A Perfect Circle - Hollow - (Acoustic Sessions)

[zeroatlantis]

This version was released as a stand alone single as a bonus for preordering Lateralus before it came out. I've loved this version ever since.

[pmg534]

@zeroatlantis Lateralus is a TOOL album

[vivianlippens]

Who played keybords?



[uncleblackburn]

Love this!

[LadySixixix]

I have to listen to either band everyday, or I hear his voice singing in my mind.

And even when I finally get my fix, I'm lovin it so much, something has to make me stop.

And then he's singing in my head again <3

[Frog908]

The piano tune at the start sounds a lot like "Beyond good and evil"

[Skollnhogg]

Are all these acoustic versions on an album I can buy?

[RobertJamesKeenan]

this is where the world needs to be as far as music goes...so sick of the way music is now adays there is so much beauty in music that people forget what real music was meant to be..thank god for A.P.C and TOOL

[phillip69543]

This is evidence that God exists. God created all the frequencies that music notes are made up of and the musicians construct songs out of them. AperfectCircle are just better than most at using God's gift than others. And God gave them that gift of musicianship; without God they wouldn't be able to play music, and without God we wouldn't be listening to music period.

[Nepoot]

@phillip69543 i would completely agree. lol i just find it ironic you would say that about them cuz of the lyrics to judith XD

[7headed10horned]

@phillip69543 There's about 15 different ways to argue with that statement

[TheBreakingBenjamin]

@phillip69543 Evidence god exists? It's Maynards mind and voice going into this. Why bring god into this?

[ainumahtar]

@TheBreakingBenjamin I suppose Maynard is not a bad choice if one would want to worship any creature as a god

[illbyahero]

i dont even belive in god anymore, i stay fucked up. this is the only thing i belive in.

[CDybs]

I miss real music...This is an example of TALENT. Very enjoyable.

[Scarface066]

I seriously wish I could favorite this more than once...

[anvilal]

The first 20 seconds of this song sounds like another song that i have heard before, but i cant remember what it is. any suggestions would help.

[jergintherlax]

i really wish i could see this

[sheva5599]

@jergintherlax u mean.. like synesthesia...that'd be just asthonishing...srry 4 my english :P

[tristan7zavier]

I can scarcely believe there is a dislike.

[emersonlmb]

no se si la versión original es mejor que esta o viceversa, pero estos tipos suenan muy bkno!!!

[lightunfolds]

purrfect



[PStewart28]

This is beautiful.

[oasis1818]

Their amotion album is just as good as their studio album. It's completely different and good to listen to even if you know the studio songs by heart. Completely different but epic none the less

[tboneofeos]

if you like the piano, check out the monroe12478 and his version of this...

[poeticalex9]

@tboneofeos comepletely agree with you about adam monroe

[g0rekitty]

fuckin beautiful

[tech4ever1]

I like this way better than the original version! Gawwwwd his voice! Thanks for uploading, this is timeless

[MrTool86]

This is beautiful

[theblueguy5000]

were can i get this song, i love it like i do with all my Tool and APC songs ;)

[christiannandres]

a perfect song.

[RockRebel219]

This pretty much made me want to cry. Not because it made me sad, but because... it just reminded me how breathtaking and beautiful music can be. REAL music, with meaning; not some shit thrown into the mainstream radio.

[rayneroseren]

@RockRebel219 this should be a top comment. couldn't agree more

[parabolaNSD]

tool and APC are basically my life source :)

[parabolaNSD]

i could cry everytime i hear this, reminds me of who is not able to be here to listen with me, next to me. <3

[opethinchains]

im pretty sure the one and only dislike on this one was seriously by mistake. either that or their hunger wasnt temporarily satisfied. lol wow, that sounded dumb. i LOVE this band. i have the logo tattoed on my forearm. this whole acoustic performance is unexplainably beautiful. and totally relaxing. serene.

[taoistbastard]

Can't seem to stop listening to this. I wish they official released these acoustic sessions.

[TwistedFateism]

this is one of the BEST acoustic vers. i ever heard! :)

[Captainkirk4269]

Hey check out my live version of the hollow from the seattle show and a partial clip of "Mer De Noms" I taped myself

[timothyevanrichard]

hah, 1 dislike, looooserr

[cuddychd]

its acoustic duh he prob put the xtra tap in for a little extra beat b/c obviously drums resound more in an acoustic version

[Adagio1723]

Did he forget the lyrics or something?

[crazymiles]

@Adagio1723

If you don't understand why the lyrics were altered, you're too dumb to live.

[Kerrnon]

@crazymiles

I don't, but I'm a big APC fan. Why was it? I WANNA LIVE, DAMN IT.

[opethinchains]

@Kerrnon my guess is that it simply just puts more of a twist on the song. and so that MJK could change something up too. plus, the vocal patterns displayed on this whole performance flow so well with the music. so, he probably altered the lyrics to have them do so. that's my take on it. im also a huge fan, friend.

[ssimonj]

ok, so im not 100% sure, but i think josh freese slips up on the drums at 3:04. if so, it's pretty great to see these guys too are human ;) incredible song, incredible band.

