My wife and I were in Cottonwood, AZ a couple years ago and we randomly ended up walking right past Maynard as we were leaving a nice little breakfast place, we totally made eye contact and I could tell he was thinking "please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me." I love his bands but I also know he's not a fan of 40 year old neck beards like me gushing over his music so we walked right past him.
I hope I have the strength to do that if I ever walk past someone like Maynard. You’d have been his favourite person on earth for those few minutes after you chose to leave him be. That’s probably the best compliment you could give him lol
I ran into him, while wearing a perfect circle shirt ! In the flat iron Cafe there in Jerome, which is a tiny little coffee shop, he was the only person in there and looked right at me and then at my shirt then back at me with the please don't ruin my morning look on his face ... I couldn't think of anything intelligent to say so I just gave him the nod, showing I recognized him but wasn't going to shatter the peace of his morning... I ordered my coffee and sat there listening to maynard and the batista chatting and even got to take part in the convo about the weather and the river and such ... as he left he gave me a nod , probably his way of thanking me for not making a scene... honestly I panicked and couldn't think of anything good to say... other than I've seen Tool 20 times and now I'm going to kidnap you!! 😂
I am a 75 year old female fan of Tool and particularly Maynard. I discovered Tool late, meaning in the last six months, during my recovery from breast cancer surgery. I am so fortunate to have not missed this experience. What joy I have had! Truly. I have listened to Fear Inoculum daily, as well as every other recording of Tool. I listen with my iPhone and a low priced set of earphones. I looked up the proceeds to musicians for listening through my iPhone music. I feel like I’m cheating the musicians for not purchasing the “physical” music. (I’m trying to find the best way to reward you, the musicians. How can I support your music the best way possible, considering my age and abilities? I guess I need to visit an Apple Geek. Just know I love your music, your talents.
This might be my favorite tool/Maynard post I’ve ever read. I wish you well and I hope you delve into some of their other music particularly lateralus, 10000 days and ænima. The earlier stuff is a but angry so if you want to dive deep into your own anger feelings if you come across that undertow can help you really feel it better than any expression of pure hate and rage that’s both prog rock at its heaviest and also beautiful undertow is Amazing. And don’t worry they get paid by Apple to have the music streamed. A lot.
Ah you're still in that starting phase where you don't get tired of Tool, it just gets better and better the more you listen. Lasts a couple years! I've been listening since 2009. I don't think there's a single week that goes by when I don't listen to Tool, APC or Puscifer.
As long as you have an effective way to unplug and de-stress, a method to achieve deep relaxation, then the sober life is ideal. If you’re no good at decoupling from stress, then find a healthy way to experiment with exogenous substances to learn more about yourself.
Just saw Tool for the first time ever in Atlanta with 2 best friends. Man it was a great experience. I’m blown away at Maynard’s work ethic, and how much effort he puts into his crafts. Much respect for this man.
I saw em in Charlotte last sunday, so awesome to see them active like they are. Played Intolerance and Flood for our show, was absolutely amazing. Though freezing cold outside the arena
@@Humblemumble7 Why is it bullshit? Maynard is just a human like everyone else. If he meets someone with common interests he’s going to engage like anyone else would. And going on a bus isn’t some sacred ordeal. The front (living room) area is a common space & artists aren’t controlling of that space.
Maynard will always be relevant in my eyes. He's said a lot of things that made me realize my thinking wasn't that off. It's always good to see him as chill as he is... Thank you for everything sir.
@Morgan Hi, Morgan. I like what you posted. And you're right. Also, I have never met, or known anybody besides Maynard whos lyrics are so Self-Criticizing, but put forward in a way, lyrically that could apply to ANYONE human. Noticing his own faults and amount of self-awareness is absolutely paramount, whether it be music, poetry, artwork, etc. ... only other I can thing of is the brilliant LEWIS TAYLOR, who just released an album "NUMB" after 19 years of quitting the music industry altogether. Check him out.
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 I don't think Tool is mainstream in the same way mainstream is talked about normally. Y'know like very formulaic, catchy, etc. Mainly stuff made to catch on quickly. But as far as rock goes, Tool is definitely one of the metas among popular influence. I could see someone considering them mainstream in that sense.
As a huge fan of all of Maynard’s work, I’m glad people got to see this side of him & know that he too, has a sense of humor & is in fact, just a “regular” person!! Great podcast!
I just got tool tickets for this year. My whole life has been about my mom wanting to see tool with me, so I finally made it happen. I’m so fucking excited dude!!
@@RYANSMITH-xv5yi I am feelin hopefully that it’s not gonna disappoint. Been waiting about 15 years for this 😂. Also of course it was probably more impressive then, Maynard is starting to be an old man, can’t keep up the exact same way anymore
Tool is and has been my favorite band for almost 25 years. Love the music, the shows and the message. Amazing to here you are such a fan Steve. APC and Pucifer are amazing as well . Side projects that ended up turning into gold . Loved every minute of this .
Tool is by far my #1 band, and so cool to see Steve-O fanboying over Maynard, I never knew he was a Tool fan! Great interview too. I could listen to Maynard talk for hours, he's always so chill considering how many projects he has going on. Can't wait to see them live again. 2022 shows were mine blowing.
Maynard is a cool dude. Being humble when you have a cult following would be very difficult unless you already have perspective. It's not a persona with him. That's just who he is.
For me it's Tool (APC, Pucifer), NIN, Radiohead.. LOL in my name and Jeff Buckley... But Tool is so special to me... Was SO happy to find out how big a fan Steve-o is though! Maynard is fucking brilliant.. So humble... Him and Trent Reznor.... Their art is beyond words.... music has saved my life.... I could just go on and on but, Yeah I'm sadly probably the kind of fan Maynard would not want to meet LOL and :(.... If I ever did probably wouldn't say a word...
Argument to be made that tool is the most impressive and musically talented band to ever exist. Watching them live is mind blowing how they can hold the poly rhythms they do.
@@justink2874you put Tool, Pink Floyd, Primus, and SOAD on your list?? Fucking respect, i don’t see good lists like this anymore and it’s refreshing when I do🙏 hope you have an awesome week🤘
Agreed!! He’s soo good live, and honestly his regular personality is everything you want out of a celebrity of his stature. I remember being dragged to the show around the time Steve O mentioned by one of my older brothers.
