Rick is a different interviewer than what artists have to put up with. Rick is not a journalist who has to do an interview with an artist he doesn’t like, or one that is full of himself, is provoking artists to get quotes to sell magazines or intentionally misquotes trying to cause a shitstorm for publicity. Rick is a musician himself and genuinely cares about the people he interviews and their art. It shows. And the artists see that. And then they let their guard down, because he is not one of the vultures they usually get.

Maynard isn’t just phenomenal song writer and singer, he’s an inspirational human being who doesn’t buy into the stereotypical ‘rock star’ life style. He does his own thing, he focuses on his passions regardless of how that sits with his music persona. He comes across as a confident, thoughtful, intelligent man who doesn’t have the usual demons many in his profession have battled with. Maynard and his music have been truly inspirational to me personally, given me strength in hard times and the confidence to follow my passions. Excellent interview Rick, cheers man.

When he was entering the 'rock star' lifestyle he was really into it. In the sense of depraved sex, narcissism and the latter. He talked about it a few times about it all coming on so fast and not knowing how to deal with it. The only reason the music existed, was because of said demons. Thankfully he's chilled out during the years into the fine intelligent man you speak of.

A lot of interviewers tend to ask the exact same questions over and over again, which can be annoying. Rick kind of starts out the same when he opens with his "Why three bands?" line of questioning, but he starts going into different places that allow Maynard to go over topics that haven't been done to death. He also has very specific technical knowledge about both music and instruments which I'm sure is very refreshing, like when they started talking about the Fairlight keyboard, something your average Rolling Stone interviewer isn't going to be able to discuss.

Just a darkness and deep emotion in his voice. Almost shaman like. As I took in the lyrics and music, it was THAT SCREAM that shook my soul and inner psyche. I was literally shaking my head back and forth and started to shed tears, as if all the grudges and anger that I had ever held inside was released in a mad fury. Then he goes "Let go. Let go. Let go..." as it builds into that intense climax and coda. With the bad ass Carey drums and triplets at the end. Wow! It was quite an experience. It was like an exorcism of my inner demons finally released. And in my mind, I ended up forgiving a lot of people in my past that did me wrong or screwed me over.

What an excellent interview. Interviews like this makes me enjoy their art even more. Love it.

The interview I was waiting for not only me I guess Thanks Rick and Maynard

The "space" they were talking about him leaving in his melodies is precisely what I love about how Maynard works his lyrics into the music. It's unlike any other singers I can think of

Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here

I'm only 25 mins into this interview and I'm going to say, this is probably the best Maynard interview I've ever seen. He's totally relaxed,the questioning is on point and seem totally in his comfortable zone.

This interview is a new classic. Maynard is a serious and intense guy, and Rick is the perfect person to interview him on a serious level. You can see the mutual respect. You keep killing it, Rick! 👍

Tool has been around a while, but Puscifer has not. Perhaps it’d not have been a point that people would take issue with, had you mentioned them instead of Tool. Either way, I get your point, and I feel you. Most people don’t continue to appreciate new music/new bands past a certain age (I think 30 is about right.. actually I think there’s studies that back this up), and it’s kind of a shame because there are so many good younger bands (and older bands/artists doing new things) who are making incredible music that’s just as impressive as anything from the musical/genre lineage that they’re existing in, and influenced by. There’s also a lot of crap, sure, but that’s no excuse to write off newer music altogether, and a lot of people do…

Fantastic interview! Thank you!

Watching a Rick Beato video reminds me of watching MTV in their prime when music felt essential to everything.

I can only imagine all the questions you'd like to have asked as a fan of MJK Rick, but you as a professional and cool interviewer had the discipline to keep it as you did. Thank you for all you do for music appreciation.

Loved it, thank you!

Terrific interview... one of the best I've seen with Maynard.

it's so nice to listen to a Maynard interview when it is with someone he wanted to interview him. for Maynard to take the time during this busy season shows that he must respect Rick.

Bravo Rick. As much as I love MJK's interviews where he trolls the interviewer for 5-10 minutes, this was awesome. I'm not sure you can find anything out there where Maynard goes deeper into his process, thinking, and even feelings, than you accomplished here.

I typically don't listen to interviews of bands, read articles on them or otherwise follow them. I'm more interested in their artwork and in some ways I think that is what Maynard and the boys were about in the early days of Tool. I didn't care that they said that they were into Lachrymology back in the day. Because I don't follow interviews I assume that was a joke back in the day but I think that my initial reaction was what they were after. Think for yourself. Interviews are all too often about the interviewer rather than the interviewee and THAT is what, I presume, Maynard was against (along with the idea that most singers shouldn't overly influence any fan).

Maynard also had a thing for jujitsu because he brought it up for no reason.

This was the absolute best interview I have ever seen he was so open and the questions were perfect thank you so much for this one!!!!

What a great interview, thank you Rick.

I've never heard the classic question of" what is your writing process" answered like this. Only Maynard can answer it with such depth and clarity.

I loved when Maynard was on Sammy Hagar's show and in the vineyard Sammy asks of he can just snap off a bunch of grapes (instead of taking one grape) and Maynard calmly and sternly says "I will punch you in the face".

Definitely one of the best interviews of any musical artist I've ever seen. Well done, Rick.

Rick always gets the best out of his guests. World class meets world class. Thank you Rick.

Definitely the deepest interview with MJK I've ever heard. And he's never this open. Great job to both of you. Good meshing of music discussion.

Obviously you like Lateralus: I think it’s the best album Maynard’s ever done, and I particularly mean his lyrics and performance on that album. It’s also my favorite Tool album, musically, but I really do consider the messaging coming from Maynard on that album to be the first “sacred text” to ever deeply impact me late in my teenage years. There aren’t many albums I can point to, and say that they had deep philosophical impact on me, like life altering, but Lateralus is one of them. I know Tool fans can be obnoxious with over praising Tool, but with that album, it certainly hits me deeply in every way, from the music, to Maynard’s beautiful expression his powerful words. To this day, over the 20+ years I’ve aged with those lyrics, I continue to reappraise, and have deeper understanding of the concepts explored in the lyrics, particularly as I more deeply explore my mind/soul/body in meditation/spiritual practice.. I’ll leave it at that, lest I become the obnoxious Tool fan… Spiral Out, indeed! 🌀♾

@@nikolademitri731 I’m going to dig deeper into it bc of what you’re saying here. It will be fun because it is something I know absolutely nothing about…like how he mused that he didn’t discover Led Zeppelin until much later… that can be said for me and Tool, which is right here & now! Radio songs are all I know…but my journey started that way into many musical directions, including the Grateful Dead, Metallica, Dream Theater, so many more. I started perhaps very basic (but definitely not bad!) - Black Sabbath, the Beatles and the Beach Boys I would say were my top three that really got me into it and I spun most of their records for the first several years (I’m 58)…so much to listen to, so little time…

Love the constant reference of puzzle solving and innovation. Good way of explaining the drive and reason to pursue our goals.

Best interview conducted with Maynard period. I feel honestly I learned more about him and the process than ever before. Thank you Rick.....homerun.

How hard must be to pull such a fruitful interview with Maynard so "casually", especially knowing you admire him. These are gold, Rick, you're making a huge legacy for music.

I love your interviews. You focus on the music, you ask a lot of questions us music fans actually want to know.

Like so many others in this comment thread, MJK is like an idol to me. I have literally watched every interview he’s ever done and nothing comes close to this in terms of how much he was relaxed and really opened up and seemed to enjoy the conversation. Amazing job, Rick. Congratulations on nailing a solid interview with a modern music legend.
