Picture a burnt Kermit the Frog. Now picture that thing yelling nonsense in front of a band that quit trying in 1995. That's it.
An example of the above definition of Maynard James Keenan is pretty much everything from mid-way through the album "Undertow" until the present. Also, he is friends with Tori Amos, so that should be enough, right?

Cult-like frontman of Tool. He has a lot of fans, but others consider him to be overrated; the amount of these people exceed Tool fans.
Tool fan: "OH MY GOD MAYNARD IS SO AWESOME HE SINGS ABOUT HIS SIX INCH DICK"
Non-Tool fan: "And what else does he do for you?"
Tool fan: "WHO CARES HE SINGS ABOUT HIS DICK!!!"
Non-Tool fan: "Figures."

Quite literally a genius.
He is the lead singer of Tool. Keenan is ranked with Marilyn Manson in terms of musical talent, ability to write and perform music successfully, and to the untrained eye and ear, creepiness. If anyone needs any proof that James Maynard Keenan is a genius, simply listen to these songs:
Wings For Marie
10,000 Days (Wings pt 2)
Aenima
Eulogy
Schism
The Pot
Vicarious
But most importantly:
Lateralus
Lateralus was written in an unusual way. It was written so that the lyrics begin at 1 minute 38 seconds. This is equal to what is known as the Golden Ratio, which is 1.618. It is the most pleasing number to the human eye and has been seen in nature. The lyrics follow the Fibbonacci Sequence, which has also been seen in nature, although it is not certain why.
