Nothing More - Fade in/Fade out if you want something to punch you in the feels HARD. Stay safe out there brother. I love and appreciate you and your reactions.Also, tell your mom she's fucking awesome and we need to see more of her!
Even after many years later and I still enjoy Paz putting her hair up during the breakdown and then picking right back up when her part begins again. You missed it man! One of my favorite moments in any music video.
I'm really glad you reacted to this. It's one of my all time favourite songs. My mum died after an 8 year battle with cancer when I was 16. I went to a Catholic school and she was a devout Catholic right till the end (pilgrimages to Lourdes, the whole nine yards) After she died I had a really difficult time with my faith and this song encapsulated how I felt. It means so much to me and I'm glad you appreciated it ❤️
You have started it. Now you must listen to the Wings of Marie 1 and 2. It is required listening. It is almost a continuation of this song, but with Tool.
Imo A perfect circles best songs are "Weak and Powerless" "The Noose" "3 Libras" "The Hollow" "Pet" "The Doomed" "Talk Talk" "So long and thanks for all the fish"
This song really hits home to me. Same with 10,000 days part 1 and 2. It really reminds me of my girlfriend who died of cancer back in 2016. She was a beacon of light and hope for me and when I lost her, I lost everything. I lost what little faith I had and went into a self destructive depression. I'm forever thankful for Maynard for putting my pain and existential depression into words and music.
Billy Howerdel was a close friend of Maynard, and Tool’s guitar tech for Adam Jones in the early days. Then he formed this band with Maynard in the early 2000s
Alex, Judith is part a many song story. The other parts are “Wings for Marie” parts 1 and 2, as well as all of 10,000 Days,( from the Tool album 10,000 Days) was dedicated to lead singer Maynard James Keenan’s mother Judith Marie Gridley. She passed away 3 years prior to the release of the album. Judith is the angriest song from before he came to terms with what was happening to her. The Tool songs are after her death and after he did come to terms with it. You should definitely check those out. He also has a third band Pusifer that you should check out as well. I've seen both A Perfect Circle and TOOL in concert over the last year and both are incredible bands but really, really different. The TOOL concert was pretty standard, by TOOL's version of standard, metal show with the lights and projections and all the rest. A Perfect Circle though was one of the strangest concerts I've ever been to. They both super enforce the no phones and camera rule but APC goes farther. The stage was dark most of the concert. Maynard is in the back of the stage and you can hardly see him. Everyone is lit from underneath so you this shadow effect like the band isn't even really there. It was just wild. Two of the best concerts I've ever been to and I've seen hundreds of concerts.
Im not contributing to meaning of songs here but ive seen puscifer and tool in concert. I love all maynards bands but tool concert wasnt really for me. Puscifer was good though. The performance, lighting, breaks. It was quite enjoyable
For more A Perfect Circle you gotta check out their songs “Pet”, “Orestes” and “The Outsider”! Also, Maynard’s actually in 3 bands 😂 check out “The Remedy” by Puscifer as well if you feel so inclined! 🤘🏻
I've heard this song probably a million times and never knew Judith was his Mom. Thanks for the attention to detail and effort to fully understand a song. It's dope.
Oh man A Perfect Circle, yes! If you liked that then I also highly recommend Weak and Powerless as well as The Outsider! Both two underrated songs as well, imo!
Washed my hands about a million times today at work - damn virus!!! Love you too Alex - you better be staying safe too and slow down on them noodles or you gonna turn into one. LOL
Super happy that you’re finally listening to A Perfect Circle! I hope you keep going down the APC Rabbit hole after this... so many great songs for you to do reactions for!
Definitely check out The Outsider by A Perfect Circle aswell, especially since you (atleast seemed) to love this one. Keep doing you my dude, love ya lots!
The evolution of Maynard from “Judith” to “Wings For Marie” is inspiring. I have a religious mother and I have made the same evolution in thinking. I just want my mother to be happy and if religion does that then so be it.

