This song basically speaks about how i feel in the society we live in. "They say I look like the living dead They say I can't have much in my head They say my songs are much too slow But they don't know the things I know "
I had no idea that this music existed and a friend turned me on to it and I found what kind of music I was trying to write, was just like this.....and then as I heard more,....and this is about all I listen to!
@@joshuathek it's good, still listening to doom metal but perhaps not as much as when I was 18. Otherwise, living life, there's ups and downs, some dreams came true some didn't etc. la Dee la etc. Thanks for asking! Anything in particular you're asking for?
Great Lyrics, Great Vocal, Classic Vintage Doom . Scott "Wino" Weinrich vocal is captivating and so deep. Dave chandler riffs are pure lifeline, Forever listening joy. They say I look like the living dead They say I can't have much in my head They say my songs are much too slow But they don't know the things I know I know I don't belong And there's nothing I can do I was born too late And I'll never be like you In my life things never change To everybody I seem strange But in my world now something's died So I just stare with these insane eyes
Every time I'm on the street People laugh and point at me They talk about my length of hair And the out of date clothes I wear They say I look like the living dead They say I can't have much in my head They say my songs are much too slow But they don't know the things I know I know I don't belong And there's nothing I can do I was born too late And I'll never be like you In my life things never change To everybody I seem strange But in my world now something's died So I just stare with these insane eyes I know I don't belong And there's nothing that I can do I was born too lte And I'll never be like you
When i was about 16 years old, i remember picking up this cassette album (and i thought it was a christian band, lol) but i fell in love with this album and i would crank the whole album up on my Kenwood cassette stereo player in my car, and it was one of the best times in my life. Awesome songs man
The lyrics are exactly what I think everyday from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep again..."When I walk on the street...people point and look at me....I was born too late....but I'm not like you.....and I don't want to be like you!" I will always be a metalhead for life.....brothers....it is not us who are freaks...it is the rest of the world....my dream is to live in a world where people don't care what you wear,what music you listen,how long your hair is....
"I was born to late and i'll never be like you " fuck yeah , even with short hairs ,the idea will not die !!! we are and we stay, the childrens of doom !!
i just recently discovered this band in the last month or 2 and i think i have listened to them almost every day since.. im totally hooked and addicted.
Itunes recommended me this for Helmet. This song and the bizarre solo halfway through the song is awesome. And his blues like voice goes great with this song.
Chuck Foster truth in the 80's Vitus came to my hometown opening for Black Flag. People booed them, told the "stupid hippies to get off the fuggin' stage" Unfortunately for the mouthpieces in the crowd, 80's-era Henry Rollins was around, and came to their defense on the stage, unleashing a classic and intimidating Rollins Rant on the fuckheads who DARED boo the mighty Saint Vitus!
I guess I was just considering all the metal albums that came out that year. Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, Pleasure to Kill, Somewhere in Time, Peace Sells, etc.
This is my first time hearing St.Vitus and I gotta tell ya.....as a musician....yea i do hear a very heavy Sabbath influence.....but only in the rhythms. Everything else about it is unique to this band. I APPROVE!!!!! I could smoke a fat doobie and jam to this tune without a second thought!!
I'm not dealing with folk calling it "stoner metal" as if to give themselves a persona. It's pure dirty metal. Just old school Doom. Feel like a fucking candle listening to this, just dripping away into the abyss.
It gives me such great pleasure that kids today are growing up today and listening to some of this shit that us old farts were listening to in the 80's..... It is sort of surreal to realize people today actually care.
the beauty in this album is in the emotion that bleeds out of it. both in the lyrics and dave chandler's guitar playing. i don't mind when people misunderstand this album, because that means that they shouldn't be listening to this anyway. and what's up with people saying that they "love doom, but don't like this band"??? this band - and especially this record IS doom. in every sense of the word.
I was just the same like a year ago, I'm a black metaller and I thought doom metal was not for me, but then I changed my mind, thanks to Candlemass mainly. Old school doom is really great but you have to go deep into it. In a way it's the same with BM, it's the spirit that is important. Touches your soul.
My friends gave me a ticket for a Saint Vitus concert for my birthday without knowing anything about metal, and I barely knew them. Luckily they turned out to pretty sweet :D
You have to stay aware of the scene,but don't feel too bad,lol,I know John Perez their tour manager personally,but was so busy trying to get my book done,I actually missed them coming through my area in 2012.Made up for it though this year,wont detail the set and upset you but it was great,everyone should see Vitus,and need more likes here !
This song really seems to represent what it was like for the 80's doom metal bands. The mainstream was ruled by hair metal. The underground by thrash metal. And you typically play a show to a handful of hardcore punk kids.
Thrash wasn't underground at all, Metallica and Megadeth sold out everywhere and were regularly on MTV in the 80's. They were as popular as Motley Crue.
@@robertoricci3393 In the later 80's, sure. Thrash managed to get mainstream success. But back then I don't remember many people giving as much of a shit about Saint Vitus or The Obsessed compared to Metallica or Slayer. Doom didn't seem to get much reappraisal until years later while thrash was held in high regard when it was big.

do some reading complimentary wikipedia: During the 1980s, certain thrash metal bands established a prototype for black metal. This so-called "first wave" included bands such as Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer and Celtic Frost.[1] A "second wave" emerged in the early 1990s, which consisted primarily of Norwegian bands such as Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone, Immortal and Emperor. This scene developed the black metal style into a distinct genre.
@jockseery yeah i read somewhere that their main influence was Sabath, in fact they have a video and the song's name is Saint Vitus i believed they were going to sing paranoid, the setting is similar to the one in the paranoid video... amazing. of course that doesn't make them bad, on the contrary, the have a grea style. I adore it.

