If you guys want to see me do more travel content and interviews, please consider becoming a member of the Beato Club to enable me to do more of it.
Maynard dosent just let anyone interview him, I love that he respects Beato and let him into his world for us to hear. 2 legends conversing, I love it!
Rick is a different interviewer than what artists have to put up with. Rick is not a journalist who has to do an interview with an artist he doesn’t like, or one that is full of himself, is provoking artists to get quotes to sell magazines or intentionally misquotes trying to cause a shitstorm for publicity.
10 seconds in and my first thought is I MUST GET THAT SHIRT 😂
Wow he mentioned Siousxie Siou as a melody inspiration. That woman needs the attention she deserves. It’s good to hear her name from someone like Maynard.
Could not think of a better suited person to get Maynard to relax and open up about his artistic life. Way to go Rick!
Look, I even haven't finished to watch the whole interview yet, and I can already say something based on what I just saw: as a huge MJK and Tool fan, I've literally never seen him so relaxed in an interview, and that says much about how rick can make simple yet very interesting questions. Wonderful job as always❤️
Maynard isn’t just phenomenal song writer and singer, he’s an inspirational human being who doesn’t buy into the stereotypical ‘rock star’ life style. He does his own thing, he focuses on his passions regardless of how that sits with his music persona. He comes across as a confident, thoughtful, intelligent man who doesn’t have the usual demons many in his profession have battled with. Maynard and his music have been truly inspirational to me personally, given me strength in hard times and the confidence to follow my passions. Excellent interview Rick, cheers man.
Please Rick, interview Danny Carey too! Just how can he think of so unique rhythms?
Maynard is a HARD WORKER. Guy simply does not quit.
I really love the fact that no matter who Rick talks to...Frampton, PRS, Sting, or now, Maynard...every episode starts as an interview, and ends as a conversation between friends/musicians. Rick is so damn versatile, its fantastic.
An expert interview. He let the guest talk - no interruptions, and did not force topics. Well done.
What a great interview
Rick has made his bones in music and those he interviews get that. He asks questions that a musician would ask and then subtly mixes in a few questions that a friend would ask...it's just brilliant. Best interview of MJK I've ever seen...
I think the biggest thing Rick has going for him is that when he breaks down artists songs he points out things the artist themselves didn’t realise, I think the artist respect that….and Rick unlike a lot of interviewer’s does not ask stupid irrelevant question….keep it up Rick….brilliant.
I love that Maynard mentions Siouxsie Sioux as an inspiration for good melody writing. She and the Banshees are so underrated and don't get the recognition that they are due.
It's wild hearing a legend like Keenan describe his songwriting process and how he tends to defer to other people when starting. It takes a lot of self-worth to take a backseat and trust others to do their thing, especially as the
Rick is the most honest interviewer out there, and that honesty has earned him the trust of people like Sting and Maynard. Very cool.
This is really amazing Rick. Derek trucks and now Maynard. Two of my very favorites that basically don’t do interviews. I can’t wait to see who’s next!
I cannot tell you how much I love Maynard for starting his other bands. It has kept Tool Tool. Most bands change their sounds and piss off fans. Maynard got out his other creative avenues with other bands. As a lifelong diehard Tool fan that doesn’t like any other stuff Maynard does I am very grateful!
