I like how the bassist is all chill and stuff, like everyone else is all dancing weird, and just generally being weird and the bassist is all, "hey, I'm just happy to be here, don't mind me". Great song and great band also.
That's how everyone use to jam with their instruments back then especially in the alternative and nu metal scene. Everyone else was to worried about messing up their emo bangs lol
I love and miss my uncle. This band was the first rock show he took me to in Pompano Beach FL when I was a teen. And, they blew me away!!!!! RIP Uncle Anthony.
@@RaquelsModernLife No they didn't. UFC used the song "Face the Pain" by STEMM and yes the riff does sound a little similar but I wouldn't go as far as saying STEMM stole the guitar riff
Been listening them since high school in the mid 2000's. I always loved watching the bass player, in every video, just chill in the back and do his thing, watching his pals go nuts. Always makes me laugh.
it was good stuff.. I still have it and listen to a few songs from it from time to time.. brings me back to being a 17 year old kid (where the time go?) lol
+Frisbee I believe what many bands don';t share with It's consumers throughout the years for the reason hard rock goes soft; maturity. With wisdom comes less aggression. Truths like, violence begets more violence. Victim mentality lyricism is void of solutions that keep an individual harboring resentment, by being incapable of forgiving. Lastly, the awareness of the power of influence. It's great to relate to a countless number of dysfunctional youth, but why continually fuel hatred/bitterness when the outcome is well understood?... This clearly doesn't apply to everyone. Just my observations over the years along the spectrum of Rock.
Ishiinrue Oh I agree with you 100%. That's my argument against haters of the new-age Korn. When the older Korn albums came out, Jonathan was in a bad frame of mind. He grew up and isn't as full of hate, and that is apparent in their music. I'm all for growing with bands as they change their frame of mind, as long as the music is still to my liking. If a band changes their style of music (i.e. Trivium going more power-metal in their last album) than I simply won't listen to it. I'll give it a chance, but that's the thing with music, it's all subjective. In the same breath though, you can still have awesome heavy music even though it doesn't have self-loathing and hateful lyrics. Just look at Gojira.
Quite literally one of the most UNDERRATED Rock Bands of ALL Time! So much incredible potential within this crew...what could have been should have been! Wtf happened to the phenoms!? So many memories to this album..was a source of strength after a nasty breakup with an ex gf I still love to this day. Powerful vibes to say the least 🙏🍀✌️♾️🤯💥☣️☢️🌋🪬🆘🧨💯
One of the most perfectly executed music videos of all time. Love all of the focal lengths and camera angles and camera shakes that follow the music to a tee. Awesome job!
Forgot to mention. I saw you guys in 2003 at the Corel Centre in Ottawa. I was there to see Ozzy and had never heard of Finger 11. You left a permanent mark on me. I recognize talent when I see/hear it! Good job guys!
One of the first songs that led me down path of metal back in my freshman year of HS.... knee deep in death metal and other stuff... such humble beginnings, lol
@@SayHelloToTheRobots Picks up another stick within a second in the stick holder. Every smart drummer who plays gigs has one with spares incase they break mid performance.
Sean is probably one of the most underrated bass players I've ever heard. should get more recognition. his bass tells a story in alot of finger eleven songs.
+LombaxesAndOttsels ugh, they played that song to death when i was in highschool, so id troll the 'new' F11 fans with the fact they made goofy songs in the 90s as the rainbow butt monkeys
good old classic. this was the first song I heard by them and first time I discovered them. I was 10 or 11 at the time. Going to be seeing them live for fist time in July!
Heard this song a while ago in Dragon Ball Z Movie 4: Lord Slug and tried to figure out what song it was by them lol. Only knew it was them by Scott 's voice. Had to look it up.
Greyest of Blue Skies was an amazing album!! It's still one of the the few albums I can listen to all songs all the way through and still enjoy! I want this Finger Eleven back! Before they sold out! :(
So interesting to see how this band consistently adapted to the zeitgeist, both in the style of their music and visual aesthetic. As minor key nu-metal became less popular, Finger Eleven vegan working with dancier and indie-inflected pop rock and moved away from this heavy sound. James Black stopped putting liberty spikes in his hair. Rich Beddoe gave up the Juggalo dreads. Scott Anderson grew his hair out... For me, I guess it felt like I was growing up with the band.
When you listen to the 2 albums before this one, it's even more jarring because they started as more of a "post-grunge" band with funk influences. So the shift to nu metal was a conscious decision to fit with the trends then too.
