A CANDID INTERVIEW WITH A PERFECT CIRCLE’S MATT MCJUNKINS ON HOW HE GOT THE GIG AND TIPS ON HOW YOU CAN GET ONE TOO!
Friday, September 23rd, 2011 at 1:00pm by Justin GosnellWell hello again!
I hope you’ve been enjoying everything I’ve been posting here today on Metalsucks.net. This next interview is really something I was beyond thrilled to be able to do!
A Perfect Circle is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite bands and are also a huge inspiration on myself as well as my own band, Vestascension. So, when Matt McJunkins agreed to do an interview with lil’ ol me, well, I basically soiled myself. Matt is a really awesome dude and everyone out there should give this a good read even if you’re not into any of the bands he’s involved with. He provides some very interesting insight into what it takes to land an audition and what to do and what not to do if you actually land one. Of course he also talks about his work in A Perfect Circle, Ashes Divide, Puscifer, 30 Seconds To Mars, and even gives a few details about his new project with Jeff Friedl.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with Billy Corgan? 
In case you didn’t know, Billy Howerdel is something of a hard rock Cinderella story: he started as a guitar tech for bands like Nine Inch Nails, Tool and Smashing Pumpkins, and was working with Axl Rose on Chinese Democracy when Maynard James Keenan heard some demos he’d written and decided to start a band with him. That band, of course, was A Perfect Circle, and that’s the reason any of us know who the hell Billy Howerdel is today. See? Doing other people’s grunt work really can pay off!
Dude, remember Matt Pinfield? The last time I saw him was at least four ago, when he was hitting on my friend after her band
I’ve made it clear before that
I don’t know what the consensus is on A Perfect Circle these days, now that they’ve been gone a few years; personally, I loved them (okay, maybe not eMotion, but definitely their first two albums). Were they as good as Tool? Of course not (who is, really?). But they were fuckin’ great, and the two times I got to catch them live, they killed.
