A Perfect Circle - Judith Reaction Heavy Lyrics!!!!!!!!

[@clarkfloyd2669]

His mother was a devout Christian. When Maynard was 11 she suffered a stroke/aneurysm and was paralyzed. However, she never abandoned her faith and he was angry at her about that. How could she, who believed and did everything the religion asked of her, be the one to suffer this ugly incident. “He did it all for you” is the most hurtfully sarcastic line ever.

[@fatwhiteguy795]

He wasn't just angry at her, he was angry at the other people in her church too. From what I've gleaned from his interviews and stuff over the years, some people acted as though this was punishment for some unseen sin and kind of ostracized her. So "fuck your god" to me always sounded like he was angry at a god that would do this to one of his faithful, but also one who would allow that kind of poor behavior to run rampant in their church. Very interesting song with a lot of layers to peel back.

[@zumazoomzoom7632]

What he said ^^^^

[@tendon121]

Despite being struck down with paralysis for 27 years ( 10000 days ) his mother, Judith Marie, held absolute faith in her God. Several other Tool songs touch on Maynards feelings and frustration about this and about his love for her, especially Wings for Marie pts 1 & 2 which need to be listened to together ( and in this case I think, with lyrics )

[@floridabelle]

Definitely , all of what you said. 👍

[@oneoverprime1608]

He nailed it. Jimmy and The Patient also deal with this subject. Jimmy is from his perspective as a young boy and The Patient from Judith's perspective.

[@benjisplat2]

Spot on. Also, Perfect Circle's Passive is also about his mother I think.

[@franklinzappa7043]

This Jam is a montage of Musical Madness. Perfectly Blended Musicians. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 A PERFECT CIRCLE🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@heyskipj]

Why is Paz putting her hair up in a bun the most metal thing I've ever seen?

[@rx7dude2006]

I love Paz putting her hair up mid song.

[@sarajade5111]

I think my boyfriend said it best when he said that this is one of the most emotionally charged albums ever written. I still listen to it regularly.

[@velvetj9521]

Immediately liked your style and your genuine need to know the origins and deeper meanings to the songs. It shows humility on your part as well that you WANT and ask for help to know the different aspects of the story behind the music. Especially TOOL! Maynard is a pure genius and every song hypnotizes me, AND gives me a headache as well trying to follow the depth of the songs lmao! (It's true though) - Stay safe, take care and keep rockin' ; )

[@edeyboy2931]

Judith Marie was Maynard's mother's name. Her illness and subsequent coma was the inspiration for many of his lyrics and poems. He loved his mother, but he didn't love her God. I'm so glad that you picked that song, 'cause it's definitely one of their more moving tunes with a heavy undertone. I hope it inspired you to check a few more out. Thanks heaps for the vid, man! ☺️

[@ViKingsRacing]

Ooh, mate! You brought it on yourself, this is the begginning of the trilogy about Maynard's mom. Us Tool Army are not going to let you off the hook now until you react to the other two. So I'll start the requests for "Tool - Wings for Marie" (trilogy part2) and "Tool - 10 000 Days" (part3).

[@troytalbot5746]

Brother, gotta do some more NIN, like Ruiner!

[@bonefish2179]

Given the time you originally did this video...you know the story behind the word and how personal this is to MJK. Hoping you do a reaction to "Wings For Marie and 10,000 Day(Wings For Marie Pt 2)....powerful and emotional stuff👍

[@chriscary9269]

From what I get from Menard his interpretation of a higher power comes from the cosmos he thinks the universe we are One with it

[@Mandibles76]

Incredible album!

[@kimmernew19]

Now it’s time to check out Puscifer! New album dropped yesterday and I think it’s fabulous. You’ll get another side of MJK.👌🤘🏻❤️

[@jamespeter203]

“Run like you killed someone “ is my favorite lyric

[@shaunbryan3421]

I'm a rabid tool fan and I haven't gone to your back catalogue so I don't know but if you haven't checked out the band Jinjer. They are a Ukrainian metal band. Pisces live session is the general introduction for reactors, but if you want to see it live I'd suggest perennial live at wacken, or who is going to be the one official video live.

