[DrizzlyGaming]

The guy can't be the new singer, he's addicted to crack-cocaine vvvv

[tibahoo]

[jareds1007]

[jareds1007]

[Tudeburger]

God I love Letterman. Who are the douchebags? Joking, lol. No, seriously. Oh yeah, MTV at 17 and bandless at 18. I remember them.

[ganjapocalypse]

[WhiteBreadRedNeck]

Nichole Scherzinger just said on XFactor that she was in this band.

[veshijr101]

What a dick. Letterman I mean.

[SWbro94]

[coub07]

[jbeard8]

[Methstories]

Letterman has had some great talent on his show.. Well, back in the day anyways.

[1heldaccountable]

better than silverchair my ass

[27419917]

@1heldaccountable yes my friend........meeks is bigger than johns no doubt

[mapreader]

MAKE DADDY PROUD!!!

[MarkLKJ]

my get off my ass song

[YouJoenas]

Great live performance by DOTN!

[gimmetehroids]

4:03...I just shat myself from the awesome.

[gimmetehroids]

Meeks had that amazing fucking rawness...holy shit!

[emittscool]

I hear the metallica influence in his "WHOOOOAAAA" right before the solo

[JVA4]

What a shame. One of my all-time favorites

[sawdoff1100]

Travis Meeks is a musical genius. This man even when he plays solo can shred and sing like no band on the face of the earth and thats the truth noone can comepare to him. Most band had a good singer and a good guitarist. Travis is Great at both.

[ethericloopz]

Letterman is a fuckin' idiot

[TheMontanto]

@ethericloopz u gotta love him.

[pimpofdoom]

@TheMontanto i dont o_O

letterman is a douche to everyone on his show

[toot1231]

@ethericloopz Hes cool as shit.

[chargers85ish]

fuck you

[BiGoDeLsKi]

whitener ruled

[sawdoff1100]

@BiGoDeLsKi You do know travis taught him how to play right.

[BiGoDeLsKi]

@sawdoff1100 just because travis said that doesnt make it true, he's notorious for being out of his god damn mind..Although, I do attribute Tantric's sound, with the original lineup, to the DOTN influence

[sawdoff1100]

@BiGoDeLsKi Agree but Travis has autism and on top of that a recovering addict so its safe to say he can be less than normal sometimes, but musicaly the man is Amazing, some of his newer material i have heard over the last few years is just not of this world, makes this song seem like a kid wrote it, o wait a kid did write it, Travis Meeks. His new music doesn't have the dark sound as his first album but its still 10 times better in my opinion.Trantric is now shit. HUGO is a pice of shit asshole

[sawdoff1100]

@BiGoDeLsKi I have tracks from 1995 with just Travis performing it was berfore DOTN was even made into a band. Travis created all Days of the New, he still tours regularly and is still in th processe of recording a new album, which from the tracks i have heard are just EPIC and unbeliveable, when that album releases, people who thought Dotn was done for will be in for a wake up call, he was badass as a teen, but he has only gotten better with with his guitar playing and song writing.

[phucyoutoob]

@sawdoff1100

Was this song written earlier than 1997?

I too am looking forward to "Tree Colors".

[sawdoff1100]

@phucyoutoob yes, Travis wrote all the songs before DOTN was even a band. Wrote then when he was 14-16 years old. I got a copy of a solo Travis did of the song Freak in 1995 that he performed for a talent showcase that led to him getting a record deal without a band, the band was formed after Travis got a record deal to make it more appealing to the fans, that and Travis didn't like performing on stage alone when he was younger. Now he does solo shows all the time.

[DrinkingMusic]

Travis Meeks Is Unbelievable!

[sawdoff1100]

@DrinkingMusic Jesse Vest

[swjames6692]

Anyone know the name of the bassist?

[2681910]

@swjames6692 Jesse Vest

[tahltanlady1]

i wish he would get off the drugs and make some more music i miss this stuff like big time ,, i seen him on intervention ,, he was on the pipe !! so much talent wasted!!! get your shit togethor and start strumming again!!!!! ppl miss your music!!!

[MustaineMenza]

Damn. This shit NEVER gets old.

