[panterademonicpower]

epic

[xXkillersniperxX]

just the best part of the song 1:30 to 2:14

[OceansideRoberts]

I think any comments that say "Lady Gaga" in them around here should be deleted, including mine. Seriously what the fuck is wrong with people. Goddamnit shut up about stupid pop crapture.

This is APC nobody even fucking compares to this brilliance. YouTube hits are not justifying popularity. That crapture music out there gets 10,000 hits by 1 idiot at a time. Numbers shmumbers.

[QuickThunder123]

all i can hear when i play this song is awesomness

[musicmydrug10]

Love this song, love this vid! I love the unusual camera-angles&edited-in effects. The insects&the hole that needs to be filled, feeling powerless over yourself, way intense! Perfect vid for the song! Great direction&production, both pre&post... I do wish they'd produce some new music!!!

[ZapReaper]

@p2kkroto Indeed. How can people hear Bieber and shit like that instead of APC?

I mean, there is a border between musical taste and having no brain.

[p2kkroto]

@ZapReaper Yeha!! my friend, Justin is gay!!!

[metabolic0513]

Awesome! I miss this band so much. APC Should change the name to A Perfect Band.

[hellz184]

how come at the end you hear a commercial about shampoo and conditioner? if you're wearing earphones or have your volume turned up really loud you can hear it... o.O

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING!!! (not sure if i spelled that right or not...)

[kertaspaper94]

Almost forgot about the "ravenous" part in the lyrics...

[dexterme]

@kertaspaper94 no shit me too!!!

[AsianFanatique]

I swear, this song is the story of my life.

[necrid86]

@AsianFanatique yeah i think at one point in time we all get to this level. shit can throw dirty punches like a mother.

[cyberdaemon]

[9891483]

fucking eargasm.

[ignadgovno]

[8shahab8]

@ignadgovno dude....

[Harleste]

eeeeeewwwww....... creepy...... wouldn't wanna meet that chick in a dark alley.

lol But I still love APC. This song's one of my favorites.

[Mia70016]

@Harleste i know right i probally have a heart attack

[FallingFromTheLight]

@Harleste i would like to meet her in an alley

[ee68lp]

The song is about drug addiction. "Jam another dragon down the hole" . the hole is a symbol for addiction and the snakes and stuff are basically drugs that she puts into her body, that's why the hole in her stomach gets bigger until finally she falls into the hole herself which basically means dying of addiction.



[Naruseki]

@ee68lp Maynard himself said in an interview it's about a problem that won't go away, even how hard you try, you will never come out cleaan.

[style4asteal]

@ee68lp she is heroin. "china white"- heroin. thats why she is so pale and white...

[necro0bsession]

"digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren" think about it, someone feels like they alone understand their path in life,solitary. it echoes and echoes and beats them down. "jam another dragon down the hole" like chasing the dragon, your feeding your addiction.

[TheEminalex]

umm is it wierd that im being turned on by this? lol

[milkman52879]

@TheEminalex

not at all...i would totally do the freaky lizard chick

[fortherecord1000]

its about a junke whos lost every thing and is trying to fix them selfs but cant seem to find what to fill the hole that was the drug addiction

[dreacul]

A Perfect Song.

[purdyboy63]

There is an add at the end if you turn o\up the speakers... WTF!

[Beatmyguest001]

This song is lovely to listen to. Great video too.

[Observationfreak]

ew. That part with the hole in her stomach really grosses me out-good song though

[spf18]

Like most good music, there's multiple ways to interpret the song. The album itself is about addiction, not necessarily drug addiction (though it could be seen that way).

The more vague the idea, the more easy it is to relate to.

[enigmataxtreme]

AWESOME VIDEO AND EVEN MORE AWESOME SONG

[TurBoRoD]

this song makes me weap

[shade222222]

shes like a femal golem out of lord of the rings haha

[missmetalmisstress]

farkin beautiful song. heya blue tongue in that. cool!!!!

