Maynard Does 'The Grudge' Scream After 20 Year Hiatus (2022)

[@rubaidaallen2764]

I heard the Grudge scream in all its glorious glory live several times 20 years ago. It's now 2022. If MJK can no longer do the scream, then he can't. The mans had Covid and he's what 57? Give him a break. He sounds fn amazing by the way 👏👏👏

[@mrkind13]

Bro he did the scream tho. That's amazing af. And yeah he'll yeah this dude been calm now he don't have all that in him like he used to BUT he wants us all to know he can whoop Jesus ass in a heart beat.

I don't want to start something with a Tool fan, nope i really don't but i want to say something about MJK too. Mate, can you please take a moment and look at Danny please? That guy is 60 and he literally plays better than his youth. That's work ethics for you. 57 is not an old age, especially if you are doing the vocals. There are hundreds of rock vocalists out there that could sing better than current MJK besides being older than him. It seems to me that MJK stopped caring about his vocals - and may be band Tool- long ago. I mean, im a lifetime Tool fan and i literally play them songs on my guitar and all but last 15 years... I really can't say nice things about MJK, concerning Tool. He has other bands and other songs now. Tool became the side project and in his new bands, in his new songs, he doesn't need a killer strong vocal. He just sings casually. That's all for me. Peace out.

His grudge against covid alright.

[@mrkind13]

FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS HOLY GOD DAMN HE STILL GO IT!

[@chriscary9269]

I don’t care if Maynards pushing 80 and using auto tune. Just stay alive and sing.

[@GimmeJimmy23]

Thank you! Have some compassion, right? Most singers that have been in the game as long as Maynard aren't half the singer they were when they started. This guy has kept 99% of his juice, so far as I can tell, despite two bouts of covid, sustained lung damage, and *clears throat* his advanced age. (Feels weird to think of Maynard as an almost senior citizen.)

[@ChakLok]

That means Danny is 90

[@Cultivation420]

I don't want them to be remembered like The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger flapping around on stage doing his signature "atomic rooster" in his 80s looks ridiculous.

[@Tebay71]

He’d never use auto tune. He’s not a country singer, or rapper.

[@sevenempestfxntoolsoad3183]

Literally would still go watch them lol

[@celestialscripture]

12 seconds. That's still a hell of a scream.

[@hedonisticmisanthrope]

After he got COVID 3 times too!

[@jacobmcduffee7445]

Hell yeah, he can!!!

[@justj9805]

After 20 years he was definitely ready for his "GRUDGE" to be unleashed onto the world yet again and allow his voice and his loyal musically talented colleagues to lead the masses.

[@scottbrooks736]

This band is nothing short of amazing

He held it longer for sure in Tacoma 2022. Wasn't expecting it at all; just incredible!

[@scottlefaivre6889]

Dude had COVID two times now and his admitted long complications since then I wouldn't expect him to hold that endurance test out the whole length I wonder how he does on push it

I bet it felt good letting that out. Go another two more seconds for my frustrations. He still has it. .

It's half the length but a lot better than before when he wasn't doing it at all! Glad he's got some of his voice back. I wonder how?

[@Shevchenko_DBR9]

Idc how long he does it now. The original recording was like 25 seconds. Unreal.

[@asmrbynature3057]

Thanks Guys....been a fan back in 91' ...I've been playing drums for 30plus years, I still can't master one Tool song, I mean I can play like 90% but there's those Danney Paradiddle flop chops with 16 on the floor, 4/4 on hats, and some other thing on the ride happening while using toms as off accents and snare is on a 2/4 posi beat..

