This song is actually referring to when he was asked to take his mother off life support... Incredibly powerful the sentiment contained within this song
Hands down one of the best live performances I've ever seen...not just this song, but this entire concert.
It's amazing right. Some of the best musicians playing at their best and just FUCKING KILLING IT
Could not agree more! I must watch it in full nearly monthly.
World class musicians on fire! Nothing like it, the sound guy and the video guy should have won Emmys
I haven’t watched the DVD but had the privilege of being at this show. I don’t think anyone realized it was being recorded and I was blown away when I heard about the dvd/album.
Absolutely 100 percent agree. Saw them open for Nine Inch nails and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
Orestes is some of Maynard's best vocal work, hands down.
I think one of APC's most beautiful songs is "Gravity", it's spare and haunting and full of a spiritual resolve that speaks to me. After I lost my only son to alcoholism this song's line "I choose to live" gave me strength to carry on both for myself and for my son's memory.
Totally agree, always brings me to tears listening to gravity!
Yes, Gravity is my favorite on 13th Step, just something about it, the bass line, the ethereal sounding effects on his vocals and the delivery.
I am glad that you found the strength to go through such a difficult loss. Life is worth it
🙏🏼
The noose...
Amazing to see someone paying attention to perfect circle. Amazing and criminally under rated band from the 90’s!
You don't listen to Orestes; you experience it. Especially this version of it.
This live recording, the sound, the visuals, Maynards vocals and the whole band are totally on point. This is so beautiful, powerful and emotionally provoking it can almost bring you to tears. The whole gig in full is a ride!
Billy Howerdel and Maynard do harmonize together so well in APC.
Carina and Maynard's harmonies in Puscifer are even better imo.
Horizons by Puscifer is a beautiful song he wrote about his mother. Specifically about spreading her ashes in his vineyard. The calm, accepting tone in his voice is something else.
Finally! A fan who recognizes Horizons as the final song in the “Maynard’s Mother” saga. I’ve seen most people exclude it.
@@southbayspike I didn't realize it was about his mom - that... destroys me, actually.
Love Horizons! Momma Sed (both album and live) is an old favourite and shows his varying vocal range with each version
song is about so much more than familial relationship. (wings, aenema, momma sed, etc etc etc...). it's more universal ...("unconditional one") than that
And “Agostina” about his daughter.
Maynard is a beast of a vocalist. He can sound like an angel and also scream his head off. So versatile, so amazing! One of the greatest, imo.
to be honest this would be the first time I hear, that Maynard was abused by his mother. that would not match at all how he describes her in other songs. I always thought the song was about euthanaisa / assisted dying. His mother is in pain and he has to decide if he frees her from it. and he is still pondering and does not want to say goodbye ("give me one more medicated peaceful moment"). if he does't, he is partly responsible for her agony and if he does, he has to live with the fact hat he killed his mom. he is in a "dammed if you do - dammed if you don't" predicament, just like Orestes was.
I am almost certain the abuse came from his dad. That's why he felt so abandoned by his mom in the beginning( as crazy as it is, kids of divorce blame mom for dad leaving ECT. Even tho it is not her fault he felt abandoned that mom sent him to dad even though he must have known she couldn't care for him the way she could before) and like in Jimmy he had to realize his feelings and come home to his mom....
I believe this song is about pill addiction.
I don’t think the abuse was from his mother, more likely from his father.
From what I have heard, the abuse was from his step father, before his mother was paralyzed and he was sent off at 11. I can’t quote where I heard it from, nor can I say that it is true.
Why does everyone link this to abuse? Isn’t this song literally about Orestis the son of Agamemnon? He had to kill his mom and it killed him inside.
I think you’re ready for the younger Maynard performing Sober live with Tool from the early 90s. That’s a powerful early performance. Hope you check it out!
Yup. I'll second that notion.
YES plzzzz 😅🤘
Do it!
Agreed.
Absolutely!!! Even after 20 years, every time I watch that particular live performance it gets me.... she has to do a video on it!!!
