A whole generation fell in love with Paz when she put her hair up.
Paz, Melissa Auf der Maur..D'arcy all insane bassists!
@@thanospat6400 White Zombie's Sean Yseult killed it, too.
Truth, I remember watching this video as a teen and swooned as soon as she did that. 20 years later still makes me swoon haha.
I wonder if she knows how legendary that 3 seconds is.
I'll agree with paz and Melissa but Darcy was average and easily the weak link to my favorite band at the time. Female rock musician seems to be the common fascination
Maynard's mother suffered a stroke in 1976 that left her paralyzed and wheelchair bound until she died 27 years later, or 10,000 days. He wrote this out of anger due to members of his mother's church saying her stroke was due as punishment for her sins, when he knew she had been a devout, god fearing christian her whole life, both before and after her stroke. On the Tool album 10,000 days you should check out the songs Wings for Marie (Pt 1) and 10,000 Days (Wings, Part 2), for further songs about Maynard's mother.
THIS!!!!!! ☝️
Holy shit is this true? I thought the song was about Judas.
@@fromlostdays863 yes it's true. Listen to the whole series of songs. Wings for Marie is so emotional
@@michm2552 Definitely going to do that. I'm a fan I've heard every Tool and APC song that exists. But I'll be going back to experience it through a different lens for sure.
Can confirm, this is a perfect explanation.
Said it a hundred times. Paz putting her hair up mid -song is the most metal thing I've ever seen.
(I know it's edited. Shut up🤘🏽!)
It is a PANTERA-level metal move. My favorite part of that video is Paz in perfect time puts the hair up and back to jamming💯👊
Brad: "Have you been listening to the words?"
Lex (happily): "Absolutely not!"
Lol.
dude literally doesn't know how to listen to a song and it's his job lol
Reading the lyrics is one thing Knowing the lyrics while hearing his emotional cry is another. True, heart driven songs are usually the best IMO
Love the look on Brad's face when Lex want's to listen to it again w/ a lyric video. LOL
I'm starting to become convinced that he hates music. He should probably just let her do the channel alone.
@@elbruces so true he seems like he hates literally every song I watch them review he just is negative af
Looks like he's taking a 💩, while he belittles sweet Lex …again. (As Bruce Lee would say, "She's the one with the good brain"). 😻
Maynard is not criticizing all of Christianity. He said this about the song on the aMOTION DVD commentary for the video: "The song is called 'Judith', which is my mother's name. She was paralyzed very early on from an aneurysm and it just strengthened her faith, which is fine, because she didn't really have anything other than her faith. But the people around her, marching in like ghouls to tell her how strong in her faith she is and then going home and talking behind her back. It's just amazing the hypocrisy that went on."
Exactly Jeffery, wish more people would just listen to the lyrics. Even the son briefly questioned god at one point.
And as a staunch Christian, I relate to this bullshit way too fucking much. Its so accurate to the evilness of the church vs. God. And often is why ppl run from christ instead of from Christians who act like their shit don't stink. I grew up in a family exactly like this. I was sex trafficked at 3 for most of my childhood and yet they blamed me for everything, despite knowing the truth. Crazy. I ran from church. I ran from Christians. But never from God/christ.
@@Michael-on4ti
My very religious Grandmother (R.I.P.) read the lyrics to this song and thought it was the worst thing she ever read in her life. 😂
I have to admit that as a practicing Christian I had a really hard time with this song till my friend forced me to listen to the aMOTION DVD. And, what Maynard was saying felt like he was reading from my diary (if I actually kept one).
Exactly. People’s interpretation of the word fails other humans, not his actual promise. People are allowed to be pissed at manipulating the word by other humans.
Lex knows what’s up! I love this song, too!
Such a heart wrenching song..
The Outsider, Passive and 3 Libras are other songs from them that are Fire!
YES THE OUTSIDER!!! That's my favorite! Then PET.
