A Perfect Circle - Imagine

[ForgotteMemories101]

lol the pope looked like he hates his job

[timewasteland]

"... and no religion too"

Now THAT'S what people need to imagine. A world without religion=a world in peace

[littlewhightboy7thst]

i had a dream about obama in a plane flying over my house and the jet that was next to him exploded and piecis of the jet crashed on my house and i knew that he was dead so i like freaked out in my dream there was no hope for this world i thoght it would be like the holcaust like nazi shit

[Phaiyte]

This has quite a few one ups on John Lennon imo

[csmzcs]

this song is so powerful... brilliant

[LucasRCX]

Just amazing.

[M4lign]

these lyrics have a real nietzsche feeling to them

[elderhalfbood]

i love this 

[rebeLraaawr]

Dear Youtube

I like this song, it's one of my favorite, I admit. But I do wish you would get more creative and play a different song in my playlist. If I click on "Tool - 10'000 Days" I wish to hear that, if I click on "Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera" I wish to hear that, if I click on "AFI - Beautiful Thieves" I wish to hear that and not this. I can keep this list going, if you like, but I think and hope you get the point ;)

Maynard makes this song makes us all feel like we've failed. Amazing only he could do this.

[MCweylin]

the video is just epic. song obviously too.

[monkeylordrick]

Illuminati the government citizens of all races of all regions all stand under the same sky,were all human in this together.were stronger when we stand together,no matter the darkness we bring a pound our self's,stand strong for one another,never single yourself out from the world. *peace math and science~

[lukkyluke1991]

I watch this video as vevo advertise "david guetta - I can only imagine feat. chris brown and lil wayne" underneath, now I am really losing hope...

[datkid56]

While you Sit here On your Stool

men Are dieing Out in War for You

Are you Satisfied with Your daily Games

When outside The bubble The decisions Are Made

Eating what Is being Given but You don't Search for More

Acting as The blind Consumer you Believe in Every tale That has Been told

Sitting in Your couch Watching the Television

Never going Outside to See with Your own Vision

Yes you Are the Sheep

and With your Eyes closed You stay Asleep

[failbait]

Saw this live, almost cried.

[deathcrusher12]

wow another smash bush video...............fantastic its amazing that a band that covered such a truly groundbreaking song would have such a cliche video.

[michahm96]

@deathcrusher12 its not smashing bush, its smashing everyone whos ever thought they were in power.

[bohottie]

@deathcrusher12 What the fuck are you talking about? They had a picture of Bush for like 4 secs...

And it's not even about people in power; it's about ALL people fretting over stupid bullshit all the time. If anything, I'd say it's completely targeting the media...reporting on shallow stupid shit just to make a dollar.

If all you saw was the Bush thing, then you're a moron. Sorry...no other way to put it.

[Ashcraft99]

Boooooooooooo

[HamzaWaked]

... I hope some day VAGINA !

[Ruslan1030]

The voice 

[ByFeniKz]

I'm a dreamer! but I'm not the only one :)

[ZaCiubaCabra]

I like the huge gap between the music video and the news rolling on the bottom of the page.

[Stormassacra]

Great job dudes !

[tilidin]

has any1 ever just watched the scroll at the bottom while watching this its so damn funny!

[infectedruination]

John Lennon's version is saying: "This world can be saved!"

This version is saying: "This world could have been saved..".

[datkid56]

@infectedruination The world May have Altered through Generations

but The motto Is still The same

People never Change.

[timmaa9]

@infectedruination This is the most true, best thing I have read all night. Thank you sir.

[TheAsztronauta]

This song is beautiful and I love it, thought I couldn't disaggree more with the lyrics. Keenan still deserves respect nonetheless.

[playmannn]

You are just a bunch of pathetic suicidal fux! Do you really think John Lennon sang it NOT being aware of these things happening all over the world?!...He sang it even though he knew of them, that's why he's as great as this band can never imagine to become...

[Scootercakes]

@playmannn You do not understand this remake at all sir..

[vanillasquirel]

@playmannn

Wow, what an angry child. I don't think John would have appreciated that attitude..I don't think anybody is saying he wasn't aware of the world's problems..as the song is about the hope humanity can overcome the problems..religion, war, greed, hunger and so on. Also, if you had experienced depression, or had a family member commit suicide, your attitude towards that subject may be less apathetic and ignorant.