It's biting it's teething it's biting I'm bleeding It's calling it's crawling it's calling and I'm falling The perfect sound of middle ground Pull me under before I try to drag you down Someone has to pull me under before I try and drag you, drag you, drag you down They're fighting they're growing they're fighting and they're growing I'm biting I'm teething I'm biting and bleeding The perfect sound of middle ground Pull me under before I try to drag you down Someone has to pull me under before I try and drag you, drag you, drag you down Biting and teething and bleeding The perfect sound of middle ground Pull me under before I try to drag you down Someone has to pull me under before I try and drag you, drag you, drag you down
funny thing. is i watched lord slug movie when i was a kid. never knew this was finger eleven till like couple years ago.. wtf happen to them? this shit is way better
I remember seeing this song live at the university of Calgary in 2000. Finger eleven opened for I Mother Earth (post Edwin leaving)….and holy fuck, they killed it. EVERYONE was crowd surfing, the mosh pit was insane, there were people jumping from the fucking stage; amazing live performers. They sounded just like they did on their recordings. They were better than I Mother Earth, by far. Will never forget this!
Just watched the APC Judith video and reminded me of this one. Some similar shots and ideas. I remember seeing the making of this on Much Music and them showing the camera rig for the part where he shakes the screen. Very cool idea and execution.
Canadas rock/alt-rock scene from about the mid 90s to 2005 or so produced so many creative music videos. There was never any big budgets so the directors were free to experiment and it resulted in a lot of memorable tv.

Speaking as a bassist, I think that's usually just the general bassist mindset lmao
@@leestaggers2583 Unless you are Frank Bello from Anthrax lol dude is the most hype bass player I ever seen
He's like this in every video and live performance
@@keithgraham8588 Check out the bassist from sound garden with his monkey arms… Good to see the comments still alive for my favorite band \m/
I first heard this song on DBZ Lord Slug movie....badass song and everyone loves DBZ
I'm gonna go ahead and say The Greyest of Blue Skies is one damn amazing album. Every track is just so perfect.
I realize i'm four years too late, but i absolutely agree.
Yea. I wanna get it again. My mom gave it to me when I was a kid and over the years it got lost from moving alot
Nah i like the one with quicksand and above better
@@necessaryevil7777 Tip?
I know that the first time i heard there album in the fuckiing 90s lol
The drumstick swap at 2:14 is so freaking smooth!
Almost as clean as Dino’s drumstick swap in Bug Eyes by Dredg. You can see it the music video. It’s amazing
Hell yeah that was slick 🤘😎🍻
I love and miss my uncle. This band was the first rock show he took me to in Pompano Beach FL when I was a teen. And, they blew me away!!!!!
RIP Uncle Anthony.
Well, come back and watch it. Also paralyzer and Slow Chemical! Check out the Used " Bird and the Worm".
If I ever become a fighter in sport, this will be my intro. Hands down
Keelan Kennedy It would instill fear into the hearts of every opponent.
@@jamesedleymusic ..and nausea.
@@jamesedleymusic I do not disagree with what you just said
I mean... UFC already stole the guitar riff. LoL just sayin’ 😏
@@RaquelsModernLife No they didn't. UFC used the song "Face the Pain" by STEMM and yes the riff does sound a little similar but I wouldn't go as far as saying STEMM stole the guitar riff
What happened to THIS finger eleven?
It was riding the nu metal train, and it stopped at "Pop Success" station, and they got off. =D
Well actually Matt Damon started focusing on his acing career and quit the band as their lead singer.
Jefferson Ruboix :(
Jefferson Ruboix that's all because he gained weight and lost some hair(
TheGreaterGood80 that’s actually my favorite part
miss their aggressive sound
Ikr, I couldnt believe this band is the same band who made paralyzer. I thought it was a maroon 5 song at first lol.
@@BrainDeadNed maroonn5 ppfff get outta here
Same here. This album and Tip will always be their best.
We are the future bro... YOU could be the next thing up with Finger Eleven if done right dude. Bless your heart!
Ah, the late 90's/early 2000's style of holding the guitar at your ankles.
Gotta love the 20th century
stop, can't handle the nostalgia already...
Yup. I forgot about this band nice to hear them again ahah
uh that started in the early 90s,,,,watch Krist Novaselic with Nirvana
alternative metal should be alternative in all aspects, even in the style of holding the guitar
Been listening them since high school in the mid 2000's. I always loved watching the bass player, in every video, just chill in the back and do his thing, watching his pals go nuts. Always makes me laugh.
