INFO: Maynard James Keenan is first of all known for being the leas singer and songwriterof Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. But he’s also a great example of a modern day renaissance man. He’s a rock star, record producer, actor, author and winemaker. The guy even built his own gym to practice jus jitsu and he’s also a self-proclaimed doomsday prepper As of now he lives a reclusive life in Arizona. But who is he, really?
What artist/band should be next? 🎸🤘🎧
Lie Likes Music Julian Casablanca 😎🎶🤘
Pj Harvey next?
Lie Likes Music boy pablo since they have new hit losing you. They are from Norway.
COIL/John Balance if you want ;) Not many people know them and some might not like them, but I think COIL's work is astoundingly good and unique!
Joy Division, one of my favourites.
Imagine you were starting a band, and Danny Carey randomly happened to be your neighbor
Yeah no Tool without that neighbor, I don't care what you tell me
@@musicisme456 it's funny bc I was just discussing this with my husband. He said the same thing. Tool just wouldn't be tool without Danny.hes irreplaceable. & I agree on some level but would argue that the same could be said about any of them. Imagine Tool without Maynard. Or Adam. I was thinking that the only 1 who might be replaced is Justin since they did have a different base player on their first 2 albums.but he pointed out that they sounded very different.& that's true! Not saying they sounded bad but not as good as the later albums(imo).something about the way he plays just sounds so different & unique. Sorry this is so long. :)
@@lovelydovy660 they ARE tool. Take any of them out of the equation and the family is not the same. Straight up
No shitski lol

Understanding Maynard James Keenan
Step 1: Don’t try.
Preach. You cannot understand a genius. It's not possible.
It's like understanding inside a black hole. If the black hole has drugs.
okay thank you
jesus you all sound like such walking turds especially rubaida...you cant understand genius haha i can understand an asshole really quick tho. talk about TOOLS...you all are sad as fuck
@matt matt im actually a well established producer based out of chicago and have been since 2004 LOL i get PAID to interpret music. sorry you are still in the "being a super asshole is super intellectual" camp. get over it bill hicks.
This man is a legend. If him or Tool never gets inducted in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame that is a crime.
They're too good for that honestly
F**k that shithole, it’s a con that place. The likes of Madonna and NWA are inducted into it because they came up with the💰 to be inductees and invited their friends for 10 grand per table which is what the guy who runs the whole shabash charges for the privilege to be an inductee.
Fuck no hall of shame couldn't invite tool if their nuts were about to get castrated
Can't take the Hall of Fame seriously
Who cares bout
When you realize Maynard wears a wig for apc because in an interview he said you can’t have two bald guys in a band lol
Take notes, The Stranglers.
What is your profile picture? I have seen that before!
Nvm its an eye for tool
He's a rockstar
He also said he wanted to be semi anonymous for his son
I saw a picture of Fuel and thought. "That's weird two bald guys in a band. Doesn't work." 😄
He's just a dude living life.
You make him sound like the dude from The Big Lebowski.
Haha that's brilliant.
He’s a drama queen
@@os4mike He's more of a troll than a drama queen
I saw somewhere that he has an English teacher in his fam. Before, I just kinda imagined him to go to s.clubs, rarely & not get any dances. But just pay for the females to talk to him about random things, or life. While he sipped on wine. Maybe when it wasn't busy. Bc him as a rockstar= quirky, doesn't want to be seen. Him in a club= kinda flashy, but still not exactly typical, still might not enjoy crowds. Just likes to throw ppl off their norms/bubbles, I guess. Just for his own entertainment. 🤷 Seems like some sh. He would do. Not that I know him. But he does say/ sing about some "out there sh."
But now, I just imagine him out in the country, somewhere. Sitting on a tractor, like he's really gonna do something, but just sitting in some shaded barn. W/ miles & miles of nothing but grass/land surrounding his house. Some wine worker goes by & he screams sh., Like "damnit, didn't I tell you to go crush more grapes😤?" Feeling accomplished for the day. Scrolls through his social medias for comments. Attempts to read the first couple of things that are mainly insults, & he just sits there thinking about grammar. Loses patience easily, has a short attention span, scrolls fastly through sh., Only skimming wever it lands on. And he says sh like "you's stoopit." Scroll fast, "you's stoopit." Repeat. Every once in awhile, trolling. But under some different account. Sits for about 15 mins - to an HR & is like," welp, time to hit the gym/karate place now." Gets off tractor. 😁 That's what I think he does in his free time. I'm pretty sure of it.
