[beavisTV68]

maynard is my favorite vocalist! he is awesome. :) TOOL RULES \m/

[HIPandiDONTmeanHOP]

No shit. My cat stepped on the keyboard and spelled "mjk" and I was like "fuckit, let's see what kitty cat found here..." Turned out to be home-dude from Tool. Not really a huge Tool fan but I liked Aenema. This dude actually sounds pretty cool, maybe I'll have to check sumore of their shit. Fuck I miss those 90's industrial haircuts.

[DeadEndStreet47]

What is the name of the book he's talking about, or how do you spell the author's last name?

[QAZu009]

@DeadEndStreet47

its called The Joyful Guide to Lachrymology by Ronald P. Vincent.

although im almost 100 percent positive its not physically a real book. could be wrong though.

[ToAsTmAn119911]

FREEDOM, TO MUMIA! FREEDOM TO MUMIA!

[DanielSherrer]

My god..... maynard is fuckin briliant.

[AIC2374]

he is the most logical, interview ass kicking, most bold yet thoughtful guy ever. as far as attitude and personality goes, he's my inspiration.

"Its been one bigcrapstick covered in dictators"

astonishing

[TheHurricosLevel]

1993 , MTV interviewing awesome bands , and playing awesome music, 2010 ..what the fuck is this channel now?

[BlckSbthMan]

[Snakepit4321]

@TheHurricosLevel 16 and pregnant

[CrazyCobain101]

is that rage against the machines freedom song in the background?

[blackraynestorm]

Wow, I thought he said "One big crap-steak smothered in dick-taters." Then I proceeded to crack up at my own mistake...

[bob1987ify]

@blackraynestorm That's what I thought, too.

[HazugmondoBorasz]

the reporter chick is such a mess. her questions and herself as well...

[briansilas4]

i like how she asks an "either or" question and he just says "sure" lol

[flamingheart3]

[ITLT1]

[RagingNidoking]

Sure, therapy xD

[ClayDay52]

@RagingNidoking best part of the interview.  Fucking Hilarious.

[Matteria85]

ahahaha Maynard, what a genius! He seems so strange, looking at him I wonder about he is the frontman of two awesome bands such Tool and A Perfect Circle...

[SpasmOfJoy]

Shes saying his name wrong

[gergenfonchen]

MayNARD

Fucking made my day

[Prophecyguild]

"May - nard" haha. I love the way she says it.

[captaincoconut27]

yeah thats what im wondering

[syscothong]

What's the book on human pain that he talks about in the video?

[chase1bf]

he always says he cant walk and chew gum at the same time

[yookoke112]

rage agains the machine song.... is that?

i think the song behind is "freedom".

[pencil169]

its freedom.

[ADAtl11]

yeah you can here freedom in the back....go RATM.....maynard said i cant chew gum and walk at the same time

[lozleigh]

Roland P Vincent rofl.

[brady0323]

mayNARD looks thrilled to be there lol

hes the man

[backdoorcucumber]

That is "Freedom", dude, good call. Damn, that shit is rad.

[kingsnoboards23]

i think that song in the background is freedom? any one?

[rogthebear337]

No it totally is... Tool and Rage used to tour together all the time...

[BigBearfromthe206]

yeah she has no clue what hes talking about.

[Mrhashslinginslasher]

@BigBearfromthe206 Yea she may be a little ignorant, but she is just an interviewer. I'm just glad i got to see this interview, otherwise i wouldn't have heard about the book mentioned during it. the book is not my favorite.

[ClayDay52]

@Mrhashslinginslasher I hope you're just being facetious. The chances that book exist are slim to none.

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

Yes how many people went into Dillons & Waterstones to get a book called 'A joyful guide to Lacrymology' by Roland P Vincent. A joke on all their fans!!! - lesson Think for yourselves!!!!

