'Bodies' got all the hype and press, but, in my book, 'Tear Away' will always be the pinnacle of Drowning Pool's contribution to music. Love this song!
Dave was an amazing vocalist...dark and personal! My late aunt bought me the "Sinner" album when I was in High School...Sadly she didn't make it...to know how it changed my life\m/
This has to be not only the most underrated metal song of the early 2000s but the most underrated in general. Melodic notes mixed with metal screams are just a sweet spot to the soul man.
It's funny how Bodies is still actively played in metal pubs/bars, but this song and the album in general fails to get noticed anywhere near as much as it deserves to be. There will never be another Sinner.
Okay valid point, but Slipknot have made it, Drowning Pool is still growing so why diss Ryan for carrying on Drowning pool if he can bring forward them and still do what Dave was bringing to metal, Even if Dave is not here to witness it, So I guess my valid point is that Dave legacy is living through Drowning pool with Ryan and the rest of the band, like Slipknot is carrying on and living the legacy of paul.
They are living the legacy because this was their first album without Gray and he was a key member and co-founder of the band. It's the same with Slayer and Jeff Hanneman, Avenged Sevenfold and The Revand etc.
It's got literally everything you could ever want. A quieter distorted intro to grab your attention, an explosion of metal right after that, killer verses and choruses, then that really atmospheric solo part. It's a masterpiece.
The Guitar solo at around 3:00, literally brought tears to my eyes and made me feel that warm tingle run down my neck and back. My spirit for a moment felt as though the guitarist was channeling some divine energy that he transformed into Audio form, and the way he plays it's looks that way to me the way he tilts his head and body upwards and moves.. Beautiful.
@@kingoftheverticaldiet1108 Right on brother, extremely glad I'm not the only one. The philosopher Kant called music " The quickening art", There is an absolutely amazing little video related to this here on RUclips called " Alive Inside: a story of Music & memory featurette. It's about this cool old cat named Henry who has become neglected and lost in his own mind and when he hears his Music he comes back from the abyss and is alive and himself again. It's only around 6 mins long bro, please check it out if ya can.
@@amritcheema8856 yea brother, these wonderful songs are like the artists whole life and soul transmuted Into musical form so they can share themselves with us Forever even after they leave this earth.
I don't know about anyone else but this song doesn't sound egotistical at all. It sounds (at least to me) like he was a very happy and trusting person at one point in his life but he was crush and betrayed by people he thought were his friends leaving him only to care for himself. He realized that being overly trusting gets you no where and the only person he needs to care about is himself. Sadly I know how that feels, I bet i'm not the only person who has.
you're right mate.ive pondered a lot bout how he felt bout this song,came to the conclusion that he realized the ultimate truth of life: aint no-one backing you up.
I've had friends who I have spent time with every day for two weeks turn around one day and say "fuck off, we don't want you here." I ask why, but they just say "because we don't like you, faggot."
I’m here in 2024, almost 45 years old, metal head for over 36 years, with light rock younger from older generation. I still listen to Drowning Pool to this day, all the material to singers, it all just kicks ass. Appreciate your music. Will listen tell into the grave, and I’m pretty healthy, so I’ll be listening for another 30-40 years 👍
I really hate that he died. That album was so glorious. Every song on that album was so perfect and amazing to me. I first heard the Sinner album as a kid and now years later as an adult I still find myself coming back to that amazing masterpiece. That album will always remain as one of my all time favorites. I just wish he released more music before his death. :(
Dave was a great I honestly believe if they stayed together they could have been one of the greatest, now drowning pool is one of those bands with one good album. But the sinner album is great. I'd say right up there with Slipknot's self tiled album
Barricade2091 -i totally agree!! Many good songs on the album... Tear Away, Bodies, Sinner. One of the few CDs u could listen to all the way thru with no skips
Just goes to show how opposite this songs chorus was in regards to Dave, his final wishes were to buy his parents a home, and after his passing the funds he secured was able to buy his parents a home, just like he wished. A true legend and such a solid character in the game of life, respect Dave, rest in peace
@@waldeezee870 such a hard question since it changes all the time but if i had to pick my 10 favorite right now plush - stone temple pilots lovesong - the cure take a picture - filter today - the smashing pumpkins how to disappear completely - radiohead tear away - drowning pool on melancholy hill - gorillaz hurt - nine inch nails black hole sun - soundgarden another space song - failure there’s just too many so here are some more time - pink floyd i’m going to do it - giles corey digital bath - deftones the dock of the bay - otis redding crazy - gnarles barkley
This song speaks to me on such a deep level. I used to be a trusting person who cared a lot about others. But after being treated badly by people so many times, I decided it's best to to just stick this life out alone. In a weird way, it's a liberating feeling.
