A Perfect Circle's "The Hollow" Backwards!

[phillip69543]

Anyone notice the riff at 4:46 sounds pretty much the same backwards as it does forwards?

[XDLuLuXP]

@ 1:51-1:53 I hear him saying "Shadows"

[derek96720]

The guitar riffs in this song are INSANE! Love how it builds and builds towards the end (even though it's the beginning)

[SarahNeelyMusic]

This is really cool!

[floatingtophatprd]

0:36 to 0:44 [sounds like]

And I close my eyes/ he was praying, HEAR ME

[Gr1Ng00]

[Chr0maticAttack]

It's Spanish! I knew it.

[usukapal]

[chrisredwingsfan]

now this may just be me, but at the 1:20 mark it sounds like f**k you, lol

[Weston07Roberts07]

[Nails6342]

@Weston07Roberts07 so true so true ill listen to maynard backwards anyday over the shit that comes out these days

[KessonD]

Ok I'm definitely high, but that's fucking awesome.

[Zee96969696]

[vampike]

It sounds like pop music back words lol.

[milkmandan77]

[GaaraOfTheFunkXD]

[GallowayJesse]

anal sex

[Feezlebee]

Wow.. Thats trippy. I still love it though.

[the1andonlyDarkAngel]

play track 4 on Tools' Lateralus backward... Tool is where the true weird shit lives...

[Bstabbinu]

it doesn't make much sense but at about :17 it sounds like he says "I don't know, he who has saved me"?

[RespectUniverse]

@Bstabbinu :44 "it's in the mirrors" directly after.

[Bstabbinu]

@RespectUniverse haha ahhhhh man that's awesome

[rellik31486]

@ :44 "its no use"?

[highdeserthater]

APCs songs sound just as good backwards as they do normal!!!

[thetaliaalghul]

This song backwards is better than 99% of the crap on the radio forwards. Thank you...nicely done :)

[ArchUriel89]

try to play reflection by tol backwards.it the same song if you play it backwards or forward

[HeuristicThought]

this is so awesme

[iocanepowder]

lol it turned into thirty seconds to mars

[SmiffWit]

@iocanepowder it totally did

[Masterdeefy1]

@iocanepowder holy shit, I thought the same thing! lol

[lukester5280]

@iocanepowder BAhahahaha

[operationshine]

AWESOME! :) Thanks for making this. If more people did this kind of thing for fun, instead of being worried about "satanic shit", we would probably discover a lot of interesting things!

[celestialsnail]

Oh wow, at 0:43 you can hear very clearly "Let me year you sing." Not creepy or satanic or anything, I just thought it was cool.

[celestialsnail]

@celestialsnail Well herpa derpa, I meant *hear, not year.

[DarkestofTimes]

@celestialsnail your right...that's cool man

[soxfan849]

@celestialsnail It kinda sounds like he says "if I were 21" at about 1:09.

[lamiamina]

it's awesome!

[ll4looks]

Eeeeeehiaaaaa fahesacccccccccc!

[invaderzim34511]

this song is so good, i like it backwards also.

[FretslingerAG]

thats because it is the same song...but backwards. o_0

[TheChosenFew666]

it sounds like the same song backwards...cool...

[Hakate666]

it sounds great forward and backward because Maynard James Keenan is a genius. For real the man is and always has been a god; just like Trent Reznor. so thank you for the video as it just proves what I have been saying for a long time. Maynard James Keenan is god! bow your insolent heads and grovel before who now is your new fucking messiah.... ROFLMAO I had you there for a second huh. like i'm a psycho.

[ZAN479]

does anyone have the mp3 for this song backwards?? itd be much appreciated!!

[sobored671]

EAR RAPE EAR RAPE EAR RAPE

[parabolaNSD]

@sobored671 its not rape if its willing XD

[SouthShoreFilmmakers]

Part 2: take my hand/before we stop breathing/the tightwire/what price we pay/

all the years with me/hear me/what we used to know/all the hard earned heartache/?/what I won't know/?/eating the poison words/eaten voices/we know who the ? is/who knows

[SouthShoreFilmmakers]

Oh my friend/it's time you start believing/all I wanted was tonight/don't wanna hear a thing/but hear me sigh/Grow cold/in the night/hear your whisper/hear me/Let me hear you sing/Oh I gave my feelings on everything/Here I thought I was the one/Oh I could have shared it all/forgive your narcissismx2/and now I wander across/through the eye of a cyclone/I awoke last night/Wandering sleeper walk it off/What'd I share, you said/Lay by ?/I would walk across cyclones

[bobbieholbrook]

This sounds awesome

[sketchyou]

I really wish that for Presidential elections, they would just use a Like (Thumbs Up) / Dislike (Thumbs Down) system like the one youtube has incorporated instead of a balloting system and save us the time. phwoah.