[redcrowdesign]

dude, WTF!? there's a shampoo commercial in the background!

[PhireXZ]

It's clearly about drug addiction. 'Tilling my own grave to keep me level ' - living on the edge of death just to feel normal 'Jam another dragon down the hole' -could simply be putting a rock into a crack pipe so you can chase the dragon and he's so weak and powerless... you see the woman with bugs crawling around (the feeling of addiction), 'desperate, ravenous, so weak and poweless' (the drug itself) you see the woman getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff (the edge of death)

[rockerfromhell32]

@PhireXZ never thought about drug addiction, but i mean the entire cd is about the steps to beating addiction

[2750624]

@PhireXZ...."someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of china, white as dracula while as I approach the bottom....." ..... Yeah, I totally agree with your interpretation come to think of it, thanks for pointing it out ;) 

[bearugard]

the woman in the video is Christins Aguilera.......hehe

[TheCapemhackem]

three things to live by and nothing more

1# freedom of speech

2# freedom of exspresion

3# freedom to chose

[thenickg530]

It's about heroin. lLten to the words, there are a lot of references to it. "Jam another dragon" "Feed the monkey" "Search of China", all naming heroin.

[sirstriker886]

The "hole" is created likely by a failed relationship, a long distance relationship, or the death of a individual. The effect is a lonely depressive state of mind causing the individual to become desperate. They will try new and sometimes unusual ideas to regain peace of mind. Once mental balance is regained the "hole" is filled.

[cutester9]

This is the coolest thing about Maynard's music , you can interpret it the way you want!! :)

[teenageroadkill2]

@Obituary1306 Then you obviously didn't understand the point of the video. Besides, shes throwing them down the hole, but they're obviously completly okay as we can clearly see. No animals were harmed. Get over it. I'm all for not making coats out of animals, but this is FICTION. Oh my God, they're not promoting or even condoning animal abuse. Get over yourself. Go ahead and flag it to make yourself feel better but it will get put back on a few days later by someone else.

[TalisTanari]

@Obituary1306 Seriously? Get a life. How does a fictional depiction of someone dropping animals into a hole in any way go against animal rights? Do you protest at zoos too? How about every single movie that ever had an animal get shot or hurt? My suggestion for you... Go F*** yourself

[Obituary1306]

@TalisTanari First of all, it could promote people to kill or hurt animals, and yes, I am against zoos because animals were not meant to be put into a false environment. So, go fuck yourself.

[RyougaSadou]

@Obituary1306 Ohhh, so you're one of the douchebags that gets a hard-on from removing videos for no good reason. Nice to finally see some of the names. If I didn't hate pricks like you, I most likely wouldn't care, but you're getting flagged for being a dick wrinkle. Yes i said dick wrinkle.

[Cawlmdownbrolololz]

@Obituary1306 it was a snake... that = reptile not animal

[Obituary1306]

@Cawlmdownbrolololz You're retarded if you think a snake is not an animal. Reptiles and insects are still considered animals.

[Cawlmdownbrolololz]

@Obituary1306 you're not very nice... calling me a retard because i disagree with you... ha you care more about stupid animals than your fellow humans.. i bet you don't call monkeys retards... why care about animals when they don't care about you. and never will.

[Obituary1306]

@Cawlmdownbrolololz No, I care about humans, I just don't care for ignorance.

[iiinitr0]

@Obituary1306 your calling somebody a retard, yet.. bare with me tell me if i got anything wroung.. your worried about snakes.. in a video.. (amazing one).. your flagging.. a video.. for symbolism, yet i bet they show a person dieing you wouldn't give two shits.. priorities dude i wish they used you instead of snakes and you would die instead of living..

[Obituary1306]

@iiinitr0 Just because I think animals deserve rights doesn't mean I hate people. I called that person I retard because he or she was acting like one. If you're acting stupid, I'm ganna tell you.