I relate to this song hits so hard. I'm alone even I've friends they do not understand my musical taste and they judge it. So I rather be alone in my own world. And I ❤girls! I've had a crush when I was Younger there was a girl we were very good friends she accepted me as I was when no one did. Later on I've started to have feelings about her. But she didn't felt anything similar only friendship! She broke my heart but later on I realized she wasn't the one for me. So now I seek for my❤one. I believe in Jesus Christ but still I❤allkinds of music even non Christian like "Drowning Pool&Korn,Slipknot,Gojira,Meshuggah,Mastodon,Devin Townsend,Strapping Young Lad etc...
bro i'm going through the same shit... I hold my tongue so fucking much, but when I let loose i'm the fucking bad guy. I'm really a hurtful person because of all of my trauma. I literally don't bother a soul but people always wanna come at me sideways. I gotta pray just to not end up losing my shit.
It really sucks that Dave died so young Drowning Pool would have been one of the biggest bands around if he was alive. Such a great talent lost to the world.
Yeah sad story he was the original lead singer. Since then they have been through a couple lead singers. Not sure where they are now but I did hear that one that Chris daughtry was even to become the replacement but obviously he didn't take it.
This song always makes me so sad because to feel what he’s saying in this song is a sad and lonely place to be. I interpret it as being so lost being so hurt in turn becoming so depressed and numb that no one else matters anymore. It’s a sad place to be and I feel that’s how Dave felt I mean to me you can see it in his eyes. Metal music is real and raw. These guys say what they feel. Rest In Peace Dave. You will always be one of my favorites!
My worst days of the year, I always listen to this song. When my girlfriend leaves me or a friend betrays me, this is my go-to song. So I think you're right
Sinner will always be one of my all-time favorite albums. Dave's voice was angelic. Losing him was the end of the Drowning Pool I fell in love with unfortunately. It's like if David Draiman or Serj Tankian or Corey Taylor died, and the bands replaced them with anybody else it just wouldn't be right. If Linkin Park tries to find a new singer it won't be Linkin Park, like the magic is gone. Dave was one of those irreplaceable ones too.
Seen them with SevenDust right after 9-11 happened, radio stations wouldn't play Bodies for sometime after that but it was insane live as people literally hit the floor... Rip Dave \m/
Unfortunately, Dave Williams passed away. I'm a grown ass man, and my heart is broken to this day. They tried with a new vocalist, but I personally wasn't with it. I tried to get into it. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that was the end of DP.
I'm 14 years old, and Frankly I love rock, I'm new to Drowning Pool, Because this video came out around the same time I was born. But I love the music that they put out, and I just want to say that this band had some amazing music.
This song was very cathartic to me. I listened to it a lot on my last deployment in 2010 Afghanistan. I care deeply about my men, family and human life in general. When this song came on our internal speaker on the truck it really helped pacify negative thoughts about things that happened. It wasn't that I didn't really care, but the song somehow helped me process the many thoughts I had about the things I really cared deeply about.
you aren’t a hero buddy, you got deployed and used by your super power nation for false agendas harming poor civilians in their dystopia. people have woken up to you all
It's not one of the most technically impressive solos ever. However, it's definitely atmospheric and complements the song perfectly, and sometimes that's the most important part.