My grandparents told stories about Elvis Presley. My parents told stories about the Beatles. I'll tell my future kids stories about Maynard James Keenan.
Lol Elvis and Beatles debuted just 6 years different
My 5 kids do listen to Tool. It is important to me to show them that just because it's metal/rock doesn't mean it's evil music. Once you actually listen to the lyrics, it can be very beautiful, especially Maynard's lyrics, talking about trying to find yourself. Been a fan since I was 12 yrs old, n I'm going on 40 now, but Tool will never die. #Fan4life
"I can see your back is turnin, if I could I'd stick a knife in!" Friggin beautiful! So much emotion at that last yell when the music stops.
My mother didnt like the beattles she told me about Credence Clear Water Revival and my grandparents liked old Mexican Folk Music
@@rockk9753ccr is awesome
I have to say when I listen to Tool i shed a tear. My son at 31 past a year ago and Loved Tool. At 55 I grew up on Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendricks and so on. My son turned me on to Tool and yes what I liked was how technical they were as musicians. Anyway thanks for the music and the memory of my son, I miss him terribly.
My condolences. I will pray for you.
Much love man….my younger brother got me into metal and he passed away in 2020. Each time I listen to music is remember him and remember him, they are still with us , just in a parallel realm.
⚘🧡
Bless your hearts. Xx
💚
Maynard is my favorite Joe Rogan guest. He is wildly intelligent and subtly hilarious. One of the coolest dudes in music.
Yup it is a great episode. Maynard and Joe are two of my favorite people who aren't me.
He never talks about anything interesting on Rogan. Never anything about the way he composes his music. I think he's horrible on Rogan. Always a disappointment
@steve the cross bruh, put the wheat rot down. Life is a lot .ore complex then a small minded outcome such as that.
Maynard James is a homophobic asshole
@Freeman Thornberry ok
One does not simply understand Maynard James Keenan.
I don't know how many times i've seen this meme in the comments
He is an only child , and I’m blind so I don’t care what you say!!
Aren't you funny...
Its easy. He is a borderline that tries hard to live.
@@samkinison2375 yo wtf lol
He taught me how to ride the spiral. One of my favorite human beings in existence.
Awesome. When did you first get introduced to him?
Lie Likes Music When I was five or six. My dad was a huge Tool fan and he had a couple of their CDs. We'd always listen to them in the car. I remember he had a collection of their music videos on DVD.
"Keep Going"
Critical Joe That sucks but could be worse. It was for me!
Abel Ramirez ditto
I remember seeing A Perfect Circle as a teenager when they headlined Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio. I loved how weird the stage set up was with Maynard near the back of the stage. It seemed very ego-less and I found that very cool and it almost created a true respect for the music and not for the celebrity that is created by way of the musical talent and status of his work in multiple successful bands. I have massive respect for Maynard. He stays true to himself and what he believes is right. Thats a rare thing nowadays.
I have seen close to 50 live bands and Maynard is the best live vocalist I ever seen
He stands in the back away from the bright lights. The lights trigger migraine headaches.
"Elon Musk is our human idol in productivity"
"Hold my wine" - says Maynard

I’m just always mesmerized by his appearing and disappearing hair 😆
Hahah. Then i think you'd love this video too ua-cam.com/video/ruOw6RFn3UU/v-deo.html
This man is definitely someone to look up too. His intellect, his ethics, his talents, ALL something to admire and inspire.
Eric Kilmer Sure. I think a lot of people can learn from what he has done. Thanks for emphasizing that.
@Corby Dinsburger Yeah bud, I was weak-minded if I looked up to my dad at age 12
Corby Dinsburger Brilliant comment.
Dude my grandfather was quadrupoledric , for 35 years. It's a hard thing when you watch someone you love go through that kind of disability. Many props to you sir!!!!
Damn. I guess I'm not the only one that had a mother with an aneurism. Only we took care of her for many many years at home. No nurses. No live in anything. Just the family. She was like a child after her aneurism. I feel for the man on that front of his life. Damn hard when it happens when your a child. I was only 10 yrs old when my mother got sick. Big props to the man for remembering her and naming a wine after her. That really hit home for me.
