Great sounding and complex album:

I do not at all like this band, but this one song is something I’ve loved since 1991. It’s the only one where the guitarist sings, I think. And you’ll see members of Alice In Chains in the video:

Bonus for singing while also two-handed tapping.

You know you all heard this one a billion times. Now a billion and one.

What a voice. Killer bass tones. And a cool heavy guitar side by side with some bangin,' clean-compy Strat tones.

Hard song to keep your pants on to.

Great song, and more cool, understated, vibey guitars.

Love a song with a great bassline starting the proceedings.

Haha! Damn!


Too hot for soup anyways, unless it is gazpacho!

Can I redeem myself with more bass????






What a great band!

Just glad I am not off 2 decades. Give me another year or two for that.

It’s an interesting pattern too, I realized when I was learning this song; the pattern starts with the picking hand at the beginning, then starts with the fretting hand when he moves strings, making it a little tricky to get fluid.

I just love the feel of the song.

And of you haven’t heard of this band, I mourn the time you’ve lost. I love this album, called Screams and Whispers. To me, they were very songwriting based, on contrast to the “string of riffs” style many bands employed. This song just always hits me. The singer Kenn Nardi still releases solo stuff that’s just as good:

And to me most revolutionary album of the 90s was the one and only Damn the Machine album, with Chris Poland of Megadeth, then Ohm. To me they were trying to change metal into something bigger in a way. I always thought they should’ve been the biggest thing out of the 90s, but they were dropped after the one release. They were the only band I wrote a fan letter to when I was a kid; it was returned unopened by the record company!

It doesn’t hurt that the inimitable Brian Malouf provided production NO metal album ever received in those days. If you can hang with it, check out the guitar solo on this song; I think it’s devastating:

Uh, yeah!

You are the second person I have ever seen talk about these guys. This song (and album) were KILLER. Excellent ethereal moody metal that was super catchy and went hard when the time came \m/
