I just them on this tour leg. I wouldn’t exactly say he’s a hard hitting drummer. He was very precise the whole night. Soft and direct. Judith was the only song he seemed to pick up the pace and out more energy into.
Maynard sounds great, Josh is a beast. they all sound good af. I wish James iha woulda made it. maybe on the next tour after they release new material like Maynard promised. these guys making aging look awesome. these songs take me back to my early twenties. still such a unique sound that no one has duplicated.
@@ryandahlberg1527 exactly! Except maybe puscifer which he has a hand in the music writing as well, but i'm excited to hear what comes out of all of them
Yep. He is a true gem. Top class session drummer, with an impressive resume of bands he played with - hell, he even rented his balls to Suicidal Tendencies in the early 1990s! Oh, and by the way, he is the new drummer for a certain band called Foo Fighters....
Whoa whoa whoa! Is that Josh Freese?!?! Edit: it is! Gunnar will fill in when Freese has to do Foo Fighters shows. 🤯 Okay, now i need to find and date Freese is on and go see them. 🙏🏻
WHOA! A Perfect Circle playing Judith!! Last time I saw them play this was in 2010 at the Avalon Hollywood. And it looks like Josh Freese is back behind the kit. Thanks for this D.A.!!
It’s definitely him! He was just on the Sessanta tour for Maynard’s birthday too, came back for old times sake until he’s gotta go tour with foo fighters.
Such great memories. I saw APC open for NIN in Atlanta back May 2001 or 2002. I think it was only their 2nd or 3rd show. Maynard was at the front of the stage then wearing a long pink wig. I was front row pit and never saw his face. They were unreal.
part of me is so happy ppl are singing along - another part of me is like SHHHH LET HIM SING lol but not as much as the happy part at seeing this in general
He does sound great. As for the breath part some of it might be age but he’s also talked about covid legitimately really messed with his lungs for a long time.
Jesus, Edith! I'm almost 50 and though my sack is hanging lower there's only so much 🎶 load I have. This is my 3 video of theirs from you I've watched. Need a baby aspirin. 🤯🤯🤯
Amazing vocals by Maynard. Proff that the vocals style he chose for the most recent Tool and APC albums were a style choice rather than "I cant do that anymore".
Josh killed it. They all sound incredible wow!!! Too bad they are playing what looks like to be an early time slot... They should def be headlining at night.
@@gman4988 yeah exactly this, Tool's performances in last 2 years were great. He must have been through a lot of vocal re-education and training, to have this amount of control and precision back again, in his 60s
Something seems to have happened in the past 12 months to Maynard's voice - in a very good way! He has a lot more confidence and is landing all the high notes effortlessly in these APC bangers. I'd be curious to know if he's had any vocal training in the lead up to the Sessanta Tour. Sounding fucking great for 60 MJK!!!
Even though it was delayed Kansas was kinda better because they played anything off Mer De Noms it was already dark so the songs of Mer De Noms were all in orange. IJS
@jambi711 Being the truck driver who failed to make the show because of Denver weather and the I-40 closure due to the train derailment, I can confirm this is true
Lol, why wouldn't they know how to play different instruments? It probably took 5-10 minutes to tune the guitar and bass, and Josh just has the drums positioned like he's used to. Not having their own instruments would've made little to no difference.
No, it’s 1) because he can get a better sounding audio mix for him while he’s playing. It can be difficult to hear the vocals when you are standing in front of loud guitar/bass amps. And the guys in Tool both have massive rigs. I think he started doing it with them, and brought it over for APC. And Maynard has a lot more softer vocal parts than a lot of hard rock singers do. And 2)He can also see what’s going on over the whole stage better (kind of like how football coaches sometimes have coaching booths half way up the stadium, so they can see the whole field). This way he can visual communicate with the other band guys for changes in the songs (he’s not a very tall man lol)..-I just read all of this from an interview he recently did..
Do any of you guitar 🎸 players wish you were James Iha? “Should I play with A Perfect Circle this year? Or should I do the Smashing Pumpkins tour??”…decisions decisions..
I just recently saw Maynard open up about his mother and how she had a stroke and he had to grow up watching her suffer. Her name was Judith he made wine in her memory. This song makes a whole lot more sense now. As it was obvious that this still affects him. It comes out in his performance and still helps him deal. I can understand that having his Mom pray during all that trauma growing up would piss someone off at the whole idea of it. Maynerd is a deep. Intelligent within the depths of his deep emotions. I think many have had a tragedy that can make you feel this way.. I have. Yet .. i've come to realize it's not Gods or Jesus's fault. It's people. Probably a reaction to a medication unforeseen by genetics or some kind of environmental issue of some kind that in humans free will was created . Maybe realizing that brings peace and closure I sure hope He finds it.. This sure brought me some closure that this song is not some occultist tribute to the first vampire or demon or something... Once agian it"s raw viceral introspection. It seems Maynard is not what he first appears to be. Great performance.
@@Twister1980 Well because his Mom had a stroke at a young age and he had to take care of her and she remained religious. As a child that could be hard and foster quite normal resentment for God in youth. That's what the song is about. Him dealing with that.. You are not the Judge and you should read some of what Jesus said if your going to claim his religion and go acting like that. It's this kind of twisted version of m Christianity that turns people away from God.. Which for all you know is the bigger sin. It's a song. That doesn't mean all his actions are evil or even considered good. Like taking care of his mother because she couldn't do it herself. Context is important before you lash out
@scottmitchell2757 I'm concerned about his soul. He always uses his mother's stroke as an excuse to reject God. He clearly hates God. A lot of people go through hard times in life and they don't reject God and His Son. I know all about Tool. They do satanic rituals.
they played the night before in Red Rocks, and their gear got caught in a snowstorm on the way to Vegas. They're not playing their own instruments in this video, it's all borrowed gear or stuf they managed to buy last minute (this was an 11am show I think?). Fascinating stuff! Primus was also playing at that festival and they were in the same boat. There's a video of Les Claypool playing a bass he had to buy the morning of, with tags still attached 😄
The thing that still blows me away is that Maynard James Keenan is no different really than he was 30 years ago....kinda bizarre. Still a great singer and frontman and his voice hasn't changed hardly at all. It's so bizarre when comparing him to other singers from even 20 years ago that can't sing now or are totally out of it.
@@TheVirus-pr8zw She was in the band for only the first couple of years..she’s been gone for two decades now..Billy Howerdel (guitars) & Maynard (vocals) are obviously the two main pillars of the group..
Song is solid as expected, but I'm not wrapping my brain around that business suit. Is it a meme? I haven't followed APC for a bit, but it looks constricting as fuck.
It was a solid record. It’s just different from their old stuff because they didn’t set out to do what they were known for. It’s darker and channeling a lot more mature energy. Brilliant as always. Drums weren’t an issue at all. Many drummers had credits on that one. All seasoned players.
