Hi, I’m Meathead. I’d like to take a moment from doing whatever the hell it is I normally do and share some vitally important information with you. You Buddyhead readers are the closest things I have to “friends”, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to you, so please pay very close attention. This is serious. Yeah, maybe I’m being a little paranoid, but just humor me, okay? I’ll buy you a Slurpee*.
Big Daddy MJK emailed me this photo of himself a week ago, for reasons still unknown. Holy cow, look at that name I just dropped. You probably know who Maynard is, he’s kinda of a big deal in the music world. He’s the dude who sings for the ass kickin’ band “Tool”, who without any TV or radio play… sell MILLIONS OF ALBUMS and fill arenas where they melt people’s faces off . Yep, The Nard has seen a million faces and they’ve rocked em all.
Dude also sings for “A Perfect Circle”, the band who I forever owe because they introduced me to arena rock (and in the process - the lobster tank - RIP). Now “Puscifer” is his new endeavour into the “solo-artist” world where he’s been collaborating with everyone from Danny Lohner (the two beer drunk) to the mint Milla Jovovich (not sure what she did but it doesn’t matter cuz she’s one of the hottest girls on the planet) to Tim Alexander from Primus… What the fuck am I doing right now… I’m basically writing an ass kissing bio and I haven’t even heard this shit nor is Maynard paying me for this. Dude seriously needs to hire me to make him cooler… I’m not sure what he’s waiting for to be honest.
Anyways back to Tool… I just gotta say that if you happen to like Heavy music but for some reason or another you aren’t into Tool… Take a closer look man. Check out their record “Ænima”, it’s the “OK Computer” of metal… I know that sounds lame, but give it a shot. If you ever go see Tool live, get ready to watch their hair-whipping bass player Justin Chancellor and their basketball jersey wearing mini bar destroyer of a drummer Danny Carey SLAY!As for Puscifer, I haven’t heard the album yet (even though Josh Freese and I will did a video commentary thing which I think should be coming out on a DVD or the single “Queen B” someday) cuz Maynard has yet to mail me a copy of the record. But no matter what the Puscifer album actually sounds like, the laws of physics will prevent it from being anywhere near as rad as Tool. It’s like those lion robots in the Voltron cartoon back in the day… yeah they’re cool lion robots, but when all of em join forces they’re this massive rad giant ass kicking mega robot that’s UNSTOPPABLE!
But just based on the fact that the Puscifer album is titled “V is for Vagina”, I recommend that you buy it from Itunes by clicking here. fuck, burn me a copy dude.
Anyways, I have no idea what this photo of Maynard is all about, but I figured it’d look really good on the front of Buddyhead.com for a week or so. Do you have any idea what’s up with this photo? If so post your caption or story of the photo below.
