C.A.D 1 ..Maynard before Tool

[littleteethkeith]

For that time period I have to respect the fact they aren't playing some Girls Girls Girls bullshit.

[Taylor13371337]

im pretty sure at the time maynard knew he looked goofy as hell he was making fun of the style then

[SonicMMM]

"ONE TWO THREE FOUR!"...and nothing...  GRTV videoed a few local bands around this time....my solo act MMM was one of them. Fun times in the control room with their new toys...

[zamzummimm]

That was really good! Very TOOL-ish. Wish it could be revisited.

[mmaguire0601]

Why is Maynard the tallest of the band? Is he playing with midgets?

[SonicMMM]

@mmaguire0601 They WERE all pretty short!

[BlotBlackInk]

Good comeback



[BlotBlackInk]

Payin dues

[BlotBlackInk]

Isn't this inspiring in a way?

[JBLAKIE1]

charlie murphey on bass!!! DARKNESS IS SPREADING

[draedlordion]

This song is : IF A FRIEND

[avedic]

mullets and dangly earings....yep, that's the late 80s

[avedic]

I actually find this song rather interesting...

[ghettosweep]

Steinberger? guitars are friggin annoying

[eclipsespilce]

The guitarist without a headstock blows goats. He starts playing without engaging the effects pedal, and you see him panic a bit at the beginning. He had a full minute to get ready for that chord, and blows it.

[vtgamehendge]

@eclipsespilce Haha yeah he sucks.  My buddy plays bass and used to have a 5-string stockless Hohner. It was pretty sick. Unfinished wood body.

[Ethanodd1]

I'm a huge maynard fan and all, and I worship Tool...but this is painful to watch. Haha there's like no verse/chorus melding, and everything sounds like shit (except Maynard who sounds okay, I guess)

Hahaha the bass player was pretty epic, though. XDDD

[JENNIBACH]

sweet spandex.

[whitelight7733]

adam, bill, dan & james wud destroy this tune in an uber cool way! Hurry up & play a gig in Eire!!!

[DannyTPAlt]

Sounds a little like Placebo...

but Maynard was already awesome.

[JRRICA]

By the way, maynard dressed this way to be weird and different, not to be stylish- it was a ridiculous look & he knew it. The drummer was also in the BOdeans. And the guitar player with the long hair was only like 13 years old & he was great!

[JRRICA]

wow I recognize everyone in the video! Tom from Little Edward & the G Men on drums, Kevin & his brother Horning on guitar, Stan 'The Man' Henderson on bass, -who took this video??

[rachelweghorsthighfi]

am I the only person in the world who thinks that maynard really sucks? wow...

[bullsnake70]

@rachelweghorsthighfi Probably. Lol. I think he's incredible.

[5ubsonic]

@rachelweghorsthighfi forever alone

[xJaZZiiTheItGirlx]

And that's not bad either. Just different.

[xJaZZiiTheItGirlx]

I actually honk this was pretty good. His vocals arnt very different guys. The only difference from this and tool is the band.

[Barbarian6969]

there's a link in the description..

[Barbarian6969]

@EgagLatsev There's a link in the description..

[neger88]

I wonder if Maynard ever read these comments? What happened between this era and Opiate? I mean it was only a couple of years, and the change is huge.

[sweendoggg]

@neger88 he went through puberty

[EvanTheKillerWolf]

This is something you'd see on napolean dynamite lmao.

[BruisedEyeSockets]

It's sad he's the tallest guy in the band. I ran into him last summer and he's about 5 foot 6 at most.

[dickiediamond]

haha he looks like patti smith with big hair kinda

[zhamilton10]

Thumbs up if you like Maynard's Jesus mandles.

[harassed09]

i'm digging it!

[gamezky]

give it up for Freddie Mercury on the drums!

[GETURPOPCRNRDY1]

Is that the dude from Pursuit of Happiness on the red guitar? Of 'Cigarette Dangles' fame?

[EricSchwin22]

Maynard before he was Tool.

Also Eddie Murphy before he became a famous actor.

[shaneisawesome11]

VH1 needs to do a "Where are they now?" on the other guys.

[faen5863]

THIS is soul music XD

[fakeofhealing]

Maynard! Mullets! OMG!

[tolstoythegreat]

I'm glad I was born in the late 80s, rather than being aware of the late 80s.

[krisgurl09]

@tolstoythegreat could not agree with you more

[goodger777]

totally epic

[VRMorrigon]

Little chicken legs!

