Need help with Trolls? Vocal ANALYSIS of Puscifer's "The Remedy"!!!

I'm very familiar with Maynard James Keenan from Tool and A Perfect Circle, but I've never heard him in his band that he's labeled as his "creative subconscious." And did I mention Trolls? Leave it to Maynard to weave such a message with melody and exceptional execution that makes my nerd come out!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Puscifer for the first time, performing "The Remedy”.

[@Mr_Kyle_]

I'd love to hear your reaction and analysis to "Conditions of my Parole", "Monsoon" and "Green Valley", and "The Mission" for a Milla Jovovich cameo

[@ProjectGRIDLOKT]

"Humbling River" by Puscifer should be your next Puscifer song! Carina and Maynard mesh even better with harmonies and perfectly timed layers. Please check it out! It won't disappoint.

[@veenoir1991]

I love that song so much lol

[@chazstone6744]

As good as this song is, Grand Canyon contains Maynard's own personal favorite (if I'm remembering correctly) vocal performance. It's an amazing example of Carina's abitlity to work with unique harmonies, and it also perfectly illustrates the concept of the voice as an instrument; especially at the end.

[@Gideonite]

Yes!!!

[@ProjectGRIDLOKT]

@@chazstone6744 I do love that song too. Really most of Puscifer's work utilizing both vocalists is incredible. This band is a whole experience.

[@bonwhee]

"Momma Sed" is absolutely one of my favorites by Puscifer. The message just gets to me

[@Leviathandk]

Yes!

[@The1rust]

There's a live version of Momma Sed (I forget the venue) which follows an entirely different flow, rhythm, atmosphere and octave from Maynard. I love a lot of what Maynard does live over studio but I think this one easily takes the cake as his best with what is already a great song.

[@flyingardilla143]

Momma Sed is so great.

[@dropkickmolotov]

The what is version is phenomenal

[@adammurrell7583]

If you want a unique Maynard song I have to recommend Passenger by Deftones. He wasn't supposed to guest on it but the band asked him to help write and he ended up getting a lot of vocal work which just elevates the song to a whole other level

[@yp1851]

Yes please! Deftones and Maynard combined ❤ Perfect song.

[@stevenwilliams1805]

@J M this song was for you. 😅😂🤣

[@mikejaygreen]

[@TheCGibby32]

That track is a banger

[@sinfulpsyche]

@J M I want you to know that nobody cares that you feel this way. Its a waste of your time and energy having such an opinion. Music is incredibly subjective so its doesnt make any sense at all for the band to be a "waste of talent". Its obvious that a lot of people like Puscifer and theres absolutely nothing wrong with that. You didn't lose a friend because you dont like the band. You lost a friend because you were an asshole about it. Im not saying this to you to start an argument or to be rude. Im saying this because i hope it helps you change your outlook and just be a happier person who is more accepting of others opinions.

[@TennSeven]

"Bullet Train to Iowa," "The Arsonist," and "Conditions of My Parole" are also excellent Puscifer songs.

Grand Canyon is a great one to hear their voices working together also. And I love Carina's voice in Rev 22:20 live where Maynard sits it out and she sings the song.

[@HaloGrey666]

The mission that Milla Jovovich sang with is incredible, loved that song for years. There's a great live version of it on YT from 2009, still get goosebumps from time to time from it, she nailed it.

[@jonathancapps1103]

Have you heard the Underworld soundtrack? That's the first instance I heard Mila Jovovich sing, and quite possibly my introduction to Puscifer. (It's been a while.) Jovovich and MJK provide backing vocals on a few other tracks on the album, too. It's a ridiculously good collaborative album featuring a lot of good talent.

[@kdcmjk]

The song is called "The Mission." I love it!

[@gcswish]

Tool and A Perfect Circle are amazing groups and Maynard is great, but I think that Puscifer brings out the inner Maynard and let's you see the depths of his musicianship and vocal expression. Can't wait!

[@iancollins65]

I think the early Puscifer was really Maynard’s baby. Now that they have had the same members for a few albums, or at least Mat and Carina, it’s a bit more of a band and not just Maynard. Mat makes many of the musical decisions. It’s kind of a collaboration between him and Maynard and Carina.

[@wammons007]

if you get the chance, see them live. incredible

[@elbeetlebeasto]

I love the contrast of Puscifer from his work on Tool and A Perfect Circle, MJK always came across as such a serious guy to me, but then to see the creatively goofy side of him on Puscifer is awesome. I love it!

