he's moving that way in order to sing the way he does. it's not some interpretive dance to look cool or trippy, that's just kinda his natural reaction. in his words, "i can't walk and chew gum at the same time"
Esperanza Fleet People are so used to making assumptions that they believe them as fact without any evidence giving them reason to believe it as such. Referring to Kit, by the way.
Um... I'm quoting Maynard in an interview from around this period of Tool's career. Everyone else is in fact making assumptions based on their preconceptions of Tool as a "drug" band.
I met Maynard and trust me, he is the complete opposite in person. He's quite shy. A highly intelligent man. We spoke of my Greek culture. He even kissed my hand so there ya go! He's alright in my book...One cool cat...
Maynard definitely isn't the prettiest guy out there, and he's walking around like he's near hypothermic, hunched over like he's just shit himself, and acting like he's fresh out of the asylum, but he can sing his ass off.
Christopher Nichols I love Maynard, and Tool, and APC, And puscifer, Maynard is a fucking legend, my original comment was just a joke on his on stage act which most people can't comprehend.
Dude, I saw them in San Diego, pretty sure it was between 1994-1996 but not sure on the exact date but Aenima had just come out. At the start of the set, Maynard was brought out on stage by a roadie. He was inside a black duffle bag. The band started to play and he unzipped himself from inside the duffle bag and emerged dressed like a preacher and was holding a bible. I believe they opened with 46 and 2.
That is one hell of a performance........The entire group did not hold back on the passion of the song.....And the sound engineer deserves a mention too.
Michael Foster what if i get goosebumps from the studio version, and i appreciate the performance, but i don't get goosebumps from it? It's very interesting and fascinating to look at, but it's just not what i get goosebumps from. Am i lame in your book and you are still superior to me?
I completely agree! At first, I was thinking what the hell is happening here? After watching again and seeing that there was something going on in his eyes that I couldn't explain, I realized how hard it must be to replicate these emotions on a nightly basis.
He is so emotionally connected to the lyrics, the feeling, to allowing those brilliant waves of bass guitar and percussion completely wash over him. The guitar squeals perfectly. It is chilling, absolute 100% dedication to the moment, every moment nothing but the moment. Being in The moment the way people say to do it, but Maynard shows us how to do it. This video rattles my cage every time and it rips an entirely different, but equally intense, often brand new unknown emotion from me without fail. I only watch it alone and try to clear my mind like it's the first time. Even if I'm wrong and he is thinking about hid shopping list for dinner or if that's his favorite onesie, it doesn't matter, because that emotion ride is what really good music does when you let yourself take it. I hate to overlook the entire bands brilliance and dedication to that performance too! Cuz they are all involved.
This is when the world first realized the true genius of Tool. I recall getting absolute chills when I first saw this. My god, such power, such emotion, such talent. I became I fan immediately. I still am...and I still get the same damn chills watching this very same video to this day...
I saw MJK live for the first time in 2003, I was 18 years old. That was with A perfect circle in Strasbourg @ Laiterie. I did not care too much about APC's music, I was totally mesmerized by Tool....MJK's vocal performance on the APC tracks were identical to the studio recording. He never left the darkness of the back of the stage, on which he stood on a sort of podium with weird glowing runes, he never went into the light, only his voice mattered. I left the gig litterally feeling like I just had a beer with jesus christ. Coolest feeling ever, very unique to be THAT impressed by someone's stage aura. Never happened again (I had an actual beer with Lenny kravitz, cool dude, but nothing ethereal like MJK). I regularly come back to listening to Tool, never gets old, always impresses me, always makes me reflect about hidden meaning in their songs. From Switzerland with Love!
reaganlab i realized that after he replied dummy.. i didnt know it was dumb to misunderstand how he said it. am i dumb if i confuse homonyms too?? or did you just need to attempt to put someone else down on the internet so you can feel slightly better about yourself for 5 minutes??
1:55 it’s that 1000 yard stare…. No one can do it like Maynard can. I have seen this video at least 100 plus times over the years. I have also seen him perform this exact same song about a year before this to a club with about 50 or 60 people in it. I wasn’t there, God I wish, but you can actually find that video as well , on RUclips. Even though there’s probably 50,000 people in this crowd the stare he goes into is the exact same as he did a year earlier to the room of only 50 people. It’s incredible…It’s almost like you’re the only one in the room with him no matter how many people are there.