[brendanlovesbeer]

is it me or whats up with the shoes/boots

[Fickerstaff]

I love 90s Rock

[noestabien]

oh the 90s... when live performances actually sounded like the records. Before autotune ruined the world

[MrFoxfan67]

The Original Line Up!! Sweet! They where awesome live back in the day! : - )

[drew7473]

i was in rehab with the him...

[27419917]

@PickledPigeonTime Travis was 14 when he wrote the album yellow.

travis daniel johns is better by far

[amadisborealis]

I like how Todd re-adjusts the pedal at the last minute 1:00 :-)

[TheJunksVEVO]

Damnit. If only musicians today were more into music than fame. They might could turn out ALMOST as good as DOTN.

[YourAverageJo]

C'mon Travis, it's been almost ten years, hurry up and finish DOTN Tree Colors allready!

[admielke]

Days of the New reminds me of Nirvana because the singer doesn't seem to care for the spot light and fame but the others in the band rock out hard.

[starlitheavens]

They were kids here and no one now could touch them

[trogdor714]

awesome find, one of my favorite bands! i fuckin live for acoustic grunge!!!

[Haveada]

fuckin awesome

[salrap10]

im 17 years old and he looks way older than me at that age lol

[SmashedRadio]

@salrap10 I'm 22 and still... he looks older than me:|

[xXdEaThSeQuEnCeXx]

@salrap10  thats meth for yah lol

[josephpeters239]

good point... dude was 17 when this was BIG and when he hit the road with Metallica and Jerry Cantrell ... probably about 16 when he wrote this record.

[ltuomela]

ole boy is lucky he got the spot light on the lead spot cause Travis buries him on guitar..

[Palfbags]

"AND NOW I STAND . . . ." right there where he kicks it up a notch that's a free vocal lesson in itself folks. Sounds like travis is ginding nuts and bolts in his throat! WICKED !!!

[lptoro6]

@r4scauache its not that the bands are better or anything its that the gay ass music lable execs wont let good music in the public so you have to go see some guy in a bar do cover songs of all the good songs when i gureentee if they let some good music out miley cyrus the jo bros and fuckin lady haha would be gone in an instant

[MegaHit999]

what year was this song made

[redcthulhu]

@MegaHit999 1995 or 96, album came out in 96.

[kermitsnap]

@MegaHit999 97 or 98

[ekarukin]

@kermitsnap album came out in 98 and started selling huge in the middle of 99 as they got out and toured

[Poffpoffpass]

Reminds me of Cobain

[lexrox5101]

WOW!! Such talent!! This is real music!!

[alexmelch]

Why is Travis holding the guitar like this?? Aimed down...??? Funny way to play... Great live stuff!!!

[18thstreetpier]

start time: 8:00 PM

phone#: 281-339-2600

Music was salvation for Travis Meeks of Days Of The New

Balancing the influences of Pantera and Guns n Roses with the exotic tones of The Doors and Dead Can Dance, Travis wrote music as a response to what he saw. In the acoustic guitar Travis found an earthy, percussive sound to match his already powerhouse voice

[itsallgood239]

@TheFifthH0rseman It's the consumers fault for buying the bullshit too

[Casebomb]

kick ass! no one sounds like this anymore. new bands suck dick. too much dick.

[mjaster73]

how can you even dare to put DOTN in the same sentence as the Jonas Bros!!!

[squidobarnez]

I watched this when it first aired, so awesome to see it again.

[HawkRock1996]

Just did some more coke with tantric,These guys know how to snort it!

[aftr1000]

perverted lyrics , awsome music.

[HawkRock1996]

Just did some coke with tantric,hope travis is clean,he has to much talent to waste.

[CountDraculer]

i think green was his best album

[TheflyingL]

I wish him well. He is great.

[PrideandGlory23]

This band could have been great if they hadn't split up. I really enjoyed their debut album. Hopefully Meeks is doing alright these days.

[amnee12192]

He sounds like he is trying to be Layne Staley. That's ok, because so was everyone else. Great song.

[SVSwamie]

they are playing at an adult entertainment deal in San Antonio Tx. i heard it on the radio. i would go but i don't think I'm old enough to get in. It's in a week or two.

