What did i just stumble into?

Hands down the best interview, not only of Maynard but simply In general. Questions were intelligent and respectful. You made them genuinely laugh, asked great questions some out of the box… you could immediately tell how much they respected you and liked being there. Well done

Regarding the format of Sessanta -- Everyone I spoke with agreed with my assessment: a lot more concerts need to have that sort style. 3-4 songs by one band, 3-4 by the second, 3-4 by the third, and cycle it. It was awesome

I love how they were all engaged in the clown prayer. It was kind of moving.

Maynard is Clownvis. Girl, you know it's true.

"you've proven that puscifer is not a joke band"

"That means a lot coming from you"

Clown horn

Found my new favorite interviewer, I'm dead 😂

Incredible band, I've bought almost everything they've made on vinyl now. Listen to it every chance I get. Life changing art from all of them! Thank you to all 4 of you!

That was effing awesome. Thank you for showing them the love we all share for them! The clown’s prayer was actually beautiful, and fits so well with Puscifer. I agree, I think they do more good for the world than they, or any of us, realize. Great work Clownvis!

I’m proud of Maynard. He seems to be on his best behavior for this interview. He seemed to have really enjoyed it and had fun. It says a lot about you as an interviewer that you can get the man to open up especially laugh.

Savage!!!!! Everyone loves TOOL, PUSCIFER,, AND A PERFECT CIRCLE. this is good for the Juggalos who are into Maynard James Keenan and his band projects.

I went to Sessanta V1 in Franklin Tennessee and the stage design, the idea of doing 3 or 4 songs then literally switching bands within like a minute because everything is already set up. I've never experienced something like it so now im spoiled because if done correctly any and all bands could pull that off. I think its genius and everyone should take notes, because its refreshing to see someone to change up the normal experience.

Puddles from Puddles pity party,man that guy can sing,great vocalist

Imo, the band really didn't start until Mat and Carina joined... before that it was just a Maynard and friends solo project.

Once you get to the live tracks and The Humbling River on the C is for E.P. you can see the band finding their sound.
Then we got Conditions of My Parole and that album is a f-ing masterpiece of an album.

It's always my "name one album you could take with you to listen on a road trip" answer.

Maynard was trying hard to hold it together after that horn.😂

Maynard is such a badass..he made up this idea to put 3 bands on a stage at the same time and then cross over and sing in all the bands while they play..amazing.
