  • 18 people don't love their mothers.

  • He did it all for you ...

  • How about this... everyone stops trying to figure out the fucking meaning to Maynard's lyrics, just enjoy the amazing, beautiful words for what they are, his songs are gonna hit ppl with how they attatch to the music, let Maynard worry about what the lyrics are really about, you are all so fucking the opposite of what was intended with music... stop trying to figure things out, ur not gonna be any cooler... just fucking enjoy the awesomeness that is maynard's words.... or i will kill you

  • A classic love it!!!!

  • This song is about religion ...Maynard does not believe in God if you listen to his music you will see hes on the Left handed path in life not the right handed...but alot of ppl "are asleep" as maynard says! Dumbfounded ppl will see one day! & the fruit hes talkin about is about adam & eve! & hes talkin about how you alls god did this 2 you...LMFAO! ppl r so stupid when hes telling you what hes talking about! shit get a clue! that song he did 46 & 2 hes talking about practiceing magic

  • @BBlovesl 46&@ is about the next evolution in human kind with an addition of 2 chromosomes and how it relates to the conscious mind. Not magic. And yes you are right about his idea of left hand and right hand however everyone has their beliefs, let them have them.

  • @BBlovesl 46&2 is about the next evolution in human kind with an addition of 2 chromosomes and how it relates to the conscious mind. Not magic. And yes you are right about his idea of left hand and right hand however everyone has their beliefs, let them have them.

  • @BBlovesl 46&2 is in reference to Melchizedek's theory of evolution by the addition of two extra chromosomes with a strong sprinkling of Karl Jung's archetypal philosophies. Of course anyone that actually knows anything about science and doesn't get their information from Google or Wiki would know how absolutely ludicrous Melchizedek's theories were. That only makes me like Maynard more. He's such a prankster. Pulling wool over his own fans eyes over and over and over... all in fun of course.

  • @BBlovesl while maynard is an atheist, he did respect his mothers beliefs, and i believe in know way is he against religion, but he does want people to think for themselves instead of believing what people want them to believe.

  • I LUV THIS SONG \m/

  • hmbergher is right bitches.

  • Does anyone else think that the part when the girl stops playing and ties her up and goes back to playing is fuckin HOT! I do!

  • @wccwmark74 Paz Lechantin from Argentina.

    And yep. She is smoking!

  • @wccwmark74

    I'd have to agree =3.

  • FUCK, I love this song...

  • uuuyyyyyy... Paz.... bajenado en minifalda y tacones... mamacita!!!

  • lol@religious idiots

  • FUCK your god!

  • its not a satanic thing, however there is reference to religious order and following..read the lyrics closely, they quite often surround the question of faith, and yes you are 100% right about the information you posted, its a combination of things all relevant to the subject of course, epic song, epic band, godly frontman, Maynard always an inspiration

  • This this is Crazy HOT TAXXXX!!!!!!!!

  • shes got some nice legs! : D

  • Meow XXOO

  • Que les cuesta!!!!!!

  • I love how this video seems to be a "practice round" for Fight Club.

  • ha Asian lmao!!!

  • F$cking ignorant monkeys, the bassist isn't Asian! She is from Argentina stupids North Americans!

  • i love where Paz does her hair...1:52...awesome...I love her.....

  • It cracks me up how the radio played this song so many times over and over...and if they had known the lyrics and what the subject matter was they NEVER would have played this song in a million years. They didn't even bother to try and censor the part where he says "F**k your Lord your Chr*st". Nice......he did it all for you....

  • @ace7music LOL i know eh, just shows how little the radio really knows whats going on..no doubt that it breaks the controversial barrier for radio play, which is what ultimately makes the radio shit

  • In fact, look her up on YouTube.  She is shown playing with A Perfect Circle on several occasions for the album Mer de Noms.

  • Her name IS Paz Lenchantin.. google that shit. And yes she is HOT. She was the bassist for that album and she has her own career.