[@nfbuckeye]

I’ve had a crush on Paz (bass player) since I first saw this video over 20 years ago.

[@PowderedToastMan420]

InkFace you have to check out Maynard's third band PUSCIFER. Check out THE REMEDY. 🤞✌

[@michaelcomisse9478]

A million thumbs up. Thats my fave non-tool Maynard song

[@mysticmike9778]

I can do listen to the album V is for vagina all day everyday it has a tribal base that tickles that lizard part of your brain moth to a flame Style

[@chrono050]

LOVE PUSCIFER but they have way better songs then that

[@Nb123022]

YES!!!! The Remedy!!!! Those lyrics🖤

[@shaunwhelan17]

At one point they had the guitarist James Iha in this group. It was a "supergroup" at one point. Loved their sound! Actually loved their second album better

[@GeekFurious]

Once you start down the Maynard's mom journey, you have to listen to a series of songs. Judith is a fine start. Then TOOL's Jimmy, Wings of Marie & 10,000 Days back-to-back, and possibly Jambi.

[@michaelullo2152]

I'd add in "The Patient", as well.

[@DrCrowie]

Jimmy is about himself as a young boy, Jambi has got nothing to with his mother but its a fucking killer track so yea listen!! Jambi is more about his journey through being a well known musician and the temptations he has succumbed to, but also the spiritual enlightening he has personally felt through that journey.

[@voidwraithprime8521]

Listen to Tool's "Wings for Marie" for a much more intimate (and ultimately amazing) glimpse into Maynard's feelings towards his mother's life (and death)

[@jorgecastillo7632]

Please do By and down lyrics by a perfect circle Pusifer the remedy Both of these are the bands of his

[@e36328i]

I thought I was watching Nick Frost doing a Tool reaction. Lol

[@76campzilla88]

Jimmy is also part of the tool moms trilogy

[@watcheroftheskies5444]

PLEASE do Puscifer's 'The Remedy'

[@jamesbarksdale415]

Also give Potions by Puscifer a listen

[@theawakener4360]

This is part of Judith Marie's(his mother)trilogy.This song Judith is about his mom.She was paralyzed.In a commentary he did for this song he said when he said fuck your god he wasnt talked about the actual God but a god that would separate people.The God his mom and many of her religious friends looked up to That would punish and wasn't aligned with love and connection. Next you have to do "Wings for Marie" and then "10,000days" together in 1 video to finish this trilogy

[@anthonypallen7919]

Judith Marie was Maynard's mother

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

I don't know if he really truly despises Christianity or if he is just being honest and questioning. If you take this song on it's own it does seem that way. However if you listen to the later songs about his mother's suffering he seems to grow a lot. It was good to hear this first. Now do JIMMY, THE PATIENT, and lastly WINGS FOR MARIE/10,000 DAYS.

[@anthonypallen7919]

Again all of their songs are amazing . Just different enough from tool, Maynard and Billy both sing(scream) and it's less off tempo. Again all songs esp. the live album at Red rocks, Echo's something something

[@chrisgoodin8707]

educate yourself on the history and in-depth chronicling of Maynard, his mother, the religion, the sickness, and the death as much as you can, then listen to wings part 1 and 2 with the lyrics

[@poncholarpez6233]

To understand a lot of his lyrics, you need to read up on his and his mums journey

[@sharilynbratton6476]

Also apparently some members of his mother's church blamed her for her own condition, asking what sin she'd committed to be punished so; this is addressed more in Wings for Marie where he excoriates these self- righteous people. I think it was the hypocrisy of some Christians that really angered him, and he is asking of his mother how could she stay so faithful to Jesus and take all this abuse. But here he is definitely venting and demanding some answers from Jesus himself it seems.

[@Smith553]

Just a correction, its A Perfect Circle

[@inkface8229]

Cheers Mate Ammended.

[@ralfkohler1303]

Fuck. I've been dippin' in and out your channel for a bit now. Should have subscribed earlier. Apologies, mate.

[@rugby342]

his mom was paralyzed and didnt blame God.........in short but there are others who can explain a bit more.

[@matthewmotiuk2221]

His mum

[@scousemouse9715]

Doesn't have much hold for me.
