Maynard chokes fan on stage (vid)

I found this video clip of a Tool concert. They were peforming "Pushit" and some dude walks onto the stage and Maynard RNCs him while continuing to sing.

Here is the yousendit

If a bluenamer could get it and put it in the thread, that'd be hawt and keep people from having to continually upload it.

It looks set up.

If it wasn't, then it was just weird.

Sorry if the clip is redundant, first time I've seen it though! lol

B47, not sure if it was, in fact, set up...but it is a very surreal episode to say the least

totally set up, if a fan really jumped the stage to attack him his band wouldnt just keep playing the song like nothing was going on

It wasn't set up...I remember Maynard telling me about the episode. Guy who ran up on stage didn't know what was going on.

four years old

^ I bet it is older than that, Pushit was on Aenima, which I believe came out in 1994. So that was prolly between then and the start of APC in 2000.

Now wait just a damn minute...I edited out that double post!

It is not in UG etiquette to do what you're doing unless I double post and it is still there....by god

don't think it's set up. If you look, the guy obviously isn't attacking Maynard, he's going up to hug him. Maynard puts his arms out, pretending to go for the hug and goes for the hip toss instead.

I think he was trying to send the message to bugger off when we're on stage.

+++ for later

To Bad Tool wasnt opening for Damageplan.

where the hell was security to drag that drugged up freak away? Bizarre how Maynard kept sitting on him and then did a tapping motion on his body.

That throw was sweet

That was a nice hip toss...have not seen this before....Maynard needs to work that RNC deeper though, that guy was awake WAY too long....LOL....  wonder if I can offer him lessons???

I heard its hard to sing on stage while RNCing some fool

LOL

It is an awesome clip but it is also a set up.  Maynard had a friend jump on stage so he could pull of the "stunt".  It was proven a set up when a couple of guys were following the band from venue to venue and it happened three nights in a row.