REACT TO SOME FEAR FACTORY PLEASE HOMIE!!! I'VE BEEN WITH U SINCE DAY ONE. FEAR CAMPAIGN AND DEMANUFACTURE AND CYBERWASTE AND SECRETION POLICE STATE!!!! THOSE ARE SOME BANGING TRACKS!!!!
Day 30 of asking this: Alex please react to Dead By April they're a really good Swedish electronicore band ! Also react to Rise Against if you're looking for something energetic!!
@@typhoonf6 I think so too... 'As a butterfly' has an intro that I think he'll really like, and it also has the proper amount of screams and melodic cleans....
Hi Alex. Please react to Avantasia: the Scarecrow or the raven child or the wicked symphony. Hoping you will react to this great band. Greetings from Germany.
In a quote from a Christian group: The greatest single cause of atheism is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out and deny him by their lifestyles. That is what an unbelieving works simply finds unbelievable. Being the son of a preacher I saw the hypocrisy in organized religion. I never pretended to be more than I was.
You said the key word was "blind" in blind faith, but I wouldn't necessarily say faith is completely blind. We don't base our faith in Jesus without any evidence. We can base it on the testimony of those who came before us and SAW Jesus. Not blind. The gospels are eyewitness accounts. Jesus through the perspective of four different authors in totally different walks of life, who had access to the very witnesses who saw and walked along side Jesus. They wrote these books during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses, which is important because if another eye witness were to read one of these and something be off, they would have called them out on it, not every eye witness would have been a follower of Christ. You see, the Gospels would have been something that could have been easily falsified, but they never were. Jesus disciples were killed for not denying that they SAW Jesus after his crucifixion. I think David Wood explains it well- "How did a few disciples of Jesus convince so many people to believe a man claiming to be God rose from the dead. Just look at Jesus's disciples, all but one of them went to their bloody deaths claiming they had seen Jesus risen from the dead. Most people's explanation for the origin of Christianity is that the disciples made up a story so they could spread Jesus's message, but that explanation doesn't make any sense. If you're willing to die for something, you obviously believe it. When a terrorist blows himself up, no matter how wrong he truly is, he's obviously sincere about his belief. So Jesus's apostles had to truly believe what they were dying for, which means they were truly convinced they had SEEN Jesus risen from the dead. When most religions are willing to lay down their lives for something, it's for an ideology they had heard from someone else, and that ideology could be true or false. The disciples were dying for something they SAW. What convinced so many people that they had seen a resurrected Jesus. You can probably explain one or two of them away as being crazy, but all of them? You can think about it all you want but there's no other explanation for why they all had that same level of confidence, even to the point of death, than they actually saw Him. Which means if Jesus did what He said He would do when He said He would rise from the grave on the third day, then you can believe there's a better life to come when He said there is."
I think he said the the keyword was "blind" because he was talking about blind faith, not just faith; I certainly don't think he would disagree overmuch with anything you have to say here, he was more pointing out the dangers of faith without thought or consideration.
I'm an apostate. I spent 21 years in the church. This is "the problem of suffering" condensed into a song. If god is good how could he let it happen? If god is all powerful he could have stopped it. If god is all knowing he could have designed it all to avoid this suffering. The god of the bible cannot be omni in all its traits and still allow for a universe such as ours to exist. This song is the emotional cry of that philosophical position. Its brilliant.
Buddy of mine back in high school when this came out was in a band and they would cover this. They did a battle of the bands at a local school and they said they couldn't cuss. So he would scream "HUG YOUR DOG!"
There’s very few musicians that can write a song that draws you in like this one does. Judith is #1 on my list for that very reason. It’s lyrically and musically GENIUS.
Drummer of a former band i was in met Maynard at a party before he was super famous. And apparently he his an arrogant rude person. Still love all his music. He even has his own winery now. Genius for sure.
I LOVE THIS SONG !!! It's to my understanding that Maynard's mom, Judith was confined to a wheelchair for 10,000 days; hence the Tool album "10,000 Days."
Mer de Noms as an album is a masterpiece. The mathematical precision on every note and depth of every song was incredible. It got me through pretty much every long paper I had to write in college.