[@fkcoolers2669]

Yeah I mean APC isn't even his band - more like he's the singer in Billy's band. Puscifer is definitely the artsy side for Maynard and probably where he's gotten the most creative liberties and freedom.

[@raoulduke8003]

Grand Canyon is an amazing showcase of their vocals. Same album.

[@slayercred]

+1 to grand canyonnnnn!!!

[@patrickperry6735]

If you have the opportunity to experience Puscifer live particularly in a small theatre setting it is so good. I recently went to a show and it was hands down one of the best sounding shows not to loud not to low no echo or horrible feedback just perfect and not to mention very funny and entertaining. Puscifer is as much a must see live as Tool or APC.

[@jameslovekamp8028]

Puscifer is so much better than Tool of APC live. I was blown away by the Existential Reckoning tour

[@bubbasboyngirl]

Just absolutely beautiful vocals! Doesn't matter Tool, APC or Puscifer, it's sonic wizardry!!!!

[@belh4wk]

This, as much as I love artists like Chester Bennington or Mercury, Knopfler, Clapton, Pink Floyd and tons of others, MJK is a sonic god IMO. Just look at what he did for one of Deftone's songs "Passenger"

[@benmason9755]

"Throw an acorn at them and turn them to stone." So happy to learn you're a Willow fan ... yeah, welcome to the Puscifer train, this is definitely Maynard as his weirdest. The Humbling River is a BEAUTIFUL track from these guys, really haunting. Their best stuff to date has, I think come from their newest album - The Underwhelming, Bullet Train To Iowa and Apocalyptical are absolute corkers. And they even covered Bohemian Rhapsody once, and, AMAZINGLY, did a really great job with it too ...

[@madmardagan2059]

I am relevant to this conversation.

[@alexknowlton4038]

@Frustratingly Pragmatic that’s what they said

[@LawnElf]

I recommend "Conditions of my Parole" - the director's cut video. Great song, hilarious video!

[@johnjohn37371]

Carina has had a magnificent solo career as well..she is just a delight.

[@spookyspider1014]

Bedlamite is another Puscifer song that beautifully showcases Maynard and Carina's vocals blending together! As well as just having a very beautiful and reassuring message too! It's so soothing

[@laurahigdon4741]

Carina Round is a treasure, the way her voice blends with Maynard's!

[@SmashleyMF]

I love Puscifer so much! Just saw them in Phoenix in June. Carinas voice plays so well with Maynards 😍

[@Greasyorange]

Puscifer have so many good songs to pick from. But I would have to say the live version of "Momma Sed" is a cut above. Gives me chills just thinking about it. Performance is so moving and flawless. Worth a listen just on its own. 🙂

[@johnjohn37371]

Thank you!...been bitchin on this one forever...it's unbelievably gorgeous!

[@ElgynsToy]

Fully agree. It's special.

[@billlyons7024]

Wow you helped me to hear Carina's voice where I hadn't heard it before. It was so low, almost like a breath, and I had never "separated" it in my mind from the other sounds. But now I hear her!

[@handmadeinportland4125]

Absolutly my favorite Puscifer song. The agressive parts are balanced by the really delicate and subtle parts, the vocal interplay between MJK and Carina, the instrument tones, its all fantastic

[@matthewhead1465]

Puscifer’s sound is all over the map compared to Maynard’s other bands. Some of it is quite heavy like this song, or “The Arsonist” or “Conditions of my Parole” (which is a brilliant and very funny song btw). Then you get stuff like “The Humbling River” and “Momma Sed” which are a lot softer. All of their sounds are sublime however. Maynard and Carina are a magnificent vocal pairing and the result has been the absolute masterclass that is Puscifer. If you can find a live version of “Momma Sed” it’s brilliant, especially the end where Carina’s line “this too shall pass” harmonizes majestically with Maynard’s vocals.

[@marcboag]

Still hoping for the analysis of Alice in chains - love hate love - live at the moore. It's Layne Staley at his finest and the best example I think you'll ever see of someone stance helping them with the notes

Yes, I suggested the same before. That was an epic performance.

[@ssort69]

Yeah I think she would really love that performance.

[@mortis3019]

Love this song. Can't wait to hear your analysis.

[@porschetarga4s]

Mahsa Zargaran is at the keyboard. She also does backing vocals. The higher vocals in duet with Carina. So not all is Carina. This gives it another extra layer, which is awesome!

[@TheHallbjorn]

This is one of my favorite songs in the world and it always gives me a huge grin each listen. I'm struck by its self-assured power which slowly builds upon the melodic/harmonic elements, which is then fulfilled by such a wry and satisfying chorus. The drum beat sounds to me like a boxer training on a punching bag, which feels on-theme for the song. Also, not sure why no one is addressing the sheer humor of the lyrics.