Great Selection! For APC I’d also suggest “3 Libras”, another Tool suggestion would have to be the Live version of “Pushit” off the Salival album. it’s an amazingly emotional song about a Toxic relationship
Either version of Pushit is amazing. Both impact in their own way. Both are beautiful experiences!
@@bubbasboyngirl true, but I thought she’d appreciate hearing Maynard sing live again
YES
Pushit is an amazing song. I like the Aenima version better but both are great. However, pushit is about addiction. Any song can have any meaning to anyone though. She should still listen to pushit.
@@dougr642 Addiction is definitely a Toxic Relationship
Can't wait to be part of another first reaction! Your journey and discovery has become my journey of re-discovery!!! Thank you for this wonderful unexpected experience!
Maynard and Carina Round's HARMONIES are SUBLIME. Puscifer HUMBLING RIVER. 🤞✌️
I LOVE Carina's vocals!
You should check out the Deftones song "Passenger" it features Maynard in the song and him and Chino Moreno the lead singer for Deftones sound awesome on that song.
When you were saying halfway through how satisfying the vocal harmonies were, I was like Oooooh just she wait until the final chorus!!
You're right, they sing beautifully together. Their harmonies are ridiculous
Man Billy is so incredibly talented!
Couldn’t agree more! That solo is so godly! It’s a shame no one made tabs for this!
Which one is Man Billy?
I feel lucky to have been able to talk to him several times as I saw him shop at the grocery store I was working at for a while. Such a humble friendly guy
@@fyou2327the guitarist
It's like all these albums that I used to listen to a lot for certain times in my life have been misplaced in my life experience. You remind me of music I had forgotten that I enjoyed so much once. So thank you and enjoy your journey. You are so very lucky you live in this age where this is all available at your fingertips!
We feel music in our bones and our veins, and this song rattles every internal part.
Kudos to this lady too, it’s truly feels like I’m feeling this along with her in how she is falling into the music.
This one to me is the most beautiful version of this song, and one most beautiful songs a ever heard too
By and Down is a very good one too
I feel like “keeping me from killing you” is literally about Maynard ending his moms life. One more medicated peaceful moment makes me feel like this is about Maynard making the decision to end his mothers suffering. Working in the medical field I’ve been a witness to these moments many times and it’s humbling hearing this experience from those directly affected.
Orestes was a greek tragedy, orestes dad (agamenon) was murdered by his wife and lover,
Orestes didn't have a vengeful soul, so he continued his life away from his mother and stepfather. One day, the god Apollo appeared to him and ordered him to avenge his father, which he did. However, matricide was a serious sin, and the gods punished him for it. Very accurate song title IMO.
Thank you for this. I didn’t realize that until now
By and Down, from APC at Red Rocks is fantastic, became one of my new favorite APC songs
Maynard's voice agility is crazy! His emotive way tares into your heart with such amazing clarity. A Perfect Circle is one of my favorite projects EVER!! You Absolutely have to listen to 3 Libras, The Noose, The Doomed... oh man, their entire library is well... Perfect. Thank you!
Music is the closest thing to magic we have, it is my everything, after watching your reaction, has helped me fall in love with music again, I was cynical thinking people don't listen to music, but you have proven me wrong, thank you so very much! Layne Staley was also an amazing singer, AIC Unplugged is Epic!
This guys are top notch musicians and, of course, Maynard is one of the best rock vocalists (and Billy's voice complements his so well). And one of the most unique frontmen when he's on stage, I mean, look at him on the back of the stage moving like Quasimodo from The hunchback of Notre Dame 😀
I stumbled upon this concert on UA-cam awhile ago. Mesmerizing from start to finish.
Good on you for letting it play the last few measures. Such a wild ride - fun to watch you take a spin! Thanks for the reaction. Unreal live performance.
I have goosebumps already.
Thank you so much for this.Loving this journey you’re taking with TOOL & Perfect Circle.It’s beautiful to watch.
