The theatrical, luchador-filled concert film will feature the 2016 album played in full. Ahead of the broadcast, Revolver caught up with ringleader Maynard James Keenan to discuss a wide range of topics: Would he ever suit up as a luchador himself? Would his other bands consider virtual concerts? How has he recovered from COVID-19 - twice? Where are we in the saga of Billy D, and what the fuck's up with the mysterious briefcase?

![Tool - New Zealand TV Interview [2006]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/V-NbTcdxCwQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Maynard is one of my favorite musicians, artist, inspirations, and people.
Parabola saved my life
@@isaacbranch6244 Lateralus saved mine. And many other tool songs of course
"Wer're just as confused as you are. Just enjoy the ride." I f'n adore this guy.
I saw Puscifer live on the Conditions of My Parole tour. Awesome. It was presented just as he described the Talking Heads show. And I always wondered where he got the idea. And being a live sound engineer I was stunned by all the technical planning needed and implemented for this show. It was a large theater/hall stage, empty but for Corrina and Maynard singing upstage center, just two mic stands and the two of them. Then, over a short time, came the mini Airstream, pulled by hand, and out came the guitar player and his rig, a campfire, grill, chairs, the works, while upstage left a hay wagon rolled out, again, pulled by hand, and I think it had the kit on it, plus maybe the bass rig, but bottom line was that we, the whole audience, watched a stage production get built in real time before our eyes while simultaneously performing without any gap in music and also blowing our minds with the beautiful Americana feel yet making a parody of the whole moronic, ignorant, undereducated, “ignorance is bliss” shone clear as an azure sky. Puscifer. Yes.
i saw that show in St. Louis. Not only was it amazing to see the set come together, but the story he told during that setup, was a beautiful thing
Nailed it
Saw this in Las Vegas. One of my all time favorite live performances.
Just saw Puscifer and Tool in the same weekend about a month and a half ago, the only thing that would have made it better would have been for A Perfect Circle to have played as well. Still an absolutely epic fucking weekend.
Is there any significance to the new album coming out on your birthday?
"Yes."
Would you care to share with us what that might be?
"No."
That's fucking peak Maynard right there folks! 😉
Interviewing 101: Don’t ask closed-ended questions. Especially not with this guy.
Or
"Would you ever consider suiting up as a luchador?"
"No."
Puscifer is getting some recognition...finally. how they have managed to put out such good music and stay under the radar seems by design perhaps.
Unless he "tows the line" the industry will ignore him. That is just the way propaganda works, and the entertainment industry is 95% anti-American values propaganda.
This is not new in the USA, but it has grown since the mass usage of the Radio and TV.
This is just a possibility in my mind; If Maynard did not sense something is wrong in the entertainment industry, he would not have started a vineyard, (a way out).
@D K what two songs don’t suck?
@D K I take it youre A tool head? #toolarmy I personally appreciate all three projects for their diversity and Maynard's tonal and vocal range and they're just completely different bands. Except I do call APC chick TOOL. 😌😅
@cynthiamay your comment was way more diplomatic than mine so I ended up deleting mine . Freaking TOOL army. Nothing is good enough for them! even a new TOOL album. Just like Eminem's Stans! No other rapper could possibly be at the RAP GOD EMINEM!! HA
Tool is one of my favez but fortunately I understand every song cant be 15 mins worth of sick bass, drum and guitar solos. Unless its TOOL. TOOL ARMY forgets other music w/in that geNRE exists or is EVEN Allowed. Music SNOBERY!! & TUNNEL VISION . ANYWAYS yeah ego open mindedness. Ya know all the shit Tools music promotes. . im rambling. Bye
I see the narrow minded can't help but chime in on that one. Thanks for sharing your unwanted negativity.
Alright.. I’m ready for another concert!! My 4 and 6 year old can’t get enough of Tool, a perfect circle and Puscifer.. we need to bring light and realism back to this world!
Mat Mitchell is such an underrated musician. It had to be said.
Mat rules.
He is amazing
An amazing collaboration.
Who?
@@xOhrwurm Puscifer producer/guitar player, great musician.
I can't believe Maynard brought up Adventure Time and Rick & Morty
I literally just tripped on mushrooms the other day while watching first Rick & Morty then Adventure Time. The latter being extremely trippy. It was so much fun. Laughed a lot
@@IceKoldKilla It's the best lol
If you have Netflix, check out The Midnight Gospel
@@JDubzDrumz He has a family, and at least one little girl about 9 years old. I am sure he is careful about what she watches on TV.
But he is not out spoken about it.
