyDeleteNo prob! The pic of Jay Sebring kind of looks like he is about to be shot by Jim Morrison. Just made me think about reading the book "Jim Morrison: Life, Death, Legend" it states that Morrison had been interviewed by the police after the murders because he had been overheard talking and the murders before they happened. Another chapter discusses a night in 1968 when Morrison brought into the studio a musician named Wes (Charlie Manson vibes) and one of the Manson girls. It doesn't say which girl it was but apparently she was in a pill induced stupor and was giving up backdoor services to whomever was interested.
ReplyDeleteSorry to kind of wander off topic!
I've always wondered if the TOOL song "Eulogy" might have been influenced by the whole Manson saga. I'm not sure how much MJK was "into" the whole Manson story, but the lyrics could definately be about these sad group of people
ReplyDeleteTOOL is one of my favorite bands!
ReplyDeleteThey are suppose to go into the studio super soon.
DeleteWondering how do I post pictures on here sorry new on here wanted to share couple pics of my collection
ReplyDeletePattys not sure if you can do that but you can post a link to them. Matt, is that right?
ReplyDeleteYes you post links if you can utilize html tags. No pics, though.
ReplyDeleteBill, just send them to Patty and she'll figure something out for you.