[@kevinhampton6986]

Mahsa Zagaran (the keyboard player) is singing backing vocals here. She has a solo project called Omniflux. Also, the bassist is Paul Barker, who was a longtime member of industrial band Ministry and solo as Lead Into Gold. This lineup of Puscifer had a really interesting variety of musicians.

[@ComicalHealing]

I surprised Elizabeth missed her.

[@orbislame]

Some suggestions for other Pusifer songs: Humbling River - my personal favorite from them The Mission - featuring guest singer Milla Jovovich Potions - a song Maynard co-wrote with Trent Reznor Conditions of My Parole - an example of Maynard’s weird sense of humor (especially if you include the music video) Bonus Maynard: Perfect Circle’s “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish,” might be the only song Maynard sings in a major tone Great analysis! Love to see you talk about all of Maynard’s work. Thanks for all your videos.

[@pernopt]

Potions is a masterpiece

[@amandawestbrook6848]

"Horizons" from the Conditions of my Parole album is another piece about Maynard dealing with the death of his mother. It's still mournful but a lot less angry than APC's Judith and TOOL's Wings for Marie pt 1&2. I don't know if it's right for the channel as it's not the most interesting piece but it is still very beautiful and definitely worth listening to. It's about Maynard spreading his mother's ashes at his Arizona vineyard and watching the wind carry it away.

[@sansi5435]

I still remember when Puscifer accidentally showed up in my recommendations, this was a very WEIRD song to hear out of context lmao

[@phrike7588]

You nailed it on the head, Puscifer is a very tongue in cheek kind of band. Maynard's lyrics have always held meaning, but I find more often than not with Puscifer, the wit and sarcasm are just on another level.

[@josephallen9102]

This whole album is amazing. If you only pick one other song on this album it should be Augustina.

[@helzapoppin9810]

I really love what Maynard has done with Puscifer. You have GOT to hear the live version of Momma Sed from "What Is Puscifer?" It's a complete reimagining of the album version and is amazing.

Puscifer is one of the most amazing live shows I have ever seen. I got to see him with Corina a few years back when the first full album came out. This song was amazing live. They performed in a boxing ring and the opening act was luchador wrestling. Maynard wore a full 3 piece suit and luchador mask for the entire show and never showed his face.

[@Eduardo-ku9hb]

Puscifer is really amazing. They have so nmany subtle details in their music but at the same time is fairly "simple" to enjoy it easily. This album and the latest one has some great vocals from Maynard and Carina. They slowly became my fav Maynard's project The Arsonist, Galileo and Bullet Train to Iowa are some interesting songs. They also have some pretty good live performances if you want to check them out

[@raidonbay]

I so very much enjoy all of your breakdowns of our favorite bands. When it comes to Maynerd, you can truly bring to light something special in his rhythm of vocals. Concerning Tool, He and Danny will bounce back and forth for leading the rhythm, but this is not noticeable to many people. It is always something that I appreciate in their music.

One thing about Maynard is that he doesn't seem to want to be recognized. In all of his photoshoots and videos, they either don't show his face, or show him with a different hairstyle. He gets to be one of the most famous musicians in the world, but most fans don't even know what he looks like.

Have you seen any live Tool performances in the last 20+ years? MJK stands beside the drums and remains out of the stage lights. As for his hairstyle, he's bald. I don't know if it's natural or shaved, but he wears different wigs depending on which band he's performing with. I've read that it helps him "get into the character" of the band.

This is a great example of Puscifer. Some songs can be aggro, but for the most part this band is very harmonic and beautiful. Grand Canyon is a great song! So is Bedlamite. Really they've never put out even a sub-par song, much less a bad one, you really can't go wrong!

I am so happy to see you taking a look as some Puscifer. As a life long fan of TOOL and A Perfect Circle, i love those bands very much, but Puscifer is where Maynard does his best work. The other bands are great, but they are Maynard in a mix with other incredible musicians with a profound influence on the final product, which makes them beautiful and amazing. Puscifer however is mainlining Maynard's particular brand of creativity and vision, and it showcases him in a way that neither of the other bands ever can. Please do more Puscifer. Horizons is great, but i really would love to see someone with your skill take a look at The Humbling River.

Have you ever heard "My Brightest Diamond"? She has some degree in Classical Vocal singing but she also plays guitar and instruments.

