The guy is the total package, few humans have grown to such a level as this being. His spirit is unbreakable, such as a Hunter S. Thompson, and or Rudolph Stiener, except he is a mash of both. He's got the humor, he's got the reason, he's even got the tolerance it takes to lead a broken world back to its roots. He was of course Plato in his last life and a talking bird in the previous one, but we know him best as the great miner of our inner Divinity, which is why i would love to hear more of these semi-exclusive comments of his that people may have heard at concerts or if they were fortunate enough,(as I perhaps indirectly have been) to have an actual dialoge with him, please post some more unoffensive awesome insights if you can. Thank you.

Thank you. I just don't know what to say. Wow. Are you talking about Maynard or some god? Okay, I'm sorry. I mean, I completely respect and admire the man's art..... can't tell you what kind of person he is other than what he let's us see. I think sometimes we go a little to far putting him up on that high pedestal. I respect your opinion, but I just can't put the man that high up. He's human, just like the rest of us. Only with a hell of a lot more talent. (And well, a lot sexier than most too. ) As far as the "semi-exclusive" comments of his.....well, I can get back to you on that. Mostly the comments I have heard in concert were jokes and using that wonderful sense of humor he has. As far as anyone having an actual dialogue with Maynard, well....that would be considered personal. I doubt he would appreciate anyone posting private conversations on the net. So please don't. We'll have to compile a list of "things Maynard said in concert". Everyone can contribute what they've heard her, in this thread. I'll contribute mine later....I have to get to bed. By the way....welcome to the board FightingEuthydemus. I hope to see more of you around.

P.S. I love your username. Do you have the same skills as Euthydemus, the skill that is the war of words? Or is it just an admiration of yours? Either one is a very good thing! Have good night! I do hope to see you around again soon.

Honestly I can't even spell Euthydemus without looking it up, but I was actually refering by this name to counter people like him, like all our nurses and doctors and teachers and police and seargents who think they know stuff, but there merely protecting the right for their supperiors to keep shitting on them forever and ever. My favorite maynard qoute has been and probably will always be, "The shit adds up at the bottom." And I do not understand how that person in another topic forum condisered Billy as trying to rip off Maynard on the new Apc DISK, he's either jealous of Billiy's voice or jealous of the fact that (maynard let) billy sing and not him. I though billy wasn't at all trying to mimic or duplicate the kind of sound maynard uses, i think he was a brilliant contrast, like day and night!

Hey FE, what really got me was the first time I saw the Judith video, and I saw Billy singing 'Fuck your god, He did this, Left you this way, Never taste of the fruit' I seriously thought Maynard sang those voice overs, and when I saw Billy had sung them I did get the feeling that seeing as he spent so much time with Maynard with Tool and was his room mate he must've had some influence on how to sing a lot like Maynard does. Much like all of the bands that have been listening to Tool before starting their bands take on certain aspects of Tool and I think it's great.... IMHO.

Great point lilac Billy does sound a lot like Maynard on Judith but they could be both singing at once though did u think of that.If anyone has the judith single there is an acustic version of Osteres that I think Billy is the primary singer but I'm not sure, the voice is untangible, whether it was Billy,Maynard or Both

The Orestes (acoustic) demo is Billy singing.
I don't understand how anyone can think that sounds like Maynard. Not even close in my opinion.
They only song I have heard Billy sing which may be a little bit close to sounding like Maynard (and I mean a very little bit) is "What's so Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding".
And even then, if it's kinda close, it's still so far away. No one can imitate MJK's voice. And I don't think Billy tries to.

Maynard>Billy.....Billy sounds NOTHING like Maynard. VOG has spoken, no further discussion.......lol just kidding (about the further discussion part). Billy is nowhere close to MJK's vocal ability. Of course my opinion is slighty biast(sp?) because I don't really like Billy all that much.

because I don't really like Billy all that much. Would you stop saying that. You don't even know the man, how can you not "like" him. I'm putting a new rule up......no Billy bashing. And now.....Halo has spoken. ;D

I'm not saying I don't like him as a person cause you're right, I don't know him like that. I am referring to the public musically person. DUH, Halo. Geez! I'm not bashing him, I just don't like his MUSICAL aspect. Is that better? LOL I love going back and forth with you!

How the hell can you like APC and not appreciate and admire Billy's "musical aspect"? That makes no sense. He wrote the music!! And don't get me started on his guitar abilities.

It's easy I like APC for Maynard and Paz. I'm not saying Billy isn't a talented muscian. He is. Obviously he is, because he's signed in a band and making millions. I just don't personally like him. I don't know why. Maybe I just was born with an Anti-Billy gene or something, but I like the music, just not Billy. That is rather weird isn't it? I'm not going to be like the TA fans and say I wish Billy wasn't in the band like they won't MJK out, because obviously he has pulled it in the direction that it's in. I don't want him gone, I just don't like him. HMmmmmm for once I can't explain. Oh well....... I won't be a completely negative nancy so I'll just leave it at this: I don't like Billy, but that is in way bashing him. I respect him for the artist he is, I just don't like him. I can't be any nicer than that so I'll just drop it and close my big mouth...............

You can't explain because it makes no sense!!!
But I'll leave you alone about it now.

I think so! I've read your stuff in the Creativity thread. :-) But apparently you just lose all brain cells when it comes to Billy.
