  • @jdurso Maynard said himself that that's why they are called A Perfect Circle. They complete each other musically and if you take one away, it would sound unconnected.

  • i saw perfect tool in Michigan Maynard spent the whole show bithcn' about some girlfriend he had when he was 18 at first i didn't mind but he kept on and on and on...i thought what the hell is a matter with him ..great singer but a mental wuss if he still obsesses about some chick he was with 30 yrs ago...

  • Maynard is pimpin' xD

  • why doesnt APC play with TOOL that would be the ultimate concert!

  • 1:57 hey ! That's that fuckin' stand up comedian guy from The Pick of Destiny on the right!! :)

  • ...not how i imagined maynard.

  • Mer de Noms is a damn near perfect album, and 13th step is one of the best concept albums ever. Pretty amazing.

  • THE FUCKING NEED TO RELEASE THOSE SHOWS ON A D-V-D, DA-MIT

  • @ryonafan look up amotion

  • @thotink i have it :) but those are just the videos ,and the noose live

  • I love APC- and I always wanted to say this but Billy kinda looks like Voldemort from Harry potter....

  • @missreallywild INDEED!

  • so that where james went hahaha

  • Neil Hamberger.

  • "Mare de Noms"? Way to butcher the title's name, "Mer de Noms", meaning 'Sea of Names', and hence the track titles being mostly names. I cringed.

    Also, Maynard's getup is hilarious, along with is posse to boot!

  • Sooo the interviewers tone isnt annoying

  • Wow I don't know who the dude on the right at 2:08 is but that is the most hideous combover I have ever seen! He also looks really constipated!

  • @SoldierSide77 - And Maynard looks like some kinda pimp. I think that may be the strangest outfit I've ever seen him wear, and that's saying a lot for a guy who paints himself blue and struts around with a banana sticking out of his jockey shorts.

  • Is it me or did emotive suck? Passive was an awsome track but I thought the album was really weak - almost pointless.

  • @Retcrow Na its not just you. Passive and Counting bodies... are the only 2 songs I listen to on eMOTIVE. I listen to aMOTION more than eMOTIVE.

    I dont mind the Imagine cover, its good but it's not one of my favorites.

  • @nemesiswontdie Really? I hate counting bodies. Pet was so much better. I listen to passive, when the levee breaks, imagine, freedom of choice.

  • @Dartht33bagger same here bro.... i just think counting bodies<<<<pet a lot more

  • @Dartht33bagger - I liked Pet a lot more as well. The whole emotive album was a little too weird for me, aside from Passive.

  • Neil Hamburger @ 2:00 !!

  • @DackIsBack fuck Neil Hamburger, that's McPatrick Head... Show some goddamn respect!

  • I never noticed Neil Hamburger in that last clip before. lol

  • Maynard is the dude in the pimp suit sportin' the women.

  • i bet 50 bucks that maynard is the dude in red suit on the far right looking like a freak!

  • Hahaha, i like the pimp outfit. Neil Hamburger was there too! Haha

    Live DVD? Yeah, I'm not gonna hold my breath...

  • @PatientLeech No kidding. Maynard would have to be real hard up for money to put out a live DVD.

  • 3 succesful albums? I would say two...

  • He's dressed like a pimp! look at those girls at his arms, Haha...kidding...

    ..love this band. =]

  • I thought he dropped his ego.

    Fuckin rich people.

    It's just a show.

  • I love TOOL, and APC (Pacifer is a ripoff, though), but Maynard is one weird dude...

  • Maynard is a genius in all aspect of music.

  • i saw them play live in Virginia

  • linkin park????

  • i know wtf

  • So was maynard the giver or the taker and did howerdell cup his balls much!!!

  • He shouldn't be busy with anything but apc. Come on now billy...keep making apc music and pay maynard to come in the studio to sing.

  • What makes APC is the dynamic between Billy's guitar parts and overall arrangements paired with Maynards vocal melodies and synchopated rhythms... take one away and the whole thing falls apart, or at the very least isn't APC.