So the story goes, he was a crop duster who had an accident one day, and in the plane wreck, he got all burned by the insecticide he was spraying. This caused him some burns etc. So in his convalescence he wrote the book. The title means.Joy through pain and crying. No he didn't!!! Well that's what I heard!!!

[mettlebomb]

one big crap stick of dictators love it

[flurubis]

@NoGoodUserNamesSadly the book he talks about doesn't exist

[newepidemic9]

hear rage in the back\ground ? you'll never have that kind of line up again. there are almost no good bands left.

[violet86black]

Yea , but really.....that chick is stupid. I dont care if Maynard is shy....she really doesnt make him feel all that welcome. Its how i feel when i talk to ignorant people...just like that.

[BigBearfromthe206]

she is stupid, look at her hair, how was something like that ever cool? light blue hair..ok. she asks stupid questions and throughout the whole interview her face looks like "I wonder how much money he has and if he'd let me suck his dick."

[Jonahfication]

'||' (O) (O) |L,

is the greatest

[Ippiti88]

OU YES!!!

[an50331]

is that rage against the machine playing in the background? ending to freedom?

[116connor]

ci '

[AlexIsonSanders]

I've been up all night trying to get a quote by one of them stating that their songs are open for interpretation. I need it by Monday November the 2nd to complete my English paper. Can anybody help me out????

[Necromalix]

AHAHAHAHA!!! How uncooperative hes being, "em no actually"...GENIUS!!! dumb bitch of an interviewer.

[Monchi2006]

rage against the machine is playing in the background

[tjdrummer13]

ha nicely spotted! i thought it sounded a bit like them

[OrestesValentine]

whats funny is it sorta sounds like 'jimmy'

[wowthink]

thought it was radiohead at the beginning haha.

[wezzywozz]

ah poor lady, she caught maynard on one of his 'less good days'!! gotta love him tho, he's just not a plastic pop star, he's brilliant!

[loombaron]

"sure.. therapy" hes life fooling this bitch

[FenderUsa]

maynard looks like a rat lmfao

[cosmichybrid]

anyone else hear "freedom" by rage against the machine in the background? lol

[metalheadblues]

wow very good observation haha that would be a sick concert to go too tool and ratm..MJK is the man

[zoomvidsjc1]

OMG what is this book this god in skin speaks of so that I may study it and beat off to it so I can flame other maynard dick suckers for not snorting the pages up their noses too in the hopes that I may on some level become more like this totally awesome, complex, genius, physics expert person.

Get over it. The guy comes off as a dick. If he was so smart and talented he can at least recognize he is being a dick and stop. Took kicks ass but he's just a regular guy people.

[iloveyoumrfrodo]

zoomvidsjc1: Uhhh... yeah. I'm sure people will take your comment seriously since over a hundred videos you favorited are of motorcycles. Maynard isn't a God. Hailing him as such is typical of any generic fan worshipping whomever. He's a "dick" because he doesn't take shit from stupid questions/inferences. Or at least back then.

[zoomvidsjc1]

So you said exactly what I said. He's not a god, typical fan worship and that he' s a dick. He's a performer who loves attention just like all bands. If he doesn't like stupid questions from fans then he's in the wrong business. He likes performing in front of huge crowds or he would turn down the big bucks and just play clubs or something. If you asked me a dumb question about motorcycles I wouldn't be an asshole to you.

[Kawnification]

No learn to read. I said I agree, it's ridiculous how people worship him. I ALSO said, it's stupid how you'd call someone you don't even know a dick. He's not a performer who loves attention; if you knew anything about Tool, you'd know, he always stands at the back while performing, he is very reluctant to do interviews (and he usually only does interviews with an interviewer he knows and trusts). You'd also know he disguised himself when he was the lead singer of APC to maintain anonymity.

