A josh, Paz, Troy APC reunion tour would be siiiiiiick and would put that other bald dudes’s reunion tour to shame. I will also accept a James and Jeordie APC tour. Mitchell is a beast behind the boards and a genius, but his stage presence is..........lacking?

[hellboy]

Let's be honest - Iha is not exactly a super compelling stage performer. All Mat is required to do is stand on a platform and play the guitar. Billy & Maynard are providing the "spectacle"

[UndKeineZwEier]

He does have all those great jokes though...

^I liked the video. Song has really grown on me, as have the other two. Stoked for the album.

[hellboy]

I think it's probably my favorite of the three so far. They've also grown on me quite a bit, and looking forward to 4/20.

The video's not bad either, though probably isn't going to win any awards or anything.

Greg Edwards it is. Seems like a logical choice.

Then, in typical A Perfect Circle fashion, Smashing Pumpkins announced their reunion, which prevented Iha—who remains a member of APC—from touring with the band until June. In the interim, longtime friend of the band Greg Edwards (ex-Failure, Autolux) will perform on the dates, which begin April 14 in Tucson, Arizona.

Underwhelmed. I think Adam Jones would have been a better choice. With the added bonus of delaying Tool #5 even further. Not to mention making Moggie’s head explode magnificently.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry:

Billy Howerdel, guitarist and founding member of A Perfect Circle, had intended the title track of the upcoming album Eat The Elephant to be a Linkin Park song

ugh gross, not inspiring

Breakdown of Judith by the same guy that did the Schism breakdown i posted in the Tool Covers thread.

I’m going to see them in April in SJ. Anybody else hitting that show?

I’m going in with low expectations. I know it will be decent, but not expecting to be blown away.

I agree with Hellboy, the last track is the best of the 3 so far. The other 2 are decent, likely to be better live as usual.

I will do my best to block out the Linkin Park embarrassment.

[UndKeineZwEier]

Man, fuck this band. I'm going to go listen to that new live Rage album. Tom Morello would never do anything with Linkin Park.

let us not forget that MJK made a song with 30 seconds to mars

Did he? If so I've completely forgotten it

[UndKeineZwEier]

He did background vocals on one of their songs from their debut, but I think that may have been because Danny Lohner did the "programming" on that track.

APC & 30 Seconds to Mars are similar tbh and I say that as a fan of both

[UndKeineZwEier]

I agree, and I am not a 30 Seconds to Mars fan. They are both definitely early 00s alt rock bands.

[lukas]

he sang the chorus:


i wonder if he regrets it. just look what they've become:

APC have been on some pretty shitty festival lineups - they can't really take the high ground there.

30 Seconds to Mars only real crime is being dreadfully mediocre, and probably wouldn't be of any real note except for Leto.

[rinkwhopper]

he sang the chorus:

how certain are we of this? it doesn't really sound like Maynard to me.

[UndKeineZwEier]

He's not singing the lead in the chorus, he's singing the echoed background parts on the line "Weak fallen man" and then all the lines in the final chorus.

Yeah I agree, and I am a fan of both as well. APC are much better, but 30 seconds is still good. The drummer is solid, and there are some real gems in there. Although I totally understand why people would be turned off by them. You kind of have to embrace the pop aspect of their music, but there is good pop out there.

[hellboy]

I don't mind pop music in it's own right. Often when it's blended with other genres though, the result is that the non-pop genre just watered down and bland.
