Maynard Keenan Interview

[killazintrainin]

"do u ever get a sense of what your purpose is to be in this lifetime" "uh...no" hahaha dumb interviewer tryin to get intelectual with Maynard hahaha

[KMIN1994]

maynard is a hard man to understand i'm trying to figure out if hes stuck up or just unique minded

[1293chazz]

@KMIN1994 deffinently unique minded

[MrSnubzy]

@KMIN1994 he is a very smart individual with an incredibly wholistic view on the world. He is a man that stays true to himself and does not follow the herd like the sheeple we have today, he chooses to retain old world values and not submit to commercialism and become another mindless drone.

[dudebeer36]

He'd be an awesome councellor....

[Ceplir]

Hes a father you know, he has a son.

[Cgi966051]

maynard is just so good, he doesnt want to be worshipped ever though he is obviously worshippable.

[HippieDude1414]

maynard is just one of those super geniusus. i really want him to take an IQ test

[skepsi1992]

And regardless, what the fuck is wrong with gay people anyhow? Are you implying that the sexual status of a man should depict how he should be treated? If so.. just drop dead.. or go back in time to the 1700's and live with people who have the same ideals. Or better yet.. just drop dead.

[dondondondonism]

As good of a lyricist, singer and songwriter as he is, I have no respect for him. Read some of his interviews online. He has NO appreciation for anyone who admires him. This guy is possibly one of the top 10 most arrogant fucking assholes to ever be in rock. Period. He seriously thinks he's above his entire fan base, that his writing is beyond EVERYONES understanding. I love TOOL and their music, and even the rest of the band but I wish the guy fronting them wasn't such a fucking prick.

[Arasurgamer]

@dondondondonism and why not? fans are just blind dumnfucks that don't think for them selves...omg omg omg its maynard its maynard...pathetic

[dilated1990]

@dondondondonism maynard is against the idea of his fans praising him, because he doesnt think people should praise a rockstar as though they are a god, which a lot of fans do. I can see how he would depise his fans in that way.

[Xbox360Vault]

@dilated1990 lol Maynard is against everything in all honesty, if he wasn't the music and lyrics wouldn't be as amazing as it is!

[MrSnubzy]

@Xbox360Vault I know he is against facebook, but apparently he has a twitter account though. Similar to me, cant stand facebook and the losers that use it - atleast twitter has some relevant information to offer.

[robpalmer73]

@dondondondonism Agreed. He's a massive cunt. In fact i'm trying to name another artist like him. I want to be able to say that all avante garde musicians are as stuck up their own arseholes as he is. Zappa Wasn't. Patton isn't. Tom Waits isn't.

[jrkoff2000]

It doesnt matter what Maynard's sexuality is. He's a fucking musical genius. He's arguably the greatest rock singer today.

[TheExoticmoments]

he just well medicated....lol



[TheWishSounds]

I liked this band until I listened to him...what a jumped up dick! god like complex

[catspajamas01]

READ THE DESCRIPTION!

[zangoose33]

Well hey, I'm glad Maynard can be comfortable in a bra. He's a cool dude.

[BloodMusicTrinity]

i want his shirt in the last vid, awesome.



[iwatch420]

he's not gay he has a kid

[b0mbtrac]

he wears that shit to protect his son devo from turning into macaulay culkin

[MrBadApple999]

he actually said in a interview that the wigs, and costumes were so his son wouldnt be hindered by his dads "famousness"

[doggystyle040]

didn't someone say he actually was gay.?

[Bboyoriginalsin]

"The sooner people get to the point that they realise that the ugly stuff is just as important as the beautiful stuff. It goes hand in hand. Then we can get on with evolving"

preach, you brilliant crazy bastard

[jewelsW100]

Brilliant man.

[iloveVincentV]

i like his mowhawk

[pjicleanair420]

has an amazing voice, great performer

[jgoldie01]

this is the world in which we live today... full of eyes prying and judging everyone. no one can just be themself's without ridicule and thats why the world is so fucked up with people pushing their views on everyone because their narcissistic and have been told their whole lifes how amazing they are! EVERYONE LISTEN TO ME NOW! THE WAY THE MASSES THINK IS DRAGGING CREATIVITY DOWN! ITS BRINGING THE WORLD DOWN! EVERYONE THATS CLOSE MINDED SHOULD BE BURNED ALIVE AT THE STAKE LIKE A WITCH

[handmiadenofgod]

I doubt that Maynard is gay, but even if he was, I would have no less respect for him.