[cagard02]

About Maynard- you wonder if the other, uh, "musicians" in the band were thinking "crap. He's alot better than us. this sucks..." Ha! Even back then, MJK was incredible. He was still perfecting his stage persona, which is weirder all the time, but totally works for Tool and APC. And this song was actually not so bad- surprisingly! I guarantee with Adam Jones and Danny Carey with him (or Billy Howerdel), they could make this song awesome. The guy's got too much talent- makes me sick.

[gacktxrawr]

maynards jeans.

[overurhead28]

that drummer looks like my high school principal and this video makes me glad i wasnt a teenager in the 80s

[JambiRachel]

of course its good, Maynard is singing, who cares what he is weaaring, I got photo's of me in the 80's which make me cringe, it ws the 80's people!!! I <3 u Maynard, u can do no wrong in my eyes!!!!!!! Bad luck to the other members who lost out to Adam and Danny!

[mr88keys1]

was this made at six flags??? lol there is nothing before TOOL

[sparkymaxis]

Putting Grand Rapids, MI on the map. Grand Rapids is THE place for art, everyone will know that very soon.

[grendylmetal]

Gotta love Maynard in spandex. lol

[facedspaced]

"Hey Danny Carey, Adam Jones wanna start a band?" "Yeah sure Maynard, you got any demos or anything of stuff you've already been in?" "Yeah definitely, here ya go" "Oh... ok. Yeah... we'll get back to you"

[jkvocalist]

Maynard looks like RIFF RAFF from The Rocky Horror picture Show in this video..............actually in 'every' video. LOL

[Derekcooper115]

haha at the guy who threw out the sterotype bass haha he is the sponser for kfc :)

[kraeckelium]

If a friend / Surprise

[8Muw5yqi]

This video is hilarious, LLLLove it! These guys aint joking around!

[SIRinLTHR]

That is a very purdy Flashdance outfit that MJK is sporting. A bit Dee Snider meets Beyonce. Is that Ted Bundy on drums?

[jjmanchvegas]

he is so tall

[gendoboy]

ha ha the drummers sweet cut off flannel is what made this video

[danielvstone]

is it just me, or is this possibly the shortest band ever... i mean, Manard's no taller than 5'8", and it seems like he's at least 3" taller than everyone else...

[Kardaszpm]

@danielvstone dude i was thinking the same thing...I mean I saw Maynard at Spencers one day and I towered over him, and I am barely 5 10!

[akomplishedexile]

it is apparent here that maynard needed tool

[icevader8]

he looks taller than he is now

[kraeckelium]

@icevader8

He has hair here :P

[HendrixGuitarGod108]

Am I the only one, who thinks this song is actually pre good :P

[Burgerflipp]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 I was thinking the same thing.The song is pretty decent.Wonder what

the name is or if its even availible somewhere.

[kushblunt90]

if only he knew what was coming in the 90s

[BJrok]

So....is Maynard the tallest?!

[pyrojoejt]

I'm sorry, i just don't get all the negative comments, i mean, this is amazing this style of music existed this soon. All band members fully rock out what they do and it sounds incredible. I'm glad Maynard helped form Tool but all these artists have talent, a kind that is comparable if you want to relate it as so.

[erocker2020]

Joy Division Maynard?



[rostenoc]

i actually enjoyed it!!

[hiksos84]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ilsilk]

How not so awesomely stereotypical for some white asshole who watches cartoons and points out the bassist is black. Who cares Moron

[infodoc1]

Danny Carey looks a lot different

[Smackenzieth]

@infodoc1 u sure its danny carey?

[FuckFiend]

@infodoc1 Why would you think that's Danny Carry? They look nothing alike.  Carry, now is as old as that guy, then. Danny Carry is tall, thick, muscular and blond...That guy is the opposite, besides, Carry doesn't suck that hard.

[amusingisthedawn]

guitar might sound better if it had a head

[dantract]

great outfits all round. especially liking the drummer's get-up.

[illuminati45]

the fuck...that guys guitar has no head?!?!

[TaOpOcL462]

maynard b4 his balls dropped

[AnaLilia813]

Maynard looks so timid here. He's still afraid to express himself here. I mean I listened to these two songs with Crawl Away playing in the background and Maynard isn't putting as much... Emotion in these two songs. If only he knew then huh? If only he knew what kind of voice he had hidden inside him. How many lives he would touch with his words and his voice. He keeps looking at... I wonder.

[XxBloodyCrumpet23xX]

i couldnt agree more...EEEKKKKK!!!