He definitely is the most chill of the group
Wow, I had no idea Finger Eleven used to be like this. They remind me of Stained. Used to be hard and now they're not.
yeah imagine the shock of knowing them from 'the greyest of blue skies' and hearing 'paralyzer' on the radio for the first time lol
it was good stuff.. I still have it and listen to a few songs from it from time to time.. brings me back to being a 17 year old kid (where the time go?) lol
jatyreous of that time it was a great album.. just like Staind's dysfunction album

I like how the bassist is always standing there jamming. He never goes crazy.
i've noticed that in live videos of them too. ii think he's just a shy dude.
Probably because he is very technical with his playing

This song goes unnecessarily harder than it needs to! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not Hard enough!! Ukraine needs a Tough Resistance Song!! So the Pig!>>Czar Putin!! Fucking feels it!!
This whole album slaps tbh never heard another nu metal album quite like it
THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!
22 years later and this video still rad as it ever be!!!
Lord slug, dbz movies were the absolute shit 👌
A fucking killer song that never got its due! One of May favorite guitar solos of all time, shit is so fukn good!!! Still a fan for 13 years now!!!
This album was my hyperfocus for a week after a tragedy and it took me nearly 20 years to be able to listen to it all the way through again.
One of the first songs that led me down path of metal back in my freshman year of HS.... knee deep in death metal and other stuff... such humble beginnings, lol
Cool ! Can you make some groups in all steps of you path ?!
Who's here in 2024 listening to this banger? 🤘😂
HELL YEAH!!!
I am for sure !!!
OH HELL YEAH 🤘
Every year! ❤❤❤
What is "banger?"
Dbz lord SLUG
Dragon you down
DBZ brought me here. Badass music kept me here.
Also, drummer breaks his stick at 2:15. :)
Rick's NERD LIFE!! It was intentional
but he still holds two sticks o_O
@@SayHelloToTheRobots Picks up another stick within a second in the stick holder. Every smart drummer who plays gigs has one with spares incase they break mid performance.
Good eye!
The "Greyest Of Blue Sky's"is a Masterpiece.One of my Alltime Favorite albums.It never gets old for me.Awesome music-Indeed!
This is the Finger Eleven I remember and love, and that's that!
Dbz has the wildest playlist
I like how everyone is going hard except that one guy
The bassist. It's not really an intense part.
he's groovin' at 1:44
bass players are chill man : )
This whole album is awesome.
Sean is probably one of the most underrated bass players I've ever heard. should get more recognition. his bass tells a story in alot of finger eleven songs.
and it's always clearly audible in the mix, even on The Greyest of Blue Skies with heavily distorted guitars
from dragon ball z the lord slug movie one of the greatest films with sick themes
Holy damn, after years of Paralyzer, I never knew Finger Eleven did music like this!
+LombaxesAndOttsels ugh, they played that song to death when i was in highschool, so id troll the 'new' F11 fans with the fact they made goofy songs in the 90s as the rainbow butt monkeys
Listen to tip. It's a great album start to finish.
Also featured on the dbz Lord Slug movie 🤘😁🤘
I miss music (and music videos) like this. There will never be a time like the late 90s and early 2000s ever again 😢
Lord slug sent me here.
Same 😂
Same 😂
me three lol
Saaaame
DBZ!!
This album blew my mind. Still badass
Ohhh yess I love his heavy songs! Such a frickin fabulous screaming voice!
respect for John Malkovich for such vocals, malkovich malkovich
good old classic. this was the first song I heard by them and first time I discovered them. I was 10 or 11 at the time. Going to be seeing them live for fist time in July!
I will be seeing them live tonight September ,14 ,2024
This song reminds me so much of Korn in every way
Lol!!!! Same thought!!!!!
@Guitarriff1988ii slipknot doesnt sound like mudvayne bro 🤣
Julian Picard in every way no doubt.
Guitarriff1988ii I listen to all those bands, and I haven’t heard a song sound so much like korn ever like this particular song.
@Guitarriff1988ii Limp Bizkit sounds more like Linkin Park
Ahh yes.. F11.. been a fan since day one.. Tip is one of my all time favorite albums, raw, lightly produced, pure music... Love these guys!
Back in the day when they were good, and I was much younger! xD
Bought this the day it was released at HMV in the Oshawa Center lol good times, awesome memories. 🤘😎💯🇨🇦
Heard this song a while ago in Dragon Ball Z Movie 4: Lord Slug and tried to figure out what song it was by them lol. Only knew it was them by Scott 's voice. Had to look it up.
litteraly how i ended up on this right now lol
When goes bands go bad. Bums me out if they kept doing stuff like this they'd be so beast.
gotta love the slow drumming at the end chorus
Man this is childhood memories from DBZ Lord slug soundtrack wtf happen?. Paralyzer sounds like Green Day shit.
