I was in a shop today, and as usual there was a CD playing. I was thinking, "That sounds sort-of okay". Then a track caught my attention. It made me think, "Wow, that sounds really good". I soon found out that A Perfect Circle's eMOTIVe, and the track was "Couting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums". I really like that song, and will most probably get some APC albums.

oh shit I totally just remembered they covered john lenons "imagine" love the music video for that, anyone else catch it?

 

06/04/09 1:33 PM

^ ya know, I dont even listen to A Perfect Circle, but I was just thinking of their Imagine cover yesterday. I love how they make the entire thing minor without making it cheesy, but hell that music video is painfully dated.

 

06/04/09 2:01 PM

^^^ I know its an older video but what do you mean by painfully dated? Just that its old or the message no longer applies?

Sucks I burt a dvd of all tool apc and nin best music video, even had like 1-2 marilyn manson videos. Borred it to someone never returned. Sucks cus that imagine video was on it. I'd burn another one but my dvd burner has officially committed suicide.

Well, its forgiveable because it was definitely topical, but that video has been done a thousand times from Greenday to The Onion. And the CGI on that talking astronaut baby...

 

06/04/09 2:44 PM

when did greenday do it?

And the onion, there whole purpose is mockery news, the footage/new on the apc imagine was actual news/

 

06/04/09 2:49 PM

Greenday did it during The Saints Are Marching with U2. And I wouldnt say its actual news, what with the dolphin and coins- that seems more like Dark Side of the Moon than NBC.

 

06/04/09 3:34 PM

I just watched it...and yeah man video footage has been done before, but honestly they both work well with the music.

And as for the news, the very well aren't going to put NBC or FOX news logo in their music video, that'd be like begging for a lawsuit, especially they way they put it together.

EDIT and the footage isn't so much important as the sentences at the bottom of the video. Yeah all of those are actual news at one point, well except for some of the sports stuff.

And greendays was an actual video, apc was just pure visuals, not glamorizing themselves

oh, trust me, I'm not saying Greenday did it any better. I was just using it as an example of how widespread that type of video has become.

and I wasnt saying they ought to have the NBC or FOX logo, I was just saying how the imagery is more like Pink Floyd's surrealism than actual news. Which is moot now that you've said you're talking about the ticker.

If you like the Imagine video, I'm not going to try and convince you otherwise. It's not a bad video, it simply didnt age well.

 

06/04/09 9:06 PM

Okay now I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

Pink Floyd surrealism? come on now.

 

06/04/09 9:24 PM

anyone hear any news on what these guys are doing now?? Supposedly, they are working on something new, but maybe not be a full-length record.

Yea they're suppose to write a few songs to be released later this yr. Maynard has been busy with Puscifer and wil be busy this summer with Tool. Josh is busy with his solo album packages and with his personal life. They should be getting to it later in the Fall.

I hope so. APC are one of my favourite bands but I have yet to see them live so new material and a tour would be great. But I hope Billy still continues with Ashes Divide.

I really like Ashes Divide too, Billy is talented.


I think Maynard has mentioned in interviews that APC will still be doing music together, which is awesome. Maybe after he finishes working with Tool. He's a busy guy these days!

I'll always be a huge fan of Mer de Noms. 3 Libras, The Hollow and Orestes are some of Maynard's finest work.

I heard that they plan on releasing a new song in the Autumn. Not sure how reliable that info is mind but it would be great if they did. I read somewhere they don't plan on releasing an album just single tracks you can download.

When i had lunch with Josh Freese he said that a reunion is likely to happen in either Autumn/Winter of this year or sometime next year.

 

08/20/09 7:13 AM

Can't wait to hear more from them and why not, see them tour. I'd love to see them in Greece, heck, after seeing NIN|JA and FNM in less than 3 weeks over here, nothing's impossible!

APC have some songs that make me feel physical pain while listening to them, it's incredible. Magdalena for instance, you can feel the pain and despair in MJK's voice. Just perfect.

Same for me; considering that I was being crushed to the point where I couldn't breathe, in a mosh during Magdalena...I know where you're coming from tongue sticking out smiley

But seriously, they're amazing live & I hope that some shows come of these loosely mentioned reform plans.

I'd sell my soul, my self esteem, a dollar at a time for a place in that pit!

I just got me Mer de Noms in vinyl and although my grocery money might not last me for the next 2 weeks, I'm very happy I found it!

Nice! I'm glad you thought to ask Josh thumbs up I hope he rejoins the band.

I really liked Paz, she was great. But I loved Jeordie with APC, I actually thought he fit in really well, and he performed well with them live! I wish he would leave Manson and rejoin APC, lol....

i don't know what else to say about A Perfect Circle other than their music is beautiful. Mer De Noms may be my fav. APC album...

 

09/30/09 6:59 PM

I just realized that 3 Libras is my fave music video ever.

I actually liked Jeordie in APC, and I prefered James Iha over Troy. However it would be awesome to have Paz back cuz maybe then we can get 3 libras with her on violin again.

Orestes is my absolute favorite APC song, and probably one of my favorite songs by any artist. It's also been my cellphone ringtone for the past year or so. grinning smiley

New material coming soon.

Just over two weeks ago the website saw some interesting news updates.

First on July 16th: Stuff . . . is happening.

Second on July 19th: Subtle stealth movement. Keep eyes and ears peeled for clues thru all channels involving Ashes Divide and Puscifer.

I can't wait to see what Maynard and Billy have up their sleeves.
