Maynard had a helluva stretch between APC and Tool in the early 2000s. Between them both we got Mer de Noms, Lateralus, and Thirteenth Step all in the span of three years or so. Some of the best work of his career in a relatively short time frame. Outstanding.
i know Im asking randomly but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
The first 2 were both great, the first is just little better IMO. I also have recently been liking the latest one a little more than I thought I ever would.
Always love to see more Perfect Circle on this channel. I highly recommend "The Noose" for a powerful, ethereal, wonderfully atmospheric journey from the band.
‘Gravity’ by APC was big in my musical journey. It is not going to break much ground but it’s such a gorgeous song to hear and in my opinion, one of their best. Up there with Orestes and 3 Libras
Can`t believe that it`s been 21 years since this was released. Mer De Noms istill an epic album. Billy Howerdel is playing guitar, keyboard and bass in this one btw.
Awesome to see someone suggest a newer song. I wasn't that into Eat the Elephant at first but lately I have been listening and liking it more than I imagined I ever would. It is really good, even though I wasn't quite getting it at first, I always understood that it'd difficult for a band to live up to the personal expectations we fans have and set for them after they set such a high bar with previous albums like the first 2 especially. When I listen to ETE now I hear it as refreshing, like why would I want them to try to "top" or even "match" what they did in the past? ETE is great for different reasons, for me at least, than the first 2 APC albums.
@@BillCoz a band like that is never going to do the same album twice. Each one has to be viewed on its own merits/flaws. Is it my favorite? Probably not. But its still really good. And as you said the first two were some of the greatest albums ever to me.
@@Atom-E.B.E. Listen again, then again and again. Then reevaluate and see if you still feel the same way. You might, but I've learned with tool, a perfect circle, puscifer, all Maynard stuff, sometimes it sounds simple and uninspired, but if you listen a bunch of times they song start to grow on you, then you start seeing true genius in the music. Puscifer's new album was like that for me, I had to listen to it like 100 times, and the newest tool record was pretty much like that too. I did like that when it came out but didn't consider it up there with lateralus or aenima, now I consider it possibly as good as either of those. Now, Maynard was in a lot better shape when he was younger, he is like 55 or 56 years old, and I think he does great for that age. Have your own opinion, that's cool, I'm not one of those crazy tool fans who wants it everybody to like tool and gets pissed if they don't. Have a good one man.
My personal fav. APC off this album my god i've belted out the lyrics to it live with tears rolling down my face a few times.. Never miss any Maynard live show
I love that people call out their favorite APC songs and I see each song title and think, "yeah that one is their best... no wait I forgot about such and such" lol. They have so many great ones and I guess there really is no "best". The line "bathed in Breña", is now repeating in my head uncontrollably. Thanks for that.
Mild infection, cracks and stole my thunder, peeling skin off from me, have I been ya? Ride him safely in, girls I've never been thru, peel me, peel me, have I been ya? Broken down, bits of light, opening thru, skill, opening thru, skill
Clever got me this far Then tricky got me in Eye on what I'm after I don't need another friend Smile and drop the cliche Till you think I'm listening Take just what I came for Then I'm out the door again Peripheral on the package Don't care to settle in Time to feed the monster I don't need another friend Comfort is a mystery Crawling out of my own skin Just give me what I came for Then I'm out the door again
I’m still here! If you did every single TOOL, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer song in one day and posted them, I’d watch every one in succession until I fell asleep.
Orestes (Oh-res-tees) is from Greek myth, son of Agamemnon. He killed his mother and her lover after Agamemnon came back from the Trojan War and was murdered by the two lovers. I always described the opening of this song as 'flying underwater with the sun on your wings.' The live version of this from Stone and Echo is equally incredible, maybe more so.
The Stone and Echo version absolutely surpasses the studio version for me. Orestes lends itself very well to vastness and Red Rocks gave it some much needed room to breathe.
Morning Geebz! Beautiful track to start your day with! Orestes is my fav song from the album Mer de Noms. Why? Because of the vibe/atmosphere, the vocal lines and the flowing rhythm...and the break is CHICKENSKIN! 🤘
He did do 3 Libras I think, but yes that's a fcking great one too. That's the APC song I most often hear people say is their favorite. Definitely one of mine.
