A Perfect Circle - Orestes - (Acoustic Sessions)

[Gonjir]

fuck and this is why they are professionals.

[DeacesoiX]

I love this music but best part of when he how to ends song after 3:10

[himynameisbede]

Like if you like this version more than the original

[RaiderA528M]

I reeeeeallly wanna know what he's singing in the vocal layered underneath at a lower volume. Sounds "Feel this In front of me, but I'll find a way, to feel this miracle and snip it all away", I know I'm probably way off but does anyone actually know what he sings underneath? I just went on that arse-ways rant to point out the section I'm trying to decipher. : 0

[nemesiswontdie]

@RaiderA528M I always heard "I feel every thing" but I could obviously be hearing wrong.

[theeredhippopotamus]

billys vocals sound like some mix of dave gahan(depeche mode) and marilyn manson

[towstirstroodul]

Billy's voice is thick and sexy like syrup.

[HunkyTalkenMonkey01]

I am doing the opposite of liking billy's voice.

[jballaviator]

Billy's undoubtedly one of the best lead guitarists in progressive. It's good to hear him sing (even as a backup vocalist) I'm a tool fan but I dont need two tool bands. I enjoy the difference in style. Wouldnt mind seeing Adam Monroe from Ashes Apart (youtube him he's an awesome pianist/vocalist) join for the next album next year. APC is really just a hodge podge of all stars, an ever going experiment that has to change to keep from getting dull, (if not to us then to maynard and billy).

[RobRoyMH]

@abcmrd999 Billy's singing, as he wrote most the music (while guitar teching for tool, nine inch nails, whatever other bands) and presented it to Josh Freese, who gave it to Maynard. Billy originally wanted a female vocalist. Don't be so closed minded when you aren't sure. Maynard wrote lyrics for the song Brena and the Hollow I believe.

[gazbostuart]

@RobRoyMH I would think he wrote the lyrics to Judith as well.

[exhume19]

@gazbostuart I thought Judith was about Maynard's mother...

[gleader]

@gazbostuart I read an interview way back where he was talking about the misunderstanding to the lyrics of judith, he implied (if not explicitly) that he wrote the judith lyrics.

[gazbostuart]

@gleader "He" being Maynard? Maynard wrote the lyrics to Judith. I'm aware.

[gleader]

@gazbostuart "I would think he wrote the lyrics to Judith as well."-You

No, actually you weren't, faggot.

[gazbostuart]

@gleader Haha, which was directed at this comment: "Maynard wrote lyrics for the song Brena and the Hollow I believe.". This comment implies that Billy wrote the lyrics for the other songs, to which I disagreed and said that I would have thought he would have wrote the lyrics to Judith as well. Which would seem obvious as it's about his own mother, for Billy to write that would make no sense. Read the comment that I first replied to.

[gleader]

@gazbostuart there was no implication, jerk.

[gazbostuart]

@gleader Ohhh, I'm going to assume you're just trolling. I'd rather not believe someone could be so dense. One last time for the slower members of the class though. Some guy: "Maynard wrote lyrics to Brena and Hollow". Me: "He wrote the lyrics to Judith as well". You "Jerk, faggot, jerk, faggot. I have sore head". 

[neuroleger]

i like James better.

[DrCommenter]

@neuroleger As do I. But you have to admit, Billy is pretty talented too. :/

[Gribbznezz]

i want the tabs so bad



[tonypata]

sounds rough but I like it.

[WhisperLithium]

love it



[jguinther333]

I always enjoy listening to Maynard's vocals! I like this one better than the other version.

[jguinther333]

9 people are out of their fucking minds!!! How the hell can somebody not like this song?

[deeakadee]

love love love this song :)

[elabird]

It's amazing to hear where some songs start and what they evolve into.

[furbyoats]

iirc, this is a demo from billy howerdell, billy actuallt wrote most of the mer de noms songs long before APC was a band, so this is all his work

[phillandry]

@furbyoats that's not true...Billy wrote the guitar but not alot of lyrics...You can see in his band Ashes Divide that the lyrics are weak compare to APC...

[NoMindSchool]

Yeah it's not maynard singing, but it's good.

[metalloulou]

This version isn't fake, its a demo sung by Billy Howerdel . People only get confused beacause its not Maynard singing.

[buttonmastah]

@metalloulou oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­h. that makes sense. it didn't sound like maynard at all. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION!