Maynard's Mind = Tool, Maynard's Heart = A Perfect Circle, Maynard's Genitals = Puscifer Tool - Jimmy, A Perfect Circle _ Judith , Tool - Patient, Tool Wings for Marie (pt 1) , Tool _ 10000 Days ( Wings for Marie pt 2) to get the whole story of how Maynard deals with his feelings about his mothers affliction suffering and death IMO
this video brings back memories. josh freese kills it on drums (ask your boy how hard it is to kick ass in 6/8 time) and the break where the bass player puts her hair up i always thought was just badass for some reason.
It wasn't quite the same when you started off this video with your signature smack and "This is Alex, and I'm BACK with another reaction video" without the loud smack sound you usually throw in there! Haha, I don't know why but I love it when you do that! I hope you are doing well and staying safe with this crazy ass virus going around.
I only just was introduced to Thy Art Is Murder. I'm loving them! Have you ever listened to Aeternus? They're a black death metal band from Denmark. Kind of early Black Sabbath meets Thy Art Is Murder meets Gorgoroth.
@@narcissus79 No, I have not, but I'll give it a try, maybe I end up liking it ....thanks for the recommendation.... And yeap Thy art is murder is really a great band
Well, billy howerdel (bald guy, formerly tool's guitar tech) wrote the music for this album. APC is his baby, but when he played it for Maynard Maynard liked it so much he wanted to be a part of it and ended up writing the lyrics.
It's his venting frustration toward the relationship with his mother, Judith. She was wheelchair bound for a long time and never strayed from her faith, or questioned why something bad should happen to her, up to her end
FYI, Maynard isn't his real name...it was a nickname given to him when he was in the Army. James is his first name, Herbert his middle. As far as "super group," Billy Howerdel was Tool's guitar tech, but came to MJK and asked if he would listen to his songs and maybe sing on them. Josh Freese is a highly respected LA session drummer. The bassist you see in this video is Paz Lenchantin who has played with The Pixies and Queens of the Stone Age (and has also played violin on several APC tracks). James Iha (of Smashing Pumpkins) was also a guitarist in the group for a while. Just a little background if you were interested.
i love you guys! hope you all are out there staying safe and sound! don't shake hands!! wash them bitches.
Alex Hefner Please react to Reason to believe by arch enemy
Nothing More - Fade in/Fade out if you want something to punch you in the feels HARD. Stay safe out there brother. I love and appreciate you and your reactions.Also, tell your mom she's fucking awesome and we need to see more of her!
If you have some extra time during this pandemic, I would recommend checking out Sirenia. "The Other Side" and "Elusive Sun" are both great.
SINCE 2018 IM SUGGESTING SOAD MIND LYRICS VIDEO
DAMN
SINCE 2018 IM SUGGESTING SOAD MIND LYRICS VIDEO
That album of theirs "Mer De Noms" is their best work ever. You really should hear the whole album from start to finish. It's amazing.
I felt like he same way until I gave Eat the Elephant a few listens... I think its overtaken as their best, fuckin masterpiece
Agreed good sir
Not only their best album, but possibly one of the best albums ever made. At the very least an easy top 10.
Top 10 album of all time for me. Every single song is uniquely mesmerizing.
It syncs up well visually with the original animated Disney Alice In Wonderland.
Even after many years later and I still enjoy Paz putting her hair up during the breakdown and then picking right back up when her part begins again. You missed it man! One of my favorite moments in any music video.
I hate it! What a gimmick!
@@angiestrobel2240Cool, thanks for sharing that useful piece of information with us. We couldn't have gone on this day with out it.
@@angiestrobel2240 It may be a gimmick, but I still love it.
Let’s hear “A Perfect Circle “. Song: “ “The Noose”
Live at Red Rocks
Hell yeah! “The Noose” is my favorite APC song.
pet
Yes Indeed *THE NOOSE*
The Noose ❤️ one of my favs
Fun Fact: The video for Judith was directed by David Fincher, who also directed the movies Fight Club and Seven. Hence the grittiness of the video.
