Maynard James Keenan - A dedication

From dehumanization to arms production, For the benefit of the nation or it's destruction?
Power is power. The law of the land. Those living for death will die by their own hand.
Life's no ordeal if you come to terms. Reject the system dictating the norms.

APC- 'Annihilation'
From dehumanization to arms production, to hasten this nation towards it's destruction.
It's your choice; your choice; your choice; your choice...........peace, or annihilation?~Crucifix~.......and now for another recap-

[size=-4] I was trying not to overload the last page with too many videos, but it appears that I may of tried a little too hard. Might have to change that on this page. Try to find that happy medium.

H. (Radio City Music Hall 8/13/2002)
And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.
I don't mind.
'The Patient'

This is a good audio recording(much better than most), yet I hesitated to add this particular performance.

In the end, I have concluded that the actual quality outweighs the *$^#@(&^ idiot that does not even deserve to know there even was a Tool concert, yet alone be there. Not constantly, but a few different times you can hear him talking. Yeah that's right. Tool is on stage performing The Patient, and this idiot is talking about *%^&$# Linkin Park.

Replicants ft. MJK - 'Silly Love Song'
~Wings~

'Orestes'- Alternate intro lyrics/extended guitar solo (3-01-01, NY)

Picture a parachute, a playground
Innocent faces in a circle
Tiny hands hold round the edges
A thread for every gentle moment
and they lift my heart high above their heads
on this billowing diaphragm of memories
and i struggle to catch a glimpse of you
but I'm bound by webs of habit

Gotta cut away, clear away
snip away ad sever this
umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you

I'm not 100% about these lyrics. This is not the exact words others claim, but this is my opinion and makes sense, whereas what I found online just doesn't make sense to me, so I changed a couple words. In all actuality, my opinion is the only one that matters, because I am the only one reading this.

Puscifer- 'Trekka'

Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.

APC- 'Pet' - (Fan-Made Video)


APC - 'Rose' - (Fan-Made Video)

I am
I will
So no longer will I
Lay down
Play dead
Play your doe in the headlights
Locked down and terrified
Your deer in the headlights
Shot down and horrified when
Push comes to pull comes to shove
Comes to step around this self-destructing dance
That never would've ended
Til' I Rose,
I roared aloud here
I will
I am.

'Intension'
Spark becomes a flame
Flame becomes a fire
Forge a blade to slay the stranger
Take whatever we desire

Move by will alone

Pure as we begin

Pure as we begin
Move by will alone
Leave as we come in
Pure as light, return to one

Move by will alone

You can kill the revolutionary, But you can't kill the revolution

Rage Against The Machine & Tool - 'Revolution' (Demo)

(Maynard) - Living on the street shores
He didn't learn and wanted children
Said, "What is there left to stay alive for?"
He doesn't wanna see it...

(Maynard) - He didn't wanna deal with it
Here they come, feelings that come as natural
Whatever left, he considered a loss, y'all
He doesn't wanna see it...

(Maynard) - Running away, getting some kinda cure
"What is there left to keep him alive?" she said
Give him your love, give him your love to save him
Give him your love, give him your love to save him

(Maynard) - Give him your love, give him your love to save him
Don't run away, give him your love to save him
Give him your love, give him your love to save him
Give him your love...

You can kill the revolutionary
But you can't kill the revolution

(Zack)
Lies, negative indoctrination of our good selves
Promote feelings of such hopelessness, powerlessness
Suicide or a slower death from addiction
seemed to be the only way to stop the pain
(Maynard) Running...

(Zack)
Suicide seemed to be the only way to stop the pain
Suicide seemed to be the only way to stop the pain

Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)



Rosetta Stoned

~An important message from our sponsors; I'm not sure if it is just my computer or what is causing it, but the 1080p is not working properly for me on these 2 videos. The video kind of seems to get stuck for a second, and then jump to get caught up. I first watched it in 360, and it was good. 720p also works, and it is a good quality, in my opinion. Just a forewarning though, if anyone tries to load this in 1080p, I would advise to check out the beginning before waiting for it to load all the way. It is still a good quality vid, just not 1080.~



Rosetta Stoned (Paris 2007)

Sadly this song's volume on most of the videos available online are way to quiet, but here it is anyway...

I'm not embedding because the large amounts of embeds are slowing down my #.

I saw PET, but don't recall seeing the alternate: Counting Bodies Like Sheep (APC):

If I missed that last one...oh well, I think it can handle being posted twice.

I'll stop there, as many have said - one may not stop until the entire catalog is posted if one is not careful.

My computer speakers are crap, but it sounded good to me.

I might of gotten a little carried away on the first couple of pages. I've been attempting to settle it down a bit.

That's the plan

APC - 'What's Goin On' (Fan-Made Video)
~Marvin Gaye~

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying.
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying.
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
War is not the answer.
For only love can conquer hate.
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today.

Picket lines and picket signs.
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/a29e7d58e7a9.jpg[/atsimg]

Lost again. Broken and weary. Unable to find my way
Tail in hand. Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

A Perfect Circle - 'Gravity'


I fell again - Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand - Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom

Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Needy hole please release me

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live

I was. It is. I am. They are. I tried.
Is cold. Is there. I stopped.
hoping. Gave up. Will fade.

Someone told me once that there's a right and wrong, and that punishment would come to those who dare to cross the line. But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you. Maybe it takes longer to catch a total a-hole, but I'm tired of waiting. Maybe it's just BS and I should play GOD, and shoot you myself, because I'm tired of waiting. Consequences dictate our course of action, and it doesn't matter what's right. It's only wrong if you get caught.

An amazing extended version of 'Jerk-Off,' followed by 'Intolerance.'
I believe it is from Coachella, 1999.


I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existence either. See I want to believe you, and I want to trust, and I want to have faith to put away the dagger, but you lie, cheat, and steal, and yet I tolerate you......

Our guilt, our blame. I've been far too sympathetic. Our blood, our fault. I've been far too sympathetic. I am not innocent. You are not innocent. Noone is innocent.

Tool- Undertow (1994) Live


Tool - Opiate (Live)


Tool - Prison Sex (1996) Live [One of my favorites]


I love this extended version

(extra verse)
Show me something
Thought I could make it end
Thought I could wash the stains away
Thought I could break the circle if I
Slipped right into your skin
So sweet was your surrender
We have become one
I have become my terror
And you my precious lamb and martyr

Tool - H (1996) live [Another one of my favorites]


Tool Live 1992

===========================================

One thing I noticed during the early years of Tool is Maynard rarely blinks when performing. I don't know the exact reason though.

Sounds like Sober doesn't it?

reply to post by MarkofCain

At first glance, I thought that C.A.D. vid was the same one that I had posted a few pages back. Then I read, "It sounds like sober.".........I thought, "Huh, what, no it doesn't." ...lol..I've never seen that one. I'm curious how he feels now, about those old C.A.D. performances. Obviously, you have to start somewhere, but I just think it is possible, that he wishes they never allowed that to be recorded on video lol. I don't think I've paid much attention to his eyelids. That's some wild and crazy movements goin' on at the end of Opiate.