Kloco you have my admiration and empathy. My father became ill a few years ago (he ended up passing away about 7 years ago) and things got real rough close to the end. It was hard and difficult and my father ended being diagnosed with dementia and also he could not eat without aspirating on liquids/foods. 😢😢
If you haven't already I suggest you give Wings for Marie PT.1 & PT.2 a listen
His mother would be proud of him. This guy helped me when I was in the depths of my depression. Eat the Elephant Rocks as well.
He seems to have helped quite a few people in this position. And for that i'm very thankful.
Thanks for sharing.
His mom would be furious him going down the path off Luciferaism.. his mom was a devoute Christian and pleaded for James to not turn his back against Jesus. Yes his mom loved him but she pleaded to him over what he was doing and turning away.
laren hughes Yes, this had been very troubling to me being a Maynard fan. So smart and brilliant, yet such a fool.
laren hughes oops has been very troubling.
@@dlindo8892 yes his talent is amazing but disheartening at the same time. I was a huge fan till I started looking into what his music is all about. I pray for him and hope he opens his heart to the truth. God bless you
Saw Tool in concert this year! Mind blowing.
Oh dude, it's like an out of body experience. Went this year in Feb and going again in June :)
@@RosettaStoned462 Gonna see them in June too...psyched!!!
@@jmmuench awesome:) I'm so excited for us !!!
April 2020, can't wait!!!
@@nickvarga463 yay!
His life story makes me think that he lived a different life then got the opportunity to start over with all the knowledge he already had. The choices he's made and things he has done are so diverse..
You mean you don't know many other people who flout their dogmatic family religion whilst crushing academics and participating in three all-consuming activities of wrestling, cross-country and glee at the same time before joining the Army (to become an FO, which is fairly tech and math intensive) with the intent of going to art school to become an interior decorator, DENY an offer to go to West Point (which thousands of people would suck a mile long line of dicks to attend) and trip and fall into your fallback third option of becoming an ultra-famous multi-platinum record rockstar before pursuing your ultimate dream of living alone on a desert farm making wine?
That fucking word is so fucking played out and used by fools.
@@truesoulghost2777 ok

Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here..

OFF GUARD
"May-nerd"
Whiskey Fett he pronounced it like that while i was reading your comment lol
Whiskey Fett 🤣
Maynard is a master of living a purposeful life. He'd make a great cult leader, except that he would never tolerate followers.
A pity, for the rest of us.
True lol
@Freeman Thornberry what a loser you must be. we just like his fucking music chill out.
@Freeman Thornberry If nobody knows shit about him, why are you so inclined to insist that we should hate him or ignore him? How do you know there's nothing great about him? What's the basis behind that statement? If we assume the only things we know about him are those which we view publicly, his performances, his work, we can clearly see that he at the very least has a creative mind. And definitely not a 'plain' voice, it's anything but plain compared to other singers not just in general, but even in his own genre. That's not me fanboying, that's objective reality if you observe the landscape of the music industry.
I don't know what you've been smoking but nobody exactly worships MJK. He probably has some superfans with an unhealthy obsession with him, but that can be said for any celebrity. And yes, I agree that worshipping anyone to that extent is pretty bad. But that's not most of his fanbase or the fanbase of his projects. That's a small minority who you foolishly chose to accept as a majority, without looking deeper into it, probably to suit your narrative. If you ever actually took a moment to listen to MJK, to what he has said in his music, to his message, you'd come to understand that he advocates for literally everything you just described. MJK hates worshipping fanboys, he has actively made songs against them (prime example of this is the lyrics of "Hooker with a Penis"). He actively advocates for a populace that thinks for themselves and doesn't give in to people's views purely based on their authority, just listen to the intro of the Salival version of "Third Eye". It begins with a repeating quote by Timothy Leary, an American writer and psychologist - "Think for yourself. Question authority. Think for yourself. Question authority..."
You can find these messages in all of Maynard's music. While on the surface it might sound unpleasant, crude, sadistic, perhaps demonic, if you take a moment to truly listen to it, to read between the lines, you'll find that the music in reality advocates for good health and well-being. I strongly suggest you look into various lyrical analyses of his music, especially Tool songs. There's a lot of hidden meaning in them. Heck, Tool have a song on their Aenima album titled 'Die Eier von Satan', but if you look into what the lyrics mean, it's actually a German recipe for cake lol.