This song is therapy for me, I really love your passion and respect for the music! Seeing you react to it makes me feel the same way I felt the first time I heard it haha. :)

Hello Elizabeth, First of all, I would like to thank you for your work and for highlight all these great metal singers (but not only!). May be as you already know, for many years metal music has suffered from a bad reputation among the mainstream audience who don't understand this music and for the majority of them still think it's just noise (at least in my country France, it's still the case and despite the success of an extreme music festival like the Hellfest !!!). So a huge thank you to you for showing through your videos and with your experience as an opera singer the power and quality of metal and the great talent of its musicians. I would like to suggest to you one of my favorite band of Swedish Prog Metal called Pain of Salvation. If you don't know this band yet, its singer, Daniel Gildenlöw, has an incredible and charismatic voice I find and their songs are really rich and interesting (harmonics used, dissonance tones, polyrhythm, jazz and classical inspiration, etc.). You could try listening to songs like "Used", "Ashes", "Fandango" or "The Perfect Element" but to give you a quick idea, here is a link to discover Daniel Gildenlöw and the music of Pain of Salvation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmK0gGSalrBpbpo Thank a lot and see you to the next video. ^-^ Kiss from France

I really like Carina's vocals as an accompaniment in this song, but I have to admit that Milla Jovovich (of Resident Evil fame) singing with Maynard in " THE MISSION " was super cool as well for a completely different reason. She doesn't even have a 'great' singing voice (IMO) but it suites the song perfectly. I'd love to hear your opinion on why it works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6O0gHWZe8t4oJI

WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?

The ropes and stuff in the video connect to an ongoing theme Pucifer uses- Lucha libre. That's Mexican style wrestling- which translated loosely means "free fight" which refers to the freedom of the fighting style- you do whatever you need to do to win. They always have these guys on stage with them- in their lucha masks, there is a certain style of mask the wrestlers wear that's traditional to the Lucha Libre style. Maynard always poses as their manager- I don't get the gag tbh but, Maynard seems to love it. The last Pucifer concert I went to these guys came out in their masks and posed throughout the whole show- changing poses and sticking out their tongues at everyone- it was weird. Maynard himself is into jujitsu- he's actually quite good and widely respected by guys who practice and know of his skills. I've seen him take down a guy who ran up on stage- Maynard aint playing around, he's very capable. He had the guy wrapped up on the stage, face down- in seconds. Then he just laid on top until security came and took the moron off stage.

I saw them during the Money Shot tour too (in Australia) and it was a super entertaining performance for sure, they also brought out robotic chickens for a cock fighting gag too I’m not sure if they did that every time but it was super wild all up.

It was a live version of Pushit by Tool... He held the guy down for like 10 minutes while he kept singing the song and he was constantly looking around for security to take the dude off the stage.. he even pats the guy on the back softly a few times letting him know he wasn't trying to hurt him.. lol.. it's Fucking hilarious.. Maynard is the GOAT... I love all 3 of his bands so much... They all 3 have amazing musicians and they all sound completely different from each other... I love acoustic songs alot.. unfortunately TOOL never does unplugged or Acoustic versions of their music... Which is unfortunate 4° is the closest thing to acoustic that Tool does.. it's awesome too.. there's a guy on KZbin named Marc Durkee that does an absolutely amazing acoustic version of The Patient by Tool .. it is definitely a must see/hear video... It only has 40k views in 4 yrs and it deserves way more views... Dude has a killer voice.. he also cuts back and forth between playing acoustic guitar and electric piano and singing into a studio mic... He seamlessly edits all 3 parts to make it perfect...

Thank you SO MUCH for doing an analysis on this song, on the band. I hope you continue to explore Puscifer on your channel. "Humbling River", "Mama Said", there's so much incredible work in this sideproject of Maynard. Loved this review!

[@Doubius]

I naively never expected you to break this one down! How foolish of me! All the times I've listened to it I never really accounted for all the nuances that your highly trained ear pulled out of it.. Excellent video and thank you!

[@Snake3004]

Please check out more Blind Guardian. Try "Violent Shadows", their brand new single.🤘🏻

[@brianware8934]

I suggest CrazyEightyEight - “Shinebox” (live one-take performance by Lauren Babic) voice of an angel, scream of a demon. Love iiitttt.

[@kenpachi4iv]

Release the Babic

Carina Round is one of my favorite artists whom i feel is criminally underrated! I think it would be really cool if you reacted to one of her solo songs, Elizabeth! anything from "The Disconnection" would be great. "Tigermending" has a lot of good songs too! She is a fantastic and unique vocalist with a crazy range. I haven't listened to a ton of Puscifer, but from what i've heard she doesn't get a lot of time to shine!
