[Enkiguy]

guys im a new listener of dax. there is a song called filling empty holes that i can not find in discography. does it go by another name or is it something he has only done live?

[1972paperslave]

this song and heartbreak hotel better then the album versions.

[aloneinfear]

say good nigth to the world.....

[IndieMom6]

He sounds a lot like Jim Morrison. I love this!

[renegadeincogneto90]

He has an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!

[danceBaetzel]

perfect session! song and video is excellent!!!

[roastbeefdinner]

i can not share this because a bunch of losers from facebook might hear it and ruin.

[gallakorn]

Love his voice...awsome

[gallakorn]

Love is voice

[4645Chris]

after acid bath he reminds me of jim morrison heavier

[Snoopaloop1981]

this guys voice is awesome, I like acid bath better but this is really good

[bigboppa8]

Long live the king!!!

[braindrain13]

I first saw Dax Riggs back in '95 when he was with Acid Bath. They were opening for D.R.I. in El Paso, TX!!! A.B. were way more memorable than D.R.I.!!! It was one of the best performances I've ever seen!! Dax is one of the most talented musicians in Rock!!! Just my humble opinion...

[DarthMohammed]

Dax is what Jim Morrison wanted to be.

[4645Chris]

@DarthMohammed i did not even see your comment when I posted mine but that makes perfect sence

[DarthMohammed]

@4645Chris Good call.

[rsaterstad]

awesome guys! just awesome.. Little bit of Stone Temple Pilots influence? but better. I may be wrong.

[scumgrinder]

@rsaterstad they are way too small i think...theres much more going on here in my opinion.

[satanschild1974]

good song i havent heard anything new from dax in a long time...keep up the good work!!

[wanderer1031]

my 4 month old lit'l girl just stopped eating to sit up and experience this...she doesnt quit eating, without crying, for much...

[tinagrules]

i love Dax. this is great!

[ThePitGoddess]

Genius!



[fingersmkj]

it's great, but lots of reverb.

[SmashAttackOnline]

And?

[Jryan4283]

Dax Riggs is great live!

[xpLiCitLoriSsa]

Dax! Keep it cuming luv <3

[sainiuil88]

@SmashAttackOnline I'm gonna have to agree with you there. Obviously the studio stuff is fantastic too, but they just kill it live.

[sainiuil88]

Dax is fucking incredible, it was an absolute treat to see him live. Been following his work since Acid Bath, he's a true artist.

[jujubean55]

BEST SONG EVER!!!!

[daveandbruceprod]

Julien Primeaux on guitar!

[Kendrothalamus]

I can only hope to find a person as talented and layed back as Dax to sing in my future full band. right now I'm doing the 1 man band thing.

[TheMightyZooblin]

@Kendrothalamus Good luck with that one man. lol.

[buefordwilson]

I have followed everything he's done since the Acid Bath days and have never been disappointed. Killer voice, killer writing and his backing band is sweet. Going to see him again on Dec. 4th and can't wait!

[megabassinvader]

His voice is phenomenal!! <3

[jujubean55]

afuckingmazing

[ACDCrocks051]

Jack White listens to Dax and cries

[SmashAttackOnline]

@ACDCrocks051 They should form a band together and just call it "Sex"

[mollyskum]

@ACDCrocks051 cause he cries every time he ejaculates ;)

[steptb2]

I find this better than the album version. And Dax is one of the best rock singers of the last 20 years.

[SmashAttackOnline]

@steptb2 It is better, when playing this style of music he (and apparently his band!) tends to far outshine studio work when playing live.

[thepanagiot]

I can find only awsomeness in this video.Only awsomeness.

[NealAGray]

GREAT SONG, GREAT VOCALS, GREAT MIXING.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAX 1973

[PigDestroyer101]

@ChordsFromTheVoid plz do this to all his songs thanks , haha

[WaywardMoonChild]

His voice is majestic and I see that he doesn't sing with his hand in his pocket anymore :)

[hellboyhitscar]

Dax is my fucking hero. No one, NO ONE can touch this mans talent. All HAIL!

[ocopot1]

Dax is just sorta that damn good :)

[PigDestroyer101]

the drums sound so crisp

[averyg77]

last time i saw Dax was at a blockbuster when we still had em

[Graysonb1234]

my band opened up for him a week or two ago :)

[13DeadDaisies]

I've always wondered what Dax would look like with no eyebrows. :P

[hearya17]

@johnnybrannan Everyone is playing together in one room, no headphones, no overdubs, no edits or fixes. There were a few people watching on the other side of the glass. Other than being at a club, I don't know how much more "Live" it could be.

[johnnybrannan]

@hearya17 i apologize for my inaccurate comment. it's a great video.

