Puscifer - First Ever Performance by MJK - Momma Sed - 2/13/09 Las Vegas

[thunderbirdscarlett]

MY MOMMA SAYS OBAMA!

[jakesnake12345]

I prefer this version, its more darker sounding.

[tweetyps]

I heard vagina!

[iambensblacklung]

He's an amazingly diverse vocalist, an idea supported with every new project in which he chooses to participate. The fact is that this music has survived constantly throughout heavy comparisons to both tool and nin.

[Bromsparza]

I <3 mjk

best singer/songwriter/performer of our time

[jeremytodd77]

Crazy ass stage set up. I love that Maynard is in the TV. He's such a killer singer.

[taoid69]

was a great show!

[sol462]

This video annoys me every time that I watch it because there's some idiot yelling "IN YOUR VAGINA!" at the beginning.

[TheScrody213]

This awesome! The day this was recorded was my birthday and I wished I could have seen this show...funny how life works out, :-D

[hellomynameismaxwell]

This is the recording they used for their New B sides album "C is for...(insert sophomore genitalia reference here). Its awesome to see this! Plus i went to the show in SLC !!! BEST SHOW EVER!!!!

[masterjalhays]

Security came by and he put the camera down...

[mondin777]

nah, i just got board with this version. the album version is the best, for all i know brad wilk and tim could have came out to perform it. i do like th ehip hop version, its a nice take

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

@mondin777

Imo, it's wrong to compare all four versions of this song. All four of them differ completely from one another. Tbh, I think they're all equally as great (although I have a slight preferance for Tandimonium Mix for the sheer fact that it's my favorite rolling song).

[lamusician1]

i just saw them in houston orch seats row 1 seats 5-9a Yea they rocked

[lukester5280]

dear Sludgy9,

there might be some truth to what you're saying, dude, but that doesn't stop you from being an asshole, and no one wants to hear it anyway, so what's the point?

quit commenting on youtube. don't do it again. in fact, quit getting on the internet. go throw your computer away. quit talking to people. just don't open your mouth again. ever. go live in a fucking hole and make snide fucking irritating comments silently to yourself. goddamn

[Warchild281]

is it really that hard to keep the dam camera still!?!

[x106erFreakx]

good question^^

[pathologicalglances]

Probably would be. Is palming it and not looking at the screen to avoid detection by security. He did a better Job than I did at Them Crooked Vultures and got the whole fucking song. I wouldn't be complaining fuck face and if you don't like it go buy a ticket to the show.

[Warchild281]

lol wow, heres an idea... dont get so butt-hurt over youtube comments.

[DragonBallPaul]

lol wow, heres an idea... don't be a whiny bitch

[78hiwatts]

saw them last night in Vancouver, I'm trying to recover today. awesome is all I can say.

[TheSeig3]

What's the whole thing with the screens?

[Necro280]

Puscifer is supposed to be different. It's an entire creation of Maynard's, not your everyday stuff. If Maynard sees it fit, he will use it.

He also does not like being publicly seen... could be some reason.

[daniels80]

as always, it's all about the music.....

[dtznyc1]

I have 5th row to the Dallas show just b4 thanksgiving. can't wait. I'll be Drunk With Power

[HarlotBug3]

Thanks for posting...and for making me think twice about buying tickets only to have loud idiots ruin it.

[bullybeer]

Fuck YES! just scored 5th row seats at halloween BABY!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!

[bullybeer]

Dude HIS wine Is called "Caduceus" Google dat shyt! I have a bottle,...04 Cab/sangiovease mix. VERY KILLER! Im saving it for a special occasion! Check it out!

[boopboopdebang]

The footage could be used for "Blood into Wine."

[Aurelius27x]

its weird hearing this with Maynard singing an octave or so higher... I think he shouldve had a background layer of the deep voice off the album and harmonized with it live in the higher range.

[popsid451]

heard these vegas shows will be on DVD anyone know the date?

[stinkfist420]

No, but that would explain why the film maker saw cameras there. I would like to know as well if anyone happens to know.

[otoole420]

This song brings a sense of euporia and slight chance of hope to life

[dergru]

meh....the other version's better.

