It's like, this is going to get nasty need my hair up. Paz did bring on some vocals and played a mean pace here. Agree Darthmuppet. Stay Safe.🤟

[@SuneTheMairn]

Every single time. I fell in love with her when I saw that the first time. Also casually wearing high heels during this bad ass har hitting song. And her tone lifting Maynard's scream to an angelic kinda level. Perfect

[@alexnewfield]

11… hence the Tool song 11.

[@TheBismarck-th6sf]

Maynard wrote this song about his anger with his mother's faith in spite of being left paralyzed due to an aneurysm and stroke. In Wings for Marie and 10000 Days, which was written a few years after this, his frustration has moved onto his mother's congregation who had blamed her condition on her sins and other things out of her control. Also in 10,000 Days, he reveres his mother as a "pillar of faith" while lambasting her congregation as "hypocrites". It's basically a song about forgiveness after a long period of animosity.

[@chriswebb7822]

Good post!

[@rayellzappey2014]

Thanks for doing this reaction. His mother's church was strict Christians and didn't believe in using modern medicine. Even though she was paralyzed she believed God would heal her. Her church even convinced her that she deserved what was happening to her. But Maynard actually apologizes to his mom for making the song before she died.

Nice! You actually researched the meaning of this song, you always need to read Maynards lyrics, he tells it like it is!

[@nikkikat1325]

Not true at all. Maybe let Maynard speak on this

[@tonyzahn8911]

APC's second album Thirteenth Step is one of a very few albums where I can listen to the full thing, front to back repeatedly and never get tired of it. "The Noose" and "The Outsider" are definitely worth checking out.

[@thomastaylor9579]

AGREED, I currently have it in my old school 5-disc changer along with some AIC & MAD SEASON Above live at the Moore which I can listen to all day..

[@Is.this.thing.on-]

One of the best albums of the early 2000’s, imo. The full video for “The Outsider” is a must see for any fan.

Absolute masterpiece for sure! Listen in order of course, as it's a concept album.

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Maynard's and Billy's harmonies are AMAZING!!! ✌️

[@alpo6668]

And Paz

[@jams_world81]

Billy was a guitar tech for Tool for a long time, he had this songs and Maynard wanted to bring them to alive while Tool was going through legal battles. He had no idea how much it was going to take off. Billy is super talented and he has a great solo album as well.

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Maynard always surrounds himself with talented people. ✌️

APC is so easy on the ears and heavy on the heart.

[@peregrinehp4261]

Second best band in the world. Tool still holds the #1 title

[@coustryemmanuel1631]

Best album of the year 2000 in my opinion this "Mer de noms"... a David Fincher video for this song... A perfect Circle is such an amazing band... seriously in love with "Eat the Elephant", their last record... thanks for this one... again ! 😀 Peace !

[@d112cons]

I'm a Christian. That's the first point. I've eagerly shown this song - with the lyrics - to others who share my faith to let them know exactly how wrong forgetting love for each other can go. I hate that Judith was so callously abandoned by those who should have supported her, and will never suggest that Maynard should feel any different. Those most responsible for helping were the ones that turned their backs, and I can think of no greater insult one human can lay on another. Sing loud and often MJK - this will always matter.

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Crazy thing is he wrote these lyrics when he was 13

[@jennywilkinson5069]

APC live at Red Rocks is so amazing. They sound so good live. React to some of the songs from that show. You won’t be disappointed! Great reaction as always!!! ❤️‍🔥

[@sevsimoreacts]

Awesome will do thank you! 😊🙏

[@hedonicmusic]

Mer de Noms is one of my Fav albums of all time. its just amazing back and forth.

[@Lateralus138]

Just a correction: this is not "Maynard's other band", this is Billy's band with Maynard singing for him as sort of a reoccurring guest. Billy was Adam's (from Tool) guitar tech, but also had his own music. Also the other members were already famous in their own right; Paz Lenchantin (the woman) was already famous from Pixies and Josh was in Vandals and all of them have done plenty of other stuff. Troy went on to QOTSA which is another of my favorite bands you may want to check out.

[@laurabuer4714]

Ah, you left out James Iha!

[@Lateralus138]

@@laurabuer4714 Yeah, my bad, but he wasn't on the first album so I always forget about him being in the band. The newer stuff is okay, but the first album is really the only one I listen to religiously. Thirteenth Step was okay, but nothing compares to Mer for me. I'm an old SP enthusiast though, I'm from Illinois and grew up watching them in small shows before they got big and Gish and Siamese Dream are two of my favorite albums of all time.

[@laurabuer4714]

@@Lateralus138 Holy moly, you are so right! I was in error for thinking he was a part of APC in Mer de Noms. My apologies. And I love, love, love SP.

[@jimbojones8978]

Definitely a heavy song lyrically. Thanks for reacting. No need to get too into the weeds on it or controversial about it. Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you are intrigued to look at more. Puscifer Mama Sed is a great one if you want to venture out into his 3rd band. The other 2 bands Maynard is in are just good fun.

