""Yeah, I don't know about that... reverence for fist-f**king?," amusingly referencing "Stinkfist" from Tool's 1996 album Ænima, eliciting raucous laughter from Steve-O and his co-host Skinny Vinny."
""There's some old Tool songs that I don't like playing them because I feel like I failed them. They're popular songs, but I was trying to make a joke, and it was a dumb joke, and I should've just moved on... I feel like the lyrics don't hold up under scrutiny.""
""The way I wrote it... I was trying to fucking make a butt sex joke and it was dumb. The song's beautiful, what those guys did musically is great and I think maybe the melody's a good melody but the words are just dumb. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking.""
Fans often wonder why Tool omits certain early songs from setlists. Maynard James Keenan explained that he sometimes feels he failed older songs because the lyrics were intended as jokes that now feel regrettable. He cited "4°" from Undertow as an example, calling the words dumb while praising the music and melody. Keenan joked about "Stinkfist" during a podcast exchange and said the lyrics do not hold up under scrutiny. Keenan's current focus is on Puscifer, whose album Normal Isn't arrives February 6, and the band will embark on a headlining North American tour.