16 year old me would wait by the radio and be ready to hit record when this song came on just because I loved that guitar interlude so much. I still do to this day
I remember Wrestle mania 18, saw drowning pool live, last time I saw Dave Williams perform, never will forget that night back in 2002, nothing will ever beat the late 90s- early 00s
I'm tearing away Pieces are falling, I can't seem to make them stay You run away Faster and faster, You can't seem to get away Break Hope there's a reason For questions unanswered I just don't see everything Yes, I'm inside you Tell me how does it feel To feel like this Just like I do I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone Do I really want this Sometimes I scare myself I just can't let it go Can you believe it Everything happens for reasons I just don't know I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone or anything but me Goddamn I love me I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone or anything I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone
I’ll never forget waiting to go in the Skydome for Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto and this being one of the theme songs was playing outside while people were filing into the building.
I heard this the first time on AFN in the late '90's before I went back Stateside. My wife was already in the States by then. She turned me onto them. I eas a "head banger" she was a tall black chick. I miss her a lot since she passed away.😢
Been sober since Feb 1, 2012 now. Heroin coke and everything else. Tools music has been a huge aid in recovery and just great memories. Wrote a book called A Walk in His Shoes and published it right after my dad passed away. I’m sure he would be happy that I’ve never looked back.
I love this song and I'm a 62 year old female. I love the vibe and the way that these guys aren't afraid to throw this song right into everyone's f'ing face!!
@@luminousfortune it still is the norm, you're acting like every kid in existence in the 90's was a metalhead. Also nice cherry picking a singular playlist of mine with only rap in it and ignoring all the punk and metal ones. Average boomer thing to do I guess, point proven
This is how addicts feel most of the time. They dig themselves into a hole while burning the bridges with their friends and families. When they finally hit rock bottom, there is nobody left to help pull them out so they lash out and blame everyone but themselves. Some of Aaron Lewis' lyrics were like this, and he finally pushed his ego away enough to find out everyone still loved him. They were just waiting on him to start helping himself.
This isn't the first drowning pool song I was introduced to but it was the first one I've taken the time to actually listen to, this song is my most favorite on the sinner album. I was on my way to a cbat (Community based acute treatment) 3 years ago when I first heard this song, when I finally got home after 2 weeks I listened to this song a lot and then I listened to every song on sinner. I never thought that I would have liked every song on sinner, but I did. Edit: 2024, I'm 17 and still jamming to this. Time goes by fast, it feels like yesterday when I discovered the song. Every time I listen I'm hit with a wave of nostalgia, I wish I could go back, but that's not possible. I'm grateful for this song and I'm grateful to Dave Williams for putting out this masterpiece before he passed. Rest In peace Dave Williams, though I wasn't alive during the time, the legacy you left behind will always have a place in my heart 💙.
BLAZING waffle56 Hm, I dunno if I would go that far. They could have been far better than they wound up though, its a shame the guy couldn't put off dying for a few more albums.
Well... I had a really interesting story but go away anyways. Tis how I saved myself. Whoa, I like how I don't put as much effort into sh & my comment is way shorter 😁. I mean, I'm a female & just like to communicate my emos. I mean damn.
Something told me to go back to the song and remember the good times that this band has been a big influence in my life. Thank you Dave. Rest easy up there.
Underrated? They were huge in the early 2000s. Ryan McCombs had a tough act to follow. He was heavily disrespected even though he kept this band alive for the better part of ten years but now we finally get new Soil which I prefer.
RIP Dave 1 album is all it took to die a legend and is still to this day one of the most iconic albums ever sinner was a masterpiece full of classics Bodies is still easily one of the most recognizable and again iconic songs in rock history
Brings back memories for all of us. For me, I first watched this music video on MTV Europe around 2002. I was in a hostel with one guy from Mexico City, one guy from Japan, and myself from Florida. This song broke the awkward silence as we didn't speak the same languages. I just remember we were sitting on bean bag chairs and there was nothing else in the room or on the walls except for a small TV on a tiny table. Good memories looking back, but I was broke as hell the whole time.