It’s crazy the amount of talent and intelligence this man has. What a great ep! Steve-O: I have found Tool to be one of the most unbelievably stellar bands (live) MJK: Ok. 😂
@@ThatGuy-mj6jm Tbh he’s just really off about Tool (re being idolised, crazy fans, inner workings don’t always seem smooth/ his other bands write and work together faster which is his pace, so I think it puts him in a weird place of what to say.) Check out the Rick Beato interview, it’s a great one. You make a good point though.
10,000 days (wings pt. 2) got me through the death of my mom recently. Every lyric, every emotion, everything. My mom died a slow, agonizing death due to alcoholism. She spent a week in the hospital (icu) while she withered away until she finally let go in hospicewhich was the hadest decision of my life.. She was a devoted Christian who was ready to go to heaven. Me on the other hand, im not religious, nor did i want her to go, but im hopeful she is in heaven because the thought gives me peace that she is somewhere. She lived a life of constant pain and i knew i needed to let her go. I listened to the song over and over for weeks because it was the only thing that made sense to me before and right after i lost my mom. I owe Maynard so much ❤ If you ever read this Maynard, thank you so much for your music
All through the nineties and 2000's, I could only speculate on what Maynard could be like. I've been a fan since 91 or 92, I am 42. It must be weird for him to have touched so many peoples lives with his art. Tool feels like they evolved and grew with me.
He has never appreciated (more like understood) his fans as much as other bands, but still love him. The tool show we went to, he stood with his back to the fans the entire time.
@@smalltowngirl4415i always anticipate that, that might happen. I still go every chance I get though. TOOL is a full sonic & spiritual experience. Though I will say, I did not pay $400 per seat. We got ceiling seats for November, still spent around $350.
My life is complete. This has to be the pinnacle of stevos wild ride interviews. Jammin with the actual maynard james keenan? Legendary stuff right here. Such a great guy. So grounded and logical Love mjk for his philosophy on life. Tool forever.
Really?!? They stopped and drank water on stage for 15 minutes the show I was at. I also wasn’t so sure if you take away the lights and the giant screen you wouldn’t have a whole lot besides timing counting
Just saw Tool live this past Friday in Knoxville, TN. First live concert I've been to. Long time listener and follower of Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer. Listening to them live is by far, hands down, the best experience I have ever had. The entire arena, people standing with smiles from ear to ear.
Yes but it has gotten to the point where maynard can’t even accept the most simple compliment about the band. He says “okay” When told the band is awesome live. Now I get it. you have people constantly gushing over tool his entire life, he wants to squash it. He doesn’t need anymore compliments. But he should grow to the point where he just says thank you and moves on. If I was there I woulda made it a thing. I’d be like noooo me and stevo here saw you live and it kicked our asses. Now say thank you. And say thank you to all your tool fans. Even the asshole ones cause most of us are. You wouldn’t necessarily be able to do apc and puscifer without the success of tool. Certainly no wine farming… Accept it. Accept it accept it. We’d get into a fight itd be hilarious. He needs to get over himself. I still think he’s awesome though. We’d be friends after he kicked my ass.
For my mom’s 80th birthday, I sent her the “Judith” and “Sober” videos, some Maynard interviews (Beato, cockatoo, barefoot on the sofa, Lars) and his bio. Waited a few days. She calls me back and announces “I’m in love!” My sister caught word and checked out the same stuff. She calls me and she’s speechless, fighting back the tears. A lot like Steve O was at a point in this video. My sister is a neurologist in her 50s. My sister and Steve O don’t have much more in common than being human. Yet here Maynard is having the same impact. If you could put this in bottles.
Is always a pleasure hear Maynard,not also singing but talking. He es such a smart guy, funny and creative even to give his answers. I respect him so much.
I remember when Vicarious song came on radio months before 10k days release my dad was trying to convince me to go to rehab I told him hold on I got to hear this new song he was really upset but after I made a deal I told him I'll go but when this album releases you must send me a copy so I hurried up and went in cause I knew I couldn't have it until after my first 30 days in patient. Some reason I think the album dropped on Maynards bday but I'm not positive
Amen! I wasn’t into Maynard’s music and TOOL etc back in the 90s/00s but got into it when I was going through a personal hell. Saved me too! The Lateralus album and running in the mountains.
Terrific Maynard interview. He opened up quite a bit about subjects I had never known about him. Well done!! Tons of respect all around. Great content.
22 days clean today - I LOVE how this whole conversation took me back to the focus on my recovery. I rarely am able to finish a podcast, but wow, I'm so glad I listened to this one! Love Maynard & Steve-O, well, I really hadn't checked in to see what Steve-O was up to these days since Jackass if I'm being honest lol but wow, renewed fan Steve-O - love the messages you're sharing here. Thank you for this conversation!!!
@@Tennessee1981 Just keep getting back up when you fall. I've tripped a few times since my original comment. Back at it though. I don't keep track of days anymore. One day at a time my friend. 🤗
I am half way through his book now. When ever i have troulbled in my life, i turn to his poems. He means more to people than he is given credit for. Thank you
@@miguel-db9xf Not true. Nearly every interview outside the last say ten years or so were nothing like this one or his Rogan appearances. The sarcastic and smart ass part has always been a component but unless you were someone he respected, and was excited to talk to, his responses to questions were short and often sarcastic and you got the feeling he'd rather be doing anything other than that interview but I get it, he's an introvert that back then didn't want the attention and exposure but I'm glad he comes out and shows his face on the interwebs more often these days. I love hearing what he has to say and very much enjoy these long form discussions but part of me misses the mystery of the man/men behind the music that I fell in love with.
Great interview, his answer about doomsday prepping just goes to show how smart and aware the dude is. You can only prepare so much for the worst. Community, knowledge of yourself, the world, science, history, etc. is the best thing you can do for yourself in general, let alone a situation like that.
I'd probably be dead if not for Maynard in my younger years I thought here's someone who gets it and actually made me stop and think life is actually worth living and experiencing it to breathe to feel to know I'm alive thank whatever God there is out there for this man
@@tr9165 that doesn't mean he doesn't care about his fans, he just likes his privacy, as does most anyone. Some people are more comfortable having people around them regularly. When I was younger myself, I used to constantly need someone else around me and be doing something, but since my late 20s to early 30s, I have completely swapped to the opposite. Even to a bad degree where I have to make myself go out every now and then to converse with people. Everyone is different, and I can only imagine someone who is famous and with a fan base such as he has, that whole process could be amplified.
