WOW! How can this possibly have 7 votes for dislike? Really? What more could you ever possibly ask for than a groundbreaking, genre-pushing band at it's very peak? Mineral, was by and large, responsible in so many ways for so many bands that's it's impossible to count. Go vote "dislike" on something that matters not like Lady Gaga or Katy Perry or other manufactured pop garbage. This video represents a great moment in time!
However, in the end there can only be one: Texas Is The Reason. Best band of all during that "1990-2000 emo"-journey, in my opinion.. Only The Appleseed Cast (which isn't quite as most of the bands from that era) will reach its height.
@markuskentwood I guess it depends on who you're asking. It's MY favourite of the era, but both sunny day and Mineral is close behind, Mineral would be the one closer. I think they compare, but maybe not in terms of popularity.
Christie Front Drive didn't rip off SDRE. It's called "musical influenced by" when it sounds like this. The Appleseed Cast is not even in the category in which Mineral, SDRE, Christie Front Drive etc are in. But who cares, it's not like it really matters. Personally, I've always preferred Mineral over SDRE, mostly because Chris Simpson wrote some really good lyrics. As of both Jeremy's and Chris current projects, I prefer Jeremy's. He still plays somewhat similar.
@harodirt77 i enjoy mineral much more than sunny day as well, but that doesn't mean it's not a blatant rip off. christie front drive and appleseed cast are other examples of SDRE rip offs that did it better.
music/clothes/video games were all better in the 90s :( too bad I was only 5 when this was recorded. I mainly like metal but even those bands released their best stuff in the 90s.
i believe this was 96 and possibly in tucson arizona. i think i remember getting real sick in L.A. for over a week this tour, but we were gone for like 200 days that year. man, it doesn't even seem like it was my life anymore. gw
@TheHellawaitsyou Where at in Tucson man? I live here but I was too young when you were still around. Its weird I've watched this a countless amount of times but I never knew it was here.
@petrolhead1845598 If you say so. Sonic Youth did play a big part in no wave and noise rock, but dissonance isn't exactly the defining feature of Sonic Youth. It's your call. I just don't really see it.
this band used to rule my heart like few others back in the day. thank you for providing me with hours of perfect sounds that soothed my unattainable romantic ideals and melancholic heart <3
One of my favorite bands... I was lucky enough to be in my teens during the mid 90's in Austin... Lived just 5 minutes from Emo's... Great bands, with Mineral jumpstarting the "Post-emocore" scene... Saw them several times... My favorite show being when the played with Jimmy Eat World and Sensefield in 97 (I think)... Best summer of my life.
@rouenea Actually, at that show I got that 7" split... I still have it. It has an awesome cover of "Crazy" by Mineral. Great record. I have no idea where to get it, but I'm sure you can find it online somewhere.
@3rdcoasthorn dang, that sucks. this band is good, old school jimmy eat world is badass. i have everything from 1991 to 1998 era. holla back if you want a link to the website i found it on. it also has a live version of the whole clarity album.
happy feedback (: it was like "hey you got a camera?" you should tape the show tonight lol. I own the only other copy of one of their live performances its beautiful cant wait to convert it to youtube.
Fuck this is awesome. I really wish I was a teenager when this kind of music was around. Just look at everyone at this show, including the band. They all just look like regular guys. No trends, or bullshit. Nowa days you go to a show and everyone is following some gay trend.
(btw) You are right man. I've said that before about this kinda music. American Football/Sunny Day Real Estate etc it is just some guys singing and playing great songs. It wasn't about a clothing style.
That's because this is real music, not some washed up over produced mainstream horse shit. Real music written by real people who care about what they play and who listens and not how much money they make.
@Guitbox24 There were trends in the 90s just as there are today. People can't seem to be happy with the music they have. Teenagers 10 years from now will be complaining about their music and revering ours.
@Guitbox24 nah man they look like 90s emo people loook at the hair, the ringers, the thriftstore tees, the wallet chains, the old shool vans, they were following the trend in the 90s.
@Guitbox24 Hey, there were plenty of mainstream showing off trends back then. Same as now. Besides, nobody's forcing you to follow some trend I guess. Personally I don't fuc*in care about this whole mainstream thing. If I like some kind of music I listen to it, If I like some clothes I buy it etc. Make your own decisions and create your own style. Peace!
