An new interview on Antiquiet is now available. It’s a long one and probably the best one with Billy Howerdel so far. He talks about a range of topics related to A Perfect Circle and their upcoming tour:
What are the chances that we’ll hear a new song?
If you asked me last week, I would have said 70%… If you ask me this week, I’m going to say 60%.

Will people even remember on a large scale, who we were? But the appetite seems… awesome.

We’d like to see if maybe a show or two or more could be something that’s interesting enough to release. So we’ll see. We might have it where it’s an exclusive thing you can walk out with from the show that… Read more »
Nice, maybe they’ll play that awesome Cure + Ozzy mashup cover again.
Great interview btw. Some interesting opinions from Billy and also some new insights into the creation of eMOTIVe that I didnt know about.