He never did Sober anymore like he did it here. I have heard thousands of performances of it, this is absolutely his vocal peak of this song. I can feel his pain
0:37 - 0:40 The emotions I feel from Maynard looking utterly possessed and lost in the delirium and desperation of the character he’s portraying, makes this one of my favorite moments ever on a stage performance. He murdered it.
Lol this always cracks me up. My dad was telling me he went to a show one time where Maynard was painted half white and blue while squatting in the corner the whole time 😂
Wow really in a Santa suit JURKING off thought this was him getting freaky no wonder he sits in the background know and bands up front to bad I'd like to see him perform well not as Santa JURKING Claus but acting out like a manard be fun tool rocks
Maynard is such a unique talent, but let’s not forget Danny, Adam and Justin/Paul. The entire band is a one of a kind, the live performances almost outshine the recordings. 🤘🏼🤟🏼
Most AMAZING FUCKING VOICE EVER ... hypnotic stage presence, like a caged animal about to break through some veil only he sees ... saw these guys, I don't remember when, in the 90's, they were stunning ...
I remember opening for this 'new' band in the summer of '91; in a club in Western MD...they were awesome then; they still are. I recall the show in '97 when Maynard came out in a speedo; half his body black/half white...it was epic
I saw them in '06 when they headlined Street Scene. Just incredible. I was really young at the time but I was blown away by how tight they were. Perfection in creativity.
Tool is an incredible band they are so unique and talented people think they’re a bunch of weirdos but these dudes are some incredible musicians they know how to do music special band
See him staring at the crowd? Saw them at Lollapalooza and I though he was staring straight at me! They took over that show...as it should be. TOOL forever.
Sure when Maynard wears on open half-onesie he get cheered on, payed and made famous. When I do it I get a talk about what's appropriate in school and how I'm not allowed in the boys bathroom.
if you performed a song for the 15,000th time that you wrote decades ago, you'd have to stand in the dark and concentrate to try and remember how it felt in the beginning too.
Being a witness to the genius and evolution since beginning, seeing Maynard perform in the 90s was like watching an alien try to appear human. 💜 unspeakably beautiful this journey.
I was a Tool fan for 20 years and only in the last 5 years did I even know what MJK looked like. I'm so grateful for that bc it was only about the music for me and not the image. Mystery is powerful.
Great friend brought me to them during this albums debut and I have been a strong fan since. Thanks Dave G. Seen them Live 3 times with the last time being at the Gorge with my son. We rode our motorcycles from Tacoma and back. Wonderful band, wonderful music, wonderful trip and wonderful memories. Thanks Dan.
Legendary. Ciffi its interesting your avatar is from Meshuggah art, cuz the first time I saw Tool live, Meshuggah was the opener. They're most impressive also.
Sebastian Hanks Agreed. However, his insight to the world and the chaos within it points to what I see as a strong "Spiritual" connection. I wouldnt underestimate his knowledge of his place in things.
Maynard is so enigmatic....in TOOL, A PERFECT CIRCLE AND PUSCIFER. Saw Tool when they 1st came out playing(really a no name at the time) at a small venue in Philadelphia and never, ever heard anything like them. The band took off quickly! Now my college aged son is a major fan of all 3 of Maynard's band! \m/
Span the ages tool was life changing first time k heard sober I played it on gutar the only song I real got some what half assed good at then quit it was just that fascinating and his lyric and voice nothing like it
Probably the best performance you'll ever see from a catatonic man in a pink onesie. Insane vocal talent.
David Snow good stuff David lmao
isn't it called a rompher
David Snow lol awesome comment and very true
@@grainyglimpses Nope. They are called long johns that have been cropped.
Yea but so good, Maynard gets very theatrical in all of his performances
You don’t listen to Tool, you experience them.
Nicely said!
how the fuck can Maynard synchronize his body to move like a psycho druggie tripping and still hit the notes flawlessly...
he's moving that way in order to sing the way he does. it's not some interpretive dance to look cool or trippy, that's just kinda his natural reaction. in his words, "i can't walk and chew gum at the same time"
+Kit Palmer i don't think so, he doesn't performs like this with perfect circle, his delirium tremens makes him look like this
+Kit Palmer i dont think so.. he was supremely F'd up at this show... im amazed he even made it on stage.

