I resent the fact I have to be pushed here to watch a video. I HATE ads!!!!! And another thing, the music isn't even loud enough! I truely HATE VEVO. I do ANYTHING I can to avoid watching crap on this channel, and ALWAYS try to find someone else's videos to watch.
Got to see this band at Stir Cove at Harrah's in Council Bluffs, IA 3 or 4 years ago. After the concert the crowd was pretty much gone, my wife and I were browsing t-shirts at one of the vendors when we turned around and there was the whole band about 5 ft away from us just mingling. We got their autographs and chatted with each a bit. My wife gave Robin hug. Very down to earth, very personable. Very cool experience!

4 dislikes? 4 people who don't appreciate talent songwriters and musicians! Most artist today can't pay someone enough to write songs as good as this.
WOOOOOOWWW!!!! The first two seconds give me the shivers, amazing. Few songs have that effect on me! I jus LOVE this tune. Makes me remember how amazaing the 90s were.
I think people become strongly attached emotionally to music that plays a significant part in their youth. Musical taste is so strongly influenced by what music we're exposed to at a young age that as much as I hate to say it, many people may look back on some of the music that most of us 90's kids dislike these days, and they will feel that the music of the future just doesn't live up to the music of their generation. But there is still new music I can appreciate, I just have to look for it.
@777MSG It seems like this whole board of comments has just turned into a pissing contest for people who thinks they have the best taste in music, but you my friend have nailed it on the head. Everybody's taste in music is defined by what they grew to like as they came of age. So sad as it may be kids really do think that the garbage on the radio today is really good, deep, and mindful music. And in 20 years they are going to be saying the same things about how music isn't what it use to be.
@777MSG Great music stil happens today and will happen in the future....................... But such groups and tunes seem to last forever because they touched us very deeply in our youth. I have loved groups and songs of every decade and it is so very sad that these very special tunes are lost in time as tears in the rain.
@c1976newfie What happened? What happened was reality TV took over.
Look no further than 16 and Preg, and Jersey Shore, etc, to see the dumbing down of America.
I am the MTV generation (literally, saw it the day it premiered, at 15) and I feel so sorry for todays generation. Where the original MTV was ground breaking, now its a corporate monster more worried about bottom line then music. We saw the evolution of music video, only to see MTV castrate its baby with reality shows and fakes.
@azrock4ever I see it in the lack of substance contained in so many Youtube comments by the present generation. It's all F* this and suck my d*, and though I'm not at all offended by vulgarity, it need s to have a constructive end goal. Please prove me wrong and show me that you have a brain, emotions, passions that lead to constructive and effective ends. The raw and vulgar emotion must be channeled toward a renewal of society much like the rebellion of youth from the 60's,
@jeff62rey "that I have a brain"? What are you talking about? I didn't use vulgarity or say anything remotely offensive towards anyone in particular.
I'm a musician, and have been for almost 40 years, so I know from whence I speak on the subject of music, melodies, personal experience, and historical fact.
Maybe you should put the thesaurus down and write something accurate?
@azrock4ever I'm not addressing the artist, but rather the artistically challenged. I fully understand and support the artists' venue. I am addressing the shallow lack of understanding so evident among the 'fan' base. Any offence given is retracted.
@azrock4ever I can top you..I remember the day MTV 1st aired. yes its sad what it deteriorated into. does that channel even play music videos anymore?
@azrock4ever I'm with you! I was 21 the day it came out and I sat in front of the T.V watching that MTV for hours on end. I was mesmorized just like my Dad was with the Weather Channel. What has happened to our music? Don McClean laid it all out in "American Pie;" 'the three men I admire the most, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, they took the last train for the coast, the day the music died." Even God's turned His back on it all now.
@azrock4ever I could not agree with you more. I witnessed MTV's launch day too (remember how BIG of an event it was??)...and thought it was most amazing thing EVER. I don't know why they dont change the name, b/c it is certainly not music tv anymore. TV today SUCKS and yes, I agree, it is the "planned dumbing down" of America. Reality shows have really screwed us up; remember when A&E/Bravo were intelligent "artsy" stations? The warping of our culture as a whole depresses me deeply.
@azrock4ever so you, like me, must be fortysomething. LOL! MTV is very very wrong. They do not promote music they promote a lifestyle of sin. I am no saint, but I know I do not want my daughter to watch 16 and prego! WTF!
@Mickey2206 Yes I am, and kids will dismiss my comments because they don;t know and didn't experience what it was like to have a true musical culture. They didn't have "corporate" bands back then. By corporate I mean bands that were assembled FOR the look, not the content. Pussycat Dolls comes to mind. Sex sells, so lets make a sexy band. Has nothing to do with musical quality or actually playing anything. Its a dance troupe. Nothing more, nothing less.
@azrock4ever Yep. I really feel that the 1990s was the end of actual music. Sure there are bands that are playing their own stuff, but you are correct in stating that today's "artist" are nothing more than a dance troupe. I blame MTV. They have dumb down youth. UGH!