[maxshow27]

is this band anti illuminati?????

[CanadianPolybius]

@maxshow27

...I don't believe they have any views on that conspiracy theory.

Stop hi-jacking everything with your Illuminati bs.

[MrNezic]

@maxshow27 NO, I'm sick of this... The Illuminati are dead. They've been dead for hundreds of years. They studied under Galileo Galilei. They were astronomers and biologists. They were disproving Religion and it's bullshit (Not God, just religion) So, the roman catholic church had them killed, All of them tortured and killed, after they were all dead, the Roman Catholic Church deiced to Mark them Devil worshipers and have people hate them for centuries.

[maxshow27]

@MrNezic they just killedf whitney houston?? lol on the 11th a very powerful number with the illuminati

[MrNezic]

@maxshow27 Whitney...Houston really? The one'd that was staring in Bodyguard and married that rapper addicted to Coke? She OD'ed herself you pungent fool.

[maxshow27]

@MrNezic you may say im a dreamer? but im not the only one..

[MrNezic]

@maxshow27 If you truly believe the Illuminati are your enemy then you have already lost... Quite funny too.

[Oxpost]

@maxshow27 You are aware of the fact that all the Illuminati talk is just plain bullshit, right?

[maxshow27]

@Oxpost well they are getting things ready for the antichrist

[Oxpost]

@maxshow27 Where's your proof for this down right retarded statement?

[Jksilvasantos]

WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE!

[jsparrowfan]

I like this version better... I love APC

[DozleZabi]

World Peace? Ha. What a joke.

[Ninyth]

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one! there is always hope guys

[Chimoritaaa]

So eery..

[jamho3113]

1:02 man electrocuted trying to save cat... ok...

[SpecialAmv]

Do not condemned this world that you can change

[MsGhoulScout]

fuck this world. just fuck it

[HmNiTyTy]

@MsGhoulScout With a spork!

[kalayia1]

Beautifuulllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maecapricorn]

@jeslee213 and @TINSYbitGRUESOME I'm sorry that i sounded aggressive i just really love that song, the original version, and when i heard this one it caught me off guard. i'm a teenager and I'm not a big fan of remakes, and I've been a Beatles fan for like 4 years. like i said it's one of my favorite songs, however i wasn't putting down fans of this group and music, and once again I am sorry about those posts.......I'll remove 'em if ya want

[DucksAreWin]

@maecapricorn Dont like a song? Just ignore it. I dont like dubstep but shitting on it just makes you an ass. Its not like this song deletes John Lennon's Imagine, its still out there if you prefer it.

Im more of a pessimist/realist rather than an optimist so this one just pulls me in more.

[TINSYbitGRUESOME]

@maecapricorn

They're just trying to put their own spin on the song.You love the original and how Lennon was promoting peace; but you're contradicting yourself with that pious bullshit. 'There is still hope for this society'? That's so hypocritical that you say that and talk about respecting Lennon's dream and yet you put down everyone else who simply likes this music.You have your opinion but you don't have to be so aggressive.Your just provoking the 'A Perfect Cirlce' loving community. Y H8?

[AleBstmnt100]

En serio después de ver el video en esas cosas estan pensando? Really? that's the best thing you can comment about after watching this video?

[jeslee213]

@maecapricorn To "move" means to stir up emotions, any kind of emotion, not just happy ones...if you didn't like it, you shouldn't have listened to it all the way through...just so ya know.

[xadam86]

A perfect cover!!

[MrTubeyou323]

perfect circle" snapped on this!!

[MrTubeyou323]

i believe john lennon was trying to give us a heads up, about our secret society, anyone agree, if not i dont care, thats my theory.

[maveth1]

Only one good part about this music and its the lyrics and they didnt write them LOL listen to John ;)

[AzraelLeichten]

@maveth1 It's a cover, durr. :| Musicians do that.