Yes to all these and also the Noose
"Wings for Marie - 10,000 Day's" are great songs about this same subject. Maynard's mom was paralyzed for 10,000 days before passing away. Never wavered in her faith.
Maynard mom was a really devoted Christian all her life and she died that way. In this song Maynard expresses how he feels about that and can’t understand why his mother still has such a strong faith. You should now that you reacted to this, do the continuation of this physical tragedy but spiritual win of his mother, react to the songs wings for Marie (part 1 and 2) also called 10000 days. It’s just an amazing masterpiece. Would love to see you reacting to these lyrics. I know you’ll like it.
I did not know this was about Maynard's mom !
I get this song so much more now
If Jesus Christ rewards faith with healing then why " Maynard is saying do you Jesus Chrust / God neglect my mother, All powerful , and leave her here . Is he saying ? Mom, I don't understand how you keep putting faith in without the proper response given if healing.
I've heard this.
I've felt abuse.
Heard my siblings cry, where is the retribution and don't say " God "
I'm glad I ran across the back story to this song. I understand more.
I see my cry within it but now I fully understand Maynard's cry.
Wow..🧝♀️
His step mother & father were teachers in Michigan. They both were my wife’s teachers.
Jimmy belongs in this group of songs too.
No, it's not about her dying even though she was Christian!!! That would be dumb; everybody dies lol!? It's her condition (paralysis?) that she lived with and still praised Jesus. It's speaking to that guilt trip that organized religion puts people on...about their feeling like they somehow _deserve_ their suffering even though they'd done nothing extraordinarily "bad."
@@Egoblivion i mean she died being a Christian not that this song about her dying. That’s why I said to continue the story with the other songs. But yeah not, it was about her paralysis and the suffering and how Maynard couldn’t understand her mother’s faith.
So hard to imagine living this long without this song in my life. Not that I would have dropped dead or anything like that, but still this song has always been in my life. Great stuff!!!
i love everything about this song: the complex rhythms, the slide, the vocals, instrumentation ESPECIALLY the bassist tying up her hair during a break & never missing a beat. SO HOT! this is a MASTERPIECE!
Lex "let's pull up a lyric video"
Brad "no, I'm good"
Rest of us "No Brad, you're not."
Came here to say this! You could see in her eyes this song planted a seed and a new found interest was budding… Brad just shit all over it and killed the vibe.
@@SVTL4799 he always looks like he's sitting in someone else's fart 😆
He's always holding Lex back. She needs to start doing solo reactions for all rock/metal/grunge etc... and only do reactions together for rap/hip hop. He only seems to understand simplicity.
It was his honest reaction, don’t put that on him
Fuckin Haters-Would love to see Lex Solo tho, but no reason to give Brad Hate-She is smokin hott Jesus
This video was directed by David Fincher, famous for the movies like "Se7en" and "Fight club". He even wanted Maynard to star in "Panic room", but Maynard declined.
“His voice is an instrument “ is the most real thang EVER said
A Perfect Circle were my first live-music experience.
Can confirm: Maynard can hold those notes.
This is my favorite a perfect circle song. Try The outsider, Pet, or Weak and Powerless. Please
The outsider and Pet are 2 of my fave songs from APC. But 3 Libras are mine and my fiance's "song". I don't really see the purpose in couples having "their songs" but he seemed it "ours". 9½ yrs later, he still loves to play it for me. Thinks it would be a good song for our "first dance" at our wedding, too.
five magics (only original)
ashes in your mouth
take no prisones
MEGADETH!!! trust me guys ❤️😎
Master Piece
I agree that it's fucking awesome but I don't really see them enjoying it that much
I don't think they're ready
Great vid. More Tool, Perfect Circle and Puscifer please 🙏🏼. Love your reactions and those 3 Maynard bands are killer, both musically and lyrically. Peace ✌🏼
Paz put up her hair and a star was born!!! hell yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear our generation had the best rock early 2000s 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite track from this album is Orestes. Maynards awesome singing voice shines.
