i remember like it was yesterday i was 15 working at safeways after getting my first paycheck ever i went to future shop and bought this album and listened to it on repeat playing perfect dark on n64 those were the days thanks finger eleven! so much nostalgia
I was 15 or 16 when this album came out. I remember seeing this video on MTV2 then going to the mall to buy this CD at FYE. I would be hanging out in my room with my stereo cranked up blasting this album and Tip nonstop. My mom would constantly yell at me to "turn down that racket" then, after about 15 minutes later, I would turn it back up again lol I sure do miss those days.
i fucking understand the video! its the fact that he has his heart broken and he was acting like a kid. and he felt the world was after him. Another girl came along and healed him but his family thought that she would just hurt him in the end so they get her out of his life. but at the same time. it feels like the first time all over again. because he is now free but yet, right back where he started.
The early 2000s where everyone wore baggy pants or jeans.. don't worry, I was that crowd. It was very post-grunge style and I was into that. The Greyest of the Blue Skies still stands today as my all time favourite album. Every song on that album could have been a single.
I used to watch this video on MTV-X that was an awesome channel all rock music no rap (crap) no stupid shows like Jersey Shore or Cribs or The Real World. Just straight up Rock. I miss those days.
I miss mtvx... I'll never forget the day I turned it on and it was just gone... Replaced with rap. I called my cable company and yelled at them. Worst day ever...
@@p1x3lb1n4ry I always thought their earlier albums had more of an alternative metal sound but I guess that could still kinda fall under the nu metal umbrella.
This is what got me into metal basically. I heard this and drag you down on the local radio station and I was immediately sold. I'm 33 now and make my own metal and I owe it all to these guys
I have always loved how into the music he gets. Some people say he acts stupid, or laugh at the way he acts, but I find it awesome! It really shows how in tune with his lyrics, and the rest of the music he is.
finger eleven was the first concert I went to at 16. It was a small venue in a small Canadian city. I was blown away by the energy and how loud a real concert was. my mind was blown. The songs still bring me back to the simpler times. Great for getting that pump at the gym.
While I don't remember buying TGOBS I vividly remember going to a media store in Royal Oak Michigan and buying Tip and that brought me to this amazing and soul assuring/breaking album.
The bass player? I’ve only ever knew that dude to take one step forward and two steps back on stage. He just stands there, ...... did you mean James Black? (Dude with electrical tape)
an oldie but still wonderful to this day. They are fantastic live, their energy is wonderful and the way they interact with the fans is awesome! I have and always will love these guys
Holy shit....I haven't heard this in over a decade. o__O I just turned 31...and was hugely into nu-metal in highschool/college. It's funny...I've completely changed my taste in music(my favorite bands are Animal Collective and Yeasayer) but the nu-metal genre will always hold a place in my teenage heart. Is it cheesy? You bet. But despite the absurdity of it all...there's still some interesting musical ideas the genre explored. I remember loving this song...learning how to play it in my dorm room. I remember it so well because, as I was working out the guitar tab, I noticed the TV out of the corner of my eye...showed NYC smoldering under a giant dust cloud. That was an interesting day.....
Music Video summarized There is a suburban kid who is not treated well by his brothers & peers, some humanoid made from mud comes to life from his depression caused by abuse, the humanoid despite her intentions is visually unappealing, & coupling that with her older looking age, she is determined to be a stranger danger to the child, & by the end the cycle continues after somebody who could have potentially helped him is chased out/vanquished.
Love this song and the video rocks though I wish I could have seen if the woman lived or if she had died for sure. I remember this song from when I was a teenager and I just absolutely love it. Thanks for posting it on RUclips.
Thank God that kid was not that fast at the beginning of the song cause we would have not ever have been given this song if he would have gotten away....
This album was in my top 3 (couldn't decide between them) albums in the 90's and then well into my adult years. It's still pretty far up there. The Greyest of Blue Skies was also the time period it got me through :p.
I saw these guys perform in a small campus bar called "The John" at McMaster University in the early 2000's. I only knew two songs by them back then: First Time and Above. Discovered all their other songs later on though.

"The greyest of blue skies" is amazing, from start to the end. Depressive, dark, aggressive and nu metal.
i think tip and the greyest of blue skies are my favorite finger 11 albums
Tip's better

