A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras (unplugged)

[@rozwelljones4976]

I swear he's definitely one of the best vocalist's of the 21st century.

[@masongibliant3337]

Is the best

[@Wkalsek12]

Yes I would approve lol his voice is captivating. Many other top singers for other reasons to each their own.

[@jookieapc]

there's so much to his voice. He can be quiet and subdued like in this performance or scream and dominate in Tool songs

[@matthewschaffer4511]

All time

[@allankay12]

Maybe, but for me one of the best lyricists ever!

[@mollyfoxxx]

I’ve been listening to this version since my brother played it on limewire on my giant desktop computer in like 2006 when I was 14. It’s such a hauntingly beautiful rendition that once you hear it, it’s hard to go back to the original.

[@xenophagia]

Paz's violin work here is beautiful. Still love APC, but they aren't the same without her.

[@kingkrysen]

Agree

[@Joe_Karably]

100%

[@greigns7781]

Why'd she leave?

[@ilay829]

I love her, but she was a bass tour member. She also played violin but the bass was recorder by billy

[@CullenRotten]

she plays bass for The Pixies now

[@del132]

This version of this song was one of the first songs I downloaded from Napster.

[@hagethaog7771]

Ohh my heart. I do fondly and warmly remember and miss those days. Good times. Today... sucks goat ass. 90GenXer til death. \m/

[@canalnisa3294]

Lars Ulrich will process you if he see this coment hahaha

[@canalnisa3294]

@AgentFlea sorry im Brazilian kkkk english is not my mother tongue,but i think that you catch the idea of the joke hahaha I Think

[@HBC423]

Nicolas Sotero I got it... the word you were searching for was prosecute though

[@del132]

@@hagethaog7771 and here we are, a year later, and somehow even worse than before. If I get my time machine up and running I'll let you know.

[@r2d2cold9]

Wow. Original version is one of my favorite songs...and here i am in 2020 barely finding this version.

[@gratesagag4948]

I had this on like 3 burned cds a long time fav

[@BriefNerdOriginal]

Here I am 4 years later, bagging to know where to find this version apart than youtube! please, do you know if it's part of an album?

[@alexanderfaust4192]

Mer de Noms was released when I was 17 in May of 2000, and it forever changed my life. I bought it at the local CD store (there was next to no music online at that time) around the corner, and remember listening to this in my pool in the blistering July heat of Memphis TN. One of the most vivid memories I have until this day, 20 years later...I even remember seeing them on this tour in Nashville with Paz as part of the original lineup. I am so thankful I was given that opportunity...APC was not a major band at that time, and never realized how special that was exactly. Still have the shirt from that tour :)

[@thealmighty0071]

oh wow i was 12... the movie Constantine came out and heard the song passive and bought the album. loved Thirteen steps too... don't know which one came out first but i remember a guy giving me a cd with 3 libras on it and fell in love with the music... i had great friends giving me cds and burnt dvds for me to watch my fave concerts before... i was so lucky and still very am... now youtube is my best friend ha

[@stnkfst8639]

Beautiful memories make beautiful stories!

[@shawnortmann9662]

I was also that same age when that album came out, I'd already been listening to tool and Deftones for years, but that album by APC it's incredible when you sit down and really listen to it, it was definitely life-changing...

[@Anarchisticdramaking]

The themes Maynard sings about in Tool, APC and Puscifer are all different but universal to every human out there. He is no more human than anyone else but he has the amazing gift to capture pure emotion in his songs and I am so thankful that he has shared it with the world. He is one of the few artists out there who sing not to become popular or richer but to express his emotions and in some way help other people cope with theirs

[@ashn333]

The voice of an angel the mind of a philosopher. Maynard!!!

[@roccocomustacciuoli3218]

This is the best version of this song. Dark and sweet at the same. A mystic moment.

[@91freyfrey]

Heard both versions and i love em both..man Maynard James Keenan's voice is just out of this world..a gift from the GODs of Rock.

[@John-ie2wb]

Been looking for this for a while. Wish Spotify had this version. I remember this from limewire. Got it by accident and was like 🤯

[@ninacaldera4099]

Yes! Me too! I was 16 and hunting for feelings that weren’t my own… and wow this did it

[@BriefNerdOriginal]

Did youfind out if it's part of any album? I am looking for it in 2024 ... please!

[@mercuryxi1]

Awesome. as usual. An awesome voice. An incredible sound. A life changing Man. Maynard James Keenan, your work has formed nearly my entire musical taste. You are amazing. Please never, never stop what you are doing.

[@kingkrysen]

Maynard has an angel voice love it so much 😍😍😇😇

[@wolfmoon9500]

But a Dark §øul..!!! 🤘🏻💀✨🌀✨🖤🔥🔥🔥

[@AnimeishDwarf]

One of my favorite songs ever. I can feel and identify with the meaning and passion behind this song. I will forever love this song and his voice and his lyrics.

[@ravenfirewalkermorris846]

Those strings..that voice..beyond beautiful.

