In a recent interview with the Arizona Republic, Maynard James Keenan shared his perspective on the separation of church and state, describing the government as a "machinery" that should remain free from emotional or religious influence. "It's a car, it's an engine, it's mechanics," Keenan stated. "There's no faith involved... You can have your faith, but it shouldn't affect how your car runs."

"That's why separating church and state is important to me, 'cause the government should not be an emotional being," Keenan continued. "It should be a mechanism. It's a machinery. No faith involved."

The interview comes as Puscifer prepares to launch their 2026 North American tour, which kicks off March 20 in Las Vegas and includes a stop at the Arizona Financial Theatre in Phoenix on March 21.

The moment has become a highlight of the band's current "DO YOU FEEL LOVE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR" arena tour, perfectly capturing the lighthearted rapport Sebastian maintains with the fanbase despite the band's intense stage presence.

Trent Reznor took a moment during the final stop of the current Nine Inch Nails tour to set the record straight regarding the band's future on the road. Addressing the crowd, Reznor sought to clarify comments made earlier in the week that had led to widespread speculation about the band's retirement from touring.

"I think I said something the other day that then got misconstrued into something that is not intentionally necessarily true," Reznor explained. "What I said was, this is the last show of this tour and we don't have any shows booked and we don't have any plans to book any shows any time in the future so far. That doesn't mean we may not tour again."

While confirming that fans shouldn't expect live dates in the immediate future—noting it "won't be next month" or "this year"—he emphasized that the band is not "intentionally stopping." Reznor admitted he had previously questioned if touring still "mattered," but credited the current band and crew for creating a production he is "really fucking proud of." He concluded by thanking the audience, noting that their support makes the band feel like they "have a fucking purpose."
