“[Hard rock used to have] danger – ‘It makes my parents nervous.’ But when you watch Ozzy Osbourne stumbling around in his kitchen picking up dog poop on ‘The Osbournes,’ well that scary part is gone, isn’t it?
“Rock, we’ve almost outgrown it as a culture. There are other things that are dangerous.”
Maynard and A Perfect Circle have released “Eat the Elephant” on April 20 as their first full-length studio album in 14 years. You can stream it below.
The singer said about the record during the interview:

“There’s bass, guitar, drums, and a guy singing and then sometimes screaming. I guess that’s a cliche for me. If you responded to those moments of mine in previous incarnations over the years, I suppose you’re going to have that sense memory.”