I'm really glad you reacted to this. It's one of my all time favourite songs. My mum died after an 8 year battle with cancer when I was 16. I went to a Catholic school and she was a devout Catholic right till the end (pilgrimages to Lourdes, the whole nine yards)
After she died I had a really difficult time with my faith and this song encapsulated how I felt. It means so much to me and I'm glad you appreciated it ❤️
Anything that requires apologetics to explain the meaning of something or how your own common sense tells you , is utter bullshit!
You have started it. Now you must listen to the Wings of Marie 1 and 2. It is required listening. It is almost a continuation of this song, but with Tool.
Alex: I don't know really how to describe this.
Maynard: Cheaper than therapy.
You should check out A Perfect Circle's songs "Passive" and "Pet."
pet is fucking amazing
Pet is total badass
Pet has always been one of my favorites! ❤️
Their 2nd album; "Thirteenth Step" is a masterpiece in it's entirety
Hell yes!! One of my favorites. 👍👊
Yes, one of the very few front to back albums made. Up there with Sublime self titled and even dark horse entries like Blast Tyrant.
Honestly so is Mers de Noms. eMotive has some good tracks too. Eat the elephant however is not that great
Imo A perfect circles best songs are
"Weak and Powerless"
"The Noose"
"3 Libras"
"The Hollow"
"Pet"
"The Doomed"
"Talk Talk"
"So long and thanks for all the fish"
Orestes? Blue?
You forgot: Orestes, By and Down, Vanishing,...
Wait. Am i the only one who thinks Rose is a masterpiece?
IMO all a perfect circle songs are best
Along with the above songs, no love for the outsider???
A perfect circle - Weak and Powerless, The Outsider, TalkTalk and So Long And Thanks For All The Fish
Yup
Blue and the nurse who loved me
React to Puscifer: Humbling River. It’s another one of Maynard’s bands
yes please... love their last album aswell.. the remedy, simultanuous, grand canyon and all the other great ones i'm not remembering right now
They are all good
@@stefanforrer2573 green river!!
Yes!!!!
please do this one!!!
This song really hits home to me. Same with 10,000 days part 1 and 2. It really reminds me of my girlfriend who died of cancer back in 2016. She was a beacon of light and hope for me and when I lost her, I lost everything. I lost what little faith I had and went into a self destructive depression. I'm forever thankful for Maynard for putting my pain and existential depression into words and music.
A perfect circle: 3 Libras!!!
I love that song!
Why? You tryna see me cry? Cause I will...
Goddamn Libras...
Love 3 libras.
Billy Howerdel was a close friend of Maynard, and Tool’s guitar tech for Adam Jones in the early days. Then he formed this band with Maynard in the early 2000s
Another cool one of theirs to look at would be The Outsider.
Personally, I find that to be their best song
THE LIVE VERSION....
7 SECOND SCREAM
Maynard in Outsider: I was a judgemental asshole about Lane Staley.
Great stuff.
One of the greatest rock songs ever made
Yes
Hell yeah, now you gotta hear "3 libras" by a perfect circle
Alex, Judith is part a many song story. The other parts are “Wings for Marie” parts 1 and 2, as well as all of 10,000 Days,( from the Tool album 10,000 Days) was dedicated to lead singer Maynard James Keenan’s mother Judith Marie Gridley.

I've seen both A Perfect Circle and TOOL in concert over the last year and both are incredible bands but really, really different. The TOOL concert was pretty standard, by TOOL's version of standard, metal show with the lights and projections and all the rest. A Perfect Circle though was one of the strangest concerts I've ever been to. They both super enforce the no phones and camera rule but APC goes farther. The stage was dark most of the concert. Maynard is in the back of the stage and you can hardly see him. Everyone is lit from underneath so you this shadow effect like the band isn't even really there. It was just wild. Two of the best concerts I've ever been to and I've seen hundreds of concerts.
Puscifer - Horizons Is Maynard returning his mother's ashes back to the earth...
