    Man they were incredible. Them and Alice in Chains had their own unique sounds that were different than the other 90's bands. You would recognize them right away, DOTN was easily one of the 5 best 90's bands.

      I love alice but they were heavily influenced by sabbath (not a bad thing). Travis was/is unique to himself. A true visionary.

    For all the jackasses who think drugs took travis' talent are idiots. He's bi-polar and has debilitating social anxiety. I know this cause he used to live on and off w/me when he came to town. And like most ppl with mental illness, they turn to drugs. Best memory, he sat in my front passenger seat and played my favorite songs that he's written while I drove him to run errands. It rocked! So did the new shit he played me and that was in 2012-ish? He was trying to clean up then so I'm hoping he made it. Much love Travis!

    For Anyone wanting to know the Intro (Not Orch of the Medium) jam before the actual song its called "Around The World" and was written by Todd. Todd Re-Recorded it for the Unreleased Tantric album (Tantric III) it's the Same tune just with lyrics and a chorus added. Shame for what one of my biggest childhood musical masterminds has become.