  • Uh... Just so you all know, the bassist is the same Asian bassist from The Smashing Pumpkins. It's a GUY!

    Fags...

  • Ignorance is bliss, as long as you don't expose it. The only reason I'm even bothering to reply to your retarded statement is to prevent you from making a further fool of yourself. Go back to your EMO shit.

  • hahahahahahaha ignorant...

  • @manda0murderface The bassist is not a guy in this vid. This vid is off Mer de Noms which came out in 2000. At that time they had Paz Lenchantin playing bass, that is the girl you see in the video. The only other bassist they've had was Twiggy Ramirez who played from 2003-2004, and only play with them live.

    BTW Smashing Pumpkins never had an Asian bassist, he was a guitarist. Their bassist was D'arcy Wretzky, also a girl.

  • entiendo perfectamente lo q el kiere decir en la cancion y es lo fuc#$% verdad!!!!!

  • i want to learn to play guitar sooooo freaking bad

  • It's incredibly easy.

  • She is just too much with the hair., WOW. Awesome.

  • look at her at 1:58..when she finishes tying her hair and fingers the bass ...boom!

  • I KNOW! fucking SEAMLESS!

  • @dragonskinavi It's a dude, you douchebag.  NOT A girl...

  • @manda0murderface The bassiest here is a girl. paz i think her name is. and shes a riiiiide!

  • bassist is so fucking hot

  • @linuxpython ur a douche bag

  • no u

  • I love Maynards religion outlook the weak do tend to follow the fable:) FUCK YOUR GOD! Lol

  • He's talked about this song on a DVD I've got. He say's most won't understand. He's saying fuck YOUR god, not god, just the one his mother prayed too and followed during her life. He also say's on the first page of the bible it say's "The universe was created with light and love" and he went on just close the book from there, that's all you need. It was interesting hearing him give commentary on some APC song's.

  • christian bible first words are In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..... but whatever still this song to me is like someone telling you how god as wronged you but you still are all for him like the tool song the patient

  • the bass player looks so foc k ing sexy

  • she is quite the babe

  • She's from Argentina, nice girls here

  • this is #1 kick-ass jam.......you fools

  • HE DID IT ALL FOR YOUUUUUUUUU!

    can you picture an APC live without tis song? XD

  • the chick singer is hot

  • you mean bass player?

  • The best thing about this VIDEO...is the chic...SHES FUCKIN HOT! and yes THIS SONG KICKS ASS

  • i was expecting that the video for this song were conceptual like three libras with a different theme, this song deserves it

  • their best IMO

  • great great great great.......

    maybe best song of A pERFEct CICLe

    my favourite

  • Judith is his (maynard's) mom's name. Who was 'broken down and paralyzed' from a stroke at a young age. He is pissed that his mother of undying faith couldn't "taste of the fruit" despite 'never straying'. This is a song of pain not about religion or beliefs. This is a kid crying, really, about his mom's illness. Much of the album 10,000 days was written about this. Just enjoy the song and get off the Satan thing

  • @hmbergher but anyway you cannot deny the anti-christianb connotation in the lyrics, im not a christia nor catholic or anything but you cannot just plain deny this implicit lyrics agaisnt the 'faith' that´s what i think, greetings from mexico

  • @hmbergher I agree with you I never looked at it as evil either, I've went through the same thing with my mom, she had cancer off on for the first twenty six year's of her life then she got internal and external lupus, and copd, a few other thing's, and yet her faith never wavered, she always told me never question why crystal, and i've spent many night's crying trying to figure out why she can't catch a break. So yeah I agree with you

  • @hmbergher not about religion? So the lyric "F**k your God" should be considered a passive statement? It may be about his mother and her impeccable faith but I don't hear many positive things about religion here.

  • @hmbergher You rock for getting it ~~~ I LOVE TOOL!!!!

