Puscifer
Biography
While one might imagine Maynard James Keenan would have enough going on to keep him busy as a frontman with the groups Tool and A Perfect Circle, in 2007 he decided to record an album under yet another name with Puscifer. Described by Keenan as "the space where my Id, Ego, and Anima all come together to exchange cookie recipes," Puscifer first appeared as the name of a fictional band Keenan fronted in a cameo on the HBO sketch comedy series Mr. Show in 1995. It wasn't until 2003 that Keenan actually recorded under the name, when he teamed up with Danny Lohner for a track called "Rev 22:20" for the Underworld soundtrack, and it wasn't until four years later that he set to work on an entire Puscifer album. Organized less as a traditional "rock band," and more as a musical collective in which Keenan could work with a rotating lineup of likeminded artists, Puscifer's early recording projects featured a large cast of noted musicians, including Tim Alexander from Primus, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk from Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine, former King Crimson member Trey Gunn, violinist Lisa Germano, pop singer/songwriter Jonny Polonsky, and actress and vocalist Milla Jovovich.

So far I'd have to say my current favorite song of 'Puscifer' would have to be "Rev 22:20". It's just AWESOM. No matter how many times I listen to it, I want more.

Awesome album!! I just recently found the remixes "V is for Viagra" --- Just as good as the original!!! Go buy it !!!
|
||
Puscifer is cool. Would like to get a copy of The Mission, instead of waiting for Sat. Radio to play it.
|

Maynard makes some of the best music I've ever heard and this is no exception. I just love puscifer. Fav song has got to be "The Undertaker" from the Underworld 2 soundtrack. That's forsure one of my alltime fav songs in all of music.
|

Saw Puscifer last night at club nokia. It was great. Amazing even.
Danny Carey stopped by to play the closer for the night. What a show. |
||
MJK = SEX.
Orgasmic.!! omg yew juss dont know how simple that really is... |
||
I must say that on first listen I was dissapointed . The songs sounded nothing like the previous songs that had been attributed to the name Puscifer. However, they have really started to grow on me. Still think I prefer Tool and Perfect Circle but it's pretty awesome and definitely worth a listen.
|
||
Don't shoot the messenger is the best, only 4 songs but they all kick @ss. They also have an album called V is for Viagra which has remixes of the songs on V is for Vagina and a couple extras like country boner. I really like a few of their songs but I think Maynard's releases with Tool and A Perfect Circle are definately better.
|
||
I want any music by Maynard played at my funeral....a n d every day until then!!!
|
||
MJJ--- Groove Music... i have been a pretty hardcore MJK fan for awhile now... and he never ceases to impress and amaze.
|
||
I dare to say, and anyone can step up, but MJK demonstrates with Puscifer that he is the equivalent to music as Einstein is to science.
Puscifer is a stronger release than anything by TOOL or A Perfect Circle. MJJ |
||
puscifer started as a fictional band on a couple episodes of a televion program called mr. show. it didn't just POP up out of nowhere on a soundtrack.
|
||
This is the kinda s**t you can do hte horizontal groove to ;)
|
||
Yep. His big start on this was a song from the Underworld sound track, which I see as kind of the theme song for the whole band's theme and appearance.