[metalloulou]

@buttonmastah : You are welcome ! Actually Billy sung in some songs in the album eMotive and people think it's Maynard :D

[BassBrittany8]

i raped the replay button.

[lldsandsll]

@BassBrittany8 i am the replay button :(

[Anotherdesade]

I am assuming Billy is singing

[BlueSpirals]

Just so everybody knows, Billy Howerdel is singing this song, NOT Maynard.

[eyebal]

um, Maynard wrote the lyrics... Billy did everything else.

[option1121]

@abcmrd999 dude have you listed to all of APC, billy sings almost the entire emotive album. APC is more than maynard. GROW UP!!!

[TheGuanche88]

Billy Howerdel's singing or not?

[sillytragedy]

@abcmrd999 its not maynard you're right, but you don't have to be such a faggot about it. Its billy, whom is also a member of the band aka (the bald guy). Get over yourself, you little shit

[DarkandCryptic]

@abcmrd999 It's Billy singing, he dosen't give as much emotion as Maynard, but I think I can here Maynard in the background

[TheMercifuldark]

i think its the singer from type o singing with maynard the acoustics sound awsome

[jbarnes8]

sounds like maynard all doped up on peter steele

[HootyInWonderLand]

I want Billy's voice in my pants RIGHT NOW.

[ravenoftheredsky]

It definitely is Billy singing. If you truly appreciate APC, you would know he's the main reason the band even exists. And you would know Ashes Divide.

[TheMauricesherwood]

not Maynard

[TheMauricesherwood]

not maynard

[youareanidiot21]

This is Billy singing lead vocals. It rocks.

[missyx21]

there is actually, i have an acoustic album from numbers as the outsider, a stranger and more there are 8 numbers on it

[CODENAMEVIDEOS]

It sounds like the vocals were toned down a pitch

[Varzio]

Youtube needs a replay button...can´t stop listening.Too beautiful to describe.

[artcellrox]

@Varzio Doesn't it, right at the end of the video? :)

[lindevolean]

I had this song playing on my ipod when I had my abortion lol

[TurilliX]

@lindevolean How lovely.

[mars3ooo]

@lindevolean hoodrats aborting there womb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cajaroto]

@lindevolean hahahaha! i fucking love this.

[humpaLe]

Billy singing on the Judith single. Not complicated.

[riki8686]

one of my favorite song of A perfect circle, i prefer this version than the original one

[psichotox]

in my opinion it's a cover of the acoustic version

[Glidewell1000]

may not be fake....but definately not maynard singing

[twitchmassacres]

@Glidewell1000 So wrong. It is Maynard singing. This track was actually released by APC on their "Deep Cuts EP", all songs have Maynard and Howerdel on vocals.

[zach1791]

holy shitt!! this is mesmerising!!! 

[0420JmB]

billys the back up singer/guitartist

[ravenoftheredsky]

@0420JmB Songwriter, producer.

[silvernations]

Better than the original imo....most emotion :)

[heroinromance]

the coalescing of voices at the end is almost orgasmic; too perfect to even comprehend... Billy's and Maynard's voices were conceivably made to exist together... O.o look up beauty in the dictionary and this song will be cross referenced

[TheJAke55555]

this is fucking amazing.

[SpencerStrike]

Maynard is such a brilliant man. This is absolutely beautiful. If you dont like this, you have no clue what good music consists of.

[jaybbycakes]

jesus I love billy's voice<3

[Virulency881]

Everytime I listen to this...I think of unrequited love. Everytime I listen to this...it ends up making me cry....

I love you Geoff....I wish I had the guts to tell you instead of fucking youtube.

[hitohikami777]

@Virulency881 please do it. Just stop thinking about it and do it. Take a step forward, I'm pulling for you ^^.

[sgtsteveo]

this is not maynard singing this is terrible off tone

[T00Lology100]

Billy's got a cool voice, didnt know he sang

[Stormdeluxe]

@T00Lology100 billy also has his own band, its called "ashed divide"

[voodoochild127]

Billy with Maynard in the back. Ashes Divide rocks the boat, as well.

[locosychocrazy1]

You can also get this through itunes on the "Deep Cuts" ep. It is so good. I love acoustic music.

[x4aperfecttool]

dude how can i download these songs?????