Wonderful reaction vid as always. I agree on the guitar crying and it almost brings me to tears every time. The voices and guitar high notes, just wow. Incredible melodies. Right in the feels. Loving your journey with Maynard 🖤
I've been listening to Tool since the early 90s and then A Perfect Circle since the formed, and I will say that they have never felt dated to me. I'm the kind of listener who connects with the music first, and it takes me a long time to hear, digest and understand the lyrics, possibly because I'm dyslexic, so Tool and A Perfect Circle unfolded for me slowly over many years, but they are a couple of the few bands (in addition to the band "Alice in Chains" which I would highly recommend to you too) that have really lasted the test of time for me, and I find myself continually returning to them with new insights and new meanings as my life progresses and changes... I'm sure many people experience this too. Tool, APC, Alice in Chains... are bands that encapsulate a kind of poetic truth from very personal experiences that transcend the genres they come out, and that's why they are still so good and relevant today IMO.
As far as I know, Billy Howerdel, the guitarist who sings, writes the music, and Maynard writes the lyrics to the music. Billy was the guitar tech for Adam Jones, who's the guitarist for Tool, and Maynard overheard some of the music he was writing and wanted to collaborate. Billy initially was envisioning a female vocalist for his project, but Maynard wanted to be part of it, and it turned out that it worked out. Josh Freese, the drummer is a highly talented session drummer that's played drums on a lot of records, but his drummer on APC's first album "Mer De Noms" is some of the greatest drumming I've ever heard... The Drums on the opening track "The Hollow" is just phenomenal.
As for the guitar playing, something that Tool, A Perfect Circle, Pusifer and Alice in Chains share is that the guitars are first and foremost played in a way that assists the identities of the songs without standing out as being played for the sake of showing off technical ability, if that makes sense.
Tim Alexander (Herb from Primus) was the original APC drummer and he recorded “The Hollow” on the album. Josh Freese played on the rest of the album. I agree that the drumming on this album is spectacular! Both drummers are two of my all time favorites!
The Outsider from this concert at the Red Rocks is awesome...! They were definitely on that night...!
With perfect circle you're in rabbit hole, no escape!
wonderful analysis from an absolute beauty inside and out
I was at this concert!!! Red Rocks is the best venue!! My home state of beautiful Colorado!!! 20 minutes from my house!! This was one of my favorite red rocks concerts. And I’ve been to at least 100 there!!!❤️🌀👁. Definitely check out Peace love and understanding live at red rocks.. same show.. Billy singing.. it’s one of my favorites!!!
PS: Was lucky enough to catch both shows in Morrison at Red Rocks💯🔥
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this one!!! One of my fav Maynard songs, just sucks you in. "I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility"!!! The Outsider is a absolute must too
This version of Orestes gives me goose bumps head to toe.
I subscribed because of this reaction. Loved your Electric Callboy and Tool reactions and this is my favorite APC song. It almost always moves me to tears. The one thing I haven’t seen you react to yet (as far as I can see) is Baby Metal. If you have never seen them please react to Road Of Resistance by them, you will not be disappointed.
Truly an incredible show to see for sure! Love this band!! great react 👍
The guitarist that he is harmonizing with has an amazing band called Ashes Divide. You should definitely check them out - well worth the listen!
MJK is a true enigma in our time. May we never meet our heroes! Because honestly if I got made fun of by my hero, I'd have a lot of re-evaluating to do privately, but I am brittle like that, LOL.
This is one of my favorite songs from a perfect circle
Beautiful and haunting song. I love the way you respect and genuinely feel the intent of the song at hand too.
Please react to By and Down from this same concert. Also, not from this concert, but any original Live version of 3Libras he sings with such wonderful emotion and a most beautiful song!
WOW!!! Thank you for this!! One of my favorites! You should totally cover this song!
Beautiful and powerful. Music has a power that is unsurpassed....
Haven't listened to too much APC, so the very emotional tone to this one kind of surprised me. Feels different from other emotionally charged Tool/APC songs. That instrumental break, for example. I haven't heard a Tool song with that kind of feeling.
There is a fourth and final song to the “Maynard’s mom” saga. It is always overlooked as part of the story. It is a Puscifer song he wrote about scattering his mother’s ashes. It’s called Horizons. I’m so surprised so many do not acknowledge this song as the final song in the saga. Whatever the case, you really should add that to the end.