[Gehirnlutscher]

As a tribute to the best band in the world

/watch?v=TFRklSZQmko

[DBCUNHA]

I honestly couldn`t care less if he is gay or not...cabeça de jirico

[ArthBHx]

Rofl, anyone who gives a shit about sexuality definately hasn't taken enough acid.

[spartoob]

his words when written down flow so well, they are art. when he speaks though.. he seems kind of awkward.

in saying that I am a massive fan of maynards. I just thought I'd share what i percieve here.

[AirAssault7]

@spartoob I'm sure he feels awkward when doing interviews because the stuff he sings about disturbs him and he doesn't necessarily want anyone to misinterpret the lyrics. i.e. stinkfist, prison sex, 4 degrees.... He knows his stuff is rather controversial, and alot of people have accused him of homosexuality and such. My two cents... Like the saying goes, it's the pot calling the kettle black, and that's what the song The Pot is about.

[ozzmosis213]

just watched this cut up interview of lots of answers he has given over the past... then read some feed back, and i can see who knows and who dont, maynard is a very very intellegent person and speaks in a way that most dont/cant understand, just to understand him is a gift(think how many people actully use 10% of the brain), and thoses that dont, its there loss.... all in all no one is right now one is wrong, its just ur feeble point of view on the subject..

[dondondondonism]

@ozzmosis213 Wow

You're almost as conceded as he is. Haha douchebag.

[xHELLxxxHOUNDx]

Its not that Maynard is so intelligent, its that you are a mindless sheep. Love the music, but the dude is a total hypocrite. Don't act like you know him because all you know about him is what he's sold you sucker.

[LOOTbackwords]

look at his pupils! maynard for world leader 2012!

[drummer123987]

so he isnt a vampire.

[greendayaremyheros]

i swear maynard is one of the most intelligent guys on this planet..

[adhdkid918]

2:35, nice shoes Maynard. haha you're awesome

[NocturnalExistence]

Only knuckle dragging fascists would have a fart failed-ass leak if he were to say he's gay. Who gives a fuck?

[Mimasfriend]

The 3 Libras video suggests that he is not gay.

[GirlDed]

He's so soft-spoken, it's pretty incredible that such a powerful voice comes from the same person.

[eksyte]

I think the people speculating that he's gay are hoping they have a chance with him.

I only wish more good, serious, respectful lyricists were around today.

[KillorbeDeath]

he is great and i dont give a fuck if he is gay or not his music is the only good thing that have this world full of hate!!!!

[OSTOPPLAYINGWITHYOUR]

yea jones is the genius behind the music

[KleineJumbie]

02:39 I want those shoes...I so want them

[TerranMarineCore]

lol... look at wat hes wearing at 2:40

[MrJivePirate]

I like how he has diffrent hair in every shot. Fucking james man.

[xxAeternum]

MJK!

*bows*

since i started to listen to his music...damn my way of thinking changed so much...

ty.

[imtallhaha]

damn i want those shoes at 2:40 haha

[npopchock]

You must understand he is an artist and he is a shock rocker I saw him in a dress at one show he loves to destroy the macho image that most people associate his music with

[Funzandfoodnecessary]

Maynard, what more to say right, hey if you guys hate fags you would already no if he is or not....... hes not

[zakwingert]

note to self, gain mysteriousness by claiming either hermaugh or fag haha

[alex035]

hes making a statement

[joekelly101]

He's not gay, but would it even matter if he was? this is a pointless discussion, we should be talking about his greatness not his sexuality.

[linkzeldasheik]

@joekelly101 doesn't matter if hes gay, still good music right?

[Steadno]

nice plats

[nakahito69]

no he is a hooker ....clown has to change clothes

[clamb147]

You're a fucking retard, Nakahito you chineese fuck. Maynard is awesome.

[hasgot2skate]

is maynard gay???

[xamecke]

no maynard is not gay

[hasgot2skate]

well why is dressed like a girl, and why does he have fake tits??

[Sneezedoodle]

Let me get this straight.

You think he's gay because sometimes he wears wigs and bras while performing? Let me ask you this: When the hell do you ever see gay men walking around in wigs and bras, save for drag queens? Exactly. Never. Gay men don't wear womens clothing. Ah, ignorance.

[EgagLatsev]

@Sneezedoodle maynards not gay, but your a douche

[Sneezedoodle]

@EgagLatsev Aw, I think you mean "you're" a douche, child. Get off of YouTube and go crack open a grammar book.

[EgagLatsev]

@Sneezedoodle of course you would correct my grammer........ and ur a fucking doucher

[Sneezedoodle]

@EgagLatsev And spelling. "Grammar" Keep making yourself look like a moron, it's amusing.

