I found a wierd blog post this morning which talks about Maynard‘s sudden appearing in what appears to be a video recording studio: For real… James Maynard keenan just walked onto the set of our music video shoot… I guess he’s filming a shoot for an advertisement, Walking with a gun and a cowboy hat. We asked to get a picture with him, but this is as close as i… Read More »Maynard being filmed?
There’s an interesting interview with Billy Howerdel on MTV.com where he talks about Ashes Divide, and also elaborates further on his relationship with Maynard and A Perfect Circle’s future: “I don’t know what the future’s going to hold, but all I can see is Ashes Divide now,” he said. “I wouldn’t say APC is dead, but until further notice, we’re not doing a whole lot. We might do a surprise… Read More »Billy Howerdel talks Ashes Divide
Blabbermouth posted an article today pointing to a video interview where Billy Howerdel discusses the upcoming Ashes Divide release. Turns out Maynard‘s son Devo plays cello on it.
According to the Puscifer website, the Queen B DVD is now on sale for US$6.99. It includes: some bonus stuff. Waffling irrelevant commentary. A cameo from THEE Josh Freeze and Buddyhead Travis. And not much more. However, WAY better resolution and detail than on that crap uTube site. Trust us. Get it while it’s hot.
According to a recent post on Maynard‘s Myspace site, the Queen B DVD will be available on Tuesday, and is a limited edition so don’t delay in ordering it (presumably from the Puscifer website?). No word as to what’s on the DVD apart from the Queen B video, but it’s safe to say there’s probably no live Tool tracks. Meats Meier is continuing work on the Dozo video, and according… Read More »Puscifer Update
Henry emailed me today with a quote from a recent issue of Revolver, where Maynard gives his thoughts on working with Billy Howerdel, as well as some kind of idea when a reunion may be possible: The real problem with running Tool and A Perfect Circle at the same time was they both operate the same way. They’re both live touring bands with a label, still working under the old… Read More »A Perfect Circle not over?
According to Beckett from Toolarmy, Maynard will be appearing on the Sirius radio station Left of Center next week: MJK will be getting on the mic on his favorite radio station, Left of Center. Maynard will discuss everything from his wine vineyard to his thoughts on creativity and downloading to his new Puscifer album. He’ll also play and discuss every song from the new Puscifer record, V Is For Vagina,… Read More »Maynard on Left of Center
In a reasonably short article on UltimateGuitar.com, Troy Van Leeuwen talks about his time in A Perfect Circle, and the likelihood of them doing stuff again: I would say of course they’re different, but I have more experience working with Josh actually than with working with Maynard. With Maynard it was very short amounts of time working with him. I didn’t really per-se get in deep with him. He’d show… Read More »Troy Van Leeuwen talks about A Perfect Circle
There’s a new Maynard interview up on the MonitorThis website. There’s not really much there we haven’t heard before, so this one’s for completists only. Questions were apparently submitted by readers, which turned out to be the usual questions we’d expect to hear in interviews. Here’s a snippet for you: QWERTYUIOP: Is Blair actually Phillip Seymour Hoffman? MJK: Negative. He is an experimental textile factory by-product known as Arachno-Hypnol. One… Read More »New Maynard Interview
According to Maynard‘s Myspace Blog: Get this. Are you sitting down? Not sure how this happened, but I’m not complaining. Cuntry Boner just showed up at number 1 on the Billboard Dance Singles Chart and number 10 on the Billboard Singles Chart. Not kidding. Almost as funny as Jethro Tull winning a Grammy for Best METAL Performance. Hopefully it won’t go down. El Oh El.
