PUSCIFER AUSTRALIAN TV Fan Q & A Session January 2017...

[@FrankBoothPBR]

Most of the comments are negatively picking apart everything and how painful Maynard is to watch in interviews like he hasn't always been somewhat of a smartass. I think it's refreshing because you never really know what he's going to say. At least he's honest if he doesn't want to answer a question he doesn't or he has a smartass answer sometimes. People nowadays are too fragile and want to know too much it's not really necessary. If you don't like him in interviews watch Justin Bieber interviews.

[@bonniebianco5918]

Sarcasm is lost on morons.

[@sussybaka551]

Agreed. Imagine how many times he has answered the same exact questions over the decades. Not to mention, he's an introvert.

Kennan could really benefit from trying to not be awkward. I get it, society is boring, questions are boring, going through the motions is uninteresting, but dude, you don't need to give an awkward cheeky response each time. Just be chill and normal most of the time.

[@ekajgaint5663]

I just think he has trouble connecting with people, Joe Rogan says that around alot of people he is awkward and hard to socialise with

[@LAkadian]

Seemed like Matt felt a little insecure about his level of creative control and Maynard's fame. Keenan realized it and started trying to throw questions back to him to show his respect... and Carina was just trying to mediate. It could have been a hell of lot more awkward, as all 3 seemed to be smooth with each other by the end of the interview. Seemed like Matt subtly hinted that he wanted to write a Puscifer song or lead the direction for a song, and Maynard implied he'd be cool with trying it out. Also, there seemed to be some sexual tension between Maynard and Carina, but I couldn't blame either of them for feeling that way. Maynard is married, but it's okay to admit you're attracted to someone. Overall, their band dynamic clearly works, as it has continued to give us great music! These guys are fire.

[@shortcircuit2336]

It may seem mundane for an artist to answer tedious questions at an annoying interview. It is uncomfortably pointless for artists when they figure someone should feel or know what they are expressing if you listen to them but for a fan it does something inspiring and really helps the fan understand who they are listening to. Some artists are not authentic or make much sense and neither does the interviews they put out that have no reason whatsoever. These artist put out some pretty important messages so these interviews show that they are about the music they release. It really does help us all to know that we are learning about our influences and keeps us inspired knowing that they are the real deal and not coined on the market. I appreciate the input and understand the struggle to be serious about it at the same time because I get it. Today it is getting hard to keep music alive due to the digital age. Pretty soon robots will take over. We will be listening to A.I. voices and performances that never existed. I hope that's not the case but the love of money overtakes the love for music and with the industry today it wouldn't surprise me if this is the last of it. I would have a great time being interviewed even if it was the same questions over and over because I would know that there is more artists put there learning and music is still alive and breathing. Otherwise it is fake and propped. That concept seems to be more involved today and evolving in the future. I wonder if I will ever make it on stage or even have an interview or will my music be sold and performed or stolen and faked by technology. Lol... too early? (Edit)---> what I mean is I hope I get a chance to express in the future for what it's worth and not stolen and copied by listening devices in cellphones .

@@AndrewHaugRadio Hey. I'm not trying to take sides with "Rabee" but the questions were not really the problem. you need to engage the people you are interviewing, work off their questions and maybe ask something that is related. Also, it would be nice to actually look and act as if you are interested in what they has to say after a question is answered, especially if it is something you are interested in or if they gave a really good answer. don't just ask another question, engage with them a little bit and seamlessly lead them to the next. BTW you did a good job. I am not a troll and I am not looking to give you flack, its just my opinion and I thought I would give you some positive criticism.

[@thegreatashby9076]

I would like to highlight some of the subtle body language signals from both Maynard and Carina here. 1 Maynard fiddles with his wedding ring and is almost always covering it, this is very significant when you take in to account his direction towards Carina. 2 Maynard interrupts Carina a few times here, this would not be significant at all however, Maynard very rarely interrupts people..... specifically women. It becomes even more significant when you take into account his direction towards her and the fact shes facing away from him. 3 Carina tilts her head backwards and shows her neck when she looks at Maynard, this is a sexual tease we have been handed down from chimpanzees. This indicates that she has sexual power over him. Even more so when you consider the moments she turns away from him yet still bites her lip when he talks. 4 26:43 I'm not trying to suggest these two are having an affair, i just wish to point out that on a sexual market value scale....... Maynard has met his match. The chemistry is there.

Nah. She was fine. Matt and Maynard were just trying to get a feel for how much to let each other speak, and Carina was just being chill. All three seemed somewhat tired as well... and Puscifer may have started as a joke, but it's not anymore. They have a LOT of deep, serious lyrics. Ever heard, "Green Valley", "Humbling River", or "The Remedy"? Maynard's the leader, and an expert singer and lyricist, but I can tell that you wouldn't last long in the industry and have probably never been in a band either, because you never say some shit like that to your bandmates. The work quality would suffer, and they might even quit. Maynard is amazingly talented, and he did start the band, but it is now a BAND.