The 90's were badass🤙
Yea dude I was 14 and bought this cd at HMV I'm in my 30s now lol time flies...still a album I play alot. 🤘😎🤘
This is such an awesome recollection of a memory! Love it!
Most underrated rock song of all time.
Hell no. But it's ok
But it kind of is. It was just recently awarded that title officially
That melody....man o man. This melody was ahead of its time.
i fucking understand the video! its the fact that he has his heart broken and he was acting like a kid. and he felt the world was after him. Another girl came along and healed him but his family thought that she would just hurt him in the end so they get her out of his life. but at the same time. it feels like the first time all over again. because he is now free but yet, right back where he started.
One of these songs that keep popping up in your head from time to time and then it's awesome to give it a listen again even after all those years.
I just spent five minutes trying to remember the band name. Of course the title was also gone. I still remember the lyrics, though!
The early 2000s where everyone wore baggy pants or jeans.. don't worry, I was that crowd. It was very post-grunge style and I was into that. The Greyest of the Blue Skies still stands today as my all time favourite album. Every song on that album could have been a single.
The alternative scene of that era was fantastic! So many good bands.
Facts....rappers, skaters, ravers, skids...all baggy
Yes!!! I first heard them getting a free sample cd from the music store.
The DBZ movie brought me here once again…..I remember I was 14 first hearing this song now I’m 33‼️
Same! Good memories
Same but 36 here
35
Solid selection for the movie, this is unitonically one of the best alt records of the era, Tip as well
What dbz movie lol
It's 2020. Still enjoying this band. ♥️
2021🤘🖤
2022
i just went and seen them live this month, worth every penny.
Same
hands down the by far best finger eleven song, loved it since i was a teenager
middle school days all over again! this is back when these guys were rockin. old school much music days :p
2019 anyone? Much love to this band. Mom gave me their album The Greyest of Blue Skies when I was a kid. Great album
2021
How about 2022 🤘🤘🤘 #NuMetalForLife
2024!!
Your mom rules \m/
I'm sure everyone can agree we all miss when finger eleven was good.
I used to watch this video on MTV-X that was an awesome channel all rock music no rap (crap) no stupid shows like Jersey Shore or Cribs or The Real World. Just straight up Rock. I miss those days.
I was SOOO pissed when they turned MTV-X into MTV Jamz.
I miss mtvx... I'll never forget the day I turned it on and it was just gone... Replaced with rap. I called my cable company and yelled at them. Worst day ever...
i was about 6 when MTV-X got shut down
It's nu metal
@@p1x3lb1n4ry I always thought their earlier albums had more of an alternative metal sound but I guess that could still kinda fall under the nu metal umbrella.
Just got this album along with 'Tip.' There are some of the best guitar riffs you'll ever hear on both albums
if by best u mean easy to play by even a novice guitar player like me then ya.. you are correct lol.
@@greenbackz not all the best riffs have to be complicasted shit lol
@@jacinto1477 agreed. Smoke on the Water’s riff is super simple yet extremely iconic.
One of the best songs ever, never even heard it on the radio.
@Roslyn Ronald Was his name Barney Simon by any chance?
Still my favorite song from Finger Eleven after many years... this track kind of makes me emotional.
I feel you
I miss hanging out with this band.
the greyest of the blue skies is the best album of Finger Eleven for sure!
agreed
Underrated Classic/10
This is what got me into metal basically. I heard this and drag you down on the local radio station and I was immediately sold. I'm 33 now and make my own metal and I owe it all to these guys
seeing them live will NEVER be forgotten
Man, what a song to random into! I had forgotten how good Finger Eleven making music like this. Many good Memories with this song. Damn...
A perfectly structured song.
agreed
what's so special about the structure?
@@SayHelloToTheRobots somber and intense
Facts!
loved this song as soon as I heard it
Same
Same
Love this song. Every time I would listen to this album when it was new, nobody knew who it was.
I remember getting this as a single when I worked for Chapters online. I couldn’t stop listening to it.
That bass though! Absolutely killer.
I have always loved how into the music he gets. Some people say he acts stupid, or laugh at the way he acts, but I find it awesome! It really shows how in tune with his lyrics, and the rest of the music he is.
Back when Finger Eleven was BADASS!!!! The whole Album is a masterpiece
Where my nu metal bruddahs at? 2024 we out here!
Riiiiight 'ere hehehe... *Fist bump*
@@suprsparky77 right back at ya my guy! 🤜🤛
Here
this whole cd just kicked ass
The nostalgia you get from old songs is amazing newer songs just don't have the feel of songs like these
DBZ brought me here. One of my favorite songs from the Lord Slug movie
HAHA YES!!!!!!!
Though "Drag You Down" is my favorite.
Tiones88 DBZ - Lord Slug (2001)
Alan Gamino new dbz series apparently in the words; "dbz super"!
theres a lot of good song in that movie i get nostalgic just thinking about it.
This band checks all the right boxes. Like BMTH but before thier time.😮 tip and greyest are legendary!!
i saw these guys last night at the wildflower music festival this was their opening song.
rock on Finger Eleven
Their best song still... I've seen them live, and they are wicked cool!!!

The energy the bass player gives this video gets me so fuckin pumped up every time.

@@SwirlingSnow That sounds like sarcasm

So nice music/ 2018 - still listening ♥
Just so a little bit of people but this music is the most precious gem. 👍
MeteorRed 2019/05/20 still listening. sublime
First time I saw this fantastic music video & band was way back in the year 2000 on MTV.