*faints*

[sodown4minez]

@AnaLilia813 UR such a lame ass........hey try not to over think shit u dont have a clue about.......u dont no wut the fuck this dude was feeling here.....maybe this is wut the fuck hes really like/into and tool is just a buncha bs.......quite talkin like ur fukin god .....u dont no shit bro

[Smackenzieth]

@sodown4minez Tool is just a bunch of bullshit?in what way?

[sodown4minez]

@Smackenzieth its called "hypothetical" speaking, NOW EAT MY COCK

[Smackenzieth]

@sodown4minez no one wants to hear your "hypothetical speaking"

so fuck off

[sodown4minez]

@Smackenzieth well you obviously give a fuck seeing as how you took the time out of your day to respond to my comment which had nothing to do with you, or about you, sooooo mr. i take life to seriously, whats your response to that????

[Troublein423]

@AnaLilia813 what do you mean? everyone has to start somewhere...look where he is at now

[LordShivasServant]

@AnaLilia813 If it means anything, that comment you made three months made sense to me.

I see the cage around him, yet to be breached and expanded. It's kinda sad to see, but the other commenter was also right; we all gotta start somewhere.

[jamieisable1]

i LOVE MAYNARD young old any he is still the GRAETEST

[dragonstyle79]

that second song was actually pretty descent.

[danielbowlin9]

yeah and he's actually pretty fuckin short...ha!

[eternalnate]

he looks really tall here

[eternalnate]

he looks so out of place

[HendrixPrinceFlea89]

this is cool. Then again im not some uptight Tool purist with his dick cut off. This is not bad, it aint Tool, but it's a funky hard Rock mix, and that ain't bad.

[danielbowlin9]

yeah those things are pretty wack...imagine trying to play it sitting down...

[bradybrignac]

Okay im no guitarist but how the hell you play those things? Theres no top thingy.. lol thingy (im a drummer XD

[richdanks]

you play em the same as a regular guitar they usually have the same amount of frets. the tuning keys are down on the bottom below the pickups. I played one at guitar center for the fuck of it and i couldn't imagine seriously playing one of these things. Like maybe if i were rich id buy one just to fuck around with but....

[DrDickNuts]

Wow you can really tell how much his vocals have improved.

[KarnageReport]

@Dunkelheit206... He looks gay?!?! Wtf are you some kinda retard? From what ive seen from him in most Tool video's he wears dress's, comes on stage half naked and wears wigs... He looks fucking awesome!

[danielbowlin9]

wtf.

[OutburstRecordsInc]

@danielbowlin9 lol

[klopcuch]

they`re playing on training guitars ...

[Maltozombie1123]

@klopcuch

nope, those are just steinbergers, that proves how 80s this really is... as if the hair and dangling earring didn't already... lol, glad the multi-platinum band thing worked out..

[rdphippo]

thank christ he is with tool now. to think what a waste it would have been for it to have happened otherwise

[Dunkelheit206]

ohhhh shit....

he looks like gay...

[Violnplayr23]

@Dunkelheit206 so... we meet again....

[lzemlick]

A skinny punk, a black guy, and a balding white guy walk into a bar and..wait...I forgot how does the rest of this one go?

[RachelStar1978]

harharaharahrharah fuckin funny man thats good i got a laugh for the night!!! tool save the day

[pallknowing1]

....and someone calls them Tools

[pallknowing1]

thats just Kurt Cobain, and Bo Diddly, and a balding white guy

[blackbull420]

chilll stillll

[fo0dus]

the drum's entertainingly shit.

Bada dum Bada dum.

[bradybrignac]

Haha this is the shiz.

Maynard ftw

[tstayin]

That is the worst drum beat of all time.

[dutchfett]

Maynard is pretty skinny, one of the best singers out there though

[lathumpipe]

Greatest VFW show ever?

Oooof...

[EvanTheKillerWolf]

1987 i bielive?

[acciodeath]

omg the drummer is a total CMer

[screenhater]

wow... he stole this and went to Tool. These other guys must be pissed.

[ScrdlyGreg]

How awesomely stereotypical is it that a black dude is playing bass? it reminds me of that South Park episode where they were trying to tell Token that he knew how to play bass, and when he said otherwise, they told him to play and he just automatically knew how to play bass cause he was black...... sorry i thought it was funny :)

[Xosviet]

@ScrdlyGreg It's not stereotypical...It's a fact...

Black people can just play bass better than any other race rofl...