@@_Roasted_Marshmallowy'all are both right, the harsh lesson of what happens when you give too much of yourself away, and the self affirmation for trying to will oneself out of the pit of sickness.
20 years later and I still get chills, 4 fantastic musicians in perfect harmony but one man stands out. Dave was an absolute giant, a talent that rarely comes along RIP DAVE “STAGE” WILLIAMS
'Bodies' got all the hype and press, but, in my book, 'Tear Away' will always be the pinnacle of Drowning Pool's contribution to music. Love this song!
For sure! Used to see these guys in Dallas alot long before they were famous, and this was the song that got the place rocking!
I agree with you, full on!
You’re wrong man Bodies is the cherry on top of the Drowning pool ice cream.
Well is ok. Is only your opinion. So yeah no big deal.
Bodies showed their commercial appeal, Tear Away showed what they could accomplish musically.
RIP Dave. Drowning Pool was never the same after you left us.
What you listen to nowadays
Ryan does a hell of a job filling in, but I can only imagine how Drowning Pool would have been if Dave was still around.
@@wrifraffshame his heart never got checked before it was too late

Rock in God's paradise
This has to be not only the most underrated metal song of the early 2000s but the most underrated in general. Melodic notes mixed with metal screams are just a sweet spot to the soul man.
Well they had this on so many movies even on dragon ball z films when dragon ball was at its peak
Especially the solo
They had style 2 man, had it all
this is hard rock
It's funny how Bodies is still actively played in metal pubs/bars, but this song and the album in general fails to get noticed anywhere near as much as it deserves to be. There will never be another Sinner.
This song really needs to get played more on the radio. This song still SLAYS even after 21 years!!! Rest In Peace 🙏 Dave Williams. 🎸🥁🎙️
I agree
This band had so much potential. They would still be tearing it up today. RIP Dave.
"Tearing it up" *BADUM TSS*
Agree I’ve often thought of how big they would’ve been crazy!
OMG they had SO much potential.

I met Dave once. Was genuinely a cool dude to talk with. Long live drowning pool 🤘🏽
This that millennial angst we were feeling in the early 2000s. 37 now and I still know the words. Still slaps!🤘🏿
💯%. *…AND IT’S BACK!!!!* Well, it’s been back, actually… *Since 2018.*
If Dave was alive this band would be succesful as Slipknot and Disturbed.
Slipknot died when Paul Grey died, Actually Slipknot died in 1994 when they introduce that shit that no one can understand when Corey screams
Are you kidding me ? xD The Gray Chapter is a masterpiece. Slipknot show that they are still on top level even without Paul and Joey.
Okay valid point, but Slipknot have made it, Drowning Pool is still growing so why diss Ryan for carrying on Drowning pool if he can bring forward them and still do what Dave was bringing to metal, Even if Dave is not here to witness it, So I guess my valid point is that Dave legacy is living through Drowning pool with Ryan and the rest of the band, like Slipknot is carrying on and living the legacy of paul.
They are living the legacy because this was their first album without Gray and he was a key member and co-founder of the band. It's the same with Slayer and Jeff Hanneman, Avenged Sevenfold and The Revand etc.
Ryan left the band.. now it's up to Jasen Moreno to carry on the legacy. Ryan's back where he belongs in SOiL.
This is unquestionably Drowning Pool's best song.
This and Sinner.
It's got literally everything you could ever want. A quieter distorted intro to grab your attention, an explosion of metal right after that, killer verses and choruses, then that really atmospheric solo part. It's a masterpiece.
AD VICTORIUM
Heroes Sleeping Is Fire
For me this with All Over me and Sermon. And every song of Sinner album cold be considered a masterpiece
Just here to say RIP Dave. Your legacy in music will carry on.
One of my favorite songs! RIP Dave! Miss him 😔

When this song came on our internal speaker on the truck it really helped pacify negative thoughts about things that happened. It wasn't that I didn't really care, but the song somehow helped me process the many thoughts I had about the things I really cared deeply about.
