That being said, if you want some trance/industrial stuff to just throw on in the background, Puscifer is pretty damn good. Check out Indigo Children and you'll see what I mean.

I completely agree with you.

"First of all, thank you all for choosing to participate in this chaotic project. I realize most of you are here because of my prior efforts. This project rests in stark contrast to those in many many ways. Specifically speaking, with Tool and APC it's about complete presentation. We explore every avenue possible. We take each piece as far as we possibly can before preserving and presenting them. It is as much about opening up possibilities as it is carefully guiding the experience. Not so, with Puscifer. Here we are a work in progress. We're attempting to grin and tap our foot in the midst of an ocean of chaotic processes and perceptions. It's an anything goes, light hearted party." - Maynard, from his blog MySpace.com Blogs - Puscifer MySpace Blog.

I've had a listen to them and they are indeed a totally different tangent from Tool and APC. I'm enjoying some songs. Indigo Children is great.

Anyway!

Yep. Just something to pass the time until we get the new Tool album...hopefully sometime next year (fingers crossed but not too hopeful lol).

"Not too hopeful" is about right. Anybody who thinks that Tool will have a new album out at any point prior to 2011 is probably deluding himself.

So true. And live shows. I've given up waiting for them to come back to Australia.

But they are always worth the wait, IMO.

Has anyone come across this girl on YouTube? She does these amazing Tool covers on piano. Adam Jones and Maynard came across her vids and loved them so much Adam Jones has the video on his MySpace page and Maynard put one of her covers up on his Puscifer blog. (Slightly off-topic but couldn't think of where else to post it)

Tool is my ****.
Danny Carey is just my favorite drummer of all time.
I love the way their music feels. To me it feels like an actual experience, instead of most other music which just feels like energy. It takes the power that anyone else can make using instruments and multiplies it tenfold. It just feels like magic to me.

Tool > Puscifer > APC

All are good, though. And Tool's music videos are incredible.

Astronomer · 11-22-2008, 05:23 PM

Puscifer aren't better than A Perfect Circle.
They're pretty much just some random experimental stuff Maynard wanted to mess around with (and he event admits to this.) APC, even though they are a side project, are pretty amazing.

Tool > APC > Puscifer.

Some APC sounds pretty plain. No Puscifer has made me bored.

Don't get me wrong, friend, I love them all. We mustn't forget that APC perfected Imagine.
