A Perfect Circle - The Outsider (live)

[@RyanRabbit514]

I've revisited this video several times over the years. I'm still convinced that this is the best vocal performance by anyone ever.

[@cucabeludo4508]

ArseSeeSee watch dreamer deceiver/deceiver live

[@gabehurtado9485]

ArseSeeSee agreed!

[@EdvardasK]

Same!

[@The_John_Serrano]

Crimson's Ade Belew, any 80s-90s performance. Huge influence on MJK. But this is absolutely incredible.

[@AllhailtheUS]

Absolutely. 15 years after being released, I STILL get goosebumps watching this. Instant time travel back to 2005-ish and how dark my life was...literally one of the only reasons I'm still on this planet is because the music saw me through, ESPECIALLY Tool & APC.

[@TheRonloco]

The scream of Maynard James Keenan, gives me chills up my spine🥇🕸

[@TheRonloco]

Play on 🔁 repeat please, recommend from the CEO of #aperfectcircle

[@a.colleenfray2138]

Always on pitch. He’s amazing

[@Songbird888]

He braces himself like a strongly rooted tree and executes that perfect scream ❤

[@Chad-sp4hq]

​@@Songbird888he's definitely into some symbolic sh9t

[@putman7364]

Its too bad they didnt focus on him completely during that scream. The cutaway really takes away for the scream.

[@jessesvec]

At 3:09 Maynard goes into '98 Maynard from Tool dance only to realize 5 seconds later he's mixed up his side project with his main.

[@lucassmith4524]

+DicloniDactyl just what the fuck is this 'Tool Mode' you speak of??? Come off it...please...for your friends and family. Don't be that guy

[@HuskerF-inDu]

+Lucas Smith If you don't believe his movements and styles are different from band to band then you're either extremely naive or just plain stupid. Open your eyes and look, how about you don't be "that guy"

[@WizardoflonelinessNV]

Ha! I'm totally not the only one who noticed that then. I've watched this video way too many times to count and every single time I wait for him to go into Tool Mode

[@stainonthewall5418]

+jessesvec its how he pushes the vocals wtf

[@icthree3235]

He probably stopped because of hip pain.

[@Link-ji7kx]

Billy is one of the most creative guitar players. Sorely underrated.

[@Steelals]

Love him! Much better than the girl

[@SophiaAphrodite]

He was Tools guitar tech.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

@@Steelals yet she can play bass better than anyone you know.

[@shanebrady568]

You can actually see how deep down he has to push himself. Like the way he contorts his body to get just the right sound he wants. It's amazing!!!

[@painboy66]

bruh the vocals are awesome, but I don't think that's how it works😅😂

[@JM-dc5rn]

​@@painboy66diaphragmic singing is how it works.

[@mackpunch368]

@@JM-dc5rnactually it’s all about placement, Maynard makes a lot of ehh,uhh,ahhh sounds which are more nasal placed sounds.

[@mackpunch368]

@@JM-dc5rnif you slow the video you can see his nose twitch or tense

Josh Freese is an amazing drummer!

wasnt he on paramore?

[@belnordgertfordiii643]

Yeah....also gotta love the shirt!

[@StoneAndEcho]

💯

[@talkingbizheads4315]

I started covering this song in my band I just love the drum part. I am at the point where I can play it about 99% the way Josh does on the album.

[@chrislarkin4827]

So is Brad Wilk

[@geetergrl46]

Only Maynard can pull off those f'd up braids. I am mesmerized by him.

[@lumensss5869]

is anyone else wildly attracted to maynard because of his voice alone? I mean the raw power and emotion in his singing is driving me insane,I cannot even explain it...

[@amyrick4352]

Yes.

[@inkbl0t3tatface43]

It's an odd connection, but he made me realize that I could be attracted to hand writing. I have a crush on a girls hand writing that i cannot have

[@ChippXelNaga]

my ex-fiance wanted to fuck his voice

[@MuseCatherine]

Me too. Instant lady boner.

[@MattWeismiller1994]

You forgot to mention his level of intellect too. He's able to read Carl Jung and understand him.

[@AllHomesteading]

Such a mess, I'm over this, over aaarrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I truly love this version. Come back to it often.

[@WickedEyz]

This is one of the best Live performances ever in the Human History period!

Of this song? Probably. Otherwise, calm yo self.

HAHA my thoughts too! When I first saw that shirt I was like "right on!"

[@jessepinkeye2339]

Even Black Sabbath loves Brad Wilk!

[@leons.kennedy1571]

When I first saw it, I couldn’t see the whole thing and thought it said “I ❤️ Brazil”, especially since Maynard trains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Then I saw it actually said Brad Wilk and was like FUCK YES!

[@zero71234]

It seems it was a bet he lost that's why he's wearing it

[@bradsanders407]

Many of my ex's and no I'm not.

[@chadrat39]

Everyone will have their day

[@gl3510]

Very impactful song on several levels...musically solid...lyrically important. as a fan it f..kn rocks...as a retired mental health worker stabs me in the heart.

[@kat1york]

Seems it's the "mental health workers" loss. Sorry she/he hurt you. 😔

[@diannea360]

I love you MJK.

