#APerfectCircle #Judith #Remastered
Got to kick it on the tour bus with Maynard last year. We drank bottled water, played with his dog, and talked about vineyards. Not what I expected.
Nothing quite like hydration and petting some puppies.
Now that'd be an experience. Lucky chap.
What kind of dog does he have !
You lucky groupie you.
Exactly how I'd imagine it.
The scene at 1:52 cements this as maybe the quintessential rock music video. The fade of the main guitar, the sexy bassist hair knot, Maynard's silent sip of water, the piercing high riff and of course the drummer who absolutely kills it.
I like to call it the "stretch moment" in between the first chorus and second verse in rock songs. It's that moment I feel the everyone can take a moment, stretch their arms, maybe neck, limber up, and just go in on the downbeat.
He's beating that drum set like it owes him money!
I agree. This was a defining moment in a brilliant performance - frankly hard to pin one down in such an astonishing video. For me the peak of of a great song by a great band. Sad that they disbanded but it just spread the joy - Tool, Pixies,. Not sure what Billy did afterwards - seems to have slipped out iff view but essential in this band. Love Maynard as a performer, but love Paz in every way!
The whole thing is just awesome on so many levels ❤
@@adopequeenatyrantkingaboss8057Josh Freese is a legend, check out everything he's done (over 300 albums he's drummed on)...
Credit to the videographer. He knew damn well the viewers wanted to see more of Paz, but if he filmed any more of her, people watching this video would completely forget the rest of the band even exists. She's incredible!
It's David Fincher, the director of Zodiac, Se7en, Fight Club, and Alien 3
My current focus is on the whole, not the human candy. The effects, feel, attitude, presence, ... Bolder, finer, than a quick spurt of adequacy of videoclip. This goes beyond music; it's a capsule of what it meant.
When she ties her hair back at break is probably the hottest moment of any video recorded.
Yes Paz totally rules! And you were right what you said, when she rolled her hair up she took the video there!!!
@@tomc6208 It was so captivating that nobody probably noticed Maynard taking a snort of vodka from his pretend water bottle
Damn! Maynard is such a vocal monster. And watching Paz tie her hair and then pull the pick out of her mouth and hit the next bass riff without missing a beat…is marvelous! What a great band. 👍
Yes, sisisi es supremo esa cordinacion. Excelent .
…Maynard?
She knotted up her hair females can multitask like that🌷👊
This video was the first time I had ever heard of Paz. The way she just leans back and rocks that bass is amazing. I always turn up the bass volume when I play this back. Would love to see her perform with A Perfect Circle again, though it may never happen. Paz fan for life!
Mmmm. Paz. Very compelling bassist. I have always been a fan.
Just found out today that she didn't play it on the record, though. But you can tell she's a great bassist. And that hair tying move is drool-inducing.
First time I saw her put her hair up in bun during a pause in playing I knew I had to marry her
I hope so much like you about Paz's return.
I have a serious lady crush going on
This song still gives me goosebumps after all these years. A true classic.
Same.
Bigtime!
What a song...
Billy is wicked
WICKED BRO
Mint
Mcbarry
Canadian Prepper likes APC?! Oh wow!
This song and '10 000 Days' are an evocative bookended peek into Keenan's relationship with his mother. He starts by excoriating her continuing faithful ways in the face of what he saw as divine betrayal. By the time of the latter song, his outlook changed considerably, even expressing a grudging respect for her toughness, tenacity and courage - qualities he noted were lacking in her fellow churchgoers.
Thanks for this. I look out for song meanings and even meanings being a bands musical themes.
Excellent point actually. Thanks!
This mirrors my fathers story and his death. These songs hit deep for me.
lol mommy issues the band, no wonder i love them so much,.
great analysis. i think this is all unintentionally capped by pneuma. the real shame about maynard is that he still hungers for christ and god, despite his anger towards what was done to his mother. gnosticism was where he fled to, his mind too hot to abandon the truth entirely, he sought that which perverted it instead. lateralus and pneuma are his clearest voice regarding dogma, as above so below, sun becoming, you can hear faith bursting from within Maynard, his sense of what is right is too powerful for him to ever ignore. I suspect we'll one day hear his true testimony, now that that old hot brand of hatred has finally cooled.
It's difficult to describe how I love this song.
This Album is a Masterpiece and 100% Underrated!
I've listened to this song hundreds of times and still am astonished how it still gives me goosebumps
That might be God telling you to stop listening. That happens to me with certain songs.
you and me both mark. But genius never ears out
@joshburns4611 - Nah that’s god saying to turn it up.
Back to this masterpiece after finding out that Josh Freese is the new drummer for Foo Fighters. 🤘🏻
Couldn’t be happier
Same, so happy that Josh is getting a major spotlight right now... He's been such an unknown badass for so many years. To the masses at least
same.