You kneel corrected. :)
@@EarthSurferUSA ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Oh damn...Maynard is a redditor?
The more MJK interviews I see, the more it's proven to me that nobody can interview him and bring him out of his shell, like Joe Rogan
You should see his interview with Lars Ulrich of Metallica if you haven't already, he was actually really relaxed during it
WTF podcast with Marc Maron is pretty dam good
@@thomascrawley99 forgot about that one. Great interview. All of the It's Electric interviews with Lars are really good. He's actually a quite talented interviewer.
Yeah, he looks reeaaally tense here. No eye contact, anxious body language, monotone speech. I think it helps that he's known Rogan for a long time.
Patton Oswalt might have something to say about that statement...
When covid stops, you gotta make more documentaries. I loved the series you did with Maynard showing us around his hometown.
Covid panic isn't going anywhere. We'll have to travel to red states if we ever want to see live music again.
@@ryanduray1 Right on. This is the bullet train to Iowa. Ain't no going back.
@@ryanduray1 don’t be an idiot, the virus is real, plenty of people are still dying, and I make my living from live music, so I’m the LAST person on earth who wants things to be “locked down” or even need “social distancing”. I hate it. The masks drive me crazy. Trust me, my life has been excruciatingly difficult over the last year plus. I want and need live music, it is my meal ticket, I’m a live sound engineer and own my own small sound company, and my future is so uncertain I can barely think about it. But that doesn’t make the virus any less real. And until we all do our best to prevent the spread of this plague, it will be with us indefinitely. If we were to all follow the CDC guidelines, we could be back to normal in less than six months. With all the naysaying deniers such as yourself, we will never be back to normal. Get a grip on reality. You can’t just wish away this one.
@@andrewhigdon8346 Did you even read my comment? Where did I deny the existence of the virus? All I said was that the panic will go on for several more years. They're already saying that vaccines won't provide a return to normalcy. I feel horribly for people whose livelihoods have been destroyed by all this, yourself included. However, Texas and Florida are wide open for live music, at least at smaller venues. Maybe other states will follow their lead, maybe they won't. If densely populated states like Texas and Florida can fill baseball stadiums and music venues without having the virus run out of control, then there's really no excuse for other states not to open back up. But, one team of politicians can't possibly admit that the other team might be right about something. I never once denied the virus, but I'm extremely skeptical towards how it has been handled.
@@andrewhigdon8346 Exactly. The level of blind obedience our society is showing towards our government continues to amaze me. One example is fauci initially saying that masks are completely useless, then later saying that wearing two masks is "just common sense". These people closed every gym, but the liquor stores remained wide open. I could go on and on about the insanity that has been eaten up by the people, but I wouldn't be telling you anything you don't already know. It's nice to see some people who don't just believe everything they're told and follow blindly. This entire situation stopped making sense a long time ago.
Maynard is the man such a great artist
Who else caught the perfect Letterkenny "Hard no"?
He even said it just like Wayne.
I was wondering if I imagined that or not lol it was perfect
Pitter patter
Figger it out
scrolled down for this comment hahaha
Maynard is amazing, really everything he does is great, this latest puscifer album is a masterpiece....
Maynard and his music is very inspirational. I sold my house to buy a truck and trailer to free myself from the upside down matrix. My trailer's name is Lateralus. My freedom and wings to explore, grow, enjoy the ride and keep going :)
Rock on Brotha!! 🤘🏻🙏
That’s awesome!
"Going somewhere" or just "Wandering around aimlessly"?
It depends on what your thinking.
Just want to explore and be more connected to nature
keep spiralling ..
Maynard has a certain degree of humility that begs empathy, but if I had a fraction of his success or talent, I think I'd be stepping out with all the swagger of Henry Rollins or Phil during their prime. Maynard is such a skilled antagonist. I hope he doesn't let this ability go unused.
Which is interesting cause people often wrongly see him as pretentious
Was positively surprised as the interview went on and her questions were more well researched and in depth than i expected them to be (y)
My favorite artist, Maynard is an amazing person.
Both shows were incredible, very glad I sprung for the tickets. Can't wait for the next one!
Maynard sounds like such a chilled dude id love to meet him one day 💙
He is a good guy... I knew him a long time ago.
this was well researched with solid questions. i assume she was kind of nervous but how could someone not be haha
This made my week. Thanks to all parties involved.
Thank You Everyone for the time you put into this and doing something for the fan's. Have a good one.
Is it their duty to do something for the fans? I want you to spend the rest of your life, doing something for somebody else. Their value placed over yours,---and see how far you go. See how far you advance mankind. We are all in poverty together,--or will be.
