    A little context:
    Maynard’s mother, Judith Marie, suffered a stroke and as a result, was wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life. But despite that, she continued to hold strong to her Christian faith. As the lyrics to this song make clear, Maynard does not share that faith. Although, his feelings for his mother’s continued belief evolved. When she passed away, he wrote the lyrics to “Wings for Marie” and “10,000 Days” for the Tool album 10,000 Days. Lyrics that helped me with my own mother’s death.
    I recommend that you give those songs a listen some day so you can fully appreciate the difference from the vitriol shown in “Judith”.

      I disagree about the meaning of lyrics, not just this song, but any song, or any poem. The writer has a certain idea, meaning when writing it, but as soon as it's released, the original meaning loses shapes and it changes, transforms into a shape that is provided by the reader, listener. The new meaning doesn't make the original meaning... meaningless (sorry, couldn't resist), but to me, as a listener in this case, it may be nothing more than just a vague guide in order to help me reach my own interpretation of it.

      I've seen them 3 times live.
      There are VERY few vocalists I've heard live that can replicate their album performance near 100% accurately, and sound great live.
      Maynard is something else; The guy seems inhuman at times.
      When I saw this on their first tour, my jaw was on the floor. He made it seem like he even had more to give. He was definitely emotionally charged during the performance.

    Judith was Maynard James Keenan's mother's name. She was a very religious person. One day she had a stroke that left her in a wheelchair partially paralyzed. This stroke only strengthened her belief in God - something that Maynard found to be pretty ironic. The lyrics in this song reflect how he felt about the whole situation.

  • @BliboranBass
    @BliboranBass 5 років тому +428

    The difference between Tool and APC is that APC is usually simpler, softer, has shorter songs, and are more alternative rock than progressive metal / hard rock. I slightly prefer Tool to APC but APC is still incredible. They still display the fantastic musicianship that Tool does, but their songs are more straightforward with a standard structure. Oh also this song leans on the heavier side for them.
    Definitely do "The Outsider" for your next APC pick though! It's the "Judith" of their second album; guaranteed you'll both love it!

    A Perfect Circle is about as much Billy Howerdel's band as it is Maynard's, he's the one who got it going in the first place after all. In terms of comparison to Tool, thematically there are a lot of overlaps but they're explored in slightly different, more "radio friendly" ways, and in terms of the music Tool are a progressive metal band, A Perfect Circle are an alternative rock band, so the two don't muscle in on each other too much. I absolutely love all of Maynard's work, Puscifer are absolutely sick as well.

      Listen to “Daddy” by Korn. Jon Davis, the singer, was molested as a child, and his parents did not believe him and the abuse continued. In “Daddy,” he has a legitimate emotional breakdown in the song, and at first his bandmates thought it was just him channeling his rage. They didn’t know what to do, so they kept playing and what followed sends chills down my spine as Jon comes unglued and spews endless rebukes against his abuser.
      It is a song so deeply personal, Korn NEVER performed it live for 20 years. He never could face that song, and even if he could, he couldn’t go back to that place emotionally.
      He performs it now that his abuser is dead. He has healed over the years, but it is still very hard for him to do it. He says he only performs it because he knows his voice can reach children who endure the same things he endured, and wants them to know he has been there too.
      It is a damn DAMN hard song to hear - for me at least. To have a meltdown during recording, and still publish it on your FIRST album takes some serious guts.

    If you liked the drumming at the end, you should check out their song "The Noose" which has an awesome drum groove. APC's drummer on their first two albums, Josh Freese, is different than Tool's Danny Carey, but still a top tier drummer and one of the most versatile in the entire business. He's great.
    As for the difference between APC and Tool, the former is a bit less progressive metal and more alternative rock/metal. Generally they have shorter songs, that are also generally not as complex and with more typical song structures and time signatures, but they are still very creative and definitely morso than most modern alt rock, I'd say. The drumming is definitely different, but both bands have two of the best rock drummers active. While Tool uses their bass and guitar about equally for rhythm and melody, I would say APC, while still having good bass work (especially on some particular songs) the guitar is a bit more prominent as a lead instrument with short solos and cool lead lines/licks and they make more consistent use of a rhythm guitarist in their grooves unlike Tool who only has one guitar player. This is very likely due to lead guitarist Billy Howerdel actually being the co-founder and writer of most of the instrumental melodies for A Perfect Circle. But generally, APC isn't quite as complex or intricate and is a bit more straight forward alternative/art rock, but that is by no means a negative. I would say they are more accessible, but that their songs are also a bit more varied in sound (even if most aren't as complex as most Tool songs) due to not being as focused on the progressive or metal elements. But they still have some killer riffs, leads, drumming and, of course, singing and lyrics courtesy of Maynard James Keenan. The two bands are both distinct, but both equally brilliant. Some people may prefer one over the other and that is understandable and cool, but APC is super talented just like Tool, just a slightly different flavor. That's how I would put it anyway.
    Cheers, love the reactions and like the polls, but I would say still choose at random from the suggestions too since sometimes the most popular song requests aren't the best. Judith is a great song though and I definitely look forward to seeing you guys react to more APC!

    Maynard has come out saying that he writes with two different minds with these bands, - he writes for Tool with a very masculine mindset and he writes for APC with a feminine mindset. He also describes it as left of the brain for Tool (the functional, directional, thinking side) and the right side for APC (the linguistic, emotional, reasoning side)... - His words, not mine, - but he definitely thinks there's a difference, either way.
    The other guys for the two bands are also very different musicians and write in different ways, - you'll need a few more songs of each to nail down how you think they play.

    Judith is actually the name of Maynard's mother, she was paralyzed for quiet some time, I'm not sure what illness she had, I think it might've been cancer, but this song was written while she was still alive I believe, so this his feelings towards how he felt about his mother keeping her faith strong while she was going through this illness. The Tool album '10,000 Days' is a reference to how long she suffered before she died (some 27+ years) the song of the same name is in memory of her and is the polar opposite of the anti-god lyrics in Judith, that one is more paying homage to how great she was to him.
    Edit: It was actually a stroke, I believe this happened when Maynard was 11 years old; referenced in the Tool song "Jimmy"

      I have only just recently discovered The Humbling River and I absolutely love it. It's also the song my son asks to be put on in the car now.