[EgagLatsev]

@Sneezedoodle heh, the funny thing is you probly think sounding all smart on youtube makes you cool somehow. man i can just picture you sitting at your computer all day correcting peoples GRAMMAR! and jacking off too cookbooks......

do us a favor and end it, cut UR wrists, you i have a life outside youtube so i dont rlly give a shit what my grammar and spelling look like, for the last time goodbye you douching son of a bitch

[EgagLatsev]

@Sneezedoodle sorry i hurt your ego im done with u tho have a nice life and try to get outside more.......

[Sneezedoodle]

@EgagLatsev Says the person who insulted someone on the Internet for NO reason. Bye, bye, little boy.

[36crazyfists63]

@Sneezedoodle when do you see straight people doing that?

[Sneezedoodle]

@36crazyfists63 And when do you see gay men who aren't drag queens doing that? Exactly. They don't. Gay men are still men, and they wear mens clothing. End of story.

[36crazyfists63]

@Sneezedoodle he's just fucked up in the head

[ATSxGHOSTx]

@36crazyfists63 your fucked up in the head! look at what you have been saying, ignorant stupid shit! have you ever heard of originality? NOPE cause your a mainstream blood sucking leech...

[36crazyfists63]

@ATSxGHOSTx i like tool but i just think maynard is a fucked up faggot just like you

[ATSxGHOSTx]

@36crazyfists63 so you like fucked up faggots? okay there buddy, clearly you need some more soul searching to do...

[36crazyfists63]

@ATSxGHOSTx no i ''clearly'' said i like tool, as in there music.

[ATSxGHOSTx]

@36crazyfists63 good for you... now quit bitching!

[36crazyfists63]

@ATSxGHOSTx I wasn't I was responding to you

[ATSxGHOSTx]

@36crazyfists63 you have been bitching on this whole post... obviously you cant just close your eyes, listen to this and get to the next level.. :/

[36crazyfists63]

@ATSxGHOSTx i was replying to someone else before you started talking to me. your the one that started the bitching

[ATSxGHOSTx]

@36crazyfists63 you mean you were bitching at someone else before i started bitching at you bitching yes.

[36crazyfists63]

@ATSxGHOSTx whatever I give up your too fucking dumb

[ATSxGHOSTx]

@36crazyfists63 thank you :)

[kowalsik]

@Sneezedoodle

R U GAY?

[MsSeventhSin]

@Sneezedoodle 

[myproxyisabigpickle]

@Sneezedoodle One of my female friends friend used to date him. No, he's not gay, but apparently he really likes tea.

[Needlefeet17]

@myproxyisabigpickle I call bullshit, but if that's true, then that's fucking awesome. I would be ecstatic over having a friend who had dated him.

[bagelman10]

he's not gay!

[wertydudewerty]

in 248 it looks like he has tits. ha

[Szartard]

He does...

[RobLow41]

He does have fake one's on look at his shoes too

[lesserdrake]

lol

yea kinda gay really :(

look at his shoes in da mirror :O :(

[BruisedEyeSockets]

2:33 bitchtits?

[DurbanPoisonz]

2:44, nice shoes, man.

[mrgirl101]

You don't notice the tits either?

[jinsuen]

he's an admirable person let alone an awesome musician huh? I only just found their music, I can't believe i haven't listened to them before.

[JoeltheStampede]

When music is good, it is undeniable.  Appreciation.

[8532117]

I'd sell my soul to be in your shoes again.

Your inner journey has just begun. Be aware of the demons and enjoy your Angels' psychological touch.

∞

[chilppr]

Would be cool to spend an afternoon with this guy, u know... drinking tea and talk,about....stuff.:P

[Bl0odVomit]

Maynard is the smartest musisian alive

[johnnycondom973]

man tool are so good, they want me to stop listening to other music

[Joshandguitar]

lol i bet his iq outscores yours by at least 30 points.

[Enthros]

dude he's from my hometown!!!

[WidRandom]

Stfu everyone. Right now. If you hate Tool...then how fucking sad is your life when you make fun of them on Youtube? Fail! FUCK!

[Turkoglu67]

stfu internet wanabees. ur here to see maynard not talk about how fuked up u too are.

[superduperceral]

I think you be pleased to know that I am in fact from Africa (Ivory Coast), so therefore even if I wanted to, I coulden't possibly be a wannabe nigger, I would have to be a real one. You are the typical tool fan: A TOOL. What You think you're better because you listen to fucking tool? You automatically assumed I was below you because I said "nigger" (which makes me a wannabe...)?

