I live in Grand Rapids. Grew up here. My older brother got a short lived gig as the lead singer in one of the bands Maynard is referring to. My brother brought home Tools LP, “opiate” that the drummer handed off to him. Was the summer of 92, I believe. I was 14. I’m 42 now. Just saw Tool in Detroit 3 weeks ago. They’ve certainly perfected their craft! Best show I’ve ever been to, hands down. Such a trip it’s been since 92.

Even as a staunch atheist, I find alot of value in that statement, since I'm in a creative field of study this made me reevaluate why I'm on the career path that I'm on.
rransomm listen to the j. mascis interview -- he tries to get j. to talk shit on his mom/dad, but he doesn't/won't it's pretty funny -- kind of a bottom feeder move, pretty sure he asks everyone that. talk about the work -- someone should tell him to fuck off.
+rransomm thank you!!!.... i was gonna comment and then it occurred to me ... SURELY some GREAT PERSON has already called him out on that lol THANK YOU lol
+Foxdiesolid other wise its much appreciated.... its cool to hear maynard talk about random shit that someone who is NOT a crazed tool fan would ask lol so i do appreciate the interview, its pretty fresh actually this interview is all in all awesome lol
I was just reminded of the bit in Mighty Boosh where Vince talks about all the major musicians working in pet stores at some point in their lives. Might be something to it.
This guy is right, If you are not a tool fan by now, you have missed the boat. The ship has sailed. I've been a fan of tool since I was 12 (1996), and I'm 31. Excluding "Undertow and the Opiate EP," I fervently awaited the release of each subsequent album. "Salival (out of print boxed set & DVD), Lateralus, and 10,000 days," we're all beautiful moments in my lives when I got the experience of buying the record, the opening of the packaging expereince, and then losing myself in over an hour of brand new Tool. And this isn't even to mention four times spent catching them on tour since the "Lateralus Tour in 2001." So what I'm saying is Tool is a band that you really had to grow up with to fully appreciate their growth as a band. I'm sure you could go buy all their records and appreciate them to a great degree, but you will never have experience of coming of age with Tool's music. Tool for me has been like a 17 year pilgrimage through my adolescence and early adulthood. Sorry guys, but it's true, you just can't catch up with someone who has their childhood influenced by Tool's career.
I became a fan in 2009 and though i can't really get to see them live in their prime, you get a perfect sense of how it started and grew by listening to the albums and watching live shows on UA-cam. It's just as fascinating but probably not as raw.
When the guy started asking questions about Maynard's mom and stepfather, I kinda winced. Maynard handled it really well, though. I admire people who don't wear their emotions on their shoulders and talk about bad memories in a casual, calm way.
All joking aside, I know nothing about him. I only have heard of him. I was interested in this because of MJK, not Marc Maron. So don't hold it against me.
This is an AWESOME interview. Some of my favorite vocalists and comedians in the same room together, and it's hilarious. Plus it was really informative, I enjoyed it a lot.
Not true, he dicks with a lot of people he knows are just there for the job. I've seen a lot of MTV News interviews where it's clear he's trolling the interviewers. Maron comes from that comedy circle, just like Bill Hicks, who was a posthumous contributor to Third Eye.
+mcpure90 They go together. Even MJK will tell you that. He is the biggest cynic of all in regards to his fans. He will tell you straight up they are all hopeless, angry, pieces of shit. I was one of them growing up years ago. The man hates how people believe he is god, that their lives are so shitty that they must portray someone they have never met, and know nothing about, as a deity. The man is a dick to his fans but he is a creative genius, so he gets a pass in my book.
Nice interview. This Summer I'd like to go to Jerome, which is a few hours drive from here, and check out his wine tasting place. And visit Sedona too.
Jealous if you saw them. I missed them that tour and the setlist....oh god i still want to jump into traffic when I think about missing it.....fucking third eye the grudge Parabola. Fuck. My. Life.
He's done a few good JRE ones too. But Joe unfortunately doesn't get thw humor. I've never seen someone get r/whooshes as much as Joe in those podcasts.
Yeah it's kind of crazy how these guys got together. Adam was recording guitar shit while working special affects. He heard maynards C.A.D. tape and wanted him to be the singer. Idk how they met Paul. But Danny...was just a roommate I think. He felt bad their drummer kept flaking so he said fuck it I'll play. He wasn't too into it at first. Until he heard them play. History was made.
Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer are the Bands Maynard sings lead. Each with their own sound and fans. Hard to pigeon toe him since he's a lover of comedy, wine, art, and music.
Im one of the many few that LOVES TOOL Saw them 2 weeks ago they rock. Im always listening to Tool and A Perfect Circle. trying to to get the Pucifer now
"Are you friends with Reznor?" "Um.....we met." Right, maybe you "met" on tour when APC was supporting NIN. Or maybe you met when you were together in a band? He's fun...
great interview , just for younger tool fans Maynard tried to be a comedian in i think the late 80s and he sucked but thank you because Tool is the shit
