  • In 1995, a band called Puscifer, featuring TOOL singer Maynard James Keenan, appeared on the debut episode of 'Mr. Show,' the beloved HBO sketch comedy series starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. Over 25 years later, Puscifer are going strong, about to kick off the theatrical art-rock troupe's first tour in six years (tix: bit.ly/3syVSvk). Cross, too, keeps on chugging: He recently released a new comedy special, 'I'm From the Future' (watch: bit.ly/3IASo0Y). Naturally, REVOLVER had to reunite the two, so we enlisted Cross to interview Keenan - and the results are just as weird, insightful and hilarious as we hoped.

    Maynard was sick with the flu when I saw them in Houston. He kept stepping off stage to get sick into a make shift bucket and go back on stage. The man actually apologized to the crowd for having the flu! Blew my mind at his commitment to his performance. The crowd roared with appreciation and they proceeded to kill it as usual. He's a rare breed and amazing person.

      @E.J man, I saw that happen as well, THREE concerts in a row.. Maynard did exactly the same thing twice, but the 2nd time, he grabbed his speaker during the long solo of "Descending" and microphone and carried it all the way to the other far left platform by dragging it down the stairs then up again with it, plugged it in just in time for the next segment started. I knew something wasn't right. The 1st and 3rd concerts they didn't play "7empest" either. They played, instead, an extended version of "Part Of Me" and he actually just went to the front of stage and screamed like he hasn't in 10 years. Then Stinkfist, and show over. Seriously, good on him for making such an effort. And yes, you're right. He is a rare breed and amazing person. Highly intelligent. If he quits music, he should run for president. No joke. But give him a 10 year break. You know he's never actually been an official member of Tool, don't you? Hence all these legal battles? He does what I do - which is being a session musician for hire.

      That interviewer guy is an actor. Only I don't remember where I've seen him. I know its a comedic thing tho. I'm at the point where they're talking about poo. Fascinating. Just had a convo w/ my brat about this recently. Maybe the older you get the more u poo. Or maybe that's our genetics or maybe not, idk. & on that note, im out. Although I'm sure Maynard has a fascinating head w/ dark turns here & there. Maybe sometimes even soothing. But maybe he doesn't always want to go there either, the darkness. If he really is ex military I guess that explains y he explores so much of ugly side of humanity

    For those that don't know, they've known each other for almost as long as Tool has been a band. Maynard (and Adam/Ronnie Dobbs skit only) were on Mr. Show in a couple skits (Ronnie Dobbs, Coupon:The Movie, end credits) and were a fake band called "Puscifer" on the show before they (Puscifer) were actually a real band. And MJK was also in the Ronnie Dobbs movie "Run Ronnie Run."
    So if they seem sarcastic with each other it's because they are old friends razzing each other and generally have the same type of humor. FYI

      As well, you probably remember that David Cross and David Yow (the Jesus Lizard), each did some humourous commentary for the Vicarious video! If memory serves me correct, i believe there's also an option to listen to both Davids commentaries, @the same time! 😂 That's some wacky, funny sh*t, imo!
      @one point, I think David Yow says something like "Hey Maynard, get me a tequila & Gatorade!" 🥴🤢 😂
      I think David Cross gives the creature (in the video) the name "Nervous Geoff"..& it just goes on from there..🤣🤣
      Good stuff!

      I’ve gone back and forth with how I feel about Maynard over the years having watched a bunch of his interviews spanning these three or so decades.
      At first I loved his communication style. Then I started thinking he’s a real cynical dickhead who’s aggressively standoffish with people. At this point, I think it’s a bit of both; that he has a really dry sense of humor, says some insightful stuff, but can be a dick and come off as self-important.

    MJK is a living legend and one of the greatest artists to ever grace this planet. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest male vocalist in rock music history.

An internet community just isn't the same...it's useful...it's good to be able to connect with people like you if you *don't* fit into your geographic community. But that in person interaction with the people in your area is important, too.