[vecman]

too band travis got addicted to meth and fired the band.

[MrSaturdayNight7]

@vecman Well thats not completely bad. We got Tantric out of it.

[xwolbx]

what year was this?

[sinate6669]

sux this band split up

[madman3737]

did someone seriously compare Travis Meeks to some moron from Silverchair? Seriously? lollz

[XR3DxX]

Plain and simple.

Amazing

[crosxtalk]

awesome!

[TheflyingL]

Where is Croc Rock?

[TellyaSomethin]

Allentown Pa.  You know like the billy joel tune

[skateboardermonk782]

my dads band is opening for them at crocodile rock january 23rd vox humana GOOOO!!!! and buy tickets

[anvdoe]

Amazing musicians at such a young age.

[samsjd]

Great band and a great song, but Jim Morrison was the only man authorized to wear leather pants, lol.

[sawdoff1100]

agreed leather not travis meeks best idea ha ha

[27419917]

@samsjd wherever...........travis is better, no doubt

meeks for ever

[YewLogs026]

lulz. meth. lulz.

[sweetmelissa7422]

I actually just saw them for the 1st time & he blew my mind with his talent!! He is very gifted & humble too, which made the experience even better. It's so great that he's clean now! One day at a time! ; )

Hey, rotaryrebel good info.! Take it easy

[250honda]

i still cant believe he was that young! i've never heard a 17 year old with a voice like that. he sounds like he's 30.

[holynapkin]

Listen to Silverchair. They were 14 when they recorded their first album.

[ppriess]

DOTN is far better than Silverchair, sorry.

[Hangman47]

@ppriess agreed. I've been listening to grunge bands my whole life, Oddly enough I haven't discovered this band till about last year. I've listened to LOTs of silverchair and not that much DOTN and i can still agreed that the latter is better.

[MrSaturdayNight7]

@Hangman47 No offense dude. But your 31 right? And your just discovering DOTN? This Album was HUGE when it cameout. What rock were you hiding under?

[27419917]

@ppriess no doubt my friend. sin comparacion

[bigboss25262]

@ppriess That pretty much goes without saying. Oh and BTW, Letterman is an insufferable prick.

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

@ppriess No. Just no.

[MrBonzo09]

@ppriess you don´t have to apologize...you just have to fuck yourself!!! DOTN is a great band too but never better than silverchair...sad enough you use words like "better" in music!!!

[MatthewFarmer47]

@ppriess Well they are definitely better technically and a great band at that. I love both bands, but Days of the new's career ended too soon and Silverchair makes horrible music now.

[holynapkin]

Silverchair were only 14.

[r4scuache]

@holynapkin -thats true, i forgot about them.thanx for reminding me.

[mrbill1000]

@r4scuache Jonas brothers are for the kiddies... I seriously doubt days of a new would be a good influence for the children, so thats not really a good comparison.

[ZZ327]

@r4scuache fuckin A!

[ecaliche]

@r4scuache damn right!!!

[nfarnham2008]

@r4scuache Yah, no shit lol. All the good music died in the 80's and 90's. Nowadays anyone with computer knowledge of sound engineering can sound good.

[Eifler121]

@r4scuache Well, this is spoonman reworked



[ToXicTubeTV]

@r4scuache I love you. You have made the best comment on youtube.

[dodgyrogie]

@r4scuache there here cleaner drugs back then more pure!!

[HanFamComp]

@r4scuache Autism CAN be a blessing.

[jeffmcaraturnbull]

@r4scuache Travis meeks was genius back in the day.. idk what he is doing now..

[fallenskatr06]

@jeffmcaraturnbull A friend of mine said he was in jail with him and he's still locked up.

[hdreaper13]

He plays regular shows here in San Antonio at Scout Bar, he looked pretty clean and WOW amazing show. Hope the info was useful.

[ladygagasucks90]

@r4scuache amen to that

[sinate6669]

the other guy on gat looks like jerry from alice in chains lol

[yaddledaddle]

Not cool live!! The album version sounds unreal!!!

