Overview
I'm Francesco Sonoyo from Rome Italy. I couldn't believe my ears when Gary Helsinger told me in 2010 (14 years after the release of Ænima) that unbeknownst to me, I gained glory and infamy as Harry Manback .
I featured in a Tool platinum album. He told me I became an internationa l celebrity and a legend. Gary kept the audio tapes recorded in 1992 on his answering machine for years and finally handed them to Tool by the time of the release of Ænima. Imagine my reaction at first hearing of the interludes Message to Harry Manback (Ænima, 1996) and Message to Harry Manback 2 (Salival, 2000). I was completely unaware of all of this for almost two decades, then I got on the time machine and wrote the true story behind the infamous message. My autobiography, the Tool chapter of my life, is titled The Legend of Harry Manback. Paperback, soft cover, 125 pages. For sale only here on my website signed by me with a personal dedication.