[Teslacoil33]

To me it has the same airy spacious feeling as Disposition.

[tomkat1211]

i like this version much better than the original

[Metalgear216]

This sounds different from the album version, this one sounds more like Parabol. It's awesome though.

[wrangler34]

Hell yeah. He went on record telling people to not expect the performances to typically mimic the record. He basically wanted to have Puscifer improvise the live stuff. It does seem reminiscent of Parabol.

[SKeletaLzOMbie]

You can hear a professional recording of this performance on puscifer's official site. Check it out.

[ToOlOGT22]

where do i click for that, i cant find it

[IcdBlade]

Please spay or neuter your children.

[Davidoct]

This is my favorite Puscifer song! Love Maynard! Hope I'll enjoy his wines soon!

[davidholmes282]

about that, do you know what name of his wine is?

[Davidoct]

Caduceus is the name.

[davidholmes282]

thanks dude

[HugelyBig]

I thought his wine was called Arizona Stronghold..

[Kothoga666]

He's part owner of Arizona Stronghold but produces his own wine under Merkin Vineyards and the Caduceus label. Nagual del Judith is his first entirely home grown wine.

[TaOpOcL462]

very informative thank u been wanting a bottle of judith well 2 one to drink one to save forever!!!!!! long live the vagina that birthed this man lol jk

[ltjfan6]

thats just the name of the vineyard

[HugelyBig]

Ahh, right.

[Miyalein]

Wow...I don't know what to say

that's just fantastic

One of the best live performances I've ever heard...

[madamecobalt]

these lyrics are genius! There is NEVER anything less than genius from Maynard!

[trustinme25]

i agree... he is one of the greats.. lol

[Trentholic92]

I really appreciate you recording these videos! I'm in Chicago and with school i couldn't make it to any Puscifer shows. Thanks a ton man!

[Lickingodliness]

Absolutely incredible, and that doesn't even begin to describe how amazing this is...

[Ritinii]

Excelente!

I love it!*.*

[Jurdoc024]

"this is as close as i will probably ever get bc i dont think any band cares about Virginia" hey man how do you think i feel, living in alaska? tool came up in 2003, and got banned because my town is full of backwards-ass dipshits.

[xrdp32]

i hope somebody posts just the live audio version of this song without the retard people in the audience

[drummerboyfj]

theres an audio version of this on puscifer website

[danoli3]

wow I must say the audio is amazingly good quality. did u have a external mic attached to ur camera? or what camera do u have?

[KetchupSquirt]

very cool

[XxXBoogurlXxX]

i was sooo there :) amazing

[nimo21]

bah! I wanted to be so badly! Damn you college! Congrats though, I hope he decides to tour with Puscifer in a few more major cities so I can make it somewhere closer.

[D2shiz]

fresh breath tnx!11

[rrupcich]

Thank you for recording and posting this. Maynard is amazing

[starletskye82]

his voice,,, oh lordy this is good, i hope he brings this to oz

[Hamburgers585]

I really appreciate him recording these, chill out dude it's not like people are going to be like "oh sweet puscifer is coming to town....but im not going to go see them because I already saw a shitty youtube video of them live" maynard's not losing much money off of this, this is just for people like me who live on the other side of the country and can't make it but can only dream of seeing them live so this is as close as i will probably ever get bc i dont think any band cares about Virginia

[1muminka]

Jesus! this is beautiful! this voice this guitar ...mmm... ~~(*_*)~~

[reznorfan15]

this album is brilliant. def my fav of all of his projects, not to diss tool or apc.

[Tazwegian]

Do you listen to other industrial style bands? if so which ones, I am new to the genre and I really love Puscifer but don't know of any similar bands.

[reznorfan15]

check out: Battles, Holy Fuck, Shellac, and Zach Hill. also worth mentioning would be Octopus Project, Peeping Tom, and Lamb.

[Tazwegian]

cool thanks very much!

[Davidoct]

This is my favorite Puscifer song. Maynard... Thank you for Tool, A Perfect Circle and your tasty wines Caduceus!

[TheBiddleMan]

Is it just me but i think puscifer would be cool shit live...