  • @jdurso Well said.

  • Fire twiggy?

    You must be crazy

    Paz is decent at best compared to jerodie

    James, or Troy? Who cares they're the ryhthm guitar

    and Billy can't sing well live from what I've heard, plus his vocals and lyrics don't compare to maynard

    their 13th step lineup was the best

  • just one problem with that...billy wrote all of the lyrics and music for mer de noms and co-wrote all the lyrics and music for 13th step but i do agree that maynard is the way better vocalist

  • @vacantnside not a chance.... Judith is directly about Maynards mother having a stroke and still standing by her got. plus it shares her name. you cant tell me that billy wrote a song about maynards dying mother for him. and that he sings such a personal song about his own life out of the words of another person.

  • @shtassfu dont forget he wrote 2 songs about his mother in tool also

  • @lilrocker1053 what 2 were they?

  • @vashtriger123 Wings for Marie part 1 and 2

  • @vashtriger123 Wings for Marie part 1 and 10,000 Days (Wings part 2), secifically in the titles alone mentions part of her name. I think 21 and a half minutes singing a song about your dying/dead mother is a good way to say he loves her and will truely miss her, actually talking to god, asking him why he had to take her. That's my belief anyway.

  • @shtassfu true...i meant to put he had all the music in concept stage and a few loose ideas for lyrics...but most of songs on mer de noms billy had lyrics and ideas to...apc was his brain child maynard has always said that...you can youtube it im sure the interview is still on here...its a tool interview and they ask about apc

  • Thats not maynard in the suite is it? the guy on the right in the red suite looks more like him it would be funny if it was a double and no one is noticing.. :D

  • It would be funny but that is definitely Keenan!

  • ii believe the guy in the red suite is comedian Neil Hamburger

  • pretty sure MJK is the one with the two girls and the hat

  • It's funny how most of these A Perfect Circle interviews always show that scene of maynard getting out of the limo. When he looks like the biggest Tool. :)

  • Thirteenth Step = awe-inspiring

    I really hope they get APC back on track and release another album like it.

  • One of the most amazing albums I have ever listened to. I swear it helped change my life.

  • I wouldn't quite say that, but it is an incredible album. One of the best ever made.

  • You wouldn't. I would, and did. :)

  • Touche. lol

  • gees your well adjusted then ay!?

  • same. so strong. i will never forget when i first hear APC. as blasphemous as it is i almost like them better than tool.. there even for me. hope they'll someday put out another album

  • freese is a studio drummer. that's how he got his job with apc. he used to drum for the disneyland band as well. he just drums doesn't matter if it's rock or pop he just loves to drum

  • I think the ashes divide album sucks balls. I mean the stone is an amazing song, really powerful and catchy but the rest of the album is really dull and boring.

    Another original perfect circle album would be amazing, i really think it brings out the best in howerdel.

  • Hate to agree with you but you're right

    ashes divide meh

    apc amazing

  • The guy does a lot of different styles. If doing different styles makes him an awful musician, then that's too bad.

  • i want a new apc album!!!

  • I would've wanted A perfect Circle album with Mer de Noms Musicians after the first album, but it didn't work out that way. When i saw A perfect Circle in 03' it just wasn't the same because i was such a fan of the first album that James Iha and Jeordie White just wasn't it for me with Thirteenth Step. When i think of a new album, sometimes i just feel it would ruin it for me.

  • The presenter has possibly the most annoying voice ive ever heard.

  • We are a band looking to make a career out of music. if you want an original artistic sound then we are what your looking for.Our ideal members would be musicians who thrive on creativity and artistic perspective, if you are interested then please reply. we need a drummer or a singer.

  • Well, put really. Ever see him live? He's played drums for The Vandals, Devo, Danny Elfman, Guns N Roses, Rob Zombie, Avril Lavigne, 3 Doors Down, Evanescence, Good Charlotte, Seether, Queens of The Stone Age, The Offspring, Katy Perry, NIN, APC... etc.