Freese is the perfect pick for Foo Fighters but Tim Alexander actually plays drums on this track
I will correct myself, Tim plays on The Hollow. My bad
22 years later and this song is still a jam!
Yesiree, that’s why am I back too, again ! 🤘🏼
Love rocking this and Tool in the gym
10/28/2022
Same here brother!!! Love the whole album!!
Holy shit... 22 years! I was a punk high-school kid at that time... man how life has grown with this song in it
When I dove deeper into music production and then listening to this again, I noticed so many little details that gave this song the edge to make it so freaking epic.
If you want a real head trip, listen to this and then 10,000 Days by Tool right after and stop to consider both songs are about the same person.
Seriously. First time seeing this video and I feel like I just listened to a different version than what’s on the album, because so many new little things jumped out at me!
Josh is such an anthemic drummer. It drives the song in a manner that puts the entire context of pain, hate, anger, and sadness in the best of way with no fancy tricks or gimmicks.
This song is such a jam and I love that Paz at 1:55-2:02 she ties her hair up. It’s such amazing bit and one of the coolest things I’ve seen from a bassist. And the vocals and the guitar are just straight badass along Paz bass
When I was younger, I think Paz tying her hair up like that while they played was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.
Still is mind you.
best scene of the clip.
Great song 👍
Paz tying her hair and coming back in JUST in time is as awesome as she is. But the understated hero here is Josh Freeze. 👍🏻
the guy Josh freeze from different bands on the recording he plays a lot of bands
reminds me of Maynard taking that dude down that got on stage with one hand, mic in the other, sitting on him, and never missed a beat...
Ookey doo key look at Paz tying up her hair!! I'm so gooshey dookey mezmerized!
Where are they ? I just now hearing this band and I saw they been ghost for 3 years
Maynards vocals are just simply amazing!!! I remember the first time I heard this song "judith" when I was a freshman in high-school. It left me "weak and powerless", and wanting more yes I listen to Tool and Puscifer as well. He is sooo talented, well all of the bands he's in are talented!! Would love to be hearing this again for the first time❤❤❤
I remember downloading this song on Napster when it first came out. Took 30 mins to download but i jammed out all night to it.
23 years later, still one of my favorite jams
I 've loved APC since I was a teen. Now I'm 34 and it's been some time since I've heard their albums. It's amazing how much more meaningful they are with more life experience.
This song is about Maynard James Keenan's mother, Judith Marie. Judith was paralyzed when Maynard was 11. She stayed paralyzed until she died 10,000 days later. (27 years) She kept faith in God the whole time. Maynard had quite the hard time accepting his mother's death, and her beliefs, which often conflicted with Maynard's
Kyle Whitaker no shit? I had no idea
Probably isn't news to the OP, but for those unfamiliar, check out Horizons by Pusifier; an unoffical "part 2" to this song which deals with Judith's death and MJK scattering her ashes...
She, also, was abusive to maynard
Hence, the Tool album 10,000 Days, and the songs Wings for Marie (Part 1) and 10,000 days( Wings part 2) about him dealing with his mother's death. and i feel Wings Part 2 is definitely one of the best Tool song.
Great to find this stuff out, gonna listen to those songs with fresh ears
An absolute masterpiece in vocals and sound that my ears love to hear ...
The song is a masterpiece and the music video is a masterpiece it's hard to not watch it over and over again
hell yeah mane easy days
Agree
@@eddieschultz3289your comment reminded me that I meant to look up who the director of this video and it turns out it's David Fincher - one of the greatest directors of all time so makes sense I guess 😂
If you've ever gone anything excruciatingly painful, be it physical, emotional or both, you've gone through the emotions that this song conveys. Pain, rage, doubt, hate, sorrow.
Still a legendary song
I can't love this song - and this video - enough. Rest in Peace Judith.
You can really feel what James went through with his mom in this song. It's so raw, not only in the lyrics but in the delivery. Really expressive and great music.
Nothing like as sad as what he went through but after I left home, my parents become hardcore fundamentalists. Our family had never been more then holiday Christians and virtual agnostics growing up so it really felt like my parents had been taken from me. They would hold 'prayer sessions' in the house where they would speak in tongues and perform 'deliverances' (lay exorcism) until 3am. This song helps me cope.
Love..no..real love and respect for those who meet in this life of pain we must all live
James prayed to God as a kid on behalf of his mother just a guess and the more time that passed and pain he seen his mother in and what he seen as unanswered prayers his hope waned and turned into rage and hate for his mothers God he gave up and she held fast to her faith it is sad so much emotion in his voice dude was is scared from his childhood of watching his mother die a little more everyday.. but he missed the lession his mother wanted to leave him with I feel she knew she was dying and she wanted to leave him with faith in something bigger than this world she wanted him to never feel alone that no matter what he could find hope in God?