I’m glad you checked them out. A Perfect Circle is amazing. Saw them play this live in 2000 when they did a concert with NIN. It was such a great concert.
I'm not envious of you at all, Wish they had toured the UK together, or NIN and Bowie in 94 or 95
This is one of the very few times I think it's good to watch the actual music video for a reaction video. It's so simple and so perfect for this song. It's too bad that was missed in the reaction.
Love when Paz puts her hair up in the bass line break, so cool.
Same. I wait for that little part every time I see this video 😁
"10,000 days in the fire is long enouoooogh!" Now you need to do Wings for Mar 1 n 2. Such a deep, dark and powerful creation. Maynards's mom was "in the fire
I like how you guys explore all music, even from my days in high school days with MTV on after school everyday.
Maynard is an amazing and very diverse artist. Everything project he does he keeps separate from the others
"Jimmy" by Tool is the first song in the Judith Trilogy. This song was second and "Wings Pt 1 and 2" are the third. Do Wings last.
If you include Jimmy in the saga, there are four parts. Wings 1 and 2 are two different songs, but most reactors listen to them together now. Timeline without adding Pucifer into the fray would be something like:
Tool - Jimmy
APC - Judith
Tool - Wings for Marie
Tool - 10,000 Days (Wings for Marie pt 2)
I don't think you include Jambi into this story since you could put anyone you've lost in that spot. These others actually tell the story of Maynard and his mother. But music is art and art is to be interpreted by the individual so anything Maynard sings you could relate if you were that zealous.
You missed 10000 days my guy
@@Dyrtbag68Jimmy Def kicks off the "Judith Songs." I thought Jambi is about Maynard's son, I could be wrong
@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head I concur, fun little ditty but it's the Jimmy riff so I always listen to them together
Cold & ugly then Jimmy...I've always thought that song was the beginning of his process.
You guys should try their song Orestes or When the levee breaks. Both songs are live at Red Rock. Same concert. Both songs are amazing and you can really hear just how good Maynards voice really is.👍
And 3 libras
Tool and APC have done seven total Led Zeppelin songs live👀💯
Paz hair up is iconic. Also I love your Papa Legba shirt. Love your channel, thank you very much.
Maynard's voice can sommon spirits good an bad that man has a gift
A perfect circle has a lot of chill vibin music. Rock on yall 🤘 🤪
One of their best songs is called 3 Libras. It is very soft but very moving.
This song is beautiful,sad and scary. But mostly awesome
Big Chavelle fan for a long time...this was awesome to watch. Nailed it.
This was on the radio ALL THE TIME.
The lyrics are interesting. His mom was a faithful person and suffered a stroke. She never stopped believing. Maynard, however, has a different view. He has a Vinyard in Arizona. He spread some of his moms ashes on a certain part of it and called the wine from his Vinyard "Judith"
They literally say this in the video
For 27 years his mother was wheelchair bound before her death.
@@CoboProdz Ok and he’s explaining it to lex and Brad since they don’t know the meaning behind the song
Maynard’s view in this song was all about calling about the hypocrites in her church, not his mother believing.
the whole thing is retarded. acting like god MADE someone have a stroke. u could maybe be mad about god not healing her, but to blame god for things going wring in life is dumb. I just got a speeding ticket, thanks god!
“It’s not like you killed someone, it’s not like you drove a hateful spear into his side.”That’s in reference to Jesus when he was hung on the stake. A Roman soldier stabbed Jesus on his side to make sure he was dead.
