What's unsettling about Maynard, is that most vocalists have quite emotive or expressive looks on their faces when performing screams like that, where as Maynard is almost expressionless, like he's possessed or something.
Psychosis. My best guess is schizophrenia to be honest. It tends to open creativity and I think we can all agree Maynard's work ethic/creativity can be pretty unsettling as well lol
ninakore He has said multiple times that it takes a lot out of him to preform because he has to get into a deeply emotional state to preform most tool songs. I think the reason you don't see the emotion on his face is because he is so focused on the source of where the emotion comes from as if he is confronting it. He must loathe most of the emotions he puts into his lyrics and having to preform them is almost like a battle with them.
Maynard has always been my inspiration when it comes to being "in front" of people. like, why the fuck should I be afraid of what people think? He's having a blast.
@@GretSeat It's truly ironic... this man used to have borderline debilitating stage fright. If you watch Opiate era performances, you will see him stare at one thing in the back of the room, avoiding any and all eye contact.
Unbelievable. And to think, so many people listen to rock music and don't even know who Maynard is. He is simply the best there is. Not to mention Danny Carey as a drummer.
6:23 ,,no one told you to come'' combined with how he stares at the intruding guy, in this postition. He really was into the show, that moment is gold.
@@Kat_Saboteur his bizarre alien dance act back in the 90's was amazing. Can't take your eyes off of him. Reminds me somewhat of Ian Curtis' (Joy Division) so-called epilepsy dance in that it's utterly bizarre but you just can't look away. It's captivating. Of course unlike Ian, Maynard has the whole package. His singing is nearly perfect every time. Doesn't matter if he has just bodyslammed a fan and is holding him captive. Anybody know any other singers who are this perfect live? Or even close? I'm genuinely curious.
A god given gift. That voice is something so different. Can be beautiful and soft and then loud, but clean and clear with a sound and style that’s unmatched
I just watched an interview with maynard and the reason, he said for not facing the crowd, was because the constant flashing of the cameras would have triggered a seizure.
Jimmy is my all time favorite "No one can show up Maynard" vocal moment. But Know your enemy.... its not the longest, but the strongest and the best show of force of his throat box. Opiate was phenomenal also.
3rd or 4th time watching this and I had to stop and comment on how unworldy his scream from Jerk Off is,! Yowzaa, sweet, Mary's grandmum's, pumpkin flavored pussy tea, capped off and sold in a liqyor store! That was not human!
There will never be another singer/performer like Maynard. I don't know if I can handle another of him in my lifetime. Too much talent and awesomeness to process.
He was probably trying to stay in character, but didn't expect to be able to nail the scream like that. I'd smile so damn much if a noise like that came out of my throat
After many years on this site, with all that youtube has to offer, always I keep coming back here. Certainly has my vote for best video on the platform. And yes, this comment is long overdue and all the other comments here warm my heart.
I read in a magazine once that this is how MJK was asked to become the singer of the then-forming Tool: Adam heard his neighbor yelling at someone loudly outside and heard how powerful his scream was. Maynard has the voice of a demi-god.
I've got the moves like Maynard, got the moves like Maynard, I've got the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES like Maynard!
I don't think any body can do that song with the primal force Maynard does it at (studio version) unless they only had to do just that song and their vocal range was incredible with both the guttural and high tones...and the guttural high tones lol
So much aggression he's let out. Now he's in it for the Melody and I love his new vocals on the new Tool song Fear Inoculum, It's beautiful. Such an amazing Vocalists, and he experiments with keys it's just amazing. Wish i could find a vocalist like that.
One of not only the best performers of all time (imo) but the best screamers. His vocal range is incredible and his live performances are out of this world.
Me and my friend were one of the few Tool fans here in Beirut, back in the late 90s we watched a Live Tool clip online, we’d only seen Maynard in magazine photos, when we saw him dancing like that we were dumbfounded, why the hell is this guys moving like that, then my friend turned and said “ i think that’s the only way to move while singing a Tool song”, i think he was right.
his voice is so precious to me, and we he screams like that Im on the edge of my seat cos I get worried hes going to ruin it. Its like a mixture of being amazed and worried at the same time such a great scream tho
It happens to a persons voice, it’s inevitable. Eventually you will not be able to scream in such a way so you must cherish every one you get and it truly does seem like he did. Also Maynard has nothing to prove anymore so why risk breaking your money maker.
Saw another comment on here about it, and I agree. It’s insane how little expression he has when nailing these screams, and he doesn’t really open his wide that wide for them either. It’s like he’s possessed sucking out someone’s soul. It’s quite haunting, but my god is it a pleasure to hear.
