Where the heck did it go indeed , 90s were better times , with outstanding music , & extremely talented bands .. no matter the genre , Alternative, Rock grunge, .. I really miss that time & it's extraordinary music.. Long live the 90s
WHO'S LISTENING IN 2024?? MAN I'M 48YO THANKING GOD I'M STILL ALIVE!! THE 90S ERA OF MUSIC WILL NEVER LEAVE MY SOUL!! BEST ERA OF MUSIC IN MY LIFETIME!!!
This song is EPIC, and to me it epitomizes the pain and disillusionment of modern life. Many songs from the 90s did such a great job of putting the mirror to society and showing the dark undercurrents that exist in our world: "Under The Bridge", "Jeremy", "Man In The Box", "Creep", "Sober", "All Apologies", "Runaway Train", "Everybody Hurts", "Fell On Black Days", the list goes on.
It was an awesome time when people could express through music in stead of burning down cities. A good protest song, or a good song expressing disillusionment is millions of times more effective than lawlessness. I love this band and love these songs!
I used to listen to this in my car, all of the time. My 6 year old son did not understand why he was singing about a "Chef In The Room".😁. That little boy is the father of 2 now. God, I feel old.
@@amandawilson9555 Pretty funny, huh? I remember when my youngest son was 3. He always wanted to hear that "Rat in a Cage" song by Smashing Pumpkins. Kids, huh?
As a guitarist of 20 years, I know that hearing someone play an acoustic is the best way to tell if they're a good player or not. On an electric, you can get away with some stuff that you can't on an acoustic. These guys were really fucking great. The whole album is awesome. I've listened to it many times over the years.
Your spot on. These guys never got as much credit as they deserved . Amazing players. I learned on my dad's old 12 string at about 7. By the time I was 19-20 people couldn't believe how fast I was on a smooth thin electric. Your hands get so much tougher on acoustic. To play like then song after song they are amazing.
I miss y'all so much. As a black middle age grudge chick, please come back. We need y'all so much. After 2020, I need to feel something other than anxiety and defeatism. Please hear my plea. I have cookies and hugs for all of you.
Some days you wish you had a time machine. Especially days like today. Imagine being back in 1997 when times were more simple and we were kids looking forward to the future. Now the future of the world is bleak and you don't hear talented musicians on the radio.
That year I had my whole life ahead of me. I graduated from high school in 97, was ready to take on college, and back then great music and bands were in it's prime and twilight, including Days of The New. As far as today goes, at least the three original members minus Travis are bringing something new to the table with Blisskrieg, so that gives me hope.
Men who were manly,music that was real and could pull emotion out of you,playing instruments and no auto tune. What’s not to love?!?!? It doesn’t hurt that he’s a hottie in the vids!! Miss the 90’s,best time to be a teenager. I now watch my 3 teens navigate their way through a much harsher and cruel time,where what’s on the inside doesn’t count like it should. At least I managed to get 1 of them into my music!!!! P.s. Not hating on lgbtq+ at all,each to their own. It’s just good to see guys who don’t wear makeup and embody masculinity 🖤
Edit: I have been well aware he's still alive. I should have researched before I commented. I'm sitting here before 5 am thinking about how we lost him and his might have been the last of his kind as an accident. The masters we've lost since were intentional. And that's devastating.
Form your own business of unpublished masterpieces for us to stay and remember I love you 💋❤️ hartily but I'm still always here for the kids and mysic. Get to the moon in a few minutes and then go back. 😂🎉❤
Prodigy remade smack my bitch up at the same time. Roughly. Really turned on the dom sub culture. I never got that. I need to kill or want to fuck. No in between.
The lead singer was on one of the earlier seasons of Intervention. They had just hit it big so that kinda messed them up. He went from opening for Metallica to being homeless.
I am now! 15 years and the rest of my life to go! I did enough in the 90's to kill an entire continent. No more toe on the trigger! Keep strong and Amen!
Still haunting verses and such sadness to understand depression, and addictions, and life is just plain difficult! I hope Travis is ok wherever he is today!
I feel ya. Having been a person who has gone through many dark periods of my own life, his music really speaks to me. I feel blessed to have people in my life to keep me me in check. Travis has the talent to continue to do great things. I hope he has the people around him to remind him of this. I love to see days if the new live or put out some type of media online
@@Impuritan1 Mental Hippie Blood as well. And STP. And I also dare to say Creed. Call the vocals and the tones how I hear em. Music always has similarities. It's all just a foundation to build upon, change some angles to make it fresh, but it's still the same foundation it has been for millenia.
Do you know of any more music that has this type of sound? I mean like an open D, acoustic sound with repetitive riffs. I really want more music like this.
Rohan Casukhela I love SAP & Jar of Flies by Alice in Chains and Come Clean by Puddle of mudd but check out this link.... www.guitarchordsmagic.com/drop-d-tuning.html Also the 90's MTV Unplugged. Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana etc...
I’m in my early 40s, and sadly, I just heard DOTN for the first time this past month (Thank you quarantine). I am now obsessed... and very saddened by the direction Travis’ life has gone. As long as he’s alive, though, there is still hope for him. Thoughts, prayers, and good vibes going out for Travis. He needs them all...
If you haven’t already (you probably have) get the Green and Red albums too, they are both amazing. Travis is one of the best songwriters I’ve ever known. I’ve met and hung out with him a few times, he’s always be so super cool. I hope he finds his way.
It's probably your age group, I. believe. You're just young enough to have missed it. Not sure. They also didn't become super popular like other bands at the time... But amazing nevertheless..
Deep. Demon 👿😈 of demands, get back in the business of not tearing up the free time and then if you want me to I can discover a path diverging, its the only way. I want a heart to gold and a life of a metal titans in my eyes for me to make it easier for you to be the one that is nothing but it is a life of peace and serenity and wanting what I've got. I'm still in verging on dependingon ideas that I've been in the free world for years and I'm never going to make a life of anything for my endlessness and a lot of people to be the best person I've ever had to be in a relationship with my eyes 👀 and I just got a metal manic in my endlessness and I'm never going back to the house and I'm not sure what I want to do with it but I can laugh at it and see 🙈 and a lot of people who are heading out of consciousness to be a life 🧬 for me to make a lot of money 🤑💰 and a life of ❤ heatless bitch can die if you're not going anywhere in the free time I have to go to itevnezz and get a life of forgetful in the morning 🌅 🌄 if you ever really bothered to make it to the end of the day we needed to get together and get a next time nothing to do with you and I'm never going through this man and I'm not 🚫🚭 you like a memory of me it is nothing to do without you and I can't get to see 🙈 you see it all. Next time. Thanks.
