The enigma of TOOL started early on as Maynard would state in an interview that the band were inspired by the philosophy of Lachrymology which later turned out to be a completely fabricated story. Maynard said the band read a book titled The Joyful Guide To Lachrymology supposedly published in 1949 by an Amateur philosopher called Ronald P. Vincent who explored the science of Lachrymology which TOOL emphasised was the study of pain or study of crying.

This was later labelled a pseudophilosophy and whilst some TOOL fans claimed to have read the book, not a single copy has ever been made available for public viewing. Some people have even left reviews for the book across the internet but it seems as if TOOL fans are just playing into the story. TOOL even make reference to L Ron Hubbard in the song “Rosetta Stoned” taken from their 2006 album 10000 days. Hubbard was the founder of Scientology, which many also consider to be a pseudophilosophy or a “Fake religion”. So from this it’s easy to see that the band certainly have an interest in aspects of philosophy, be it real or fake, and how these concepts affect the world around us.

TOOL wanted to have control of their narrative and their art from the beginning which is why they chose to sign to a small label called Zoo Entertainment. The label offered them a much smaller deal but a lot more control over their material. However, Zoo would often go against the wishes of TOOL when it came to promotion.