Where can I learn about this.. his upbringing?
I've always related to this song... but I don't know the story behind it.
@@harryr2431 It's all in his book, but long story short, his mom had a brain aneurysm when James was a teenager, leaving her severely disabled, and he cared for her for many years. She died 27 years later, the Tool album 10,000 Days was dedicated to her, and this song is named for her. He also named the first wine he made "Judith".
Edit: his book is called A Perfect Union of Extraordinary Things, it's available in hard copy and ebook, a very interesting read.
November 2023.... 23 years later and this song is one of the best song ever written and one of my favorites ever!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Paz's hair tie will always live in infamy... and that song will always give me chills holy shit Maynard and company!!!!
One of the dopiest bands ever and to see them live - not only once but twice. Josh is a ninja on drums and Paz is sooo easy on the eyes. Can never go wrong with Maynard on vocals, Billy is a lyrical mastermind and Troy is one hell of a guitarist. Period.
This song never gets old. Love this group, keep the amazing music coming.
Such a great song. Absolutely phenomenal. Well done maynard. Great job APC ❤❤❤
I love Maynard 's voice. The song 3 Libra's really shows off his beautiful vocals
Yes, there are lots of rock vocalists with good voices, but Maynard’s is the only one I’ve ever heard whose voice is truly beautiful.
It great.
Sorry
Yes, 3 Libra's is probably one of my top favs.
It's my favorite track from them.
I just love Maynard James's voice❤
Great powerful drums and bassline, awesome voices, one of the best ever songs in my opinion
Amazing masterpiece love how unique it is much love ❤ rock on 🤘
Leaves me with chills every time since discovering this song in 2019, last year of high school!
Love how she puts her hair up real quick to get right back 😅❤❤
I still think Paz tying up her hair is among the coolest bits in a video
Bill Richards
I couldn't agree with you more brother
Female bassists, man. There's just something about them.
One of my favorite parts as well.
Bill Richards a favorite of mine as well
well said, devious
I like how the bassist ties her hair up and never misses the lick
Absolute masterpiece! 🌟👌
Excellent song, and Maynard James Keenan's book is an excellent read, I got it when it came out, and he talked some about this song!
Man I love me some Paz Lenchantin on bass !!!! I love how she puts her hair up to rock out and to cool her body temperature down 😃👍🏻
Wow, this video is incredible. It made me notice so many more little details and nuances of the song, despite having heard it many times before.
This might be a rare 'perfect' song. The vocals, the bass, the guitars, the drums, the lyrics, the soul of the song, the passion. Everything about it and how all of these things complement each other perfectly is absolute perfection.
I totally agree. The quality of the production is also amazing.
Likewise! From start to finish. Its tantalizing and intense (visuals are great too!)...one of those great songs that you can't help but soak in-its good energy.
So you're saying it's a perfect circle😉
So tight and well executed by everyone in the ensemble. Homogeneity.
You're much better than I am at this, Chiko!
Everything Maynard touches is typically, exceptionally good. Still loving this...
Still gives me goosebumps
What I love about this music video is how it consistently cuts between the band members instead of just focusing mostly on the lead singer.
This song is absolutely perfect
haha i get it
Still my favorite after all these years, No truer words. 🤍
Paz single handedly caused thousands of teenage metalheads to fall in love in one move.
And I thought I was the only one.
#truth
Single most sexiest and powerful moment in rock history.
Dude, reality. Like it was all for me. Me alone. A moment we weren't supposed to see. But, we did. Perfect.
This song I dedicated to my mother., also named Judith . May her soul Rest In Peace 😢
That's rather morbid given the song's sentiment...did you hold a grudge against her for hanging onto religion?
@@revaholic I don't think this song is expressing anything negative towards or about his mother. It's about the frustration he's feeling that she believes in something that, to him, is fruitless, and perhaps even responsible for what happened to her. His anger is at the entity she believes in, hence "Fuck your god, your Christ"
I have limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. I listen to this song whenever I'm feeling sorry for myself. The song makes me feel better because it lets me know I'm not the only one who feels this way
Thank you for sharing ❤ This song is cathartic af, absolutely. Hope you're doing alright today! 🤟☺🤘
@@JaseekaRawr I am, thank you!
You seems pretty strong to me bro !! Keep the spirit high 🙏
@@kasperrieberg3495 Thank you! I'll try to!
@@OCB_TV
I’m sure you will 🙏 Music is my getaway too from the though things in life
I remember listening to this song all the time with my dad in the car back in the early 2000s now I’m 31 still jamming it
It was an album that in my opinion, was perfect. Not even the best track, but that hold of Keenan... Magic.
This song has and will continue to age like fine wine.
Never ages. That vocal harmony towards the end. Just glorious. Track + video = win.