[gleader]

@ssimonj good ear, sounds like he missed double tapping it and took a second shot real quick.

[Chromodar]

@ssimonj Josh is human, yeah. How can you be sure about the rest though?

[Natsukii999]

This song is wonderfull ..really wonderfull and The voice of James Maynard Keenan is absolutly beautiful..APC is the best group of the world..♥

[TheParanoidSchizo]

i'm stoned.

[SlappaDeBassMon]

Argh. I do really like this version, I love the folky sorta sound it has, and that final melody is outstanding. But at the same time I dislike it, because the original Hollow is my absolute favourite song by APC (and I doubt that will change), so in my opinion I feel this version is mediocre. If that makes sense. I dunno.

[PawnshopID]

@SlappaDeBassMon

cool story bro

[algoAzrael]

ok so who's the solo single fool who didnt think this was fantastic? 0_o

[SiEVlla521]

Perfection... i have had this song on repeat for SOO.. Long "Run desirrrreerr" love this version better than the original <3 Thank You for the upload!!!!

[ajagoff]

is this from the Chicago sessions? If so, I was one of about 30 people in the studio watching this...and I thought I'd never hear these versions again. Thanks sooo much for posting!

[caim5]

Thanks for the upload. I'm hooked on this song :)

[TheMercifuldark]

i love this album

[zorac91]

definitely a perfect circle is pure emotion. Every APC song can be put into a beautiful melody.

[BobfishAlmighty]

Wow! How can anybody vote this down?

[RealityDivided]

would be nice to watch the acoustic session live

[RealityDivided]

would be nice to watch the acoustic session live

[inverthesilence]

i dunno. i think i'm going insane. this man is so freakin' talented.. love the acoustic versions of their songs. they always make a lot out of their songs.. :) maynard james keenan, you're the best artist I'll ever know.

[metabolic0513]

OMG What just happened? This is beautiful, APC should change their name to A Perfect Band 'cause since Maynard appeared the music changed forever now with these acoustic versions he perfected what was perfect.

[TheReeferMadness13]

i hooked up to this when i was stoned off my ass ha:)

[x4aperfecttool]

i think i just broke out a tear! lol Best song ever So potent And rich Like some dank weed!!

[TheReeferMadness13]

@x4aperfecttool right?? ha

[spiralout46]

it's not you april flowers. MJK's voice is perfect.

[Soneillion]

Is this from a CD or did you download these separately?

[benjamminmt]

I don't know how I have never heard any of this stuff....IT'S FUCKING SPECTACULAR.

[PerfectParasite]

It seems to me that people if you know who APC or Tool is you either love them or don't want to hear them.  fuck the people who don't love them. lol.

[ledarkpoet]

Im wetting my pants..

[MrJoshbritto]

nope its perfect



[thomasArhg]

I've never seen the comments on a song so realistically positive.

[toolluvr1996]

breathtaking . . .

[DarckKratos]

Love this song

[b3njamin0912]

It would sound better if he sang higher at many parts of this song.

[chemicalmarch2]

and duran duran listens to joe the plumber....how symbiotic

[damotheamazing]

awesome, especially considering it was recorded live

[clubkittencm]

fuckin on point!

[aiyerk]

Is Josh playing the drums or is Tim Alexander... Its incredible what he does with just a snare drum and a pair of brushes...

[LeroyMc0tis]

This is beautiful. even acoustic...

[ThePsyclops]

this is awesome!!!! \m/

[maynardsspawn]

Maynard is a fuckin G! That shit has been certified many ah times over. This video is that icing on the cake.

[neoburge]

fill me up........ again ...........please

[611JV]

maynard's voice is one of a kind

[mycuntryboner]

this is amazing! does anyone know where i can find this to download??

[SpencerStrike]

Maynard is the fucking man.

[kornrule12]

Beautiful.

[etherealbylar]

Thank you so so much!!!

Great version

[stolieolie]

someone just asked if the piano piece was something new, and i was just saying that it wasn't , it was the original guitar part. and??? ;p

[stolieolie]

the piano piece is the same as on the album, but obviously was played as a guitar piece....listen closely to the album version, the riff is there :}

[ZADA777]

@stolieolie and????

[Builtforsin88]

That was just.... amazing!

[thousandlegger]

i am peachful.

[awnzz19]

what a fantastic voice!!...very very sexy

[stacygirl777]

So beautiful

[ZADA777]

@stacygirl777 all in good time hun, truth always prevails

[sajmonen]

So sad, love this acoustic version!!!!

[jvs512000]

Unbelievable...simply great. The piano adds a twist that I have never heard with APC or Tool.

[Albogdan1234]

@jvs512000 u heard "when the levee breaks"? thats got piano, and its fuckin jam.

[kq1030]

@Albogdan1234 That song is jus.... its just orgasmic to the ears.

[barber967]

@jvs512000

have a listen to guy called monroe12478. he does a few apc and tool piano covers!

[ISISbandLive]

@barber967 Adam Monroe actually toured with Billys band Ashes Divide.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

@jvs512000

It amazes me how ignorant alot of people are to the beauty of piano.

