    I personally love Eat the Elephant. It's definitely more mellow but it's rich. I can't really explain it, but it's like the most ambivalent intro song ever. That little squeak "Just begin" at the end makes me smile.

    • @MetalDisciple97

      When I saw them live in Berlin, they opened with that song and when Maynard sang "Ominous and daunting" I got goosebumps. He sang it in a hauntingly beautiful way, fantastic show

  • @csnide6702
    @csnide6702 Před 2 lety +14

    My favorite thing about the start of Perfect Circle was that I learned about them from Maynard's step mom - Maynard and I were friends (he was known as Jimmy then) in our teen years. It was while Tool was in hiatus between albums & I asked her what he was doing hoping to get the latest Tool dirt when she told me about APC.

    • @Gxie
      @Gxie Před rokem +4

      @C Snide That’s super cool u guys were old friends! Lucky you! Maynard is my all time favorite singer (Billy is a genius too☺️). Anyway, Jimmy as in the song “Jimmy?” I never look at song meanings or interpretations, so I guess that was where it came from! 🖤

  • @florentinaguggenheimer6557

    Billy gets no respect. One of the most underrated writers. Maynard pretty much only sings, and gets more credit for Billy’s band than he should. Actually it’s the same with tool, he just does the lyrics and sings and everyone else actually makes the songs different.

    • @tn4234
      @tn4234 Před 5 lety +10

      I get that billy should get more praise cause the lyrics are amazing, but in tool case i think part of the cool vibe it has are maynard lyrics so... In my opinion both are great writing

    • @tn4234
      @tn4234 Před 5 lety +28

      And i dont think doing the lyrics and sing is "just doing the lyrics and sing" tool wouldnt be the same without maynard's singing

    • @Robert-vn6rw
      @Robert-vn6rw Před 5 lety +29

      "Just the lyrics and sing" is such a naive and disrespectful statement. Lyrics are everything in giving meaning to a song and as far as singing, the melody and tone is whats brings life to such insane and beautiful music.

    • @dasein9980
      @dasein9980 Před 5 lety +4

      In all fairness, people's initial interest in APC was due to Maynard being in the band. I didn't know he didn't write the lyrics in APC though.