I work at a psych hospital. I had really been jamming to this song, and thought it was beautiful. So, I was talking to a patient around my same age, and who liked similar music to me. I told him he should check this song out because it was really awesome. Anyway, the patient had been in various psychiatric hospitals for about 20 years, when he was in his late teens he developed schizophrenia. During an episode before he was medicated he killed his mother and father. Only later did I find out what the lyrics to this song was about.
Just discovered your channel today. Loving the songs you do. I’m stuck in the early 00’s Metal. Dillinger Escape Plan, Isis, Converge, Botch, Mastodon, etc. I’d love any reactions from these guys.
Add Deftones and NIN these were all of my favorite bands too. I like that you mention Botch too which are kind of niche and not nearly as big as those other bands but holy hell did I listen to We Are the Romans and Anthology of Dead Ends a *ton*
OMG taken back to the times when this was released, what an emotional journey. With your elaborated 'bonus tracks' in the middle adding the 'rational' reasons why we were so overwhelmed back then, and still are.
I was introduced to Tool in my early 20's. (that was a very long time ago..lol) I absolutely loved the group. Had no idea he had been singing with a different band. I had heard of this group, but didn't think anything of it until I found your channel. So this has been a journey for me as well, finding new music from him. Thanks for doing what you do. I like hearing how you break down the music, helps me hear what you hear. Brings more life to the music.
Maynard also has a third band called Puscifer. It's much quirkier than the prog metal of Tool or alt rock of A Perfect Circle. Kind of hit and miss for me where Tool and APC are both "all killer, no filler", but the good stuff is fantastic. The "V Is For Vagina" album is solid, and also highly recommend Grand Canyon, Apocalyptical, and the live cuts on "C is for...)
When this first came out, it was during one of my first pretty severe depressive cycle. I used "one more medicated peaceful moment" as a preface to my poetry book required by my college creative writing class. To this day, this has SUCH a huge impact on my life. I listen to it whenever I'm either about to or am cycling. It gives me the strength to keep going on instead of hurting myself or someone else. A huge part of my musical soundtrack of life.
Was quietly watching the channel for some time now, thought to drop a comment and show my appreciation. Happy you did this awesome song. Warm greetings from south germany.
Thanks for what you do my friend. For the people who are loners, you give us company; while listening to our favorite songs, we are not entirely alone. Thank you geebz
haunting, beautiful, and an odd peacefulness. I've heard this song countless times and it still gives me chills every time, especially with headphones or if you just focus on the song it will just envelope you and sweep you away for a moment. that's music is all about and supposed to do. Maynard you slayed it...thank you for your artistry.
I saw them in concert with NIN on The Fragile tour when only Judith had been released on the radio. I left the show with this being my favorite APC song after never hearing it before. The build is just fantastic. Great vid as always!
This song has been a part of the soundtrack of my life for over 20 years now, and sitting here listening along with you, I put on my Geebz ears. I had never noticed the guitar shifting left to right, but picked up on it right away and knew it was something you would bring up on your first listen. Thanks for giving me a new way to appreciate music, I have picked up on a few other things in different songs now that I am paying more attention to the production.
I'm still here! I'm iffy when it comes to other artists but I watch every one of your 'Maynard journey' videos to the very end. Someone here mentioned APC's Disillusioned, which is a great song indeed. I'm still holding out hope for Puscifer's Bread and Circus or The Underwhelming. Thanks for another great vid!
Mer de Noms came out around the time I had a really bad breakup. I spent many nights belting out these songs in my car just driving. Thank you for doing these reactions. Maynard's voice puts shape to my own emotional states like no other artist and your breakdowns really have helped me appreciate his artistry even more. I'm grateful.
Fun story about this album. When I was 16, (I am 36 now) I got my first car. I got a gift certificate to Radio City to get a cd player and good speakers. I waited 6 hours in the lounge just waiting with baited breath. When my car was ready, this was the first album I put in. I cranked it all 45 minutes home. I remember that day so well. Every time I hear a song from this album, I’m brought back to that day at Radio City in the lounge and driving home on route 4. Ah, to be young again.
I automatically like the video before hitting play. And had to rush to comment too. Thank you once again for doing APC. I honestly don't mind what sing comes next. I love them that much. I'm sure anything people recommend will do fine and eventually you'll do the ones I enjoy the most (hopefully). So thank you! I love your channel. Always a smile even today after i was feeling down and this lockdown situation in London isn't getting easier. Bored as hell.