Mer de Noms absolutely SLAYS!! It's APC's debut album and it's glorious front to back!! I Love when in the video Paz has that short space in the song and buns her hair real quick like a boss! This is another song about his mother Judith Marie. *You guys MUST react to Wings For Marie(Pt 1) and 10,000 Days(Wings Pt 2).* Best song in Tool's catalog imo. So personal and vulnerable for Maynard, he won't play it live anymore(and hasn't for sometime )because it's so emotionally draining for him. I was so blessed to have witnessed it twice and you could literally hear a pin drop, the crowd was so focused on its beauty. We instinctively knew Maynard was pouring his heart out to us and we gave him all the space and time to do it respectively. It's Epic!! *_Lyrics are a must to give it the respect it deserves and encapsulate all of its emotion_* It's incredibly personal to MJK
Maynard had some strong pipes back then. This was early 2000's.
I've wanted to go to one of his concerts for so many years! My brother in law got tickets for one up in I think Detroit that was in an opera house or something with a symphony. I wanted to go so bad, but he decided to take his brother (who I grew up with and we have a love/hate relationship) that he on and off wanted nothing to do with for most of his teen yrs and adulthood cause of his drug problem. I mean, my brother in law would even just show up last minute to pick me up from school unexpectedly, but never either of his brothers. (My brother grew up with his other brother. They didn't necessarily like eachother but never to the point of bullying. My brother even got in trouble for pranking him one time by blowing up a 6ft tall inflatable penis from my sister's bachelorette party and put it in his car...caught on camera putting it in his car at school, of course, but he blew it up at lunch and not a word from the adults ..just laughter.) So he chose to take his brother despite not wanting anything to do with him most of the time rather than me, and I even offered to pay for the ticket he had already gotten, we got along great and were pretty close. A lot of mutual respect.
I cut ties with my sister several yrs ago and don't like to call her my sister, but don't know what else to call her. They're divorced now, which is the best for him. My ex husband is best friends with him so I still see him and hear about him on occasion. I told my ex I'm fine with our son being around him and having a close relationship with him, but that he better never take him around my sister...which I don't believe he will with what went down between her and my bro in law.
Such a banger! Once again loved your reaction. Keep on being awesome u guys
when you know what he's saying it's clear as day. when you don't know what he's saying if you don't look up the lyrics it can take years of listening to come close to fully grasping one of his songs. his voice is an instrument.
I frickin love maynard! I thought he brought a fresh and much needed take on rock and metal at that time periode. Of course me being a bass player this line and tone just kills.
Five songs that are based in thoughts and remembrance of Maynard's mother Judith Marie.
1. Jimmy
2. Wings for Marie
3.10,000 days
4. Judith
5.Jambi
I cant make out my comment....... it is what it is
thank you Lex for as always putting a smile on my face :)
You guys should check out his other band Pucifer. I highly recommend the humbling river
Most of us wouldn't have minded the lyric video the second go around. Just saying. Good stuff, Brad & Lex.
Y’all gotta do the thing like Jamel does and have the lyrics pulled up alongside each video so u get the message as well, cheers y’all liked and shared 👍👍👍
Jamel is the man
The problem with having the lyrics is that people get distracted by trying to understand them instead of really listening to the music. My thinking is that you can always read and dissect the lyrics after you've heard the song, but you can't go back and feel what it was like having the full muscial experience for the first time. So I'm with Lex on this one.
@@Xenon0000000000001 That's a good point! I think it depends on the band/song, but yeah, usually, it's best to just go into it totally blind and then analyze after.
Dude!! You’re Killing me with your pauses at the wrong moment. My OCD can’t handle it🤣😂🤣😂
Maynard's mother Judith suffered a stroke that left her paralyzed, but she never gave up on her faith so he made this song off of anger this song is a fucking gem 💎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, seeing the lyrics in context with the music drives the meaning. I can't understate how important it is to hear the first two lines up to, "Fuck your God!" Sets the whole tone of the song. (Pull lyrics up on your phone, Brad!)
