A Perfect Circle

While it may not be the early 2000s anymore and most of A Perfect Circle’s genre-mates have either gone the way of the dinosaurs or stuck around and … let their talent go that direction, the iconic rock group is still one everyone should see at least once. As the vehicle for Maynard James Keenan’s moodier and more atmospheric inclinations, the band holds some of the best instrumentalists in all of modern hard rock. Along with every member being individually skilled, the dudes just know how to perform. Even if Maynard fans seem a little scary, which they are, the band always gives a memorable experience to an audience, both sonically and visually. - Brien Overly