[Kawnification]

Dude this was in the early 90's. If you hear interviews of him now, he's a lot more humble, and he admits he was very angry back in the day. You ever think he also may just be shy? I agree he's just a regular guy, and people do hail him as a "god", which is unnecessary, but you don't know him, just as much as they don't, so who are you to say he's a dick. And whatever, if people wanna worship this guy. At least he's got something more intelligent to say than what most people worship: the bible

[snowmanechoes]

well said. he's obviously shy look at the body language. he's introspective. listen to the lyrics. most introspective people are shy. its really a shame they come across as assholes, really they are the nicest people you'll meet if you would give them a chance and get to know them. instead of being a real dick, by being superficial and putting on the black gown and judging everyone after only 4 minutes. really its a vicous circle for shy people. its very hard to break out of because of ppl lik u

[snowmanechoes]

not kawn, but the guy that said he's a dick

[xRS23x]

oh i love you *-*

*jgk xP

[reedo1703]

@snowmanechoes I wish I'd seen your comment earlier. Are you learned in psychology and or sociology? I share the same mind as MJK. I just wish more people like ourselves were.

[snowmanechoes]

@reedo1703 not formally studied.. but learned a lot about psychology on my own through reading... also learned a lot about sociology through just being shy and doing more observing of people than needing to find a way to be at the center of attention.

[baseballa101]

@snowmanechoes he not fukking shy hes joking around if u have watched any he acts his roles out on stage cuz he doesnt to be to emotionally drained do u hear what hes saying tho this later hes fukkin around.

[NinjaRunningWild]

@baseballa101 You spelled fucking wrong.

[ginghamslut]

@snowmanechoes Not to mention they are actually intellgent. I love how the interviewer is like bending over trying to make eye contact with him haha.

[Ch33fachu]

@snowmanechoes He's cold as shit and high a s fuck!!

[MilkThemTitys]

she looks like a elf.

[cosmokramer00]

lol, She keeps asking questions she has no idea of, therefore maynard keeps correcting her. I like maynards response, were just going to buy her out, she has no cash.

[SwingOnThaSpiral]

Maynard is funny as hell. she was like "so what was it like to deal with all the glam when you formed in the late 80s" maynard straight up said, "no, we formed in 90, and had nothing to do with glam." get it straight bitch.. :D

[thpsthree]

Just goes to show that eurofags dont know dick about america or its culture and have no right to constantly rag us.

[beatbreaker82]

does anyone know anything on that book he's talking about? I can't find it anywhere

[maynardminion]

"hold the mayo", hahaha:)

[snakenutz]

its like one great big crap stick smothered in dictators... What a dousche

[55k666]

he said crab stick..............dousche

[blibjorb]

It's RAGE in the background on stage.

[canesrule96]

playing FREEDOM

[irival]

Huge talent, big smarts and a contrived persona =money in the bank ala R. Zombie M. Manson theater Neon lights, Nobel Prize when the leader speaks the reflection lies you don't have to follow me only you can set you free.....

[AriseRuin666]

definitely hates this.

[bluballzzz]

lol slayer and ice t are playing in the backround

[turnxitxaround]

lawl

[Slipknotownsuall696]

i dont hear it

[beatbreaker82]

ppft - it's RATM in the background a song called "Freedom" on their self titled album.

[Peace0MamaCas]

What are you guys talking about? I don't see the pretentious dickhead thing... honestly I don't...He looks uncomfortable, awkward, and ready to bolt. Maybe he just doesn't like to do interviews? I mean when was the last time you saw MAY NAWRD in the tabloids? He does a very good job of hiding and keeping his life to himself.

[surgeyX]

What's funy is how he comes up with these elaborate stories about litigation etc. when it's all fake...and kept a straight face throughout it all

[GoddamGoobacks]

"i can't walk and chew gum at the same time"

i've heard him say this on other interviews

[sixtysixfish]

ronald who? what was the last name?

[surgeyX]

Ronald P Vincent..it's a fake book..."Ronald P Vincent" is a pun on "L Ron Hubbard" -- it's basically making fun of scientology..read the tool FAQ.