What a fu*** is a lady gaga banner doing above this awsome music video? OH yeah, is a subliminal stuff... 90's music over the shitty music over the radio these days.
Doug Hopkins ,{April 11, 1961 – December 5, 1993}.formed the band in 1987 in AZ.He committed suicide, shooting himself while in the early stages of mental health treatment for alcoholism, which occurred shortly after getting a gold disc for Hey Jealousy. He was the lead guitarist and songwritter. He was fired from the band:(
@LLB61959 Yup songs like "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer and "Oops I did it again" make the 90's the best ever decade for music (even though music has been around for thousands of years).
@ToadsMGodes of course I'm not serious, but my comment is no more absured than the comment I replied to that said the 90's is the best decade for music ever. Just being sarcastic.
I find it funny how everyone says music isn't what it once was. I specifically remember during my youth in the 1990's, my parents used to diss my favorite bands (namely Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Hootie and the Blowfish, etc.) for not being up to par with what they listened to in the late 60's and mostly the 70's. Now, we look at the music today and say it's not up to par with what we grew up listening to. It seems to be a neverending cycle. Fascinating in my opinion!
@chabrastamepues there's where you're mistaken. My mom listens to classics like Ella Fitzgerald, The Beatles, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. I ended up getting my mom to listen to 90's artists like Mariah Carey, Oasis, and Boyz II Men who have VERY similar styles to the previously mentioned artists. As much as I hate modern day music, there are still diamonds in the rough like The Killers, Temper, Trap, The Roots, and Talib Kweli for example. There is still an ounce of hope.
@dlsumner1 That right there is exactly why we keep living in the past, and I do that as much as anyone else. After all, if time waits for no one, why bother keeping pace with it?
@chabrastamepues People have said this a lot on Youtube videos.I think in this case it is different.I hear young people saying the same thing. So it's not just a generational thing. The 90s had much more rock and guitar oriented music on the radio. The trend today is more of a hip hop dance sound.
@meglaw69 Yeah, that's the reason. It has nothing to do with lyrics or anything, it is just the lack of rock and guitar oriented music on the radio, or at least, that is why I don't like many newer Top 40 hits.
@chabrastamepues G C D and E A B. Thats the formula. Rock out. I like your perspective. Music is different for everyone but opinions don't change the fact music is about expression of the artist as well as the listener.
@chabrastamepues I didn't grow up in the 90s, however, my mother enjoys a lot of 90s music, and I do as well, and I consider myself someone who grew up in the early-mid 00s.
@chabrastamepues So you think people will grow up and be like " I sure miss that transgender Lady Ghag on Cock " and that little faggot fucker " JustinbieberfucksGays " and that stupid Wanna be rapper " lilwaynesucks on black dildoes " I doubt it bro.
@CoolConejo I think people will look look back on mainstream rock bands like The Killers, Weezer, Lifehouse, Train, Daughtry, and others and say stuff like "Now this is music" and the same statements that we are making about our 90's music that we grew up with. When it comes to pop act from our era like the boy bands and such we look back at them and remember how much we hated them but still knew all their songs but refused to admit it. 20 yrs from now the same will be said for Bieber and such.