Jimmy, is also about his mother. About when he had to leave after her brain aneurysm to go live with his dad.
I really enjoy being part of your journey through Maynard's repertoire. If I can suggest another corner of his personality, he wrote a beautiful song with Puscifer, which is Grand Canyon. His version his great but strangely I dig the one by Brass Against. I hope you will listen to it and enjoy as much as me.
Great interpretation of this song. I’ve been watching your channel because of your discovery of Opeth, but I’m glad I caught this video and your reaction as well! Subscribed !
I hadn't seen this version before, thanks for sharing! Loving your Tool / APC journey! Keep em coming :)
Yet another beautiful breakdown of a work of art! Thank you soooo much for opening up to the world like this! I've been a Maynarrd fan my whole life and you're providing a ton of additional perspective. You are an inspiration
This live show was recorded brilliantly and sounds amazing. Every song has a little something extra in it in the live setting. Explore any song on this CD you won't be disappointed with any of them. you're doing amazing Aileen
Great song from a great performance by a great band!
If I may add; "The Outsider", "When the Levee Breaks" & "By & Down". All are from the same Stone & Echo performance & many HD versions are floating around youtube.
Really like your channel!
Orestes is an amazing song, and also the demo of it by Billy Howerdel is gorgeous. It may also note the namesake for A Perfect Circle.
I have been a tool fan for probably longer than you have been in this world and Maynard is my favorite singer ever (next to Rob Flynn from Machine Head - check Now We Die) and you have taught me so many different stories about Maynard and a great interesting perspective of the passion in his voice. Thank you for enhancing my perspective on Maynard and all of his endeavors!
Been listening to tool since 1996 and Maynard continues to amaze me even today. I also perceive 2 different singers when listening to TOOL or A perfect circle, just like you.
The way he can "switch" personalities/voice/style, from one band to another, is very very cool.
...Yes, perceive, but with Tool it is only Maynard. With APC, songs feature more harmony and back vocals by Billy, and others
@@lizperry2322 read again. We are not comparing bands here Liz. This is only about Maynard´s multiple "characters". If you want to discuss tool vs apc, lets do privately.
Maynard gets a lot of love but don't forget about Billy he has an old side project called ashes divide that's also incredible and has a new solo album coming out soon definitely worth checking out
have fun experiencing those songs for the first time. if you wanna get deeper into the rabbit hole try wolves in the throne room with the song i will lay down my bones among the rocks and roots. a bit long but strong atmosphere if you jump in mentally
When the levee breaks from the same concert is the best I’ve ever heard Maynard sing. It’s a Led Zeppelin cover but the absolutely kill it.👍
yup simply amazing stuff, especially Live at Red Rocks
Puscifer has great songs, the remedy, the humbling river, BUT I feel the most emotional and tear jerking song is Horizons
“You speak like someone who has never been smacked in the f***ing mouth” one of my favorite Maynard lines
I agree with Horizons comment
This is a positive music I love the positive music and the positive fact when you explained by music you're excellent and smart 🤓💕🎶
Amazing song, and even more amazing performance. Another one from red rocks is "by and down"....beautifully arranged and performed, well worth checking out!
When it comes to the songs about him and his mother I feel like Jimmy from Tool gets overlooked a bit. Amazing in itself, the vocals have a wonderfully haunting echo to them that I've always loved. Hopefully that gets put on the list. Keep up the great work
Tool is always on my bucket list of bands I wish to see live. But I had the privilege to see APC live, that means a lot more for me.
with, a perfect circle, started my journey with his amazing lyrics and the way he performs them. And has of course followed to Tool. Another band where there are very personal lyrics is, Pain of salvation. You should check that out. The passing light of day
When you do the 3 Libras live reaction, the outdoor one where he's wearing a white wig is the best one.
Good to know, thank you! :)
@@AileenSenpai Be sure to react to *H* BY TOOL
Amy Lee from Evanescence does a cover of this song you should listen to. It’s not worth reacting to because the only recorded version of it is very low quality, but I think you’d enjoy it on your own time. Her voice and Maynard’s….I would love to hear a collaboration.