Highly recommend wings for marie part1 and 2 as a unique video, you really need to listen to those
Maynard always is hiding in the back. He says it’s not about him.. but the music. Who cares what the stage looks like.. just listen to the genius’
Jimmy off Ænima is about his mother’s paralysis and is beautiful and angry.
Im not contributing to meaning of songs here but ive seen puscifer and tool in concert. I love all maynards bands but tool concert wasnt really for me. Puscifer was good though. The performance, lighting, breaks. It was quite enjoyable
For more A Perfect Circle you gotta check out their songs “Pet”, “Orestes” and “The Outsider”! Also, Maynard’s actually in 3 bands 😂 check out “The Remedy” by Puscifer as well if you feel so inclined! 🤘🏻
Orestes is one of my favorites
@@TheCerceYurai Super underrated track!!
I love pet!
Orestes is fantastic.
I also love Horizons by Puscifer.
I've heard this song probably a million times and never knew Judith was his Mom. Thanks for the attention to detail and effort to fully understand a song. It's dope.
Maynard's mother wasn't just a christian though. She was a christian scientist. Those people are nuts.
As I Lay Dying: Nothing Left. Then a follow up reaction of As I Lay Dying: The Sound of Truth. The videos go together and are amazing!
From one of the best metalcore albums of all time.
Goddamn Right!
Never give up!!!!
Alex keeps saying that these videos have been recommended in every video. I have been recommending this, word for word, for well over a year
Just react to these songs already
Oh man A Perfect Circle, yes! If you liked that then I also highly recommend Weak and Powerless as well as The Outsider! Both two underrated songs as well, imo!
Couldn't have said it better! The outsider is my favorite song by them.
The guitarist on the left now plays guitar in Queens of the Stone Age, who you should also check out!
Washed my hands about a million times today at work - damn virus!!! Love you too Alex - you better be staying safe too and slow down on them noodles or you gonna turn into one. LOL
Please do "The Doomed" by A Perfect Circle", It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Terry Wood I JUST COMMENTED THAT TOO! It was my first song I heard from them.
Love that one as well as Talk Talk, the meaning behind it is deep
Terry Wood Dude I love Doomed. I’m not a fan of a perfect circle but I love that song.
You should react to PET from A Perfect Circle. Also check out his third band Puscifer my favorite is Conditions of My Parole.
"Devil walked away from a bangin' trip to Mozambique."
Pet is definitely a must listen
Love that one!!
Super happy that you’re finally listening to A Perfect Circle! I hope you keep going down the APC Rabbit hole after this... so many great songs for you to do reactions for!
Definitely check out The Outsider by A Perfect Circle aswell, especially since you (atleast seemed) to love this one. Keep doing you my dude, love ya lots!
Alex: I love metalcore, because i love the harmony of screams and melody!
Also Alex: Hasn't reacted to bury tomorrow and fit for a king yet
every dude drools as paz gets that bun tied just in time to start chuggin' on the bass again
Please check out Fit For a King - "The Price of Agony" I won't give up!!!
Dont give up he will do it eventually!
I would be ecstatic if he did anything by FFaK! Just keep trying and don't give up Brotha!!
Awesome song man
Bro, your ass isn't a hip-hop head anymore. Quit it lol.
Ok its time. Disillusioned-A Perfect Circle
The evolution of Maynard from “Judith” to “Wings For Marie” is inspiring. I have a religious mother and I have made the same evolution in thinking. I just want my mother to be happy and if religion does that then so be it.
I really enjoy when someone “discovers” a band like APC. There are so many more songs I would recommend. Also like Tool, APC is even better live.
I discovered them a couple days ago and I am hooked
Lamb of God dropped their new single, Memento Mori.
That shit is fire🔥🔥 i heard it last night instantly melted my face off wasnt sure how it would be without chris but was pleasantly surprised
God that song is so fucking good
Actually Maynard James Keenan's in three bands tool, A perfect circle, and pussifer
James iha used to play with the smashing pumpkins :)
You should definitely check out “the noose” by A Perfect Circle. All about the struggle of rehab and holier than thou type people.
I love this band. I love pretty much everything MJK does.
Honestly a personal favorite of Perfect Circle is their cover of the song Imagine.
