It’s hard to interact with Maus people always rip on the interviewer but Maus speaks in a way that can be very new to some people because he really gives his full attention to a question but at the same time is jarring with his body language and motions it’s like watching a mental break down. It would be cool if the person interviewing him also knew who the hell he was
It’s the interviewers job to know the interviewee, Nardwuar for example, in some interviews has indicated he doesn’t really listen to the music of the artist he’s interviewing. But his preparation and research before interviews is clearly thorough, even if he doesn’t listen to the artists, you can be fairly certain that he has heard their work at the least, and then investigates them enough to shock nearly everyone he interviews with his knowledge.
It brought me a sense of joy and relatability at the end when John bestowed the highest of praises to the "peanut butter baby" meme. Such a smart, pure person and an amazing musician.
To anyone saying this interview is horse shit, I've listened to hours of John Maus dissecting his philosophies & artistic process.. but here I am, just fucking floored that he's been genuinely marveled by the peanut butter baby lol. This did a total factory reset on me. Ready to carry on with my day feeling focused & assertive in my work.
I think the title of this interview is so stupid, you can refer to anything about John and you decided to make that the point of the interview? WHAT ABOUT THE INTERVIEWER? As a fan of John, I feel so pissed off by Vice...
If you're reading this, please go see Mr. Maus live. This isn't really my type of music outside of John, and it was still the best show I've ever seen.
www.vice.com/fr/article/mb3kdp/un-conversation-tres-tres-tres-technique-avec-john-maus that is... one of my favorite itw ever by a brilliant journalist...
Fr not to be mean but I was thinking the whole time that the interviewer wasn't a good fit for the type of person Maus is and the way he tends to talk about things
Vice: "Let's interview one of the preeminent musical geniuses of modern popular music, who is so passionate about his work that he shakes when he speaks" Also Vice: "Hey John, when's the last time you pissed yourself?"
Kind of breaks my heart hearing him say he hopes he can still be of some use in the future, and to “draw blood from the stone”…and then there are people who are SO dogmatically fascist in their worldview that they would go so far to say that John is one of the “BAD ONES” and write him off completely. John Maus is very much a John the Baptist figure of our time (“Prepare ye the way of the Lord”) - we should lend him an ear. We need his music! I hate our current culture of online virtue signaling tribalism... Sure, John may have some odd views and has associated with some interesting figures, but from what I can see he almost certainly is not a “Nazi” or a “fascist”… It’s such a disproportionate, unrealistic way of viewing things IMO!
It’s immature to pretend not to like someone’s music after being a diehard fan of them just because it’s seen as embarrassing or something and makes u a nazi too, no it doesn’t. No way him and ariel pink should be cancelled their music is awesome
@@EASFromTheWest AP should def be "cancelled". Well, he kinda was. I hate the term/phrase *but* he threw JM under the bus and lied about John's beliefs. AP *knew* could hinder his career/life. As it did to himself. It's not even about politics - f*ck that guy. You cannot do that to people! WTF?! Putting words in their mouths and babbling around as if can speak on someone's behalf?! Let alone doing it to someone who has been and IS STILL very clear about their beliefs - WTF is wrong with AP? A lot, sure - but that move (or whatever that was!) against JM is inexcusable. John is back and AP is kinda not - good.
I was really expecting more from the interviewer, he should have asked John questions, about phillosphy, is he going to release more music, politics. How he's doing currently. Synthesis and musical inspirations, not questions related to him peeing, the interviewer should realize he's sitting next to a dam near musical genius, in terms of how he writes his music as well in terms of genre bending. Really dissapointed Noisey, was expecting more
Yes: "I refuse to grovel in the dust before a quintillion". It's a quote from Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus. A translation of the book online reads as "I can see no reason for groveling in the dust to adore a quintillion".
@@tawbi Thank you so much!!!!! I can't believe I got an answer! You don't get those a lot, especially with references, understandably, so thank you so much for this! I'll go read that book immediately, in german, that's so cool, thanks!
man let me interview john, this interviewer was so dead, john answered every question with great detail and all the guy could say is yeah or just let out a fake snicker.
thats what you get when you live in new york and do xanny bars. he has a veil over his eyes and cannot possibly comprehend the fullness of the world around him while shrouded in sin, just like everyone there
The dynamic between John and the interviewer couldn't be wider.
Gee I wonder why
@@peterjuvinall4835 ????
I don’t think that word means what you think it does
@@Goblin_Wizard other dude is just not as philosophical
21st century interview is like: you wanna pee, or poo, or both
peepeepoopoo
He wants to be liked as a Person, retro futurist, who also identifies as a Speedy Gonzales and a Trump supporter.
21st century highly sucks.
This lad is firmly on the spectrum. Love u Maus x
need a nardwuar vs john maus
no one could handle it
I'd die of anxiety
badly
That would probably cause a black hole to appear.
I never knew i needed this
John Maus is the physical embodiment of the way I feel inside.
Nervous and shaking?
lmao
Makes zero sense but I feel it too
at least yours is hidden
Thus dude could Have asked maus anything
RIGHT? SIGHHHHHHHH