Freeman Thornberry Jesus, this is some good-ass bait here, bro
@Freeman Thornberry Worshipping celebrities and musicians is sickening but worshipping a guy you read about in a book is completely ok 😂😂
He is a genius. A greatest songwriter of all time. Tool is just next level band. Nothing is like them. No one write , compose like them.. Absolutely love this man..
I believe we can put king crimson at the same level as tool. And I'm yet to meet another band that can match these monsters, although I'm hopeful there are more.
Pink Floyd
@@JohnSmith-is4uu songwriting probably yes but music composition no. Pink Floyd are great. They are progenitor of progressive rock. They have created some masterpiece. But for me musically tool are better than Pink Floyd. Although we can't compare , their genre is totally different. Personally i believe tool are so damn unique and extremely talented band..
He’s a GENIUS. He’s on another level. One thing I have in common with him is I have so many passions or hobbies. People really should find something they enjoy doing. I feel bad for others when they can’t say one hobby.
DUDE yes you get it! nobody seems to habe any interests or hobbies anymore. no one has any passions or skills anymore besides social media. i have the hardest time finding good friends because everyone is so fucking stupid, boring and clueless anymore. shit, young adults barely even cook now a days. im 27. i can cook, i csn do car audio installations, fix cars, i build hunting slingshots, im a bass fisherman and a backpacker. cant find ANYONE interested in any of those things so ive been just chillin with my amazing fiance that goes kayaking and camping with me 🙃
@@richyoung4051 Does working count as a hobby because I couldn't really find anything interesting to do so I'm filling my time up with like 2 jobs
Seriously. I thank God everyday that I have so many things to pursue that I’m passionate about. Too many things pulling at my heart, it’s a great problem to have.
I agree with this so much
@@richyoung4051 hunting and fishing are serious hobbies, but people tend to keep to themselves on the matter.
Only one more year until new Tool album, next year again only one more year, the year after that only one more year....
Until we all die and all suspense is lost.
To be fair they were tied up with a lawsuit for years. But ya it's been ages.
Maybe they are waiting for 10k days from ten thousand days album.
Hey man, They're TOTES working on one right now.
At least we have apc in a few days?
From what I understand all the music is done and Maynard came in and finished all of the melodies and lyrics. They are at the recording stage as of now. I don't know how long they take to record, but I would guess the album will be out this year. Early next year the latest.
There was a time in my life where i felt seperate from my own consciousness, paranoid and over analyzing everything and everyone. I was slipping, in a very real scary way. During this time Maynard and his music was there and helped me stay grounded, the music helped me understand there was more to existance and i felt blessed to experience my mind rapidly expanding.
Did you have an fMRI scan of your frontal lobe to support that belief? Haha.
Just kidding man. I'm glad to hear that it helped you through rough times.
Keep it real.
Tool helped me too. so fucking much.
Lie Likes Music lol no i should of there are alot more details but i wanted to share my experience with out being too wordy lol. Thanks bro, music can really be used for so many purposes
Myself and many others have the same experience brother. Maynards lyrics & Tools music were & still are a huge positive life changing influence on myself & others.
Overthinking, overanalysing
Separates the body from the mind
I’m so glad to see Maynard admitting he is pretentious.
@Freeman Thornberry kinda was the point lol. Why do you think he dresses the way he does for shows....he is mocking imagery by being a "tool"
@Freeman Thornberry Its actually the opposite... to admit ones pretentiousness would be a paradoxical statement because if they were truly pretentious, they'd never admit it. Imagine a person that wins the lottery and donates a huge portion of it to charity because they think they are too greedy. The very act of doing that proves that they aren't, yet the whole reason they did it is because they thought they were.
When did he ever say he wasn't?
he has to admit it as part of his act
@@bluey4605 lolol perfect!
Maynard is one of my Favourite Vocalist of all time. He has a mind like no other.
He inspires me. I love Judith and Lateralus...Im just blown away!
Amazing song and album! Same here man.
Wait until you start exploring the hidden tracks by combining certain tracks..
You forgot to mention that bad ass hip toss he did on a fan
It all makes sense now.
The *what?*
Fuck yes
@@mmmmmmmmlin A fan trespassed onto the stage during a Tool concert once. MJ proceeded to judo-chuck him to the floor and then kept singing while keeping him in a controlled hold.

