J M - Paz made this track... From the very first note until that last vocal and the fade. Was amazing to watch her stage presence when they toured the Mers album!
@@aMomentOfScienceSTL hell yeah, not to take anything away from the others but her voice just resonates, it was a excellent move to bring her in for this album.
You are probably already aware, but just to point out again. So Tool "Jimmy" you said in your reaction to that song you read the back story on Maynard's mom Judith Marie having an aneurysm that left her paralyzed for the remainder of her life. (Roughly 10,000 days) "Jimmy" is Maynard James Keenan talking to himself at 11 years old saying "I'm coming back home" I've been lost and numb... Hold your light... Then A Perfect Circle "Judith" is his anger at his mother's faith and piousness saying "you praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed." and this magnum opus of 3/4 songs resolves itself with Wings for Marie/10,000 days where Maynard lets go of ego and says that while he is stuck in his ways and his arrogance and the burden of proof is not on him that his mother was his eyes and his evidence and she better shake her fist at the gates and demand her wings.
Kristopher Bushman i would also add tool’s The Patient as part of this story arc. Making it 3/5 rather than a 4 song arc. The Patient marked a turning point that made the resolution in Wings 1&2 possible. Maynard has suffered for his art and we are all the better for it.
If I remember right she was an avid catholic that ended up passing away in pain. Correct me if in wrong but that's the point of the lyrics in this song. " even though hes the one who did this to you, you never thought to question why". Shes passing away in pain but stayed faithful till the end.
I subbed after a couple of vids and still watched your others. Seeing how you love Maynards voice, you gonna also dig his third band Puscifer. Your reactions are fire! Keep it going!
This is the melodic side of Maynard. Check out The Noose Pet Weak and Powerless (from Stone and Echo) By and Down (Stone and Echo) When the Levee Breaks (Stone and Echo) The Outsider (Apocalypse Remix)
A Perfect Circle- The Hollow, 3 Libras, Orestes, The Package, Pet, The Outsider, The Noose, Magdalena, Passive, Sleeping Beauty, TalkTalk, The Doomed, Disillusioned You may now proceed. 👌
Ohio Against The World Well it's only meant to be a sample of some of their tracks from each album. Those 2 songs are great but I like the ones I listed better from "Thirteenth Step".
leafsfan1728 true, but "prolific"-wise. you really don't like Weak & Powerless? I don't think I've ever met an APC fan who didn't like Weak & Powerless lol I mean to each their own, but just curious.
Puscifer is great too! The green valley. I love Maynard's voice on that one. Well his voice is always fantastic but still. Preston my friend you gotta check out Puscifer too!
@@Sobergirl_, Trump?? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I just love the song...the sound, the beat....it ALWAYS pumps me up!!! Preston....it's a great track to workout to!!!
The song is a lot more powerful when you realize Judith is Maynard's mother, who was paralyzed after a stroke when Maynard was 11 years old. Even after becoming paralyzed, as a devout Christian, she kept praying to God. Just look at these lyrics and realize that Maynard is basically telling his mother she is a fool for her beliefs, if her God was so great he wouldn't have caused this to happen to her.....makes the song so much more impressive and powerful. You're such an inspiration for the ways That I'll never ever choose to be Oh so many ways for me to show you How the savior has abandoned you Fuck your God Your Lord and your Christ He did this Took all you had and Left you this way Still you pray, you never stray Never taste of the fruit You never thought to question why It's not like you killed someone It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side Praise the one who left you Broken down and paralyzed He did it all for you He did it all for you Oh so many many ways for me to show you How your dogma has abandoned you Pray to your Christ, to your god Never taste of the fruit Never stray,…
Yo if you want something hard, but slightly different than the usual rock you hear, try Wish by Nine Inch Nails. I feel like it’d be right up your alley and a great introduction to NIN
Hmm... NIN would be a great choice for him to react to, but Wish is a bit harsh from a songwriting perspective. Not sure he'd love that song as much as something like Head Like A Hole, Terrible Lie, Every Day Is Exactly The Same, Into The Void, The Big Comedown, Copy Of A, In Two, etc.
Just came across your channel and I absolutely love your reaction videos. I am a lifelong fan of TOOL and APC, but I love a variety of genres. Just wanted to say ty for sharing your love of music.
Anthony Smith He ALWAYS wears all different types of wigs when he performs with APC....usually goes with the mohawk but I personally like the long wig when he braids it haha
SO glad you took a dive into A Perfect Circle man! Looking forward to more and definitely check out Puscifer too. Puscifer - (Galileo/ Horizons/ The Remedy/ The Humbling River/ Autumn) A Perfect Circle - (The Outsider/ The Hollow/ The Doomed) Cheers!
Thank you Preston! I have been waiting for this one. Check this out, the lead singer waits until his band completes the instrumentals and then he writes all the lyrics. He does this for all three bands. I have never heard of this crazy creative process, but it seems to work dreams for them.
This song is about Maynard's frustration with his mom being highly religious yet she was paralyzed and never gave up her faith. He of course is angry at God and felt she didn't deserve so terrible a fate.
Judith is the lead singers mother. She’s a devout Christian and was paralysed and put into a wheelchair after a car crash. The song is about Maynard ( the lead singer) questioning how his mother can still love god when he did that to her. Every time I hear it, it just gets deeper and deeper.
