Puscifer, Sweethead, Uncle Scratch’s Gospel Revival

“What have I been listening to lately?” asks Maynard James Keenan inquisitively when approached about the subject of his playlist.

The Tool, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle frontman has a thought ready for about almost anything, but the topic of music causes him to step back for a second. Then he laughs, “I’ve just been so sheltered!”

Maynard’s far from “sheltered,” but he is spending a lot of time spinning Puscifer tracks in order to prep for the band’s two Los Angeles shows at Club Nokia on April 4th and 5th. However in between preparations, he sat down with us for this exclusive interview. He opened up his iTunes and gave us a peek at his playlist.

Check out Maynard’s playlist below.

Maynard James Keenan’s Playlist:

1. Puscifer

“To be honest, I’ve been listening to our own stuff because we’re trying to get these shows going and we’re reinventing all of the tracks. I’m sitting here right now trying to learn the harmony to a version of ‘Undertaker’ that we did called ‘Spanish Fly.’ It’s got a lead sung by Juliette Commagere, but it’s in Spanish, and I don’t know Spanish [Laughs]. I’m sitting here all day long listening to this harmony in Spanish trying to learn the words. I’m going to have to write them on my hand, and then put on my glasses [Laughs].”
