Saw a show in Boston and he literally said "take any vinyl you want" (for free) and I handed him cash and just said thank you and he signed all of them. One of the most hard working/passionate musicians you'll meet.
I got obsessed about John this year. I can't stop listening to his songs!
i always find myself coming back, he really has an unique sound
me too!! Just found him!
Hes great
John is great on record, but you just don't get that intense dedication he has without seeing him live. Look at this man, this is a man who puts everything into every lyric he sings.
Wish he would come to Brazil
Seriously. I love his live performances. The recordings are great of course, but it’s not as touching once you see him perform.
I will not rest until i see this man live
*update*
I saw him live a couple of months back, its one of the best shows i have ever seen and the day after i had the priviledge to sit with him and his band at a local Taco Bell.
Godspeed to John and his bandmates! (Rest in peace Joe, i will never forget you)
Seems like your wish came true better than you could have imagined huh? That's awesome.
@@captainchippie4454 absolutely! I still carry that moment with me and i think of it a lot. It never fails to make me smile when i think of said moment!
versnellingspookie now that’s what I call a wish come true!!! ✨
I'm so envious of you! Now that's a memory I'm sure you'll cherish forever. Congratulations on a great achievement!
You can rest now !
I'm ready to see this amazing guy in 2023
so down
Oh yea
Where? When?
we will never get to see him live, sadly.
@@MichaeIKay Why is that ?
the drummer is underappreciated
Yeah. Maus compositions are really giving him a hard time
How? I think you're the only asshole under appreciating anyone
He’s drumming for Ariel Pink as well last time I checked.
Not as much as he used to be. He’s playing with other bands here and there. He’s exceptionally talented.
@@XDanimalzX is there footage of him playing with ap?
I went early to a J Maus show and by chance ran into him outside the venue by himself. He is just the same in person and a very amazing person and unbelievably kind and friendly. We spoke for 20 minutes. Very cool guy.
same!
John maus is the embodiement of the welsh word "Hiraeth" :a yearning or nostalgia for a place that never existed or will never exist again.
Discovered him with the song "copkiller" and cant get enough of this mystery of a man. Thank you for existing and creating, John Maus
5:30 - the video editor felt like this was worth being seen.
Ha ha ha this is funny meme yes lololol
Veri good
still, the keyboardplayer styled it out in big style
just kept going like nothing happened, well done on his part
This particular section of RUclips hasn’t had enough views
Touchdown 0:26
Streetlight 4:17
...And the Rain 11:27
Pets 14:22
heyo can spare my music a listen i know im suppose to be like oh self deprecating promotion humour now but i love music and want share mine: ruclips.net/video/oFmkARKfwDo/видео.html
Responding because I'm tired of going super down in the comments every time I listen to this performance. Thank you, Brian, you've been more helpful than you think.
The Drummer looks like Poindexter from Revenge of the Nerds
@@ivan1793 !
Ily
Every guy in the band looks like a professional gamer. I like it.
I am a phantom over the battlefield
Maus looks like a professor though.
gamers are the most oppressed group
Professionnel gamers ? yes ! But not american pros because they're not fat enough... The drummer looks like a model compared to a genuine american video games enthusiast .... LOL !!
@@ALEKS-c4x Oh I know!
RIP Joe Maus, you were such a good soul and a very nice man. It was an honor to meet you.
?
@@dogalize_ , he passed away on tour over the summer: www.reddit.com/r/indieheads/comments/92wctq/joseph_maus_john_maus_brother_and_bandmate_dead/
Arturo R. Dominguez nooooo 😭😭😭
I was going to see them play and was so excited to hear Joe, he is shinning in this video.
whattt, he is not dead lol
I'm so sorry for John's loss. I wish he could still play live like this. I hope he manages to keep making awesome music like always.
what happened to him?
@@Merlin_Pricehis brother, the one playing base, died few years ago
@@crieste7324 Thanks for filling me in. I hope he went peacefully.
As far as I know he performs live but there isn't a band with him so its just like a version of his songs without vocals and he karaoke's it up by his lonesome.
''6 years felt like a week'' i love this insane guy
I feel that way all the time, feels like yesterday I was 19 hearing him, now I'm 27 and wonder wtf I have contributed to this world if anything at all
@@fenrir5361 I mean, if you get an old pair of shoes AND give it to someone Who needs it dont record it and keep it to yourself I know it sounds dumb but you contribute a Lot to the world. Please try it and if you already do this you are such an amazing person. I love john maus I'm from Argentina AND the closests I Will be to him Is that may 15, Ariel Pink Will come to Argentina
that drummer tho - precision as its best - to make people thing that its actually computer generated beat is beautiful
13:20 - 13:55
unbelievable. you can tell the band felt it too. that drummer is really good. nice work maus.
