When Paz pulls her hair back, to rip it after the break, is one of the hottest moments in a music video ever.

Ha, Paz Lenchantin was teenage me's obsession when this song first came out

[@i_notold8500]

The story where Paz becomes interested in rock music is pretty cool. When she first came to the USA she was in a store with her Dad and heard rock music for the first time on the PA system. She said she knew thats what she wanted to do with her life, be in a rock band, and she was only 9 or 10 at the time.

I was in the same exact situation with my Mother, which makes this song so much more powerful and personal for me. The true test of great music is its ability to cross generations.

[@seamusburke639]

3:45 I never noticed Paz putting her hair up before. It's like when you turn your ballcap backwards. Like, "Time to get serious."

Omg. You are totally showing your age XD

[@WonderMommaOG]

💬Girl power! On the bass guitar in this song is Paz Lenchantin (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paz_Lenchantin), current member of the band, Pixies. She’s had a 24 year career in the music business and has a lot to show for it. To be honest… she had me the moment the camera focused on her shoes the first time. 🤷🏻‍♀😅 I hope you all enjoy this one and onto the next! ~insert Dr. Evil pinky finger to lips meme here~ I have been waiting almost since the beginning of this journey to do this next one! 🤫

[@MetalClown1974]

This is one of my favorite A Perfect Circle songs. Every member of the band brings something to the table.

[@jw5954]

I saw A Perfect Circle in Minneapolis years and years ago and Paz took off her bass and stood by the drums, then she ran and jumped into the crowd and crowd surfed a little bit and then got back on stage and Maynard helped her put her bass back on and continued to jam

[@bigsarge8795]

Fun fact : David Fincher ( Seven ) directed this video. Paz could not put her hair up fast enough, so Fincher just sped up the sequence

[@enriquecordero6271]

This song is about his mom Judith, she was a devoted Christian, and she ended up being paralyzed for 27 years. A lot of people so-called Christians question her, why God did that to her if she never did anything wrong to him. She used to say, "Your God is not my God. Your Christ is not my Christ." He knows the reasons why, and I'm gonna stay devoted to Him. Maynard said it in an insulting way to the people who questioned his mom. Fuck your God, your Christ. My mom is a true Christian. Because she never questioned why. Listen to Wings for Mary Part 2. When Judith dies and goes to heaven. Is the continuation of this song in the Tool album 10,000 days. The 27 years Judith was paralyzed.

[@seandobson6221]

Maynard is a musical genius! This song was about him asking why his mother who was a devout Christian and had a stroke. He was asking her why she follows a God who would let her be sick.

[@ElPato7272]

Lucifer is the ruler of this world, even Jesus acknowledges that. We need to escape with our souls to be with God. Most don’t understand this

@@ElPato7272 The problem is is that is not comforting to people who don't have belief. You can't tell somebody who rejects the idea of a deity and the afterlife to just trust the process, that's not how it works

[@ElPato7272]

@@TheCatabolicTrex I do understand that. What Maynard was dealing with I’m sure hurt his faith. He wouldn’t have asked if he hadn’t believed in the first place. This is why so many lose faith when they don’t realize who is creating all this sin, death, and disease. It’s not God but many put God as the arbiter of all that happens on earth. I was explaining that after the garden Satan was the boss. He doesn’t own the Earth he’s in charge basically making it Hell we all thought was somewhere else. The lake of fire is only from judgement day. We’re in Hell now because of who the boss is. Jesus recognized that more than once. So if he originally had faith he failed to understand God wasn’t the one who put in place the things to make her and all of us sick. I could go in and on but maybe you already lost your faith or never had it. But if you step back and look at it maybe you’ll see that we need to escape this Hell to have peace

Ladies on bass in music is rare but there are a few bands now and then that do have one. Two bands that come to mind. White Zombie and Smashing Pumpkins. Both of the women that played bass in those bands are awesome. Also there's a young band out there that comes from Mexico that's an all sisters band. And the youngest one is the bassist and she's absolutely amazing.

[@shotaholic1]

[@mcgreggers99]

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 hundreds of times in my life. I love tool and APC, and it never ceases to get a massive emotional response from me.

[@mslau-kr5ef]

I never took this song to be completely anti-Christian, and Maynard in his comments over the years doesn’t seem to be explicitly anti-Christian either. Maynard’s dispute seems to be with a kind of faith that lacks questioning, or that does not recognize its own shortcomings. There are real questions for the faithful about why a loving God allows so much unending suffering. Faith cannot be a matter of blind acceptance if it is to make any sense. In the face of so much evidence against a loving God, it should be a constant struggle to reaffirm your faith, and to continue believing. To be truly faithful, you must acknowledge how damn difficult it is to keep that faith. And to blindly accept is to lose that fight. That’s what I understand as Maynard’s message in this song when taken with the fuller context of his comments over time.