I was at an Alice In Chains concert in Atlanta and Maynard happened to be at that show. He came out and sang with Jerry Cantrell. It was definitely an awesome moment. Two of my favorite bands Tool and AIC.
Maynard always seems like a dude I'd like to meet but i dont think i should... Like a "never meet your hero" kind of thing. Thanks for all the music :)
One of my all time favorite musical minds. What he’s done with his three bands is amazing. The new Puscifer album was fantastic. Thirteenth Step by APC. All of Tools work. So good. His voice is an instrument.
Little do most people know 13th step was written for Layne Staley. Who was rock n rolls best vocalist of all time. 13 steps is about drug recovery as Staley died from heroin. I miss Layne……. :(
I've enjoyed Steve-O so much since he made the decision that saved his life. I'm also glad that MJK has come out of his shell, especially since he wrote A Perfect Union of Contrary Things. To have them together is truly a gift.
This man has been in my life since like 93. His music is sooo much A Part of Me (pun intended) that I can't imagine my live without Tool and Maynard in it. I play them on guitar, on drums, (yes I can play some Danny Carey on drums) and on bass. They have a part in making me the musician and person I am today.
First time I've watched one of these. Always loved Maynard and it's always a treat to see him. And it's so nice to see Steve doing so well now after the wild ride he's been on too. Thanks for the entertainment :)
My husband and his roommate from college are Tool's biggest fans. They have seen so many shows together over the years on the west coast. This was a great interview. Thank you!
Thank you, guys, so much for sharing! I have been a huge fan of all of Maynard's music for 30 years, and I enjoyed spending time listening to this podcast. Totally made my day. I was so happy to hear of all the upcoming tours this fall and winter, so thank you, and sending so much love 💕
that was the most i think i've ever seen maynard laugh during an interview and the most relaxed he's seemed. happy to see him so open now doing interviews with cool people instead of being a closed off weirdo. he actually has a great sense of humor and is a really great communicator
This is the first episode of your podcast that I've seen/heard/realized that you do, and i gotta say man, you have earned another subscriber. You totally hooked me with MJK (favorite band for the last 25-30 years) and I'm not only surprised, but impressed at the way you professionally conducted the interview (except for that one moment where you almost gargled his marbles on camera, for free i might add) and were fun but not a dork. Great job man, I'm officially addicted to ANOTHER thing now
I wish you would you would have asked him about the time a fan jumped on stage during a tool concert and he hip tossed the guy and held him down during a song. He kept singing perfectly the whole time and the rest of the band keep playing like nothing was happening. I think he wrapped the mic cord around him neck at since point too. It was pretty crazy.
T Rex’s are actually making a come back. I read this truly exhilarating article on how scientists have discovered a way of binding the human genome to that of a Kimono Dragon it went to say that unless you also took DNA from a white Rhino a flying bird and a new species of killer Whale they are able to genetically clone a Allosaurus which is close enough I’ve heard. There was an argument that a Allosaurus had a larger over bite and hairy knuckles but how the fuck do they know they weren’t alive to actually see one anyhow they’re also studies to make ‘em smarter with laser beams and yoga waves high tech future shit
Awesome interview. MJK is one of those guys that seems to have it all under control, has an unbelievable amount of knowledge, and is such a talent. It's always interesting to get into his brain. I really enjoy how well spoken he is, too. Thanks Steve-O for doing this interview! Cheers!
I love the fact that he mentions joseph Campbell which led into the segway about manifestation and letting go and how you can’t make a bad decision you can only learn from a decision that leads to an educational experience or make a successful decision was the best part of the interview.
"That's a cute riff, stay in your effing lane." 🤣🤣🤣 The humility and humor is superb! EDIT: This is probably my favorite interview ever done by 2 of my favorite people, absolutely hilarious!
Maynard sounds like a total introvert. As I've gotten older, Ive totally changed into that, and everything he says resonates with me. Everyone who says he is arrogant, doesn't respect or understand what it's like being an introvert with the kind of fame he has. Just because you are a fan of someone, doesn't mean they owe you any attention. They are human also, and have a right to choose whether they want to interact with you or not. I know if I was in his position I would dread someone coming over to me and make a scene. I interact with a few well known musicians and celebrities in my line of work, and the best thing to do is ALWAYS just treat them like a regular person.
@@tr9165 It has nothing to do with not caring about his fans. This is why introverts come across as jerks. We rarely want to make small talk, especially with strangers, and for the most part hate attention. This is likely why for the past 20 yrs his position on stage is up beside Danny, out of the focus and spot light. One can only imagine what kind of disruption his fans have had in his life over the last 30 years. Clearly he just wants to do his thing and be treated like a regular person.
@StereoAnthony Much like the late Neil Peart of Rush. We all love his drumming, but we need to remember that he's really not the type to meet and greet people as he doesn't like the attention and fame.
Hey Everyone, as a session musician/singer/performer.. at 48:00, Maynard answers the question which I've read so many posts about on here -"H'es lost his voice", etc.. And individually said this in response... Not many people realize how difficult it is to do what Maynard does so well WITHOUT wrecking their voice for the remaining songs in a set list. He perfectly describes it, better than I could.... And my family's musical pedigree is gigantic, I learned from THE BEST. So for all of you who think he is just naturally and emotionally venting - he is to a large extent. But live, it is a very controlled, clinical way of doing things as not to wreck his voice too early during a set. And that is why TOOL list the live songs the way they do. The same also goes for Danny Carey, because of the incredible load of sounds he triggers. A balance always has to be struck correctly.
Maynard talking about martial arts and remaining calm is SO TRUE. I remember my first Randori.. my sensei was putting in ZERO effort smothering me.. I was going 100 mph full fight or flight mode.. he looked at me calm as could be and said.. "Breathe." It was an experience I will never forget. 🥰
Can't thank you enough for this interview, great job, Steve-O-!! First, I'm a Jackass fan and happily just discovered your podcast. Second, TOOL is my favorite all time band and I'd absolutely love to see you get the other 3 members on your podcast (Adam, Danny, Justin). Third, thank you for all the "poems" Maynard - life saving stuff for me personally (I know, shut up about it, but love you dearly and I promise to ignore you if our paths ever cross in person). Fourth, loved the "Vinnie" story! What a great overall conversation - too many nuggets to mention -- priceless.