i always thought maynard was not funny at all any time he tried to be, it just would always come off as not funny. and im with you, thank god he wasnt funny at all because his voice was meant for singing
1:17:52 I wonder if Maynard listens to Breaking Benjamin. I doubt it, but that's a direct quote from Unknown Soldier. Or it's just coincidence and I'm overthinking and overanalyzing. (Separating the body from the mind.)
So am I the only tool fan who doesn't LOVE everything they release (Like 10,000 Days, for example)? I just don't get this love it or hate it take on tool.
lateralus was the last good album. 10,000 days had a few good songs but overall i was pretty disappointed. i saw em with my buddy and his dad--who was a huge fan--right after 10,000 days came out. my buddy's dad up and left half way through the set, shouting about how the new songs suck lol. but i'm with you man, one of my favorite bands (as more of a nostalgia thing, loved opiate through lateralus) too many people swing from their nuts.
Jim M sorry you suck at listening to music why dont you go and listen to mainstream bullshit instead of a real band like tool. 10,000 days is quite perfect. ill admit at first i didnt like every song they had from any album. but over time you should eventually find the reason why each song is close to perfect. like right in two. thought it wasnt good. but once you get it you realise how awesome it really is. so hopefully you get on the train or you can just listen to crap all day long
madmanjess i suck at listening to music because i didn't like 10,000 days as much as the other albums? i said that the album was disappointing to me--not that it was a shit album--and had a few good songs, but it has a LOT of filler bullshit, like lost keys and vigniti trees (to be fair, lateralus had its fair share of filler tracks as well). its one of those albums where i have to be in the mood to listen to it, unlike lateralus, aenima, or even opiate, which i can put on and just rock out. its just my opinion dipshit, i love tool--at least i thought i did, but apparently, according to you, because i don't like one of their albums as much as the rest of their discography. oh lordy, thank you for showing me the folly of my ways, idiot. as far as mainstream music, not that it matters, i don't listen to any of it. i love bands like neurosis, exalt, mogwai, red sparowes, baroness, torche, burweed, etc. check some of those bands out. you may end up like some of them, for instance, the members of tool list neurosis as an influence on their music. isis broke up a couple years ago, but justin chancellor recorded some songs with them and went on tour with them a few times. you know man, open your mind a little bit. people can have differing opinions and still respect people. except for you.
It's one thing for the guest to be discernibly brighter than the host. That happens a lot here. But when the guest is a lot funnier? Damn that's got to hurt a little.
lol dude can't even spell "Maron" right, should have spelled it Moron.. lol... Not because Marc is, Marc is great, so is Maynard. Kind of sad, for me, as a Toll devotee and APC fan since the Opiate days (both Tool's and mine lol) Because it sounds to me as if Maynard is just feeling the years, wants to relax, grow some grapes and get drunk! Shame that no wine ever made will EVER be as sweet as the lyrics that came from that man's mind and flowed from his lips...
I can sympathize with what you're saying but I also have to side with Maynard. The guy is sitting back and enjoying his victories in life---living the sweet life as best he knows how. He doesn't owe us anything. I can assure you, I respect the guy a hell of alot more (for being a family man, a man interested in selling a good product in commerce, and a good neighbor to other people.) as opposed to someone going down in flames as a drug addict and/or eventual direct or indirect suicide. The dark undercurrent of Tool mainly derives out of Adam anyway---the evil, ugly, menacing looking dude that paints black under his eyes. Another creative who believes that happiness actually stimulates his creative forces is David Lynch--he's an advocate of putting happiness above anything else--and that being miserable can only get in your way. I personally believe that misery does do something for art.
@@CalTrask73 uhm he doesn't paint his eyes. He's just naturally always looking tired (potentially from years of drug use and abuse)plus deep eye sockets. I've met him his eyes are just his eyes.
I love you, Marc, I really do, but you over-explain yourself sometimes. You don't need to justify yourself to anybody, just be you. Of course, I recognize this in you because I do it myself. I also know this isn't your channel and you'll never read this, but whatever. :)
Nobody said anything about the Bill Hicks dream. No reason not to believe it. If it is true that's pretty incredible!! Make sense though Maynard is obviously super human!!
Weird shit happens sometimes. They must have been close. I was having my first ever sex dream as a young teen right as I was about to stick it in the phone rang and it was the nursing home letting us know my great grandma passed away. Unrelated but still.
I wish that this had been a UA-cam podcast collab so that I could see him being angry at the interviewer because the interviewer is condescending. I know he was because f*** that guy
I dig Maynard James Keenan but i wouldn't follow his or anyone else's advise on who to pick for public office. we are dying out here and his problems are let the wine sit for another year or go to market now. people are worried how they are going to buy food and get to work.
I live in Grand Rapids. Grew up here. My older brother got a short lived gig as the lead singer in one of the bands Maynard is referring to.

