I was listening to some Tool earlier today and then a few minutes ago I listened to some A Perfect Circle. I noticed some very similar quality in both lead singers voices which led me to find out the lead singer of both bands is the same guy and for some time now I've listened to the great music his band(s) and he put out. Well reading through the article on Wikipedia you'll notice right away that my ears were hearing the same guy.
Maynard James Keenan
Maynard James Keenan (born April 17, 1964 as James Herbert Keenan) is an American rock singer. He has been a member of the bands Tool since 1990 and A Perfect Circle since 1999.

My favorite part of the whole Wiki was this:
Finding Jesus
On April 1, 2005 Keenan announced as an April Fool's joke - to the shock of many of his fans and friends - that he had "found jesus" and would be abandoning the recording of the new Tool album temporarily, possibly permanently.
Kurt Loder of MTV contacted Keenan via email to ask for a confirmation and received a very nonchalant confirmation. When Loder asked again, Keenan's response was simply "heh heh". Loder also noted that Keenan had not capitalized Jesus, uncommon for someone who had just converted to Christianity. The announcement was most likely inspired by Brian "Head" Welch's 2005 decision to leave his band KoЯn to dedicate his life to Christianity.
On April 7, the official Tool site announced that the gag was up with the statement; "Good news, April fools fans. The writing and recording is back under way." When approached for comment on his recent encounter with the "Son of God", Keenan said, "That guy's a punk!"