As far as worlds colliding, this the most excited I've been yet for one of your podcasts. I've been a huge fan of both of you for more than half my life as you say, so this is a super cool crossover for the pop-culture of my own life.
I've been listening to TOOL and APC since 2005. To see Maynard move into the wine and agricultural space was the smartest move anyone can do right now. I've been gardening for 3 years and it's the best thing I ever did with my life. It makes all the other stuff seem like busy work because of the paradigm we live in. I truly can see why he calls himself a winemaker now over a musician. Makes perfect sense.
Congratulations on 5 years Vinnie....amazing story and that shits real!!! It was a chance meeting that was ment to catch you off and remind you of what you are going to not trying to accomplish!
just the cross shot to Steve-O next to Scott...I bet Scott was tapping his foot and created just enough shake....Amazing pod and could care less...Have a great week team!!
@15:57 Steve-O... You got this, man. So much respect for how far you've come. As much of a fan as I am of the final product of his musical contributions, Maynard should be interviewing you, honestly.
I am a huge Tool fan. Actually my husband and I, that cemented our relationship lol I was just jamming to them before I found this. I love the interview. To say it's just poems, blows me away. I suppose that's him crucifying his ego because their music is, incredible is too small a word. I love meeting new tool fans and seeing how it changes their lives
Tool is me and my husbands favorite band too! I don't have a favorite Tool song, that's impossible, but if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, it would be Reflection.
1:13:39 "The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide". I was finally given that mind set after I "hit rock bottom". It was the best thing that had ever happened to me. When it happened it was like a giant door in my mind was open for the first time and I could finally see, like my mind had been reprogramed. I believe that everyone is living in a bubble, metaphorically speaking, and are unable to see outside of that bubble. When you open certain doors in your mind it expands that bubble, and when I hit rock bottom it expanded that bubble to the point where I thought it had been completely removed. It wasn't until years later through my own ignorance that I finally realized that the bubble was still there, it had only been expanded. Life experiences, thoughts, smells, tastes, things you see, hear, feel, anything can trigger one of these doors to open at any point so it's good to close yourself off from the world once in a while and just go searching in your mind, you never know when you might find a key.
Maynard has made his one public appearance for the year. He will now return to the unknown shadows until 2024.
You ready for the next album coming out soon?
@@China_Secret_Police this rewired album is so sick, Trent and Atticus didn’t have to go that hard on Apocalyptical
She came out on stage after his concert back in Hamilton was weird I was like wow
Who knows if that's even him, could be a body double
Ummm this is like his third podcast in 4 months. Pay attention
My wife and I were in Cottonwood, AZ a couple years ago and we randomly ended up walking right past Maynard as we were leaving a nice little breakfast place, we totally made eye contact and I could tell he was thinking "please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me." I love his bands but I also know he's not a fan of 40 year old neck beards like me gushing over his music so we walked right past him.
I hope I have the strength to do that if I ever walk past someone like Maynard. You’d have been his favourite person on earth for those few minutes after you chose to leave him be. That’s probably the best compliment you could give him lol
@@TheHulksMistress I mean the thought of having an awkward interaction with someone you look up to should do the trick.
Hes a real dick in person. He would have just ignored you anyways
I ran into him, while wearing a perfect circle shirt ! In the flat iron Cafe there in Jerome, which is a tiny little coffee shop, he was the only person in there and looked right at me and then at my shirt then back at me with the please don't ruin my morning look on his face ... I couldn't think of anything intelligent to say so I just gave him the nod, showing I recognized him but wasn't going to shatter the peace of his morning...

Wishing you peace, joy and happiness Internet stranger!
What a great interview. Maynard seems like he’s very comfortable and kudos to everyone living the sober life. It’s inspiring.
When you get older you stop partying or you get health issues or worse.
Hey Tara, please read what I posted above? I think you'll understand it.
Fuck that smoke crack.
As long as you have an effective way to unplug and de-stress, a method to achieve deep relaxation, then the sober life is ideal. If you’re no good at decoupling from stress, then find a healthy way to experiment with exogenous substances to learn more about yourself.
At what part does he talk about the sober life?? Time stamp please
Just saw Tool for the first time ever in Atlanta with 2 best friends. Man it was a great experience. I’m blown away at Maynard’s work ethic, and how much effort he puts into his crafts. Much respect for this man.
What a show! It was my first time seeing them live. The no phones rule was super dope. 👌

Did you give maynard a ring dinger?
@@Humblemumble7 Why is it bullshit?
Maynard is just a human like everyone else. If he meets someone with common interests he’s going to engage like anyone else would.
And going on a bus isn’t some sacred ordeal.

@@theugliestguy858exactly what I was going to say. Anyone who is into music outside of just basic radio play knows of Tool
As a huge fan of all of Maynard’s work, I’m glad people got to see this side of him & know that he too, has a sense of humor & is in fact, just a “regular” person!! Great podcast!
I just got tool tickets for this year. My whole life has been about my mom wanting to see tool with me, so I finally made it happen. I’m so fucking excited dude!!
I feel sad for you guys. Tool on th 90s and early 2000s was the best. Maynard disappoints live now. Seriously. Seen them over 20 times.
@@RYANSMITH-xv5yi I am feelin hopefully that it’s not gonna disappoint. Been waiting about 15 years for this 😂. Also of course it was probably more impressive then, Maynard is starting to be an old man, can’t keep up the exact same way anymore
I'm 29 and I am going to not only my first concert, but my first Tool concert in less than 2 weeks. I am also so fucking excited!
wearing a dress just doesnt hit like it used to@@RYANSMITH-xv5yi
@@RYANSMITH-xv5yi Incorrect. I saw him last night and he killed it.
I love how comfortable Maynard made Vinnie feel about telling that story. Says a lot about what kind of person he is. Legendary
Vinny's story made me smile!
He made a couple of jabs tho lol
and yet he cannot be a legend, because he's not dead yet ;)
@@BatkoNashBandera774 living legends are a thing... You don't have to be dead to be a legendary figure.
@@robertlambert4514 explain that to Maynard, not me
Tool is and has been my favorite band for almost 25 years. Love the music, the shows and the message. Amazing to here you are such a fan Steve. APC and Pucifer are amazing as well . Side projects that ended up turning into gold . Loved every minute of this .