Thanks for this revolver can’t wait for the show
“I have to ask...”
“I have to ask...”
“I have to ask...”
“I have to ask...”
Yea, rough....
Yes, who picked this diversity higher to do this interview. Completely out of her class to interview him. Completely unprepared it was so painful to watch.
@@MrSw7ndel How did your interview with Keenan turn out?
@@MrSw7ndel diversity "hire"? really
@@tjohnson9909 🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕
I absolutely adored this , Thank-you
OMG Conditions of my Parole rehashed LIVE concert style? I love the direction on that album so much.
(When) did he mention that Conditions of my Parole will come as a livestream? I mean it would just make sense.
Great interview. The briefcase theme has permeated pop culture for years. That briefcase has been around... Pulp Fiction, Ronin and a campy scifi movie from years back called Repo Man. We still don't really know what's in it.😮
I have been literally harassed by envious stupid comments just to have said i would love to say thanks to Maynard for his art. I really do not understand why people hates him in that way, he seems a very kind man. Of course i hate fangirling just like him and i do understand he does not want to be a rockstar but i still love his music the same. Fuck people who made me cancel my previous comment.
Thanks maynard for all the art and the music🙏thanks revolver for this video🙏
Think about the thousands of years of human evolution, and we're lucky enough to live in the time of the technological revolution with such a vast array of entertainment. Tool.
@@NooDLES411911 Most human evolution of the mind came from the USA, (because it was citizens of the USA who were allowed to think and achieve, creating our free enterprise system), and I am sorry to tell you, your cell phone, (technology sold to us by bad people), does not make you free to continue. Mankind reached it's peak around 1913, (not talking about technology, but the right to compete), and it was the USA. That was about the time the progressive movement entered the USA, (German economic professors to start. Richard Eli being one), and we started letting government take over and destroy just about anything we built. Anybody want to buy a restaurant now? (one tiny example). Me? I wish I were born in 1900, and earned a good engineering degree before I was 20. The world would have been my oyster.
@@EarthSurferUSA dafuq you on about
Man, it's tough seeing some millennial interview Maynard. I saw them (tool) open for Henry rollins in 92..catalyst, Santa Cruz, ca. Circa 92. Bad ass show. Thanks
Same. But in Dallas at lolla 92 so not same. Lol. My Dad is from Santa Cruz so just wanted to comment. Go banana slugs 🍌 I'm sure LOTS of mills work at these magazines and she's nervous enough so probably appreciates his music at the very least. She did better than me. I would have been pissing myself & fan girling. Joe Rogan does a better job of interviewing Maynard on his podcast. I think its 3-6 hours worth of content.
Puscifer: The Graphic Novel. Sign me up!😆
Literally became a fan of puscifer so I could hype myself up for the live stream
Billy D is my favorite character in any music video by far 😄
The Talking Heads Stop Making Sense show is incredible!!! Makes sense MJK would love that haha
He used to love them when I knew him.... but his favorite band back in the day was Alice Cooper.
Maynard: I put my pants on one leg at a time just like every one else, but once their on I make gold records.
Yea, I have heard that line a million times. I have laid down on my bed and put both legs in at the same time, just to see if it was possible.
it is. :)
I love you Maynard James Keenan, you're the only one that really gets me, and I'm not sure if you know it/me or not...Happy birthday my friend. --Kat
Amazing ❣online concert. Really helped me during this quarantine. 💞💞💞🔮🔮🔮✨💫
Thanks for all the great music Mr. Maynard you've helped me through some hard time and made the good times even better. Thanks again for doing what you do.. In my opinion you're the best singer songwriter of your generation..!! Sorry "Mr.Cornell" and music critics; but I'm entitled to my opinion. Again that's for the great music whether it's from " Tool/A Perfect Circle/ Pusifer" Men like Maynard only come along I'd say one or twice a generation. Thanks for entertaining me throughout the years and best wishes to you and your family in the future. P.S I really need to try soom of ur Wine I'm gonna have to look up where I can purchase some. Thanks for all your hard work
Nice One Mj,,,Many blessings to you, Your creativity and General Well-Being,Peace,,,,Aries :)
YES! I'd love to see "C is For" live! @2:44
Probably together with Dunky punch...
I would love a livestream Conditions of My Parole. My favorite Puscifer album.
They are working on it! Maynard said last week that he is hoping to do a Conditions livestream very soon.
Excited to here that Pusifer is getting to tour this year.