Pentagram?!?
@@markovisic7244 Well dude the correct is Bedemon
this is pretty much the anthem of all the post 90s' rockers, metalheads, our time is over guys
Hipsters have taken over man.
Non-hipster millenial here, there might still be hope
Good rock music still exists it's just not in the mainstream
Isn't that better for us?
Being on the fringes and all. Punks and metalheads used to revel in that position.
It will never be over as long as bands keep making music, which they haven’t to this day since this whole shit started.
This is real DOOM METAL!
Agreed
Candlemass - Demon's Gate. No more to tell.
Demon's Gate isn't even that heavy or low. It's weak compared to most doom metal.
Doom metal isn't all about how heavy a riff is, but how evil a riff is. And that riff is the most evil riff I've ever listened to in my entire life.
This is actually doom, KEEP THE METAL OUT OF DOOM
I know I don't belong and there's nothing that I can do
I was born too late and I'll never be like you

Born Too Late is the perfect title for this.
I was born too late considering I didn't get to live in the 80's; the period of everything awesome.
Itunes recommended me this for Helmet. This song and the bizarre solo halfway through the song is awesome. And his blues like voice goes great with this song.
Absolute thanx for posting it man!My true respects to the gods named 'Vitus...
This is definitely a track practically everyone who listens to songs from this decade (or early) on RUclips can easily relate to.
Ur gay
@@Cacapeepee113 wtf
I’m 28 and I was born to late modern music sucks ass 80s metal forever
Born too late?? This song makes sense now, but you couldn't pick a better year to be a long-haired metal guy than 1986.
You're ignoring the fact that Saint Vitus were part of an underground rock scene dominated by skinhead hardcore kids.
Chuck Foster
truth
in the 80's Vitus came to my hometown opening for Black Flag. People booed them, told the "stupid hippies to get off the fuggin' stage"
Unfortunately for the mouthpieces in the crowd, 80's-era Henry Rollins was around, and came to their defense on the stage, unleashing a classic and intimidating Rollins Rant on the fuckheads who DARED boo the mighty Saint Vitus!
Collin Holdfield Why hasn't Henry Rollins won some Nobel prices yet, I ask myself.
Collin Holdfield Pretty punk actually, that means they were so epic the audience couldn't handle it.
I guess I was just considering all the metal albums that came out that year. Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, Pleasure to Kill, Somewhere in Time, Peace Sells, etc.
Pure. Doom. And I'm seeing them in May. Hells yeah.
Long live Vitus! ´\+/`
It gets old people tellin me to go get a haircut
Do it, you look like a chick.
Aidan, The dead man Never let them win
Wear whatever the fuck hair you want man. Fuck everyone who says otherwise
This is my first time hearing St.Vitus and I gotta tell ya.....as a musician....yea i do hear a very heavy Sabbath influence.....but only in the rhythms. Everything else about it is unique to this band. I APPROVE!!!!! I could smoke a fat doobie and jam to this tune without a second thought!!
Definition of Doom !!!
One of the best fucking riffs ever.
one of the best live performances ever. I jes seen St. Vit on 4-11 in NOLA. \_/
they "i was born in wrong generation" 'd before it was cool lol
xD
Lmao
I'm not dealing with folk calling it "stoner metal" as if to give themselves a persona. It's pure dirty metal. Just old school Doom. Feel like a fucking candle listening to this, just dripping away into the abyss.
Lest we forget one of the greats.
I'm going to see them in September, with Orange Goblin, Wino, and Orchid, among others.
It gives me such great pleasure that kids today are growing up today and listening to some of this shit that us old farts were listening to in the 80's..... It is sort of surreal to realize people today actually care.
Saw them live last Thursday in front of a crowd of ~200 people. Best damn performance of the year!
If the whole world listened to doom it'll be a peaceful place!
the beauty in this album is in the emotion that bleeds out of it. both in the lyrics and dave chandler's guitar playing. i don't mind when people misunderstand this album, because that means that they shouldn't be listening to this anyway. and what's up with people saying that they "love doom, but don't like this band"??? this band - and especially this record IS doom. in every sense of the word.
Best lyrics EVER!
The lyrics for this song is so damn true
The fuckin godfathers of doom. All hail Saint Vitus
This is doom metal, baby. DOOM OVER THE WORLD!
such a great doom song, album, and band. they should be WAY more famous than they are
I'll never be like you....and I don't want to be like you.....[wall of squelch]. My life mantra. Amen.

Doom metal and sabbath worship at its finest \m/
This song shows you don't need blastbeat frenzy to sound good. Keep it simnple !
This kicks some heavy asses in so many ways!
when metal comes in the form of a lullaby
This was the sound track to taking big bong loads in 1993 for me and my friends. I don't partake anymore, but I still rock to St Vitus.
l love St. Vitus!
I was born in '84, so I came about just as everything, from music, to cars, to TV shows, was starting to slowly suck. Definitely born too late.
well, after listening to more doom, i'm now hooked on it. Its good stuff.
lol I'm trying to figure out a name for my own band and every single idea I have already exists. Seems like I'm BORN TOO LATE!!!
Well my favourite Vitus album is their first one (also called Saint Vitus) you can check it out and see if you like it.
My friends gave me a ticket for a Saint Vitus concert for my birthday without knowing anything about metal, and I barely knew them. Luckily they turned out to pretty sweet :D
Man, when I hear the music we have today,
I REALLY FEEL THAT I WAS BORN TOO LATE!!!
Uy, como adoro esta obra de álbum, agradezco tanto haberme topado con esta banda 🙂

man, it's so slow that i can't play it on drums....loved!!