I wish Evanescence did more complex stuff, they stay just outside of the metal category but Amy Lee could probably bring it if she wanted to go heavier.
Again, 1 of the greatest albums ever recorded. 🔥👍
Billy Howerdel is the guitar player/backupsinger. He has a band as well, "Ashes Divide", As well, Billy has a new solo album coming out next month.
Highly recommend you listen to Fear:Innoculum in its entirety: tied with Aenema as my favorite Tool albums. 13 years was worth the wait! Also check out Puscifer's Bullet Train to Iowa, Tool's Vicarious and The Pot. Maynard is quite the talent, similar to Trent Reznor. Spiral Out...
I’m pretty positive this song is actually about his struggle with having to pull the plug on on her at the end
They say Tool is Maynard’s heart, A Perfect Circle is his heart and Puscifer is his privates. Speaking of Puscifer check out Potions, Trent Reznor(NIN) did some work on it. Also for more Maynard, checkout Passenger by Deftones
That concert is fucking epic. If you react to any other APC tracks, make sure it is from this show.
Can't wait. There are a few more live performances by a Perfect Circle you'll need to check out live from the Jay Leno show three Libras and The outsider
You've said before that you have a tendency to overthink, to which I can relate. But your overthinking leads you to hear things in these songs and see things in these videos that I often overlook, so that's one reason I really like your reactions lol Another reason is that you have a very expressive face that conveys your emotions really well, and it makes it easy to read what you're feeling and thinking while listening to the music
I agree regarding being therapeutic. Definitely one I enjoy belting out in the shower to when i need a release. Being an empath too, I got tears from this version. Hadn't listened to it in years, so thank you for sharing. Pushit Salival is a must. Along with Vicarious, Jambi, parabol/parabola, Flood, Aenima, Right in two, and if you're ready then lost keys/Rosetta Stoned. APC thirteenth step is an incredible album. Puscifer have some gems too.
I just wanna say i love you so much and would love to see some music you've done.
Man what an awesome show that would have been to see in person.
Goosebumps, no matter how many times I hear this masterpiece, goosebumps :D xoxo
I know thats not couse of my recomendation from while ago, but ty so much.
When it comes to Puscifer, I usually start people with the song Grand Canyon. I believe MJK has said it's one of his favorites that he has written.
Under rated song showing of Maynard’s vocals. Perfect Circle “Brena”
I’d highly recommend reacting to 3 Libras. The album version or if it has to be live try to find an old version as they only play the remix version live now. It’s my all time favourite APC track and you’ll understand why when you check it out.
I remember when this album came out i played it everywhere trying to get the vocals down. Every song was perfect like a circle.
PLEASE do A Perfect Circle 'When the Levee Breaks' from this same concert! It's absolutely beautiful!
I finally made it for the premiere! Great band, great song, great reactor! 🙏
My Puscifer suggestion is A Singularity - Live at arcosanti
It was a wonderful reaction. I really enjoyed it. Please react to "Jimmy " by Tool next. Keep up the great work. ❤🤘
Good review. Thank you. Seen them, TOOL & puscifer multiple times with sister . Amazing
Nice reaction vid tbh 💯
this whole show is an absolute experience/journey
Fantastic song. You also should check out their cover album "eMOTIVe" with song covers from John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Black Flag, Depeche Mode, Led Zeppelin and others. Came out before the presidential elections in the US in 2004. Really loved these versions of those particular song titles there. 2 Songs there also were original songs beside everything else being covers.
You should definitely check out their cover of Joni Mitchell's "fiddle and the drum" from Red Rocks. It's almost acapella and it's beautiful
I've seen APC live three times. Once for each of their major album releases- Mer de Noms, Thirteenth Step, and Eat the Elephant. Every single time it was a transcendental and deeply emotional experience.
This is my personal all time favorite. It takes me on a journey every time I listen with my eyes closed. MJK for life.
one of my top favorite songs of all time
The drums are killer because its the Goliath Josh Freese!