[@ericprdu69]

Same here

[@rift8966]

The song isn't exactly about Maynard's opinion on religion, per se... It's about his mother and her unwavering devotion to God. His mother's name was _Judith._ His mother was always a devout Christian, and one day she got sick, which caused her to have a stroke and left her paralyzed. In spite of this, her faith never wavered. The song is Maynard's anger and frustration with her for being so devoted to "something" that crippled her despite her devotion. She passed away a few years ago, and one of Tool's albums (Maynard is also the lead singer for Tool, incase anyone didn't already know this), "10,000 Days", is titled after the approximate amount of time she spent in a wheelchair and in constant pain. The song "10,000 Days (Wings for Mary; part 1 and 2)" has to do with her devotion, death, and his grief. It's kind of brutal listening to this song, and then listening to "Wings for Mary part 2", because the songs are on completely different sides of the "spectrum", so to speak.

[@echopryme]

I get that. 💯 I'm a MASSIVELY lapsed Catholic, but it still feels a bit like blasphemy to rock out to this song. 🤣💯 I still do though... because I realize that its all a reboot of a story from Babylon, honestly (same origin stories... look it up 💯) But that "Catholic Guilt" loves to show up when I'm jamming to a song. 😂😂😂

[@rosa-gw1xm]

judith is an incredibly emotional song about maynards anger towards the church after his mother's congregation turned her away when she became paralyzed, telling her that what happened to her was probably her fault. she was in pain and suffering for 27 years. when she died, maynard wrote wings for marie and 10,000 days (a rough estimate of how many days there are in 27 years), two parts of one song about grieving her, accepting her death, and the pain of moving on. listening to judith and then both parts of wings for marie is truly incredible and moving.

[@mindslayer8252]

I have seen TOOL 3 times and APC once. When I saw APC Maynard was singing from the backside of the stage, and he eventually came out through smoke wearing his Pucifer outfit (blond wig mustache blue suit) 🤣🤣🤣 it was so wild.

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

At first listen, “Judith” appears to be a straightforward rock song, filled with heavy guitars and powerful vocals. However, the lyrics tell a much deeper story. The song is dedicated to Maynard James Keenan’s mother, Judith Marie Garrison, who suffered from a stroke that left her paralyzed. The lyrics are a poignant reflection on Maynard’s struggle with faith in the face of his mother’s illness. He questions the existence of a higher power and grapples with the unfairness of her condition.

Paz. Paz Lechantin. Argentinian virtuoso bass player. And with the first strike, #Momma hit a geyser. We fans have certain things we like about our fave videos, and for me, it was Paz tying up that hair in the break. (I have long hair. When I do it, it looks like hand to hand combat.) And before a note is played, I get to see a dozen young men notice Paz tying up her hair. Out. Standing. To say I've been drooling for this one for a while is an understatement. Any APC, Tool, Puscifer gets an automatic stop from most of us, I think. I've seen a great many of these reactions, but of course, there are new ones. And higher I climb up the Reaction Tree. All you content creators, pay heed. This is how it's done. To quote the imminently quotable @AlexHafner, "It's talent, it's abstract, it's different." It's also necessary. Thanks, #Momma!

[@mojaveranger9680]

The tragedy about this song is that MJ couldn't understand why his mother was still a devoted christian.even after her congregation blamed her for sickness.saying was her fault for not being a good enough Christian.😢

[@WeNeverHadForever]

Lotta people don't know, but this was the first music video where Maynard did a 'face reveal' in fact, if I remember correctly, this was the first time his face was in media overall.

[@leileyaravencroft]

It was? I could swear it happened before and that Maynard made the decision to “unreveal his face” at least when it came to Tool’s music videos. A Perfect Circle on the other hand featured many face reveals.

[@sushidonut579]

This is incorrect. On the album Undertow, a video for "Intolerance" was filmed, showing all of the current band members. Albeit they each had black tape, with the PMRC warning, crossing their mouths. It is an obscure video, but it is in their old box set. Just to set the record straight...

Just a background for the lyrics: Maynard James Keenan, the singer's mother had an anuerysm when he was 11 that paralyzed her. Her name was Judith. She was devoutly religious. That's why the lyrics come off so anti-religious. This is an expression of Maynard's anger at "God", who struck down one of his followers and paralyzed his mother.