Itd wreck the radio if came out today. Kids would be scared but they need something like. This
It's so perfect it sends chills down my spine every time
I agree. Masterpiece
One of the best rock songs ive ever heard
Totally totally wicked!!! LOVE IT❤
Maynard James Keenan is a legend…everything he touches turns to gold
The bass playing is amazing
I will NEVER tire of Maynards vpice be it tool, a perfect circle, puscifer...my favorite vocalist of ALL time.
Great rock song. Maynard is so versatile and talented. The shot of the bassist tying her hair mid song is so badass
lol chill out bro it's not virtue signaling it just looked cool.
Devin Carter huh
Devin Carter
If you had any clue what that term meant, youd see the irony in your comment. Hur durr long hair equals woman.
Textbook strawman at the end too. Nice
Devin Carter man shuddup, it added to the visuals to the vid, the whole point of that part was to look cool. Learn your instruments before you try to act smart homie
Josh is such a good drummer man. I love his passion
I remember when this song was on the independent radio station all the time when it first came out in 99 and I’d blast the volume!
Maynard is the reason I was able to get out of the cult I was raised in. His music actually SAVED me
In what kind of cult were you in?
I love when people elaborate things
@@joshburns4611you don’t even know what cult he’s talking about at all
What cult were you involved with?
Remember the first airing of this music video on MTV and I was struck with awe. LOVE IT.
Masterpiece . Both albums classics.
It's almost ridiculous how good everything about this song and video is. Perfection that stands tall after all this time.
My favorite thing that David Fincher’s directed (and that’s saying a lot).
Twenty years later and still got to thank Maynard for the chills and goosebumps lol
Watching this for the first time on MTV was a hell of an experience, it was an sensory overload, it spirited you away for a while while blasting it full volume.
Long live APC!
One of the best Vocals!!!!!!!!
23 years of this masterpiece ❤
Maynard Keenan has the voice of an angel 😇
20 years of listening to this song and still get the chills every. fucking. time.
Ditto!!!!!
LOL, I do as well! every time! this song is about Maynard's Mother Judith.
Specifically 3:20 for me at least. lol
Same for me. 20 years...damn...
what is this 20 years you speak of 😁🤘
No mmn, esta canción es genial, desde que salió a la luz no dejo de sentirla hasta la médula. 12/2022.
THIS song is perfection. Period.
HUGE goose bumps when you see Paz step in with backup vocals. Just wow.
she fascinates me
Maynard has carried me through a mess of life experiences. Trite, I know, but also true.
Maynard este proyecto no puede ser alternativo. Soy más seguidor de este sonido y lirismo que de otros. Confío en que siga escuchando mi música más especial.
One of the all time greatest songs in my opinion.
Best band. Love Maynard he's genius at his craft- one of my favorite of all time
One of my all time favorites 😍
I sometimes reflect back to my teenager and earlier adult years in my many cars with this cd in trying to pitch match the vocals in this song while driving in the dead of night. Even though I was alone it was many of my fondest memories.
SO MUCH PASSION! THE POWERRRRRRRR!!!
The part where the bassist puts her hair up during that solo will forever be my favorite part of this video.
Dude. There's just this aura that Maynard gives off. Can't get enough of it. Not to mention his songwriting skill too.
A feather from the Metaphorical Angel of Death....
so beautiful. i wanna cry 😏😘
he didn't write these songs
not true.....So Billy wrote a song about MJK s mother LOL.....parts of the song were done BUT MJK CAME N AND FINISHED IT and made it a lot heavier .
A touch of narcissism too. But that only helps.
OMG. Amazing sound! ♥
Simplemente la mejor canción de rock de todos los tiempos. Es un patrimonio de la humanidad. En serio.
Saw this vid 20+ years back, now in HD, brings back lots of memories. The video aged really well.
Directed by Dave Fincher.....so obviously it's gonna age like fine wine
I can't listen to this song without air drumming...literally every time. ❤
What an amazing song!!
Maynard is so lucky to play with drummers like Josh Freese and Danny Carey. The drums in this song are incredible. The fills literally send chills up my spine.
ya boi E josh and danny are lucky not maynard MAYNARD IS FUCKING GOD....
ya boi E too bad songs like Ænema, forty six & 2, the pot, right in two, sober, and the rest of the tool songs won't be played live, unless maynard plays a tool song live with () live, then it just wont be played by Danny Carey
The guitarist is killing it. And I agree with the drums
PREACH
Are we listening to the same song?
Kudos to the film makers. Well done video, which complimented the other players in the band. I will definately listen to more of this band. I like music, but I just can't get into music from Tool, so this is a start.
gran disco, de lo mejor que he escuchado
The last " I did it all for you" is my favorite to sing to..Love it
There are MANY perfect songs. This is one of them. Perfection.