@chabrastamepues Yea, except for it is obvious the quality has gone down simply by listening to the composition. Todays bands make up for lack of talent by throwing guitars around and jumping around the stage. Thats performance, not playing.
There are no guitar solos in todays 'music'. Its all power chords and vanilla melodies. 70s,80s,90s had real guitar players actually doing something with their axe. Not strumming and whining. Pete Townsend had his windmill, but actually played through it
After Hopkins was gone, these guys sounded so vanilla on the nights he was too toasted to play it was ridiculous. Even the tunes he didn't write he arranged, changed the sound. But he was also a pretty miserable human being who would screw over anyone to get a buzz going
I knew these guys when they were just getting started. The creative force in that band, the guy who wrote and arranged all their songs was Doug Hopkins. Unfortunately he was also a junkie and who, as junkies often do, found it easier to kill himself than try to live without the junk. He was the guy who gave the band their sound. Shame he couldn't find another way to deal.
@DCASU87 "He was the guy who gave the band their sound. Shame he couldn't find another way to deal." Yeah. It really is so sad. Without him, the Gin Blossoms were not the same. No more good material in my opinion. So many bands wrecked by substance abuse. Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Gin Blossoms are just ones from this time period. New Miserable Experience was a truly great album. I would hope young kids today give it a hear. It beats anything on the radio today.
Gin blossom Its really an amazing music I've ever heard, their music gave to my mind a peace & serene time. YOUR SO F****** GREAT GUYZ!!! Every music was so cool!!! Gin blossom music is a legend!
@g0ldbuG Rosacea, also known as gin blossoms, is a chronic facial skin condition in which capillaries are excessively reactive, leading to redness from flushing or telangiectasia. Rosacea has been mistakenly attributed to alcoholism because of its similar appearance to the temporary flushing of the face that often accompanies the ingestion of alcohol
@GorgeousRoddyChrome Not exactly correct. A gin bloosom is what old timers used to call the nose of a heavy drinker. Over the years the drinking effects the nose by making it swell. WC Fields ring a bell?
I freakin love this song. It reminds me of a time shortly after I came out of hospital when I was unable to move my right arm, and I was so desperate to play the guitar again that I made the chord shapes to this song with my left hand on the guitar whilst my brother strummed with his right hand, That was over a decade ago, and my arm's no better. Shame, that. Still, this song brings back a lovely memory.
timeless and beautiful man by 2:40 that 20 seconds of guitar turns me into an wise old man the youth simply vanishes from existence as age takes its place once again
.......someone they can 'produce' a sound around...........and they sound like shit out of the studio w/o all the high tech gadgets to cover their inability to b artists
i had the fortune of seeing them in concert this summer..........truly amazing!! his voice is still as incredible as ever!! i think what young people don't understand about the difference between music 2day and our generation(im an '88' HS graduate)...is when we heard an album, whoever it was, could produce the same sound in concert.......couldnt tell the difference...they would go to the studio, cut the album......and head out on tour........nowadays music producers look for 'eye candy'....

Don't get me wrong, I love this band and this song but it seems every generation says the same thing in regards to missing a certain decade of music and "they don't make music like that anymore". I grew up during the '60's & '70's, and I say the exact same thing. I miss the music of my era . I'm sure kids born 2010 will be saying "I miss the music of 2030" and "they just don't make music like that anymore". I know my parents hated my music and so on and so on it goes... I find it funny
@Msdistarr oh my gosh - if your theory is true, then in 20 years people will be saying that about Lady Gaga. I shudder to think what can come after her. No offense Gaga fans, but I think I'm gonna go jump out of a window....
@bigfatwhitecat Scary thought isn't it. I hear what your saying but I don't see human behavior changing anytime soon so unless it does, I think those whose taste leans more to the Lady Gaga style of music, will be saying the same thing we are saying now. We are a funny creature aren't we.
All their good material died when their guitar player/song writer, who was a big time junkie, died which was around the release of their first album which had all their good stuff on it. The current band's stuff isn't nearly as good. I used to go see these guys and knew guys in the original band a long, long time ago. Junkie make great music for sure, but they're horrible people to have to be in a band with, let alone be on the road with. Aint it a shame, they produce so much good music
@charliehuka just saw them in concert too for the first time -a freebie outdoor show and I would have paid $50 bucks too. They were phenomenal - way better than I expected.
The obvious difference in the bands of now and then, are that you must be fresh out of high school and attractive to be on the radio anymore. Talent comes second in the music industry now days. New bands I like, hmm. Well, I've reverted to talk radio any time I'm in my car. I don't feel about learning a lesson in love from the Jonas brothers. I think the next evolution is going to be young models posing while electronic beats compose all the music, out with the singing all together.
@505mcasias Exactly. Back in the the day you had adults in their 30's anmd 40's making hit music. Sadly you do not see that anymore due to modern society's obsession with youth and beauty. It's amazing how much things have changed in the past fifteen years.
I completely agree with you! Music of the 90's was SO much better than now. All the bands now just care about their image, and what clothes they're wearing. Talent for sure comes second now days. I honestly never actually knew what the members in Gin Blossoms looked like! I just know every lyric to all their songs, takes me back to high school.
I was a teenager in the 90's...... I miss it.

Doug Hopkins ,{April 11, 1961 – December 5, 1993}.formed the band in 1987 in AZ.He committed suicide, shooting himself while in the early stages of mental health treatment for alcoholism, which occurred shortly after getting a gold disc for Hey Jealousy. He was the lead guitarist and songwritter. He was fired from the band:(

@LLB61959 Yup songs like "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer and "Oops I did it again" make the 90's the best ever decade for music (even though music has been around for thousands of years).

