After all the excitement surrounding the Central and South American dates last month, the next big thing for Maynard James Keenan fans is the Sessanta v2.0 tour which kicks off later this month. For those out of the loop, this tour features one big set of songs mixed together from Puscifer, Primus and A Perfect Circle. This means all three bands are on the stage at once, so expect a… Read More »Sessanta v2.0 kicks off soon!
Check out this cool new interview with Maynard James Keenan, who is once again having a conversation with music Youtubist Rick Beato. He chats about a range of topics, including Tool though the focus is largely on working with Puscifer. Good news that is Puscifer should have a new record in 2025. Maynard last spoke with Rick in 2022 – both interviews are excellent and well worth checking out!
There’s a cool new interview with Tool/Puscifer/A Perfect Circle singer Maynard James Keenan with Primus bassist Les Claypool out today, and I’d like to bring to your attention. Interviewer Kyle Meredith does an excellent job of keeping up with both of them, and while we don’t get a heap of insight as to what’s coming up for both artists (aside from the next round of Sessanta shows) it is an… Read More »Maynard & Les chat with Kyle Meredith
Puscifer, Primus and A Perfect Circle must have enjoyed the tour together earlier this year – so much that they are going to do it all over again in 2025. Filling in a few gaps around North America they missed, there’s a bunch of dates, and hopefully something near you. Reviews from the Sessanta 1.0 tour this year were pretty good, and I’m a fan of all three bands. Sadly… Read More »Puscifer announce Sessanta V2.0 tour
In a recent Tool interview with Metal Hammer, Adam Jones and Maynard James Keenan catch up with Steve Appleford for a discussion about the recent US tour, Tool stuff and life in general. It’s a good read, though in some ways doesn’t have a heap of things we haven’t read before. I suppose the more interesting snippets for long time Tool fans relate to what’s coming up next. Maynard indicates… Read More »Adam & Maynard chat to Metal Hammer
There was a new Tweet overnight from Tool’s account, which suggests that new material is definitely on the cards for this coming tour: Most importantly, Maynard will have a new costume! What could it be?
Maynard has this morning posted a more detailed update for us in Twitter, outlining some of the reasons why, and a ballpark release window for the new Tool album launch: The most interesting point this raises for me is that what will happen on the coming US and European shows? Will we see new material? Will they just be greatest hits shows in the same mold as the last few… Read More »New Tool album now scheduled for May-July
Maynard said a few things on Twitter these last couple of days, that suggest the new Tool album won’t be released in April. Given that Tool drummer Danny Careymentioned at a Baked Potato show recently they were aimed for a release in April or May, this doesn’t really change much in my opinion. My thoughts regarding an April release date was that it was never going to be mid-April, and… Read More »Maynard Release Date “Hints” on Twitter
