Maynard James Keenan: The Art of Work Pt. 4 (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer) 

Very strong way to handle life

This guy is a phenomenon! Just an absolute complete human being.

John W yeah so powerful. I’d get this tattooed, but I’d change it to “ I either win or I learn” 🌟

I want it to be my mantra

Teg

That’s Jiu Jitsu.

@@randallN-sw6ee nothing fake about Maynard

I would kiss him.

Helps to have 50-60 million in the bank and a lot of spare time

@@kurtr.8907 LOL! A lot of spare time? Try making wine on top of fronting 3 bands and see how much spare time you have.

shufflemonkey lol yeah

I think im just completely in love with everything about this man. He just keeps becoming more and more amazing the more I learn about him. He kind of scares me because I don't think humans are this awesome so im suspicious🤔 freaked out and turned on. His wife is one lucky lady!

tlwest21 i know right hun! I’ve made it my life mission to meet him and have an awesomely intense intellectual conversation with him then have amazing soul conscious ... you can fill in the gap I’m not from the states but when I set my mind to something... a girl can dream lol 😆 I will meet him and hopefully have the intellectual convo at least 😍I’ve met a heap of bands and I wasn’t even hunting them out was purely random! His intelligence is so sexy and work ethic 💕 and music 🎶 is out of this world the clocks ticking I’ve given myself 5 yrs I’ll keep you posted if I fulfil my mission 😂 peace ✌️ love 💕 and awesome tunes 🎶

Nope... but it is some of his original artwork. All of the covers are.

shufflemonkey he's not even top 10.. shush child

Fans: Making fine whine

Let that man enjoy some good wine

@@Sternertime nobody gives a shit you have low selfesteem and selfproject on RU-vid. Get a doctor! *Thanks for using RU-vid comments selfdiagnostic tool v. 3.1 (Cloudserver 9 bet. 2)*

​@@iwannarock101good one, bub! wait moar!

it's not Maynard that they are taking so long you idiot. it's the band making the music. the music comes first then Maynard adds the vocals.

lmao love your videos man

Same

Really dude?

@@larryzeno7133 "Rolling" is sparing in jiu-jitsu.

I roll too... just would be unfocused due to the reality of who I was doing it with. I rolled with Dan, but in a different way.

I was recommended for me...

probably you had to watch a few Tool and bjj videos... ;)

They did it for me

stop looking for cat videos XD

@@EnriqueGuerreroO But cats are cool!

Amir Frost yeah totally agree dude

They got sued and were tied up in a lawsuit over some artwork. He even references lawsuits in the first episode. Hard to work with that stuff looming over you plus the legal aspects of it.

yeah it has been stated in multiple interviews that Maynard comes into the picture after the guys are done with instrumentals. I would rather wait for quality than something mediocre like APC's latest.

I'm not sure it makes Tool fans immature that they want or expect a new album after 12 years. I think you would be hard pressed to find another band, that didn't break up or lose a band member, to take so long between albums.

@@allsystemsgo8678 I agree. Some of it has been a fear or breaking up, or extreme style changes to the music. So many bands, if they don't break up, change their style so much it's hard to even recognize the music. And that's just after a few years. Not the decades Tool has been rocking. Their style has changed. The music is more refined. I like the first 3 more. But I still have excitement for releases.

My favorite was Mike Scheidt from YOB. Amazing human being.

I am sad that now all my heroes are getting old

Go watch Keanu Reaves.. Never seen anyone more humble.. He runs a motor biker shop.. His passion..

@@wifuu4941 same

@@SirRorschachJack and he plays on bass 🙂

I wish people realized what a huge emotional burden idolatry is for these guys. I would come to resent it. I don't want adulation. I want the respect of my peers. If I had such talent I would say, "Come and see me. Buy my albums. Realize that what I do causes changes in you, how you look at the world and how you feel. That does not create intimacy between us. I do not owe you anything more than what I have done. I do not know you. Understand that I want my life and happiness too."

