These guys are amazing. How I managed to miss Failure while I was literally living, breathing and dreaming Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Mudhoney etc is beyond me. Oh well, new music is new music, even if it's old music (does that make sense?). :)
Pulls on my heart, I'm almost unable to stand the intensity and emotion I feel during my listens. A calm, violating type of feel. Beautifully disturbing. Mastery in quieting intensity. I learn from this very much. 💔😪🙏
I'd like to throw out there that Failure was not just Ken Andrews. In fact Greg Edwards the bass player wrote this song. Greg was pretty brilliant so I'm giving credit where credit is due on this one!
Just had to leave a comment from 12 years in the future - I just saw your comment and went and watched the film and it was awesome! Thank you for introducing me to it. Also I noticed the part five minutes in where they put the collar on the Om and the machine makes the sound from the beginning of Another Space Song. That was awesome. Thanks again if you see this :)
Guys, it's music, not a competition. People are going to have different opinions, it isn't a fact as far as which one is better. So just sit back, stop arguing, and enjoy the music.
listen guys, IMHO, I think BOTH bands did the song justice. Kudos for Failure for actually writing it and kudos for APC for giving it their own "spin" while still staying true to the spirit of the song. Can't we all just get along?
I want to thank joemc83 for uploading this concert.Failure, unfortunately, is an underestimated and forgotten band (at least in spain). This is an incredible song from an incredible album from an incredible band...For all the people who thought that this was a cover, congratulations, you have a good band to discover.
I am eternally fortunate that I was able to experience this song, live, in 2007, by Ken, First Wave Hello, and Charlotte Martin, as an encore. A magical end to a magical night.
i found out about them by accident on my never ending search for 90's music. has turned into my favorite 90's band of all time by far. listen to them daily and never get tired of it, cant explain it. you are so lucky to have been able to see them perform live. i discovered them way to late
good to see failure's music spreading through generations most of my friends thought they were strange or just didn't get them when I listened to them i bought fantastic planet 3 months after it's release and have seen them live 4 times i have been following ken and greg's careers ever since one of the most underrated bands
a cover is an homage, a tip of the hat from one artist to another. It's a great song...that's why maynard and a perect circle chose to cover it. It's about respect
Both versions are amazing, the first time I heard this song I was sitting on the fire escape on the 11th floor of a Chicago hotel an midnight, there is no other thing like that feeling.
This is one of the best songs ever written. Thank you to Failure for writing it! I heard Maynard sing it first, but this original version is amazing. What the hell is wrong with that crowd, though, how can they not move? They are entirely too subdued.
You know some people at this bar are just eating pulled pork sandwiches and not realizing how epic of a show is going on in front of them. Nice video @joemc83!
Members of Tool and Failure were friends early on and helped each other out. Members of both bands did a side project called Replicants. Ken Andrews directed Tool's first video for Hush from Opiate. I was lucky enough to discover Failure early on and even saw them in concert on the Fantastic Planet tour. A good deal of Failure's lyrics center around addiction and Planet is about either Andrews or Edwards' fight with heroin (can't remember which one think it's Edwards). Very talented band!
Unfortunately(or fortunately) that's how I heard about these guys(from APC), but after I bought Fantastic Planet, I couldn't believe how these guys had been overlooked! Thanks joemc83!
Awesome vid. Seems to be a lot of APC talk in the comments. APC did a good version of this song. I like this one better. I recomend the Failure DVD. Has some really good footage of them recording with Steve Albini.
Kudos to Maynerd for covering this song. But then again Maynerd and the boys were big fans of failure. Fantastic was one of the landmark albums from back in the day, up there with OK computer in its own way. For those of you who keep saying that APC's version is better, Maynerd would bitchsmack you. Its a complete reinterpretation of the song, has a different tempo and everything. Personally i prefer Failure's version (and I'm a tool/apc fan) but I won't say either one is better.
Awesome. Of course I didn't get Fantastic Planet until after I'd heard the cover on Thirteenth Step. =P I definitely agree with all the 'most underrated band of the 90's' comments. Only heard about these guys browsing through an old version of Rhapsody. Stumbled across their 'Enjoy the Silence' cover. Instantly hooked.
