Saw a show in Boston and he literally said "take any vinyl you want" (for free) and I handed him cash and just said thank you and he signed all of them. One of the most hard working/passionate musicians you'll meet.
I will not rest until i see this man live *update* I saw him live a couple of months back, its one of the best shows i have ever seen and the day after i had the priviledge to sit with him and his band at a local Taco Bell. Godspeed to John and his bandmates! (Rest in peace Joe, i will never forget you)
@@captainchippie4454 absolutely! I still carry that moment with me and i think of it a lot. It never fails to make me smile when i think of said moment!
John is great on record, but you just don't get that intense dedication he has without seeing him live. Look at this man, this is a man who puts everything into every lyric he sings.
John maus is the embodiement of the welsh word "Hiraeth" :a yearning or nostalgia for a place that never existed or will never exist again. Discovered him with the song "copkiller" and cant get enough of this mystery of a man. Thank you for existing and creating, John Maus
They should've recorded the whole album in this studio and publish it. Actually all his albums. The sound is just breathtaking. Live instruments better than computer. Awesome performance. Thanks so much. And thanks for coming to Frankfurt Germany btw. It was awesome.
I went early to a J Maus show and by chance ran into him outside the venue by himself. He is just the same in person and a very amazing person and unbelievably kind and friendly. We spoke for 20 minutes. Very cool guy.
heyo can spare my music a listen i know im suppose to be like oh self deprecating promotion humour now but i love music and want share mine: th-cam.com/video/oFmkARKfwDo/w-d-xo.html
Responding because I'm tired of going super down in the comments every time I listen to this performance. Thank you, Brian, you've been more helpful than you think.
Professionnel gamers ? yes ! But not american pros because they're not fat enough... The drummer looks like a model compared to a genuine american video games enthusiast .... LOL !!
As far as I know he performs live but there isn't a band with him so its just like a version of his songs without vocals and he karaoke's it up by his lonesome.
@@fenrir5361 I mean, if you get an old pair of shoes AND give it to someone Who needs it dont record it and keep it to yourself I know it sounds dumb but you contribute a Lot to the world. Please try it and if you already do this you are such an amazing person. I love john maus I'm from Argentina AND the closests I Will be to him Is that may 15, Ariel Pink Will come to Argentina
He truly is a warm guy in person. We happily chatted for an hour after his show in New Orleans in '11. Highly intelligent yet very "down to earth" and quite approachable. Love him. MAD respect ♥
I was able to meet him twice, and got to chat with him for a bit after he played in Austin this year. I freaked out after a minute and panicked, and couldn't hold the convo up longer than that, haha, but he was very kind and generous. I'm so lucky I got to meet my musical hero. Glad you did too! :)
@@stanleyzechariah6408 yeah I just gave my bank account info to a guy who called my phone with an Indian accent, but says we know each other.... says he has money to deposit in my account!
There's something interesting about John Maus plainclothes, average joe look. With a singing style like that, you'd think he would have some funky costume on. I like the minimalism in this kind of synth pop though.
I got goosebumps once I pretended these were a few band kids that urged their cool (but down on luck) substitute teacher (Mr. Maus) to play the talent show with them
lol i actually had this teacher. He does shows at pubs part time and i see him every now and then and he always says "Hey! theres my rockstar!" whenever i see him. He was my teacher 15 years ago.
He literally encapsulates every feeling, memory and meaning in every song, like hes remembering what the lyrics mean at the moment, kinda like conjure something from those lyrics
I’m very happy to see him not ‘jack-knifing at the waist’ here, and I hope he never does that again. The worst thing in the world is to throw out your back. Self-injury is unnecessary to this great music. This is so much better - a direct focus on singing, and in the presence of supporting musicians. This is the best live video of John I’ve seen yet, thank you - and thank you John, for going easier on your body.
the line between genius and madman is said to be thin, John Maus is certainly on that high end of genius, the kind that breaches "madman" love this guy...
Holy shit you scared the hell out of me .... it is very sad but I thought this was John Himself you were saying and then the comment right under said it too.... WHOA!!! ok
joe and john and the drummer and the synth man.......all so perfect and at their prime here. Thanks for this. This audio and video is a perfect reason to explore the world.
TheLucidIntermission apparently, according to johns ex ,the one he was recently married to,she posted on Instagram that it was a drug overdose, but that has not been confirmed at all yet. According to her there’s a drug problem within the band or something. The whole thing is really sad and I can’t imagine what everybody who was close to joe was. He seemed like he had a good heart and was very talented.
I wish John would let these intense, raw vocals come through more on the studio versions of these tracks...”And The Rain” in particular sounds so much better here than the album imo. Both are great but I love Maus live
I wish this was an hour long. I just revisited the we must become album and was like "oh yeah I forgot, this is the best music ever made." Now I've listened to only that album for the last month. It's become almost an obsession. I feel that soon enough I will turn into some type of Howard Hughes character, only instead of locking myself in a room with 3 inch long fingernails and surrounded by Mason jars full of my piss, I'll be listening to that album in my shower with headphones on or while I'm in line at the grocery store. There has got to be a support group for this right?
I saw John maus in Austin Texas last month in February, had no idea his brother died then. RIP Joe maus. I hope John and his family a good and blessed life.