The way they're empowered by our god John
I know right, that part is so cathartic
Matt. 5. [45]
Im a big fan of John Maus. Give the drummer some.....hes so on point
Yes Yes Rudeboy the drummer falls in love with me
Gotta give props to the guy on keyboard on pets. He's just dancing doing his own thing feeling the music
Eyes so intense, they're like a portal to another dimension, with a warm child's smile....how is he real, I love him.
He truly is a warm guy in person. We happily chatted for an hour after his show in New Orleans in '11. Highly intelligent yet very "down to earth" and quite approachable. Love him. MAD respect ♥
I was able to meet him twice, and got to chat with him for a bit after he played in Austin this year. I freaked out after a minute and panicked, and couldn't hold the convo up longer than that, haha, but he was very kind and generous. I'm so lucky I got to meet my musical hero. Glad you did too! :)
This man is insane and I’m here for all of it. So damn authentic.
I sometimes cry as I listen to this. Such a beautiful performance.
crying
They should've recorded the whole album in this studio and publish it. Actually all his albums. The sound is just breathtaking. Live instruments better than computer. Awesome performance. Thanks so much.
And thanks for coming to Frankfurt Germany btw. It was awesome.
Love his music! Hope he comes back someday!
He's coming back!
I got goosebumps once I pretended these were a few band kids that urged their cool (but down on luck) substitute teacher (Mr. Maus) to play the talent show with them
He actually was a substitute teacher
lol i actually had this teacher. He does shows at pubs part time and i see him every now and then and he always says "Hey! theres my rockstar!" whenever i see him. He was my teacher 15 years ago.
@@sherpaderpdingo3405 thats such a wholesome story. I would love to see him play.
HOLY SHIT
He's got that very energetic "crazy professor" vibe. In a good way.
God I love discovering someone new. Where has he been all my life? Brilliant!! Scott Walker, New Order - all kinds of vibes going on here.
Deep sadness.
RIP Joe.
PS: Thanks for all your wonderful bass lines
Damn this guy is so awesome.
ossum?
BEST EVER
And he is dead now..
Coops joe is, not John
New Maus fan here , f'n fantastic set. So warm + in sync + good feeling.
The drummer is killing it! Amazing show!
John's vocals on this version of streetlight give me chills. Fucking crazy.
The lighting in that studio is pure class...love it
I love listening to John talk. :)
There's something interesting about John Maus plainclothes, average joe look. With a singing style like that, you'd think he would have some funky costume on. I like the minimalism in this kind of synth pop though.
what does "this kind of synth pop" mean, who else sounds like this? genuine question not rhetorical
JUST LIKE DAVID BYRNE!
@@ianbrowning2190 check out goth bands from the 80s. There's also my buddy Gulf Blvd
NORMCORE
Hes a reptilian just blending in
I saw him in Boston back in February, even though there was no band he still put on a stellar show
I watch this everyday. RIP Joe...
he dead brah ?
@@thomasdupont7186 yes
@@adderon damned
U r not alone.
john wears that shirt every day/live show, that is the john maus staple shirt
Those unique moments you feel the power of a live performance 5:36 ! Rest easy Joe you´ll never be forgotten!
He literally encapsulates every feeling, memory and meaning in every song, like hes remembering what the lyrics mean at the moment, kinda like conjure something from those lyrics
John u are so amazing I need your music everyday in my life
Drummer and Piano/Synth guy were absolutely fire in the live band section!!!! Hopefully they reform soon. Seeing John at BKLYN Steel
this is great
OMG!!! Mi reina hermosa viendo un live performance de John Maus?? Más perfecta no puedes ser ❤❤
@@stanleyzechariah6408 yeah I just gave my bank account info to a guy who called my phone with an Indian accent, but says we know each other.... says he has money to deposit in my account!
oh yes, it’s like a dumb and fascist version Ian Curtis, trump wins
This is life changing to me!!!!
John Maus has really stepped it up over the last year with the new band!
The damn feels, wow, what a performance! Each song describes a feeling that feels nostalgic and yet emphatically/viscerally enveloping.
Woah I was just hoping for precisely this video and it literally just pops up on my feed man what
I’m very happy to see him not ‘jack-knifing at the waist’ here, and I hope he never does that again. The worst thing in the world is to throw out your back. Self-injury is unnecessary to this great music. This is so much better - a direct focus on singing, and in the presence of supporting musicians. This is the best live video of John I’ve seen yet, thank you - and thank you John, for going easier on your body.
the line between genius and madman is said to be thin, John Maus is certainly on that high end of genius, the kind that breaches "madman" love this guy...