If you liked APC's cover of this song, you'd probably like alot of failure stuff. Check out the songs 'Screen Man', 'Dirty Blue Balloons', similar kinda music. They also have some poppier sounding ones like "Leo" and "Smoking Umbrellas", which are all fucking good songs. This band is way unknown for all their talent... extremely technical understanding of music.
I saw Failure open for Tool in 1994. What a show. I caught and still have a demo cassette that Failure threw into the crowd. It has four songs "from the upcoming album Magnified". I think it's great that people are discovering Failure through APC. I tend to prefer covers done by my "A" list bands but this is one case where I prefer the orginal.
Thanks for posting these. Failure was a good band. This was a fantastic album :) As with all this APC talk, it was a good cover - if you've seen APC live, then you'd know they stick closer to the original version.
i got to see APC w/ year of the rabbit opening and when APC did this song they started it like their version and then Ken came out did the song with Maynard and kicked it into this version. it was fricken awesome.
When FP came out I was beating it to death, along with an album called "Siesta" by a band called Peach that was contemporary to Failure at the time. Both are very similar in tone, song structure, etc. Both also obscure and overlooked, but freakin' great. If you liked one album you should dig the other, so for those lamenting the lack of Failure material since FP, maybe you can try hunting that one down, it's pretty similar and IMO very good.
fucking excellent, this is the version that should be on the apc album, the album version is just strange, i guess that's what they were going for, but this is 10 times as good, literally. and when apc does it live they do this version, and its excellent
considering that the APC version is a vast departure in style you can't compare the two fairly at all. It's an awesome song no matter how it is performed, and which version you like better is just going to depend on whether you prefer alt rock type stuff or mellow orchestral-ish type stuff.
omg, words can't describe how awesome this song is. but i SUCK... i was living in Houston at the time... & what's my excuse for not seeing them? oh, simple, I never HEARD of them until 2001 :-P damn, radio sucks... btw, if you like this song, the song "Great Days for the Passenger Element" by Autolux (w/ one of the members of Failure) is VERRRRRY reminiscent, check it out!!!!
this is actually the first time i can recall hearin the original,apc turned me on,an i knew from the rip it was a cover. even saw the singer with apc. they are both pretty different.i couldn't make a fair call as to what i like better, i rewrote it as a solo acoustic piece that i dig. i'm fixin to load it,
"like that interpretation, that the nurse is a metaphor for heroin" We have a winner!!! This is one of the most important recordings of the 90"s... every bit as big as nirvana, imho
+chefscott67 When you click the clip for Failure's Reunion show (Multicam at the El Rey 2014), there should be another suggested video revealing a -97? full performance in this very bar. Not in the greatest quality, but VHS can only hold so well after all these years...
One of the best bands you've never heard.
New album in 2021 is soooo good.
100% no disrespect to a perfect circle but once youve heard this version you can never go back.
im glad i discovered this song
Agreed
@@Hashpotatonothing beats an original. APC is great though, hopefully it drew attention to Failure that they deserve.
one of the most underrated bands of the 90s. whoever uploaded this needs a fucking medal.
These guys are amazing. How I managed to miss Failure while I was literally living, breathing and dreaming Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Mudhoney etc is beyond me.
Oh well, new music is new music, even if it's old music (does that make sense?). :)
Same bro...
I love you
@@swivel9810 heyyy can't believe ppl still listening to failure ☹️
Maynard James Keenan is a HUGE fan of Failure; he has stated so publicly
APC's cover is a homage to the band.
I also think that might be troy from apc and qotsa on guitar here
@@Lokeacola It is. He toured with them again in 2015. It was awesome :)
I am still watching this in 2014! I love this video! I can't believe it's still up. And your right to whoever uploaded this video deserves a medal!
watching it right now in 2018 for first time :)
So much better than the APC cover! And, I am a big Maynard fan!! ❤👌
Well, 2019 now.
2021 baby
2021 here!
Pulls on my heart, I'm almost unable to stand the intensity and emotion I feel during my listens. A calm, violating type of feel. Beautifully disturbing. Mastery in quieting intensity. I learn from this very much. 💔😪🙏