[iiinitr0]

@Obituary1306 your still bitching about a video, i implied your a retard because you or you is acting like one. if you're acting stupid, i'm gunna tell you.. and my question to you.. animals.. with rights.. as smart as some animals are.. rights? come on they didn't give women and blacks rights till the 20th century your going to have to wait a bit bud..

[Obituary1306]

@iiinitr0 Animals have rights in my mind and you along with everyone else in the world will never change that.

[iiinitr0]

@Obituary1306 not saying i can change it.. not saying i'm trying to change it.. just saying that as much as you hope and wish for it your going to have to wait a bit..

[guitarsweetie13]

ive always thought this video looked a lot like something that could have been in the ring

[tacityrn]

jam another dragon down the hole as it explodes throughout your mainframe

[tacityrn]

jamanother dragon down the hole

[SOADVSSOAD]

I Just Noticed That She's The One On The Thirteen Steps Cover With The Yellow Snail, Slug Thing On Her Face.

[xKEIZERIN]

@SOADVSSOAD it's a Banana Slug, and yes, she is :D

[poa5686]

@SOADVSSOAD only 7 years late

[SOADVSSOAD]

@poa5686 Ummmm well i just started listening to this album 5 months ago, and not when it came out.....Ever think about that?

[vildakas]

kick as video

[TheOneThatYouFear]

This is kind of what I will look like in 3 years, I have the body, and the nails xD

[Orficedestroyer]

I absolutely love APC but this video looks too much like a tool vid to me.

[gabrielbelmont]

Best Song Ever

[fuduzan5562]

For anyone asking why there's a shampoo advert at the end, it's because some of us were saddened to see her dragging all that lovely hair in the dirt, and they wanted us to feel better.

[undefinedego]

anyone else hear the hair/shampoo advert right at the end, turn your sound way up.

[vampiresandkittens]

@undefinedego lol I thought that was just me! guess not, haha. maybe they are trying to get us to buy their shampoo?

[QueenErrr]

Because I'm under 18, I can't watch the unedited version, because there is a BOOB on it.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

I love this song and APC (and Tool) is freaking awesome. Yet I can't watch the original video because apparently my mind is too little to see a freaking NIPPLE. Jesus mother cuntfuck dipped in turdsauce. >:(

[MoGiMaL]

Shut up and enjoy being eighteen. When you're nineteen, you can get a sex change and enjoy boobies for the rest of your earthly days.

[QueenErrr]

@MoGiMaL

Lol what? I am not eighteen yet, read the comment, I'm ~under~ eighteen. And I have my own boobs to look at - yes, I'm a girl, and I want to see the original, unedited version of said video WITH the freakin boob. Because I am just like that. :P

[MoGiMaL]

Haha, sorry, grrl, I was just teasing =oD @QueenErrr

[undefinedego]

yeah its pretty bullshit, you can't see boobs even though boobs are made for babies.

[trelinagr]

just perfect

[Squidza2k6]

why is there a shampoo advert at the very end?... :L

[Enishu]

@Squidza2k6 Yeah i notced that to thats weird hmmm...

[kertaspaper94]

Man, I would've died of heart attack if I am to meet that girl in the middle of a forest, but good vid, good song, and good job APC.

[Fatallethal]

@kertaspaper94 She'd Throw you in that hole before you have the chanche to die of heart attack.

[Descended6sic6]

her name is Tanya !!:P

[vincentsorel]

Does anyone know the name of the actress? I've searched on google, but there is absolutely no information about it.

[templodelguru]

Being a girl who he met Maynard James Keenan in a cafe and told him to make the video ...

This on the DVD.

[lindze9]

Also, the hole in the ground symbolizes her addiction aswell. She tries to fill it with snakes, lizards etc (drugs). But the bugs at the bottom keep eating them too quickly; thus, the hole never gets filled. Its a metaphor saying that her "hunger" or addiction will never be satisfied.