Understanding Maynard James Keenan
Step 1: Mind Your Own Business
False. Maynard hates shit like this documentary. If you wanna get to know him, don't be starstruck and treat him like an actual human being instead of a super successful freak of nature.
Maynard is one of the most intelligent, inspiring, and healing artist amongst us.
He really has done some of the most impressive stuff in rock and metal for many years. Thanks for resonating.
This man, man. How does he do it? He is so outrageously talented and a jack of all trades, it's insane
For sure. He just loves working and learning new things. There's a lot of luck involved too though.
Especially with the music that got him here in the first place
Through this video, I have gained a mountain of respect for this man!!. A man that truly squeezes every millisecond of life purposefully!!.What an inspiration he is to achieve your dreams and balance your life!
Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here..
@Maynardjameskeenan4590 Real or fake..good to see you!!..Better if you was theee real MJK
So what he's saying, is that there is more to life for a rock musician, than just a sex drugs and rock and roll. Brilliant!
Puscifer is a phenomenal orchestra of art. Tool remains numero uno in my heart forever but Puscifer is absolutely incredible. I really like A Perfect Circle, but over the years, I have come to love Puscifer. Maynard truly is a never-ending, recycling fireball of exploding creativity.
Oh lord... I was 13 when they came out. Its been 26 years and I'm still in love. And why is Opiate hardly ever mentioned?
Maybe because it was a live ep and not a full length studio album.
@@thatsamazin- True....
@@thatsamazin- Arent only a couple songs recorded live?
Because its pretty bad
Maynard has always expressed his struggles with performance anxiety… this escalated throughout the years. I’ve seen him about 12 times since ‘93 and 5 were him facing away from the crowd (2 times in minimal clothing)….. His talent, performance and powerful presence is breathtaking!
I’m just sad I’ve never seen him with APC!!
I have to say in my experience as a musicians wife and band aid most of my adult life that the older I get and the more talented artists I've ever met and enjoyed listening to that MAYNARD is truly a MUSICIANS MUSICIAN .He has managed to surpass and exceed all forms of partisanship and is a genuine master at creating sophisticated lyrics with depth and social redeeming value even tapping into the magic that only a musical genius of his calibur can create His songs are full of rich personal emotions and have also demonstrated an uncanny ability to be socially relevant in a deeply prophetic and esoteric relevance. and I just cant get enough of him.or his musical endeavors . If his wine is half as great as everything else he does aI cant wait to have a glass . and on a side note. My mother's name is also JUDITH MARIE and was very religous herself but Catholic and I find that similarity helps me understand him in ways I cant explain. But overall I feel a connection with him and have come to have a very deep respect and admiration for everything he does. THANK YOU MAYNARD for sharing who you are and your work You have touched my life and the lives of your fans in so many beautiful and inspiring ways.
Maynard guesting with RATM on Know Your Enemy at Glastonbury 1994 was the greatest moment in rock and roll history. I know this because I was there.
I've seen that live clip a couple of times. It's always cool to see people collaborate like that. Got the same feeling when Maynard was featured on Passenger by Deftones. Too bad he never had proper artistic chemistry with Trent Reznor. Although they did try, their Tapeworm project never took off...
John Frusciante would make a great video, musical genius and was the main driving force of RHCP when he was a member, went through heroin addiction and has an array of underrated solo work..
I'll definitely consider doing one on his story yes.
John is no longer on a heroin hiatus, bro.
Brad Nelson frusciante is a freaky dekey dude, great suggestion
Brad Nelson girl i knew was having sex with pepps manager. Said he was quiet, troubled
AGREED !!!!
Unreal.
Utter legend. Thank you, this piece was awesome ❤️✔️👏🏼💯💙🍷
I love this man with my soul and all his music! He is ahhhmazing 💕
I admire him so much! He has such a deep self-awareness and an intense belief in true genuine ART without caring about any DOES and DON'TS. He just lives as he wants to live. Writes music and songs when he wants to, performs when he feels like performing, etc. One can discover how deeply attached with his mom he was and how emotional it is for his to perform songs like "Wings for Mary" in public. Actually, it was after the "10.000 days" tours when he felt uncomfortable with performing such deep songs to a partially indifferent crown (not all of them, but lots of people were there just because the songs and the band were popular) and decided to stop performing for a while. He felt the audience can't even grasp his lyrics which are honestly his deepest thoughts and reflections. And indeed we can't. We can just try to understand him. He is more than just a rock icon to me. With his lyrics we travel to other dimensions and experience unique feelings beyond our own self. I feel blessed that I have seen him twice with Tool - always hoping for more :)
When I saw Tool perform live, he had shaved head & wore tight black bodysuit. He sang hunched over & kinda looked like an alien or a monster.