[maveth1]

@AzraelLeichten I know durr but just saying its not good listen to john for good music :)

[mickygarbagecabron]

@sebassantamariap muy cierto

[ThcAllb33f]

@SuperSelfproclaimed yes, yes you are

[drummerbadass1]

@ThcAllb33f How come dirtbag Maynard's best songs are written by someone else??

[edkrugaa]

One of the best covers I've ever heard!

[Alfonsicle]

<3

[aLLi5n0tS3Lf]

love the bass.peace

[SuperSelfproclaimed]

i'm such a selfish piece of shit

[PSCreativeGaming]

@davidfflick no iraq wont a have a civil war. The kurds wont let that happen, and the shiite govt is very strong. And ye theres suffering everywhere, even in the united states. And aii is on its last string, once there all dead iraq will be completely safe (except for common criminals). Shiites are to strong to retaliate.

[FabSquirrel303]

love the last ticker about DEVO

[PSCreativeGaming]

@davidfflick usa isnt in iraq anymore, and terrorists killed more iraqis than usa. And only the sunni queda pple are active. By the end of the year it will be safer than russia or nyc or detroit. Ok u dumby and i talk to iraqis that are in iraq and they say its safe.

[davidfflick]

@PSCreativeGaming The "terrorists" wouldn't have got the chance if we'd left Iraq alone. You say it's safe, I say there will be strife and suffering, and perhaps a civil war. And please, do yourself a favor and don't call people stupid when it's obvious they have more intellect in their little finger than you have in your mind.

[darkshagrath316]

@davidfflick hehe guy...you. united state sucks.....you dont have any reaason to stay in iraq....get out of iraq and let him live in peace..youre a thief .......and let ll the fucking world in peace dumbass

[PSCreativeGaming]

Dude iraq is at its safest in 50 years...

[davidfflick]

@PSCreativeGaming Yeah, keep buying what they are selling. How many bombings did Iraq have before we invaded? Our military killed more Iraqis than Iraqis ever did, by the way.

[DPwatkykjy]

powerful video

wish someday there will be no more governements, no money, reset the human race as a whole, no corporate greed, no suffering

[MPHIY17]

@DPwatkykjy What you're thinking of is called a Class 1 civilization. And, sadly, we're a long long way from being one. The world won't unit for, more than likely, 100+ years.

[Neurotik51]

@DPwatkykjy and no fun

[happyninja42]

ok sorry, nice song, good video, except for the babies. they were just creepy XD

[wnxsilence]

@kevins201 Fear IS the problem, and obviously the solution to it is love. The true experience of love must be the starting point for all change, but few of us have any understanding of what love really is... If we can have this feeling of love in ourselves and the world around us, it will be the beginning of our evolution as individuals and as a whole planet. I think we should all explore for ourselves what love is... since anyone in a state of fear has in the moment lost that feeling of love...

[Nazual]

A perfect Circle did NOT ruin this song they showed there respect for the song so all the dislikes really think about it do you think they really ruined it or just added to it over all power and meaning to the song

[MApenaloza1]

295 dislikes how people dont like this foking cover this is amazing johnlennon has to be approud of a perfect circle

wow this is amazing this is masterpiece

[Saxboyy92]

i hate it

[footballhead707]

@Saxboyy92 and u have failed my son

[jesterthehashking]

the differnce witch i like is john lennon sings it like okay lets fix the world and a perfect circle sings it like yeah were totaly fucked

[134Richy]

@jesterthehashking totally agree

[LivingJustice13]

beautiful

[RyanTheJoker85]

WTF IS A VEVO!? XD



[BlueOctober13th]

Heard the original long ago when I was SOOO crazy about the Beatles and John Lennon. Just got into tool/APC and found this song and it is SO AMAZING! Thank you Maynard for remaking this amazing song and putting such a powerful image to it as well <3

[andypmz07]

@BlueOctober13th DUDEE!! IF you like Tool and apc then you'll love puscifer.. :) maynards latest bands.. everywhere I go I see people talking about tool and apc yet most of them havent heard of puscifer yet its clearly the best work maynard has done.

[awashedupsterotype]

Great cover. Ive listened to this cover before the actual john lennon song lmao.

The Video is really sad its a dose of reality and shows how evil us humans can be. LIKE THIS IF YOU WANT THAT DOLPHIN BACK!