Man...this takes me to Biloxi, Mississippi. 1998. 19 years old in the Marine Corps. These guys came out of NOWHERE and this was the first time I listened to anything rock, let alone bought the album, to this level. Days of the New should've been huge. But the Yellow Album is a classic.
Man, this album was so unique, it's hard to this day to put it into a defined genre. Hard ass lyrics, gorgeous down-tuned sound-layering, and the vocals... wow! I picked this album up, back when it came out, and the next 2 albums as they dropped. Years later, I'm at a party, and this dude picks up an acoustic and starts playing a perfect rendition of their work... I was in awe...jaw on the floor. We turned off the Mudvayne playlist we had running in the next room and let his sound ring out throughout the house... it was incredible, and while his playing was excellent in all respects... This album made that night happen the way it did. To this day, this band is seared into my memory. Today, I came home with the song "Weapon and the Wound" in mind... started whistling it as I walked through the door from work and minutes later was singing it out loud. Now, me, I'm culturally as much of a metalhead as one can get, but this album is metal AF. @"Marc Poirier" ... no... it's not. Just leave it at that.
This was one of the most incredible albums. Here I am, still listening to this track some 20 years after the album dropped and still it's one of my faves ever.
58. after all the 1st wave punk....early 80s, I got totally hooked on these guys and others same. Since then I've seen Travis twice; man he looked Fed. up on drugs....bad. That last time was Tampa 2006 - ish. Apparently this is Travis' official new Tube Channel "Maestro Music".
I was a freshman in high school and when this album came out-remember when they were on the cover of Teen People??-and this song stays with me till this day. The musicianship on this record is incredible and Travis’s voice is like no other’s. It’s a shame that the band had such a short time to shine; they were really something special.
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. This reminds me of being a kid going through all my older brothers cd's. I would sneak into his room and listen to his music when he wasn't home lol. Eventually he just let me borrow what i wanted anyway. One of my best memories:) Great music.
I don’t understand what this song is about, but still love the sounds. Something about a shelf that holds him and lets him know what to listen for.. idfk
Travis will be back. Better than ever. Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion. Dude has had issues yes. We all have. Support the ones who never give up. He will rise again. Believe that.
I still remember being blown completely away by this awesome song (and the entire album in general) when I first heard it. I really thought that these guys were destined for greatness when they first came out... sadly though, time would prove me wrong.
I grew up around these guys in Indiana. There music captured that time at home and what growing up in Indiana felt like then in the 90's . Everytime I hear them on the radio or some show, not matter where I'm at or what I'm going I'm that 16year old pot head, rainbow gathering going hippie skater kid again.
I love you, Travis. Never forget that we are gods trapped in the bodies of animals. All you have to do is keep breathing...just keep breathing and you've won the game.
Doug Prishpreed gotta remember he was teenager when he our this out, already had developed a drug issue.so yes it wasn't to hard to capture his exact mood..
This song is not about depression, its about being oppressed, and bullied and resisting what they are trying to shove in your face,this song has no depression in the message
Man this song is what immediately made me into a fan!! I'm 45yo today, and while I love many of their songs, this one, and the downtown song is what truly amazed me. Travis may have had his struggles but who in life doesn't. What a wonderful voice from back in the 90s when music was the best era!!!!
I was a junior in high school going into my senior year.. Was higher than a kite doing meth smoking weed and fighting with my parents all the time and you guys came along and changed everything in my life. There are no words for me to say that could even begin to describe what this album did in my life... You guys carried me through the next 5 years of my life.... Love y'all
As a 60 plus year old individual, with a very wide range of Music taste and preference ... I can safely say these guys were very underrated. I am amazed by the talent possessed by these young men back during that time, and still do even to this day. 😎
This is one of those songs I love just as much as I did on the first listen! So freaking good. 🤘 The whole CD on endless repeat back in the day got me thru one of those hide in the closet (everybody's watching me) LSD trips. Something about Travis' voice just got in between my brain cells and stuck there. Hard to explain but it's almost like the remembering of a smell that makes it so vivid when I hear this song STILL so many years later.
The key is so distant I've opened doors Know when to listen Know what to listen for (yeah) The shelf in the room Has been the way of holding me And letting me stay Kick me out Let me go I don't belong here no more A releasing sense of getting tired Hold myself I can't hold myself The shelf in the room Has been so true I can hide in The shelf in the room Holding out Never hold in Holding out Never hold Know when to listen Know what to listen for Believe in resistance Don't let them tell you anymore Is there anyway/no To get away/no Ask myself While I stay inside The key is so distant I've closed my doors The shelf in the room Is rain waiting to pour
One of the greatest bands in the 90s, plus I always loved acoustic music. I wish Travis would bring this band back, it would be great to see them live.
I'm 51 soon to be 52 and let me tel you the 90s had some awesome music. Anyway, he looks a lot like Ian Somerhalder.
Bought that CD back in the day. Now I'm 51 in 2024. Wtf that time went.
Sure did
I feel you brother! Just listened to this at 46 and wondered the same thing, where the time go?
I feel you. Sometimes I listen to stuff from my 20s & it makes me half happy/ half bummed.
Where the heck did it go indeed , 90s were better times , with outstanding music , & extremely talented bands .. no matter the genre , Alternative, Rock grunge, .. I really miss that time & it's extraordinary music..
Long live the 90s
And this time is so so much worse...
These guys are so underrated. Everytime I hear this song i feel like I can push a little further as tired or beaten I may be.
Check out "Dax Riggs" if you want more like this.
if u need some music recommendations lemme know awesome band super underrated
you can't hide from the shelf in the room
These guys are no longer together and the lead singer is a
balding, mess of a shell of his prior self.
I acknowledge they're so underrated when I hear that beautiful guitar tune in the beginning of their songs like YEP thats Dayz!
WHO'S LISTENING IN 2024?? MAN I'M 48YO THANKING GOD I'M STILL ALIVE!! THE 90S ERA OF MUSIC WILL NEVER LEAVE MY SOUL!! BEST ERA OF MUSIC IN MY LIFETIME!!!
58 here but this is timeless.
Turned 30 in August
I just turned 50. I feel ya
39 here on October 12! 🤘
42. Saw them live back in the day.
We hope Travis is good after all these years, man. What an inspiration. If you read this you are a fucking LEGEND brother.
He was on the first episode of Intervention. Not sure if he kicked his heroin habit.
(Damien
It was meth not heroin @@wendyhamm9722
@@wendyhamm9722He did not. 💔. Such a waste of a gift.
I@@wendyhamm9722 I always thought that his drug of choice was Crystal meth and not Heroin? I might be wrong tho