[rryuan]

hearya17, bring them back. Chain your studio doors shut and don't let them leave. This is amazing. 

[DoomKitty]

he fucken rules...



[rlt34]

wish this song was approx. 8 minutes longer

[JessieAV1LA]

Very well done. I like this.

[pearljambuff]

This is such a great video. Thank you so much for posting it.

[emisometimes]

@eveonastick - I have a good friend from ville platte, one in pineville & a few in Houma, so I'm with you on that one :) Acid Bath was huge there & Dax is & always will be huge in my eyes. @StiffCadaver...in my eyes, nothing will EVER come close to Dax.

[StiffCadaver84]

Yeah!!!! Im still searching and i have yet to find anything!! that comes close to this, Am i dead because this sure feels like HELL to me. Heaven can wait!

[sheeshapie]

This sonofabitch is flawless.

[svchost6]

like it

[eveonastick]

I listen to this almost daily, I'm from ville platte... everyone i know, hasn't heard of acid bath or daxx riggs... daxx you're the cajun abomidable snow man.

[jujubean55]

I swear to god i really am in love with Dax.

[TheKnsy2k]

so relaxing...this would be good as a movie soundtrack

[TheGreatKaffur]

Better than the rest....Dax Riggs. 4 sure....

[Burnyoursins]

This is perfectly done. Seriously, his vocals are perfect.

[ekbalam0121]

Dax Riggs Blowing minds in the morning, I cant wait for the night!



[frizzybob]

id like to go inside his head... just for a minute

[cenadriana]

dax riggs...will you marry me???? lol

[Zoombobwhey]

goddam he's hawt as fuck

[lmwilberding]

Otherworldly, incredible, wow just wow

[fwdmpg]

how could you dislike this video??? or song for that matter? I just got done recording a cover of Dax's Dog Headed Whore (in my videos). I would have to say that as an artist, his music has inspired me most over the last several years. I can't hold a candle to his voice but I love singing his tunes...

[Eurydicesong]

Hot damn

[jabuhrer1]

Love the Black Sabbath style riff at 2:34. Cut class and drop acid, kids.

[ChordsFromTheVoid]

this is just fucking AWESOME thx, great job with the mixing too!!!

[hearya17]

@ChordsFromTheVoid Thanks for the kind words! I had a lot of fun recording/mixing this one.

[nstygatr]

I dig it

[powercamaro87]

i do believe he was a much more greater vocalist with Acid Bath, unfortunate events occurred with acid bath and put a halt to what could have been dax riggs best performance including his entire career, but i do have to appreciate him as an artist to continue onward regardless of previous events and doing what he loves to do

[deadgamer42]

@powercamaro87 A lil late with the response but. Acid Bath is the shit, and Dax is a fucking god... I might be getting old but I feel his talent is better expressed clean. I still rock acid bath at least 3 or 4 times a week but his acoustic stuff is the fucking shit. Dont get me wrong, im not disagreeing with you but... Demon Tied to Chair in My Brain? Fuckin epic FOREVER DAX AND ACID BATH \m/ o.o \m/

[deth2christ666]

i really hope he sticks with this lineup. the new album is some of his best work imo.

[fire77girl]

I have been listening to Dax every day from one project to the next since 1994 and I cannot get enough of his voice. <3

[jujubean55]

I WISH HE WOULD COME TO LOUISVILLE,HE HAS A BIG FOLLOWING HERE...C'MON DAX!

[SmashAttackOnline]

If someone providing this performance tells me to eat beer nuts....I WILL EAT...BEER NUTS!!!!

[Kroy5312]

I saw Dax live last week in Brooklyn. Great fuckin show! Hearing his vocals up close and live was an experience that everyone should have, but unfortunately wont. Because for some reason true talents like Dax go unrecognized by the masses. It kills me how he is not more popular. Selfishly as a fan it is good that he will never "sell out" and only write and sing the way he wants to, but at the same time I would love to see him hit mainstream success and get rich because he deserves it!

[stickelliott13]

wow! the house that dax built!!! thanx so much for posting this!! ive watched this and had all my friends to watch it..

[stickelliott13]

i saw dax at the nashville show on april 27 2011 and he never has a bad night vocally..he is such a great talent..he should be huge..the huge record companies promote the wrong people..i am forever a dax fan..i love the acid bath stuff and everything after..

[melissa51184]

in my personal opinion Dax is the most versitile vocalist in the business, i am completely down w/ anything he does. this video is on of the greats, for a live recording, dude they were perfect. loves it peace

[TheSDBSickeness]

Dax is the best

[MrSpango]

Spanish moon on the 14'th! Jeah!!

[Schism06]

This is easily one of the best things on Youtube.

[CyanideSovereign]

I'm new to Dax's solo stuff and was wondering if he kept the rage. Any of his new stuff as heavy as Acid bath?