i hope that everybody that likes this album has seen the old film "Fantastic Planet". Both are awesome

Failure and Hum, two of the best bands of the 90s
17 years ago! This was the first video ever uploaded to UA-cam
Thank you for posting this

thank u for posting this
What a gem. This song is a fucking classic, in my eyes. FUCK YES
I love Failure, i didn't even know APC covered this song. i must be still living in the 90's when music was still relevant
I am eternally fortunate that I was able to experience this song, live, in 2007, by Ken, First Wave Hello, and Charlotte Martin, as an encore. A magical end to a magical night.

taylor york and hayley williams introduced me to failure and i'm so happy they did
GREAT song brings back some high school memories These guys kicked ass!!!!
2018 and im still in love with Failure Fantastic Planet
good to see failure's music spreading through generations most of my friends thought they were strange or just didn't get them when I listened to them i bought fantastic planet 3 months after it's release and have seen them live 4 times i have been following ken and greg's careers ever since one of the most underrated bands
a all-time song
just beautiful
i have found Failure,from this covered song from APC
thanks for this piece of art
cheers from Chile!
This is one hell of a song. Thanx APC for letting me know about this song.
a cover is an homage, a tip of the hat from one artist to another. It's a great song...that's why maynard and a perect circle chose to cover it.
It's about respect
they performed in houston! i go to the urban art alll the time. really good place for fresh talent to get their name out there! love it ^_^
Both versions are amazing, the first time I heard this song I was sitting on the fire escape on the 11th floor of a Chicago hotel an midnight, there is no other thing like that feeling.
Failure is awesome, very neglected! Great droning chords, spacy rock, melodies.
ok, so i heard the apc version first.. and i've got to say, i love this one wayy better :) his voice is awesome. so thanks apc :)
I think it's awesome that someone from Failure is getting recognition. TVL rocks the guitar and bass.
I had another listen to it and you know I think you're absolutely correct. I'll have to file that one in my personal Mondegreen list. Awesome!
This is one of the best songs ever written. Thank you to Failure for writing it! I heard Maynard sing it first, but this original version is amazing. What the hell is wrong with that crowd, though, how can they not move? They are entirely too subdued.

great job here! really good! I'm very surprised!!!!!!!
keep the great job up!!

this song is a masterpiece

This is such a great song!
I saw these guys around this time with local h at the troc in Philly that I remember that drummer beat the shit out if those drums
This is awesome! Thank you for uploading! I love this band and live videos online seem to be quite rare. Thanks!
Woah, this is much better than A Perfect Circle's version, and I happen to be a huge fan. Never heard of these guys before, but I WILL check em out
suuuch a beautiful song... thanks so much for posting!
first time i've actually heard the original after so many years. it's amazing. i like them both.
Good shit man. Thank you for this.
Awesome vid. Seems to be a lot of APC talk in the comments. APC did a good version of this song. I like this one better. I recomend the Failure DVD. Has some really good footage of them recording with Steve Albini.
all these bands are the best music you ever heard in the 90's in texas
and in the 2020s!!!
Kudos to Maynerd for covering this song. But then again Maynerd and the boys were big fans of failure.

thanks for this!
g'damn i forgot how good Failure was...
same here, just found this band yesterday, currently mesmerized.
i cry every time i here this. It's mind blowing.
Doing an acoustic version of this for my college recital this Wednesday :) can't wait, I'll upload my performance (hopefully) :)
Awesome. Of course I didn't get Fantastic Planet until after I'd heard the cover on Thirteenth Step. =P I definitely agree with all the 'most underrated band of the 90's' comments. Only heard about these guys browsing through an old version of Rhapsody. Stumbled across their 'Enjoy the Silence' cover. Instantly hooked.
'Fantastic Planet' is their most known album
its really awesome ^_^
If you liked APC's cover of this song, you'd probably like alot of failure stuff. Check out the songs 'Screen Man', 'Dirty Blue Balloons', similar kinda music. They also have some poppier sounding ones like "Leo" and "Smoking Umbrellas", which are all fucking good songs. This band is way unknown for all their talent... extremely technical understanding of music.
i would never have found this band if it wasnt for apc's cover, and this version is WAY bet imo.
Ow do ya know this band didn't find you?
fucking awsome
She's fallin hard. For me..
I saw Failure open for Tool in 1994. What a show. I caught and still have a demo cassette that Failure threw into the crowd. It has four songs "from the upcoming album Magnified". I think it's great that people are discovering Failure through APC. I tend to prefer covers done by my "A" list bands but this is one case where I prefer the orginal.
I fucking love this.

