		Howerdel later plays a droning, melodic guitar solo filled with dreamy, metal textures as he follows the somber vocals of Keenan and Freese’s pulsating drum crashes.
		Howerdel accompanies Keenan with a melodic, guitar track as he continues to sing the song’s melancholic lyrics before going to the simmering chorus of “So I threw the obvious/Do you see what occurs behind the eyes of an angel/Eyes of a tragedy, well, oh well/Apparently nothing, apparently nothing at all”.
		A Perfect Circle that consisted of Maynard James Keenan (wearing a strange wig where he looked like Julia Roberts on booze), Billy Howerdel and Troy Van Leeuwen on guitars, Paz Lenchantin on bass, and Josh Freese on drums went on the road opening for NIN on their acclaimed Fragility 2.0 North American tour.

	Rough Edge: A Perfect Circle CD Reviews
		Billy Howerdel still has creative control here and knows that Maynard James Keenan possesses the perfect vocal touch when it comes to delivering emotion, brood and melancholy.
		After having some legal battles to deal with, Keenan teamed up with Billy Howerdel (who worked with The Smashing Pumpkins and NIN), so you can just imagine the music that comes out of your speakers when this disc is played.

	[No title]
		Howerdel's earlier work with Billy Corgan makes perfect sense as a result, since the Pumpkins regularly fused the extreme theatricality of metal and goth just so, but Howerdel's work is no clone.
		Produced by Howerdel and mixed by the inimitable Andy Wallace, Thirteenth Step is a moodier, tenser, and more atmospheric (if that is possible) recording than its predecessor.
		Written mostly by Howerdel and Keenan, the songs traverse a particular associated with surrender, loss, having the nature of a person stripped away, and turning in the twilight of those feelings toward a kind of slow transformation into something that can only be called "other."

		Suddenly Howerdel went from tuning guitars and tweaking knobs to playing in front of thousands as the driving force behind one of the most popular bands in rock.
		The crowd APC attracts is a mixed one, with some people drawn in by the associations of Howerdel's bandmates, and others simply intrigued by the band's mix of progressive rock and heavy metal.
		Overall, Howerdel's attitude is remarkably laid back for a guy who's gone from anonymous to rock star in a few short years.

	JAMES IHA DOT ORG :: News Database
		Still, when he got that transcontinental e-mail from Billy Howerdel of the band A Perfect Circle, Iha, 35, paused to consider the request and whether he was up to the large commitment.
		Iha got to know Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan in 1999, when APC opened for the Pumpkins, a 1990s alt-rock/heavy-rock band with another Billy (the alpha male Corgan) who did a lot more than Iha.
		When a guitar spot opened up in APC, Howerdel thought of Iha for a few reasons: He liked his guitar work in the Pumpkins, but he also wanted someone who'd been in the business awhile and could manage life on the road with a band of veterans.

	A Perfect Circle
		During the winter of ’99, the rumors were everywhere; Tool's elusive frontman Maynard James Keenan and songwriter/guitarist Billy Howerdel, without management or a record deal, had just finished a quiet little club tour with their new band, A Perfect Circle.
		Additions of note included an excellent cover of David Bowie's “Ashes to Ashes” and a new song entitled “Vacant,” which is actually the first publicly performed song off the Tapeworm project — a long-rumored studio collaboration between Keenan, the members of NIN and a host of others.
		In addition to Keenan and Howerdel, APC includes guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen (formerly of Failure), bassist Paz Lenchantin and drummer Josh Freese of The Vandals.

	Music Review: A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step - [XPD8.NeT] World Headquarters
		Formed by former Fishbone guitar tech, Billy Howerdel, A Perfect Circle consisted of Howerdel, Tool’s frontman, Maynard Keenan who had met Howerdel on tour and became enamored of his songs, bassist Paz Lechantin, Josh Freese on drums and Troy Van Leeuwen sharing duties on guitars.
		Howerdel and Maynard team up on the songwriting and the resulting 12 songs are generally more atmospheric than the debut.
		It is perhaps a testament to Howerdel’s songwriting ability and Maynard’s experience (and his own excellent songwriting skills) that this second album is such a big step forward for A Perfect Circle.

		Between Lenchantin leaving the band for Billy Corgan's new band Zwan and van Leeuwen becoming the new tour guitarist of Queens of the Stone Age, the band was in need for a new bassist and guitarist for their live performances.
		As there will be no activity from A Perfect Circle for a number of years (due to Maynard James Keenan's commitment to his other band Tool) it is assumed the band will be reformed for the next album depending on which musicians are available.
		Billy Howerdel has mentioned in November 2004 that the band will definitely contain Keenan and himself, and most likely Josh Freese.