Learn how to type.

[kcerdb]

Oh honestly.

Please read what you type before you post, especially when you're insulting someone else's grammar and spelling.

[RageIsMyTool]

hahaha no your right they dont give a fuck about me, nor should they. but i an no wannabe nigga like you so i spose in there eyes I would mount to a shit pile higher than you would. Your on the wrong page dipshit. i think u were spose to type in Eminem not Tool.

[superduperceral]

WEird ass nigga

[RageIsMyTool]

maynard is not a nigga, dont even compare him to those money hungry sell outs dipshits who make bullshit on a stick and act like their music has some sort of talent or meaning to it.

"FUK ALL THESE GUN-T0WING HIP GANGSTER WANNABES" = LEARN TO SWIM, LERAN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM.

[superduperceral]

No wonder he thinks most tool fans are in fact, tools themselves. I use nigga as a euphemism for basically anyone, because thats just a commonly used word where I live as it doesen't really carry a negative connotation. And when I say MAynard is weird I don't mean that in a bad way, so calm down.

[RageIsMyTool]

starters u dont know what he thinks cause i doubt u dont know him personally. and second just cause its a common word n ur HOOD doesnt make it accurate. whether its negative or not its still a shit word and an educated man would know that. just cause evryone there uses doesn't mean u have to. just like RATM said , "FUCK THE NORMS".

[superduperceral]

And just because everyone uses it doesen't mean I have to automattically stop using it. I'll do or say whatever I see fit. I'm not going to stop or start doing something just because I heard something in a song telling me to not follow authourity. I'm my own person and I'll do whatever makes me happy :)

Isn't free will great?

[RageIsMyTool]

TooL

[OrgoglioDeiManicomi]

the one!i love him so and so much!

[calder1985]

2:50, look in the mirror behind him, look at the shoes hes wearing, lol.

[psystar420]

very sweet videocut. thanks. love tool!!!

[dedclownsRfunny]

Who the hell cares if it's his natural hair or friggin Clairol Nice And Easy 104??????

Of course we can't know who he is on a personal level really, but from all accounts seen he seems like a really articulate, intelligent, and compassionate person. Not to mention a brilliant lyricist and singer of course hehe.

[Weiff1121]

DUDE this guy is a genius!

[ThirdEye2112]

its his real hair

look up "maynard from the 80s" on youtube

its footage of him with the children of the anachronistic dynasty

he grew that out then shaved it off

he wore the long haired wig and weird braided wig with APC

and now he's growing a mohawk again i believe

[imakeulaugh2232]

When he had the Mullethawk was that his real hair or just a wig? Because he used wigs a lot during Lateralus/10,000 Days but IDK about Undertow and just befor Aenima. Can someone tell me?

[1satyagraha1]

It's a wig. He's totally bald dude.

[MetalJohn21]

really, THIS is the biggest topic here? Really?

[KlausDieSchrecken]

He goes from being articulate and deep to absurd seamlessly.

[yadneerg777]

he likes usuing the word emotion alot doesnt he..

[adamania]

He's an emotional guy.

[Komodoensis]

Awesome.

[spartante83]

Thanks for posting.

[flowtar]

think there is a mullet under that hat?

[drunkship12]

2:35 he's got proper tits on him!

[RickyTomatoes]

LOL, I just noticed that.

He's a true clown XD

[KeegDiddy43]

and platforms

[Arethus]

"im not even sure if its music, its just what im doing now" - greatest phrase ever.

and the part about hate being completely separate from anger, is exactly what those people that dont like aggressive music should know.

they aint hateful, they're angry.

love tool, a perfect circle, and anything Maynard James Keenan might be working on atm.

[fattsanta]

Tose are shoes are awsome he is very cool!

[ReganDaly]

lord maynard, the new messiah

[alibaba0]

well i knew like, 7 months, when i found out! (Check the month i posted that comment)

[timkick]

is that cum hanging out of his mouth?

[nailshead18]

i loves zee Maynard!

[violinlova]

I think Maynard is a smart guy. I think he's one of the brightest rock stars alive

[tOoL660]

awesome view points...

[Shazbotben]

his glasses at the end are priceless.

[Greensmurf]

lol. Also check out the shoes at 2:30 (in the mirror)

[DrewNZ]

Great find - thanx, im surprised about his frankness and the fact he puts it out there that hes one part of a great thing....Humble ?

[xLocox]

Awesome find - cheers for that.

[alibaba0]

He's a cross dresser?!!