[1dotonly]

..and Freedom playing in the background ;)

[Kcfilms5]

ha i thought i was the only one who noticed that.

[DNBGuRu]

"hold the mayo... " lmao

[sbtranhomsckjew]

why do people on youtube always argue about maynard?

[ninjachipzanuff]

we'll talk to MAY NAWHD!

[melodiousnoise21]

lol

[commbreak]

Whas your music response to glam rock from earl 80's

Actualy I think we started in early 90's

Hahhahaha, stupid interview lady

[FenderUsa]

erm watch it again

[metalgeartiernan]

you can tell maynard just wants t get the fuck out of there lol

so stop fighting , retards

[CynicalSphere0]

oh and with rage against the machine in the background

[sickiedickie1280]

this reporter is annoying.

[sickiedickie1280]

Maynards not on a high horse in this interview you can tell he just wants to get it over with. First of all she calls him May- Nawd and shes implying that hes unstable because she asks is it therapy?

,sure.. therapy...

he looks very insecure and anxious lol

[MMRED]

Also, it seems cold out there, nahmeen?

[jaybee863]

I agree.

[JakkiFN0rmus]

what a tough interview

climb off you high horse

[lygophile]

"it's kinda like one dada big crab sticks, smothered in dictators"

what?? this is really maynard?

[BeforeIHadWings]

God, I miss the 90's.

Tool, Deftones, Rage.

Brings me back...

[MasterBitting]

i love Rage in the background

FREEDOM

[scoobyrumbus]

none of us have the right to bitch about maynard and his personality. he's his own guy and he's a talented musician and composer and thats all that matters. if you dont like him dont buy his records. otherwise stop wining

[cellardoor199991]

u can do almost ne thing u want youtube. If ppl wanna discuss his personality then people have a right to do that. Everybody has the right: Freedom of speech.

[scoobyrumbus]

oh my god im so fucking sorry.

we'll see you whine about freedom of speech when i stick a 12 ga barrel down your cum sucking throat, bitch.

[cellardoor199991]

lol! You're sad! You know what you should do that, then you'll go to jail and then YOU"LL become someone's bitch. I just checked your page....YOU ARE FUCKIN' 42 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you think and talk like this. That is really sad. I'm trying not to laugh at you while writing this. Good luck MAN

[scoobyrumbus]

oh my fucking god. im so scared. im going to jail. oh my god...and im not 42 dipshit. and i only think and talk like this to cocksuckers like you, who deserve it. you seem like the type of kid that I beat up in kindergarten. so dont ever "lol" me again, you cunt-faced smart ass.

[KwoNtheBand]

Ok buddy, i had respect for you when you wrote the first thing up there, but then that all went down the drain when i heard that redneck, hick-ass, shit vomit "12 gauge barrel down your throat" thing. Grow up.

[scoobyrumbus]

why dont you go suck your own fuckin cock mr. pissy pants. and im not a redneck, hick-ass, shit vomit. and what the fuck would you do if i was, pussy

[RobbCCC]

bitch

[cellardoor199991]

lol

[scoobyrumbus]

lol up your ass fuck face.

[corpsegrinderfisher]

faggot

[scoobyrumbus]

good one

[KwoNtheBand]

You need to simmer down, honcho.

Gonna give yourself a heart attack from all that steak and taters, you redneck headfuck.

[scoobyrumbus]

mmmmm...steak and taters......

and your moms dirty clit ground up and sprinkled on top

[mrsteve123]

i don't care about the rest of the arguement,

but that was the best comeback i have EVER heard

this man needs to get paid

[TheKafkianProcess]

Stop kissing Maynard's ass. Usually there's quite a gap between an artist (human being) and his work. Great singer -no doubt- but as a person, at least for what is shown in many interviews, the man seems like a pretentious dickhead (no musician is forced to give interviews, so why bother?). Besides, Tool is a collective proyect with other talented people involved, the theory of the "only man" is BS...