  • @hmbergher i never knew that i can relate this song now that i will listen to in that context ty

  • @hmbergher actually there ARE some religious tendencies to this song, but it's more that he is pissed off that his mother clung so loyally to her christian faith despite her stroke. He is voicing his frustration in that he believes god/christ was the one responsible for it, yet his mother never gets angry at god and continues to be a devout christian. This song is about denouncing christ and him trying to get his mother to see that for all her faith, christ has still abandoned her.

  • If you break down the lyrics, he says things like "It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side" referencing the Spear of Destiny that the romans plunged into the side of christ during his crucifixion. He then says "Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed" indicating that he honestly believes that god is responsible for her stroke, and that he is angry and confused as to why she continues to remain devout.

  • people he did it for you ha ha FUCK YOUR GOD YA

  • holy crap. people that post on here are idiots. jesus.

  • Does anyone know who directed this video?

  • it's directed by david fincher

  • Wow, people, for cripe sake.. It's a song.. Relax and fucking enjoy it.. You have these beliefs.. This person has another.. Who gives a fuck..? No one cares if you want to hump God's leg of Satan's.. Only thing people came to do was to listen/watch some quality music.. So get the fuck over your scrapped-together beliefs and tossed around arguements.. Because in the end..? No one gives a fuck but you.. Thank you.. :)

  • Lol @ people disputing shit on youtube.. Find a forum kids

  • HAHAHAHAH best part of youtube is religious debate what a buncha dumbasses you guys are ALL OF YOU (except for those listening just for the song) cause most people on youtube dont give a shit about your beliefs im not even gonna say what i believe i might start the 1000 year war HAHAHAHAH dumbasses

  • grow up kiddies

  • What's all this talk about Satanism?

    Do we have a Satanist on the boards? How fun.

    I still have a copy of the Satanic Bible. Fascinating read, very entertaining. I can see the appeal, LeVay was very charismatic. Full of Sh@#, but very charismatic.

  • lol

  • Wow people, stop it with the religion talk. This song was written for his mother, who died after a long illness. This song is about a son's pain and anger at watching his mother suffer. Jebus...just enjoy the song!

  • GOD, yes someone who gets the song. You are right, rock out to the song, don't give yourself a headache trying to put some religous meaning to it. Just a kid in pain and not understanding his mothers undying faith after what "he did to you" not rocket science. I think I'll listen to it again.

  • @hmbergher I think if some people would've listen to all 10,000days album from Tool, tgey would know the reason for this song. Expecially wings for Marie pt 1 and 2. He clearly explains everything.

  • I abSOULutely love this song!

  • can we just not accept wonderful music on it's own? must we always refuse one anothers beliefs? i cannot understand why we so hateful toward one another....i have my own thoughts as do you....isn't that why the world is an amazing land to live in? we are all different yet the same?

  • ok i love this song and the guitar is amazing but he lyrics are horrible!

  • fuk u

  • Ok ok, rather than saying something stupid like Dyls down there. I'm going to tell you what the song is about. The song is in essence a question. It's the culmination of thoughts that were going through Maynard's mind as his mother was crippled, etc. Though, before saying something about the lyrics, why not look into the background of the song? The story of how it came to be?

  • Comment removed

  • Most awesome song :]

  • THIS IS ONE of the MOST powerful rock SONGS out there

  • Rules!

  • i like parking around fundies and playing this song. they get pissed and theirs nothing they can do about it.

  • wtf is a fundie?

  • a fundie is a fundamentalist christian

  • lmao, I never heard that before, shit, either I am way out of the loop or you just made that shit up, whatever the case may be, I fucking like it. I'm gonna call random church goers "fundies" now lol

  • Fundie? I suppose that you're a self described "Atheist" with New-Age liberal views. Well guess what? Those people who you condemn for their views are the ones who are ostracized by "new age thinkers" like you, who claim they hate the idea of "Religion" and yet only refer to Christianity. We get it, you want to rebel, its cute, its whats in, its the new black. However, realize that this country would not exist if it weren't for those 'Fundies'. Define Hypocrite, then look in the mirror dumbass.