[Gretsche87]

@sketchyou I feel there would be too many instances where I would thumbs down both candidates...

[sketchyou]

@Gretsche87 HAHA! 1st of all, that is just Gnarly! 2nd of all, replied to a comment totally unrelated to the video.. Haha! YOU ROCK!

[SDBdub619]

Now if you could interpret the words for it, Maynard would be very proud!

[clovelr]

wow thats some neat shit.

[TearsAmongAshes]

You know what happens when you play a New Kids On The Block record backward? They sound BETTER.

[theWalrusDude]

@TearsAmongAshes I love Bill so much..

[TearsAmongAshes]

@theWalrusDude Don't we all. Fortunately, guys like Doug Stanhope are still carrying the torch. And of course, there's you and me.

[jv1701]

HAVE NO FEAR!!! Satan's language can ony be understood backward and sublimally so all of us forward speaking and thinking people are cool.

[HuggableFreak]

indeed it really sounds good:D

[alexupson]

i like it

[Way2manydoses]

What are you looking for fucktard, it is perfect straightforward.......jesus on a stick...

[DanielSherrer]

What I like about playing a song backwards is the MUCH different feeling you get from it. This one for example is one of the most different songs when played backwards as compared to forwards that i've found. Very amazing artwork within this song.

[autokreig1]

Sounds like Serj Tankian. lol.

[twillithdizzy]

its beautiful backwards!

[kwnichols22]

@twillithdizzy

Always~

[INDUSTRIAL3X]

yeah, it's strange that even backwords, it still sounds like a song..

[ChronoPhoenix]

@INDUSTRIAL3X very strange.

[amanuelamanuel]

interesting, kinda sounds lika a japanese pop song or something :)

[arizonabay07]

I listened to this song and got clean and sober...dang it maynard. Little did I know it was right there at 1:45 played backwards...lol

[GeorgeLindsay]

this sounds so bad ass, is would be cool if you could somehow have the reversed vocals and instruments except the drums and have them play normal because I think they are the thing that makes it hardest to listen to.

[chibixaileen]

@GeorgeLindsay yea typically i think backward "messages" and all, are just all in your head but that of stairway to heaven is pretty clear to me, unless its already brainwashed me into believing it ._. lol but ive actually heard songs who actually sound better being played backwards, than normal haha xp

[chibixaileen]

oh yes..every song played backwards is going to obviously have SOME sort of message..pfft

[dougclub1]

@chibixaileen I don't honestly think there's a message here, it just sounds cool... I guess I'm the devil. *_*

[chibixaileen]

@dougclub1 eh i was just being sarcastic lol i dont here anything either and i too agree it sounds cool XD

[dougclub1]

@chibixaileen If you think it sounds like it then it's easy to make it sound that way. like the whole whispering to me part. That's partially what I think happened with Stairway to Heaven and all, but a lot of it is pretty convincing if you've ever heard it. I wish I could get it on my Ipod. lol

[mistressKIWI]

you know a song is great when it sounds good backwards

[dustinsgma]

im drunker

than my sfey

[CagedSuicide2112]

I heard "I hear you whispering to me" and "Whisper to me". Don't think its intentional though. Stuff like this is just fun to listen to.

[jbilunes]

holy shit, by the chorus parts i swear i heard "listen to me" and "hear me" fuckin creepy haha

[mystophrenic]

if you are listening to music backwards you are satan

[Dylise]

gotta steal my bill hicks joke for this! miss him...

[christopheryan]

@mystophrenic LOL!!!! Good one ;-)

[Violnplayr23]

"i hear you whispering..."

[CokeUnion]

It's a nice song. But what the hell, this shit sucks ..

[Smackenzieth]

sounds like hes speaking japanese or something. something you'd hear in the beginning of an anime cartoon

[losmazeman]

.ti teg t'nod I

[AndyDrew003]

rehtein em

[gojoego1912]

.srenetsil cixelsyd rof si tI

[CanceledCzech]

Oh man, this is awesome. I want to take the sound of it, retool it a bit, and turn it into it's own song. Of course, I'd give APC the credit ;D

[mirandansa]

Very inspirational.

[Dream2114]

some of this song sounds the same as it would played normal [i mean like the instrumental part] its pretty bad ass...

aside from "Your with me" [or atleast thats what i think i hear]... i dont hear anythin out of this

but u think somethin like this backwards is tripped out, try listenin to The Jonas Brothers backwards.. now that some satanic ass shit... had nightmares for days i swear

[dimasnorrf]

oh shit haha thats tripped me out

[cruppted]

well this is just awful....it just sounds like shit.

[conundrumomusic]

1:22-!;40 sweet! This is is great. Frm: conundrumkel  WYWH

[flashhooker]

Well, I AM stoned and this sounded...BACKWARDS!!

[Brxan44]

we too! this is fuckin trippin me out.

[shadalator]

If you want music that actually is trippy played backwards listen to Geogaddi reversed, its by boards of canada and you can find it on youtube.

A bunch of reverse synths, palindrones, and other really clever stuff. It's electronic, but amazing music for when you're stoned.

[Son37Lumiere]

It's amazing music whether stoned or not.

[richmackin]

BadBrad, you're SoaD observation is spot on, I suddenly wonder how many SoaD songs are based on other songs played backwards- or are written and played backwards..or something. (And I say that as a fan of both APC and SoaD)

[Trippy420Hippy]

I doubt any richmackin, but it's crazy to see similarities in something you never thought would be anywhere close to the same sound. I want to hear some more of these APC songs backwards though.

[Badbrad0616]

system of a down sounding....

[666789443]

I go home, heal this pain, hear me

[london5319]

really, im stoned n it sounds like nothing special...wait....nope its not

[omaregb]

LOL ur right, quit trying to impress your friends with an audio editor dude

[xoneverwantedme]

This would be great music if someone just removed the backwards lyrics.

The music still sounds amazing. Very powerful sounding.

[Samus5164]

Maynard James Keenan always did weird things with his music.

[Redn9787]

you dont ever hear any thing on your own unless ur looking for it. like if i told u at 1:14 to 1:17 he says i want you to sing if you want to" you'd listen till you found that.

[jrlakers84]

redn9787 ~ he does say i want you to sing! haha

[tzipirel]

really nice ..i love you guys

[DantesObjective]

If you are playing records backwards, you need look no further, you ARE Satan!" - Bill Hicks

[ProbablyConfused]

Haha, that's exactly what came to my mind.

[holytoolful]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA!!!FTW­

[foolishfireinthedark]

lol... it's true!!!! Man get a medic!!!

[Murdexxx]

@DantesObjective lmfao hell yea!!

[kennethmallady]

@DantesObjective That's called Bass Ackwards, honey bun!-Kenneth M.

[Kimberkills23]

@DantesObjective

lol

[Mateyhv1]

@DantesObjective Satan plays records backwards :D What a fool LOL Someone should show him how to use an MP3! Melody between 1:00 and 1:25 is nice.

[1EMERGENCE]

@DantesObjective hahaha that was fuckin great man!!

ahahaha

[grimvillian]

@DantesObjective HAAAAA

[BurnTheBluestSkies]

@DantesObjective I don't need to listen to Bill Hicks. I have voices in my head with way better quotes d:

[DingoVideoSurfer]

@DantesObjective ne thing backwards sounds creepy u creep

[jad3948]

you goddamn hippies

[THORA2012]

you R right :D sounds fine like this too :)

[Mateo808]

Pareidolia

[fredblink18287]

Nothing wrong with APC...but Tool is the real deal!

[winterblitzen09]

very much agreed! =D

[sulmagnificent]

@fredblink18287 na NIN

[ad36am]

sounds herbrew at the end haha ... 2:19 and on

[Drumtome]

i love how it still works backwards, still sounds like a song, not a disorganized mess. 1:30 is awesome.

[charleeinwonderland]

i heard heal me.

how cool

[bouncerhaze]

wow, the end sounds crazy

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

BOLYWOOD!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

[TheMacamillion]

Ring Mods <3

[SimplySLoan]

It is beautiful backwards.. and it does sound kinda like Arabic.

[JimmyBobMcGraw]

haha - from 2:20-2:35, it sounds arabic!

[looneyg25]

still sounds beautiful

[hamaka]

Theer's no hidden lyrics backwards.... but the melody is still ... marvelous...

[skalagon]

Maynard doesnt put any secret messages in his music, hence the piss take in intension.

[bebemanson]

amazing !

[armyboy699]

I believe he is saying 'i go home, heal this pain, hear me, listen to me."

[tilitongvia]

I heard the same...heal me, hear me..I will come home and will Love"

[boredfish]

One question about the video...Why?

[DjDethclown]

i tink i heard i dont wana hear your screams

[Beholdforiambob]

lol nice

[3shiftgtr]

The forward version is good music....dunno about this.

[gredangeo]

What I noticed, and liked is that the riffs still sounded similar, because of the balance of going up and down the scale!

[karmakizzii]

ooh!! this gave me goose bumps...nice too see people diggin this...anything with Maynard James Keenan rips.

[karmakizzii]

backward or forwards.

[666789443]

I think he's saying "I go home, heal this pain, hear me."

[AkilesJose]

It kinda fits it ... :)