[TheSeph1984]

Lennon would be proud of Keenan with this cover.

[somika87]

@TheSeph1984 you deserve a thumbs up for the sole fact that I approve your taste in music and that you were born before 1990. Plus I agree with what you said.

[MrWolfBerger]

Really good cover. And excellent song.

But i think, It's just a utopia... It's impossible in our time. Sad but true.

P.S. Anyway, i hope it could be happen in the far future. But not in our lives...i'am sure.

[ksw2599]

this is brilliant! hopeful lyrics but the video and the tone demonstrate how dire the current situation really is. it's sad that we don't live in the ideal world but we should struggle to make a progress for it

[vagisil96]

Of all the artists that has remade this song? Perfect circle kicks all of them to pieces!

This is by far the best version of John Lennon's Imagine! In fact, I would rather listen to this version than Lennon's! Maynard kicks ass and everyone else's!

Powerful video and awesome that they didnt stick it liek other artist wiht the pianos and all! The best cover of any cover I have ever heard!

[XxAlliexMariexX]

I love this.... <3

[Andso100492]

Excellent.

[basking1134]

If a song could tell a story not once but over and over. In a new age this song still has power I am a dreamer!!! Dream with me!!!

[xaimon8910]

1:25 Colombian fans!!! thats the pibe valderramas wig >_<

[WhynotMiha]

I do not understand how a human being can be expected to be life bound to a country, going to wars, giving their lives for something so imaginary as a nation.

[mzombie90]

O_o 3:15 man in car jerkin' off xD

[kyledukes49]

Amazing, john lennon sounds way too happy singing this. the world sucks

[Leetzar]

@wnxsilence Well, "Why, must countless millions suffer, starve, and die? Is another world possible?".. For a simple reason, because MILLIONS like you and me, would never trade places with them or want to be anywhere near what they have

[Sichify]

Someone wrote a comment to this song once.. Think its time to refresh it for others.

The original version says; "We can save the world"

The new version; "We could have saved the world.."

[InfamousWolf1]

@Sichify The even newer version; "There is still a chance, don't give up or give in."

[MsBeautifulVirgo]

@Sichify wait...where does it say that? aren't the lyrics the same?

[TheKyoput]

This is a world none of us are ready for.

We can only imagine it.

[bored2death123ya]

This is, like, the communist's theme song.

[michahm96]

@bored2death123ya yes, but communism is an amazing principle

[CommunityRiot]

@michahm96 Hardly. It's a principle based upon impractical idealism. As a concept it ignores basic human instincts of greed and the drive to succeed. As comforting an idea as it may seem, history has proven that it is a thoroughly flawed principle.

[BliksemSP]

@CommunityRiot Impracticality lies within capitalism, where the needs of many will never be acknowledged.

[BigLoveForRock]

The lyrics are kinda cheerful,but the music is so dark..

[RandomAnonamo]

I love how dark this comes off. I'm using it in a DnD game I'm running because I'm a huge nerd.

[IvySixx23]

@DarthMohammed i think exacly like u...exept i think the entire human rase needs to die..we hav fucked yourselfs up so bad..humanity is in my opion "stuiped" theres some smart ppl out there but ther hard to find..and da only reason why there religon is because ppl cant think for them selfs so they hav to beliven in a "higher power" to go to...and befor u say anything lik im stuiped im only 12 and i already think like this..

[Piercerhys]

@IvySixx23 I agree, and your smart! But yes, its true. There are a billion jokes on human stupidity, but apparently, we'll take awhile to learn what we're joking about...

[Ajmdude]

Wow

[sqweebel1]

this just makes the song sound evil and sad, the complete opposite of what the lyrics are supposed to be telling you. this sucks.

[doodleguitarist]

@sqweebel1 No. John's was like a hope that some day it will change. This sort of tells you: "It's been 30 years and we still have the same problems... maybe it's never gonna change".

[DeathSlice420]

@sqweebel1 It's like that because the world is a much darker place now, 40 years after the original, than it was back then.

[MrDefmike]

awesome video, still keeps the power of the original :)

[Angelkillsdevils]

John Lenon is a genius for writing this; APC is amazing, for covering this.

