I remember. Awesome vid. Watch her put her hair up like lightining quick during the first interlude. Fantastic and super sexy to me. Thanks Paz!! And thanks Billy! Awesome guitarist and fun to watch!
Notice the headstock right above the nut is totally wrecked. Trent Reznor smashed it when Billy was his tech, so he glued it back on and has been using it ever since.
he got this from touring ad=s the tech for NIN and they use to trash the gear and at the end of tour reznor let him take a guitar and thats the one he took and fixed it
I would LOVE to see a breakdown like this of their song The Hollow. The harmony during the chorus is just unreal. SO captivating....starting with that kinda twinkly descending motif, followed by these chiming long notes that give the whole thing an almost shoegaze tone....like if My Bloody Valentine wrote an alternative rock/metal tune....
6:46 I've _always_ thought that was THE coolest part of an already entirely cool song. I love the subtle dissonance in that little section. Something really menacing yet sexy about it....
Amazing how in a single song he put so much creativity in those guitar parts. From the pedal used to increase feedback, to the alternate use of the two pickups or the very cool section when he use the tone knob or a different univibe sound...AMAZING!
I was front row at an APC show in 2004, all of my friends and I went, and we were having the time of our lives. I yelled out "BILLY! WHY DO YOU KICK SO MUCH ASS!?" and he giggled then held his hands up and shook his head "I don't know I just do." Billy is the best.
I've always had a much higher appreciation for creativity and emotional strength in musicianship than technical proficiency and speed, although B.H. is clearly a very skilled player. Keep in mind he's more of a tech than a virtuoso, and it shows with his brilliant tones and effects choices.
Unbelievable. Mer De Noms will forever be one of the best albums in the WORLD ! I still marvel at my two Mer De Noms (original) T-shirts that are brand new that I have in my collection. Billy Howerdel is one of the best artists in the world (cause he and maynard wrote it) and its also not about people, its about ART only !!!!!

Seriously one of their best songs! The riff,the vocals, the whole fuckin' enchilada is what hooked me. The bass player Paz..., HOT!! Can't wait for something new!! ;)
Just witnessed APC recently at the honda center. This song really through me for a loop but i loved it immensely. Miss paz.. But adore Billy just as much. Billy really rocked it that night 💚
I used to play the APC music video dvds at college keg parties across 3 floors during peak attendance, some of the best parties of my life. Love this track and a dozen songs from a perfect circle. Thank you for these videos!!!
Great video of the parts! Great tones! Love this band. Saw them live recently in Nashville...one of the BEST live shows I've seen. The FOH guys were AWESOME. Sounded so great out front. Thank you Billy!!
I wonder how many slides he has broken this way! Look at 8:46 hehehe. So anyway this is pretty cool! Watching the exact riffs played by Billy Howerdel! Exactly what I needed to see.
Billy, how did you come up with that? It's basically the perfect guitar for a song. Its just pure majectic, dynamics, power, accuracy and perfection. God bless you, Billy of a Perfect Circle.
I'm still baffled as how does he has like, a very normal deep voice while being himself, but whenever he sings he transforms into an angel protruding some serious heavenly chants. I swear he only misses the halo. Anyways, great playthrough. Thanks for uploading this for us, happy holidays!
@@choppertimberland139 I feel like it was an a-hole thing of me to say, a year later. However, Jimi Hendrix said in an interview with Dick Cavett that the reason he makes so many mistakes is that he's always searching for something new. That's going to be my excuse next time accuses me of being too high to play.
@@Hexspa lol, or you could just be too high, but i see what jimi is saying, trying to get everything note for note perfect limits you to seeing what the possibilities are. I know for me, i always play a song a little different everytime i play it.
Love Billy! Saw them in Atl for the first APC tour and they were spot on. Seems like that necks been snapped and glued back on. Looks all Fd up past the nut. I wouldnt doubt it being its common on LPs especially if ur a touring pro musician.
Funny enough, I don’t break that many of them. I got good at a low angle launch onto the stage. I gave more out to fans then I break. Much prefer this way
I would love any rapper or pop singer try and explain a guitar riff like this guy does. He is the definition of a "musician" and not a "rock star". A guy who studied his craft for the purpose of making great music; not trying to bang road whores or play on the radio. Well done my friend!