Its a powerful song and video. Capturing the hoplessness of addiction.

The whole alblum goes over different perspectives of addiction.

Hence the name "13th Step" referring to the 12 step program to recovery.

[forhours]

@lindze9 who are you, Maynard?

[lindze9]

It doesnt take a genius to get the concept of the video. This is my take on it. Why does everyone automatically resort to being an asshole on here? If you disagree with anything I say, come up with an argument and tell me why and ill respect any take you have on it. No need to be a dick. Plus its much more interesting that way. Get back to me on that.

[forhours]

haha yes I'm an asshole. It's just you're saying this like it's a known fact when in reality it's just the message that you're getting from it when really it could be something totally different. So your statements should contain "I think, or I feel" Rather than pretending that your telling us the facts. Is that a legitimate argument?

[lindze9]

Yes it is. But i dont think there is any "should" about it. Ive just learned, on subjects like these, to state my oppinion like its a fact. It doesnt mean that I'm not open to other possibilities. Ppl either agree or they dont. The only thing that bugged me is that you didnt actually point out anything about my theory that you disagreed with. Do you actually disagree with anything? Or is it just because i didnt put "I think" infront of it?

[forhours]

it's the way that you said it

[lindze9]

The person is struggling with their own addiction..possibly attempting sobriety..but failing. "Little angel go away/ come again some other day/ the devil has my ear today ill never hear a word you say/ he promised i would find a little solace and some piece of mind/ whatever just as long as i dont feel so desperate"

The hole in the womans body is her addiction...growing. And it gets bigger thoughout the video. In the end it consumes her.

[lindze9]

this is just my take on it. just so you know.

[lindze9]

Although this song can have many meanings..i think the closest one has to do with addiction. If you listen to the song..."Tilling my own grave to keep me level." To keep himself level or at ease he takes more drugs..killing himself along the way. "Jab another dragon down the hole." Chasing down the dragon is another reference to drug use. "Someone feed the monkey." Addiction is refered to as the monkey on your back...always hungry and reminding you that he is there.

great

[kasskitten92]

one of my absolute favorite songs/videos

[723cielo]

She's Lilith?

I have Lilith in Aquarius.

[MountainGuerrilla]

lillith was also Adams first wife, and if you follow christian mythology closely you'll see that all the named demons were once angels.

[emax156]

She`s Lilith, the first demon.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[666TheWhiteShadow666]

I didn't find this video freaky at all.

Love the song, though :)

[dethroned81]

my wife got freaked lol she said I don't understand how ppl can make such music and videos! its deeply philosophic!

[ninjacobra]

I'd cut the part where I'd cut myself...

[PoppyGenius11]

deep song, disturbing video. felt like i was gonna cut myself like :S

[SuperLlamaSquad]

Why is there a shampoo ad at the end of the video!

[kertaspaper94]

Creepiest Drow I've ever seen :)

[godmans567]

shes such a fucking sick bassist

[muszaklover]

she? Paz didn't play on this album. The bassist was Jeordie White aka Twiggy from Marilyn Manson...and yes, he is a sick bassist!

[StatingSteven]

nope paz played for thirteenth step

[muszaklover]

@StatingSteven no she didn't. Do you own the album? It states cearly inside that Jeordie played bass....

[powerman2442]

Paz left during the recording of Thirteenth Step. And they picked up Jeordie.

[muszaklover]

Yes, but she only recorded Gravity. The rest is Jeordie.

[frost135]

epic song ....epic video.

[nonesta13]

@frost135 lol its hard for me to understand this video...is she missing her heart from drugs or...?

[TOOLandMuDvAyNe92]

No- the song is about having a problem that will never go away, she's trying to fill up the hole (the problem) but it will never fill up. It's about being so desperate to fix the problem that she'll do anything........kinda hard to explain but that's the best I could do :D
