C.A.D.-Early Sober (Maynard James Keenan 1987)

[mcfurly]

great job!

[kalookookoodoug]

1:49 "i suck? ok yea i suck thanks"

[SirLokiChuffingtom]

Maynard should have let the drummer wear his wig.

[1FACEBOOKING]

oh, Gawd the band kinda struggles here. but Maynard knows where he wants to go with the song. and he can see it through that terrible band. Brilliant quite frankly.

[BubbaNintendo]

Ohhhh boy



[horrorview]

The seeds of Maynard are definitely sewn here. The stomp, the borderline-simian dance moves. It's an interesting peek into the process of becoming MJK.

[jojjo223]

don't know if it's just the quality....but this is sooo bad lmao. it's still damn cool how he re-used lyrics for sober though. love his creativity. definitely sticking to Tool, though ;-)

Spiral Out \m/

[Snakepit4321]

lol everyone in this video is damn proud of it... except maynard

[djclouser]

The crazy thing is, even though "Sober" is a far better song, it sounds like this early incarnation has some awesomely extensive lyrics. I wish I could understand them, but still...

[sulriel1213]

This is just what it takes to rise to your own potential, don't stop because others may not see what you do. Tired of all the critique. How can you of an 87 video? His band is fucking hilarious though. Maynard is too for that matter!

Believe in yourself... or don't mind being a fool in front of people.

Either way, ride the spiral to the end, you may just go where no one's been!

[moosehose]

Hahaha! I like Tool's version better. The way he sings here reminds me of Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo, only faster. Maynard was so fucking cute!

[nuhsing]

One cannot be held accountable for what happened in 1987. The 80's were an odd decade. My opinion of Maynard does not change. If yours does, grab a yearbook from 87.

[parrakeeto]

im not sure what to make of this.

[psychopueppi1]

low quality video and sound but high maynard style... thumbs up for his golden hairs!!!

[chipnathan1975]

Herbert's as all pro as gods should be blessed be us for our technology

[TheHUMANIDEE]

Fashion has gone full circle. Guys and Girls are wearing MJK's exact get-up and their hair like that too... Gawsh he's young there.

[Uzingniga20]

So this was the start for Maynard. This sounds nothing like the sober I know, but it's awesome!!!

[jimbobanalbeats]

What.. the fuck.

[CrashN2Me1000]

Not at all sad over the demise of C.A.D.

[EndridCold]

O-H M-Y  F-R-E-A-K-I-N-G G-O-D ~!

[ge0metr1xx]

it was 87 after all... this is inspiring to see

[MindIntrusion]

is that black guy jamin on a stick!!??

[MindIntrusion]

lyrics?

[dano555666]

What if that blonde guitarist IS Adam?

[BansheeIsland]

I like new Sober, which is old Sober, but newer than this one...... I don't know, but I can't stop watching this and iTunes is open. NEED NEW SOBER NOW!!!

[booyabooyaboom]

I think it's safe to say the bass line improved a bit between this version and the Undertow version.

[Todd101176]

It's nice to see some of the raw material before it was introduced to the symbiotic elements that when combined produced the fine alloy we know and love today. . . Maynard is not going to be happy about this however. . .

[3Dmultimedia1]

The whole time I thought Adam wrote Sober. I just got mind fucked.

[ichwillblut1]

Who is the snooze of a drummer? Danny would drum with his ribs...and make him eat his own heart! lol

[nickjr27]

[commonsparrow]

id fuck me

id fuck me hard



[TheSpiralingOutsider]

I...can't...stop...watching...­this. 

[REVAMPtheindustry]

[toolguy8806]

Wow... What a great find this was. :)

[Letiferify]

sounds like every time he sings in tool

every. damn. time.

[redfistaor]

what has been seen....can not be unseen.....

[OhRlyRly]

I think the wrangler jeans fit better than the spandex lol.

[STRIFIST89]

Bunch a Geeks.

[lukester5280]

@STRIFIST89 right? it's wonderful

[Lexia89]

[LabelABD]

[theishjort]

[xeroinfinity]

@LabelABD, Duuuuh ! who else would have wrote it ? lol

[LabelABD]