That song is generally easy to play, its all those subtlety's that get me everytime though. I have the same issue with lots of Tool songs as well (46&2)
1994 Les Paul Classic, limited edition Cinnamon Burst. The guy who toured with Faith No More on their album King For A Day... Fool for a Lifetime used an identical one as his main as well. As I believe did Reznor or Robin from NIN back then.
@@acarlovonsexron1994 reznor did. This guitar actually is the one Reznor used. Take a look at that headstock damage. Reznor broke it, and when Billy fixed it Reznor just let him keep it.
@@kevinstephens9019 The story I heard was after the Downward Spiral tour Reznor told him he could pick a guitar to keep and that's the one he kept cause he liked it's mojo.
Wow I am speechless! I love this song and I love the guitars how they sound, I do not play guitars unfortunately but I do know a great sound or beat and this song is killer. Thank you so much for this video, I will get a guitar and practice to learn how to play and play all of the beautiful music that I like, thank you, thank you!
I wish he would do more of these. I like how he just gets to the point instead of breaking down every simple step. Makes it faster and easier to learn watching him just play. He’s a badass and it inspires me 🤘🏻
I kept thinking, "Damn, this guy looks a lot like Billy Howerdel! How fitting that he's playing Judi...oh shit! It IS Billy Howerdel! That explains so much." Who better to learn the riffs from, than the man who created them?

....never plays Judith live...
Billy has a way of picking the most haunting semi-tones in his parts, absolute mood builders. A humble genius, in my opinion.
vIndeed this song goes well with anything badass th-cam.com/video/GqwWw-NCZns/w-d-xo.html
This guy is a genius. I love Tool, but Billy and Maynard are such a great combo.
I remember when this was released (circa 2000). Who remembers Paz Lenchantin on bass?
I remember her. I love chick bass players. I seen A Pirfect Circle live back in 2000. Awesome show.
She was amazing in that gathering of talents,...
I remember. Awesome vid. Watch her put her hair up like lightining quick during the first interlude. Fantastic and super sexy to me. Thanks Paz!! And thanks Billy! Awesome guitarist and fun to watch!
Shes sexy and talented, i love paz
@@skeezerpleezer8623 im glad im not the only one who found that to be sexy lol.
One of the greatest songs ever, perfectly engineered, love it
This man is a genius, not to mention that his singing is amazing! 🙌🏼😉
True, very proficient and underrated singer
Billy makes it look effortless. A brilliant artist.
That's kinda how it is when you're the one who wrote it
Notice the headstock right above the nut is totally wrecked. Trent Reznor smashed it when Billy was his tech, so he glued it back on and has been using it ever since.
I like how he glued it back flat so he never has to worry about it breaking again.
Also, tuning is probably more stable than it is with Gibsons absurd standard headstock angle.@@allanallan4791
Gibsons necks become stronger after they break and are glued back together
NOICE did not know that but I could see the headstock had been broken dead off
he got this from touring ad=s the tech for NIN and they use to trash the gear and at the end of tour reznor let him take a guitar and thats the one he took and fixed it
Judith is one of their most beautiful songs, but for me nothing beats the riff of "The Package", so damn heavy!
I would LOVE to see a breakdown like this of their song The Hollow.
The harmony during the chorus is just unreal. SO captivating....starting with that kinda twinkly descending motif, followed by these chiming long notes that give the whole thing an almost shoegaze tone....like if My Bloody Valentine wrote an alternative rock/metal tune....
The Package is litterally a masterpiece
@@avedicThat’s my favorite song 🔥
6:46 I've _always_ thought that was THE coolest part of an already entirely cool song.
I love the subtle dissonance in that little section.
Something really menacing yet sexy about it....
I always liked that spot in the music video when the bassist ties her hair up right on beat.
Dunno why that's so damn cool to me.
It's super cool.
I totally agree, it was such amazing timing.
I know right!
Then proceeds to rip shit.. in heels nonetheless. So hot
@filmguy Y'all are a bunch of simps wouldn't be saying this shit if it was a guy.
He claims he is not being a good teacher, yet shows and explains everything in simple and understandable terms!!! Awesome!!!
Amazing how in a single song he put so much creativity in those guitar parts. From the pedal used to increase feedback, to the alternate use of the two pickups or the very cool section when he use the tone knob or a different univibe sound...AMAZING!
I learned nothing, I was too mesmerized by his playing.
Wish I could learn and play even a bit like him one day!
This song is not difficult, you can do it!