[DAZEOFTHESTONED]

stop smoking crack and you're voice wont crack. By the way I think Daves false teeth almost fell out when he introduced the band and said "too much stuffing"

[jgbc09]

Lost everything and became a crack head...what a waste as Travis was brilliant!

[rexgeist]

He is back and clean and more kick ass than ever!!! Saw them in Ft Wayne Indiana Sunday night and it was insane!!!!!

[jgbc09]

Really, that is brilliant....thanks for letting me know!

[vallveeta82]

I wouldn't call it a rip off LOL I'd call it a compliment to sound similar to those bands...geez.....

[deevon788]

i love this stuff,but couldnt u imagine them usin electric guitars how bitchen it would be

holy shit

[TIGERSDFW]

you know the people watching this video life the band, so why post negative crap here??  just trrying to piss everyone off?

[cleanserene]

LOL They sound like nothing like Nirvana, and this is the only song that resembles AIC. DOTN has some briliant music

[pedritoantonio]

awesome band...!!!! i miss travis!!!

[placeboBSH]

Meeks is the man

[Chunibrow]

???

[NegativeCreep11]

aside from the fact that it was shortened...its radical...

[ShaemusTOFinnigan]

date for this performance? anyone?

By the way....to those who can't figure out what is obvious....Letterman is KIDDING with the lads. That is his job. That is what he does. Letterman is proudly FROM Indiana, and is the "daddy" he refers to in his ad lib joke. I reckon if the clip ran a little longer, you would see Letterman go up to the band, and enthusiastically embrace them. Guaranteed that he wanted to give them their prime time network debut on HIS show. Guaranteed that he LOVED the song.

[hootylicious1]

I don't think Dave recognizes talent when he see's it! Travis Meeks kicks ass...opened for Metallica at 17, writes his own songs. BADDDDDASS!

[jordangates3]

they had two number one mainstream rock songs with this and the downtown so theyre not one hit wonders.

[CyberKlown28]

his voice sounds a lot grittier than the album version o.o

[1JdA1]

He did the same thing to CREED

[XNeWZeAlAnDX]

Letterman makes a living off taking the piss outta others , fukkin carrot up the ass fool :))

These dudes RULE!!!!!!

[soulseek1111]

I hate Letterman!

[Gordrann]

Oh, come on! That was a crack-up! Hoosiers cutting up together.

[soulseek1111]

Maybe hate is a strong word but it sounded to me letterman was belittleing the band..

[Gordrann]

Well, he always sounds that way. Plus he's *from* Indiana himself, so it seemed like home-state ribbing, if anything.

[soulseek1111]

Excatly why i don't like him. Thanks for the info..

[DivaRastaMom]

i do think it's hilarious that everyone knows everything about travis meeks...how bout just appreciate his preponderant ability to make music.

[iamnotthedevil]

Asperger syndrome. to be more exact

[dan12con]

Letterman is such a fucking cock.

[highron]

not bad for all medthed out surprised he did not itch his face half way thru good job travis come back to us QUIT useing!!!

[rotaryrebel]

he was 17 when this was filmed he wasn't "methed out" at this time, that several years down the dirty road. Travis is clean and doing well now. DotN is almost constantly on tour at this point.

[corvetter68]

Funny how everyone thinks they are experts about this guy. Fact..... He is one of the most venerated accoustic guitar players ever! He is not autistic and he is finally sober from doing drugs.

[rotaryrebel]

haha actually - fact is he IS mildly autistic (Asperger's Syndrome)

[crashunderride]

Hard to believe Meeks is autistic.

[DivaRastaMom]

jesus christ.......

[robogizmoe]

there not a one hit wonder they got tons of great licks

[durtygenes1]

travis meeks is the shit!!!

[derrryoulose]

This is my favorite artist, other than Chris Cornell.

:D

[MoanaLindsey]

see him on intervention? lmao

[ldenisep]

yeah...that was like 4 years ago...he's doing well...thanks for all ur support!

[jazu40]

Great performance. Lead guitarist remind me one of Muppet Show character:)

[ratoamilanesa]

GREAT!!!

[szigyen]

these guys are awesome ! :) i love this song