“In the spirit of truth, draw blood from the stone. You know?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Such a beautiful deep person. Sad thing is the interviewer didn’t catch this vibe.
And John is not on drugs, he is just nervous.
What a humble genuine spirit that man is. Absolutely lovely and deep
Hope your doing ok John. keep Pushing on, We need your music
John is several waveleangths above us. States in his mind flickering like a light bulb. Navigating through his synapses like a rally racer.
What a way to say it! I love it
WTF! He's crazy!!
@@MeatyController that’s a compliment coming from simple folk
@@RemAtmos reality racer *
I wonder what his IQ is … probably really high. He does have a PhD in political science

This is twice now I have seen the quote wrong, it's "10 years, 40 years, 200 years. How 'bout I'm doing none of 'em."
@@RyeBreadSucks Hm?.... bye.
no offense but i’d die for john maus
It's time to die
And everybody knows that you can't ask why
Who wouldn't?

Same, but my pets will probably die first..
hi, can you explain me why ? :))

This guys can’t understand John Maus. It’s like watching an alien. Look at how every joke is just a confused giggle
good to see him again. virtually
I seen ur comment on another John Maus video haha we both on a Maus binge, I feel u girl ~

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERVIEWER?
As a fan of John, I feel so pissed off by Vice...
A musician with a great mind and perspective. Wish I had a friend like this.
let's be friends! @caterinaiam
Yes!
John maus is a genius and this interview is really a waste of his time
He is very intelligent for sure.
WE LOVE YOU JOHN. great to see you, great interview
Based John, we are all going to make it
John Maus got that George Mcfly vibe, and I mean that in the most loving way possible
Glad to see John as nervous as always, keep up the vibes, i need heroes to aspire to!
If you're reading this, please go see Mr. Maus live. This isn't really my type of music outside of John, and it was still the best show I've ever seen.

He'll miss her his whole life.
Noisey has to interview John Maus again with a different interviewer
That interviewer had no personality just looks the part. But was dead inside. What a waste of a John Maus interview
You realise he was trying to 'Ironic' John right? OP considers John Maus one of his favourite artists of all time.
John Maus deserves everything he can get & a whole lot more.
Seems like John actually wants to pee this entire interview)
I was listening to hes music more than 4y and still hits the same anwy hes just a legendary ♡
i hate how much of john actually talking is cut out. like with the acid question it cuts to john mid rant.
You just know he went on for a while into some cool stuff.
why does maus always get interviewed by the worst interviewers
malwarehistorian he deserves to be interviewed by someone w the same energy! Agreed
Honestly

a prime example of how it happens to the best of us
Nice to know he is doing okay :)
John maus understands music in a way not many do

He is everything!
THE LEGEND
I felt his awkwardness
This guy is awesome! I came here after hearing Cop Killer for the first time a few days ago.
I love John Maus. I could listen to him talk all fucking day. What a handsome man❤️
Such a unique gentleman.
This was like the cooler next-door neighbour meets the one who eats worms
John maus is my holy spiritual cosmic ancient mother
I Love Him So Much
It’s so weird how he just all of a sudden hit mainstream media within the past couple of months 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥
Where else has he been in mainstream media recently?

several more instances of measurement before quintillion

He’s so nervous 😭😭😭 awww
Such a down to earth kinda guy. Awesome 🎵 music
Missed him
Could they maybe find an interviewer who isn't such a normie next time? This guy was really patronizing towards John.
JOHN MAUS IS MAN WITH GENIUS BRAIN !
THANK YOU JOHN
This triggered my anxiety.
John, you'll always be of use to us.
John Maus 💖💖💖

Great interview, thanks Trey.
Finally back
I love this man! Such a genius to listen when high

Boring interviewer. Could've been a little more into it. Acted like he was forced to ask John questions.
Omg, John I’m literally him
Maaane this interview is sooooo dopee dudeee hell yeah noisey killed it with this one
How did he teach a philosophy class in Hawaii lol
He's very well read, a scholar through and through. Don't know how effective he would be as a professor though considering the way he talks.
John Maus lemme birth yo children
"it's just a fuckin sine wave!!"
God bless John Maus
Interviewer seems so uninterested.
thats what you get when you live in new york and do xanny bars. he has a veil over his eyes and cannot possibly comprehend the fullness of the world around him while shrouded in sin, just like everyone there

@@geokaker9630 this is one of my favorite comments ever. Thx dude
@@etinthecreek You're like a child wandering around afraid of anything you aren't familiar with. Maybe you should take that comment more to heart.
I'm so happy he was as shook by the peanut butter baby as I was
Keep pushing on! Rights 4 maus!
Love him so much! And his brain!!! 🧠😍🥵
That's why you need a wireless mic. I'd accept this guy going off for a quick piss if he kept singing meanwhile. Most crowds would love it.
He looks like Rodney Mullen