Translates alot better to live... i guess its more a live style of music. Maynard knew what he was doing when he said he intended puscifer to be this type of show

[Hamburgers585]

yeah but it really appears to have basically the same live setup as tool

[pathologicalglances]

Man you're retarded. Have you ever actually been to a Tool show. The screen in front of Maynard has a video camera linked to his mic so you can see him singing. None of the members of Tool are ever shown on screens at their shows. The focus is to keep the attention off the performers. From what I've seen on this video and others that direct opposite of what goes on at a Tool show happens at a Puscifer concert. Stage positions are similar but that is only so Maynard can hear and match pitch

[JustTryin77]

wtf... im glad you posted this its very cool... but maynard is fucking up his career man

[entrepreneur7]

I don't think Maynard needs to worry about that...something tells me he's not worrying about his "career"...he can pretty much do whatever the fuck he wants

[thesandband]

Thank you very much for this. I was trying to come to Las Vegas from Italy only for this, but it was too much difficult for me. So thanks a lot for posting.

[keenank]

thanks dude. you did a huge favour to humanity..xoxox

[invu4uraqt26]

i went to the friday and saturday shows, they rocked! thank you for taking the risk so i can remember it all over again! i tried but they found my camera! thank you so much! now i can show my friends what they missed out on! you rock! peace love 'n' hugs!

[EscpdFrmPsykward]

Amazing quality man. Good work.

[Electric1Shadow5]

is the reason you pointed the camera down because of security walking by or something?

[mondin777]

yea and i was ummm fucking chillin in vegas at the first performance ever aka a rock show...just be glad u saw what u saw...some of u guys are such fuckin ball busters, just be glad u heard it and fuck the video, such terribly stupid comments

[edwin00420]

i, for one, trully thank you for taking the risk and sharing with us. being from alaska, I only got to see TOOL once. it is nice to see some unique performances. once again, thanks.

[CRAZYASS4EVER]

@mondin777 Agreed. Thanks for the video. And I don't get why anybody has to see whats going on. True musicians will enjoy what they hear and clearly there are too many idiots that feel you have to be a professional videographer. Good footage man..

[kimsjellys]

The audio is priceless! The footage could be of some dudes buttcrack standing next to you and I would still love this. THANK YOU!!

[Recovrd1]

Thanks alot man, this took some major cojones' THANKS!!! This is awesome!

[purplesarah87]

Thanks for taking this major risk! Nice to get a preview on a (hopefully) future dvd!

Oh and I would disable comments by Sludgy9, seems he has nothing better to do that to troll this video and try to piss people off.

[anyonebutyouNjersey]

his bio on puscifers' myspace basically says he doesn't care about your judgement this is mainly something for him and it's creative as hell and unique in it's own right so for those of you who dis it then i dont know what to tell you, stop worrying about other peoples careers (clearly he's succeeding by the way)

anything he creates turns into a materpiece

[FUUPTHEA]

Truly Once in a lifetime? How do you know. THank you Mondin for ruining my live experience.

[acason4]

I fucking love this tune.....badass!!!

[audioslave6111987]

not a good song. at all.

[992171B]

yes it's a huge PIECE OF SHIT... you genius

[torrentrain]

Kind of surprised that you captured this footage.. but doing so, has cured my curiousity about the show in general.

Although this project is not something that I like.. I do like this song...

On a more positive note... James does have alot of creativity.

[krxray]

ty ty ty, i saw the last show on the 15th, so amazing. i flew from hartford just for Puscifer. there was a small trailer on stage with cameras inside, frickin' hilarious, and a campfire w/ marshmellows a toasting! i love how unique each song was, not just a cd played loud. thanks for the post.

[alainpinel4]

thanks so much for posting this--i would have done anything to be there, but just couldn't swing it.

here's a treat for all you mjk fans, like me.

i met him briefly in Oakland on 1/3/09 at one of his Whole Foods wine bottle signings. Security was tight there too. they wouldn't even let people wear jackets in the store. anyhow, i had one moment to ask him 1 question as he signed my bottle. I asked him what he did for new years eve. his response: "I watched CSI on my itunes and went to sleep."

