boss Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Haha ace! The guy looks like he's quite getting off on the choke hold position. Let's face it, who wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 in all honesty he comes across as a dickhead. why did he wrestle that guy? he wanted to hug him, for christ's sake. why didn't he just wait for security to chuck him out? you could tell he wanted to show off his latest karate skills - good one you fucking tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJK is a legend and a kinda mythical figure to tool fans, partly because of his amazing vocals and partly because of the mystery element surrounding him. Tool fans in general can be quite obsessive (for want of a better word) about him and the band, so if one guy goes on stage and hugs him, you could bet that within 5 mins there would be someone else trying the same thing.Guy got what he deserved I say, he had no right to be there. If he wanted to hug him he could have waited til after the show and asked him, not just climbed onto the stage mid-song. Especially during 'Pushit' which is a brilliant song. Its not as if he punched him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nikola Tesla Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Jesus that live performance looks pretty boring, maybe the guy actualy wanted to kill the singer just for boring them to death.... but then again it could just be an example of the singer being a twat.

Maynard a twat i dont think so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 if the guy took out a knife, i'd expect him to use his amazing kung fu skills. not try out his the latest move he's seen on the WWF (i think he wanted to do the 'rock bottom' but hadn't perfected it on his mates yet).

threeornothing Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 What a way to treat your fans...does he forget who stumps up their hard earned cash to put his ass on that fucking stage in the first place? Fucking tool....If a security guard was to choke a fan like that, they would probably find their ass out of a job these days, the "musician" does it, and is idolised.I wonder why the lights went down?

blairsea Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 What is it with you guys? Just cause a guy buys your cd's and tickets to your gig doesn't mean he has the right to climb on stage mid-song. Get a grip.Where do you draw the line? Do u let a fan shag your wife because, hey "he spent his hard-earned cash on your cd's, t-shirts and tickets."He could have fucked up someone else in the crowd's favourite song. That person has also bought the cd's, t-shirts, tickets etc.Its different if he asked people onto the stage, like FlavaFlav (spelling?) from Public Enemy at the Music Hall. But he didn't.Ah maybe exaggerating a bit with the wife bit but you get my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Its not the act of keeping fans off the stage that I question, but rather why the artist feels they somehow are in power to attack the said individual without due care for their well being....its not like an intruder busting into his home, or someone stalking him in the streets, in which case it may be considered self defence, and to be honest, the guy just looked like he wanted to prance around. Watch how a band like Fugazi deal with hecklers, quickly, swiftly, show goes on, idiot is forgotten about. No phoney handshakes that lead to judo...No, spending 100s and 100s of dollars on CD's/shirts/merch/tickets does not entitle you to get up on stage if the band don't feel comfortable with that happening, and thats why these bands will spend more on security than most people will earn in a lifetime, but surely one could appreciate a fans excitement and respect that its thanks to those fans that they are in the position that they are in.Maybe instead of instore signings, they'll start doing instore smacks in the face? Might knock some musical sense into them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marrkh Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Oh for Christ's sake everyone, he was having a laugh (as I think someone already mentioned).You could see he scared the living shit out of the guy, and then you see him sitting on top of him patting him to settle him down.Oh Maynard <333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 That made me feel uncomfortable watching that. They were both wrong - You shouldn't ever invade a performer's stage (unless asked a la Iggy or Flava Flav) but Keenan's actions were pretty cruel I thought. Good point about Dimebag - Maybe performers do need more protection. Perhaps the security should have been tighter at the Tool gig to make sure no - one could make it up on to the stage? But the guy didn't deserve a chokehold.Maynaard has lost "scene points" from me............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skinny, jabby hips.The guy fairly ends up looking like a prick. I would've thought that security would have come and escorted the guy offstage though instead of Maynard finishing the song sitting on the dude. Strange indeed.I wonder what the church would make of all this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
