I’m not even sure how to say the name out loud.
Puss-if-err
it didn’t occur to me till just now, but Puscifer is kind of a RevCo rip-off.
I always joke that it’s Maynard’s version of Pigface.
And I like them. It’s sort of hit-or-miss, but they have some good stuff.
Pussy fur.
Honestly, though, I always thought it was pronounced “Poo-si-ferr” (rhymes with “Lucifer”).
I don’t know a single song they did, other than that silly “Country Boner” song that was played in the “Fix” movie. I know I tried looking into them on YouTube about 6-7 years back, but nothing spoke to me.
This is my favorite song by them:

It’s also the song Paul did a remix of. The 1st album was very electronic and tribal sounding. Then they did a bunch of goofy singles. (The aforementioned “Country Boner”) The 2nd album is much more acoustic and mellow, like A Perfect Circle. The shows are quite strange, because they do it like a little stage play, there are characters coming and going.
I know there’s a lot of Maynard hate around here, and I do get it. But he does some weird stuff, and at least it’s interesting. To me, anyway. It reminds me of the early 90’s, when bands like the Butthole Surfers were just generally weird, and the shows were made for people on drugs.
Gunnar, you think it’s pronounced “Poo-ci-fur” because Maynard is a big piece of poo…
That is also very true.
He is a poo.
Maybe Grumpy can go down to Rhino Records again and score us free tickets when he buys a couple copies of Flowering Blight for $1.99.
I cant go. The new kid will be only 3 weeks old and mrs. Smrf wont feel up to it. So this one is a no go for sure for me.
This is an odd turn of events…
I might drop cash on a front row balcony/mezzanine seat if there’s any available in a couple weeks, but I don’t know if I’m gonna wanna drop that kind of cash. Shows at the Fox Theater tend to be overpriced.
So I picked up tickets to the December 11th show. I was a little late to log in, so I’m up in the balcony.
Looking forward to it.
Puscifer was on mr.show in the early 90s i guess its an inside joke name.im not a huge maynard fan but always thought tool was interesting…i think were all jaded and not into new music…whats the thought on als SMM im not too interested myself

if they were playing near me i’d be half tempted to go and try try to get Barker to sign my DSOTM booklet I got Al to sign where he crossed out Paul’s face. getting Paul’s retaliation on it would make it truly complete.
they’re not though and would be too costworthy/hassle since i’m not into Puscifer.
Going to the 17th in riverside
I caught one of the LA shows a couple weeks ago. Was a good time.
When Maynard introduced the band members, Paul go the biggest response.
I drove up to a very snowy Prescott with a few friends last Monday to see them. Very good sound and performance, though the wrestling mash-up is pretty bizarre (and amusing). Paul received a very good ovation when announced. Their music is very much suited to his style of playing. As much as I had a good time, I think once was enough, and won’t be doing the Phoenix show next year.
1002
I missed the Terminal 5 NYC show because the tix were a bit pricey (imho) and I wasn’t that familiar with their music…
After getting up to speed and getting hooked on their new material a bit, I’m gonna try to see the Huntington show and support Mr. Barker. =P

Not going to the show despite a Detroit appearance. I’ve tried to get into Puscifer a few times to no avail.
I did notice that the video for The Remedy features Paul Barker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HivxFBB87-Y
Yeah, I’ve tried to like them, but honestly the only Maynard material I’ve ever really dug is the first Perfect Circle album, which struck my ears as the perfect blend of numetal and classic rock.
I was addicted to the first Puscifer album, but every one after that I liked less and less. I didn’t even get the new one - I listened, but it was just dull and passionless.

I liked the other APC album also…the one with the weird caterpillar on the chicks face(can’t recall the title right now)…you could hear a heavy The Cure influence on some of those tracks…
I don’t like albums, but I like songs here and there. “The Humbling River” and “Man Overboard” come to mind.

Numetal? Blasphemy.