Very well put
you aren’t a hero buddy, you got deployed and used by your super power nation for false agendas harming poor civilians in their dystopia. people have woken up to you all
A message to the current and future generations: never let this song die
you got it! (born in 2000)
The song is inmortal by itself man 🤟🖤
Let them kids know true music
I’m 18 and this is a banger
@@saiko_oroalready do
Probably one of the best guitar solos i've ever heard in my whole life
SO POWERFUL, CHILLS
It's not one of the most technically impressive solos ever. However, it's definitely atmospheric and complements the song perfectly, and sometimes that's the most important part.
100% emotion
Lies again? Serie A Leader True Anal
Check out the outro Solo to "Me Wise Magic" by Van Halen. That gives me chills
He had such an amazing voice. I wish I could hear what they would sound like today. RIP Dave.
Yeah, definitely... RIP
R.I.P. to Lead Singer Dave Williams 🤘🏻✝️ The band is still firing tho! Sure he loves it.
R.I.P. Dave...You will always be in our hearts :/
How did he die?
Suleidys Tellez heart disease..
***** Erm...this was YEARS ago that this happened.
***** Yes it was in 2002 :- (
Milt Zec amen brother
Song is 20 years old and still has great meaning to this day.
Masterpiece is immortal. Great band and great loos to the music world.
Shits just as old as me man
Hear ya 🎶🎶🎶
Don’t make them like they use too!!
This song will be remembered by present and future generations to come, no doubt about that.
this song became a part of my life ill never forget RIP Dave, Livelong Drowning pool 🤘
2:53 has always been my favorite part of the song, just the scream and the somewhat silence, and then "God damn I love me" with an epic solo.
Same
So many years later and this is still my anthem.
Rest in paradise Dave.
16 year old me would wait by the radio and be ready to hit record when this song came on just because I loved that guitar interlude so much. I still do to this day
I'm 22, been listening to them for 4 years and still always love the way it makes me feel - like I can win against anything
I remember Wrestle mania 18, saw drowning pool live, last time I saw Dave Williams perform, never will forget that night back in 2002, nothing will ever beat the late 90s- early 00s
I'm tearing away
Pieces are falling,
I can't seem to make them stay
You run away
Faster and faster,
You can't seem to get away
Break
Hope there's a reason
For questions unanswered
I just don't see everything
Yes, I'm inside you
Tell me how does it feel
To feel like this
Just like I do
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
Do I really want this
Sometimes I scare myself
I just can't let it go
Can you believe it
Everything happens for reasons
I just don't know
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
or anything but me
Goddamn I love me
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone or anything
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
Narcissism.
I remember nice Multi mirrors in J.C. Penny's
This is what addiction does to you. He realizes it about himself. This is just his way of voicing his “realization”. Powerful song.
@@jamiesloan7259 it's about relationships mate
@@Zartek878 Very well could be.
I’ll never forget waiting to go in the Skydome for Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto and this being one of the theme songs was playing outside while people were filing into the building.
I heard this the first time on AFN in the late '90's before I went back Stateside. My wife was already in the States by then. She turned me onto them. I eas a "head banger" she was a tall black chick. I miss her a lot since she passed away.😢
that guitar solo is legit the sickest I heared.
for me as well! best part of the song, pure eargasm 🎆🚀🌟
God dam he is sick so wicked
Listen to pink floyd - comfortably numb guitar solo. You're welcome
I enjoy this song more now, than when it came out.
And I really, really loved it when it came out. Lol.
It still gives me goose bumps after 10 years, and I'm not / was not even into rock/metal.
I just appreciate good music and talent.
Dave Williams has been long dead but his voice and body of work is timeless. R.I.P to a legend gone way too soon.
I was a freshman in high school when this came out. Some years later still banging my head to this sweet tune! R.I.P
Been sober since Feb 1, 2012 now. Heroin coke and everything else. Tools music has been a huge aid in recovery and just great memories. Wrote a book called A Walk in His Shoes and published it right after my dad passed away. I’m sure he would be happy that I’ve never looked back.