The way you break down the composition adds a new layer to my appreciation for music. "Hallow" is the word I've been looking for in some of the sounds I hear in this song
Wonderful reaction, as others have noted this whole album is so wonderful. It always takes me back so when I first bought the album and what was going on in my life and this song in particular could easily be top 10 of all songs all time
A song from A Perfect Circle's "The Thirteenth Step" could be an interesting dive for the APC decomposition, my favorite track off that one is The Package. Great bass tones, fun spaced out drum rhythms and James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins on guitar doing some beautiful clean electric work. Very vulnerable tones in Maynard's singing.
He opened their 2018 concert here with The Package and I wanted to cry. All time fav APC song and his vocals are even more stunning live, but it’s the drums in the song that get me every dang time. P.S. I’m still here!
Happy easter! I just came home from a visit to my family, and I saw this notification a few days ago. The second I got home, I turned on my pc, and I was like "I gotta hear this." I hope one day we get to Magdalena too. It's my favorite song from that album.
This is one of my favourite APC songs, Maynard's voice is just beautiful - love I particularly love the final 'slip away and sever thi-i-i-i-s...''. I saw them live in Manchester when Thirteenth Step was released and it was strangely the most chilled gig I've ever been to. We sat up in the balconies and I remained seated throughout just soaking up the experience while the mosh pit was banging below lol
I'm still here brother!!! Love hanging out with ya man. Do as many videos as you like, sometimes I watch only one , some days I get to watch 4 or 5 of your videos. That's the beauty of this platform once you've uploaded we the viewer can watch anytime or come back to videos we may have missed. 🤘🏼
Still here. Keep having fun! Do as many songs as you like. True, I cannot listen to all of them now. But you do so much stuff I like I know that when I someday go back and listen to some of your other reactions I will find new stuff to add to my play list.
Good choice my man. Favorite song off that album. 😁😍 It's great seeing you put together the thoughs I have had for years, but couldn't put into words. Thank you.
For a completely different APC song, you should do “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish”. So upbeat, but a very ominous message. And staying with the Maynard theme, “Humbling River” by Puscifer is incredible. Love the channel! Aloha!!
Maynard's always real good at hitting you in places you might have forgotten about. Good stuff as always. Also, if you give the song 'Thousand Hands' by Elder a shot, that'd make for a great trip. Very proggy, layered and some amazing creations of cavernous space through sound.
The harmonies they do on the live red rocks show “stone and echo” take it to another level. Gorgeous song. I’ll always hope you do more Maynard, Geebz. Thank you! 💚
just listen to a whole bunch of good bands at red rocks, that place with its acoustics that are some of the best in the world and it always brings the best live performances
Maynard had a helluva stretch between APC and Tool in the early 2000s. Between them both we got Mer de Noms, Lateralus, and Thirteenth Step all in the span of three years or so. Some of the best work of his career in a relatively short time frame. Outstanding.
What a time to be alive!

I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Preston Jaden Instablaster :)
Pretty wild to think that he was working on Lateralus and Mer de Noms at just about the same time...
@@hvitekristesdod Guess it goes to show people have stretches of genius or wild creativity.
That whole first APC album was great.
Absolutely, I've lost track how many times I've listened to it over the last two decades. Sign of a great album is always replayability.
Timeless.
Amazing album 13th Step is also pretty epic but give me this album all day long
Understatement of the century
The first 2 were both great, the first is just little better IMO. I also have recently been liking the latest one a little more than I thought I ever would.
Always love to see more Perfect Circle on this channel. I highly recommend "The Noose" for a powerful, ethereal, wonderfully atmospheric journey from the band.
Second this. The drum groove on The Noose is one of my favorites.
WHen that song came out I was sharing it with everyone. So amazing.
the noose is probably one of their best songs.
+++++ Please Mr. Geebs
Just 13th Step, start to finish. One video, don't even mess with that perfection! 😄👍👍
‘Gravity’ by APC was big in my musical journey. It is not going to break much ground but it’s such a gorgeous song to hear and in my opinion, one of their best. Up there with Orestes and 3 Libras
Don't forget "the noose"
Agreed! That and Vanishing.
Gravity does something to me man, pure beauty
Probably in my top 2 or 3 fav APC songs. Holy hell it's brilliant.
@@chrisrcowley It pulls you down, right?
Can`t believe that it`s been 21 years since this was released. Mer De Noms istill an epic album. Billy Howerdel is playing guitar, keyboard and bass in this one btw.