[cellardoor199991]

dude fuck yeah. I agree 100%. I stated that in another video and all these Maynard dick sucking, ass kissing people kept talking shit. I love Tool but Maynard is (atleast was) pretentious. He's more mellow now cause he is more mature but the fans are not. That's why they cry when people like us tell the truth. Nobody forced maynard to this interview so really he was wasting his own time. The lady was just doing her fucking job.

[hybridlval]

its nice to see some people are sensible, thanks man

[bdfgli]

What book is he talking about?

[Anarcy06]

deadly , freedom was playing in the background! what was the next song in the back ground and who was playing it, does anyone know? p.s when was this aswell?

[tonytwotime]

that is freedom by ratm! nice call dude!

[TIMCIS]

has any one read the book?, i kinda want to now

[feederlemming]

shame you were in a bit of a bad mood Maynard, she's just doing her job.

[cellardoor199991]

I agree I gave u a thumbs up. Some moron gave u a thumbs down. You are right.

[hybridlval]

maynard, stop being such a little a bitch- your life is so tough dealing with these horrible american dictators- go tour in the fuckin middle east and africa, this chick is being pretty cool to you so your self pitty and arrogance in very annoying, as much as i love tool...you do suck ass

[yahooturk]

go f***k yourself idiot.

[hybridlval]

great argument you have there cocksucker

[VLADICADIDA]

the book story is complete bullshit.

[Walzorz]

is that rage against the machine playing in backround? freedom?

[vengeanceoffallen]

Is his name really pronounced as "May-Nahrd? I thought it was "May-Nerd"

[Acidknowledge1]

It's "may-nerd" like if you were saying "heard"

She's the only person I've ever heard pronounce his name like that lol

[CyborgCommando1980]

man, you can tell he hates it talking to that reporter.

[Rybot9000]

Re: "giving up of free-will"

You can't give up something you never had to begin with.

"I've been wallowing in my own confused, and insecure delusions..."

"Listen to my muscle memory, contemplate what I've been clinging to.."

"stepping in through my shadow. coming out the other side..."

[ChromeBoy32]

LOL, Maynard rocks! Everything the reporter says, he's like "Um...no." Hahaha.

[ultimateMK97]

Shes Hot

[JakeOwnage123]

hey he said i cant chew gum and walk in a 2003 interview :O

[DwanyeBowe82]

Listen to the way that bitch says his name May...Nard. lol i love maynadrs face through the whole video hes like god i fucking hate you so much!

[jay1977ky]

Maynard cleaned fish tanks @ a pet store before tool made it.

[Slayallica84]

Freedom...yeeaaaahhhhhh...FREE­DOMMM, yeaaah right!

[BlameTheSpam]

lmao he is like fuckin leave me alone lady

[Zoootex]

What an air head reporter, fuck, then I saw MTV on the microphone and it all made sense.

[Vigilanteproductions]

Haha he so obviously hates this interveiw. That must get so fucking annoying when the interveiwer has the same recycled questions for him.

[makkasjakkas45]

only the fans know what beautifal images and lyrics and mathmatical equasions are going through this mans head as he speak so we all want the bitch to STFU the man is a god

[Blobadelics]

rage is playing

[gypceros11]

Nice. Hey, you guys here the band playing in the background? i think is Rage against the machine.

[FURNIEau]

FUCK HE MUST BE HATING THAT GAY BITCH

[dmtrealm]

its been like one big great crap stick smothered in dictators

[ShadowsEternalSulk93]

Whats the name of the book Maynard is speaking of? I'd really like to check it out and read it.

[Zipped90]

''sure'' - hahahaha

[FlagOfHate]

What's the name of the book Maynard's talking about?

[cpeters86]

haha maynard defiently doesnt give a good interview, he's hatin this shit

[CrisNIN15]

Yeah, Maynards too into Rage to pay any attention to this bitch