Alexisonfire: This Could Be Anywhere in the World
That really surfaced from the back of my brain, wow.
YES!
Yes, yes, YES!!!
APC: Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums!

You said the key word was "blind" in blind faith, but I wouldn't necessarily say faith is completely blind. We don't base our faith in Jesus without any evidence. We can base it on the testimony of those who came before us and SAW Jesus. Not blind. The gospels are eyewitness accounts. Jesus through the perspective of four different authors in totally different walks of life, who had access to the very witnesses who saw and walked along side Jesus. They wrote these books
during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses, which is important because if another eye witness
were to read one of these and something be off, they would have called them out on it, not
every eye witness would have been a follower of Christ. You see, the Gospels would have been
something that could have been easily falsified, but they never were.
Jesus disciples were killed for not denying that they SAW Jesus after his crucifixion. I think David Wood explains it well-
"How did a few
disciples of Jesus convince so many people to believe a man claiming to be God rose from the
dead. Just look at Jesus's disciples, all but one of them went to their bloody deaths claiming
they had seen Jesus risen from the dead. Most people's explanation for the origin of Christianity
is that the disciples made up a story so they could spread Jesus's message, but that
explanation doesn't make any sense. If you're willing to die for something, you obviously believe
it. When a terrorist blows himself up, no matter how wrong he truly is, he's obviously sincere
about his belief. So Jesus's apostles had to truly believe what they were dying for, which means
they were truly convinced they had SEEN Jesus risen from the dead. When most religions are
willing to lay down their lives for something, it's for an ideology they had heard from someone
else, and that ideology could be true or false. The disciples were dying for something they SAW.
What convinced so many people that they had seen a resurrected Jesus. You can probably
explain one or two of them away as being crazy, but all of them? You can think about it all you
want but there's no other explanation for why they all had that same level of confidence, even to
the point of death, than they actually saw Him. Which means if Jesus did what He said He
would do when He said He would rise from the grave on the third day, then you can believe
there's a better life to come when He said there is."
I think he said the the keyword was "blind" because he was talking about blind faith, not just faith; I certainly don't think he would disagree overmuch with anything you have to say here, he was more pointing out the dangers of faith without thought or consideration.
Tl;dr
JESUS!
Bleh...
I'm an apostate. I spent 21 years in the church. This is "the problem of suffering" condensed into a song. If god is good how could he let it happen? If god is all powerful he could have stopped it. If god is all knowing he could have designed it all to avoid this suffering. The god of the bible cannot be omni in all its traits and still allow for a universe such as ours to exist.
This song is the emotional cry of that philosophical position. Its brilliant.
I may be wrong but I think Billys biggest significance prior to APC is that he was the guitar tech for Tool
This type of song is what reaction videos were made for
So glad I got the approval of a man I've never heard of before to listen to a band I've been listening to since they came out.
every time I see Paz put her hair up in the middle of the song without missing a beat, i fall in love all over again
Maynard is actually in a third band as well, it's called Puscifer. Check out The Remedy, The Humbling River, and Potions.
Paz putting her hair into a ponytail just in time to continue rocking that Bass was fucking awesome!
Buddy of mine back in high school when this came out was in a band and they would cover this. They did a battle of the bands at a local school and they said they couldn't cuss. So he would scream "HUG YOUR DOG!"
Cody Evans 😂 that is hilarious
There’s very few musicians that can write a song that draws you in like this one does. Judith is #1 on my list for that very reason. It’s lyrically and musically GENIUS.
Drummer of a former band i was in met Maynard at a party before he was super famous. And apparently he his an arrogant rude person. Still love all his music. He even has his own winery now. Genius for sure.
Noodle Nose!!!!!! Haha haha!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME LOL EVERYDAY!!! 😃✌👍
"Think for your SELF. Question AUTHORITY!" - Maynard James Keenan Thats DAMN straight!!!
Everytime I see Paz put her hair up, I feel like Red from Shawshank redemption when he watches Rita Hayworth flip her hair back. So hot!
I LOVE THIS SONG !!!