\

[aviarX420]

A Perfect Circle rocks!!

[x4aperfecttool]

This song is perfect!!!

[dsfhdugan]

you guys are all idiots, its billy singing, the man who actually started apc.

[venicequeen612a]

This is track 4 on the "Deep Cuts" EP

[Sleepiscarryingme]

This is real and has been around for some time. It's Billy singing the lead. Such a good song and so easy to play.

[Tankerpaul223]

Are you honestly trying to pass this off as maynard?

[danteasdfgh]

boring

[Schizo27]

Does anyone hear what the lyrics are for the last 20 sec or so? I can`t make it out.

[durzahim]

i think this is the demo of orestes with billy singing.

[deadhelenaslover]

i didnt think i could love this song anymore than i already did, this just proves i can... amazing..

[Feiirue]

Gotta' cut away.

[Boggs420247]

Damn Maynard has a crazy vocal range on this, well i guess he allways has had a amazing vocal range, he shows it off well here!

[kracktamdan1]

that definatly sounds like billy.

[mj0541]

Awesome tune. I reckon he's just singing it with a bit of delay, he's got amazing control over his voice

[incubus376]

simply beautiful! im putting a cover of this song on soon :) It wont be poop i promise ;p

[Morphru]

I think there's a chorus or phaser effect, that's why it looks like it's inhuman :D

[eyebal]

0:12

Huh? I don't think the human voice can do that.

[Feiirue]

@eyebal >impying maynard is human

[eyebal]

You have to admit, that's pretty funny. Probably was a recording issue though.

[ParodyRecreation]

Whoa.

[userh6478]

HORRIBLE.i love them but this sounds awful

[Hurzty]

My god, I fall in love with this song every time <3

[Sodob1992]

just ...insanely awesome

[LastingSpirit]

where did you get the song from. its amazing. i was wondering if it was an actual live acoustic because it doesn't sound like it. Is it from a cd like someone commented that it was?

[AnotherWorld82]

This song can be found on the 'Judith' Single, its called 'Orestes Demo '.

[sketchyou]

@AnotherWorld82 are all the acoustic versions of their tracks found separately on Original track singles, as you mentioned 'Orestes Demo' comes from the 'Judith' single, or is there an entire acoustic album?

Thanks

[AnotherWorld82]

@sketchyou just this one is off a single, all the others i collected from live radio performances

[sketchyou]

@AnotherWorld82 oh hey, thanks for your response. wow, in that case thank you for uploading the tracks here in youtube : ) . Been listening to these acoustic versions in youtube since the time you uploaded, but didn't put comments up til now - simply been enjoying the beautiful music. Cheers!

[KrisKael6]

@sketchyou They do have an acoustic album (called acoustic) that has heaps more then just what you would find on the demos, but it's a hard album to track down, unless you just download it

[666antigone]

@LastingSpirit I have all the acoustic on a album name "acoustic", include the songs 3 libras, Sleeping beauty, The Hollow, Thomas, A Stranger, The outsider, Weak and powerless and Oreste. Give me your email and i'll send you all the songs if you don't find them. (sorry for the bad english, french.)

[666antigone]

@LastingSpirit I have all the acoustic on a album name "acoustic", include the songs 3 libras, Sleeping beauty, The Hollow, Thomas, A Stranger, The outsider, Weak and powerless and Oreste. Give me your email and i'll send you all the songs if you don't find them. (sorry for the bad english, french.)

[jailepouvoir]

@666antigone t'inquiète, je trouve que tu parles parfaitement bien anglais. Au fait, j'ai jeté un coup d'oeil sur quelques-unes de tes vidéos. Dis, tu es quelle fille..celle qui joue de la guitare? Merci

[666antigone]

@jailepouvoir Mhh oui c'est moi... *un peu honte*

[kingace420]

@666antigone Hey I seen that you mentioned to someone that you have the songs on a album already! I would personally love the favor if you could perhaps send them to my email please! I love the sound of the acoustic arrangements and this would be awesome to have!

[666antigone]

@kingace420 Of course, just give me your email adress !

[tgunz1976]

@LastingSpirit Its on a cd callled deep cuts..... Its one of my favorite songs and when i found this version I was blown away.....Im a huge acoustic fan

[ozabobododo]

According to the interview Maynard did in Seattle, there will be at least one more APC album and another TOOL album. Thank GOD! Tool is his masculine side and APC is his feminine side, the band logos pretty much speak for themselves. ( ) and a phallic wrench, very clever.

