Reason 2354 why Tool is one of the best bands of the last 20 years. Not mentioned in the Wiki entry is that the crowd actually kept repeating Maynard which is why he kept baa-ing. The crowd didn't realize that Tool was making fun of them and calling them sheep.
There is a common misconception that Tool is anti-christianity and against organized religion in general when in fact they embrace spirituality. They just don't believe in blind faith (like scientology or evangelical christians) or needing a middle man (priest, pastor, rabbi, etc...) to have a relationship with their preferred deity (Sorry Beezer).