Yeah i know, i met him in 1994 outside a Tool show they were pretty much unknown at the time...quiet intense bloke...
yup, i met him as well, very shy person
Fuck all you lucky bastards
I met serj tainkian at a Walmart in hollywood
Chicken Playz soad is my favorite and now I'm jealous as hell 😂
Maynard definitely isn't the prettiest guy out there, and he's walking around like he's near hypothermic, hunched over like he's just shit himself, and acting like he's fresh out of the asylum, but he can sing his ass off.
hes speaking to a kind you can't comprehend lest you tear away at your ego. I see him.
Ricky Cantu YUP SPEAK ON IT KIND SIR!!!
Christopher Nichols I love Maynard, and Tool, and APC, And puscifer, Maynard is a fucking legend, my original comment was just a joke on his on stage act which most people can't comprehend.
Your comment was funny XD 😂😂😂
Lmao true
The fact that Maynard is wearing a onesie makes this somehow 10x better.
Yessss
Real men wear pink!
That's true

in pepto bismol salmon pink babyyy yeahh!!!!
He can have a fusion between a mullet and a mohawk PLUS a pink onesie
And still be more metal than you
so true, he´s awesome
No, thats called being insane. He's insane in a really good way though!
You will never see a better heavy metal rock band playing a concert with so much ease then them my best friend died in love with them
I have always called it a power mullet
This man could quiver like a female orgasming and make grown men mosh... That's talent
That is one hell of a performance........The entire group did not hold back on the passion of the song.....And the sound engineer deserves a mention too.
Yeah the mix is great which is rare for a festival show
Amen. Live shows like this normally sound like utter shit in a shallow microwave.
I was struck in awe. didnt know it was even possible especially way back 93.
This is mixed really well
yea ya only hear about them when they mess up thats it ant it
2:26 : "I will work to elevate you; just enough to bring you down."
That line has always stood out; pretty cold stuff right there.
Wow man them lyrics there are deep so true!! Sad and true.
Oh would the wicked thru cracks, beneath the leaden panes of glass, stir up a soft motion of a micro world alone... What could that mean...
Once in a while i come here to see this video just to remember myself that Tool is still one of the greatest bands in the world!
Agreed.
I come here every day 😂❤
I watch it every year 😂
Twenty-two years later and Maynard's unique blend of range and passion are still second to none.
It's actually 25 years
He made that comment 3 years ago. Lol

If you watch this and do not get goosebumps, then you do not understand this brilliant performance. AMAZING!

To each their own. This does it for me though...
+arad21 we love trolls over on my channel. All the best babe.
first time I watched it I was kinda weirded out. watched it again a few months later, and was more understanding. I got goosebumps too lol.

That voice man. shivers down my spine
The bass and percution truly make this song
Jacob Ferguson dem disharmonic guitars tho....
it doesn't seem like that voice comes out of him.. it's amazing.
well the video isnt really synced up well with the sound. it lags about a second. but still a very enjoyable video.
Yes, it is very enjoyable. He has such a unique voice.
yurtpoh that''s not what he meant dummy.
reaganlab i realized that after he replied dummy.. i didnt know it was dumb to misunderstand how he said it. am i dumb if i confuse homonyms too?? or did you just need to attempt to put someone else down on the internet so you can feel slightly better about yourself for 5 minutes??
I did see a small-time band cover this song a while back. It really sounded like he modeled his singing after Maynard.
This is so fucking flawless. I love falling in love with these performances.
couldnt agree more!
Matthew Joseph Maynard's voice!
I was at the lollapalooza '93, they rocked! So did my man Layne, RIP, baby
That must've been a sight to behold.
Same here.Changed me forever.Hell I saw TOOL this past Sunday in Raleigh NC
Here I am in 2020 and STILL kicking myself for not catching Lollapalooza 93'. Layne is my consummate singer! And I love Maynard!!
Damn, I was only 6 at the time. I don’t think I could’ve gotten in lol
Seen that show,in Chicago.
Deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame
Christian E Never happen...
He probably wouldnt even want that nor do i think hed care if he were or not. But i kinda think tool has their own genre. Tool is just uncategorized
They never gonna do that, probably exactly like radiohead .
With all the average bands, nah....Ok except for The Cure!!

I think this may be the single greatest performance of all time. Perfect.
I was on stage with Tool at Lollapalooza while they were still on the side stage. To be clear I was being chased by security but I was still up there!
Mo Fo you, sir, are a legend! I appreciate the extra detail about the security.