I'm so envious of you! Now that's a memory I'm sure you'll cherish forever. Congratulations on a great achievement!
You can rest now !
I got obsessed about John this year. I can't stop listening to his songs!
i always find myself coming back, he really has an unique sound
me too!! Just found him!
Hes great
the drummer is underappreciated
Yeah. Maus compositions are really giving him a hard time
How? I think you're the only asshole under appreciating anyone
He’s drumming for Ariel Pink as well last time I checked.
Not as much as he used to be. He’s playing with other bands here and there. He’s exceptionally talented.
@@XDanimalzX is there footage of him playing with ap?
I'm ready to see this amazing guy in 2023
so down
Oh yea
Where? When?
we will never get to see him live, sadly.
@@MichaeIKay Why is that ?
John is great on record, but you just don't get that intense dedication he has without seeing him live. Look at this man, this is a man who puts everything into every lyric he sings.
Wish he would come to Brazil
Seriously. I love his live performances. The recordings are great of course, but it’s not as touching once you see him perform.

I was going to see them play and was so excited to hear Joe, he is shinning in this video.
whattt, he is not dead lol
Every guy in the band looks like a professional gamer. I like it.
I am a phantom over the battlefield
Maus looks like a professor though.

The way they're empowered by our god John
I know right, that part is so cathartic

Im a big fan of John Maus. Give the drummer some.....hes so on point
Yes Yes Rudeboy the drummer falls in love with me
that drummer tho - precision as its best - to make people thing that its actually computer generated beat is beautiful
Damn this guy is so awesome.
ossum?
BEST EVER
And he is dead now..
Coops joe is, not John
Eyes so intense, they're like a portal to another dimension, with a warm child's smile....how is he real, I love him.

Gotta give props to the guy on keyboard on pets. He's just dancing doing his own thing feeling the music

what does "this kind of synth pop" mean, who else sounds like this? genuine question not rhetorical
JUST LIKE DAVID BYRNE!

John u are so amazing I need your music everyday in my life
Those unique moments you feel the power of a live performance 5:36 ! Rest easy Joe you´ll never be forgotten!
Woah I was just hoping for precisely this video and it literally just pops up on my feed man what
I saw him in Boston back in February, even though there was no band he still put on a stellar show
John Maus has really stepped it up over the last year with the new band!
He literally encapsulates every feeling, memory and meaning in every song, like hes remembering what the lyrics mean at the moment, kinda like conjure something from those lyrics
john wears that shirt every day/live show, that is the john maus staple shirt
John's vocals on this version of streetlight give me chills. Fucking crazy.
Drummer and Piano/Synth guy were absolutely fire in the live band section!!!! Hopefully they reform soon. Seeing John at BKLYN Steel
R.I.P. Joe Maus.
Safe travels, Joe.
Gone way too soon. Not forgotten.
The damn feels, wow, what a performance! Each song describes a feeling that feels nostalgic and yet emphatically/viscerally enveloping.
Still so good.
Especially with headphones, you can really hear every drum beat-so good.
i watch this about once a month. hope to see john perform again
I’m very happy to see him not ‘jack-knifing at the waist’ here, and I hope he never does that again. The worst thing in the world is to throw out your back. Self-injury is unnecessary to this great music. This is so much better - a direct focus on singing, and in the presence of supporting musicians.

The spotify algorithm led me to him and i instantly got hooked. Love his virtuosity!
I love this man so much. It's amazing to hear him be so self deprecating about his music
Rest easy Joe. Love.