I find it funny how everyone says music isn't what it once was. I specifically remember during my youth in the 1990's, my parents used to diss my favorite bands (namely Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Hootie and the Blowfish, etc.) for not being up to par with what they listened to in the late 60's and mostly the 70's. Now, we look at the music today and say it's not up to par with what we grew up listening to. It seems to be a neverending cycle. Fascinating in my opinion!

@chabrastamepues there's where you're mistaken. My mom listens to classics like Ella Fitzgerald, The Beatles, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. I ended up getting my mom to listen to 90's artists like Mariah Carey, Oasis, and Boyz II Men who have VERY similar styles to the previously mentioned artists. As much as I hate modern day music, there are still diamonds in the rough like The Killers, Temper, Trap, The Roots, and Talib Kweli for example. There is still an ounce of hope.

@chabrastamepues People have said this a lot on Youtube videos.I think in this case it is different.I hear young people saying the same thing. So it's not just a generational thing. The 90s had much more rock and guitar oriented music on the radio. The trend today is more of a hip hop dance sound.
meglaw69 5 months ago
@meglaw69 Yeah, that's the reason. It has nothing to do with lyrics or anything, it is just the lack of rock and guitar oriented music on the radio, or at least, that is why I don't like many newer Top 40 hits.

When it comes to pop act from our era like the boy bands and such we look back at them and remember how much we hated them but still knew all their songs but refused to admit it. 20 yrs from now the same will be said for Bieber and such.

@chabrastamepues Yea, except for it is obvious the quality has gone down simply by listening to the composition. Todays bands make up for lack of talent by throwing guitars around and jumping around the stage. Thats performance, not playing.
There are no guitar solos in todays 'music'. Its all power chords and vanilla melodies. 70s,80s,90s had real guitar players actually doing something with their axe. Not strumming and whining. Pete Townsend had his windmill, but actually played through it

After Hopkins was gone, these guys sounded so vanilla on the nights he was too toasted to play it was ridiculous. Even the tunes he didn't write he arranged, changed the sound. But he was also a pretty miserable human being who would screw over anyone to get a buzz going
DCASU87 1 year ago
I knew these guys when they were just getting started. The creative force in that band, the guy who wrote and arranged all their songs was Doug Hopkins. Unfortunately he was also a junkie and who, as junkies often do, found it easier to kill himself than try to live without the junk. He was the guy who gave the band their sound. Shame he couldn't find another way to deal.
DCASU87 1 year ago 2
@DCASU87 "He was the guy who gave the band their sound. Shame he couldn't find another way to deal." Yeah. It really is so sad. Without him, the Gin Blossoms were not the same. No more good material in my opinion. So many bands wrecked by substance abuse. Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Gin Blossoms are just ones from this time period. New Miserable Experience was a truly great album. I would hope young kids today give it a hear. It beats anything on the radio today.

@g0ldbuG Rosacea, also known as gin blossoms, is a chronic facial skin condition in which capillaries are excessively reactive, leading to redness from flushing or telangiectasia. Rosacea has been mistakenly attributed to alcoholism because of its similar appearance to the temporary flushing of the face that often accompanies the ingestion of alcohol

I freakin love this song. It reminds me of a time shortly after I came out of hospital when I was unable to move my right arm, and I was so desperate to play the guitar again that I made the chord shapes to this song with my left hand on the guitar whilst my brother strummed with his right hand, That was over a decade ago, and my arm's no better. Shame, that. Still, this song brings back a lovely memory.

Don't get me wrong, I love this band and this song but it seems every generation says the same thing in regards to missing a certain decade of music and "they don't make music like that anymore". I grew up during the '60's & '70's, and I say the exact same thing. I miss the music of my era . I'm sure kids born 2010 will be saying "I miss the music of 2030" and "they just don't make music like that anymore". I know my parents hated my music and so on and so on it goes... I find it funny

All their good material died when their guitar player/song writer, who was a big time junkie, died which was around the release of their first album which had all their good stuff on it. The current band's stuff isn't nearly as good. I used to go see these guys and knew guys in the original band a long, long time ago. Junkie make great music for sure, but they're horrible people to have to be in a band with, let alone be on the road with. Aint it a shame, they produce so much good music

The obvious difference in the bands of now and then, are that you must be fresh out of high school and attractive to be on the radio anymore. Talent comes second in the music industry now days. New bands I like, hmm. Well, I've reverted to talk radio any time I'm in my car. I don't feel about learning a lesson in love from the Jonas brothers. I think the next evolution is going to be young models posing while electronic beats compose all the music, out with the singing all together.

@505mcasias Exactly. Back in the the day you had adults in their 30's anmd 40's making hit music. Sadly you do not see that anymore due to modern society's obsession with youth and beauty. It's amazing how much things have changed in the past fifteen years.