  • actually im a spiritual satanist and seeing as this country was founded by diest atheists and freemasons i think would be around if their were no fundies. and as for being a new age thinker im an old soul i think in the way i did when my soul was first created. and the problem i have with christianity is it's ideals and storys are stolen from the beliefs in my gods. learn your history and never make assumptions about someones beliefs. you ignorant motherfucker

  • Sorry, I thought I was talking to a person. Ill be more careful when replying to Deist-Atheist-Satanist-Spiritu­al-Polytheistic-Old Souls."

    Get the fuck out of here.

  • you must be confused because your calling me a satanist a diest and an athiest. this makes no sense how can i believe in gods and be an athiest. maybe you should "get the fuck out of here" and go back to highschool or better yet go to church and get raped by the priest since you seem to agree with the xians.

  • Xians? Really? Who brings you your food in your basement? Your mommy or satan himself? I mean, you are a satanist after all.

    Grow up.

  • Dear hell dweller,

    this country was founded by puritans.

    YAY RESEARCH!

    love,

    i'm going to heaven

  • actually only the new england colony was founded by puritans. and by the time we fought for the liberation of amwerica the puritan beliefs were very few.

    YAY HISTORY!

    Id rather spend an eternity in hell then one day in what your god calls heaven.

  • The man who wrote the declaration of independence was a deist. Also, the first successful colony, Jamestown, was founded by The Virginia Company for economic purposes. Shut the fuck up about your christian bullshit and listen to the song.

  • it's kind of obvious you're not a satanist when you don't even know the first thing about satanism.. there is no belief in gods, goddesses, devils or angels.. to be a satanist is to achieve the highest in bodily pleasure.. go do a little research.. take an anthropology class even, they tell you there

  • hahahaa...xD

  • Best song I've ever heard. Period

  • A perfect video :)

  • ONE OF THE GREATEST APC SONGS.

  • Fuck your god your lord, your Christ!

  • Why don't you seem angry today.

  • why doesn't he?

    or

    why, doesn't he?

  • I dunno. But it is kinda funny

  • Humans in general are mindless slaves! there aren't alot of people who can think for themselves.

  • like you...

  • i can't get over how much i love this song. seriously.

  • No I'm not emo.

  • this song wa sick when it first came out

  • a band of argentina of a stolen this video, see the video is called volador g - negro mar

  • I think what CISCODLT or w/e is saying is what a perfect circle stands for, they sing about something very few bands ever will

  • Paz...you are one beautiful lady...

  • this songs kicks ass

  • Love the song. Love it more since it's not mainstream. Fuck mainstream and fuck pop culture!!

  • K so I totally have to come in and say something to this emo fuck.

    You honestly hate music just because it's "mainstream?"

    Fyi... KSE, Seether, Tool, APC, Metallica, are all mainstream

    Even your little emo bands - Rise Against, Death Cab for Cutie, MCR...

    All mainstream buddy.

    Stuff your rebellious little thoughts back into your bite sized dillusional little emo brain.

  • I understand where your getting at, but what I don't understand is how you developed some of those assumptions. Are you saying that all people against the mainstream (even if they are misguided) are emo?

  • Yes I am choosing to assume he's emo. And hating something just because it's popular is retarded. Tool and APC are both popular and they are great bands.

    I think it's emo for people to hate bands just 'cause other people like them. If that were the case no bands would ever get popular and no one would ever like any bands.

    Mainstream or not is just a stupid way to base how much you like a band on =/

  • I agree with all the bands being mainstream except APC, only because, while an amazing band, they were never really effective at being a pop band. A lot of people still don't know who the fuck they are.

  • I definitely understand what your point is though. Totally bogus when people decide that mainstream, by definition, is shit music. I think their point though, was that the dance pop tracks that the industry is shoving is regal bullshit as far as music is concerned. I don't think the point was that mainstream as a general is fucked; just current exceptionally successful mainstream dance pop lyric-less bullshit.

  • Thank you that is completely and totally what I was trying to say. It's just so hard to get through to "non conforming rebel emo kids"

  • go suck on your mothers dick bitch

  • Lol childish.