I wish he'd but out a new Ashes Divide album Billy is super talented
I know right? I feel old T_T.
Where the hell did my youth go! Saw APC with NIN. Such a great show.
Also singing harmony.
Wasnt Paz from Teen Idols on bass?
"and I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility" I get chills when I hear this part every time.
"Gotta, cut away, clear away, snip away and sever this umbilical residue that's keeping me from killing you"
100%
Word....
Same!!!
Speaks tons of a relationship falling appart...
The entirety of Mer De Noms was an absolute masterpiece. I still get waves of emotions and memories whenever I listen to it.
agreed, one of the best albums of all time, no exaggeration
Orestes always reminded me of Duran Durans Come Undone, i think because of his voice and that "fretless" bass feeling tone
Still here, love stopping by to see what you're decomposing next!
Im still here. Disillusioned is another powerful track of theirs.

This song makes me cry to this day. One of the most powerful and emotional songs of my lifetime
The layers in vocal harmonies in this song is absolutely breathtaking.
Hell yeah brother Geebz... another great tune by A Perfect Circle ⭕... spiral out my friend🌀.
Please also do "Breña" by A Perfect Circle! It's their best in my opinion
agree ^_^ Breña is beautiful
I named my youngest cat (she just turned 1) Breña after the song
@@lilscrydvl That's amazing.
I love that people call out their favorite APC songs and I see each song title and think, "yeah that one is their best... no wait I forgot about such and such" lol.

if you listen to just one more APC song it really needs to be "The Package" 🤘🤘
Seconded!
Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
Eye on what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Smile and drop the cliche
Till you think I'm listening
Take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again
Peripheral on the package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for
Then I'm out the door again
@@BillCoz yes those are indeed the lyrics
@@vanilla_milkshake Huh? Oh, no no, those were just my thoughts, off the top of my head. Just felt like sharing ;)
The base on this song always gives me chicken skin when it first comes in.
So excited to get home from work and watch this. This is one of my favorite apc songs.
Never clicked a video so fast. My fav APC song! Absolutely beautiful song.
I’m still here! If you did every single TOOL, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer song in one day and posted them, I’d watch every one in succession until I fell asleep.
Speaking of a “HOLLOW sound”, The Hollow is a badass track on that album. Sick melody for the chorus
cause is singing from the womb...
This song was UNBELIEVABLE live
maynard live when he really tries is maybe the best live vocalist out there. there's rarely any dropoff from studio to live which is so rare
The Package is a favorite APC song of mine
Orestes (Oh-res-tees) is from Greek myth, son of Agamemnon. He killed his mother and her lover after Agamemnon came back from the Trojan War and was murdered by the two lovers. I always described the opening of this song as 'flying underwater with the sun on your wings.' The live version of this from Stone and Echo is equally incredible, maybe more so.
The Stone and Echo version absolutely surpasses the studio version for me. Orestes lends itself very well to vastness and Red Rocks gave it some much needed room to breathe.
I'm so glad someone else knew what this song title was referencing.
«This umbilical residue keeping me from killing you»
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever made.
Morning Geebz! Beautiful track to start your day with! Orestes is my fav song from the album Mer de Noms.
Why? Because of the vibe/atmosphere, the vocal lines and the flowing rhythm...and the break is CHICKENSKIN! 🤘
Love the Maynard James Keenan content. Always a good listen
Not sure if you hit it yet but three Libras is hands down my favorite APC song
It's awesome to watch you discover this wonderful group
There's really something special about that song
3 Libras will still bring this 52 year old man to tears, almost every time I hear it. It's almost as if I wrote it, myself.
He did that one a couple months ago ua-cam.com/video/lrbaht-0FKw/v-deo.html
He did do 3 Libras I think, but yes that's a fcking great one too. That's the APC song I most often hear people say is their favorite. Definitely one of mine.
I love this song, it reminds me of my sister

I want to like this a bazillion times.
My favorite tool song. So fucking intense
He HAS to do it
YES! waiting for the Grudge every day I'm checking what I've missed haha
Enjoy the ride, Geebz will get to it ;)
Truly awesome song one of my favorite of Maynard's vocals from all of his projects.
Man, when everyone goes full volume and the harmonies hit hard... it's such a beautiful gut punch to the soul
This one and Breña were the two APC tracks I was hoping for. 🤩 Thank you so much!
Highly recommend the live version!!! So much more emotion which gives more meaning to the composition
One of my favourite APC songs. Pure atmosphere
One of the greatest voices of our generation in this band.