I was at that 1st show of the Lateralus tour in Atlanta 2001. The wait was hours outside The Tabernacle because that was the start of people printing fake tickets so they were checking everyone's tickets with the machines. The show was delayed hours. They opened with this song. Those were the days. So damn amazing!! I saw them at the 1st Lollapalooza too😁 way back when

[@brandenrogers9507]

Now If only someone could share a video of that first Lateralus show

[@sunnys3325]

@@brandenrogers9507 dude! I'm always keeping an eye out for it. I've been to hundreds of rock b metal shows and THAT one will always be the most memorable... also, the 2 chicks next to us were dancers from another state so after the show was memorable too 😁 it was like I won the lottery

[@JosephWilhoit-ef6nl]

Seen them 3 times on that tour later on in Atlanta Greenville sc and Charlotte. Amazing tour I tried everything I could do to get tickets for that show it was the tabernacle show me and 3 friends even drove down there to scalp tickets with no luck but we stayed outside u could hear them stayed outside through the whole show great memories lol

[@Sarah-pq8kj]

Terrible recording. MJK sounds way different in real life. I've witnessed it live in all incantations over the years and he takes my breath away every time.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Absolutely. Live there's nothing like the Grudge. Recordings are rarely good. You have to hear MJK to appreciate what an amazing frontman he is. His voice is unreal 🔥🔥🔥

Wouldn't that be great? They did it on the Lateralus tour and it was one of the highlights for me along with Reflection. I'm not sure about Ticks... but one can always hope 🤞

[@lopolik]

@@rubaidaallen2764 Ticks and Leeches is the hardest Tool song to sing probably.. I am actually surprised he did the scream in the new Opiate2 recording, because I see the live versions he omitted the ending scream.

[@TheJayhawkjoe]

I got to see this live in 16. Oh yeah, and No Quarter

[@AnluPemak]

You mean 13 years of Hiatus. 10.000 Days was released in 2006, Fear Incoculum in 2019. And they did tour in between. So what hiatus was lasting 20 years? I saw them in 2017 for example.

[@wareaglefishing3575]

the only band I haven't witnessed and im running out of time. BEEN A FAN SINCE OPIATED. im 45 now despite not ever seeing them they are one of the greatest live acts ever.my buddy seen them at a small venue here in winnipeg and to this day it still haunts him. the bottom is my favorite song, and lateralus is a masterpiece in all its form.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Get tickets if you can. I've said this before and I'll say it again, Tool is an experience like no other. I've been to countless concerts over the years and apart from my beloved Depeche Mode, Tool is the only other band I've seen live that brought tears of joy. Their shows are visceral and bring nothing but pure joy and happiness. Make it your business to see them because you will not be disappointed 😌

Well he did half the length of the scream, but hey why risk blowing yourself out at the beginning of a tour.

[@nathanrichard4357]

That was full length it sounded like

[@lastgreathand-drawnproduct3843]

He'll abridge himself live during more demanding parts to maintain his voice throughout the show. It's something he's smartly always done, dating back to the yell at the end of Bottom even in '93.

I've always noticed the remnants of the loop/delay settings. The trails are different to a naturally vocalised fade.

It doesn't add much extra, but it allows Maynard to take a breath and use the cover to aid the effect.

[@unclegumbald989]

I think I’m hearing some sort of digital like, sustaining or echoing to draw out the scream...? 🤔

[@jonhahn6557]

Yeah I think he uses several different voice effects on some of the songs to help him. But I'm completely fine with that because he sings for a living you can get wore out and he is older.

I mean it's 12 seconds instead of the original being 25 seconds.. Just like with the new Opiate re-recording he can still do it, not as powerful or long as back in the day...

[@wlwhistlelucy1868]

I wish he sung Stinkfist like he used to. Now he does this weird singing part,🤷🏻‍♂️I’m sure he could still do it as it’s not a strenuous some other track they still play live,

[@allboutthemojo]

In my opinion he cannot do it and he also can't be expected to sing like he used to . He is 57 and they have toured a lot so it's perfectly normal for the mileage to show. I am a huge Tool fan but I prefer hearing their album recordings , not the live shows. Adam also has too many " mishaps and variations " on stage that just don't cut it for me , but when they're in the studio it's clear that they are brilliant as the new album shows. Can't get enough of listening to all of their recordings. The album version of the Grudge scream was studio manipulated anyway. Not real because only an opera singer can sustain the same volume of a lengthy scream without variation in pitch!