Nice interview! The Art of Work series was pretty awesome too. Looking forward to the Money $hot livestream event.
“Front people” lol. Threw him for a loop with that one.
Great interview. The man is intelligent AF, his musical talent speaks for itself.
I love how much I love Maynard
Bringing back Peter Murkin... This is can of worms you can't put the monkeys back into. I have so much love and respect for this band.
i thought it was "Merkin", completing the play on words.
"Fuckin Adolf Spritzer"!
Whilst slapping in my earbuds and cranking this band, I find an enjoyment that is usually absent while shuffling through the standard 9-5. The abstract from track to track is anything but a reflection of same ole same ole 9-5
Cool interview! Cool interviewer and cool interviewee!!
Raise a glass... Raise a glass 🥂 🍾
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !
Maynard for President.
Please Please release a physical release of the existential stream
Love his "El Jefe the Chefe" shirt🤘
+1 for Puscifer Graphic Novels!
I know this interviewer has been criticized- and fairly so. I can't help notice she is young and probably new, most likely doing her best to get her foot in the door for a dream of hers. Was probably a bad idea throwing her in with maynard - in future maybe Revolver should put her with some less mysterious artists lol
Living legend.
I feel like Existential Reckoning is TOO good
I can’t listen to it that much. Lol
Waahhh? I listen to it almost daily!
I listen about 3 times a day. The whole album. I didn't like it at first, then it grabbed my face and hasn't let go.
Favorite song?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAYNARD!
I need to go see him live so bad
Favourite album 🤘😈🎵🎶
Love him..
I really want to go see tool live if this nightmare ever ends
Me too !!!
Ive seen them once. 1997 was awesome. I’d like to see apc and or puscifer.
One of my favorite ever shows. Back in the Aenima days.
I'm going March 4th
Oh he’s so good
🖤Maynard🖤
Awesome....
Great job. Probably the hardest interview she'll ever have 🙏
Back in prison days i used to listen to npr roadside show every sunday night on pbs....but Puscifer( i think i spealt it right) takes the cake..BILLY D...deserves his own half hour weekly sitcom!!--
NPR, with the ideologies that put us all in prison. Kinda feels like you never really made it out huh?
the interviewer is just a baby 🥺 she’s trying guys... if you ever wanted to know what an interaction between a little girl and maynard would be like well here you go. not intended to sound creepy, you know what i mean :p he’s just got serious dad energy in this interview lol
and yes i have tried to unravel adventure time. some trippy stuff happening in that cartoon.
Hey watch your Gender pronouns
@@ClayMationNation With common core math, nobody can count that high.
@@EarthSurferUSA Idk, these kids are learning better math than I did. Common core is based on Asia's math programs and actually help you visualize the numbers and equations in the real world. The shit I learned didn't stick.
Common core English needs work.
Well she was nervous as hell. Don't worry about sounding creepy. She ain't that young. That's a phrase girls pull on guys all the time anyway. I'm annoyed chicks overuse the "creepy" word all the time. But she did fine. Maynard can be intimidating to some people. You can tell hes trying to help her feel comfortable in the conversation
Maynard. You rule. This interviewer is awful. Sorry. But it's true. I love that Maynard just gives her no where to go. Answers such probing questions as "would you suit up as a luchidor?" with "no." and then leaves her to awkwardly go nowhere. Which is how this interview feels. Someone careening through an unplanned interview with a bunch of random questions and no ability find a groove. Please either do not do interviews anymore or go take a speaking class so you can learn how to take a bead off of your guests and not be so uncomfortably awkward. Otherwise you are wasting their --and our-- time Especially cutting was when she went and used another interview from 2007 to fill her time. LOL. Great new insights there. "Hey, most interesting, intelligent person in rock, let me bring up something you said 14 years ago and rehash that.
Exactly! He needs to go on the Howard Steen Show!!
@@Zoninov Howard Stern is a huge douchebag and still resents Tool for them not allowing him to license their cover of No Quarter for his film back in the 90's, and has also lied several times that Maynard was in his Manhattan lobby begging to be on his show, all while Maynard was in LA recording with Tool and Puscifer... Hard pass on that. He's burned almost every bridge possible with Tool and Maynard specifically.