The music was spectacular & still one of my favorite bands (along with Perfect Circle) because in addition to the music, the lyrics get in my head & unlock new thoughts & emotions every time to this day.
Anita Farren can you guide me to some of the albums that might be out I'm very interested not the only one that has said that their mind what are the different place and that has lyrics helped them like they've helped you! I guess I'm trying to say that I need some help myself and I love tool very interesting person very gifted
David Nance i know this is late but the song 10,000 days is really good and always makes me think about stuff but i just recently got into tool so i know a lot of songs but unfortunately i don’t remember names
The do exactly that..Theres not one lyric that I've found hard to understand....
I know that Maynard James Keenan has one of the best voices ever. I so love The Nurse Who Loved Me. It strikes a cord!
Say hello...
@@carriec857 You’re awesome!
The story behind the making of Lateralus is so interesting, and, frankly, brilliant in all capacities. The message behind the lyrics of the song is absolutely mind opening, and very cool to me.
I love learning new things about May-nard. He's my favorite of all the nards.
Same here. I think i like nards better than nerds
I like to call him Nardo.
Maynard lives in Jerome, AZ which is where Caduceus is located. Merkin is in Cottonwood, AZ
Literally one of the BEST bands I’ve seen in concert twice, Tool. Been in love with them since the 90’s. Only other band that compares is RATM.
I've been "tooling" since 96 lol. I've been waiting for this video since then. Now I know.
Hi maynard
Seen them live 2 times, first Maynard was in complete pitch black till the end of the show, when the lights went up and he was on stage with nothing but a pair of tighty-whities. Second time he was wearing a biker helmet, spiked shoulder pads and leather pants, but also never seen until the end of the show. Plus he stood to the back left of the stage with Jones taking front/center the whole show.
It made me love him even more, he never makes it about himself, it's about the music and the message.
That, or he's just afraid of facing the audience.
Man....every time I see 80's hair, I just cannot stop being embarrassed. What the hell was wrong with us.
Yeah what was wrong with you! Hehe just kidding. It doesn't look that bad.
Thank you for the inspiration, I balance so many things (not always successfully), along with health issues, and watching this, and other stuff like this, helps me keep going. Thank you Maynard for being a beautiful person.
So, this video definetly switched something On inside my brain. Thanks for that, it's inspiring and really great to see people with amazing lifes like this.
The way he said Maynard has me wanting to pass on this.
me too
Lol It drove me nuts
may-NARD
How should he do it then?
@@CarriedbyGg like may-nerd not nard.
Hell of a dude, man! I love everything he’s done! And crave more!
Maynard is just so freakin talented his lyrics particularly for TOOL run deep thank u for this video 💚
Was already huge huge fan of the man legend himself but learned even more about him and continue to get blown away. Maynard my man- your my hero. Thanks for everything. For real. The music you've given us, the inspiration, the laughs, the wine- you've spoiled us I tell you and we love it. We love you.
Do yourself a favor and listen to wings for marie part 1 and 2. If you ever lost someone, it's the best song ever.
Kornel Paroczai , thank you I lost my son last year
Love that song so deeply told
Brian Burleigh I can definitely understand that. Especially in his case, his mom having the medical problems she had for years on end and not getting medical help because of her Christian Science beliefs, and as soon as her preacher got sick the preacher went straight to the doctor. That of course after Judith was already gone. Truly fucking sad and I am absolutely disgusted by that particular cultish wing of Christianity.
I can't listen to that song without crying. I lost my Mom in 2010. 😥
Val, OMG...me, TOO. I moved here (Arkansas) from Arizona shortly after she died. Had to shake the foundation, bc I SWEAR surviving her murder damn near killed me. I STILL can't believe I tried hanging myself one year later...(anniversary grief is SO difficult to describe, much less process...)
