Vocalist Maynard James Keenan compared the massively-anticipated new Tool album to Guns N’ Roses “Chinese Democracy,” telling Revolver while discussing A Perfect Circle’s upcoming album “Eat the Elephant”:

“I had this other looming project that can’t seem to go forward, as much as I’ve tried, every magic word in the book that I tried. It’s just no different – and worse because there’s pressure now, and what are we? ‘Chinese Democracy II’ or III? So I saw a window.”
Keenan added
“Having conversations with Billy [Howerdel], it seemed like he was ready. If I were to do another Puscifer record, I’m going to get fucking murdered in my sleep because people are going to keep blaming that project for the delay – when it’s not.”
Briefly focusing on future plans, Maynard confirmed his schedule is pretty booked at this point, saying:
“I’m already booked up until probably March 1st of 2019. I already know where I’m gonna be.”