@Guitbox24 I was a teenager when these bands were around..and my friends and I bitched about not being around in the early 80s when a lot of the bands we liked were first popular. Not that we didnt like stuff like this..it just doesnt seem "classic" when its current. Enjoy the now, there are still plenty of bands like this. And trust me..this stuff was a "trend" then, with a certain aesthetic and attitude that people adhered to.
@Guitbox24 I was a part of this scene, and by that, I mean that I was a part of the music that made this scene. We had a band, put on shows DIY style, played with Mineral, Jimmy, Sense Field, Hot Water Music...you name it...and it was amazing because it was always about the music. Then...one day...it was about something else. It's sad, and I haven't been a part of it since.
This song and performance from 15 years ago is the perfect example of why rock and the music industry in general is dead. You will never see another wave of bands like Mineral/Promise ring/Cap'n Jazz/JoanofArc again. It makes me sad that this period of music is over and that it happened so long ago. I'm 30 now, and hearing and seeing this video makes me feel so much older.
Why can't have the 90's garage band era back when everyone wanted to be part of a movable chord flinging, emotional lyric writing, loud ass drumming band that kicked ass? Ugh...
@boypaslot I don't know about the rest of them, but Chris has been making music under the name Zookeeper for a while now since The Gloria Record broke up.
Yeah, they're Christian (several songs on their second album openly praise Jesus). Don't let it discourage you though, they're music is amazing. Definitely pick up their second album (it's different but better in some ways).
Oh, quite the contrary, it's beautiful music and it doesn't deter me in the least. Mostly due to the fact that I myself am a Christian. I think it's amazing that they openly praise Jesus.
That's what draws me to this music the most, the sincerity of their lyrics and the emotion with which Simpson sings. This is perfect worship music, actually.
I am listening to the second album at this moment.
I will be honest, it's been a long time since I have heard music that moves me like this.
They Said once that we are Christians in a band not a Christian band but much of our lyrics are spiritual Bands like Mineral and sunny day real estate were shunned from the Christian music scene even thou they sung songs inspired by their spirituality and faith I guess the Catholics didnt like them because they didnt molest children
My god look how young they are. I grew up in houston in the mid80's threw 2000's and i thought only we knew about this band. First time i went on tour with my band "My Luck" i found out how wrong i was.
Armor for Sleep "remember to feel real" jacked this rift and bleed note...can't blame them Mineral Rocks out! When i was in High shool i blasted Mineral alll the time!!!
If you were asking me that, I'm the guy with the long hair standing in front of (technically, immediately to the right of) the guy in all white with the white backwards baseball cap. You don't get to see much more than the top half of my face tho, because of the guy with the black baseball cap in front of me.
I am enrolled in a forum of people emo (posers) ago Convens them and insult to tell possers, false emos, etc to make them understand that they are like 90s emo
really? i always thought it went "THOUGHTS flap their wings and fly."
Didn't know it was wings flap their wings....seems kind of impossible considering that they would be the last band to write something so redundant as that. Which means you are obviously wrong.
besides the fact that i have known chris since 1989 and happen to know that it is fouls (which means birds by the way), thoughts makes no sense in the context of the song. don't want to argue, but it is fouls without a boubt
I don't believe that. 'Thoughts' makes perfect sense in the context of the song, because I would say most of Simpson's lyrics aren't literal. He was being figurative. Of course it'd make no sense literally.
-if you look at old fugazi interviews, you would know how much they despised being labled as emo, after all, doesn't all music require a bit (or a lot) of emotion to be created? i think it's the stereotype that turns a lot of people off. sure, it's great to feel and okay to be sad but don't pigeon-hole really talented people with a label, why can't music just be what it is? i love this band about as much as i first did in the 90's. i am grateful i got to see the gloria record. so very good.
There's such a contrast between all the members. Chris looks really into it, guitar guy is rocking out, bass guys kinda looks asleep, the drummer is having spasms, lol.
well, as far as guitars go, it looks like he's playing either a Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway, or a PRS SE. I can't tell because there isn't really a good shot of the headstock.
its a Hamer Sunburst (sparkly gold PRS looking guitar),With a seymour duncan in the bridge I think (its zebra striped),and I think its a JCM 800 ampwise,not sure of cab though.
Yeah, if you look at band band pictures on the Crank! Records site, it appears he used a Hamer guitar with a Marshall JCM800 or 900 head into a Bogner cab.