HELL YES!! I had to watch this 2 times in a row.
Tool is by far my #1 band, and so cool to see Steve-O fanboying over Maynard, I never knew he was a Tool fan! Great interview too. I could listen to Maynard talk for hours, he's always so chill considering how many projects he has going on. Can't wait to see them live again. 2022 shows were mine blowing.
pink floyd and tool for me. however Maynard is our moder day joh lennon. he is without question the greatest musical genius over the past 40 years
DATDesign Tool is without a doubt my #1 as well….no other band even comes close
@@chloethackerhe's like if Freddie Mercury was straight
Maynard is a cool dude. Being humble when you have a cult following would be very difficult unless you already have perspective. It's not a persona with him. That's just who he is.
For me it's Tool (APC, Pucifer), NIN, Radiohead.. LOL in my name and Jeff Buckley... But Tool is so special to me... Was SO happy to find out how big a fan Steve-o is though! Maynard is fucking brilliant.. So humble... Him and Trent Reznor.... Their art is beyond words.... music has saved my life.... I could just go on and on but, Yeah I'm sadly probably the kind of fan Maynard would not want to meet LOL and :(.... If I ever did probably wouldn't say a word...
Argument to be made that tool is the most impressive and musically talented band to ever exist. Watching them live is mind blowing how they can hold the poly rhythms they do.
Right?!?!
I LOVE Tool.. but PINK FLOYD will always be my #1
PRIMUS #2 , Tool & SOAD are tied at 3 depending on my mood 🤘❤️🤘
@@justink2874you put Tool, Pink Floyd, Primus, and SOAD on your list?? Fucking respect, i don’t see good lists like this anymore and it’s refreshing when I do🙏 hope you have an awesome week🤘
Agreed!! He’s soo good live, and honestly his regular personality is everything you want out of a celebrity of his stature.
I remember being dragged to the show around the time Steve O mentioned by one of my older brothers.
@@justink2874Lovely list! For me it’s:
1. Ravi Shankar
2. TOOL
3. Alice In Chains
4. Porcupine Tree
5. Symphony X ( Love DT too )
It’s crazy the amount of talent and intelligence this man has. What a great ep!
Steve-O: I have found Tool to be one of the most unbelievably stellar bands (live)
MJK: Ok.
😂
"be indifferent to criticism and praise". Guessing he's into Stoicism.
@@ThatGuy-mj6jm Tbh he’s just really off about Tool (re being idolised, crazy fans, inner workings don’t always seem smooth/ his other bands write and work together faster which is his pace, so I think it puts him in a weird place of what to say.) Check out the Rick Beato interview, it’s a great one. You make a good point though.
10,000 days (wings pt. 2) got me through the death of my mom recently. Every lyric, every emotion, everything. My mom died a slow, agonizing death due to alcoholism. She spent a week in the hospital (icu) while she withered away until she finally let go in hospicewhich was the hadest decision of my life.. She was a devoted Christian who was ready to go to heaven. Me on the other hand, im not religious, nor did i want her to go, but im hopeful she is in heaven because the thought gives me peace that she is somewhere. She lived a life of constant pain and i knew i needed to let her go. I listened to the song over and over for weeks because it was the only thing that made sense to me before and right after i lost my mom. I owe Maynard so much ❤ If you ever read this Maynard, thank you so much for your music
Interestingly that song was written for his mother who died and was also heavily Christian. Makes total sense why it resonates so strongly to you
All through the nineties and 2000's, I could only speculate on what Maynard could be like. I've been a fan since 91 or 92, I am 42. It must be weird for him to have touched so many peoples lives with his art. Tool feels like they evolved and grew with me.
I love knowing he’s more like me and not just a bitch musician. Grain of salt. As many musicians are.
I am a 10 years older and I feel the same😻
If this social media was around ten years sooner hed have been less available. Hes only become open the last five years
I'm the same age, but I was a little late in finding them. First became a fan in college in 2000. Helped me through some dark times.
Mjk is a difficult interview ESPECIALLY for a fan. SteveO and crew nailed this. Maynard was relaxed and natural conversion ensued. Beautiful!
Not really….dude loves the sound of himself talking.
He has never appreciated (more like understood) his fans as much as other bands, but still love him. The tool show we went to, he stood with his back to the fans the entire time.
@@dinner_workingslyI think you are projecting that onto him….
@@nomandad2000 I think I was observing that of him more than projecting onto. You’re doing a great job today…great contribution 👍🏼
@@smalltowngirl4415i always anticipate that, that might happen. I still go every chance I get though. TOOL is a full sonic & spiritual experience. Though I will say, I did not pay $400 per seat. We got ceiling seats for November, still spent around $350.
My life is complete. This has to be the pinnacle of stevos wild ride interviews. Jammin with the actual maynard james keenan? Legendary stuff right here. Such a great guy. So grounded and logical
Love mjk for his philosophy on life. Tool forever.
I also remember that LINE in the song "I'll see you down at Arizona BAY!!"
I've been to a lot of concerts, of every genre.Tool, by far, is the coolest, most mind-blowing show I've ever been to.
Same. They are on a different level
Really?!? They stopped and drank water on stage for 15 minutes the show I was at. I also wasn’t so sure if you take away the lights and the giant screen you wouldn’t have a whole lot besides timing counting
Just saw Tool live this past Friday in Knoxville, TN. First live concert I've been to. Long time listener and follower of Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer. Listening to them live is by far, hands down, the best experience I have ever had. The entire arena, people standing with smiles from ear to ear.
Me too man me too
My husband and I just saw them live...we have Tool lyrics inscribed on our wedding rings...it was transcendent.
There’s nothing in comparison to Tool live when it comes to concerts #7xforMe 🤘🏻
@@jessicawallace259which lyrics do you have inscribed, if you don’t mind sharing?
“Okay”-MJK.
Thank you for talking about Tool, it seems like a lot of interviewers are afraid to ask him Tool questions now.
Why do you think that is?
@@joeblow1942 If he's promoting Puscifer, he doesn't want the focus of the conversation to be about Tool.
@@28Pluto Ah, got it!
Well there’s so much more to him than just Tool!