Failure was a good band. This was a fantastic album :)
As with all this APC talk, it was a good cover - if you've seen APC live, then you'd know they stick closer to the original version.
💘💘💘
Say hello
to all the apples on the ground.
They were once in your eyes
but you sneezed them out while sleeping.
thx men, just convinced me to get their music. this exactly thing happen to me with the biggest bands.
Such a genius song.
never take this down
Awesome! Let me know when it's done. =D
this song is the themesong to my drug riddled youth glad im just back with good ole mary jane no nurse needed
Hell ya they performed at Houston in this video!! XD
uff what a song, amazing
i got to see APC w/ year of the rabbit opening and when APC did this song they started it like their version and then Ken came out did the song with Maynard and kicked it into this version.
it was fricken awesome.
When FP came out I was beating it to death, along with an album called "Siesta" by a band called Peach that was contemporary to Failure at the time.

If you liked one album you should dig the other, so for those lamenting the lack of Failure material since FP, maybe you can try hunting that one down, it's pretty similar and IMO very good.
Awesome. Loved these guys! Sucks to see the playing such a small place.
many thanx joec83!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that this is better than A Perfect Circle's version, it has more of a eery feel which fits better I think.
prob my favourite song of the grunge era. unreal
FAILURE MAN THEIR GREAT MAN IM TELLING YA!.me too i wouldnt know this if it wasnt for tool
wow, didn't know it's not an APC song, both versions are great !
man, they were great.
yes tool covered this failure song. both versions are beautiful.
fucking excellent, this is the version that should be on the apc album, the album version is just strange, i guess that's what they were going for, but this is 10 times as good, literally. and when apc does it live they do this version, and its excellent
I can't decide if I like this version or the Perfect Circle cover more. They're both so good, and SO different.
I'm going to sound like such an idiot, who are apc?
I love Failure so insanely much, I wish I got to see them live before they broke up.
interesting to see greg edwards' duct taping going back to his days in failure.
considering that the APC version is a vast departure in style you can't compare the two fairly at all. It's an awesome song no matter how it is performed, and which version you like better is just going to depend on whether you prefer alt rock type stuff or mellow orchestral-ish type stuff.
Damn! Really funny to see a cover from apc's song! and it sound really good :D Sweet sound in it and i love his voice :D
omg, words can't describe how awesome this song is. but i SUCK... i was living in Houston at the time... & what's my excuse for not seeing them? oh, simple, I never HEARD of them until 2001 :-P damn, radio sucks...

It's actually Ken Andrews singing. Greg Edwards is the bass player/songwriter along with Ken.
I wish i could have been there because i live in houston, Tx! Where GRAET BANDZ ARE MADE!!! LOOK AT BLUE OCTOBER BIITCCHZ
Is there any way to get a hold of this show?
"like that interpretation, that the nurse is a metaphor for heroin"
We have a winner!!! This is one of the most important recordings of the 90"s... every bit as big as nirvana, imho
cool heavy version!
def up there with kurt, layne... this music is the best
Where can we get the higher quality versions of this set at Urban Art?
@Novaromamusic Did not know that, cheers for the info broseph :)
fuuuuuuck, i'm speechless....
how come all the best bands get noticed by the masses after they break up? fuuuuck!
+chefscott67 When you click the clip for Failure's Reunion show (Multicam at the El Rey 2014), there should be another suggested video revealing a -97? full performance in this very bar.
Not in the greatest quality, but VHS can only hold so well after all these years...
Rock n roller song =D i love it whn im skatin =D
i agree, very good song!
i like it when he sings:
but u sneesed them out while sleeping.