N_Nate138th nope, he is a kickass alien

Fuzz Demon that makes a lot of sense Always remember : you can kill Ego without dying .

Props

Fuzz Demon awesome man. Keep it up

Good on ya man. Stay the path👍

Awesome.

A true inspiration

Clan Lightfoot he’s ok

​@@jubankta1627 he's very inspiring... That makes him great...

Honestly I do too

I'm with you mate, still can't believe Chris is gone, always on my thoughts

Same.

And with Chris gone... the loss of Chester, as well :-/

every day

Hes also a b movie actor

Jujitsu and cabuara. Awesome combo

It would be amazofriggen...tastic to work on his vinyard..I would work there for free..just to get to work with maynard!

Hahaha good shit

"Tie your shoes together - then leave" ??

Cities would be emptied. The tide of human civilization would be altered.

@@jpurvis1 he's likely a liberal and would open the boarders wide and flood us with millions of 3rd worlders

@@bilbobaggins4710 I knew some dotard would chime in on this one.🤦‍♀️

@@bilbobaggins4710 When you do become a "critical thinker" (here's hoping) maybe you'll also become more secure in your masculinity.

@@bilbobaggins4710 Notice the sudden appearance of caps(shouting) after an intelligent person calls out his masculinity or lack thereof.

Is that me on there?

Perfect comment, my thoughts exactly!

erravi hey. Just wanted to send you a virtual accolade. Depression is a bitch and to hear you saying you found some light here is just a proof you won't be beaten easily! What Maynard says is what Maynard is. All he portrays in this series resonates with me so strongly perhaps because there is so much truth and authenticity in the message. This message is: in order to live a happy life, you need meaning. To find meaning you need to search. So you need to make an effort, it's hard. But that's good. You then need to be ok with the fact you can't get things right straight away and that you're gonna make mistakes. So then you need to be creative. Which means being your own, or on your own. And martial arts and music emulates that. So anyway sorry for ranting but whatever resonated with you in this video is what you are searching in the universe. But more importantly know that the universe is searching for you to get this very thing. You saw the sign that you needed. Open up to the signs, be ok to change. Changing is scary because you step into the unknown. But learning new things and going for new experiences is what makes us grow and feel alive. That's what Maynard also says. So I wish you the very best of luck. Hang in there long enough and then let yourself go into whatever the universe puts in front of you. Peace out!

2sacks1 wow, you're just being a child all over this comment section huh?

2sacks1, Your Attempt to gather attention has corrupted you. I feel for you friend, quit masking who you are and live.

I Highly doubt you have the Length to reach my mouth, Reality or Virtual friend. Are you Implying you would get "Satisfaction" From the event. One step closer to showing the World who you truly are, Don't want to say it but it's a reality. You don't need to be angry with the fact that you like Men, Just accept it and it will all come to light. Or on your Face...

I see your trying you hardest to get to me, but i'm high in the Sky. Couldn't catch me if you wanted to peasant XD I'm having a good day while you bicker, How is that going for you?... oh.....Another sign. So Self Conflicted #comeoutofthecloset

he has a nice texture

This is why Maynard doesn't like his fans.

Huh?

Bet the choke hold really help out with the (alleged) raping

You could be someone's Maynard... especially if you are true to yourself and your art

Word.

Deftones too, he’s into a lot of that era of rock n metal

That's not true at all. Getting beaten up has never stopped a Diaz from talking smack.

Without a clock the Diaz bros win 90% of their fights.

I don't like the Diaz brothers and their arrogance but I have to respect how great they are. Plus..yeah. Their taste in music's epic🤘🏻

CycoKilla13 I love Joe Rogan and his podcast but I agree, that interview was hardly an interview.

I was about to say that too. Joe Rogan is great but it's good to let the man speak lol

Joe always says his podcasts aren't really interview format.

Joe always steers the conversation to what he wants it to be. It's his podcast.

It's Joe Rogans *Podcast*. Its a dialogue not an interview.

I've been there once and it's a trippy place. Like no other town I've been to in America.