If you look close enough, you can see an 18 year old me in the audience at this show. Goddamn, I still love this band.

Oh, which one are you?
ganstamannirvana93 2 years ago
If you were asking me that, I'm the guy with the long hair standing in front of (technically, immediately to the right of) the guy in all white with the white backwards baseball cap. You don't get to see much more than the top half of my face tho, because of the guy with the black baseball cap in front of me.
revralf23 2 years ago
Are you the guy with the black hair at 0:57 or is that someone else?
ganstamannirvana93 2 years ago
Yeah, the tall guy with long black hair between the two guys with baseball caps.

really? i always thought it went "THOUGHTS flap their wings and fly."
Didn't know it was wings flap their wings....seems kind of impossible considering that they would be the last band to write something so redundant as that. Which means you are obviously wrong.

no, it's THOUGHTS.
OkCorral 2 years ago
besides the fact that i have known chris since 1989 and happen to know that it is fouls (which means birds by the way), thoughts makes no sense in the context of the song. don't want to argue, but it is fouls without a boubt
jonaholaf 2 years ago
i believe you.
could it be 'fowl' though? i've never heard of a 'foul', apart from the technical type.
OkCorral 2 years ago
absolutely, you're right it is spelled fowls, i.e. birds
jonaholaf 2 years ago
I don't believe that. 'Thoughts' makes perfect sense in the context of the song, because I would say most of Simpson's lyrics aren't literal. He was being figurative. Of course it'd make no sense literally.

@jonaholaf Well if you are so sure you are right, you should go correct every lyric site on the internet for this song.

-if you look at old fugazi interviews, you would know how much they despised being labled as emo, after all, doesn't all music require a bit (or a lot) of emotion to be created? i think it's the stereotype that turns a lot of people off. sure, it's great to feel and okay to be sad but don't pigeon-hole really talented people with a label, why can't music just be what it is? i love this band about as much as i first did in the 90's. i am grateful i got to see the gloria record. so very good.

There's such a contrast between all the members. Chris looks really into it, guitar guy is rocking out, bass guys kinda looks asleep, the drummer is having spasms, lol.

Does anyone know what type of guitar and amp Scott has?
ganstamannirvana93 2 years ago
well, as far as guitars go, it looks like he's playing either a Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway, or a PRS SE. I can't tell because there isn't really a good shot of the headstock.
DangetMusic 2 years ago
I'm pretty sure it's a PRS because on the Emo's show you can see his guitar better. I know it's not a Les Paul because the head-stock is different.
ganstamannirvana93 2 years ago
PRS SE's didn't even exist when Mineral was a band.
martkra 2 years ago
its a Hamer Sunburst (sparkly gold PRS looking guitar),With a seymour duncan in the bridge I think (its zebra striped),and I think its a JCM 800 ampwise,not sure of cab though.
hope this helps.
ZorubBuroz 2 years ago
Yeah, if you look at band band pictures on the Crank! Records site, it appears he used a Hamer guitar with a Marshall JCM800 or 900 head into a Bogner cab.