  • America is a mindless slave to pop culture. I agree with you.

  • Thank you. I just hate listening to garbage. people listen to same music thats only handed to them. Think outside the box. That's why mainstream is shit to me.

  • totally agree.

  • i can see why you'd hate shit like pop rock and rap but mainstream itself covers a lot of genres

    And just because someone likes something doesn't make them a mindless slave.

  • Actually, I quite like Garbage. ;)

    Shirley's HOT!

  • lol That Garbage I like too.

  • i agree with both of you

  • Getting this album through ebay, and can't wait to hear it for the first time!!!

  • Good shit!!!!

  • just another level.

    love it

  • holy water burns my skin!

  • No it doesn't

  • i LOVE this song.

    My life goal is to play it in a church XD

    O.o

    and run as fast as i can before they throw books and holy water at me XD

    (ok maybe that was a lil out of line =P)

  • Lol I'd pay to say that.

  • judith, then opiate by TOOL, they'd burn you at the stake :]

  • Comment removed

  • My favorite song by APC, other than The Noose

  • APC for life!

  • is maynard the only member of tool in this band cause it sounds so fucking much like tool

  • It's maynard band.

  • i think one of the sound technicians for tool started it

  • yep! billy started it, the guitar tec for adam jones. mynard loved it and offered to help

  • Well then, they exist on youtube..let me know when they go on tour next.

  • they never "officially" broke up so we can hope

  • y did maynard grow his hair out again...he looks better bald

  • ha....that is a wig..and the band no longer exists.

  • yes, it does.

  • First off, this song is the balls. Even if the "fuck your god," part through you off, it still kicks some serious ass.

    Second: i remember getting the DVD with this song on it. Maynard doesn't really say "Fuck God," he explained that he was more or less angry at a God that would take someone as faithful as his mother, who he thought did not deserve to die. This song ties in a lot with "Wings for Marie: part two" in 10,000 days. They're both about Judith Marie Keenan.

  • this song was made 9 years ago and 10 thousand days was 3 years ago. so how can wings for marrie and judith both be about his moms death

  • 10,000 days is how many days it took for his mom to die when she was paraplegic, idk when his mom died, but for me i think this is about his mom still being a strong religious person after she became paraplegic since they never went to the hostipal for illness since his parents were Dicks

  • Here Dicks is synonymous with Christian Scientist for those who don't know

  • man 10000 days is like almost 3 decades lol

  • did you know that the song was written for his mother who suffered from cf

  • ok after some reading I figured it out, judith is about the stroke she had, as where wings for marrie n all that was about the actual passing of her.

  • Yea the lyrics for Judith are about him trying to understand how his mother could still have such strong faith after what happened to her,

    "wings for marie" is about his mother dying,

    and in 10,000 days (wings pt.2) he makes a reference back to his mother's faith and his views in "Judith" when he says:

    "Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance,

    (With the) burden of proof tossed upon the believers.

    You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,

    Judith Marie, unconditional one."

  • No matter what you say about God, He always forgives and loves you.

  • is that a woman that's playing with them and is she an official member?

    apparently i haven't been paying very good attention lately

  • Yes, that's a woman, she was one of the founding members but left to form some other band with Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins, her name is Paz Lenchantin.

  • Maynard James Keenan is one heck of a lyrical GENIUS.

  • u got that rite...he is

  • I wonder if Maynard makes this kind of stuff just to occupy your Nerd Rages.

    It's music.

    Don't like it?

    Don't listen to it.

    DUH.

    Thank "God" He made you all so damn dumb.

  • You will go to hell if you are bad and vice versa. God could give a shit what names you put on him.

  • Appreciate the extremely high level of musical talent this band has, with all personal feelings aside. Don't worry about if it's for or against God. We all can probably agree that Maynard James Keenan is one hell of a good singer. And I don't know about you, but I am OBSESSED with how good Billy Howerdel plays guitar.