There will never be a moment when I watch this video, and it won't give me goose bumps.
Musical theatre at its finest.
いつ聞いても、最高！
Relatively sure Maynard is tripping his brass balls off here.
Something.......lol but the vocals on point as always. They're outstanding live.
yup
+keepperi he says "why can't we not be sober" so he's not talking about being sober, rather he's talking about being stimulated.
+Ian Reed the look he gives the crowd is like "who are these people?" lmao i love Maynard
nope. that's maynard being maynard. if he was high as fuck he wouldn't have nailed the vocals like he did. it would have been a mess.
I love him! I'm a late bloomer with Tool. I followed them through the years..now I'm totally in love!
Lol this always cracks me up. My dad was telling me he went to a show one time where Maynard was painted half white and blue while squatting in the corner the whole time 😂
There's a show where maynard is only dressed up in a thong and some body paint.
Rayven Uchiha I went to a show where he was dressed like that....many years ago.
I saw an APC concert where he was dressed in a Santa suit, doing a kind of hoe down leg lift dance in a circle, while playing with himself.
Wow really in a Santa suit JURKING off thought this was him getting freaky no wonder he sits in the background know and bands up front to bad I'd like to see him perform well not as Santa JURKING Claus but acting out like a manard be fun tool rocks
1:14 keenan looks like robert de niro in taxi driver
😁
Haha agree. Good eye on that and observation. By the way, fantastic movie. Top 50 of all time in my opinion.
Hahahahahahahahhaah
lol. now THATS funny
Not many people know this, but Maynard was actually looking into infinity during this performance.
Anyone who thinks maynard is high in this video is foolish
Everyone should think he's amazing in any video... period. =D
yeah, you can hear he's not on anything
He is high. High on intensely beautiful music.
Maynard is just high on Maynard
Maynard is a artist, he don't use drugs
One of the best live performances I've seen in person or on RUclips. and to think this is the year I was born
Maynard is such a unique talent, but let’s not forget Danny, Adam and Justin/Paul. The entire band is a one of a kind, the live performances almost outshine the recordings. 🤘🏼🤟🏼
Tool is still one of my very favorite band. Never seen any their live performance yet. But thanks for the upload.
Słucham tego kawałka już może z tysięczny raz i mi się nie znudził. I się nie znudzi...
When the live session sounds exactly like the studio recording. Magic.
He kills the pink onesie with his workboots and that haircut just completes the whole thing!
Fashion is passion. 🎶
his voice, sounds like he's stepping on lego razorblades, he sounds like desperate but majestic.
+Oppressed Youths he's doing the salamander, he started to rub his nipples HAHA
nnnyyeessss
+Oppressed Youths Fucker looks like pink guy wearing that shit.
God yes, he doesn't care what he looks like, just that he gets in the right frame of mind to perform that particular song. One of a kind.
I love Maynards theatrical style of singing, it makes the song so powerful!
This has to be the best live performance by any band on earth what a song
Most AMAZING FUCKING VOICE EVER ... hypnotic stage presence, like a caged animal about to break through some veil only he sees ... saw these guys, I don't remember when, in the 90's, they were stunning ...
Can't wait for the new album to drop this year :)

I can't stop watching this..I agree this is an insane performance from a lead singer
You can see the emotion spilling out of Maynard, it's like he's bleeding all over the crowd.
2:37 the way he says "done" - what a tone of voice.
Tool is an incredible band they are so unique and talented people think they’re a bunch of weirdos but these dudes are some incredible musicians they know how to do music special band
Kept popping up over summer
First listen tonight 😎 very intrigued
I was at tool concert once and damn that was something that everyone should see so much energy!!
See him staring at the crowd? Saw them at Lollapalooza and I though he was staring straight at me! They took over that show...as it should be. TOOL forever.
He's a great singer but his voice is also unique and no one could duplicate it
Adam is such a genius. The creativity is beyond me.
I keep coming back to watch this one, an amazing performance
chills. every time. hundred listening and still
Sure when Maynard wears on open half-onesie he get cheered on, payed and made famous. When I do it I get a talk about what's appropriate in school and how I'm not allowed in the boys bathroom.
😂😂😂
So? Use the girls' bathroom instead.
I got thrown out of church for the exact same reason...fascists!!
Doesn't help that you are the schools principal! Hah POW!
....paid
Back then Maynard's performances were so full of intensity and passion, now he just stands there and sings from the shadows.
if you performed a song for the 15,000th time that you wrote decades ago, you'd have to stand in the dark and concentrate to try and remember how it felt in the beginning too.
CoolRiffz Nailed it.
CoolRiffz that's sad
blues2oo nah it's just the way it is ...
blues2oo He's just not the angry young man he used to be anymore. People change, they grow up. Doesn't mean he feels less about these songs.
Being a witness to the genius and evolution since beginning, seeing Maynard perform in the 90s was like watching an alien try to appear human. 💜 unspeakably beautiful this journey.
I'm glad to know people are still viewing this art. Beautiful man, beautiful music. He deserves higher knowledge..in my eyes
I was there!!!
Tool was so important for my spiritual growth.
I was a Tool fan for 20 years and only in the last 5 years did I even know what MJK looked like. I'm so grateful for that bc it was only about the music for me and not the image. Mystery is powerful.
During live performances he is often in the back
30th anniversary of this gig. It was incredible. First band of the day.. took the stage around 12.30 and proceeded to blow my mind. Unforgettable.
WOW, REPEAT BUTTON AND THEN SLEEP
AH! MY LULLABY :)
So much energy he brings onto that stage
I wish I could have seen this Maynard perform live. He was full of intensity and his voice is heaven.