Before I truly knew how to decipher lyrics that line infuriated me. It was only after a few years I was able to realize how important the word “your” was in that lyric. He didn’t just say “God “ he said” your god “. The one that you believe in that makes you think you have to pay for your own sins, be punished for your own actions, the one that has a cult following where they excommunicate you for said punishments. When I realized we don’t follow the same God as people who thought this way, I understood the lyrics. Religious or not, which I know he’s not, I think that’s how he meant it rather than just saying “f god” in general. Could be off base but lyrics are meant for interpretation so🤷🏼♂️ lol
@@justinwilder3514 You got it. Maynard said something to the effect of "I'm not saying fuck the actual God. I'm saying 'Fuck YOUR god'... Look at Genesis 1:1: 'In the beginning, there was the Word'... JHVH... translated as Light... or Love. Not judgement, not punishment, not isolation... Fuck whatever 'god' that's supposed to be... God is LOVE... Might as well just close the book after that."
Many follow no religion, but know and revere THAT God. Myself included.
@@ju4408 exactly, I’m “Lutheran” but we follow what Luther preached not him himself. A man who stands up by himself to the corruption of Catholicism in their country is someone I want to learn from. Denominations breed confusion and that leads to this kinda thinking, whereas having a relationship with Christ means even if it’s all just made up, all you ever did was try to be the nicest un-judge mental person you could’ve been.
@@justinwilder3514 Amen. I'm "non-religious", but privately say I've met God face-to-face. Frankly don't care if anyone knows what I mean by that. It's Love/Light, period. I was raised Catholic, so learned lots about Luther (which actually made me a fan, instead of thinking of him as some enemy, as I was apparently supposed to do). He was imperfect, like anyone and everyone, but on the side of people helping others. I'm truly surprised he wasn't murdered like most of his type.
My brain reflexively thinks of any "belief system" as "B.S.", but I embrace the parable nature and metaphor nature of all religions. Help one another. The End. If people treated people as well as we treat our pets, Heaven would be reality on Earth.
This song is one of the beginning songs of Maynard dealing with the grief of his mothers illness and his issues with his mother's faith. Go do Wings for Marie one and Two, PLEASE.
And Jimmy.
Not so much her faith vs the hypocritical people in her congregation. He explains it here ruclips.net/video/YU0BrwlWNTk/видео.html
Paz....thank you for that!
I really hope you do more APC! I suggest "The Noose" or "Passive"
And Blue
and gravity
nah, 3 libras
Masterpiece
When I first heard this song, it was on a Walkman (portable cassette player) that had FM radio. I was in a behavioral reformation program due to bad behaviors as a child. This sound was so unique and different from everything else on the radio at the time. The DJ played the song 3 times in a row. A Perfect Circle has ever been one of my favorite bands.
Perhaps my favourite song of all time. Difficult to give all your favorites a number. But this song and the whole album, will love it forever.
Along with all the other recommendations for Perfect Circle songs, Passive is one of my absolute favorites.
Knowing that you like the song more after seeing the lyrics makes me love your reactions more.
A Perfect Circle - The Noose (My Personal Favorite)
- Disillusioned
- 3 Libras
- The Outsider
- Imagine
- Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drum
- Weak And Powerless
Song’s is about Maynard James Keenan's mother, Judith,she was paralyzed when Maynard was 11. She stayed paralyzed until she died years later. 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 his.
3 Libras next please 😁
The whole video is awesome but when Paz gets a break and puts her hair up, like "One sec, I'm about to tear some shit up!", is in my top 5 music video moments.
I totally agree Lex, this is definitely one of my favorites, the sound is incredible 👍
I love Howerdels side vocals in this one...he lets it out
Badass. I requested this. You guys are awesome
This song gets better over time...
you guys are the best. Such good chemistry together. I have a little request for a band called Billy Talent -Viking death march
Same. Took me about three listens, probably in my top ten songs now.
Did it all for youuuuuuuuuuu !!!!