Band is criminally underrated, it's a crime I say!
Those JNCO's though !!! Man I mis those fucking days !!!
Greyest of Blue Skies was an amazing album!! It's still one of the the few albums I can listen to all songs all the way through and still enjoy! I want this Finger Eleven back! Before they sold out! :(
What a perfect party song right who's with me
Beautiful Art.
yea...how did these guys go from this to *gasp* paralyzer?? omfg still a fan of the big pants :D
I can feel the adrenaline. The guitars sound like they're bleeding, the voice is pained, the drum is done so perfectly arouse the perfect beat.
Perfect example of sell outs. Loved this band,. Keyword LOVED
how did they sell out?
Applebottom Jeans
Look how they are now
***** Bands change.
Changing with age doesn’t automatically mean selling out. Sometimes the opposite happens.
just like how hedley went from punk to pop
This was great finger eleven
This is a stupendous Rock song. ❤❤❤
GREAT song! I love the guitarist's pants hahaha XD
THIS SONG ROCKS!!!
Fav track of this band ♥
Brings back memories of high school
Legends
The insturmental of korn + lyrics of deftones = perfection
The bassist forgot this was a nu metal video,also the nu metal drip in this video is off the charts

idk how more badass you can get lol
This album was so awesome!! I saw them on tour for it at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon, SK. I forget who they played with.
This is bad ass!!!!!!!!
Maaayne I totally went back through time. Suddenly all I can think of are my old winamp skins 🔥
Ayooo those were the days!
Awesome song, i love the beat
It's biting it's teething it's biting I'm bleeding
It's calling it's crawling it's calling and I'm falling
The perfect sound of middle ground
Pull me under before I try to drag you down
Someone has to pull me under before
I try and drag you, drag you, drag you down
They're fighting they're growing they're fighting and they're growing
I'm biting I'm teething I'm biting and bleeding
The perfect sound of middle ground
Pull me under before I try to drag you down
Someone has to pull me under before
I try and drag you, drag you, drag you down
Biting and teething and bleeding
The perfect sound of middle ground
Pull me under before I try to drag you down
Someone has to pull me under before
I try and drag you, drag you, drag you down
funny thing. is i watched lord slug movie when i was a kid. never knew this was finger eleven till like couple years ago.. wtf happen to them? this shit is way better
The only man who can sing louder without microphone than with it xD
I love this song it's so hard plus I love these guy's plus they are Canadian too so that's a good thing
My favorite album was their self titled, Other Light, Stay In Shadow, Good Times, Complicated Questions, all good songs.
"Let's Get in On!!!!!!" And hear we Go
the good old days when finger eleven was making nice heavy music lol
Best SONG of Any of their Albums !!
True pioneers that don’t get the credit they deserve
I remember seeing this song live at the university of Calgary in 2000. Finger eleven opened for I Mother Earth (post Edwin leaving)….and holy fuck, they killed it. EVERYONE was crowd surfing, the mosh pit was insane, there were people jumping from the fucking stage; amazing live performers. They sounded just like they did on their recordings. They were better than I Mother Earth, by far.
Will never forget this!
While I'm not that big of a fan of alternative rock, though I have to admit: THIS SONG FUCKING SLAYS!
This whole Album slays
These guys were so damn good live ....
I remember meeting them and asking him to play my fav song of theirs when he said which i said broken words, they added it to the set too
Just watched the APC Judith video and reminded me of this one. Some similar shots and ideas.
I remember seeing the making of this on Much Music and them showing the camera rig for the part where he shakes the screen. Very cool idea and execution.
3 types of Finger Eleven fans:
1. WWE fans
2. DBZ fans
3. Casual metal fans
2018... heard it in Dragon Ball Z when i was younger and i haven't stopped since !!
WillyPowers in dragon ball????
Got this free 2 song "single" cd from ordering BMX parts when I was in Jr. High.
Loooove this song!
Man this is awesome. They sound like Korn
Best 4th wall break ever!
I LOVE when he grabs the camera at the end and throws it.
so fucking cool
Love the way the guitars players play.
This was their best album i miss their old stuff they need to go back to their roots...
One of greatest songs and music video I can bench 700000 kgs and run 1000000 miles to this 😂❤
It’s giving the beautiful people theme from TNA !! Loveee