Strangely enough, I was introduced to Maynard in the early 2000s by a friend of mine. I'd give what's left of my memory to have spoken with him AFTER my Mom passed.
If things hadn't gotten so ______, (0 words)I had to add to my madness by getting into the strangest (and last) relationship I'd ever HAVE with a bass player who's world had gotten so dismal and dark, I'm STILL amazed (and LUCKY🍀)we both got out alive.
Sorry for rambling. Very cathartic. 🦋🕉☯️♾
he's a cool funny dude. his thing is doing what he wants. he makes songs about things and people he is interested in and he does big business with people who he enjoys company with buying and selling cool stuff he's into.
he's a comedy man first and foremost. don't ever forget that.
Yeah he sure has a thing for comedy. He did some stand-up stuff too right?
Would love to see some clips of that.
Very interesting. My heart hurts about his dear mother. That must have been so hard on him. I love that he named the wine after her.
Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here..
Waiting for the other band members to finish all their musical work before writing lyrics and singing is always what I tried to get other band members to do with me. I can not speak for James but for me I listened to the musical emotion of what the others created, I drove that emotion into my head and a movie plays in my mind. I wrote what I saw and what I felt and at the same time there was always this feeling that I had to bring a mystery to it, a way for a listener to be curious about what was coming, what was meant and where that journey might take them. Without mystery in music ... you are simply a formula, an erratic equation for some stiff collar to make money off of you.
I absolutely love this man. He is such an inspiration to me.
Awesome! 🤘 Same to me
Great video. MJK is truly a mind-boggler of a human being. If the only thing he EVER did with his life was to write & sing the lyrics for Aenima & Lateralus, that would already be more than enough for legend status.
Very inspiring man ! Thanks for the vidéo man !
Thank you for this. You have expressed why I appreciate Maynard so much. My favorite band is Puscifer, but have been a fan since the first Tool album. Saw Tools first show in 1993 in Seattle.
His lyrics get through to me more than anyone’s else. Jambi, Stinkfist, The Pot and the The Outsider particularly.
Stinkfist and The Pot definitely for me too.
Forty six and two
Wow. Great biography on him. The story of his mom made me bawl my eyes out!! Aweeeee that's so sad what happened to her! . But thank goodness his dad stepped up. His story really spoke to me - especially as a mother.
Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here..
Aye man big inspiration, I finally can do what I love by creating a perfect union
Admitting pretentiousness gives one authenticity, similar to how admitting fear gives one strength.
Geniuses are often the first to understand their own flaws and use them.
Most people don't understand his music because they're so close-minded verbally they don't understand him. I always love tool it's more of his hardcore stuff .A Perfect Circle has no swearing compared to Tool. His mother was beautiful what a tragedy but Maynard stay true and respects her to this day. He's an artist highly intelligent individual thanks for the video my friend
You really think his swearing is that important? Hehe. It's the first time i've heard anyone comment on that.
Anyways, yes he sure is a unique singer and vocalist. I'm so glad we have him. Thanks for watching and supporting
this my friend. Cheers
@@LieLikesMusic no I am judged that's why I bring up the swearing. My mother recently passed away so I've been listening to Tool a lot. Sometimes I sing it. For instance if I sing Aenima they judge me and think I'm in a bad mood when really it's soothing to me. I personally don't mind it I'm a fan of Maynard but don't like being judged by other people who don't understand him especially my boss. Get tired of bush and other bands after a while but never tool I'm just saying from my eyes you would understand it better thats why I brought up the curse words you can obviously see I said he's a diverse highly intelligent man I like the background information no matter what I'm a fan of tool I was just saying tool is a little more hardcore than perfect circle and I bought both CDs i love Maynard James Keenan like I said a true artist
Your channel is really great. Tool has changed me as a person. It might sound like a repeated thing, but Tool's music has actually helped me through a lot of shit. Maynard's voice has a quality like no other.
Yeah he really is something. Thanks for supporting me btw. It means a lot to me 🤘
i give thanks because we still having musicians like Maynard, the music from 2010 to now has been change a lot , we used to have real musicians in my opinion , we are missing real musicians , tnx TOOL for all those great songs and for the feeling created with your lyrics ,because of bands like these i will still loving the music forever
He excels in all his fields of interest like a regular person can do with only one. Quite impressive to watch and listen. Thank you MJK.