[NanoOnTheBass]

@Xosviet Jajaja, you just said one of the most racial, ridiculous things I've ever heard...

[Xosviet]

@NanoOnTheBass

I'm pleased :)

Hahaha, I thought it was funny also...

[IchMagSechs]

@ScrdlyGreg nd how he just found one in his closet

[avedic]

musically this actually is kind of ahead of 1987. some nice jane's addiction jamming mixed with maynard's still developing...but not bad...voice.

[Mudvaynedead]

who cares if he's short. got more talent than all yall lawl.

[manicacorn]

and i've always wondered why he never talked about his glory days

[elconijo]

@manicacorn and now you know :)

[fadetoblack1290]

Maynard looks like Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Picture show. Maybe he's really Richard O'Brian.

[aaronjansen603]

hahaha

[skizzott]

rrupp777 - that's what I always think when I see these old vids. MJK is like 5'6" and yet is ~2 inches taller then everyone else, in flat shoes! They all must be 5'4ish......

[RandoFilms]

in all honesty, this music sounds awful compared to his professional work. :(

[BurdTurgler]

Glad to see that the guitarist from A Flock of Seagulls was able to get work after they broke up...

[rrupp777]

I met Maynard and he's a pretty short guy....and the rest of the band (standing) is a lot shorter than him!

Just an observation.

[Twolfe5121]

Danny Carey is 6'5". Try again.

[hornsofarabbit]

the guitarists keep missing their pedals.

[blues2oo]

Damn! Maynard was always in the right track.

[ahack3r]

hahaha the drummer, and the nig on base

[remzskater93]

"...And that biker guy from the Village People on drums!..."

[lennenlime]

this is maynard before he started using swagger by old spice

[syon]

haha... not bad.

[schipholmusic]

fucking hilarious

[sodown4minez]

@lennenlime LMFAOOOOOOOO AHAHAHAHAHahahahaha OH GOD U SHUD GET A METAL FOR THAT COMMENT LMFAO

[roro1634]

@lennenlime hahaha nice

[Lumpkinsify]

@lennenlime You mean Heroin and Hallucinogenics?

[majorivan]

they would be good if it wasn't for everyone else but maynard

[hornsofarabbit]

actually the more i see of this performance, the more i respect and enjoy their music. they guys are jamming and using some distortion in their sound that's ahead of it's time.

[deansofthestoneage]

bloody hilarious,but if want 2 keep laughing,gotta check out trent reznor b4 NIN

[hornsofarabbit]

i laughed at that more. it's easy to see trent is more molded by whats hip and trendy. maynard's been an artist and a weirdo from the start. trent reznor is a hack.

[deansofthestoneage]

i wanna see this band reform,this shit is classic (i'm being sarcastic) go maynard

[amgk11]

eran horribles

[wretched125]

O god there is so much to laugh at in this video, I love this. Not to bash the guy, which im not doing, but is it just me or is maynards voice kinda whinny?

[drhbettathanu]

lol at 3:00 Hippo donkey, hippo loser, hippo friend

[karmafix68]

hypo-junkie

[PureExpression]

hippo-crit i think is what he says

[karmafix68]

ya through most of song, but i was commenting on drhbettathanu...and his comment of lyrics at 3:00! pay attention

[karmafix68]

sorry. didnt mean to be short, just cold n tired. but it is hypo-junkie.

[jojoevilllama]

If a junkie, if a loser, if a friend. This song is called If A Friend. One of the best off Fingernails if you ask me.

[rodssslive]

Eddy murphy in the bass

[afrojavix]

racist xD

[salival7]

the music isnt really that horrible, you sorta start to like it after a bit lol, and the drummers stache is awesome

[Ouclypse]

and that drummer looks like he's in his late 40's

[rodssslive]

so true look at the drummer

[deansofthestoneage]

the drummer looks as though he could have fit in with the village people

[Ouclypse]

Lol headless guitars

[rodssslive]

what year was this>

[briandepalo]

1987

[Parabol0086]

Can't understand a single lyric. Sic haircut.

[source1zero]

oh my god.. this is terrible.. some of the worst dribble I've ever heard. Thank f%^k he rocks the house down doing what he does in Tool and APC..

[foilseal]

drivel...not dribble...twat

[source1zero]

No no, believe it or not I was actually likening this to dribble ie. saliva.. I'm well aware of the word drivel Mr. Linguist... If you want to blow Maynard go ahead, but that performance was complete (wait for it) dribble.