@@mgd9657 sorry Howard has never told that story. I know he holds an abnormally long grudge(like a crown), but he has, on the air, admitted Tool’s greatness and his disappointment that he’s such a mental case that he can’t enjoy it for what it is! Don’t go making things up around a Super Fan! 🤘🏻🌀🖤
@@Zoninov I didn't make anything up in that actually, and just because you didn't hear about it doesn't mean that it didn't happen... That's a pretty shitty notion to have. I have all of that info pulled directly from an interview with Maynard. I'm looking through my long list of liked videos to try to find the link for you. Why would I feel the need to make up things that aren't factual just to argue with a self proclaimed "super fan"? That'd be ridiculous and embarassing. If you get to wear that badge, then i'm the Super-ist Fan to have ever Super Fanned. Later dude.
@@mgd9657 that would be of the Stern Show puto!! I’ve listened to that show for decades and know the entire story between the band and him and not once has what you’re saying been mentioned before. Three sides to every story..........
Your the best on UA-cam, keeps me busy brother,theres a god
Yes! That inability to let go. I need to over come that one, personally.
Performance art baby!!!!
At least, he says that couldn't do it without his fans.
Talk about having character!!!
Blonde Redhead shoutout!! My fav!
Happy Birthday Maynard
I'm down for the graphic novels 🤟

Loved the wrestling show. Hahaha.
Maynard's "hard no" sounded like Wayne from Letterkenny
I think that is a interesting idea, revamping some work that was already published, (published as a sequel of sorts?). As we get older, we never stop learning things as we get better at figuring out reality, (which we can if we "think" about it, defines us as human). Revamping your previous work will actually show the evolution of your mind. That is interesting and it can be very noble and powerful,---if the mind is going in a rational direction. We don't make up reality, (it kicks our butts when we try). It is what it is, so we can discover it.
Wow. Leave it to Jim to find a "break through". I am actually a bit overwhelmed by the potential.
A 10 song album of revamped past published songs, (things you want to change), with the title of the album "Evolution of a mind. Vol.1"
OK, 12 songs. The last 2 new stuff for total creation, (along the same theme of a minds evolution). It's wild man. The potential is all over the place. Damn, that is exciting. :)
Love Maynard as always. Would have loved a more enthusiastic interviewer with questions that were edited better.
They need to do a live TOOL
stream,now that would be amazing 🤩
If by managing editor you mean of her Jr High newsletter, she did a super job
Rude af
@@kenzieacevedo1605 Revolver should be embarrassed... ridiculous interviewing “skills”
Im not going to exercise restraint here because its comments like yours that are part of the problem with this world. Youre being a bully. And you should really ask yourself why you feel the need to chastise this woman who is clearly nervous speaking so personally with someone she admires and respects. When we point out what we see to be flaws in someone else its really because we see that flaw in ourselves. You have love in your user name, but where is the love here? All i see is hate. But guess what? You will be the one to answer for yourself and your mistakes when this life is done so have fun with that.
@@kenzieacevedo1605 good luck navigating through real life with the inability to see that not everyone deserves a gold star- she is the editor, her interviewing skills should be excellent- they’re horrible. She needs to practice. You need to grow up.
@@cndluluv We do not negotiate with terrorists.
When he Said polly harvey I got really excited
"JUST ENJOY THE RIDE" (12:17)
"Let's start here... i wanna back up a little" lololol
I really hope we get conditions and v is for livestreams, and then that bald price better package that shit in a box set and over charge me for it! I want these livestreams in my collection!
Can't wait for the Conditions of My Parole, hopefully they do most of it in the country music format, as I'm a big fan of country music(the real kind) and everything MJK does.....would be nice if they reworked some of the newer songs too.
As far as the interview, not very good. She was pretty awkward and no real conversation was had. Took a large portion to just re-hash a popular interview from way back. Seems like it was just trying to get people to go back and look for it to get more clicks.
Edit: Didn't read the comments before posting, but have now and see a lot saying the same thing, almost exactly. Was kind of worried I was just being an asshole, but at least now, even if I am, I know I'm not alone. ASSHOLE PARTY!
Bad habit, searching for public opinion to see if yours is OK.
@@EarthSurferUSA is that what I said ? I read comments not to look for approval, but to just you know, read the comments, then saw similar comments........putting words in people's mouths or implying is a bad habit
her lack of ability to control the situation and maynards easy ability to deflect such attempts might have made her uneasy (?)
Yeah hard to finish but I did.....
Fuuuuuuuuck! I'm locked down here in France and the only thing that I have to do this month is at the same time as the stream, damn it!

13:02 he’s an honest guy!
can't wait for the paper view!
The concert is on Maynard's birthday. LOL
Guess that's his gift,Reminds of in 2014 he dressed as Billie D. Berger and had the band "Failure" reunite for his birthday which is his and my favorite group."Fantastic Planet" is a great album by Failure.