Thank you god! I've been waiting for this one!

Yesss!!! This song is one of my top favorite songs of any genre!!!
This was my favorite music experience. When this thing came out I listened to it every track over and over for months.
Their latest album, Eat the Elephant, feels like music to watch the world burn by. I would pitch the song/video "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish".
Oh my god yes. This is my favorite APC song. Thank you so much for doing it.
"The Package" by A Perfect Circle is such an underrated song.
Thank you finally! Love this song! Please do BRENA from the same album.....
Yes! One of my favorite APC songs ever. In terms of softer songs that APC has, my favorite!
Tool fan here - APC and especially this album has absolutely epic harmonies and layered vox! Some of the best I've ever been blessed to listen to
Happy easter! I just came home from a visit to my family, and I saw this notification a few days ago. The second I got home, I turned on my pc, and I was like "I gotta hear this."
I hope one day we get to Magdalena too. It's my favorite song from that album.
I've known the pronunciation to be OAR-ESS-TEES. Such a good song. Every song on the album is a name. Mer De nom= sea of names
Well, almost. "Thinking Of You" wouldn't be a name, unless you consider that to be "You". But then what about "Over"?
Coming from years of studying Classics (Greek/Roman) it would likely be pronounced O - RES - TEEZ. But potayto potahto.
Hollow?
@@Lateralus46and2 "The Hollow" could technically be the name of the void, or hole inside that needs filling.
@@immaculatetoilet the song lyrics fit, they're about some kind of addiction.
Red Rocks live is life changing. I think it's my favorite live ever.
This is the first APC song I ever heard. Still probably my favorite. And Brena
A beautiful track...along with many more to come with this band! 🤘
This is my favorite song of all time. Thank you!
This is one of my favourite APC songs, Maynard's voice is just beautiful - love I particularly love the final 'slip away and sever thi-i-i-i-s...''. I saw them live in Manchester when Thirteenth Step was released and it was strangely the most chilled gig I've ever been to. We sat up in the balconies and I remained seated throughout just soaking up the experience while the mosh pit was banging below lol
I'm still here brother!!! Love hanging out with ya man. Do as many videos as you like, sometimes I watch only one , some days I get to watch 4 or 5 of your videos. That's the beauty of this platform once you've uploaded we the viewer can watch anytime or come back to videos we may have missed. 🤘🏼
Amazing song, amazing album! Such a versatile voice and always top shelf musicians to go with it all
Still here. Keep having fun! Do as many songs as you like. True, I cannot listen to all of them now. But you do so much stuff I like I know that when I someday go back and listen to some of your other reactions I will find new stuff to add to my play list.
One of my favorite APC songs. Just a beautiful piece of art!
You're awesome man, loving your vids and insights to things most of us probably missed.
This was wonderful as usual. I would love to see you break down all the drum sounds on The Package. I think you will really enjoy what they did there.
I'm still here! Here for all of it, man! I just can't get enough of your perspectives and insights into my favorite tunes!
Good choice my man. Favorite song off that album. 😁😍
It's great seeing you put together the thoughs I have had for years, but couldn't put into words. Thank you.
This is my favorite APC song. It's just gorgeous. Always takes me right out of my head.
This song to this day brings me to tears
For a completely different APC song, you should do “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish”. So upbeat, but a very ominous message. And staying with the Maynard theme, “Humbling River” by Puscifer is incredible.
Love the channel! Aloha!!
Still here Geebz! Seeing this reaction pop up once I got off work really took the edge off of a rough day. Much love from Texas!
Big smile on my face when I read your comment - Aloha!!
Maynard's always real good at hitting you in places you might have forgotten about. Good stuff as always.
Also, if you give the song 'Thousand Hands' by Elder a shot, that'd make for a great trip. Very proggy, layered and some amazing creations of cavernous space through sound.
LUV this song 🎵
The harmonies they do on the live red rocks show “stone and echo” take it to another level. Gorgeous song. I’ll always hope you do more Maynard, Geebz. Thank you! 💚
You should check out the Live at Red Rocks (Stone and Echo) version of this song. Its amazing.
just listen to a whole bunch of good bands at red rocks, that place with its acoustics that are some of the best in the world and it always brings the best live performances
Hey brother , really enjoying your channel! Glad to see an enlightened opinion on music that i like! Keep decomposing well down there!