That's right! Pretty accurate.
HOW WOULD I KNOW?? THAT THIS COULD BE MY FAAAAATE
💜
It was an awesome time when people could express through music in stead of burning down cities. A good protest song, or a good song expressing disillusionment is millions of times more effective than lawlessness. I love this band and love these songs!
I love all those songs
entire album was a masterpiece. fantastic album
Kevin Gordon yes!
Totally underrated.
Agree!
couldn't agree more!
some of the songs are " MEhhhhhh " But there are some really good songs also . Still prefer Alice in Chains unplugged !
This was the last cassette i ever bought. 1997. I had a 79 firebird driving to trade school...it had a classic alpine cassette player..
79 camaro myself
And 1979 is when Travis was born ❤
wonderful description of The Way Things Were...miss this time!!!!
Wow. There is a movie in your scenario. Luv it.
77 firebird
I remember when this hit it rocked then and still does I'm 57.
It never quit man
59
I used to listen to this in my car, all of the time. My 6 year old son did not understand why he was singing about a "Chef In The Room".😁. That little boy is the father of 2 now. God, I feel old.
You're NOT!!!
Omg that’s hilarious
The che-ef in the ROOM! 😁😅

True. Their solo in Touch Peel and Stand is top notch acoustic
I have songs I can only play on an acoustic guitar and some I can only play on an electric.
Is difficult to play shelf in the room?
Fuxk ....the transfer of cords, sound differential takeover( esp @ the end) , these guys n Staind have somebgood shit!
So underrated. I can't believe this album is so absolutely amazing as it is. So seldom is every song so damn good as in this album.
Totally agree
Keep sharing spred the dopness that is Travis
My favorite album. Of most all times. I'm here now
My favorite album. Of most all times. I'm here now
Some might say the album is.. Whimsical
I'm trying to teach myself this on guitar. In 2022. At 44 years old. One of my favorite songs from the 90s. Hoping Travis is doing well.
He's not. Prison and meth addiction.
Well last year they released a new album and he's completely clean of everything
@@Trash_F--k wow! where can i listen to the new album?

