So Iha is still with The Smashing Pumpkins or...? What's going on there?
Smashing Pumkins are still on tour, and continuing for the rest of this year according to their website. I wouldn't expect to see Iha back anytime soon.

I'm fine with that, Greg was stellar when I saw them!
Regardless of what you think of the cover, what stands out for me is that Maynard's vocals are pretty strong and aggressive here.

Was good to here a bit of the ol screamo from him but I cant say I loved his voice. Sounded a bit unnatural and forced but I'm hoping that's more likely to do with he was trying to perform a cover more than how much of a struggle it is for him to sing aggro these days.

I certainly think there was a strong element of making the vocals suit the music, so it's probably not his "regular" voice. It was more the willingness to scream and be a bit grittier that appealed to me.

Yeh I'm sure it won't be the way he sounds on the album but agreed was good to hear him get a big aggro.

Given obvious exceptions (No Quarter/Demon Cleaner/You Lied) I always thought Maynerd was never good at covers, there is a reason half of Emotive was sung by Billy
Jimmy just can't hit the notes
Not sure why he even tried tbh

I dont know what the fuck he was thinking with that one. I remember reading an interview around that time where the rest of the band were putting that squarely on him questioning why. If there's one song that should not be covered it's that.

You motherfuckers are high Maynard sounds fantastic on this cover. Trust me I take every possible opportunity to shit on Maynard but I got nothing bad to say. Shame it is being wasted on another project not named Tool, but I will give the old man his due here ole Jimbo nailed it.

You don't understand, that song isn't meant to be sung, it's meant to be yelled, only two men could pull that off, one is dead the other is deaf.
RIP Bon
