i agree!! just heard for the first time, but i'd say soad - spiders on conan was a 1st til this one snatched 1st fav~! these peformances need better source archiving. @nbc
I favorited this twice. Maynard is my medicine. I always feel better hearing his voice. Whether it be in A Perfect Circle, TOOL, or Puscifer. He is incredibly talented.
I could not agree more. He walked me through my first shroom trip with The Thirteenth Step, and ever since then he has been a big staple in my musical life.
I come and watch this every year on March 15th. One of my best friends and I followed APC around for a few years and we were in the second row for the performance. One of the most fun memories of my 20s!
Seems like he messed up a little there. Strained his voice in the wrong way and struggled with the higher notes at the end of the song. Phenomenal vocalist and a great performance, but at the end of that scream you can hear his voice crack and he drops it. Too much tension in the wrong places 😔
I come back to this every 6 months or so....for a good 15 years now. It's just that good. Just a cool performance that you wouldn't remotely expect to see on....Jay Leno, of all shows. Also kinda nuts to realize how many talented people were in the band at this moment. James Iha....Twiggy...Maynard....odd but totally legit super group of a sort during this era. Makes me nostalgic watching this...
Dont sleep on Jeff freidl...the stone and echo show live at the red rocks is probably the best show you'll ever hear of a perfect circle live...they absolutely kill it at that show
Dylan Caldwell it's a close run thing. I don't think it's superior, just different and presented slightly differently. I never got this picking favorites obsession syndrome myself.
I didn't realize that in these lyrics Maynard is talking to a junkie, pretty heavy shit. A friend of mine fighting a demon of such told me this. This fucking music keeps him alive. Thank you Maynard
It the perspective of the junkies brother who doesn't understand as Maynard put it that it's not a sprained ankle. The junkie is rumored to be Lanye Staley though I've never heard Keenan say it.
Every time I see Maynard live on video or when I am so fortunate as to be near a performance one word comes to my heart/mind/soul seemingly unbidden...luscious...
I've seen interviews of josh Freese. He seems cocky but with how he plays who could blame him. He is a fukn monster on drums. He plays it exactly as on the record. Freese I worship your style, control, technique and timing.
I would say he is more goofy and silly than cocky, but I can see how some situations might come off as that. And yes, he's a master of movement behind a kit.
To be able to see a band play live and play outstanding is a delight in these modern times My own personal draw has always been to bands who can write/play/vocalise there music Perfect circle tick all the box's👍
Lmao @'trust me, no one will remember this band in 10 yrs' sure thing kid... This band been rocking for over a decade.. Maynard is my only living male vocalist crush today. This voice... It's amazing.
My wife and I were crusing down the road a few days ago.... we were jammin out to the Outsider... as the song finished we looked at each other and were still amazed at Maynards music and lyrics. I was like... " God damm he rocks!!!! She said... " Maynards music in one word leaves you SATISFIED not lacking with anything. Maynard is a master.
+JuditasDude it's just some power chords. Honestly the homeless guy I hear on my street every day has better licks. sorry but it's the truth. Maynard would probably agree.
+JuditasDude my bad, I thought you were referring to the bridge of the song for some reason.... as for that one particular fill, still meh. Watch a guy like Mike Byrne on the drums and it makes this guy look like an amatuer. I was expecting APC to be a great live band, but in all honesty it sounds pretty sloppy to my ear. cheers
Really? check out Freese discography. he is a respected studio and session drummer. He is playing with Sting right now. sorry but talking like this you're just showing off your stupidity or maybr you just an ignorant with hearing problems, sorry...
Josh Freese is a much more creative drummer than Mike... If you were making the argument of Danny Carey from Maynard's main band Tool I would understand but when you really look at Josh's full career and you analyze his playing, he blows Mike out of the water. (His work with NIN alone) The fill in question is nothing special and this song is actually in 3/4 and that is just a 16th note fill broken between the hands and feet. Post Jimmy Chamberlin Pumpkins haven't done anything remotely as complex or even outside of 4/4.
I’m in this comment section again because someone commented on my original comment so of course when that happens you have to watch the whole performance again, gladly and then comment again because that’s how compelling the performance is. I’ve been listening to Maynard since I was a little girl, I’m 41 now, I would say APC and give credit but specifically Maynard because I was introduced to him in Tool first. My big brother is 8 years older than me and of course that’s where I got my fascination with this genre. We grew up in a rough neighborhood, crack house across the street, gangs, drugs dealers, etc if there’s a stereotype connected to that in music one may assume this isn’t exactly the first genre that pops into mind for the likelihood we’d listen to. We were the only ones on the block who listened to heavy metal (not exactly heavy metal but The kids on the block lumped it because they didn’t know any better, but yes Slayer, slipknot, etc) and we got made fun of for it, so I hid it for many years, and tho I grew up on it I didn’t actually appreciate it until I had my first child and the heartbreak of their father. I could keep going but I’m starting to cry, I’m so thankful to have been born in this era of music and my brother for introducing it to me ❤
What a great performance! Raw and intense. And, of course, Maynard. Reminds me of Slayer performing Reign n Blood on Kimmel. Different genre, but equally raw and intense.