You can we will both learn!
i was going to say exactly the same
The world needs to understand the genius that Billy is
I was front row at an APC show in 2004, all of my friends and I went, and we were having the time of our lives. I yelled out "BILLY! WHY DO YOU KICK SO MUCH ASS!?" and he giggled then held his hands up and shook his head "I don't know I just do." Billy is the best.
I love his echoey tone, there is always a melodic middle eastern vibe to his music
Most likely cause of the octave chords he uses and the reverb+delay
Best thing I've seen on TH-cam just about ever.
It is very cool to watch. "Pneuma" live, Danny Carey playing drums is badass to watch too!!
He’s an epic player and has a beautiful voice! Him and Maynard vocalize beautifully 👍🏼💚
I've always had a much higher appreciation for creativity and emotional strength in musicianship than technical proficiency and speed, although B.H. is clearly a very skilled player. Keep in mind he's more of a tech than a virtuoso, and it shows with his brilliant tones and effects choices.
no one cares
I care!
@@Josh-it6uy wrong. nobody gives a shit about shredders though. good music is always welcome.
My favorite guitarist and favorite style and sound.

Billy you are a guitar players teacher. Love how he says what's played live; Versus, what's on the recording. Awesome!"
One of my all time favorite songs.
So awesome. This sound was so huge during its time. Great to have this retrospective.
I'm addicted to this song i just can't stop listening
I would LOVE to see a breakdown like this of their song The Hollow.
The harmony during the chorus is just unreal. SO captivating....starting with that kinda twinkly descending motif, followed by these chiming long notes that give the whole thing an almost shoegaze tone....like if My Bloody Valentine wrote an alternative rock/metal tune....
Fareal!! And that crazy arpeggio right before the chorus hits.... CRAZY
There's a video on TH-cam where they do a full run down of the guitar tech at APC, Billy plays The Hollow riff at the end of it
Absolutely agree!!
Ha I always thought this was one the best “modern rock” song of all time.
it still is
Well it might be
Thanks for this PG. One of the best songs EVER! Billy's awesome
Chills every time. My favourite song ever since I first heard it.
Best song ever. Named my kid after it.
Aka Maynards mum.
@@nznegativeions I thought it was his aunt?
Absentimental no, his mom. Judith Marie.
@@Krueltybeast187 Wings for Marie is about his mother as well.
Paz putting her hair up in the video. 😍😍😍😍
Seriously one of their best songs! The riff,the vocals, the whole fuckin' enchilada is what hooked me. The bass player Paz..., HOT!! Can't wait for something new!! ;)
George Schaffino great use of the word enchilada...👍
ONE of my favorite songs. I enjoy this song and everything about it from beginning to end.
This has to be my favorite song with a great message!
Just witnessed APC recently at the honda center. This song really through me for a loop but i loved it immensely. Miss paz.. But adore Billy just as much.
Billy really rocked it that night 💚
i love how freakin honest Billy is about the recording or his playing lol
That Slide pickup and flick is priceless.
I used to play the APC music video dvds at college keg parties across 3 floors during peak attendance, some of the best parties of my life.
Love this track and a dozen songs from a perfect circle. Thank you for these videos!!!
Just saw APC in Nov and they were f-ing sublime. I've seen hundreds (maybe thousands) of bands perform live and they def stand among the best
I wake up and feed my brain the licks of this song for breakfast!! Thanks for posting this video glad to see it visually
I'm not a guitar player so I have no idea of what he's on about technically, but the tone he is getting....Jesus, it sounds great.
Great video of the parts! Great tones! Love this band. Saw them live recently in Nashville...one of the BEST live shows I've seen. The FOH guys were AWESOME. Sounded so great out front. Thank you Billy!!
One of the best rock songs of ALL TIME, masterpiece.
This entire album was genius! I've listened to it extensively! Thank you very much for sharing with us!
Awesome, I love the slide fling off..🤪
DividedByTime Let us not overlook the fling with SIMULTANEOUS toggle flip 😳😳😳...😂🤣
One of the best song writers/producers. Amazing sounds I crave.
I dont even play the guitar, but shits fascinating
start
It's like Billy's fingers are little humanoids on the frets
Saw them 2 months ago in Orlando and they were amazing ! Sounded like it was a CD , so loud and crystal clear !
Merry Christmas. Thanks Billy. Amazing. Thanks premiere guitar you are ok too....🎄🤟🏻
One of the best rock song ever..you rock
I wonder how many slides he has broken this way! Look at 8:46 hehehe.