Let me guess, you banged them back stage.............
No. You fucktard
Still banging this band further more.
Back when Finger Eleven was making actual good music.
They always have been.
stay and drown first time drag you down good times are over ..why do people only know them for paralyzer?
@@razkable Cause it was their only really popular song.
@@Oldschoolgamer13 one thing was way more popular than paralyzer. Paralyzer is just the newest mass media push.
@@Oldschoolgamer13 Unregistered Hypercam 2 2007
one of the reasons why i always watch the dragon ball z films because of the themes
the universe has aligned. ...and every drum hit with so much intention.
man this album is deep af crazy seein a video for it because i never rememberd any of this
I used to wait for this song to play on the radio when I was young . its a legendary song
I saw that this is one of the greatest albums i agree, the electric guitar is out of this world
Easily their best song and one of my favourites of all time
Woke up with this song on my head. I remember waiting for this video to play on mtv2 so I could record it ...
Emotional and strong.. reminds me of something hurtful
A all time classic
Love this song
same
The Greyest Of Blue Skies it's finally in Spotify!
2023 here and This song still Sounds amazing ❤🇨🇦 never gets old
time to put this song back n my playlist..listening in 2018 😎😎😎
Fantastic video.
gg
2019 and it still kicks ass

I saw F11 back when Tip was just released at Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. Fan since I heard Tip!
How does this only have a "million" views?
This song is awesome
Memories of cruising in 01 to high school in the TA ;D great times.
Holy shit....I haven't heard this in over a decade. o__O
I just turned 31...and was hugely into nu-metal in highschool/college. It's funny...I've completely changed my taste in music(my favorite bands are Animal Collective and Yeasayer) but the nu-metal genre will always hold a place in my teenage heart. Is it cheesy? You bet. But despite the absurdity of it all...there's still some interesting musical ideas the genre explored.
I remember loving this song...learning how to play it in my dorm room. I remember it so well because, as I was working out the guitar tab, I noticed the TV out of the corner of my eye...showed NYC smoldering under a giant dust cloud. That was an interesting day.....
Hell no dude. Im 31 too and Ive never moved on. Nu metal is still alive and well and dare I say even better now that the flash of MTV is gone.
Music Video summarized
There is a suburban kid who is not treated well by his brothers & peers, some humanoid made from mud comes to life from his depression caused by abuse, the humanoid despite her intentions is visually unappealing, & coupling that with her older looking age, she is determined to be a stranger danger to the child, & by the end the cycle continues after somebody who could have potentially helped him is chased out/vanquished.
Love this song!
Il be here in 2029 and beyond this song will be remembered my whole life
Love this song and the video rocks though I wish I could have seen if the woman lived or if she had died for sure. I remember this song from when I was a teenager and I just absolutely love it. Thanks for posting it on RUclips.
Ik same love the song but would also love to know her outcome...
the song rocks for sure
The time signatures in this song are epic!
2019 & still rockin' it!
Thank God that kid was not that fast at the beginning of the song cause we would have not ever have been given this song if he would have gotten away....
run forrest run
get over the faithful yesterdays .................. true words
Absolutely! First time I heard this and Drag You Down were on that movie :D
that's where i first heard & fell in love with this song was because of that movie lol
Straight classic yo!! #Finger11
This album was in my top 3 (couldn't decide between them) albums in the 90's and then well into my adult years. It's still pretty far up there. The Greyest of Blue Skies was also the time period it got me through :p.
lol those huge pants.... such high school!
I still rock some of my JNCOs and Kikwear pants from my high school days lol
Found myself singing this song at work out of nowhere, awesome song! :)
Just found this…..thanks generation X!!!!!!!
THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!!
Saw them at Summersault 2000 and it was the best time I ever had 💜
I'm so happy I found them I love this
I ded played perfect dark and I also love this band. They were dope live
Always been my favorite Finger Eleven tune. Wish the lead guitarist would still electrical tape his arms, so bad ass!
MTV X introduced me to these guys. When MTV had a channel dedicated to rock music 24/7.
The guitarist looks like hes from Tekken
Toxic-Vermin I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed
haha XD
Toxic-Vermin he does
Kazuya on da guitar, bruh
KAZUYA..HIROSHIMA..
2020 and still loving it !!!
I saw these guys perform in a small campus bar called "The John" at McMaster University in the early 2000's. I only knew two songs by them back then: First Time and Above. Discovered all their other songs later on though.
NICE music vídeo clip , 2018🤗
Still here in 2022 ❤
saw this live recently since they’ve been touring again and it was even better then expected ❤️❤️
I’m seeing them in Sept with Creed and 3 Doors Down🔥❤️
Avec Méli au APPLE MTL......une vrais Femme xx
Wish this band would of stay this way but they made that change and boom gone
Agreed 😖
This song is the greatest
I was the little kid with the mushroom cut.. I never forget the smell of the clay that put on that lovely lady.
Lord slug movie dbz was where I was turned on for
The first time !!
