Also this. Check the APC section. Is this enough to warrant confirmation of an official live APC release?

If 'forthcoming' by Manson means Born Villain then I don't know. Isn't it taking too long to mix a goddamn live release?

Well that tweet I mentioned was less than 24 hours ago, so I'd say it's still viable.

You're right though, it is taking a while. That image of his credits was put on Facebook like a month ago. And it had to have been made before even that, because the Born Villain thing like you said.

It's got an 'A' next to it, so I guess no DVD. Oh well, I'm still happy to hear about it. This means we'll finally have an official "By and Down".

Doublepostban.

Does anyone know anything about the show/recording that this is taken from? The quality sounds pretty good, and Maynard seems hilariously lit.

Lincoln, Nebraska. 12/12/0X (don't remember the specific year). I've posted the link to it before, but it may have been pre-New ETS. Last show before Christmas. Maynard was dressed as Santa, replacing lyrics with Christmas lines (The Pet is fucking hilarious; no spoilers from me). Lots of jokes between songs. If I had it on me, I'd just re-upload it. Won't be home until sometime next year though, so no luck on my end.

A Perfect Circle? Ashes Divide? Who knows!

​By and Down single release tomorrow please please please.

I know where I'm going this December!

That'd be funny if they played the eMOTIVe setlist again.

Wine Tasting + APC Sound Check

The wine magazines are talking about it. The movie BLOOD INTO WINE tells you about it. Now you can come learn about it first hand, while trying it yourself! Basic concepts of Maynard's wine and processes used by Caduceus and AZ Stronghold will be presented. A Caduceus Vineyards representative will discuss the wine, take questions and you'll be able to personally critique the wine. Class sizes are restricted due to short supply. Please note, this event occurs a few hours before the show. (Tastings will be based on each city's schedule, but typically start at approx. 4 pm.)

Following the wine tasting, patrons also receive access to APC's sound check!
ALL WINE TASTING PATRONS MUST BE OVER 21 AND HAVE A STATE OR FEDERAL ISSUED ID PRIOR TO ENTERING THE WINE TASTING.

Oh I get it, this show is just another round of wine promotion and have nothing to do with the new music and shit

[Harry Seaward]

^ Yeah, I can't believe these cunts. Playing concerts and shit, who the fuck do they think they are?

[NotoriousTIMP]

Keep in mind that they have show(s) in 2013 so this is most likely a warm-up date. You guys crack me up with all the bitching that's going on in here. If you don't like the fact that there is a upcoming APC show then don't go, problem solved.

I personally would love to see them again, regardless of new music or not, because I enjoy their live sets.....

[Harry Seaward]

Oh, also worth noting that that VIP stuff I pasted says 2011, so this show might be different. No way to tell yet, unless anyone knows of another place to find this out.

[fillow]

I can bitch about what I want as along Maynard keeps touring only in NA and Down Under (with either band).
Europe, mother fucker, will you tour it?

With such nice fans, I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to

[october_midnight]

Yeah it seems like a warm up show to me, but I too think it's wrong for fillow to come in either this, the Manson, or Tool thread and expect any other type of response. My only beef to something like this is that it's what...2 years now? 2 and a half? that Maynard's heart clearly isn't in it. Glad I saw them in 2010 where it still kiiiiiinda felt like it was...maybe. Now it just feels disingenuous.

[Harry Seaward]

They played like 30 shows last year.

[Broadbent]

They played like 30 shows last year.

Maynard hasn't given a shit since 96. it only started to show in the performances at the end of the laterals tour

[october_midnight]

They played like 30 shows last year.

Umm, I know. Doesn't disprove my point.

Oh, unle$$ you're implying that there'$ no way he'd do it rather than $imply becau$e he ju$t LOVE$ to tourrr!!

[aggroculture]

Put out a new album and tour it with a little enthusiasm. Or shut up and go home. Unfortunately, given Tool's impending album+touring cycle, neither is likely to happen.
Mixing up the wine thing with APC is just pissing all over the fans.

If a fan buys a ticket, they're not getting pissed on - unless they've made the adult decision that they're getting pissed on and do it anyway.

If a fan doesn't buy a ticket, no harm done.

If enough fans don't buy tickets, no more shows.

Can someone please explain to me what the problem is?

[aggroculture]

With Puscifer, there was a connection with Caduceus, albeit a primarily financially-driven one: the Blood into Wine soundtrack was mostly Puscifer songs. I don't begrudge Maynard for mixing those two things together. Both the Puscifer and Caduceus fanbases are largely constituted by Maynard/Tool obsessives. I know those kind of people because I am one of them...but I won't buy the wine. Or a soundtrack full of songs I already own.

What the hell does Maynard's wine have to do with APC? It's a horrible dilution and cheapening of the APC brand. It's like he's only taking APC on the road if he can set up a little booth at the side to sell his wine...it's classless, and he'd never get away with it in Tool, the other guys'd tell him to go fuck himself.

And asking people to pay for a fucking soundcheck is horrible. I've had to stand through hundreds of soundchecks in my life, comes with working in the music industry. I will never get that time back. The idea of paying to see a soundcheck strikes me as an all-time music industry low. It's preying on some fans' eagerness to have exclusive insight, or a closer relationship with the band. It's taking advantage of the very kind of personality cult Maynard spent the first 15 years of his career ranting against. I accept he's changed his tune on that front with Puscifer and Caduceus, and now markets himself as a personality. But does APC need to be turned into the Maynard Inc. show too?

I'm fairly sure that these shows are essentially financing everything Billy and Maynard are doing, respectively. I'm not sure that Ashes Divide gets label funding, but the last Puscifer album was fully funded by Maynard. A Perfect Circle has no label behind them to finance any release--should they choose to have one.

I'm thinking Tool was doing something similar, funds-wise, from their brief touring earlier this year.

Quoted because I don't think the message sank in the first time everyone read it.

[JessicaSarahS]

Damn. Forgot tickets went on sale yesterday. Now I'm going to be stuck in the back.

[jaimie]

Did you buy already? If I were you I would wait, I am sure you'll be able to find somebody unloading decent seats as it gets closer. There were still orchestra seats as of today...

Either way glad you're coming, should be a fun weekend!

[DVYDRNS]

going to this for sure.

thats gonna be a busy month.

Refused, A Place to Bury Strangers, APC.

yeesh.