[@xoliquidox]

wow.. that's simply amazing! ...I love it wow.. I'm just all giddy for this song at the moment. i love APC and TOOL so yeah. :P

[@mattgoodfellow4224]

How have I never heard this version before?!

[@MJKsFan]

I think this is a B-Side for one of the 3 Libras CD singles... or maybe it was Sleeping Beauty? It's packed away at the moment or I would check...

[@foxicious]

Agreed. He just says what i cannot say in words,he feels what i feel,he just knows how to sing it. Thats why i love him. Doesnt mean ill act like im above all and he's my personal jesus.

[@webshadow69]

It's just incredible how this version and the original are so different, yet so awesome at the same time.

[@alexblack226]

Greatest song on the world. Perfect.

[@FGuilt]

And then descending by TOOL happened...

[@PXNDXN]

It sounds like a mash up of 3 libras and the package, i like it a lot!!

[@RedHanded27]

wow this is a great version of 3 libras

[@JadeGiant25]

First time I heard this song performed unplugged and I seriously stopped breathing a couple times........I....just .......really dont know what else to say Im speachless

[@Anarchisticdramaking]

Maynards words pierce deep into the soul. The themes he sings about in Tool, APC and Puscifer are all different but universal to every human being. He is no more human than any one of us but he has the wonderful gift of being able to capture pure emotion in music and I am so thankful that he shared it with the world

[@Donbd83]

The string ensemble behind this version gives it such a haunting feel that brings new life into this masterpiece .

[@jessesalinas1316]

One of my all-time favorite acoustic songs!

[@mondosolorzano]

holy shit so heavy for being acoustic

[@thrashyouraoff]

Absolutely epic just goes to show you how good James Keenan Maynard really is.

[@nickuzelac8385]

Such an amazing band from top to bottom!!

[@metabolic0513]

God this is pure awesomeness. A perfect song was perfected.

[@TheworldofAR15]

What I would give to be in that small audience....

[@Weedeater58]

But what would you do for a Klondike bar?

[@angelofwar9223]

Gotta have that Klondike bar tho... jus sayin 😉

[@Trex4201]

This is quite literally the M0ST beautiful thing I've ever heard.

[@carissag.barnes8251]

beautiful. think its my fav APC song

[@Alexis-qv5sb]

i'm gonna say it.. i like this better than the original version.

[@Teskue]

Maynard is so amazing, his voice is awesome!!!

[@Shotokan07]

Thank you for saying something so amazing and yet so simple.

[@jesusofdiablo]

It's amazing the difference of A.) The attitude of the people here who have left comments, in opposition to the hateful sprites that exist else and anywhere on the internet and B.) The level of grammar mastery the respondents cared to reply with in their posts. I think that speaks volumes for the works of Maynard and companies.

[@calebdrew5684]

I feel like you appreciate this version better knowing and loving the original.

[@strigoi5890]

I love this version it’s the best. Wish I could get on iTunes

[@jessicarh87]

I don't care what anyone thinks, to me Maynard will ALWAYS be on top of the talented list. He IS evolution. His music is on a higher level than ANYONE I have ever heard.HE is the ONLY one capable of waking up the world..if everyone would just open their ears and heart to his messages there would be a new world order

[@4rescue]

MJK is on eof the greatest singers in ALL of music...

[@honahni79]

I like all kinds of music from tupac to mozart, from led zepplin to tim mcgraw but Maynard's voice is like no other!! Maynards voice is so relaxing

[@TheArabassist]

WOW....such a dark and moving counterpart, love it :D

[@pelotonrm]

awesome version of an incredible song . . .

[@RafalRosinski]

this is a key for my soul...

[@vig90]

this song brings me back to such painful moments... it paints my feelings into the air

[@sukmiwang66]

maynards voice. live or studio his voice is the same. never changes. thats why he has the greatest voice in rock/metal history

[@Lyricsrmydrug]

So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@queenofhearts17]

this version seems less sad and bittersweet as the original. it seems to have a much deeper devastated and morose feel to it

[@Buru80]

This is a wonderful arrangement for an unplugged setting. So glad I stumbled upon it.

[@catsrule4catsrule481]

Amazing and beautiful

[@ChegzGT1EB]

Im jealous that you'd found such good music at such an early age. But agreed, i can't quite put my finger on what it is. But there's something about the dynamics and sentiment in APC that will forever hold a melancholy strangle hold on me. Its nostalgic, depressing and uplifting all at once. Real music for the heart

[@HoodyBoy85]

That violin is so eery and beautiful.

[@sonicscreamingblue]

I remember when this came out when i was in high school....time sure does fly.

[@shinobidef]

I much prefer this version - those strings just do it for me and far more emotional

[@lyleyla9275]

Man its so hard for me to rank anyone!! The only thing I know for sure is Maynard is the best vocalist & possibly the best lyricist of ALL TIME!!! Not to mention he's an incredible human being. Intelligent, insightful, spiritual, strong vocally & physically...a truly remarkable person!! & my very favorite! His voice vibrates every cell in my body suspended in a goldish light of sun rays, awareness & honey!! Magical!!