[jprince11]

LINK LINK LINK please

[ozabobododo]

I believe it was "Wino Wednesday with Joe Escalante with special guest Maynard James Keenan". It has two parts and I think that's the interview where he alluded to making new art again through each outlet (TOOL and APC). Don't expect it anytime soon but better late than never, right?

[BehindThisMusic]

It's perfect...

[endnote7]

fuck who sang it if it was maynard or billy, ashes divde is a REALLY GOOD band. I love this song and dont care what this version is

[nineinchpinktool]

It's Billy

[Nyohttekotte]

it doesnt sound like them because thats not maynard singing idiots.

[slayerman50]

i thought it was maynard AND billy? lol

[heroinromance]

it is maynard and billy

billy just has the main vocals... if you listen you can tell them apart; but maynard carries most of the lower vocals... in all honesty, this song is utter genius with the both of them... their twisting, winding vocals mesh perfectly :)

[alex035]

its both maynard and billy

[Orphen84890]

The harmonics on this song are absolutely wonderful as well as beautiful. I've never heard two voices that are so perfect with each other. APC is absolutely my favorite band. The lyrics along with the music are purely genius, and it will be a drastic shame if there is not more from APC.

[Izekial56]

Freakin' awesome!

I remember hearing this several years ago somewhere... This is the first time I've heard it since then. So awesome!

[Lovelessxwrists]

This is just.. hypnotic, beautiful. No one word could acurately describe this to me, it's too much..

[nosleep4me72]

uh , this is not APC.

[aghrwyr]

Yes it is, it's Howerdel singing.

[thetoneslvr7]

it doesn't soundslike them tome either

[guitaro11188]

this version is fuckin amazing, i just wish they'd worked on ending their phrasing at the same time in a couple of places, can't tell who it is (probably billy) but one of the vocals carries a little too long in some spots (2:41 is kind of shloppy)

[aghrwyr]

You are correct.

[locator1]

give me one more medicated peaceful moment...

I die for you maynard

[Nyohttekotte]

and you call yourself a real maynard fan? thats not even him singing noob

[riotact90]

OHHHHH WOW WHAT A DOUCHE BAG

[alex035]

its both maynard and billy ultra noob

[billyhowerdel]

@alex035 just me actually...

;

[roopjm]

This is actually the demo, it was released as a B-side to the Judith single [if I recall] I remember owning this on CD.

[schism1986]

you're a douchebag.

[Zaros1]

You're an IDIOT, it's obviously them.

If not, by any rare chance, it's one of the greatest covers ever.

[schism1986]

you also are quite retarded.

[abovetheinfluence247]

Not feeling it! Its best left untouched and pure!

[ObeyTheFunktipuss]

it's michael jackson

[Castrate666]

HANDS DOWN TO MAYNARD!!!

☻☻☻

[wadeccockrill]

Sleepin beauty is there best one from these acoustic renditions. This is still really good though.

[marleyman0]

not sure if i like billys style, personally

[ObeyTheFunktipuss]

i love this version

[gaboww]

is bill valoe feat on this version???

[HabibMajrooh]

this version is amazing it sound so much different than the regular version almost romantic in a way as the other version is more of a bleak ballad. But Orestes is defiantly my favorite apc song.

[balancebalance]

yep that's billy he sounds just like he did in ashes divide. That whats so great about apc both maynard and billy sound great and their vocals blend perfectly for awesome harmonics.

[sythandle]

wtf this is maynard, are you deaf?

[iheartmetalmusic]

its maynard in the backround singing but its not mjk doing lead vocals

[lonelyprincess202]

i love this song

a perfect circle are definitely in my top 10 bands

[kazchen999]

this isnt apc.

at least this isnt maynard singing. his voice is different and much much better

[AnotherWorld82]

Its billy the guitarist

[benjamminmt]

@AnotherWorld82 lol...it's funny nobody realizes that maynard simply sang for apc....it was billy howerdel's project to begin with...he wrote all the songs as far as i know.

[sketchyou]

@benjamminmt why is that funny? tool and apc fans are clearly aware. only a couple youtube morons who heard about A Perfect Circle thru Maynard or a Magazine but have absolutely no idea what the names of the other band members aren't.
