Maynard James Keenan Poses for Bizarre Photo for New Live Release
Maynard James Keenan is a unique cat. This isn’t shocking or new. However, he never fails to do something at least once a year that makes you ask, “WHY?!”
Keenan’s band Puscifer announced a new live release due out on March 22 titled Cinquanta – A 50th Birthday Celebration for Maynard James Keenan – Live. The album is a live recording of Keenan’s 50th birthday concert, which took place on May 10, 2014 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. What makes this release truly newsworthy is its truly bizarre artwork. A very adult Keenan is shown in a crib wearing a bib and a diaper. He’s striking a pose with his legs in the air and is pantomiming crying similar to an infant.
Stating the obvious, but if Keenan doesn’t have an entry on wikiFeet yet, he soon will. Also, the more I stare at it, the more I’m convinced that this image will somehow flash in my mind moments before I die.
Looking past the artwork, the album features 20 tracks in a 2CD or 2LP set. The vinyl pressings are available in a variety of colors. Full details are available at Puscifer.com, where fans can pre-order the release.