  • I like how you name drummer names to presume you know about drumming and drummers...

  • Wow, you missed the point entirely. Actually I said "Put him up against..." meaning if he was compared to these drummers who can be classified as "Extraordinary" he wouldn't come close. He is a good drummer, not an "extraordinaire". Not sure how you could make the assumption that I was basing my knowledge of drums (as a drummer of 13 years) on the fact I know drummer names. I posted a simple opinion that he isn't that amazing, no complex rhythms...

  • Good luck playing Let's Have a War.

    Freese is brilliant, face it.

  • ... HAHAHAHAHA. Hmmm.

  • Are you saying that Tim Alexander and/or Danny Carry are not on the same level as the drummers you named?

  • Huh? Danny Carey is in the list for starters... but I am limited to how many characters I can put in a message. I think all the other great drummers, John Bonham included can be put neatly in the etc. column...

  • Josh Freese did stuff with Katy Perry? That's a bit disappointing.

  • yeah well that may suck but josh freese also kicked ass with nine inch nails for a long time on the road

  • @March3Yahoo Well, he is a musician and needs to work.

  • @March3Yahoo

    Josh Freese is an extremely in demand studio drummer with hundreds of albums to his name. If you are petty enough to be disappointed by just that, then you will be extremely disappointed by his resume.

  • @March3Yahoo He's a session drummer thats what he does

  • @March3Yahoo well he was the drummer for the disneyland band when he was growing up. but he's a studio session musician so he'll do any and all music. it's all drumming to him.

  • @March3Yahoo He's a studio drummer, he hops around and does stuff.

  • @March3Yahoo - Josh Freese is a session drummer and a touring drummer. He has worked with like 50 different musicians and bands on many many different projects.

  • @March3Yahoo He Is A Studio Drummer, Thats His Job.

  • @March3Yahoo Josh Freese works with a lot of people. he's a studio drummer. he has a HUGE discography.

  • @March3Yahoo Josh Freese has done stuff with EVERYONE lol. he's super versatile like that. ;-)

  • @March3Yahoo Josh Freese is one of the most in demand session drummer in the US, every style of music even Katy Perry!

  • @March3Yahoo hes a session drummer he does stuff with a ton of people

  • @March3Yahoo who gives a fuck that shit would be fun to play. dont care if you dont like the band listen to it... his drum work is perfect in it.

  • @bigperson666 I know but... It's still a bit disappointing like @March3Yahoo said.

  • @March3Yahoo ...Dude, it's fucking JOSH "Tasty" FREESE... He tours with EVERYONE! From Sting to Nine Inch Nails, he's done it all!

  • @March3Yahoo If you did your research, you would have found out that Josh Freese has done "stuff" for nearly everybody. One of the best, most versatile and most consistent session drummers of all time

  • @March3Yahoo Josh is a professional drummer. he got the keys of Los Angeles for his portfolios for playing drums in a thousands of bands. it's what people do for a living ... if you're an engineer, Josh is a drummer. if you're a dentist, josh is a drummer and so on and so on ... nuff said

  • @March3Yahoo josh freese is the biggest music slut ever lol. pretty sure he did shit with my grandma too.

  • yeah it´s the best drummer

  • i would love to see danny carey come guest drum in one of APC's live shows.

  • billy doesnt get the recognition he deserves...hes a phenominal musician and has probably one of the most creative minds when it comes to making music these days i think

  • please please please release this dvd

  • I'm tired of them showing footage of Maynard in his blingy pimped out look. It was a joke. Makes the band look band.

  • When he was dressed like that it was during the election post 10,000 Days. He was telling people to go out and vote.

  • Yea, but anybody with any sense knows its a joke and takes it with a grain of salt.

  • @stratchic ok thanks for clearing that this was a joke loll. i just recently started listening to tool and apc- and read that Maynard despises the level of attention that celebrities/artists receive, and when i saw this i thought wow what a contradiction.

  • Wow they must be rich not to care to put out a live DVD that fans would pay good money for or they just dont care enough too oh well .

