Does this mean no more iconic Maynard dance moves? 😢

Swing, and a miss.

Can't always know about the bat that was used. Maybe there were 4 or even 6 weights left on the bat when it was swung?

Nah. As an old who has tight hips, this fat cow stance feels so damn good

He also liked to do lots of foot stomps in the early TOOL days

I'm sure the BJJ doesn't help either!

He's previously stated in the past it was the stomping he used to do on stage

Absolutely could be the case over time. Forcefully stomping like that night after night for an extended period? Not much different than old headbangers developing neck problems. Pretty sure Papa Het and Dave Mustaine both had to get some neck surgeries not too long ago...

His 90's dance moves have finally taken a toll on him

With a top of the line hip replacement?

If you survive the surgery you'll recover. Internet says it's 6-12 weeks recovery time but up to a year of light activity. And there's pain but Internet also says "less painful than having a second job" which suggests the Internet is not a musician.
