just so you know all, half of these tracks finished as part of the original soundtrack of the video game Jak X (4th episode of the ps2 franchise Jak and Daxter) and the Jak X OST is criminally underrated, listen to it !
That's how I feel with Crash Twinsanity's OST composed by acappella group Spiralmouth. It's incredible. As a Crash fan, how difficult/different is Jak compared to Crash?
@@thebroskis6364I second this. Not only Spiralmouth, but also the PHENOMENAL sound design in that game. Now that I'm a sound engineer I still use it as a reference for when I want to do certain vocal reverb effects and whatnot.
Back in the day a friend said to me, you like tool don't you? Want to go see Maynard's new band? I freak'n love Tool, yes lets go! That n8ght we were in awe with APC at the Viper Room just before their first release.. it was perfect 🔥
I would have loved to have been at that show. Saw them in 2001 just after Mer de Noms was released. Out of the dozens of shows I've been to that one stands out to me so much because even though it was in a larger arena, it was general access everywhere and there was a much smaller number of people there, so it actually felt more like a little club. Very intimate, very relaxed, Maynard was telling really really cringe jokes while they were having technical problems in the middle of the show and all of the house lights were up. It felt so fucking surreal because it felt like such a little local show I really couldn't believe it lol. TOOL of course was huge at the time and I just couldn't believe that I was that close to the stage, Maynard having the demeanor of just like joking around with an interviewer. Nothing at all like the heavy atmosphere of a TOOL show. Saw them another 3 times in the following years. Still my favorite vocalist of all time. Billy is one of my favorite guitar players and Josh Freese is number 2 on my list of favorite drummers.
Would really love for MJK to lay vocals over and breathe life into this unfinished piece of art. Perhaps something to return to in his later years; to put a bow on this unearthed jewel and cast it upon the audience to cherish. So much potential locked away from everyone; quite possibly enough to fill in this void in a time when music seems to lacks sincerity and creativity from a once adored era.
Boggles me why MJK didn’t it’d have been a great follow up to 13th Step, but it probably would’ve been sporadic like Fear Inoculum’s sparse lyrics, you know how Maynard’s funny about shite
Some of this is off of Billy Howerdel’s solo project’s debut album. Ashes Divide “Keep On Telling Myself It’s Alright”. A masterpiece in its own right! Love MJK but show Billy Howerdel some respect and give him props. APC and Ashes Divide are both his projects!

@@avd-wd9581not Corrigan? Howerdel correct? So why is she on screen credit just curious since I doubt this was played live? Howerdel does most in studio ?
@@richardwinchester2418 I have no idea where the channel owner got that from. This is not an official album. On Keep Telling Myself It's Alright she's only credited for Denial Waits. Some songs were for Jak X and I couldn't find her in the OST cedits.
It sounds alot like the improvised stuff they'll extend songs with,course I love that stuff! Same with RCHP live set! I hate when bands stick to same set,same performance date to date. But APC should have new material out very soon I hear..late fall?
Instead of Maynard, how about some of the more fiery female singers out there (Billy originally wanted a female vocalist for APC) for vocals? Hayley from Paramore or Lzzy Hale come to mind, as does Amy Lee from Evanescence.
Some of these songs ended up on Billy Howerdell's solo album, under the band name Ashes Divide. It's a really good album, but not quite as good as APC.
@@xennyx6020 I guess thats the way to put it. I wanted to rock out to it but there was nothing there. Shit, I still have Mer de Noms in my player and it still kills.
@@dmc3079I actually thoroughly enjoyed ETE but I can see why you may thought it was kinda boring, though it never bored me, it depends how you interpret it.
They were APC demos at the time they were recorded. He then used some of them for Ashes Divide. For example: The version of Stripped Away on here, has a completely different song structure than the Ashes Divide version, if you play them side by side.
@@GEMSofGOD_com This group of songs. Not necessarily the track order. If you notice, tracks like ‘Stripped Away’ the actual song structure is completely different than the Ashes Divide version. Play them side by side and this will be apparent.

Maynard did not work on these. These were the tracks Billy hoped to use for APC. Maynard wasn’t available at the time bc of his commitments to Tool. Maynard also thought some of the tracks were too heavy, as he wanted to go in another direction.
Rev Up, To The Death, Fragfest, Goodnight, Whiplash, Turbofied, Ancient, Bird, Hybrid, and Run The Table are from the soundtrack to Jak X Combat Racing, written and I assume performed and recorded by Billy Howerdel.

These were initially presented to Maynard, but he was in the middle of working on 10,000 Days with Tool, then he had touring obligations as well, following the album.

@TC-lk2ev to be fair. I did not like fear inoculum as much neither. Nor the 2020 puscifer album. I'm the vary last person in the universe to ever criticize Maynard. But he's getting a little faulty as of late. But that's still OK. He's in his 60s now. He has to take care of his voice and physical body more now than ever.
These are all different versions or mixes of those songs. For example: ‘Ancient’ has a completely different intro and mix. ‘Stripped Away’ has a completely different song structure.
This is: Billy Howerdel, Josh Freese, Paz, Troy, and Danny Lohner. These were originally presented to Maynard, before later going to other projects. Josh Freese thought he was recording for APC while tracking the drums for these.
Sorry but this is not APC. Everyone commenting on how good this is has clearly not listened to APC. They don’t write stuff like this. This is some knock off crap.
Nope. This is Billy Howerdel, Josh Freese, Paz, Troy Van Leeuwen, Danny Lohner. These were initially recorded to be potential APC tracks. Maynard had to pass on them because of his commitment to Tool with 10,000 Days. These are what the tracks would sound like before Maynard would start collaborating on them.
@@Benprogfuse ok, if I were to accept what your saying as truth then I am glad this didn’t make it to an album. I promise that I’m not trying to be negative here. It’s not about the quality of the recording. It’s just that I find the riffs boring and lacking heart. Maybe they were just B sides that they decided to ditch. This is just my opinion.
@@tdub52 I respect your opinion. Many people have commented with the opposite opinion. It's subjective. I would say these demos sound closer to Mer De Noms, as Maynard didn't take part in a lot of the writing, as opposed to Thirteenth Step, where he did.
@@Benprogfuse yeah let me get a hold of him and see why he didnt choose to be on this unreleased demo or vocal scrubbed version. No offense to the rest of the band, but these songs are much better with Maynard singing,as intended.

What would become Ashes Divide and also what Billy would use for a video game.
@@Benprogfuse nice
Well, this sounds better than rather soft and overly melodic AD
Track 5 ❤
This first song sounds a lot like The Remedy
Was scrolling to see if anyone noticed
Glad it is not that song and it's Better.
@@01-0 The Remedy is abosutely amazing
It sounds alot like the improvised stuff they'll extend songs with,course I love that stuff! Same with RCHP live set! I hate when bands stick to same set,same performance date to date. But APC should have new material out very soon I hear..late fall?

Fragfest!!!
One of my favorites!
Atleast this actually has a decent amount of guitar work, which I felt eat the elephant was really lacking
And the drums on this hit alot harder... I hate how weak and thin the drums on Eat the Elephant sound.
Uh ima listen to this whatever tf it actually is. And if yoh are talking about it being better than Eat the Elephant. Probably right
Puscifer the remedy vibes