[Toolguitarplayer]

sludgy9 i have no idea who u are. and i really dont care. i see what u mean. but im sorry to tell u that tool's music and the other projects maynard has are just amazing. why? becuz he cares for his music. he makes what he likes and somehow ppl love it. i Love tool with all my heart becuz of things u wouldnt understand with ur narrowed mind. so if ure frustrated ur 15 mins just slipped and u didnt do shit then..just find something else. letgo.ppl love the music. ifudontthenbackoff! :)

[Toolguitarplayer]

fifeslife dude. puscifer cannot suck compared to T=o=o=L becuz is completely different. is a party project is fun is dance to this goodshit kinda like. u know. Apc and tool is a more personal of maynard you know what i mean?. but is all good.

[fifeslife]

Sludgy9 is actually Billy Corgan; jealous of Maynards success, and his strong voice. Just a little, bald, metrosexual little bitch. However, Puscifer sucks compared to TOOL and even APC.

[beautifuldeviant]

Great audio. I loved this performance of Momma Sed, so melodious. Maynard has such a beautiful voice, it makes for a great lullaby.

[torrinater]

Maynard should stop wasting his time and get back with Tool or A Perfect Circle. But don't get me wrong, this is still cool and it still has Maynard's angelic voice

[ridethespiral23]

true true

[Sludgy9]

Haha, its such fun to see you all get so fucking stirred up in defence of a little weed who seems determined to make worse and worse music and get more and more money for it.... i speak my mind, and all these fucking sheep get offended when i dare to criticize their master. Pathetic.

[purplesarah87]

He's not doing it for the money. If you actually looked into it you would know he is doing it partly for himself and partly to show other bands the way to go without using record companies.

[D3adleavez]

sludgy is obviously a lonely man, who has nothing better to do than travel the interwebs in search of things that he hates only to post rediculous comments. Enjoy your hand sludgy9.

[Funzandfoodnecessary]

You guys need to not worry, like completly ignore the stupid people writing stupid comments, it doesnt do this page justice, feel proud to know your better then those people, your not gonna change there minds, most people arent like that. Anyway, this is so damn beautful I should cry!

[thesnizhammer]

Does anyone know who made up his live band?

[Sludgy9]

Dizzle,what a shitty attempt.But it is clear I have pissed some off here by stating that James is simply degrading himself further with this shit. And its such fun, to see the maynard blowing morons,all getting up in arms. This does bring a smile to my face, its like i offended Islam and some rag headed dumbfuck is accusing me of heresy (or the equivalent). Oh how you cry and moan when some of us with some taste don't like the shit you adore.And how the laughs roll to think you'd pay for this..

[psaionyx]

so uhhh... what is it that you listen to?.. just a question.. cause i'd like to know if they have the ability to cross genres... and STILL make great music.. and have a cult following for like i dunno the past what 10 years..... and still remain more or less unknown to the "mainstream".. also uhh they have to have an ability to act... and make there own wine... and also inspire thousands of people to wake up each morning... this man earns my respect.. for staying true to what he's always said

[tr763]

if maynard farted some of you homers would think it was an awesome show. the bottom line is that this new material sucks dick....

[penguinhumper]

it's not suppose to be good dumbass. this is all a joke dumbass. stop taking everything so serious dumbass. get up off your ass create something better dumb ass. go suck your own pathetic small dick dumbass.

[tr763]

let me get this straight....your theory is that Maynard purposes write shitty material then spends his time and money tourning to promote this shitty material because he thinks it's funny? Are you retarted or a crack addict? My guess is both.

[absinthegrey]

I counted 5 'dumbass', you might want to work on that.

[dizzle05243]

Sludgy9... your angry and i think everyone here gets it. What i dont know is why you are angry. Regardless, i wish you well, ive been there. But it is time to move on with your life and let it go. The worlds changing rapidly and though it may be scary, we all have to change with it. I wish you well.

[chemgirl96]

I love this version, It's so beautiful!

[cookielessoreo]

im so jealous i didnt get to go to this show. but thats ok becuase i just got to met maynard today!!!

its ture

[purplesarah87]

Aw cool, where? And what did he say? =)

[Sludgy9]

Jbeamguy, seems i really touched a nerve!