Even as a staunch atheist, I find alot of value in that statement, since I'm in a creative field of study this made me reevaluate why I'm on the career path that I'm on.
you really gotta respect the open-mindedness of a guy who seems so certain of what he's doing artistically.
AJ Ellis being atheist does not mean not spiritual
AJ Ellis an atheist in art school....shocker.
isn't it enough to have a beautiful garden without having to believe that there are fairies at the end of it too?
I think the real problem is when people don't find existence magical already. I don't need gods or ghosts, I'm made out of stardust and there's beer.
This is the best interview with MJK I've ever heard, because it's not being conducted by some sycophant going "OMG WHY ARE U SUCH A GENIUS?"
You probably already know but there are the jre episodes with him on.
"I listened to tool for days! Filled my head with it! And all his other stuff!" Five minutes later: "You still talk to your mom?" Fail.
Lol

Marc Maron talks this way to everyone he interviews. "How was growing up in middle America? and so you're dad sucked, huh?"
I was just reminded of the bit in Mighty Boosh where Vince talks about all the major musicians working in pet stores at some point in their lives. Might be something to it.
Haha! Nice reference!
Sick interview!! Very candid on both parts. I love the free flowing pace of the conversation!
"I'm gonna talk to this cat like a guy." Same... with all my cats

From Major James Keenan, to MAYNARD James Keenan, to Vineyard James Keenan ... the evolution continues.

Highly unlikely he ever made the rank of major
*Private James Keenan rather which is fitting cuz hes so private lol

"He's like a hunter, Fisherman"
"The sun is shinning down again,
On the hunter, and the fisherman." -Sweat lyrics.
Just kinda did that.
The interview skills are immediately apparent, and the subject is interesting as hell. Amazing combination.
Maynard has such a culturally independent way of speaking.
A typical freethinker and universal mind and behaviour.
This is an AWESOME interview. Some of my favorite vocalists and comedians in the same room together, and it's hilarious. Plus it was really informative, I enjoyed it a lot.
The most open, and casual I’ve ever seen Maynard
Great interview, Marc Maron has found his calling. Love listening to his convos.
This was WAY better than I thought it would be. Great interview, Marc Maron! I'll now be looking into more from you.
What a great interview. Hats off to Marc Marin
With all the mystery about Maynard (self-created in most cases), Marc Maron is the only guy who got the man to open up for once.
For real, I still get a lot out of his podcasts w/ rogan tho. He goes deep, just in a different way thru talking about other things. He's a puzzle
crunchb3rry everyone he talks too you get that.
Not true, he dicks with a lot of people he knows are just there for the job. I've seen a lot of MTV News interviews where it's clear he's trolling the interviewers. Maron comes from that comedy circle, just like Bill Hicks, who was a posthumous contributor to Third Eye.
crunchb3rry I think you’re definitely into something. He opens up to people who actually care about what they’re asking
This is the first time I’ve heard Maynard laugh. And he laughs a bunch of times. That’s a true talent.
"Go fuck yourself Cabernet wine" lol I'd buy that wine.
That part about the running is in my opinion the most relevant part of the Interview.
Cool interview!
lol Maynard "fuck everyone" attitude in the bar created TOOL....who knew these little things can have such big results.
he put tool and angry teenage boy in the same sentence....oh god