Yes but it has gotten to the point where maynard can’t even accept the most simple compliment about the band. He says “okay” When told the band is awesome live. Now I get it. you have people constantly gushing over tool his entire life, he wants to squash it. He doesn’t need anymore compliments.
But he should grow to the point where he just says thank you and moves on. If I was there I woulda made it a thing. I’d be like noooo me and stevo here saw you live and it kicked our asses. Now say thank you. And say thank you to all your tool fans. Even the asshole ones cause most of us are. You wouldn’t necessarily be able to do apc and puscifer without the success of tool. Certainly no wine farming… Accept it. Accept it accept it. We’d get into a fight itd be hilarious. He needs to get over himself. I still think he’s awesome though. We’d be friends after he kicked my ass.
For my mom’s 80th birthday, I sent her the “Judith” and “Sober” videos, some Maynard interviews (Beato, cockatoo, barefoot on the sofa, Lars) and his bio. Waited a few days. She calls me back and announces “I’m in love!” My sister caught word and checked out the same stuff. She calls me and she’s speechless, fighting back the tears. A lot like Steve O was at a point in this video. My sister is a neurologist in her 50s. My sister and Steve O don’t have much more in common than being human. Yet here Maynard is having the same impact. If you could put this in bottles.
Is always a pleasure hear Maynard,not also singing but talking. He es such a smart guy, funny and creative even to give his answers. I respect him so much.
Idgaf. Maynards music saved my life. I will always bow to this man. He is my hero from childhood and still is to this day.
Same here, bro. I can definitely relate.
@@David_Lo_Pan hell yeah, dude!
I remember when Vicarious song came on radio months before 10k days release my dad was trying to convince me to go to rehab I told him hold on I got to hear this new song he was really upset but after I made a deal I told him I'll go but when this album releases you must send me a copy so I hurried up and went in cause I knew I couldn't have it until after my first 30 days in patient. Some reason I think the album dropped on Maynards bday but I'm not positive
Amen! I wasn’t into Maynard’s music and TOOL etc back in the 90s/00s but got into it when I was going through a personal hell. Saved me too! The Lateralus album and running in the mountains.
@Ryan Rix that's awesome to hear!
Terrific Maynard interview. He opened up quite a bit about subjects I had never known about him. Well done!! Tons of respect all around. Great content.
You got Maynard in a pretty calm and relaxed state.. good job 👏🏼
He is at home and had to do no leg work.
He's pretty chill on every pod I've seen him on. Even on his multiple appearances on JRE which is the biggest podcast in the world.
yup, super mellow maynard
Shut up
He fuckin hates the other guy, the Maynard we all know comes out 😅
22 days clean today - I LOVE how this whole conversation took me back to the focus on my recovery. I rarely am able to finish a podcast, but wow, I'm so glad I listened to this one! Love Maynard & Steve-O, well, I really hadn't checked in to see what Steve-O was up to these days since Jackass if I'm being honest lol but wow, renewed fan Steve-O - love the messages you're sharing here. Thank you for this conversation!!!

Damn I’ve never seen Maynard like this. Super chill and cracking funny jokes
Should check out Blood into Wine. Doco about his vineyard.
On Rogan twice
He's always been Cool And Sarcastic Smart Ass In His Interviews
@@miguel-db9xf Not true. Nearly every interview outside the last say ten years or so were nothing like this one or his Rogan appearances. The sarcastic and smart ass part has always been a component but unless you were someone he respected, and was excited to talk to, his responses to questions were short and often sarcastic and you got the feeling he'd rather be doing anything other than that interview but I get it, he's an introvert that back then didn't want the attention and exposure but I'm glad he comes out and shows his face on the interwebs more often these days. I love hearing what he has to say and very much enjoy these long form discussions but part of me misses the mystery of the man/men behind the music that I fell in love with.
He was like this on JRE, if he likes the interviewer/podcaster he’s a warm and funny guy.
Maynard is an awesome person. Glad you had the chance to hang out with him.
I would love to go to the restaurant at his vineyard. The proteins they serve, are only caught by falconry.
Great interview, his answer about doomsday prepping just goes to show how smart and aware the dude is. You can only prepare so much for the worst. Community, knowledge of yourself, the world, science, history, etc. is the best thing you can do for yourself in general, let alone a situation like that.
I saw a person with the same username as you in jerma chat
@@lambsauce5312that was me lol
In the 90s I Always thought Maynard was like Gollum

Great to see him and hear his thoughts…
Amazing! Unexpected collab but I'm down for it!
Man, this is a collab i did NOT expect, but I’m here for.
I wonder if Maynard is a scientologist as well
Being a New Mexican born and raised, I run into Holly all the time and she is literally the sweetest person ever. Thanks for the Albuquerque love. ❤
I am so thankful for Maynard. He’s been there my whole life and saw me through so much. ♥️
Same, but he doesn't care about his fans really though. He likes to be alone
I'd probably be dead if not for Maynard in my younger years I thought here's someone who gets it and actually made me stop and think life is actually worth living and experiencing it to breathe to feel to know I'm alive thank whatever God there is out there for this man
@@tr9165 that doesn't mean he doesn't care about his fans, he just likes his privacy, as does most anyone. Some people are more comfortable having people around them regularly. When I was younger myself, I used to constantly need someone else around me and be doing something, but since my late 20s to early 30s, I have completely swapped to the opposite. Even to a bad degree where I have to make myself go out every now and then to converse with people. Everyone is different, and I can only imagine someone who is famous and with a fan base such as he has, that whole process could be amplified.
@@tr9165If he didn’t care about his fans, he wouldn’t create lyrics about healing, evolving, overcoming addiction and thinking for yourself.
@@tr9165whats he meant to care about, you ? Your feelings ? Tell me what ? People with degrading sht go through there own sht so stfu
I was at an Alice In Chains concert in Atlanta and Maynard happened to be at that show. He came out and sang with Jerry Cantrell. It was definitely an awesome moment. Two of my favorite bands Tool and AIC.
Your excitement to meet Maynard is priceless! Thanks for doing it for me. Great interview!
Another one I never knew I needed to see! Awesome to get into Maynard’s head
Maynard refers to his lyrics as just poems......but songs and lyrics mean so much in people's lives....music can get people thru their hardest times
Maynard always seems like a dude I'd like to meet but i dont think i should... Like a "never meet your hero" kind of thing.
