Back when I was in high school, my stepbrothers and I had an inside joke. After hearing the song "Schism" by Tool , we would repeatedly ask one another, "You know what I know?" The other would respond, "That the pieces fit." It wasn't exactly a clever joke, but it went on and on and on. And that song was pretty cool too. I definitely didn't ask Tool singer Maynard James Keenan that same question when I interviewed him about his band Puscifer for the Georgia Straight . The [...]

Puscifer @ Baton Rouge River Center Theater - 2/25/12 || Photo © Paul KieuPuscifer recently made a tour stop at the Baton Rouge River Center Theater on February 25th as part of the band's tour in support of their 2011 LP Conditions of my Parole. Puscifer is led by Maynard James Keenan, better known as [...]

Tweet I have a confession to make. I am a huge fan of Tool , A Perfect Circle and all things Maynard James Keenan . HUGE. That being said, I can already see your cursor poised over the Back button, ready to click, but WAIT, hear me out. Puscifer ( puss-if-her ) is a horse of a different color and shouldn't be grouped together with Maynard's other creative accomplishments. Puscifer's music isn't intimidating, like Tool can be, nor [...]

Tool Title TBC Volcano Entertainment ETA May 2012 What they're saying: It's been six long years since Tool released the Grammy Award-winning 10,000 Days , which means proggers, grungers and metallers all around the world are currently dribbling over the prospect of a new record approaching from the famously-reclusive quartet. Which is why there was plenty of surprise back in May 2011 when a bizarre message appeared on Tool's website , that happened to contain at [...]

My father once told me that "celebrities eat and drink and piss and shit just like us," which was his poetic way of saying that famous folks are just people, too. And that can be a hard fact to remember, even if you're not the type to get starstruck. Sure, your favorite Rock God might [...]

Woodstock, NY isn't just the hometown of hippies, MetalGF, and 3; Sarah Fimm, who recently released her seventh album Near Infinite Possibility, hails from the Hudson Valley's musical locus as well. I'd never heard of Fimm before I received an email touting her new video "Everything Becomes Whole" earlier this week, but I decided to give [...]

Maynard on Puscifer: "Where my ID, ego, and anima all come together to exchange cookie recipes." But trust us, there's nothing small-town or quaint about their live shows.

A Roma per "parrucca" si intende qualcuno che fa finta, che imita bene. Ad oggi per dire i Killers sarebbero dei parrucconi. Insomma le parrucche con questo post c'entrano sì e no un menga però era la maniera più veloce per parlare di James Maynard Keenan. Quello dei Tool. Coso dei Tool. Quello che canta e sta girato insomma. Ah in ricordo di Third Eye in questo post potrebbero spuntare a casaccio immagini minchione di Keenan, così, in ricordo dei bei tempi. Per molti il più grande pensatore degli ultimi vent'anni, per altri un sonorissimo paraculo con la [...]

There are the essential albums that need to be in everyone's collection. There are the personal favorites, the ones that aren't highly acclaimed but still get played every once in a while. And then there are the albums that you stick in the back of your collection because you want to forget that you spent money on them. "Own It or Disown It" gives the writer the opportunity to look at such discarded albums and determine if they are diamonds in the rough or if they deserve to be used as mini-frisbees. [...]

Puscifer Conditions of my Parole Puscifer Entertainment 18 October 2011 by Ruth Booth Pick up a glass of wine and the latest New Scientist - there's an idea that the act of thinking isn't just the brain working independently. Your body is more than just ropes and levers, or sensory extensions to your mind – [...]

These albums might even have some good music on 'em, too! ANYWAY: As I've said before, I'm not really a fan of Maynard James Keenan's Puscifer project, but my man crush on Keenan is such that I actually feel severe guilt over said lack of fandom. And Pusicfer's latest, Conditions of My Parole, might have [...]

Well hello again! I hope you've been enjoying everything I've been posting here today on Metalsucks.net. This next interview is really something I was beyond thrilled to be able to do! A Perfect Circle is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite bands and are also a huge inspiration on myself as well as [...]

The thing about Ministry is, sure, they were innovative, and sure, their live show has a lot of cool lights and effects and shit, but I think their music gets real boring real fast. It falls under the category of "too much of the same too quickly." To give a recent example: Remember that single [...]

Maynard James Keenan's Puscifer project has debuted its video for "Man Overboard" over at Rolling Drone, and I'm feeling pretty conflicted about it. 'Cause on the one hand, it's not every day we see a CG animated steam punk video, and I applaud Maynard for continuing to at least make an attempt to venture into [...]

Maynard James Keenan has released two new video teasers for Conditions of My Parole, the new album from his Puscifer project. And I have almost no idea what the what is going on in these clips - called The Book Of Douche Bag, Volumes 1 & 2 - I do know that I found them entertaining. In [...]

I may not be a huge Puscifer fan, but nothing is going to top this this year. Not even Opeth's heads in a tree. Conditions of My Parole is out October 18. -AR [via The PRP, who think it may be the best album art of the decade]

What a great time Lollapalooza was. Chicago is a really fun city that is definitely worth checking out if you get out there. Below are some highlights and let downs from the weekend. enjoY! ------------ Friday Highlights : Foster The People . They were really fricking good, I didn't know what to expect from their live show considering how crazy popular they are, but they did not let down at all, from beginning to end...dance party. [...]