3:01 the best part. The guitar solo. ;)
The Metal gods of rock took you guys too soon my old friends. You and DBD will be missed forever as your Legends will live on.
Drowning pools “sinner “ album has to be up there with meteora, LD50 and other best nu metal albums it’s such a gem
I love this song and I'm a 62 year old female. I love the vibe and the way that these guys aren't afraid to throw this song right into everyone's f'ing face!!
THIS WAS SUCH A BANGER GROWING UP HOLY SHIT
🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀 Always has been
Folks, I'm not saying it's not currently a banger. I'm simply acknowledging how much of A FUCKIN BANGER THIS WAS GROWING UP THATS ALL
@@luminousfortune cringe
@@luminousfortune it still is the norm, you're acting like every kid in existence in the 90's was a metalhead. Also nice cherry picking a singular playlist of mine with only rap in it and ignoring all the punk and metal ones. Average boomer thing to do I guess, point proven
The fact that he died at age 30 seems more depressing now that I'm older
same bro
No doubt it really shows how this man didn't get to even enjoy his own success.
Ikr :(
@andrew rosecrans indeed
I couldn't believe it when I heard. They announced on the radio on my way to work.
This band would have been one of the BADDEST bands ever if R.I.P.
This is how addicts feel most of the time. They dig themselves into a hole while burning the bridges with their friends and families. When they finally hit rock bottom, there is nobody left to help pull them out so they lash out and blame everyone but themselves. Some of Aaron Lewis' lyrics were like this, and he finally pushed his ego away enough to find out everyone still loved him. They were just waiting on him to start helping himself.
This is one of those songs that you could listen to over & over again & it'll never get old! RIP Dave!🎸🤘
This was the first rock band I heard, thank you Drowning Pool
it's whatever you like
Artur Castro Same.
*metal
Mine too
Yeah, this song got me into rock and roll.
R. I. P Dave but ur is still on my mind, 2000 era when metallic music all over the head...
Absolute Killer track with what has to be one of the best intros and riffs of all time!
This isn't the first drowning pool song I was introduced to but it was the first one I've taken the time to actually listen to, this song is my most favorite on the sinner album. I was on my way to a cbat (Community based acute treatment) 3 years ago when I first heard this song, when I finally got home after 2 weeks I listened to this song a lot and then I listened to every song on sinner. I never thought that I would have liked every song on sinner, but I did.
Edit: 2024, I'm 17 and still jamming to this. Time goes by fast, it feels like yesterday when I discovered the song. Every time I listen I'm hit with a wave of nostalgia, I wish I could go back, but that's not possible. I'm grateful for this song and I'm grateful to Dave Williams for putting out this masterpiece before he passed. Rest In peace Dave Williams, though I wasn't alive during the time, the legacy you left behind will always have a place in my heart 💙.
This Band died once Dave died ( RIP )
+ChanceOfOne04 (Matt Beck) Yeah, but they suck now.
+Asskickingman TCBY They were like the Pantera that never got to be
BLAZING waffle56 Hm, I dunno if I would go that far. They could have been far better than they wound up though, its a shame the guy couldn't put off dying for a few more albums.
Asskickingman TCBY True but he could reach those Phil screams so who knows
+Dominic Williams yeah :(
Rip son… found a list of your favorite songs. You and your pain… I’m sorry, I tried to help. Love you and forever in my heart. Heaths mom- forever 25
So sorry for your loss. ❤️
Daves stage presence, charisma was unmatched. Best of us always go early, Rest in Peace Dave "The Scene"
*"No one else will 'EVER' care about me more than me..."*
🖤💔🖤💔
🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
No i care about you
Well... I had a really interesting story but go away anyways. Tis how I saved myself. Whoa, I like how I don't put as much effort into sh & my comment is way shorter 😁. I mean, I'm a female & just like to communicate my emos. I mean damn.