Really original, with the Hicks quote, you dumb Tool worshipping motherfucker. I can see you're one of these fanboy fuckholes, who adore every piece of shit these assholes spew forth.You encourage their self indulgence and fat-headedness with your lack of discerning. Im sure you'd buy a maynard turd, if you could find one on Ebay. My factual comments stand and continue to be relevant. I advise you to aerate your head with a large calibre weapon.

[MrZebra69]

I like to think I'm a pretty critical person, and I actually like the Puscifer material. A lot. Is this impossible in your universe? Is anyone who likes this music lumped in as a Maynard-blowing moron?

[songcaller12]

sludgy9,

just do yourself and all of us a favor, and shut the fuck up

[AvalonOak]

You know...this is just the tip of the iceberg from this man....he is like a fine wine...he just keeps getting better with age ....Great version of this song...can really hear the future here....

P.S....Thanks for your bravery in taping this for us all....not all of the fans could make it there to see and hear this...

Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sludgy9]

Never paid any attention to it. I just know fag-nard there is doing more bullshit.

[Sludgy9]

Um, is there any chance this little queer will actually go back to his real band, and crank out something worth listening to-for the first time since Aenima? Shit, i forgot- he's too busy with his fucking wine (what a joke) and having gaggles of money hungry groupie whores who just want to get their faces in pics with him. Maybe someone should remind this dick, his bread and butter is Tool-all other things he's ever done apart from APC (the two original cd's) have been fucking laughable.

[mooneyes]

if you havent noticed by now...puscifer is a joke.

[Snipe121]

way to take the time out of your sad life to write that... puscifer is just something he did cuz he was bored in between albums.. and whats wrong with wine? the man has a passion for it.. i dont understand what so funny about it. your the only joke.

[reverendmatt666]

Maynard and the rest of the guys from Tool may well be the last true artists in the biz.. And as artists, they are free to do whatever turns them on. If you dont get it, thats fine. But dont get all gestapo on them. If you dont like it, dont listen. I went to the sunday show and I thought it was awesome. Im not sure it would work outside of Vegas, but it was perfect for Sin City.

[Sludgy9]

LOL- last true artists!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh you absolute sheep-fucker!!!!

[psaionyx]

and how is he degrading himself for doing what he's always done???? you may not like it... and if thats the case.. why are you even listening to this anyways.... i believe you are the hypocritical heretic on this side of the internet

[ratzmoose10]

Spoken by someone who doesn't listen to much music. Tool is great but there are lots of true artists out there.

[reverendmatt666]

Yup. You got my number pal. I dont even listen to music actually. I just come on these things and tell people that theyre wrong for liking ANYTHING. I hope your mom gets hit by a bus

[poolball47]

@Sludgy9

ur are truly retarded cause Lateralus and ten thousand days were amazing and the fuck if apc wasnt the shit as well so he does a few side projects who gives a rats ass what he does god i wish u were in my convoy so i could leave you dead in the desert people like you are just little fuckin leaches (hint thats what the song ticks and leaches is about u stupid fuck and hooker with a penis) there about people like you who think they know go fuck yourself and die

[poolball47]

@Sludgy9

oh and tell ur mom thanks for the bj asshole

[MJKsfuturegirlfriend]

Damn, wish I could've been there...

[w26895]

wow, beautiful version, but i think i prefer the album one, still great version, MJK is always awesome. oh man, how i wish i was there...

[bloodwh0re]

soooo jealous

[birdamanda76]

Was there for this show and this by far was my favorite performance. though Julieete's vocals rocked, too!

[the2989]

If you can make a DVD of these songs, that would be awesome!! Especially if you put it on a torrent. Just be sure to give yourself credit :P

[adamm1s]

great MJK vocals....beautiful version of this song.

[VidWiz]

OMG i wanted to go. i'm going to the next 1.

[NRGzer]

Great stuff! Wish i could've been there!

[rawritzsam]

P.s. How'd you get that in?!

[rawritzsam]

Amazing quality.

[austinjam76]

gorgeous version

[Yast3r]

Wow, I love this version of the song. I wish I had been there.

[Trommel35]

Maynard is the Best