  • cmon BILLYYYYYYYY GET BACK TOGETHER ALREADY!!! it's a good thing they're songs are so good that i cannot get tired of them but i do want to hear some more new deep SHIT!

  • wonder where maynard was when he was getting out of the limo in the suite. i see neil hamburger next to him

  • holy fuck he looks thin..

  • What are they waiting for!!! I want this DVD!!!!! WAAAAAA!!!

  • i hope this dvd gets made dammit!

    and if so it better have either "Blue" or "orestes"....thats good news haha

  • It would those are singles.

  • I love how Neil Hamburger doesn't break character - even for a second. (2:04) right side of the camera.

  • ive exepted the fact that apc will never come out with another album. but tool is way better and i cant wait to see them again this summer. Lallapalooza!

  • I personally don't forsee another APC album. Frankly eMOTIVe sucked ass.

  • eMOTIVe was a joke. It had like 3 or 4 good tracks and the remainder were just....shit.

  • Totally agree. I hope they release those Texas shows dvds. I was at the Houston one.

  • Is that the fucking porn bitch on the right???

    WTF

    lOL!

  • Ugh... I'm not a fan of this "narrating/host guy"... Geeeez..

  • ya he sounds kinda annoying.. haha

  • Neil Hamburger is at the end with Maynard and the bitches.

  • Keenan has a hot gf

  • that's the chick from fuse, lawl

  • yeah, she does that stupid uranium shit

  • Tim Alexander played on Mer De Noms, I thought that was all Freese?

  • Tim played drums on The Hollow, but it was all Freese for the rest of the album.

  • Tim played on The Hollow, but because he lived so far away from Billy and Maynard, it became too much of a hassle to have him on the record, so they went with Josh for the remainder of the album.

  • apparently maynards got some ho's.

  • evilk... salivial was a live album no songs were written thats why it was release a year before Lateralus

  • I find documentaries of the creative process in the studio a lot more than a touring DVD. Knowing the band we will probably never get a "in the studio" type of a DVD (it most likely doesnt even exist), so I will take a live touring band DVD. ha!

  • Some back ground info.

    TOOL has one more CD to make off a court ordered record deal that TOOL WON in a LAWSUIT. I forget what the claim was in the lawsuit but the band won and court ordered them to get a high amount of money and 3 record deal. I think they got screwed over during the Aenima tour.

    Anyways Tool is milking it in a way.

    If a DVD comes out it wont be through TOOLs present rights holders. (Thus APC and Puscifer as loop holes for Maynard). Tool will do it after the cntract ovr.

  • I would rather see a documentary on their tour and collaberating. (TOOL NOT APC)

    Sort of a Rattle and Hum Documentary --imax worthy film would be awesome.

    Show them get in the studio to make the new album. Show how the creative process gpoes. then record parts of the first tour leg to add to it and boom.

    Millions would be sold.

  • I think Maynard might not want to release a dvd of concert footage. Why isn't there a live Tool dvd after all this time? I would love to relive a concert experience on dvd but I think he's the type of person that would rather have people experience the concerts in person. I hope I'm wrong though. I'd be first in line for any live Tool/APC dvd.

  • Its weird because Maynard was never happy with the production of the undertow cd. and face it... it lacks depth and volume. I pretty much always have to max my volume for that cd its so low. it was really poorly mixed and produced. Aenima was their entry to REAL production.

    Maynard has said he likes some of the live versions better than the recorded. He seems to love their live way of playing "46 and 2" for one./

  • you have to turn it up because the mastering standards in 1993 weren't nearly as loud as they were in 1996, 2001, or 2006. i agree with the Undertow mix, though, because the guitars are panned too far to the right (except 4º, but that's because the guitars are in mono).

  • where the fuck has Juliya been?

  • I think it's funny; knowing how Tool cds fly off the rack the first day they're available with more or less just word-of-mouth advertising, it's interesting to hear Billy say that neither him nor Maynard have put any effort into releasing APC live DVD. They would really only have to get someone to put it together, then they would have to approve it, release it, and us fans would do the rest! I swear, they would make at least a couple million bucks if they did, so why not?!

