Kind of a snapshot of rock history, at a sort of cultural crossroads. This reminds me of what a joke "Headbangers Ball" had become at this juncture, as they were attempting to frame the present about five years behind its time. It had become sort of a game to troll "the Ball", as Maynard does here ("Gambling is for assholes" -Rollins). About this time, Cobain showed up in his "Ballroom Gown", at which point, I think the producers of "the Ball" realized they had been the brunt of the jokes for a couple of years at that point, and they mercifully pulled the plug.

He seems to be kind of condescending. Maybe that's inaccurate, but it seems that way. If it's unintentional, and he can't help his social awkwardness, then whatever. But I'm not a fan of people who treat others this way with malice. I always thought his on-stage demeanor was a theatrical thing. I respect the effort to put on a show. But listening to him speak, it makes me wonder if he is act is part of being the stereotypical "tortured" artist. Maybe he thinks of himself as a creative genius? Corny. BTW, I saw them in 1993 in Rhode Island, and that's why I clicked on this video.

Years later, Maynard owned Deftones some poker debt, and appeared on their album as a payback.

[@coryhyatt2035]

I find it funny @0:46 he says he can only focus on 1 thing at a time. Yet 30+ years later he has 3 bands and a vineyard. Lol. He has always been a humble person.

I'm terrible with body language, does that girl want to jump on Maynard?

[@ARCollaborativesCoaching]

6:49 PURE GOLD!! 😁

Damn.. It feels like yesterday, Wanessa and the Hedbeangers ball and MTV at it's prime.. man, what a great moment in time... I had to google her, she is 58 (all good), but... time does fly, we should enjoy every moment. Wanesa.. you will be in our hearts forever!

Love his voice I can tell that it was around the time he wrote Opiate and Undertow what a great introspective.

You can smell this video

Maynard being interviewed while RATM plays in the background is the most 90s shit

[@teeoheneye]

Holy baby faces and hair extensions back then.. *meanwhile just being pushed out of womb in the year of 1993. I really missed out on MTV moments.. *Canada didn't get MTV back then not that I know of unless it's PPV. Remembering how indulged I was and becoming a fan throughout MySpace then experiencing racist fans comment on my profile "Tool doesn't want black people listening to their music". *this is me going down a nostalgic memory and still appreciating buying their CDs because if that was EVER really the case then by all means this is why we don't meet our heroes and I've learned to admire from a far. 30 years old now. I get a euphoric high finding clips such as this of my favourite bands who made sounds I could get audibly drunk off of, love it, LOVE IT FOREVER and I don't care what anyone thinks.

What a time to be alive

[@nomadic626]

"we're going back to L.A. to dodge bullets and continue to write music". this is during the L.A. Riots.

[@alexelahayashi1317]

So if I get into debt with TOOL, I can sing on their next album??

[@jangles7906]

Ha! Maynard is such a little runt. Look how small he is! LOL!

[@male272]

The reluctant god. Only artist I can listen to, anytime, any work, anywhere, and have for a little over 30 years...and it doesn't get tired. Tool has found that leading edge where Quality is equally defined as both subjective and objective...and that is something sorely lacking in our world, despite it being what true artists seek. Industrial art isn't directed by this principle.