So anyway this is pretty cool! Watching the exact riffs played by Billy Howerdel! Exactly what I needed to see.
Sweet riff - Kicking into this right after that dope snare intro makes for such a banger of a track
What are you doing guys as artists it's very hard. You're an example for every other artists.
He did do it all for us ! He does allows things to happen to make us think and search and discuss!
this sound is unmatchable
Now do it with all the discography
Billy, how did you come up with that? It's basically the perfect guitar for a song. Its just pure majectic, dynamics, power, accuracy and perfection. God bless you, Billy of a Perfect Circle.
I'm still baffled as how does he has like, a very normal deep voice while being himself, but whenever he sings he transforms into an angel protruding some serious heavenly chants. I swear he only misses the halo. Anyways, great playthrough. Thanks for uploading this for us, happy holidays!
Maynard sings, not Billy my friend.
@@GRYNGE7 Okay. "What is ASHES dIVIDE?" Alex.
OneAmongst2113 he sings the back up vocals on this song and they’re great
OneAmongst2113 watch by and down live at red rocks and listen to how beautiful billy harmonizes Maynard.
Interesting Creepy Ass Videos list:D @th-cam.com/channels/-BjNSqQd2b_SCslDVLQ_SA.html
DO MORE OF THESE! So cool to see the actual musicians of great songs teaching them to you.
More of these please
That riff, that tone sa-weet. The riff sounds great even at low volumes!
Sloppy players who write > tight players who can't. Actually, having one of each in a band is best.
Hexspa the duo songwriting dynamic is huge in every popular band, especially with lyricists.
Most tight/technical players i know do not write their own material

I could listen to the first 30 seconds of this all day.
The gentle and effortless technique shows how much respect he has for his instrument
You know you’re getting old when songs you listened to as a kid start becoming lessons.
The bane of becoming 30, truly.
Is it just me? I could've listened to just that guitar ALL DAY....didn't want it to end!
My only question is does he buy glass guitar slides by the case or what, the way he just flings them off his finger like that took me by surprise.
Funny enough, I don’t break that many of them. I got good at a low angle launch onto the stage. I gave more out to fans then I break. Much prefer this way
I greatly appreciate this video and for Billy to perform it.
I would love any rapper or pop singer try and explain a guitar riff like this guy does. He is the definition of a "musician" and not a "rock star". A guy who studied his craft for the purpose of making great music; not trying to bang road whores or play on the radio. Well done my friend!
The song of flying slides...
Love the video, Thanks
Now for the love of god do The Outsider. That's song is so tricky and I know he switches between two different guitars.
That song is generally easy to play, its all those subtlety's that get me everytime though. I have the same issue with lots of Tool songs as well (46&2)
With an excitement energy of a live show, it’s so interesting that they can keep their focus to play the right chords
That's a beautiful Les Paul

I loved this song as a pre teen, and still love it to this day 💯
He sounds like hes playing from outerspace when he uses the slide
wow ... my heart has butterflies... this is intense ... 💙 much respect
The most attractive probation officer I ever had was named Judith.
You should probably lay off the crime there bud.
That's the coolest video I've seen in forever dude.

I wonder how many slides get broken and lost. LOL
3. And it's only in this video))
yrussq where do they come from
Yeah I saw him throwing the glass slide right off his finger like it's nothing, and was all like "WTF!?" lol
He throws them to the crowd during shows. My cousin was lucky enough to get one. I've been trying to steal it for years.
... and that's the coolest thing you'll see today.
2:52 gets me everytime.
Incredible playing.
pretty cool.
we need some Corgan, Cantrell, McCready, Thayil
Thayil!
Great REAL VIDEO! Thank you for sharing all these details Billy Howerdel!
This is so damn good it hurrts. This is the kinda stuff I DREAMED about when I was learning guitar for the first time way back in the day 🥰
One of my favorite songs. It’s tuned all the way down to drop B as Billy says.
He sounds like he'd rather have his throat sawn open with the low e string than do this video
Billy and Maynard have that characteristic in common. The reluctant geniuses.
He admits he's not a good teacher. Leave it at that. I'm great at Linux Administration, but I'm a terrible teacher!
This is amazing. One of my favorite songs ever.
I kept thinking, "Damn, this guy looks a lot like Billy Howerdel! How fitting that he's playing Judi...oh shit! It IS Billy Howerdel! That explains so much."