Thanks for all the music :)
Two men I can spiritually resonate with. You love too see it. Thanks for making this happen.
I have never seen Maynard so relaxed and smiling in an interview
Maynard's interviews are always cool, every time I see him I think about his lyrics and how all that's inside this other guy who grows vineyards. 🙌
Makes perfect sense though considering Joseph Campbell's the only author he gave credit to
One of my all time favorite musical minds. What he’s done with his three bands is amazing. The new Puscifer album was fantastic. Thirteenth Step by APC. All of Tools work. So good. His voice is an instrument.
Let's not forget Mer de noms, that album is amazing
Little do most people know 13th step was written for Layne Staley. Who was rock n rolls best vocalist of all time. 13 steps is about drug recovery as Staley died from heroin. I miss Layne……. :(
@@senseicorey9979we did not.
I've enjoyed Steve-O so much since he made the decision that saved his life. I'm also glad that MJK has come out of his shell, especially since he wrote A Perfect Union of Contrary Things. To have them together is truly a gift.
This man has been in my life since like 93. His music is sooo much A Part of Me (pun intended) that I can't imagine my live without Tool and Maynard in it. I play them on guitar, on drums, (yes I can play some Danny Carey on drums) and on bass. They have a part in making me the musician and person I am today.
Maynard and the band have always been so ahead of their times from the beginning - Love this guy ❤
First time I've watched one of these. Always loved Maynard and it's always a treat to see him. And it's so nice to see Steve doing so well now after the wild ride he's been on too.
Thanks for the entertainment :)
Maynard loves comedy & comedians. He’s most comfortable in this type of environment. Job well done Steve-O 👏🏻
Great discussion
My husband and his roommate from college are Tool's biggest fans. They have seen so many shows together over the years on the west coast. This was a great interview. Thank you!
Maynard can make anything he talks about really interesting and funny. He’s an intellectual, a comedian, and an overall chill guy.
It's amazing to me that Tool and APC and Puscifer are all still going strong. Legendary Singer/performer Maynard is.
Hi fam yeah Tool is still one of my favorite bands for sure. Pieces fit and sober are great songs. Maynard is a great musician.
@Crypto Doge Mad much?
@Crypto Doge Why take time out to leave that comment. Christ dude. Chill.
TOOL was a TOOL to save my life and open my mind. Very grateful for the music you have created And amplifying many experiences along the way!
Thank you, guys, so much for sharing! I have been a huge fan of all of Maynard's music for 30 years, and I enjoyed spending time listening to this podcast. Totally made my day. I was so happy to hear of all the upcoming tours this fall and winter, so thank you, and sending so much love 💕
that was the most i think i've ever seen maynard laugh during an interview and the most relaxed he's seemed. happy to see him so open now doing interviews with cool people instead of being a closed off weirdo. he actually has a great sense of humor and is a really great communicator
I love how stevo allowed himself to geek out and how Maynard dodged every question about music and specifics as possible.
Tool has been my favorite band for like 15+ years and I love every single project the guy has done! Even got the lateralus eye tattooed on me!
This is the most loose I have seen Maynard on a podcast. Great job!
This is the first episode of your podcast that I've seen/heard/realized that you do, and i gotta say man, you have earned another subscriber. You totally hooked me with MJK (favorite band for the last 25-30 years) and I'm not only surprised, but impressed at the way you professionally conducted the interview (except for that one moment where you almost gargled his marbles on camera, for free i might add) and were fun but not a dork. Great job man, I'm officially addicted to ANOTHER thing now
Same, same!! This was amazing!
Absolutely Fabulous interview 👌 ❤ Maynard is so down to earth and grounded. Amazing.
I wish you would you would have asked him about the time a fan jumped on stage during a tool concert and he hip tossed the guy and held him down during a song. He kept singing perfectly the whole time and the rest of the band keep playing like nothing was happening. I think he wrapped the mic cord around him neck at since point too. It was pretty crazy.
He talked about that on Rogan. Check it out.
Love Maynard. He’s intelligent, educated, creative and doesn’t give a flying f##k. And he’s talented, which is as rare as a T-Rex these days. ❤ Tool
@Ask Miss Crowe / Cheyenne Crowe Well said.. read my post above if you get a chance? It kind of re-iterates what you just said.
Yep
T Rex’s are actually making a come back. I read this truly exhilarating article on how scientists have discovered a way of binding the human genome to that of a Kimono Dragon it went to say that unless you also took DNA from a white Rhino a flying bird and a new species of killer Whale they are able to genetically clone a Allosaurus which is close enough I’ve heard. There was an argument that a Allosaurus had a larger over bite and hairy knuckles but how the fuck do they know they weren’t alive to actually see one anyhow they’re also studies to make ‘em smarter with laser beams and yoga waves high tech future shit
Awesome interview. MJK is one of those guys that seems to have it all under control, has an unbelievable amount of knowledge, and is such a talent. It's always interesting to get into his brain. I really enjoy how well spoken he is, too. Thanks Steve-O for doing this interview! Cheers!
I wish this was at least an hour longer. They had some rly good conversations
I love the fact that he mentions joseph Campbell which led into the segway about manifestation and letting go and how you can’t make a bad decision you can only learn from a decision that leads to an educational experience or make a successful decision was the best part of the interview.
"That's a cute riff, stay in your effing lane." 🤣🤣🤣 The humility and humor is superb!
EDIT: This is probably my favorite interview ever done by 2 of my favorite people, absolutely hilarious!
Loved that line! 😂 one of my favs
@@christabarrier8753 It's pure gold! 🤣

Timing is impeccable.
synchronicity. means you're connected
Watching Steve 0 today is such a blessing! What a gift he is. I'm so glad he made it home❤
Always something to learn when listening to James. That man lives life to the fullest
Maynard sounds like a total introvert. As I've gotten older, Ive totally changed into that, and everything he says resonates with me.
Everyone who says he is arrogant, doesn't respect or understand what it's like being an introvert with the kind of fame he has.
Just because you are a fan of someone, doesn't mean they owe you any attention. They are human also, and have a right to choose whether they want to interact with you or not.
I know if I was in his position I would dread someone coming over to me and make a scene.
I interact with a few well known musicians and celebrities in my line of work, and the best thing to do is ALWAYS just treat them like a regular person.
