Quick recap of Sydney show last week:

The new ICC theatre that just opened has the best acoustics I've ever heard. Seriously even whistles from the crowd sounded amazing. If you ever get a chance to see a band there.... Go!

Maynard is clearly so much more into Puscifer than Tool at this point I wouldn't even be surprised if he just up and quits them in next few years. This isn't so much a negative in my mind, more just an observation.

Puscifer live are great bloody fun. I really enjoy watching these guys and their last 2 albums have both been on point for me.

Carina for me is the main focal point of this band. Her voice is amazing and she is delightfully strange to watch.

Maynard sounded freaking amazing and fortunately didn't suffer any kind of issues with his mix levels.

Drummer cant remember his name slays and really makes Puscifer sound the way they do.

It sure is great to not have cameras up in ya face the whole time when watching a band and I wish more artists took a stand against it.

Song highlights:

Agostina
Vagina mine
Toma
The remedy
Money shot
The arsonist

Jeff Friedl

He and Matt make a pretty good rhythm section, huh?

Yeah man, great bass tone too!

Matt is not playing with Puscifer right now tho right? hasnt been since Money Shot came out?

Don't know names but i do know that the fella from ministry took over bass duties from money shot onwards. Like his predecessor has a killer bass tone.

Totally spaced that Paul Barker took over bass duties from Matt.

Yeah, Paul Barker is the man now. I think Matt McJunkins has been working with Eagles of Death Metal or some other bands (though he and Jeff still do The Beta Machine together). Wouldn't surprise me to see Matt back in the Puscifer camp at some stage.

I really enjoyed Matt last tour when they came to Aus as Puscifer and APC but felt they lost nothing by having Paul in his place

Paul is an excellent bass player, as is Matt. Puscifer isn't really a band to stretch a bass player though - I reckon I could probably do it.

There is some seriously tasty licks on the last 2 albums that while may not be technically insane to play, it's a whole different concept to actually be able to write them and have them fit the song. So I see where you're coming from but have to disagree

Matt played bass on Agostina and Money Shot (song).

Pretty solid interview from the aus tour with Maynard, Carina and Mat:
