  • Which brings me to my next point, kids...don't do drugs... :P

  • I gave this it's 1000th "like" I'm happy.

  • It's a load of shit that Ashes Divide isn't more popular...

  • why the gay ass ad before the vid, its repulsive

  • 19 people were trapped in that contraption too long. 

  • Devo Keenan.

  • Maynard James Keenan and Billy Corgan had a kid?

  • Billy Howerdel is the creator of a perfect circle, have some respect.

  • I know his is all about Howerdel but tool/apc/maynard brought me here bc it is all great music so enjoy it!

  • this*

  • @ThePrincessDianah same here

  • sick song!!!!

    \

  • Amazing stuff, APC and Tool are still better

  • Killer song and whack video! love it.

  • @deviantcoyote You whacked to this video? Interesting...

  • I Really can give on shit less. All I know is everytime I hear Tool, APC, Puscifer, Are Ashes Divide Im gonna be loving it. Long live Maynard and Howerdel for making it so.

  • can someone tell me what this video symbolizes? or what the song is about

  • @disturbed19th My interpretation is that this song is about the philosopher's stone. About how people pretend that their reality is real when in fact it's is illusory and your true purpose is figure this out so we can change / evolve.

    Tool sings about the same things. Read the lyrics for Lateralus. It's about spiraling out of this current paradigm of thinking.

  • This guy is Voldemort

  • I only listen to puscifer for my dose of new maynard material. A lot of it seems like filler, and a lot of it is. But sprinkled here and there on the albums is a gem worth listening to over and over

  • I listened to apc for the music,not maynard and billy is a good singer but i love the music, very talented guy

  • I hope people would give Billy credit for A Perfect Circle since he after all created the band and most if not all of the songs. Maynard joined the band after hearing Billy's songs while he was a guitar tech for Tool. Billy originally wanted a female singer. The reason they sound similar is because Billy does BGVs and main vocals on a lot of APC. I'd rather not hear Maynard on this. Let Billy do his own thing. Maynard is famous enough.

  • I like two musical Billys. One divides ashes, the other smashes pumpkins.

  • drug trip in video form

  • This video trips me out and I don't even do drugs!

  • good song everyone should check out rishloo very similar to apc..

  • 17 people would rather listen to the song Friday

  • billy howerdell created APC and asked Maynard to sing for it because Billy was the stage tech for Tool Maynard said yes its that simple and im pretty sure billy did a good job at playing the guitar in all of APC's songs

  • I finally understand the message of this video. We as a people are naturally kind and caring. We only go to war because shadows in suits tell us we have to. We all live our lives awkwardly by bending to the whim of "officials" who control our lives and who's only reasoning is that WE need THEIR protection from OURSELVES. Untl we stop pretending that what is going on in this world today is "OK" and start accepting the fact that being free means MAKING OUR OWN DECISIONS WeWillNeverBreakThrough!!!

  • @EvilCerb it took you 2 years to understand the message in this song?

  • @aribbcp Yup. Its takin two years for me to really "listen" to it. Not just sing along with the words and rock the awesome solo like when i was still in high school. Obviously my mind was on other things.

    ... And I still freak to the solo to this day. (--)\m/

  • @shredswami no man almost all of emotive was mynard the rest was old 60s songs protesting the war. But for the 13th step that was all mynard and very little billy

  • Really? Mynard is no where intwined with his sons musi completey diffren

  • Billy Howerdel is a good musician but isn't a good singer.

  • @notredame6523 I disagree. Billy is very great at singing!

  • apc and ashs divide both rock i love song writting in both Maynard has nothing to do with this band...

  • I found out about ashes via the Wikipedia page for A Perfect Circle. F***ING AWESOME!!! Must buy!

  • why even bother who is most responsible, theyre fuckin geniuses apart and even better together. Maybe one of them is more responsible than the other, but that doesnt matter cause its wonderful

  • Comment removed

  • Please make more music :-)

  • When's the new Ashes Divide album coming out, Billy!

  • i like the music but i think hes stuck under maynards shadow. Although i love the hell out of maynard he is a musical genius that is capable of brilliance I would like howerdel to have a little more confidence in himself. it sounds like apc is going to have the great songs and ashes divide is going to have the mediocre ones

  • se parece a voldemort

  • why does this guy remind me of pin head from hell raiser?

  • too emo lycrics even tho nice music

  • Thank you once again for a great ablum and beautiful piece of art Billy.

    Absolutely excited to see what you have in store for us with future APC work.

  • To me, Ashes Divide is not just some side project of Howerdel's. This album is one of my favorites of all time; it grew on me like crazy. I like it even more than APC (yes, I said it).

  • come and get your Bald-Retard-Powered-1880's-Min­i-train today! they're selling faster then wacky-waving-inflatable-arm-fl­ailing-tube-men!

  • it might sound weird but in a way it feels like music takes me away from my own personal hell sometimes its what gets me through the day and it reminds me of who i am....so thank you

  • wow Billy i am totally diggin this!

  • That's a good song :)

  • ashes divide, tool, apc, nin, htda, puscifer, tapeworm = boss

  • @cainmartel totally agree bro

  • @cainmartel marilyn manson will always have a special place in my heart for antichrist superstar and mechanical animals .... just 2 exceptionally different but superb albums about politics, religion, love, american hypocrisy

  • @cainmartel Mr. Devo, Sorry for being rude and delusional. Please forgive me. I have a diagnosis of schizophrenia. I thought I was going to marry your Dad. I didn't lust after him. Hallelujah! Please forgive me of all my trespasses. Sincerely and Love in God, Kristin P.S. Matthew 6:14 KJV For if ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly Father will also forgive you: Oh, and I'm only half Jewish if I mentioned it; Sorry!

  • @cainmartel tapeworm? wasn't that never released by reznor and maynard?

  • @RaialMusic A couple songs got released through Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, like Potions by Puscifer and Passive by A Perfect Circle. I was really just referencing the partnership of some of my favorite artists. Can you imagine if Thom Yorke was part of that?! Damn, they'd be unstoppable.

  • found these guys on the xbox live radio....they play some good stuff...luv the band

  • PEOPLE

    Y U NO COMMENT

  • Such a 90s video.

  • Billy Howerdel is a genius. And a totally ace guitarist.

  • so fucking fantastic..I'm so glad a guy I know introduced ashes divide to me. I get such intense goosebumps. bloody good! it still happens from 2009 to now!

  • Still freese on the drums?

  • @eathe07 no, its jeff friedl. He is playing on apc's tour this summer too. he also played on puscifer

  • Nasty, it sounds like a toilet flushing, to me. To each their own though.

  • this is really good... I want some more apc stuff too

  • Vevo sucks!

    

  • WOW Ashes virgin no more -- another favorite band to add to the list

  • Justin Bieber is quoted to have said, "I feel like the Kurt Cobain of my generation" to which is replied, "Kurt Cobain felt like the Justin Bieber of his time. So he shot himself.".. Enough said.

  • @Serj511Guitar

    Oh &*#@ that is cruel but I'm rolling the floor

    Justin you listening?

  • @Serj511Guitar what the fuck does this have to do with ashes divide or billy howerdel?

  • @shawazonfire The people below were talking about Nirvan and Justin Bieber....

  • @Serj511Guitar

    hahah...

  • Does anyone else get a sort of "Tears for Fears vibe" when listening to Howerdels voice? It's also too bad that this song and band hasn't gotten the recognition they deserve....but, I guess that's the story of music....

  • Hey dumbasses, quit comparing this to Tool and APC. It's not another Maynard band, so the comparisons are pointless. Howerdel obviously wanted to start something else with a different sound.

  • found it by mistake! what a good f'n video! start off kinda slow, but because I'm stoned, I listened to it. It kick ass! I didn't want it to end! nice fucking work!

  • I love this song, but the video is seriously fucked up .

  • 14 people were going bad on acid while seeing this clip.

  • Meh I prefer TOOL and APC. This sounds a bit too commercialized for my tastes.

    And I don't understand how someone could even think this sounds similar to Nirvana.

  • reminds me of nirvana 

  • @MatthewTheGrt how the fuck does it remind you of nirvana?!? whats next you going to say justin bieber reminds you of kurt cobain??? stfu

  • @c0ldelement its my opinion you have 1 and i have 1

  • @MatthewTheGrt its not a opinion its just a stupid statement no way in any way can this song sound like Nirvana you abviously never heard of nirvana..

  • @MatthewTheGrt not even close...

  • This masterpiece of a song has such an ironic yet beautiful message. <3

  • kinda of has that Filter sound to it..

  • does sound very filter-ish... but aye its billy. good on him.

  • is that devo keenan?

  • If i ever form a band, all we'd do is get along with the Tool > APC > .. evolution, add another equally brilliant pianist to the group & then try to make an album or two.. wait.. WTF??

    lol.. whatever you say, Billy Howerdel i pure genius. & i simply hope i get to meet him someday.

  • Sounds like Duran Duran and Filter had a baby, and might I say....FUCK YES!

  • @kevinqcowart I truly believe that the meaning should solely be left to the listener. If resistance is what this song conveys to you, than let it be. Let it heal you, because as soon as you go digging for it's real meaning, you'll never again be able to hear it for what you want it to be.

  • Billy Corgan looks great in this vid

  • Yeah, Billy was the major lyricist/music writer for APC, the Tool influence was mostly him being influenced by Maynard's proximity to the whole project. At least that's how I understood it. Definitely going to have to pick this album up, killer track.

  • A lot of ppl give Maynard the credit for APC... but Billy i think is mostly responsible if not at least 50/50

  • @wurzyking When it comes to A Perfect Circle it is 50/50 between Billy and Maynard. Billy is responsible for composing the music in the band and Maynard is responsible for providing the lyrics. With out both of those we would have no APC.

  • @wurzyking APC is Billy's brainchild mostly. Not Maynard's.

  • @wurzyking It really is a near 50/50 band. Howerdel stated that he has a lot of songs lined up and he's been talking to Maynard Keenan about which songs are going to be on APC's album, and the rest are likely to make an AD album.

  • @Patchworkdrum oh i agree compleatly... hence my comment lol you can see it in the amount of similarity's between AD and APC

  • @wurzyking I actually have never listened to APC, and I just recently got into TOOL, but I was looking up info on whether or not Ashes broke up, and it said the whole thing about Billy working on APC first.

  • @wurzyking Billy writes all the music, while Maynard writes the lyrics, so I suppose it all depends on how you look at it. If it's APC's sound that defines them, then for sure its Billy's baby. While the music is top notch, its Maynard's lyrics that really does it for me. Same with Tool. Maynard doesn't have a huge role in music composition as far as I'm aware. He's just a word man. But he's one of the best lyricists in rock music today, in my opinion.

  • @wurzyking Maynard just writes the lyrics and sings. Billy does the majority of the composing.

  • @wurzyking yea billy wrote a good amount of the songs apparently

  • @wurzyking billy writes all the music for APC. Maynard is responsible for the vocals/lyrics.

    

  • @shredswami false

  • @wurzyking I say so...50/50 maynards lyrics and Billy's musical brilliance....they combine to make such a stellar band though....I love it

  • @wurzyking Just found this band, I've been so ignorant of this idea.

  • @wurzyking well it was his band

  • @wurzyking Psht. APC is all about Josh Freese's ridiculous ability to drum like a God.

  • @kargath101 Bullshit its all about B. Howerdel and Maynard. Actually, all of APC's artists are great. But, B. Howerdel is the one that brought them together.

  • @kargath101 I dont think so. There's Maynard in APC too. Hard to forget this fact. :)

  • @wurzyking billy did start up APC Maynard just said yeah ill sing btw why is maynard and APC being brought up on a Ashes Divide video?

  • @wurzyking billy is very talented, and i see what you mean, but imagine if maynard sang this song how much better it would sound... ;)

  • @wurzyking True, but Maynard got the publicity

  • good stuff

  • your funny people

  • This song really reminds me of Filter.

  • watered down apc

  • Dear Vevo, Let me start by saying that your filthy dick-rich corporation sucks youtube dry of democracy and fun. Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their shit...etc, we have been getting flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos. This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos.To people who want greedy corporations expelled indefinitely from youtube - thumbs up and copy this into Vevo videos.

  • Billy Howerdal is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, i've listened to his music with APC and TOOL since they started. ASHES dIVIDE was Billy's time to shine and it worked. Well at least for me.

  • Good, however, the vocals feel over produced. Too much chorus and harmony and all that.

  • I love this band so much .....they need to put out a new album

  • 11 people are jealous :)

  • Dont Stop Billy! We need you and Maynard to defeat the oncoming horde of Justin Bieber blood suckers who are out to destroy good music!

  • Billy Howerdel > Billy Corgan

  • Billy = Voldemort in this.

    But I love his music from this and APC

  • Matt reminds me so much of Voldemort.. Just sayin'. ^__^ Love all his music from this an APC

  • I was starting to fear for the good in music when Maynard lost his voice... But APC is back! Long live Tool, APC and ASHES dIVIDE!

  • one expression :1

    through the whole song lmfao!

  • Could say that again...but awesome song:)

  • this is one weird-ass video.

  • Impossible to hate this song!!!

  • i cant get enough

  • GUYS HELP ME OUT HERE!!!! this has been bothering me for ever theres this band and there english i think they wrote the giving birth to a stone lp/ep idk which 1 any suggestions? ik its a little vague

  • @doeyenou Peach had one album, called Giving Birth To A Stone. Peach's bassist is Justin Chancellor, who is now Tool's bassist. Listen to "You Lied" and "Spasm" by Peach. Singer's voice gets a bit annoying after a while, but other then that they're really good.

  • billy howardell looks alot like maynard

  • Billy is an amazing guy. But props to the cute ass amazing bassist Matt McJunkins! He's a cool dude!

  • You guys are idiots. Maynard himself said that Billy wrote all the music. Billy had most of the 1st album ready. Billy showed the songs to Maynard and Maynard said he could hear himself singing the songs. Then it just blew-up. Billy is nice by saying that it's 50/50. Maynard thinks its important for the music to come first...then the lyrics/words. Listen to King Crimson.

  • i would like this song more if Maynard sang it

  • @bullsfan93 i love maynard too bro, but seriously, this isn't Tool or APC, this is Billy's time in the spotlight

  • @Agravesituation billy shines in this light doesnt he? at least imho he does :)

  • @Agravesituation yeah dude well said.

  • @Agravesituation You right 100%<3

  • APC wouldn't be the band we know without maynard....

  • good song, weird video

  • @Crimsonphilosphy - You do realize that Billy Howerdel wrote the lyrics and most of the music for APC since it was his band? He just felt like Maynard's vocals would better suit the music he was trying to create.

  • @ranbarh this isn't true at all most of the song's lyrics were written by maynard; except most of the songs of emotive of course (covers)... just take a look at the song Judith...why would Billy Howerdel write a song about Maynard's mom? and this is just one example. just setting the record straight

  • @Wakatempo no.. he only wrote a few. but its a supergroup so.. gotta spread the credit at times.

  • @Wakatempo Billy wrote most of APC stuff. MAynard was a words guy, he helped Billy word things better and provided flow to the lyrics. Yes some songs Maynard did write (Most of Mer De Noms was written by Maynard.) But APC is really Billy's.

  • @LiliumCruorem Don't you hate how people don't know that. Billy's name should be as big as Maynard

  • It's like a not as good version of APC

  • @crazylara101 You're on crack, I love APC, Tool and Ashes Divide and you'd be blind to not realise that Billy is the star of the show of APC. He writes all the songs anywa.y

  • @adj209 He doesn't write all of the songs, anyway yeah he's good, I just think Maynard is the star.

  • ashes divide isn't that cool cuz they are a little bit like linkin park and linkin park sucks... a perfect circle is much better and cooler

  • Ashes Divide, a great side project from Billy Howerdel. I absolutely love this tune. it invokes plenty from A Perfect Circle. my, how they are sorely missed.

  • Comment removed

  • I always felt like he imitated Maynard's vocals in these songs, their kind of cut/produced the same way

  • Awesome!!!!! One of the geniuses behind A Perfect Circle, the MAN, Billy Howerdel! Can't wait for the new tour to start!!!

  • APC IS BACK BABY. Good music will live on.

  • @2323jgrant OMG now i have both ASHES dIVIDE and APC to listen to, two really awesome bands!!

  • @2323jgrant What? Did they announce a new album or something?

  • @2323jgrant who is APC?

  • @AresCosmos a perfect circle... O LAWD

  • @2323jgrant that poor child is lost in this world. "who is APC?" HA

  • @xRadicalAurax hey, im no child im an Adult

  • @AresCosmos No, you're a child if you don't know who APC is.