Still so good.
Especially with headphones, you can really hear every drum beat-so good.
i watch this about once a month. hope to see john perform again
The spotify algorithm led me to him and i instantly got hooked. Love his virtuosity!
I love this man so much. It's amazing to hear him be so self deprecating about his music
joe and john and the drummer and the synth man.......all so perfect and at their prime here.
Thanks for this.
This audio and video is a perfect reason to explore the world.
I wish John would let these intense, raw vocals come through more on the studio versions of these tracks...”And The Rain” in particular sounds so much better here than the album imo. Both are great but I love Maus live
Love is real
You are gay
Hey it's the guy who taught me how to play checkers
Brian Nam love isreal
what up aaron
Best 18 minute and 57 seconds of my life
R.I.P. Joe Maus.
Safe travels, Joe.
Gone way too soon. Not forgotten.
I wish John Maus had more appearances today
I saw John maus in Austin Texas last month in February, had no idea his brother died then. RIP Joe maus. I hope John and his family a good and blessed life.
The drummer is killing it 🔥
Tidy af 👏
I was a teen in the early 1980's and this guy rocks!!!!
Outstanding performance! And props to the drummer for that Gary War shirt, very nice.
the snare is so perfect I want to cry
And the Rain is amazing live!
saw him open for Ariel Pink in SF a while ago... what a great discovery
the And The Rain rendition is insane
Glad to see him finally have some live performance of the music with him.
I wish this was an hour long. I just revisited the we must become album and was like "oh yeah I forgot, this is the best music ever made." Now I've listened to only that album for the last month. It's become almost an obsession. I feel that soon enough I will turn into some type of Howard Hughes character, only instead of locking myself in a room with 3 inch long fingernails and surrounded by Mason jars full of my piss, I'll be listening to that album in my shower with headphones on or while I'm in line at the grocery store. There has got to be a support group for this right?
This is clean & way hypnotic. Super inspirational.
Its nice discovering new music
Preach bro
Always professional... never pretentious.
This may have won the internet for this week
I found this recently and it made me so happy. Three of my fav songs!!!
Great performance of ...And the Rain!
Love is real, love for john maus is. Thanks for the perfomance
John Maus is the poet laureate and resident philosopher of indie rock
…And The Rain always hits me but this live performance was on another level. Really can’t put it in to words.
what did you do in the last 6 years ? well it felt like a nanosecond , classic john maus.
saw him 2 years ago, what an intense performer
Rest easy Joe. Love.
5:31 2nd headphone falls of. Not a single f* was given
wow - i never saw John Maus perform live before … this was really intense and a pleaseant Expansion to the Album versions... thx John & kexp!
Excellent musicians!
John Maus for president.
Joe Maus was the bass player, right? I wish him well and may he rest in peace.
he still alive dumb ass
@@prot0Tpe10 Joe, not John, honey!
@@prot0Tpe10 sounds like ur the dumbass lol
Rest in peace Joe Maus. Gone but not forgotten.
I want to see him live so bad. I wish one one day it will come true
tortured genius = amazing melancholy art
Big fan! 👏👏👏👏
He needs to make a new album
..And The Rain🤘⚘
"SOMEBODY TELL ME THE TRUTH!"
And this live version sounds amazing!
Drums are Perfect!
What an incredible guy and musician and what a band he has such the perfect fusion of musicians together everything they write is a masterpiece just awesome music can’t wait to see and hear them live!! 👌👍🏻
Rest In Peace Joe Maus
TheLucidIntermission apparently, according to johns ex ,the one he was recently married to,she posted on Instagram that it was a drug overdose, but that has not been confirmed at all yet. According to her there’s a drug problem within the band or something. The whole thing is really sad and I can’t imagine what everybody who was close to joe was. He seemed like he had a good heart and was very talented.
My tiny, Serbian heart can't handle this.
mine too
flaneurgh listening to him should expand the tiny aspect. Hehe:)
same
Devotion to craft, John Maus and band are the real deal.
7:16 I love how the guy has to take a breath in the middle of the album's name.
Loved every moment although I've never seen him so subdued both during the performance and interview.
when he talks he's kind of like a jim carrey character come to life
Man, you ruined John Maus for me, that's hilarious!
i´ve been watching this for the last 60 days, everyday, i guess...
He's so intense and passionate when he sings! Almost like he's performing death metal! 😂❤
this is some significant addition to music
John Maus is a tough guy, so talented. Thx lovely KEXP! ^^