[@zefferychavez]

Maynard's awesome body movements are a testament to his absolute mastery as a vocalist in all aspects. If you look at his body (Or if you have ever sang with a backline behind you as punchy/fucking godly & beautifully loud as TooL/APC is..) you'll see he's projecting and moving on certain phrasings or screams to gather and feel for the right placements within his body for projection and he also balances himself in his own nessicary way's to absolutely fucking belt it over all that power.. Maynard is truly one of the best Rock frontmen ever to front the mic. People often forget Vocals is a body instrument, not a throat instrument. His movements signify his care, training and passion for the song and the music over everything and anything else. He is A true artist and master musician. Z.

[@Nopaants]

Yet many of his movements are counter to an optimal vocal posture. Hunching over the mic is a perfect example of this yet his voice is still commanding and powerful.

[@Quadz10]

@@Nopaants I huntch over on some phrases to “visually” get the resonating placement above my mouth (Mask/Nose/cheeks). It’s definitely not taught to do this, but when you use compression/tissue distortion/diaphragm throws it actually helps so much. Crazy how everyone is different and our brains need visually leading in many different ways to arrive at the same spot…🤘

[@Quadz10]

Couldn’t have said it better!… he’s a legend and my personally favorite vocal/writer influence. Just a brilliant instrument he is.

[@Nopaants]

@@Quadz10 he is an absolute vocal pro.

[@Quadz10]

@@Nopaants agreed. He’s out so much vocal coach/technique time in that nobody talks about… it shows!

[@JanoRodley]

2:42 What a feeling!! this is a really good drummer, he hits it hard. Like if you are watching this in 2023.

[@Alekseyyyyyy]

I saw this video and his t-shirt when it first aired. A few months later I had the opportunity to meet Audioslave in Toronto and I asked Brad Wilk how his buddy Maynard was doing. He said great and that he was working on a new album, which later turned out to be 10,000 Days.

[@michaelreiss8795]

I actually had the pleasure of watching this live. All these years later it still kicks ass.

[@Crod_]

Literally the best live performance of any song ever...

[@Syclone0044]

In my opinion that goes to TV On The Radio for their Letterman performance of Wolf Like Me. Search for "wolf like me Letterman" on KZbin and click the one that says "HD and in sync". (They actually performed this same song on Letterman on 2 or 3 different years!! Yeah really!)

[@pame7911]

haha yes

[@stephennewman497]

That Third eye live performance is hard to beat, best live Maynard performance I have seen! Third Eye. Look it up!

[@stipeur]

Try with TOOL then lol

[@lawrencestowe7070]

Was doing this as I read your comment.

[@sickie1961]

It is fucking magnificent. The best part of any song I have ever heard, and I've been listening to music for at least 45 years

[@kollinasbury]

You won't believe this but I will amuse you regardless, I actually saw them perform this song just after the release of this album when this song was actually a hit on the mainstreaming channels... well anyways, I happened to be in the arena where a "girlfriend" of Jame's and her father happened to be attending since this was Grand Rapids Michigan in the year 2003. December 9th to be precise. Look it up.... So! Anyhow, I met her and her father and got to ask some personal questions about "the man" and also got to tell them to tell him that he had a really huge fan out in the crowd and to see if he would allow me to come back stage with them because at intermission they were to go backstage and I was being rude and asking them how they were getting to go back stage. Well needless to say, they came out after intermission and he made some strange physical gesticulations in my direction and I swear we made eye contact as I held my hat in the air as to gesticulate back in that direction "hats off, to 'the man'." Then he screamed that last part all the way up until what you declared as the best part in the song. Which, I am not arguing that point only pointing out that if you heard that scream he did that night all the way up until that next part in the song you might agree that would be technically the best part (live) is all I'm sayin'

[@increasement]

@@kollinasbury Sounds like a pretty standard connection with Nard. He's reserved on the record but cares a lot about his fans, & connects subtly. That sounds like a super epic moment! Can u imagine how many amazing moments like that a singer as present as Maynard has had? Must be so fun!

[@HeyYaKnow]

Maynard's voice is easily the most underrated in musical history, and he's a famous musician..

[@undericesinger]

[@Songbird888]

Ughhh. Longtime Tool fan. This just came up in my mix. First listen and was loving it. Instantly recognized Maynard's voice. The struggle is real, as Maynard said it's not like a sprained ankle you can just walk off. Lyrics from the prospective of the Outsider (whom just doesn't get it), and just All so great. Then I stop and watch and Maynard's shirt says I ❤ BRAD WILK... Total LOVE!! Added to several lists while currently on a loop❤❤❤❤ Long live the WIZARD!!!

Best voice period

[@lijax9606]

Badass performance

[@neonblack211]

The songs on Thirteenth Step for the most part are about the various processes of addiction, behavioral addictions, chemical addictions, and each song is kind of sung from a different perspective. I have a lot of friends who've gone through a lot of these situations. Some of the songs are sung from the perspective of the actual drug, from the perspective of someone who has realized that they have an issue or a problem, also from the perspective of a person who realizes that if they don't do something they're going to die, a song from the perspective of a person who is in denial about a loved one, dying right before their eyes. And in the case of "The Outsider", it's sung from the perspective of a person who doesn't understand at all what their friend is going through, what their loved one is going through, and they think that it's more like a sprained ankle; they can just kind of walk it off."[10]

[@eclecto]

One of the most powerful, passionate and flawless performances ever aired on the history of tv. And Maynard didn’t even sing at his full potential👌🏽