Love both of these guys
LOL! You would....
Please tell me somebody wasn't cruel enough to name you "Indiana"......
you look like an old thurston moore.
This is Maynard's best interview..
He is open to the thing that gave him his character and that is comedy.
He's done a few good JRE ones too. But Joe unfortunately doesn't get thw humor. I've never seen someone get r/whooshes as much as Joe in those podcasts.
“The ex that moved out, she introduced me to both Adam Jones and Tom Morello.” HOLY SHIITT
Yeah it's kind of crazy how these guys got together. Adam was recording guitar shit while working special affects. He heard maynards C.A.D. tape and wanted him to be the singer.

Dude I wasn't expecting someone to mention The Flaming Lips... That's awesome!
"What your making wine, in the tub again?"
there is a crazy parallel to the joe rogan interview in this video and its comments
alexander arkum ikr
Made me miss Dave Brockie when he said for the people who LOVE TOOL, sounded like Oderus😖😭🤟🏾
WISH THERE WAS VIDEO
I like how everyone in the 90s assumed tool NIN and primus all hung out and Maynard’s like “yeah I met them once”
Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer are the Bands Maynard sings lead. Each with their own sound and fans. Hard to pigeon toe him since he's a lover of comedy, wine, art, and music.
after reading his book, there's a lot that sounds like it came straight out of this interview
Awesome interview, i could see myself shooting the shit with Maynard while drinking some wine and grilling out.
Omg this interview kicks ass on the rogan one
Damn big win Mr. Man
If my dad wasn't such a great guy Maynard would have been my go to.
Marc brings up Maynards dad a lot in this podcast. The meeting of two brilliant minds.
Im one of the many few that LOVES TOOL Saw them 2 weeks ago they rock. Im always listening to Tool and A Perfect Circle. trying to to get the Pucifer now
Did you get your feet wet by smashing grapes?
I can't believe he started asking Maynard about his step dad!! Aka the reason Prison Sex was written.
Weird place to start speculating about lyrical meaning
Making beer (ancient Babylon/Sumeria) came before wine.
marc looks like justin here
I thought that was Matt Berninger from the National...
DUDE YOU BLEW THIS INTERVIEW !!! REALLLYYY!!!
Yes, I FUCKING LOVE TOOL. Also, Wayne of the Lips is an awesome guy...
I always wondered about The Thirteenth step album, now i know...
Remain calm, everything is under control.
And at art school you decided to sculpt the naked ladies🤠
Thats exactly what he looked like at the concert an older weirder gentleman into sports for some reason, now I see why... lol
these two are a good match. if youre a big tool fan, I suggest watching maron's show on netflix
Brian, in a band called "born without a face"

OH SHIZZLE MARC MARON IS SO UNDERRATED
The only man to interview both Maynard James Keenan AND the president of the United States of America.
"Are you friends with Reznor?"
"Um.....we met."
Right, maybe you "met" on tour when APC was supporting NIN.
Or maybe you met when you were together in a band?
He's fun...
It's called being diplomatic...
I hate when interviewers talk all over the people they are interviewing
great interview , just for younger tool fans Maynard tried to be a comedian in i think the late 80s and he sucked but thank you because Tool is the shit

Odds are they quoted it from an author or something. Lots of writers do that shit. But BB def listens to tool
The thing with Maynard is that you never know if he's fucking with you or being honest. Lol
I just ended the chat in that moment. Scrolled down, first comment
@57 minutes in, he says they were signed in 89-90 after nirvana...Nirvana broke in fall of 1991.