dang dude i couldn't agree more .i skipped work to see these guys play for free at a newbury comics.what a better time in life

I'm TOTALLY there with you
The future is better now than ever it was before
Who’s here in 2021 missing the 90s?
More simple, better times.

@@stephanielundquist1675 I honestly think Travis's case is "The saddest and biggest waste of a talent in musical history " 😢🖤
This song brings back summer drives in the late 90’s...
I just discovered them on Spotify and I'm obsessed. TRULY A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!
Have they taken a lot of their stuff down?
Form your own business of unpublished masterpieces for us to stay and remember I love you 💋❤️ hartily but I'm still always here for the kids and mysic. Get to the moon in a few minutes and then go back. 😂🎉❤
Beautiful song by an incredibly talented band. Days Of The New were so massively underrated
Prodigy remade smack my bitch up at the same time. Roughly. Really turned on the dom sub culture. I never got that. I need to kill or want to fuck. No in between.
Just discovered this band a few days ago! I can't believe they've never crossed my radar before. Love their sound. Im 32
Really one of the best bands in decades. It's not just the composition...recording quality is there. Days of the New are wonderful to listen to.
The lead singer was on one of the earlier seasons of Intervention. They had just hit it big so that kinda messed them up. He went from opening for Metallica to being homeless.
I miss music videos like this.
Omg-Mf! Me 2!!!
NaKeisha Brown

HELL YEAH,takes a Soldia 2deal w this world clean!! #TheNeedleLieS
I wanna steal your quote couldn't say it better if i tried
I am now! 15 years and the rest of my life to go! I did enough in the 90's to kill an entire continent. No more toe on the trigger! Keep strong and Amen!

Still brings a tear all these years later
i love the song it was different. very talented artists.
Travis if your listening, your musical talent is incredible and we hope youre doing well!
Life was never the same for anyone after this dropped. The world changed. It was all over.
Badass acoustics rarely find original young bands like them.
Hands down one of the best bands besides AIC's that came out of the 90s.

Do you know of any more music that has this type of sound? I mean like an open D, acoustic sound with repetitive riffs. I really want more music like this.

You need to listen to Travis Meeks and The Doors do The End.
I think of Travis at least twice a week... I hope, so hard, that he comes back to us...
I know this shelf. And the room. I've experienced what he's singing about. In that room. With the shelf.
Yeah! Me too....
❤ Love to yall. ❤
Just love his voice...it's such a smooth sultry sounds and the band has the metal accuostic sounds that just make it so much better than ever.