  • Is there a new Tool tour or is this an old vid? Cause I thought he was doing shit with Puscifer still. *ponders*

  • i want tools new album, when will it be releised!!!!!!!!!!

  • tool's new album will be in about 2011.

    they release every 5 years, and tour the same. their newest is 10,000 days, an amazing record and by all means i recommend

  • dude, they dont release every 5 years. That was just 10,000 days.

  • aenima was released in 96.

    lateralus was released in 01.

    there's 5 years.

  • undertow 93 - aenima 96, 3 years, aenima 96 - salival 2000, 4 years, salival 2000 - lateralus 2001, 1 year, the only one tthat was 5 years was lateralus- 10000 days

  • we're talking about the intervals between tool's FULL-LENGTH albums.

    salival is a box set...that's not what we're talking about.

  • release it! i will buy it three times! i promise ;)

    damn this band was so great. great albums and one of my best live gigs ever

  • apc prolly wouldnt be where they are today if it wasnt for maynards voice and lyrics. im sure u wouldnt have even blinked an eye at their album if they had the fag from fallout boy or some other turd bands singer. shit, maynard should sing for every band, cause he is the best!!!

  • I hope they will release an album some day, i reallly hope, but meanwhile I will listen the old stuff and Tool

  • Please, please, please release a live DVD! I've really regretted that I didn't attend more shows during the Thirteenth Step tour. Please bring back APC! :(

  • I was at the Houston show they shot. 5/29/04

  • maynard may have had his lyrics, but he is an ass, who will get naked right on stage and jack- off.....yeah apc needs him. he's not mentally ill..........he is apeshit holmes ive, seen both

  • well clearly you are not reading to much into his actions. do your research.

  • Why does it matter what kind of person maynard is? I have never and probably will never hear a voice as good as his. There are a few people, who I can count on one hand, who can keep a note like him. Maynards not about pleasing dickheads like you who don't understand the meaning he is trying to get across. And who cares if he gets naked and jacks-off on stage! He is a lead singer of 3 to 4 major bands. Maybe he would jack off in your face to shut you the hell up.

  • Fuck yeah! Maynard is a man among boys. Howerdel is a kick ASS guitarist is well, and the fact that this piece says Maynard offered his services to Howerdel should he form a band is testament to the fact. Maynard is a great singer. Phenominal. "I should play god and just...... SHOOT YOU MYSELLLLLLLLLLLF"

  • howerdell and maynard ARE apc.

    you can't compete with maynard's lyrics.

  • (dayofexile) While I agree that Maynard isn't god (though I am a fan) I dont think apc would be the same without him.

  • shut your fuckin mouth.

  • nice opinion.............ok tru, the band would not be the same. i guess im just pissed about thier "hiatus". btw i'l shut up when u will. dick wrestler

  • oh shit, you got me shakin in my boots! internet badass.

  • that maynard...he could take a shit in some tin foil and give it to queen elizebeth as earings...i fucking love you maynard....feh...sniff...poop mouth...

  • maynard is god

  • zoo lander reference.

  • C'mon guys, release another album!!! As if Tool and Puscifer aren't enough for my god, Maynard James Keenan!

  • oh, maynard. marry me <3

  • they will get back together!

  • maynard is more psicadelic in tool...but he has a great voice...

  • Man. Indefinite hiatus my ass.

    APC will get back together sooner or later. Maynard has already spoke several times on this, AND Howerdel. So fuck that man. You cant just go saying that.

  • no they havent....haha....you just lied......and they wont get back together.

  • maynard looks good as always with the stash lol

  • Hahaha this video title is slightly mis-leading it sounds like a live dvd will not get released for years. Oh well I have their aMOTION dvd to keep me entertained until then.

    Also Ashes Divide was fairly disappointing some good material but hoping for a better release from Billy in the future!

  • A PERFECT CIRCLE VERY GREAT.