[zmoe255]

@jvs512000 Imagine cover?

[jvs512000]

@zmoe255 True... and also "Passive"

[zmoe255]

@jvs512000 of course! couldn't think of anything else to say other than.

I fucking love their music. 

[steunitpassword]

@jvs512000 check out a channel called ginarae, she has some beautiful tool pieces on piano :)

[mpeters220]

@jvs512000 I instantly liked as soon as I heard the song open up with the piano.

[viento00]

@jvs512000 search for adam monroe he plays tool and apc in piano

[oriz0r]

This is too much for me.

[ZADA777]

@oriz0r hmm

[dsfhdugan]

i hate how billy sings orestes

[abus2007]

billy wrote these songs...kinda fitting he has the luxary of singing one?

[lRosettaStonedl]

He composed them, he didn't write the lyrics.

[abus2007]

yeah....but...he composed them....meaning he wrote them...i mean if it's your brain-child wouldn't you be like hey guys you care if i sing one?(meaning maybe writing lyrics let me specify this time) but come one the music is a masterpiece, lyrics are obviously a factor but you'd be to think writing everything else had a little bit of pull lol, and check out ashes divide...billy's a good singer yall show him some love

[sickboyduke]

yeah i cant really take his voice as well. didnt like most of the tracks of the last album.

it just sounds gay

[Stinkfist43]

I actually like the acoustic version better than the original

[bkenji666]

ill agree

[originalmo07]

MJK always delivers.

:D

[imwithdude]

they soooo need to relsease this on an album!!!

[3melmel33]

woah why have i never heard this before?

is beautiful

[cameltraffic911]

who's playing the piano?

[PolTerrikk]

perhaps Paz?

[lordslush]

Paz, yes. She's amazing.

[desertstorm2021]

ive listened to this song like 10 times in a row. its amazing. MJK is my god!

[growlingmetal]

oh excuse me freddy mercury

[lifesAdream1390]

...Then the owl said to the other animals "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop."but the owl replied "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give." -apocalypto... Maybe along the lines of this??

[DGog224]

its also heavily referencing drug use and abuse.

[seniorphilthy]

THE HOLLOW??? really WTF did you think it was about?

[HabibMajrooh]

wow that was fucking brilliant. Why are they on a hiatus. billy and maynard need reform a perfect circle again.

[celestefranco]

thank you for these.....

really.

hands down beautiful

-ear to the ground. eyes to the sky. heart out-

winnipeg.

[asemanasa]

yeah nostalgia!

[AprilFlowers14]

is it just me or is MJK's voice perfect?

[growlingmetal]

just perfect

[pinion199]

@AprilFlowers14 Nope 100% perfect. lol

[MommyBird10]

@AprilFlowers14 the whole god damn band is simply perfect...they are the heart and soul of what great music should consist of...hands down one of the greatest bands i have ever listened to

[SilenceOfTheMoose]

@AprilFlowers14 its perfect

[erkmed]

se la saca esta rola y mas en esta version!!!

[adickmove]

i like pie!

[joeblack6]

anyone know what the cd is called or where these versions are from?

[imwithdude]

thanks!! i've never heard this version before..  wicked cool!!

[Hazeon23]

thanks for posting these - somehow I missed the release of this album, I'll have to head into the record shop and get it, they're such great acoustic renditions!

[brpadington]

I love songs like this that make you think. You can debate this song forever and everyone would be right.. Its a shame that all they play on the radio is gay nickelback stuff that has no meaning and will not challenge or engage the audience. The only think Nickelback challenges is my stomach.

[JiggyWilson]

Not true, Nickleback can also challenge your patience and your mental stability. Try listening to a Nickleback album and then NOT murdering a bunch of small children, let me tell you.

[locustkillr]

Exactly. So much of the rock lyrics of this decade are the meaningless drunken musings of white trash jocks turned drugged out gray collar day job-ers.

i want to be a rock star. indeed.

[clarissamellon]

I can totally relate to that. I'm addicted to the man I shouldn't like I guess.

[Craigyxs]

Maybe it's simply passion.

[codywhitehead]

it about what ever you make it about. this version sounds better than the original

[binhatin]

i think that this song is about drug addiction

[SVPman]

it's about sex addition

[binhatin]

it could really apply to any addiction. to me it's about drug addiction, i guess when i hear it in my head and the way my mind puts it together, sex addiction is like the last thing on my brain hahaha

[SVPman]

Of course it could apply to any addition,it's likely for me that it is about sex,but as Maynard said "that song is about what is for you"

[binhatin]

yeah i feel that

[turkeysoupforthesoul]

:O

I never knew they had an acoustic session

[thaw555]

where can i find this?!?!?!?

[Pepoids2]

The hollow. a very fitting name for the lyrical content of the song!! yeah!

[Craigyxs]

Maybe it's just a little beyond you, Pepoids2.

[abus2007]

i'm going to come to your house and murder you

[ZADA777]

@abus2007 haha good luck

[cuddychd69]

tempooorarily..pacifyinnnn