No kidding im from the coast.. keesler is over in biloxi aswell
Funny how an acoustic band sounded even heavier than some of the electric bands from that era. Great song, great band.
Even heavier, you said it well!
its called heavy bass track lol
its called grunge
Man, this album was so unique, it's hard to this day to put it into a defined genre. Hard ass lyrics, gorgeous down-tuned sound-layering, and the vocals... wow!
I picked this album up, back when it came out, and the next 2 albums as they dropped.
Years later, I'm at a party, and this dude picks up an acoustic and starts playing a perfect rendition of their work... I was in awe...jaw on the floor.
We turned off the Mudvayne playlist we had running in the next room and let his sound ring out throughout the house... it was incredible, and while his playing was excellent in all respects...

@"Marc Poirier" ... no... it's not. Just leave it at that.
One hit wonders do not a great band make....
This song popped in my head for no reason today. I remember I played this album for almost a month straight.
Same here for me, today. I feel bad that I forget because I absolutely love this song; as well as this album ❤
Days of the new is the most under appreciated band of all time someone’s gotta say it🏃➡️🏃➡️🏃➡️
days of the new i love this song
I'm 50 and love their tunes....haven't heard this one in years.
This was one of the most incredible albums. Here I am, still listening to this track some 20 years after the album dropped and still it's one of my faves ever.
Never gets old
No matter what happend...Grunge will *NEVER* die dudes

58. after all the 1st wave punk....early 80s, I got totally hooked on these guys and others same. Since then I've seen Travis twice; man he looked Fed. up on drugs....bad. That last time was Tampa 2006 - ish. Apparently this is Travis' official new Tube Channel "Maestro Music".
I was a freshman in high school and when this album came out-remember when they were on the cover of Teen People??-and this song stays with me till this day. The musicianship on this record is incredible and Travis’s voice is like no other’s. It’s a shame that the band had such a short time to shine; they were really something special.
I agree with you.
Ditto!!
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. This reminds me of being a kid going through all my older brothers cd's. I would sneak into his room and listen to his music when he wasn't home lol. Eventually he just let me borrow what i wanted anyway. One of my best memories:) Great music.
90's, the era of many godly voices.
Not only was his voice one of the most powerful in the grunge world but his guitar playing is at the top as well.
I don’t understand what this song is about, but still love the sounds. Something about a shelf that holds him and lets him know what to listen for.. idfk
Travis will be back. Better than ever. Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion. Dude has had issues yes. We all have. Support the ones who never give up. He will rise again. Believe that.
agree!!
I really hope so . Their music still holds up to this day :)
+Tony Begley the red album? Fantastic.
***** yes , red album is great!!
can't keep a good man down!
I still remember being blown completely away by this awesome song (and the entire album in general) when I first heard it.
I really thought that these guys were destined for greatness when they first came out... sadly though, time would prove me wrong.
I grew up around these guys in Indiana. There music captured that time at home and what growing up in Indiana felt like then in the 90's . Everytime I hear them on the radio or some show, not matter where I'm at or what I'm going I'm that 16year old pot head, rainbow gathering going hippie skater kid again.
Days is literally the best...C'mon Travis. You got it...move it forward brother.
Awesome.
This band is so underrated!
I love you, Travis. Never forget that we are gods trapped in the bodies of animals. All you have to do is keep breathing...just keep breathing and you've won the game.
Awesome how they capture the mood of depression in this song perfectly.
I thought the same thing....I love to sing this song
Doug Prishpreed gotta remember he was teenager when he our this out, already had developed a drug issue.so yes it wasn't to hard to capture his exact mood..
Doug Prishpreed That was just the way of generation X