[CyanideSovereign]

I'm new to Dax's solo stuff and was wondering if he kept the rage. Any of his new stuff as heavy as Acid bath?

[jjbell777]

I just saw him live last night and he sang this song so beautifly. Im in love with his singing. He sounds just like this live :)

[hearya17]

@jjbell777 Althouogh it takes place in a studio, this recording was all live. No overdubs or fixes. I recorded and mixed it and can honestly say I had to do very very little to get Dax' vocal to sit in the mix.  He's got loads of talent. Such a powerful vocalist! The band rocks hard too!

[dawnvicknair]

@hearya17 Dax is so talented! I love his voice and have been a fan since about 1990 the first time I heard him sing at Jonny C's house in Metairie. I was 16 at the time. I actually would stand outside of clubs he was performing just to hear him cause I was to young to get in. There were also many shows I can remember that Acid Bath played that Dax and I both had a big X on our hand because we were not 21 yet. Dam I love that mans voice! R.I.P Audie Pitre

[Rougarou13]

@hearya17 I wish more people could hear this.

[79waldo666]

@jjbell777 lucky muthafuka i dont think hell ever come to australia

[melefic1e]

the only problem i see is his mouth opens up too wide for a singer, but over all i think he can make it

[hearya17]

@melefic1e That is the most amazing comment......

[goldenappleoferis]

@melefic1e he has been "making it" for MANY MANY years already without your approval LOL!

[vajitarian]

@melefic1e your ignorance is overwhelming.

[dondoobious]

My ears just left a gooey mess of music spooge all over the place. anyone got a towel?

[StiffCadaver84]

How do you define talent? When Dax defies the impossible in every breath. This man is the core of everything a musician has to offer.

[138DeadBoy]

My girlfriend introduced me to Dax. Now I like this a lot

[ihavenolegs1986]

jesus.

[wattsun]

Unlike most of recording artists today :Dax Riggs Vox No Auto tune needed.

[pearljambuff]

The most amazing voice ever...

[KayeFierce]

A god in my opinon. 

[Rayne4570]

Fukn Sa-Weet !!

[tinntrampet]

I definitely need this on vinyl

[tinntrampet]

Pure Awesomeness !!!

[MadMindStudios]

I broke the Replay Button!

[theseamysolace]

Charley Siess

Kevin Fitzsimmons

Julian Primeaux

...The 3 best choices Dax has ever made

[rosenscharf]

@theseamysolace Is that one guy related to the Fitzsimmons from "Iron & Wine"?

[theseamysolace]

@rosenscharf I think you are thinking of William Fitzsimmons... He is not associated with Iron & Wine, just kinda looks and sounds a little like Sam Beam who is the man behind Iron & Wine. Not sure if Kevin and William are related, doubt it

[dismemberedANDmolese]

fuck obama DAXX RIGGS for president

[sonatangel]

AWESOME! fantastisk vokal! :D

[l2ose12]

If this music was in the shape of mortal man, I'd do aaalllll sorts of things to it

[StiffCadaver84]

Hands down the best vocalist in my opinion.

[goldenappleoferis]

@StiffCadaver84 AGREE times a MILLION!! Love Dax sooooo much!!

[colebrandon101]

@StiffCadaver84 i dont think theres such a thing just like theres no such thing as the most beautiful girl in the world u know

[BlackSabbathory]

@StiffCadaver84 Yes, I agree, and I listen to a wide range of vocalists -- Tim Buckley, Freddie Mercury, Marvin Gaye just to name 3 -- and Dax is by far my favorite.

[Deamonwarp]

@StiffCadaver84 correction, best LIVING vocalist. dont get me wrong. deadboy owns my soul.

[ronniefavors]

@StiffCadaver84 Yep I agree

[NearXLifeXExperience]

@StiffCadaver84 Him and Morrison. In my opinion. Regarding lyrics. This has a big doors feel to me. And that is awesome.

[pfitzsnuggly]

@StiffCadaver84 The best that no one has ever heard of for sure.

[eldiablo385]

You're my best friend Dax Riggs

[SalientBen]

rather addicted to the new album, then you find this and just sink a little deeper into it. Awesome.

[ssJotaku]

This song makes me feel like I'm going to be old any minute.

[GoreWhoreMichelle]

[4everblowinbubbles0]

@codyincharge Oct 30 New Orleans AND Nov 13th Lafayette. LOUISIANA!!

[solomonopoly]

Now that's the way that the sorcerer says Goodnight To The World! Yes yes yes.

Burn this shit into my neurons all night long.

Twist the frequency.

Choke reality.

Bliss.

[MsMaryann86]

[rparas34]

Soundtrack to your murder.

[Funkofmind]