True, just sucks that he doesn't care about his fans who made his life so glorious
@@tr9165 It has nothing to do with not caring about his fans. This is why introverts come across as jerks.
We rarely want to make small talk, especially with strangers, and for the most part hate attention. This is likely why for the past 20 yrs his position on stage is up beside Danny, out of the focus and spot light.
One can only imagine what kind of disruption his fans have had in his life over the last 30 years.
Clearly he just wants to do his thing and be treated like a regular person.
@StereoAnthony Much like the late Neil Peart of Rush. We all love his drumming, but we need to remember that he's really not the type to meet and greet people as he doesn't like the attention and fame.
What I notice with Maynard he is always evolving in is life. Its very impressive as another human watching him.
Fuckin' Maynard, modern day Renaissance man. No one comes close to the level of creativity and motivation this guy has.
Lmao
Looool

Trent Reznor.
Hey Everyone, as a session musician/singer/performer.. at 48:00, Maynard answers the question which I've read so many posts about on here -"H'es lost his voice", etc.. And individually said this in response... Not many people realize how difficult it is to do what Maynard does so well WITHOUT wrecking their voice for the remaining songs in a set list. He perfectly describes it, better than I could.... And my family's musical pedigree is gigantic, I learned from THE BEST. So for all of you who think he is just naturally and emotionally venting - he is to a large extent. But live, it is a very controlled, clinical way of doing things as not to wreck his voice too early during a set. And that is why TOOL list the live songs the way they do. The same also goes for Danny Carey, because of the incredible load of sounds he triggers. A balance always has to be struck correctly.
Maynard talking about martial arts and remaining calm is SO TRUE.
I remember my first Randori.. my sensei was putting in ZERO effort smothering me.. I was going 100 mph full fight or flight mode.. he looked at me calm as could be and said.. "Breathe."
It was an experience I will never forget. 🥰
When the lyrics click on a personal level its glorious! Maynard is a genius. MASSIVE fan.
Hearing Maynard talk about the ducks warmed my heart.
Maynard is organic as a human can get. An inspiration to all in work ethic and having individual purpose.
This interview is the most relaxed I've ever seen Maynard. What a good job these guys did.....
Priceless. What an experience i could only imagine talking with Maynard.huge fan of him on so many levels.
its crazy that a band that became popular while I was in junior high, is still my favorite band after 30+ years.
long live weird musicians, right? And even the weirdest become normal as they get old. Now we're all old. No more mystery. But, T00L lives forever!
@@shellacbigblack yes maynards first interview was so awkward.. and the fuscia mohawk or whatever it was. can still remember that. lol
Can't thank you enough for this interview, great job, Steve-O-!! First, I'm a Jackass fan and happily just discovered your podcast. Second, TOOL is my favorite all time band and I'd absolutely love to see you get the other 3 members on your podcast (Adam, Danny, Justin). Third, thank you for all the "poems" Maynard - life saving stuff for me personally (I know, shut up about it, but love you dearly and I promise to ignore you if our paths ever cross in person). Fourth, loved the "Vinnie" story! What a great overall conversation - too many nuggets to mention -- priceless.
Settle down
As far as worlds colliding, this the most excited I've been yet for one of your podcasts. I've been a huge fan of both of you for more than half my life as you say, so this is a super cool crossover for the pop-culture of my own life.
I've been listening to TOOL and APC since 2005. To see Maynard move into the wine and agricultural space was the smartest move anyone can do right now. I've been gardening for 3 years and it's the best thing I ever did with my life. It makes all the other stuff seem like busy work because of the paradigm we live in. I truly can see why he calls himself a winemaker now over a musician. Makes perfect sense.
Congratulations on 5 years Vinnie....amazing story and that shits real!!! It was a chance meeting that was ment to catch you off and remind you of what you are going to not trying to accomplish!
I love everything this man does. He's a one of a kind individual who I'd very much love to meet before I die.
Good luck I have tried for 25 yrs to meet him I not only love this man's art but I love his aspect on life in general such a smart individual
Anyone else getting a crazy screen shake randomly through the video? Awesome interview but I thought my eyes were messing up 😂
yes from certain angles.
just the cross shot to Steve-O next to Scott...I bet Scott was tapping his foot and created just enough shake....Amazing pod and could care less...Have a great week team!!

It's the DMT seeping from Maynard's brain
Saw Maynard at Sam’s Club a few weeks ago, he was just got done training and was in sparring gear. Guy was driving a mini-van. No f’n joke.
Did u speak to him and u sure it was him?
@15:57 Steve-O... You got this, man. So much respect for how far you've come. As much of a fan as I am of the final product of his musical contributions, Maynard should be interviewing you, honestly.
As a mother to a son myself and a life long Tool fan, I love that he loves his mother so much.
Menard is probably my favorite singer of all time. I can’t begin to tell you how great tool was when it came out, so different and amazing
Tool and Puscifer have been life-changing.
I needed this my 2 biggest Idols/role models In life love you guys
Weird since these two are complete the opposite of each other
@@viking_nor They are very different but very similar in a lot of ways like similar interests.
Maynard talking about Argentina wine. It makes me happy. Viva Argentina.

I am a huge Tool fan. Actually my husband and I, that cemented our relationship lol I was just jamming to them before I found this. I love the interview. To say it's just poems, blows me away. I suppose that's him crucifying his ego because their music is, incredible is too small a word. I love meeting new tool fans and seeing how it changes their lives
Tool is me and my husbands favorite band too! I don't have a favorite Tool song, that's impossible, but if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, it would be Reflection.
This is awesome! My two favorite dudes in the world, Maynard and Steve-O!
Much love !
1:13:39 "The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide". I was finally given that mind set after I "hit rock bottom". It was the best thing that had ever happened to me. When it happened it was like a giant door in my mind was open for the first time and I could finally see, like my mind had been reprogramed. I believe that everyone is living in a bubble, metaphorically speaking, and are unable to see outside of that bubble. When you open certain doors in your mind it expands that bubble, and when I hit rock bottom it expanded that bubble to the point where I thought it had been completely removed. It wasn't until years later through my own ignorance that I finally realized that the bubble was still there, it had only been expanded. Life experiences, thoughts, smells, tastes, things you see, hear, feel, anything can trigger one of these doors to open at any point so it's good to close yourself off from the world once in a while and just go searching in your mind, you never know when you might find a key.