True.
Didn't ask
"And Now, Wrestlemania X8, the showcase of the immortals"😎
Something told me to go back to the song and remember the good times that this band has been a big influence in my life. Thank you Dave. Rest easy up there.
2024 anyone 😊
🫡
For sure, when u would describe nu Metal, than this! But Korn die also good job😅
Yes😱
🤝🤝
Hell yeah
Their genre is a bridging gap between softer genres of rock and psychedelic and heavier genres of metal and death metal and they were good at it
I hope u didn't say psychedelic smh
this is such an underrated band, they really don't get the love they deserve
Underrated? They were huge in the early 2000s. Ryan McCombs had a tough act to follow. He was heavily disrespected even though he kept this band alive for the better part of ten years but now we finally get new Soil which I prefer.
Primer 55
@@kirkmbutterfield I used to tour with Primer 55 every other year for about 6 years.
RIP Dave 1 album is all it took to die a legend and is still to this day one of the most iconic albums ever sinner was a masterpiece full of classics Bodies is still easily one of the most recognizable and again iconic songs in rock history
This song right now is stopping me from hurting myself let’s go
So sad that he died, drowning pool also died when he died
I didn't know he died, I thought the band broke up. I'm sad for him, I'm sad for them.
wait wtf, when did he die?
@@aziremperorofthesands6369 August 14 2002. At the age of 30.

Dave Williams mom was a substitute teacher in my school district in texas, she would talk to the whole class about him . Rip Dave Williams
This song has held up the test of time and through the ages. It holds the truest it ever has today.
This is real music, not like some shits we hear today.
+Bruce Wayne Bruce wayne , an autograph please !

Unknown Artist You GodDamn right.
I wish I could give you one.
+Unknown Artist I couldn't agree more our music today is fucking crap af
Brings back memories for all of us. For me, I first watched this music video on MTV Europe around 2002. I was in a hostel with one guy from Mexico City, one guy from Japan, and myself from Florida. This song broke the awkward silence as we didn't speak the same languages. I just remember we were sitting on bean bag chairs and there was nothing else in the room or on the walls except for a small TV on a tiny table. Good memories looking back, but I was broke as hell the whole time.
I hate how I hadn't listened to this song..... Thankfully I heard it through Spotify and now I cannot stop...
Dude this band had it and Dave was such a great voice he is truly missed
I was in prison in the UK when he died. Heard it on student radio (Demon FM, Leicester). What a cracking tune this is.
Once this singer passed, so did drowning pool.
He died in Indianapolis :-( It was a bad ass show bunch of us here flipped. Do you kno what song he played LST???? Now that was creepy...
ReGINA Hearld Cain BRYANT
I never knew the details of his death, did he die doing a show?
No after show in hotel or bus he sadly choked on vomit ..
ReGINA Hearld Cain BRYANT
Yuk wat a way to go =(... that sucks
ReGINA Hearld Cain BRYANT DW passed because of a bad heart, unknowingly suffered from cardiomyopathy that wasn't discovered until his autopsy. Found dead in their tour bus while in Manassas, VA.
I had the opportunity to see these guys in concert, and they did not disappoint 🤘🏻
Same 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same! Only once with Dave but seen em 4 times ❤️🔥🤘
God bless you Dave!!! I bet you’re still rocking it in Heaven.
The band will never be the same without Dave Williams. Love this song.
R.I.P Dave still jamming everything in 2021 till i go
Thank you. From San Antonio Tx.
This isn't a song about being selfish, it's about a hard lesson most of us have to learn
It’s actually about him being sick. He died shortly after the making of the first album.
@@_Roasted_Marshmallowy'all are both right, the harsh lesson of what happens when you give too much of yourself away, and the self affirmation for trying to will oneself out of the pit of sickness.
wbat is the lesson

20 years later and I still get chills, 4 fantastic musicians in perfect harmony but one man stands out. Dave was an absolute giant, a talent that rarely comes along RIP DAVE “STAGE” WILLIAMS