It's to my understanding that Maynard's mom, Judith was confined to a wheelchair for 10,000 days; hence the Tool album "10,000 Days."
Mer de Noms as an album is a masterpiece. The mathematical precision on every note and depth of every song was incredible. It got me through pretty much every long paper I had to write in college.
James is his first name. Maynard is just a nickname. Also Billy Howerdel was Tool's guitar tech. He was the one who put APC together
Maynard's Mind = Tool, Maynard's Heart = A Perfect Circle, Maynard's Genitals = Puscifer
Tool - Jimmy, A Perfect Circle _ Judith , Tool - Patient, Tool Wings for Marie (pt 1) , Tool _ 10000 Days ( Wings for Marie pt 2) to get the whole story of how Maynard deals with his feelings about his mothers affliction suffering and death IMO
this video brings back memories. josh freese kills it on drums (ask your boy how hard it is to kick ass in 6/8 time) and the break where the bass player puts her hair up i always thought was just badass for some reason.
love when Paz puts her hair up and comes back just in time
It wasn't quite the same when you started off this video with your signature smack and "This is Alex, and I'm BACK with another reaction video" without the loud smack sound you usually throw in there! Haha, I don't know why but I love it when you do that! I hope you are doing well and staying safe with this crazy ass virus going around.
I like how the bass players, grabs her hair , like it's going down !!!
I love that the recent videos have been more reflective and have had more analysis and talking, keep it up Alex!
FINALLY!!! It's about time you did APC. They're freakin amazing. So much content here now that you've dived into this band.
Let's keep the intensity going on....
Wolfheart [The hunt]
Thy art is murder [reign of darkness]
Make them sufer [elegies]
I only just was introduced to Thy Art Is Murder. I'm loving them!
Have you ever listened to Aeternus? They're a black death metal band from Denmark. Kind of early Black Sabbath meets Thy Art Is Murder meets Gorgoroth.
@@narcissus79 No, I have not, but I'll give it a try, maybe I end up liking it ....thanks for the recommendation....
And yeap Thy art is murder is really a great band
Perfect Circle always felt to me like their lyrics were more "simple" and understandable then TOOL which can be a lesson in mythology sometimes lol
If you didn't know, this music video was directed by David Fincher who is best known for directing movies like Fight Club, Seven and Social Network.
Man, look up the live version of "Orestes". Live at Red Rocks. Song hits the spot.
Well, billy howerdel (bald guy, formerly tool's guitar tech) wrote the music for this album. APC is his baby, but when he played it for Maynard Maynard liked it so much he wanted to be a part of it and ended up writing the lyrics.
I haven't listened to APC in a while ,now I gotta binge listen to APC for the entire week.
It's his venting frustration toward the relationship with his mother, Judith. She was wheelchair bound for a long time and never strayed from her faith, or questioned why something bad should happen to her, up to her end
Saw these guys live in 2000, it was incredible. Maynard wore a tight pink speedo
That intro honestly was one of the best things I've ever seen 😂😂😂
Anger, Sadness, Love, Pure Energy!!!
FYI, Maynard isn't his real name...it was a nickname given to him when he was in the Army. James is his first name, Herbert his middle.
As far as "super group," Billy Howerdel was Tool's guitar tech, but came to MJK and asked if he would listen to his songs and maybe sing on them. Josh Freese is a highly respected LA session drummer. The bassist you see in this video is Paz Lenchantin who has played with The Pixies and Queens of the Stone Age (and has also played violin on several APC tracks). James Iha (of Smashing Pumpkins) was also a guitarist in the group for a while.
Just a little background if you were interested.
Wow. after that monologue at the end, I respect you even more than I did already. Much love
Your ending message in this is spot on! LIVE, AND LET LIVE!
This is one of my favorite rock songs ever. Glad you know it too now.
"you don't read into them, you are gonna miss the entire point of the song!" - whereas the other reactors go mostly "OMG THE CHICK PLAYS BASS!!!!"
i'm excitedddd a perfect circle is my all time fave band, happy you're reacting to them!!
