Maynard Keenan Interview

[Cerrani91]

I cant frickin wait for the new album, whenever it comes.

[HeuristicThought]

@vaerah I don't think because he can't scream as loud as he could in some ranges when he was younger has he "lowered the bar" in any way whatsoever.

You get weak in one range of singing you just go to another and how beautifully harmonic the new Pusc, record and live shows are proves that. I've seen recent live shows, of Tool and pusc.,+ you can't fool that. Unless you have done the same I don't know how to relate. peace.

[deadreck024]

Maynard is good at everything he wants to do he sold his soul remember lol...J/K

[HeuristicThought]

His voice is better than ever, go see a puscifer show

plus he is doing just fine if not awesome with some of his most hardcore tool songs this tour (2012)

Why  would 6 people thumbs up that he is "past his glory days"....

get your ears checked

[Vaerah]

@HeuristicThought His voice was angelic and pristine during the Aenima/Salival years and even a ways beyond, but to me the haunting angelic appeal has started to escape him, and it's perfectly understandable at his age. He still sounds great but the bar must be lowered.

[shitfacedwaffle]

I just saw Tool in Reno the other weekend and honestly playing songs so rare like Hooker With a Penis and Pushit plus songs so loved like Fortysix and Two or Jambi, The band and especially Maynard just went all out and did the best I've ever seen. He missed one verse on Lateralus but honestly who the fuck cares when you're watching Tool in 2012. Absolute dream come true for me.

[sonicscreamingblue]

@shitfacedwaffle Your name made me choke on my cereal.

[shitfacedwaffle]

@sonicscreamingblue ;D glad I could help! 

[darkglamour666]

@shitfacedwaffle aewsome!

you wouldnt happen to know if there coming to glasgow would you :)

[shitfacedwaffle]

@darkglamour666 Na, I honestly didnt even know there was a tour till a friend toldme, and the only concert dates i saw were on t-shirts at the show. sorry :/

[PSCreativeGaming]

@pwnegetime true.

[RoyalGerg]

how old is this interview?

[TheGizmoTruck]

"heat.. cold snow.. politics" XD

[antiworldrecords]

I know a few people that would kill to sit and drink a glass of wine with maynard(including myself). And without asking a bunch of idiotic questions! FUCK YOU CARSON DAILY!!

[4409supporter]

@antiworldrecords Only because you wouldn't be able to form complete sentences.

[antiworldrecords]

@4409supporter What the fuck ever. I can talk about some higher level shit then carson daily's dumbass.

[robthebank1987]

I was up in mt mingus elk hunting hoping to see maynard..

[iWentToNam]

maynard seems kinda buff these days hahaha

[c23am]

It's amazing what Maynard has accomplished in his life creatively, for 15 years I've been immersed in it, it's just kinda sad almost that these people actually age to the point where they can no longer keep up with re-capitulations, but also, in a way, they've already re-capitulated these great songs so many times that they've kinda done it enough and have therefore contributed their part to music, to art, to history, and what more can we ask of them.

[SmiffWit]

It is a singular fxckin' ultimate poke-in-the-Eye for anyone who actually has a soul, that Carson is the one who gets to do this interview. Sin.

[SuperPainal]

I will not apologize after saying this; "Carson is an idiot. Every question he conjured was completely absent minded. I am so very glad his career is short lived just like our very lives.

[pwnegetime]

true of false: Maynard, Danny, Adam and Justin are retiring Tool after they tour and release their newest album this upcoming year. heard this rumor, don't know if it's true or not. ANZERS PLZ

[michaelrobbins1]

@pwnegetime don't think anyone the has answer to that but listening to Maynard say is voice is almost gone it's a good possibility 

[arkham2498]

@pwnegetime False from an exact quote from maynard about tool "we'll be making music together till we die, even if we never write a new album

[DsexLive]

Interview probs went for 2 hours, and the best bits they got out of maynard was 7 mins haha

[GroinsItchin]

Man I love this guy! The world could use a few more Maynards

[ISLaughTyI]

can anyone tell me the song at 5:05?

[BiggerCityDreamz]

@ISLaughTyI - 3 Libras.... My favorite song ever by APC.

[SchizoSync]

Great interview, but my main question is... is he hiring?

[cblazer]

I hate to say this but if he would get some pain pills only while on tour he could push his throat back to where it was it would take a lot of training on stage but those pills would allow him to push it ...lol with out pain and resetting his voice strengthening his muscles and what not

[jpmwolf91]

6:25 ROFL ROFL ROFL. I've made that mistake before...

[Medvich]

3:40 wat

[RuneskysClassics]

push the envelope 

[264zn]

@RuneskysClassics watch it bend (10 years later haha)

[11ethan111]

i seen tool earlier this year he seemed pretty good at singing

[lateralsx7]

well he still has an excellent voice,even if I miss the raw power he had back then in the 1995-2001 lives

[mo28mabini]

I saw some of the clips of the recent tour last year and the vocals were not the same anymore. I'm surprised he admits it. But I'm happy for him with his vineyard. I'm happy I got to see him in his glory days. ..

[JeranimoJames]

Nice, they left "Fuck your God!" uncensored.

[Joehand87]

I'm so glad that maynard has decided to stop solely focusing on growing his fucking wine, and continue with music, particularly APC!

[jenntytx]

btw, C.D. says

"You know, he's not exactly a people person... as he self-admits" contrary to the info

[marcosrfarias]

@jenntytx Really?!!!!!

[jenntytx]

@marcosrfarias No. I just thought I'd be stupid and correct a mistake.

[aileanwazere]

@jenntytx Sarcasm? No?

[jenntytx]

Interesting!

[Plumbline84]

wtf



[metalnate]

Why is there always a d-bag interviewing someone that talented? Show some respect and prepare some thoughtful questions.