This song is not about depression, its about being oppressed, and bullied and resisting what they are trying to shove in your face,this song has no depression in the message
Man this song is what immediately made me into a fan!! I'm 45yo today, and while I love many of their songs, this one, and the downtown song is what truly amazed me. Travis may have had his struggles but who in life doesn't. What a wonderful voice from back in the 90s when music was the best era!!!!
I absolutely love Days of the New. They have been a favorite band of mine for a really long time.
Under rated.Draws me in.I love it.Old.But,index in.
Such a great song.
I was a junior in high school going into my senior year.. Was higher than a kite doing meth smoking weed and fighting with my parents all the time and you guys came along and changed everything in my life. There are no words for me to say that could even begin to describe what this album did in my life... You guys carried me through the next 5 years of my life.... Love y'all
Congrats on sobriety brother
No, YOU did it! I love hearing recovery stories. Bless you sir
How was it legal to have this much positively amazing hair in one band?!??!!??!
I just discovered this band and I love how he harmonizes with himself so much
The guitar solo on this song is a damn clinic on tasteful brevity.
it was one of my best friends that taught him that many years ago
If the mallinials would just set down and listen to our music ,,, they would be blown away and also understand the world growing !!!!
such a good riff
fasho
As a 60 plus year old individual, with a very wide range of Music taste and preference ... I can safely say these guys were very underrated.
I am amazed by the talent possessed by these young men back during that time, and still do even to this day. 😎
'90's grunge and post-grunge music totally rules!!
Such a handsome man, great song
The talent here is freaking UNBELIEVABLE and once again drugs destroy
This is one of those songs I love just as much as I did on the first listen! So freaking good. 🤘 The whole CD on endless repeat back in the day got me thru one of those hide in the closet (everybody's watching me) LSD trips. Something about Travis' voice just got in between my brain cells and stuck there. Hard to explain but it's almost like the remembering of a smell that makes it so vivid when I hear this song STILL so many years later.
Miss this time of my life...56 and still rocking 60s 70s 80s 90s and beyond......
Me, too. Turned 56 this year. How did the years go by so fast? I'm a rocking Grandma now.
The guitars on this track are just incredible
I was directed here from an article abt 'yarling'.
idc. I like this.
I wish I would’ve grew up with this music it’s so much more unique and just real and raw compared to my generations music
I wholeheartedly agree with you brother🤘🤘🤘
How old are you ?

This whole album was Awesome !! This group should have got Top Recognition !!
The whole album is a HUGE MASTERPIECE 🎸😻
The key is so distant
I've opened doors
Know when to listen
Know what to listen for (yeah)
The shelf in the room
Has been the way of holding me
And letting me stay
Kick me out
Let me go
I don't belong here no more
A releasing sense of getting tired
Hold myself
I can't hold myself
The shelf in the room
Has been so true
I can hide in
The shelf in the room
Holding out
Never hold in
Holding out
Never hold
Know when to listen
Know what to listen for
Believe in resistance
Don't let them tell you anymore
Is there anyway/no
To get away/no
Ask myself
While I stay inside
The key is so distant
I've closed my doors
The shelf in the room
Is rain waiting to pour
Thanks man.
The video gives the same colors as the album
Travis wish you would of show up at concert in 2001 Still love you music
Ain't listened to this song in years. Never forgot, just a random moment brought me here from days gone by. I miss these days
Man this is still a kick ass song
THIS SONG KEPT ME ALIVE IN JAIL.
LONG, HARD STORY!!
Tell us
Glad you're out of it.
Same here.
I love you all talking about listening to this in 98 when you were 17. I was 37 and wore this sucker out
My top ten albums of the 90's! I just wish Travis Meeks kept his shit together! What a talent!
Saw them in 2009 at 8 seconds saloon in Indiana. One of the best concerts I've ever been too
One of the greatest bands in the 90s, plus I always loved acoustic music. I wish Travis would bring this band back, it would be great to see them live.

Travis and Days of the new is back togather and touring
man, 8 years ago lol. That was a long time ago, but still listening to it.
This band should have been so much bigger than they were, nearly 20 years on and still 1 of my favourite bands.
I was blown away to know I haven't heard such soul moving music
90s, oh yeah what a great time to live.
I used to be obsessed with this album.
Great to have seen them live. Travis has had a rough life wish things were better for him. At the concert I saw him on dear Lord.
These guys jam, that acoustic guitar sounds so clean, I love it every time I heard this song!!!!
Time to excite everyone here THIS BAND HAS GOTTEN BACK TOGETHER!!!!
Yep, the entire original band is back together for a summer tour, with an EP hopefully to be released this fall.
And it's all over as of Sep 6....Travis's addiction reared it's ugly head again. He needs some serious help...such a shame.
Dude can't stay off meth and out of jail long enough to create new music
Omg I got so excited till I scrolled to the third comment..
Not the entire original band just saying
Home town band...I loved this album... acoustic metal
Travis Meeks has been through hell & back . Hoping for better days for you Travis ! From ALL of your Fan's !
I still can't believe that this voice came from a 17 year old 🤯.
Yeah man it's crazy when you think about it. It's a shame he didn't progress even more cause if he was like that at 17 you can only imagine
@@nylontusk1289 drug addiction