1:40 "...inspired to write songs like Jimmy, Wing for Marie (you forgot 10.000 days wich is aproximatively 27 years) and Judith."
Correction. lateralus wasn't written with mathematical intention. it was first composed out of complete accident. the lyrics were written yes, but the instrumentals were written before it was ever recognized to be of mathematical relevance.
That might be true. A combinatio of luck and intention.
It's funny maynard said in an interview it was pointless to force a song to fit the Fibonacci sequence the way he did, when in all reality everything breaks down to the sequence anyway.
Idk if there's another soul on this planet as talented as this man. Huge fan since my childhood. I was lucky enough to have grown up listening to TOOL and A Perfect Circle. I dig it all!
amazing summary, very well done!!!
I love Tool and Perfect Circle. I was introduced to him through Tori Amos. He is definitely an interesting character.
Can't decide which is more badass. Tori or Maynard...
I love both of these artists. For over 20 years. They’ve gotten me through a lot of shit.
Tori is the most talented artist of my 63 years
Amazing video, Lie. Thank you so much. I've always struggled with feelings of hypocrisy for some of my contrary interests, so this video and your comment on the end are appreciated all the more!
I'm glad the message here hit home :) Personally i have a ton of interests too. But i believe it's important to do what you're
good at. And if you enjoy that, then that's a bonus.
Love u and your music brother. Thank u. What a long strange trip it's been. God bless u, and everything u do.
Maynard helped me grieve my fathers death after years of dementia and being in a wheelchair. He remained Catholic despite years of being treated like he wasn’t even human by medical professionals due to his illnesses. I saw them live last night and am very thankful to hear him playing songs like, “The Patient” again. I look forward to hi performing 10,000 days again. Thank you to Maynard and all members of Tool.
I LOVE the way you say "Maynard"! I really like your channel. 😁
LOl i've learned to pronounce it the proper way now. Thanks for the positivity.
Do one on Jerry Cantrell
Better yet, do one on LAYNE!!!!
@Michel Foucault XVI Only the Good Die Young, that's why you're still here
Keeswn Gripp yes Jerry, no offense to Layne but there's plenty of shows/docs/videos on him, But Jerry never gets his due considering he is probably a top 10 songwriter off all time, one of the greatest musical composers ever
Kurdt Kobain haha no he’s not after layne died alice in chains died
@@keaganjohnstone9063 Alice in Chains was finished years before Layne died
Thank you for the video, and for the inspiration.
Thank you for creating this video! He has surely succeeded in causing me to turn inward! I would find it hard to believe if someone told me I was the only one.
I just wish that one day he will let Tool’s dicography to be available in Spotify
V de Vilhena
Why won't he let it on Spotify?
Sell more tickets and physical copies i guess. And it's more of a band decision i think.
A Perfect Circle and Puscifer have their music on spotify.
Lie Likes Music
I read on a tweet that they haven't reached an agreement with the streaming companies that they like
(Also thanks for hearting my comment)
V de Vilhena I heard one source say that Tool makes records as "one complete thought". By giving a listener a chance, to hear a sliver (on its own/or out of order), it destroys the entire context or vibe that the band intends for the recipient to grasp. It seems that they are even perfectionists about HOW you hear their art lol.

No Maynard said himself that it's for another reason, most likely a licensing or contract reason

MAY-NARD, has WINE-YARD
We all do this, say and do differently. Higher thinking is my way! Inspiring lyrics from undertow's sober, Pushit, 46 and 2, and etc. The man is incredible! Thank you Keenan!
Loved it! Thank you!
My mother's name is Judith, also. Much respect & admiration for you, MJK. Huge Tool fan here, as well as APC.
What Hellenic people. Spaced. Cool what. That be bout just. Worth sharing another blessed ever courage
Maynard my hero and idol!
You're hero's a cross dressing degenerate and bad actor
Maynard and che guevara for the win!!!!
I had the honor to see all 3 band in concert,
TOOL once
A Perfect Circle 4 times
Puscifer once
Maynard is my idol
This guy is amazing. Everything he touches turns to gold
I love maynard james keenan, wish I had as much motivation as him.
I'm a super huge Tool fan but man Mer de noms is a masterpiece I thank him for this
Most incredible, gorgeous voice on the face of the earth, no exaggeration. No one else comes close.
