Maynard James Keenan remembered the time he jokingly applied “all-male band” Tool to perform at the Lilith Fair, an all-female (“consisted solely of female solo artists and female-led bands,” that is) festival founded in 1997.
Keenan told Glamour:
“I asked our booking agent to request an offer to play.
“He did.
“They declined.
“I wanted the ‘thank you but no thank you’ letter to frame.
“Never got it.”