"The Pet" back to back with "Counting Bodys like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums"; "Passive", "The Noose", "Peace, Love & Understanding", "The Package"
english first...the first ive heard this song my Brian was blowing away!!! I scream ..."this is maynard"!!!! I'm talking when youtube ??????? Whaatt. Not even in my best sci-fi dream!!!! Maynard it's a TOP FIVE SINGER. NO FKNN DOUBT!!...EN ESPAÑOL AHORA JAJA.. la primera vez que lo escuché mi cabeza explotó,grité ese es maynard. Sin dudas maynard es un vocalista top 5!!! Saludos desde Chile hermanos!! Un gusto que disfrutemos el mismo placer!!!
This track fucks with my struggle for faith to this day
Im with your gf or.wife when you asked her if she listened to words and she said no way
Ive been listening to ApC over 20 yrs. And i still dont. The instrumentals are mesmerizing enough 4 me.
You feel cool in a way after listening to these guys. Thats what the instrumentals do to me.
Ah my mid twenties where I woke up but was like a baby kitten with my third eye blind.
Brad: soooo you paying attention to the lyrics?
Lex: absoLUTLY NOT!
Lex! You are a Maynard fan! I love watching you listening to his music whether it’s APC or Tool. Your reaction is infectious!! I’m a huge fan of Maynard and have been since 93. A lot of people have a hard time getting into Tool but you seem to get it immediately. I love it!
You should listen to “10,000 days Wings for Marie part 2” by Tool. It’s really deep and is about his Mother Judith Marie. I got the chills the first time I heard it and I think you will love it too! Wear headphones so you can hear all of the little nuances….
You guys should read his book. It's very good and gives a lot of insight into his life.
I really like homegirl she seems genuinely happy to listen to new music.. I love this band so much
Judith (Maynard’s mother) had a stroke at 29 and was confined to a wheelchair until she passed in 2003- about 10,000 days later. Check that album out for Wings for Marie, 10,000 Days and Viginti Tres (the Maynard’s mom’s trilogy.)
this is my fave band of all time. ANY song on Mer de Norms, 13th Step, eMotive cd's are amazing
Great reaction. Please do WEAK AND POWERLESS you'll love it too
I've just discovered y'all's channel and I love it. I've stayed up five hours too late binging on your reactions.. I'm so going to be late for classes tomorrow 😂
My Sunday school teacher said I have to wright ,A Perfect Circle,on the chalk board each Sunday a million times,I said no problem ol Battle Axe.
I agree with Brad on Maynard's voice. It's more with how they decided to mix it.
On this first album especially, they mixed his vocals to blend in more like an instrument than lead vocals.
I checked him out live recently for the first time and his diction and clarity is spectacular!
Maynard and Billy's voices are so close to each other in timbre that many people don't even realize this song has two singers in it.
A lot of rock music has singers who are not easily understood. That makes the music more interesting to me. If the singer is good the emotion comes through even if the exact lyrics don't. You can always read the lyrics later.
Maynard is a King !! Where'd you find your Papa Legba shirt ? Love it !!
Definitely have the lyrics up for Wings for Marie 1+2. I usually wouldn’t recommend doing that with Tool but these particular songs hit different with the lyrics combined with the music. It’s a slower pace too so it’s not so distracting trying to decipher the sound and lyrics at the same time.
Lex be feeling it. That's what's up
Just a classic, beautiful.
The song is all about his mother who was a devout worshipper and never did anything wrong. She was then diagnosed with cancer and the song 10,000 days is also about his mother whom lived for exactly 10,000 days after her diagnosis. This song is basically him giving the big middle finger to a god who only wants good, but would do this to the most angelic of persons.
Don’t worry about making out the words, when you listen enough to the hard stuff, you get an ear for it.
Once you can understand lamb of god you are golden
I can hear the anger he feels for his mother's faith and i can also hear a story about woman who kept her faith through the 10,000 days of fire. It's a deep song to me.
Hello from Colorado USA 🙋🏻 8-18-21🎼🎼🎼
Brad: I don't know what I'm doing!
yeah , ... these guys are my friends !
