A Perfect Circle is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan. A Perfect Circle has released four studio albums, the first three during the early 2000s: ''Mer de Noms'', their debut album in 2000, and followed up by ''Thirteenth Step'' in 2003; then in 2004, '' Emotive''—an album of radically re-worked cover songs. Shortly after ''Emotive''s release, the band went on hiatus; Keenan returned to Tool and started up solo work under the band name Puscifer, while Howerdel released a solo album, ''Keep Telling Myself It's Alright'', under the moniker Ashes Divide. Band activity was sporadic in the following years; the band reformed in 2010, and played live shows on and off between 2010 and 2013, but fell into inactivity after the release of their greatest hits album, ''Three Sixty'', and a live album box set, '' A Perfect Circle Live: Featuring Stone and Echo'' in late 2013. The band reformed in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

With the first album, a majority of the album had been already written and recorded over a long period of time by guitarist Billy Howerdel, before a band had even been assembled. He had recorded it with a female vocalist in mind, but upon Tool vocal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Imagine (John Lennon Song)
"Imagine" is a song by English rock musician John Lennon from his 1971 album of the same name. The best-selling single of his solo career, the lyrics encourage listeners to imagine a world of peace, without materialism, without borders separating nations and without religion. Shortly before his death, Lennon said that much of the song's lyrics and content came from his wife, Yoko Ono, and in 2017 the process to give Yoko co-writing credit (while not yet confirmed), was already under way. Lennon and Ono co-produced the song with Phil Spector. Recording began at Lennon's home studio at Tittenhurst Park, England, in May 1971, with final overdubs taking place at the Record Plant, in New York City, during July. In October, Lennon released "Imagine" as a single in the United States, where it peaked at number three on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song was first issued as a single in Britain in 1975, to promote the compilation ''Shaved Fish'', and reached number six on the UK Sing ...

Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums
"Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums" is a promotional single by the American rock band A Perfect Circle, off of their third studio album '' Emotive''. While the album primarily consists of cover songs, the track, along with the lead single "Passive", were the only two original recordings. Containing many lyrical similarities with the track "Pet", from the previous album, ''Thirteenth Step'', lead singer and lyricist Maynard James Keenan described the track as a continuation of the song. While the former refers to addiction, "Counting Bodies" focuses on political agendas. Mixed by Danny Lohner, the music is completely electronic and without any guitars. Music video The video of "Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums" is animated and deals with a political topic. The video begins with a peace symbol crumbling apart and falling from view. An oil derrick starts to turn, as blood slowly drips down the screen. In the next scene, a young boy clim ...

The Outsider (A Perfect Circle Song)
"The Outsider" is a song from A Perfect Circle's second album, ''Thirteenth Step''. It was the album's second single, following "Weak and Powerless", and charted on the ''Billboard's'' Hot 100, Mainstream Rock, and Modern Rock charts in 2003. Background It uses a 6/8 and 4/4 time signature. Two remixes of "The Outsider" were made for ''aMOTION''. James Iha made the "Frosted Yogurt mix", which uses a much more toned-down, quiet, synthesized sound than the original. Danny Lohner's "Apocalypse Mix" is a darker, heavier version that starts as an ambient doomscape and ends in a way that resembles a music-playback program crashing. The latter version was included in the soundtrack to the movie ''Resident Evil: Apocalypse'' under the title "Resident Renholder Mix" and also in the ''Prison Break'' soundtrack under the title "Apocalypse mix". The "Resident Renholder Mix" of the song was featured in the premiere trailer for ''Resident Evil: Afterlife''. It is also featured in the film duri ...

3 Libras (song)
"3 Libras" is a song by alternative rock band A Perfect Circle. The song was the second single from their debut album ''Mer de Noms''. The song was well received both critically and commercially, with it peaking at number 12 on both the US ''Billboard'' Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts in 2000. Background As with all of the ''Mer de Noms'' album, "3 Libras'" music was written by guitarist Billy Howerdel, while the lyrics were written by vocalist Maynard James Keenan. The two originally envisioned the track to be the first single of their debut album prior to being talked into going with the hard rock track " Judith" by record label executives, who felt the track was a better lead off single due to it being less of a departure from Keenan's other band, Tool. Two official remixed versions of the song have been made; the "Feel My Ice Dub Mix" by band member Danny Lohner, and the "All Main Courses Mix" by Robert "3D" Del Naja of Massive Attack. They were compiled in 2004 on t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