[@Brrrrraaapp]

such a beautiful and enchanting song to fall asleep too...as soon as you doze off.... SCREAMING and OBNOXIOUS APPLAUSE

[@cliveappleby4175]

Difficult not to feel during this music great drums and bass...!!!

[@sugarpillguy]

I think deifying people takes away some respect to what they go through and have gone through as human beings. "He's just born better than everyone - he's a god!" Maynard wasn't born a great singer, he made himself into one. He wasn't born a performer, he worked at it; he wasn't born a writer, he worked at it. When an athlete plays in a game and hits everything perfectly, what we don't see is the countless hours he's worked at perfecting his game. Same can be said for Maynard.

[@tamsinn]

i'm moved.... the beauty of it all......

[@XVintageEroticaX]

Simply Beautiful.makes me want to play the violin again.*sighs*

[@bigbird7838]

Best version of this song ever!!!!!!!

[@metalloulou]

I love MJK's voice, he can sing me lullabies any time o_o

[@23izzette]

Beautifully and divinely done!

[@PerfectParasite]

@HeuristicThought I've seen Tool live and his vocals are perfect. The only way you can tell it's even live is because he likes to change up his vocal rhythm.

[@lydenmarikh]

Threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back a name In your recollection down among a million same... Awesome lyrics!!

[@lalee411]

this is the first time I heard the acoustic version..love it!

[@mariposa1112]

Fucking Awesome!!! The strings are the sirens song.

[@thomasmireles]

That violin, fucken awesome!! Everything about this song is juss perfection

[@bigshoewc]

Just got tickets to see them at Red Rocks in August!!!! Gonna be EPIC!

[@haru63]

Self realization and speculation on every aspect of what you see, taste, touch, smell; what you feel; what you experience, you're entire entity is created through a spark in the mind, and so may you create the world around you through... What else but the mind? Behind those eye's lies a wonderful capability. The capability to dream... with other people. This pain is all an illusion, but don't expect too much from the wounded who do not see themselves... The creator within us all must be found.

[@BongoOify]

never gonna stop listening to mjk and apc.. not as the teenager i am... neither as a old man i'm gonna be..

[@foxclover6]

Perfect. Nothing will ever match Maynard.

[@hashimali72]

Maynard for president.

[@Syncopated_]

He said "That's what my son is for." Lol

[@cfnorg5308]

why is this version of the song so rare? its the best version out there...

[@PerfectParasite]

I love how they can take a song they wrote then change everything about it and it's still awesome.

[@Matt463634]

The backing reminds me of Bullet The Blue Sky by U2.

[@LEMMYKISGOD]

Very much so... 🎶🤔

[@kotavu6004]

I can hear it too

[@moosehose]

I never heard this version before they played it in Seattle last fall. In fact, due to crowd noise, I didn't even recognize it by the lyrics. I kept thinking, why aren't they playing 3 Libras now? I must say, I like the original better, hopefully I'll hear that version when they play Portland this summer, if I'm lucky enough to get tickets again.

[@irontoolgoddess]

Where did this come from ??!! Just Beeauuutiful. The Sliiide....

[@fucci98]

amazing........................

[@antihax91]

@TheBettyone While there might be a "TV on the Radio" there is no video on the radio. There are many concerts with professionally recorded audio, but no video to go with it.

[@meorzed918]

his voice gives me goose bumps every time

[@sethredden8667]

I don't have much time in this world as it is but I do have one wish and that's a complete mix of (Tool, APC, and Puscifer) in straight acoustic. A few of his songs are written in my will to play when they do whatever it is they'll do with my body and in my mind I wish his voice would stay constant in whatever I enter after death.

[@TheJulsey]

There really aren't any words to describe this

[@HappyFatzKid]

@hojima I would have to agree with you on the RHCP thing yo. Seen them in I believe 03, can't really remember right now, but it was way better than anything from any studio album. So awesome that I had to sit down thru a bit of the show because I was way to high to handle it.

[@andreads502]

amazing new conception of 3 Libras.. im getting that a perfect circle symbol tattoed in my chest..

[@upfrontmorals1233]

Probably my favorite version of this song

[@emery222]

my chill bumps just splooged...

[@J3MOdh3NOWX3S]

Acoustic version of 3 Libras (All main courses remix).

[@DARKKALISTA]

So damn perfect!

[@WeAreLions013]

@giarga one of the best singing voices!!

[@FuckingMonsterrat]

me encanta esta version

[@merdenoms5498]

This kills, I wish they would of done this in the studio!!!

[@SANMANBX12]

Hauntingly brilliant

[@code1911stainless]

i wold love to hear more of this

[@liquidpeprmint]

[@trustinme26]

His voice is AMAZING... Their are many many great singers out there but maynards is absolutely angelic. every one else can have their god i will worship maynard lol :-)

[@bricriu]

ACOUSTIC EXISTS FOR THIS SONG

[@pariahmouse7794]

[@TheChrisSoria]

[@jamesmcdermott7642]

Wow this version sounds incredible