Changling Blahb, blahb , blahb .... you’re spot on w/ your comment. How did this great interview and inspiration force this girl to make it all about her . Rhetorical. Smh 🤦‍♀️

Great idea!!!!

What

Why?Serioux wuestuon

Maynard is some sort of gnostic. Very into occult universal truths. There are hardly any people in this world worthy of studying like him. Good idea for your kid!

🤘❤😂

Fuck yea.

J Jizzle I turn people on to Maynard and his work for years now , I hope he knows how much he has givin to mankind . Everyone that I show tool lyrics and perfect circle lyrics all change something in their life for the better. I use to be a stupid drunk self centered ego manic but I choked my old self out.

Fuzz Demon i understand what you mean. My lady was slowly getting me into APC, and one night, we did LSD for the first time, was the most profound and blissful experience, listening to APC, was as if I was transported elsewhere and living different lives/experiences, based on the song, was absolutely intense. From that moment forward, Maynard became an even larger part of my life. Even aside from his music, hes a admirable person in numerous other aspects. Saw APC once in Denver and that was amazing too. So now, past year or so, been bringing myself up to date on Tool. Just got interested a little late, was only into mainstream radio rap crap growing up, 18 joined the army, blind wittle sheep, so none of the music really resonated with me in a way that I could intrepet...Now, I've gone through enough and experienced enough to intrepet the music more. Long as Im growing, each time I hear a song, I intrepet it differently, its neat.

J Jizzle Congrats you woke up that night .It's hard to explain to people what you experienced but those who know what it's like to have that "spiritual " experience your in tune with now. You see the world in all its beauty and downfalls. You see people different you loose ego gain awareness and become a better person. Now search for things that give you that feeling you experienced without any mind altering substance. We all can be one conscience when we go deep within ourselves and become awakened. Now you see your shadow changing 🕉

Fuzz Demon Fuzz Demon Everything you said highly resonated with me, very well worded. After I got out the army, i started going to college and volunteering time at a local, independent car audio shop (can see from my channel that music, audio, car audio has always been big to me), after a few months of developing this close bond with the owners ( a guy and his companion/co-worker), I found out they dabbled in psychedelics a bit. At that point (like 2 years ago), I'd never been much aware on psychedelics. He told me he'd done DMT a few times and had some if I ever felt I wanted to try it. Few months go by, about the only thing I watch on it is that "DMT The Spirit Molecule" (and read very little of Strassmans book). So, ultimately, I undergo the DMT experience, and wow. Long story short, its beautifully tragic, terrifyingly profound, blissfully reality-shattering; was a divine wake up call. To this day I randomly express "thanks" for the experience that day, was so re(un)veal(veil)ing, same for LSD. Tried a tab once (my lady and i) with another couple, nothing really happened. Few months later, we (my lady and i) did lsd again (was told it was tab and a half), and absolutely everything happened. After those 2 experiences, there's a lot of illusions i see through, and a lot of things I "just get" now, its just, wow lol. So yeah, after those 2 theraputic experiences, I'm good, for a few lifetimes lol.

Amir Frost preciate that. Theres a ton that I was unaware of up until a few years ago (music wise, even movie wise, the way I experience/interpret the symbolism and allegories now vs years ago when unaware, is mind blowing, and some of that is credited to Maynard and his unorthodox, outside the box creative mind.).

Man I thought there was hair on my monitor

Shota Bakuradze XD

No

This is the final episode. Though we are also doing a three-part "Art of Work" series with Serj Tankian. Eps 1 and 2 of that are viewable on RevolverMag.com now.

+REVOLVER really love the videos ! y'all are doing great things together !

2sacks1 lots of people. grow up

2sacks1 well considering they had two number one albums in the same year which puts them in a camp with about 5 legendary bands including the Beatles, a whole fucking lot. how sad is your life?

DJIPE G are you a pointer finger?

LOL now that you mention it...

He's a thumb wrestler! Haha

No, he is a member of the Foot!

He's been training since the 90's. You'd think he would have had it by now...

😂😂😂

Hes laying down