[chailatte727]

I hate how the rich couple fish for dolphins. That just made me depressed :(

Good song tho!

[BlackSN8K]

I Hate everyone!... :-)

[Natka]

there's no hope



[BlackSN8K]

And u will never live your dream.

[ChengMaMusic]

Wow, this video is great, if you can please check my channel because i am a 14 year old singer who is just chasing his dream. Please make sure this is the top comment so everyone can see.

[TheRiseofDenial]

I hope some day 279 people will join us.

[killacam876]

I wonder what would happen if Youtube started to hire Moderators to make Youtube civilized? o.o... I can't even imagine.

[nickhaleymattays]

I love this song, but it's meaning scares me. Yeah, peace is wonderful. But if we have to give up everything that defines us, then I don't want that peace. I'm not very patriotic or religious, but I do have so much to live for, and I do have things I would be willling to die for. Without those, we would all be exactly the same, and that is much more terrifying than war.

[wnxsilence]

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein

Knowledge is conditioned to the past, but not imagination. Imagination is a process of spontaneity, of creativity in the now. But why in our world of great beauty, a world of material abundance and with all the necessities of life... why, in this world of ours do billions of human beings live in the most miserable poverty and deprivation? Why, must countless millions suffer, starve, and die? Is another world possible?

Imagine.

[TheMdphd]

@wnxsilence there... -just note to myself-

[luciduspostremo]

@wnxsilence

"is another world possible?" Not if we reach 10 billion

[yeshmayn]

@wnxsilence all great men know that they do not know everything

[TheTwilightalehouse]

@wnxsilence Money.........thats why...

[firegod001]

THIS is how you pay homage to a great man and a great song, by putting your own spin on it, but respecting the intent of the original, as opposed to completely changing its meaning and pissing all over the original performer's grave.

[AnonChopin]

Imagine there's a heaven

It's easy if you try

A fiery hell below us

Gods living in the sky

Imagine all the people wishing their lives away

Imagine there's more dogma

It isn't hard to do

Scripture to kill and die for

And more religions too

Imagine all the people fighting holy wars

[XxsoulermachinaxX]

this is an unattainable dream. no such thing will ever be achieved, at least not in my lifetime. look around you, all you will see is the world slowly killing itself, one day at a time. it's ironic that the song actually is titled "Imagine" because that is all you can do. Imagine a peaceful world, a world you can only see in your dreams. If there is such a thing as an afterlife, i hope it is a world like this......

[Intheflesh93]

@XxsoulermachinaxX I interpret the song similarly. So often unwarranted statements are thrown around and accepted simply because it's convenient for the individual to do so under his/her own framework for one reason or another. The song itself provides us with a good example of this. "Imagine there's no countries.....Nothing to kill or die for." Conflicts aren't unique to governments, people fight over countless things and show no signs of stopping. The meaning lies in a questioning of itself.

[Toiletcorpse]

@MegaFallout2012 Fallout reference. I approve.

[canesrule96]

I love their dark rendition.

[executehelenkeller]

Those babies are fucking creepy.

[henchmen999]

C-Loo Green can eat a dick.

[MachineheadNikos1989]

278 people has no imagination !!!

[MrBarfbag94]

this song kinda reminds of assassin's creed.. idk why. i think its the apocalyptic melody that apc put in. AWESOME. happy 2012 everybody ! :) hahaha

[Gray86Fox]

*listening now*

[twyggy]

Never forget you're human.

The same things you hate about other people, are the same things you hate about yourself. The same things you love about yourself, are the same things you love about other people..

We're all human brother.

I hope some day you will join us, and the world will live as one.

[soadpwnsyou]

@twyggy

I have a problem with your comment.

You say: "The things you hate about other people, are the same things you hate about yourself."

That is false.

Example: You can hate rapists and you are not a rapist.

[twyggy]

@soadpwnsyou

Think on it a little more. :)

[VanillaNyourIceCream]

@soadpwnsyou they mean the flaw you see in others is the flaw you see in yourself. Your talking about actions, although I agree with you.

[MrJesseDP]

277 people have no imagination

[brodythompson1]

great song

video was good... until the singing dolls