[@RunawayOcelot]

Always love to watch Paz bun her hair!

[@bigdaddypiggy]

I saw APC on the 1st tour they did of the states at a venue called Bender Arena on the campus of GW in DC & they didn’t even have chairs but bleachers along the walls…..such a great show 🤤🖤

[@peregrinehp4261]

Try Orestes live at Red Rock. Probably the best live performance ever recorded. The sound is amazing

[@ModoTronic666]

I believe Josh Freese is drumming on this track. He's no Danny Carey but he's excellent and has a great drum tone. A Perfect Circle gets into some very different "lighter" tracks with aren't bad but the community will tell which ones are good enough for #teamchoppydrops. The Outsider is another great tune off a different album.

[@DusteyeMC]

[@56kwith200ping]

The Irony is "I did it all for you" is flipped back on Maynard in the end. He learned humbleness from no better teacher in the world than his own loving Mother. Some say he found God in some way (Wings 2) and I hope he made peace with him. I pray he did. The guy is a genius.

[@chriswebb7822]

The most 'Tool' song in their discography...Very diverse group, and crazy good!! Start with their Thirteenth Step album and do it in order, it's one the greatest concept albums ever! Life changing for many, you'll understand after listening, seriously!

[@alastorgreenwood4220]

I highly recommend their last album - Eat the Elephant. My favorite songs from this album, is Disillusioned, The Contrarian, The Doomed and Feathers. Other songs are good too, but these i just love more.

[@info145]

Don't forget one other focal point: Paz Lenchantin is enchanting!

[@KlooKloo]

This is the 2nd best music video ever. There's NOTHING that captures what a "recording of people playing music" in a more badass way than what David Fincher did here. Nothing will ever top how amazingly cool it is, how sick it makes Maynard and Billy and Josh and Troy look playing the song... Not to mention Paz, whom Fincher obviously took a liking to and kinda revolved the camera around the whole time.

[@bigscountrygame3510]

Epic! So chuffed you’re now experiencing A Perfect Circle! I’ll enjoy your journey mate! 😎

[@vaughnnewman8903]

More genius from Maynard. Judith is his Mother. The Tool album 10,000 Days refers to the length of time that she suffered from her disease. Judith is Maynard's questioning of his Mother's continued faith in God despite he being the one that did this to her. Mer De Noms and Thirteenth Step are great albums. Great having another side to Maynard with APC; he always surrounds himself with amazing musicians.

[@rhiannonleejames7173]

SO GOOD to see you do something from APC! They have such a great catalogue of music! Thirteenth Step is my fave album APC 💛 #TEAMCHOPPPYDROPS

Now it's time for Jimmy. It's his perspective as an 11 year old when his mom became ill. Jimmy, Judith, wings for Marie, 10,000 days.

[@MrDuanepalmer]

APC is about to become your second favorite band. Try Orestes, live at RedRocks.

[@delmarhi]

At this point, Maynard was trying to reconcile his mother’s (what he grew up with) faith and how she is this saintly pillar and was struck down and never questioned….. after her death the songs are dealing with the grief and finally coming to terms with it all.

[@geoffwheeler6602]

Heard this the night it premiered on Triple J and had to pull over, bought the album the minute it released love it so much!

I'm a life long Christian, and this song has always caused such mixed emotions in me. The lyrics always make me recoil a bit, but the energy and passion and pain in the performance, especially that last refrain consistently brings tears to my eyes. I've heard this song probably 100 times in my life. I love tool and APC, and it never ceases to get a massive emotional response from me.

[@eagle5818]

The song is so thoroughly clueless and ignorant on Christianity but the sheer raw emotions that the singer is portraying still gives me goosebumps and they did an amazing job on this song.

[@rhiannonleejames7173]

I suggest : 'Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums' from their album 'Emotive', it is a remixed/re-imagined version of the song 'Pet' from the Thirteenth Step album 🧡🎶

It was a personal song for Maynard Judith was his mother's name and the other songs are great

[@brianbetts5637]

His mother was paralised, the church said it was becasue she was a bad person. He disagrees with that whole concept that she was bad so this is why it happened and this is his disaproval for her still following the people who told her it was her fault. I relate because I lived through a similar thing I was incapable of seperating the bad people from the beliefs my mother had until I was much older.

[@jvmidgley]

Hey bro, sounds like you more or less got the meaning of the song. It's a tough one, and good on you for reviewing it. It's got a lot of tough lyrics, and it's challenging for many reasons, not least of which is that the whole song asks whether god or any concept of a benevolent god could possibly exist. You were able to skillfully sidestep that controversial aspect of it and focus on the emotional and musical aspects, and you did a great job. This is obviously something written by Maynard in the wake of his mother's illness / passing, and your fidelity in the matter is not unnoticed. Cheers