She had a ruptured aneurysm at age 31 I believe, I'm not sure if it was from a car accident or it just ruptured, that left her paralyzed on her left side and affected her speech as well, and he's singing about how could a god that is supposed to love you do this to you, she lived for 27 years after it, roughly 10,000 days, he said it was her still being a devout christian after the stroke and the event solidified him to not believe in christianity anymore, and he left it at that point, very deep song
This is the very FIRST time I watched a video of yours, and because of THIS video, you just got yourself another subscriber! 👍🏻 Time to binge watch brother! OR as my Samoan buddy would say: Your videos? Nice. Real nice. Time to binge 'em bruddah!
Digging it. You are speaking of my favorite musicians on Earth. Seen them 18 times, and will again 3 more times in November. I didn't expect your reaction...you, sir, have excellent awareness of great talent. *Subscribed!
I just love watching people smile when they like what they hear. The fact that you went back to listen again some parts put a smile on my face. Good music is good music.
Check out A Perfect Circle- Orestes live from Stone and Echo. Also, you want to review these with lyric videos and to read ahead of time to get some background info, just like TOOL
Dude...dude... this is my favorite band. Watching you listen to them for a first time and saying how Maynard touched you're soul brought a tear to my eye. Listen to all their albums brother, they're amazing. Thanks for the video. Made my day.
what are you questioning? Mad Season isnt a big name bro. i love Layne, but truth is M S is a few hit wonder, i cant even name another song than rive of deceit. now you may like the entire album, im not sure, but... to most who do know mad season , they will tell you, few hit wonder. not like A in C
I never stated they were the best band with the most hits... I suggested a reaction video to them and wonder why someone else called them a few hit wonder. Considering they had 1 album I would venture to say that it did pretty damn good...
Yeah the hollow was fantastic. I still remember the first time I fired up the CD and that track came on. My jaw just about hit the floor. It was such a sonically distinct sound compared to so many other bands of the time.
Preston, if you want... I can explain how they, Tool, record. First Danny the drummer will lay his tracks down. Then they guitarists, I think Justin first then Adam, go and record their solo parts on top of the previous person's finished product. They do some mastering. It's finally delivered to Maynard, the lead singer, who then listens to the compositions and writes the lyrics last. Then they go back thru some mastering, maybe some rewrites, and then it's time to release. In the meantime, good to see you checkin out Maynard's other major project (he has a smaller one named Puscifer as well) A Perfect Circle. Judging by what you've liked thus far... I'd recommend The Package or The Outsider. They have a new track called DisIllusioned that, since you said Maynard's voice touched your soul, would do just that again.
I don’t know you or anything about your channel...but you have just done the best thing for your soul by discovering A Perfect Circle. I’ve been a die hard fan and faithful follower is theirs since 2002. Seen em live 4 times. If you EVER have the chance to see them...you need to! After ten years of not touring, they’re finally doing tours!!! I’m happy for you that you found Lord Maynard. He’s my everything. Lol
My favorite channel and always look forward to new videos. Keep up the great work! I have one request, please react to Magdalena off this same album. The instrumentals man
The Noose A Perfect Circle So glad to see you well Overcome and completely silent now With heavens help you cast your demons out And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you off your cloud But I'm more than just a little curious How you're planning to go about making your amends To the dead To the dead Recall the deeds as if they're all Someone else's atrocious stories Now you stand reborn before us all So glad to see you well And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you to the ground But I'm more than just a little curious How you're planning to go about making your amends To the dead To the dead With your halo slipping down Your halo slipping Your halo slipping down Your halo slipping down but I'm…
When there first album came out, I got to see the live at Louisville Gardens. Really didn't appreciate how good this song, or how good the band was at the time. Now they are one of my favorite artists that have ever played music!!!!!!
Awesome reaction to a great song by the one and only Maynard! APC touches me as well, ALL Maynard's bands do the same....it hits you in your core and it resonates! 🙏🏻
(3 Libras... you have to check it out). Judith is definitely one of the best songs ever written in this genre. Musically the song is just so powerful and Maynard's voice is in a league of it's own. Personality-wise, I've heard the guy can be a douchebag, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been blessed with some rare talents. A Perfect Circle has a few songs that I can really get down to... this is one of them, but you also have to check out their song 3 Libras. I know you would love it... when the chorus hits, I know you are going to get some chills, haha.
This song is epic, used to blare it down the road when it first came out. Their song 3 Libras is too. So much power in the music, lyrics, and vocals, chills.
People need to slow up on the Puscifer recommendations lol...don't believe he'd like it as much lol. There are some great ones but their vibe is definitely different than Tool and Diet Tool lol. Love the Maynard stuff though... Would like to see you react to some Opeth. Windowpane, Burden, and Benighted.
Bro Maynard's voice just both bands are the greatest. Bro I've always loved both bands and to see u discovering them is making me fall in love with them all over again.
Preston- just found your channel! First let me say I’ve just spent the last handful of hours watching all your TOOL reaction vids, and it has been a pleasure my friend. Glad you have found the third eye at last! All of MJK’s bands are awesome! I think you should listen to More of the UNDERTOW album by TOOL and you NEED To LISTEN To THIRD EYE!!! Also lots More APC (I think you would enjoy The weak and the powerless as well as Sleeping Beauty!) Pusifer is MJK’s third band and there is a song Humbling River that is also a deep meaning and huge vocal song! Again love the vids, keep exploring
