Days of the New 5/6/07 Dancing With The Wind

[09dearprudence]

..trading shells for wings...

[Daronims]

The best song ever!!

[theawesometrain]

Ah I missed this :)

[Ktonrider]

Please release the B sides on album. Please...

[nadinegiglio]

I love his expressions too!!!

[nadinegiglio]

Unbelievable job on this song!!!! Just love it everytime I listen!!

[ayahuascer0]

Here's a song about judgement.

Nothing more to add.

[decadence18]

that Taylor sounds fuckin MEEAAN!! absolutely flawless performance, and an amazing song to boot

[1footunder]

This is clearly Travis Meeks' opus. Amazing song and composition. The Maestro at his best.

[Ktonrider]

How do people not get this? I mean how did music turn into what it is today? How did we go from phenominal talent to absolute garbage now? How does this shit happen? I for one will show my 2 kids what real music and talent is.... They dont know it yet but they will.... Lady gaga, justin beiber, black eyed peas, are you fucking kidding me? Total garbage.... Travis Meeks is pure talent...

[weallcollapse]

I hate it when people compare him to Kurt. Theyre nothing alike. Both artists are/were incredible. Perhaps because both are/were fucked up. Just genius.



[sawdoff1100]

@weallcollapse Yea me to, becasue their is no comparison, If you put them on the same studio to record music, Travis would make Kurt sit in the corner show him how its done, On Guitar Travis would shame Kurt their is no comparison, Vocaly Travis would crush Kurt again, listen to Travis on his eariler shows on here from 1998, Fucking unreal, and he's been doin it since he was a kid. Kurt was was talented but is second rate to Travis. Kurt is mainly popular as he is now becasue he's dead.

[MagCynic]

Whatever happened to him? He arguably had more talent than Kurt Cobain yet nobody in the mainstream has ever even heard of him.

[ricecake2005]

@MagCynic drugs

[ricecake2005]

@MagCynic drugs, that and maybe the music is too complicated for some people, he's not 4 chord steve.

[MsLatigra]

freaking awesome acoustic guitar

[SanityIsSuchADrag]

Sounds almost like the studio version - wow!

[sawdoff1100]

@SanityIsSuchADrag Yea except this version is just travis and his guitar ,so fuckin amazing.

[HowieJH]

definitely the best most most animated live dancin' with the wind video ive ever seen

love his antics for the section of the song at the 5:05 mark

just imagine if Travis could get the funds to get an entire orchestra behind him to do this song live - faces would be melted and left on the floor for the janitor to mop up!

[nizzzefizzze]

@HowieJH

spasm haha

[Jewzilla09]

Three flaccid chodes never got to dance in the wind.

[27419917]

pure art.....tavis is acoustic hendrix

[MattRomeroMusic]

long live Mr. Meeks indeed

[hooponoponogirlz]

Travis Meeks is the defination of...

n maestro [ˈmaistrəu]

(a title given to) a master in one of the arts, especially a musical composer

[SnMhardlove]

fucking pure genius

[DivaRastaMom]

nice

[etemon777]

There's only two people that I've heard in the...."rock".... genre that you could call a musical genius without any exageration. Frank Zappa, and Travis Meeks.

[thepoozer]

my hero

[GuitarRocks23455]

Why was Kurt Cobain so worshiped when Travis has way more talent?

[marclb]

@GuitarRocks23455 I keep asking myself the same question

[Benw911]

@GuitarRocks23455

It's not about talent... everything is about money! The best example is that most of the people think that the electric guitar players they see on TV are the best in the world... just watch some classical guitar players or even guitar students! Most of them are so much more talented but nobody knows them because they're not on TV !! ):

[27419917]

@GuitarRocks23455 travis is better than kurt.....no doubt

[handgunforhillary]

wow truly mind blowing...never wanna here this again. how do people like this guy?

[Childrenofthecornsno]

Travis Meeks proves not every musician is a sellout.... This song is deep man...

[RebornLayneStaley]

Travis needs to go back to singing how do you know you.  The live performence was one of the bestr vocals ever.

[Childrenofthecornsno]

Just listen to those lyrics.... Pure talent

[GuitarRocks23455]

@Childrenofthecornsno I know, i can never get enough of them! they're so dark it gives me chills...

[gutenberg80]

fucking awesome composer...The greatest alive....long life for Mr. Meeks

[sawdoff1100]

Most tanleted human being ever born.

[shanedugas777]

one of the greatest of all time....Mr. Meeks

[daysofthenewfan3]

great song.. way better when you are there though.

[Childrenofthecornsno]

I just keep coming back to this....

[Childrenofthecornsno]

....And I return here for another listen.... This never gets old and i have been Listening since 2001...

[rollzroyce518]

This song melts my face every time!

[jakjapan]

ive been carrying mine in a cup since the first time i heard this. amazing.

[snicklefritz1989]

Great jam

[snicklefritz1989]

awsome....

[LtChapa361]

wow i love this song more then i love my own songs i write

[ocg1990]

does any one know what he is saying in that little thing he does in the middle of the song

[Redmeddle]

No I tried to figure it out but I think its latin. Who knows it isn't written in any lyrics i have found.

[mblovesdotn]

he made it up

[indigonegative]

Nah, that sounds like the album version, not that it makes sense there either. The album has good choir and strings backing him tho.

[mblovesdotn]

@indigonegative - he sings what he sings on the album, but it's made up words. He called it "meeksian".

[mblovesdotn]

ha, it's "Meeksian" - he made it up.

[Jesterhead87]

that live version is so fucking great. I even prefere it to the original on the record

[Redmeddle]

Yeah me too, I have probably come to this video at least 16 times. I show my friends that are capable of appreciating true talent.

[JamesPMorris]

Absolutely phenominal. He is an excellent performer. A huge influence on me. Travis, release Tree Colors so I can listen to Dope Road.

[OtisORA]

I would sell my soul to play this on guitar!!!

[apocalist420]

you should rethink that

[Redmeddle]

I already did! But for a lousy candybar when I was a kid. I wish I was more patient.

[LtChapa361]

me 2

[Corkins79]

Anyone in denver want to jam this music? i play guitar and sing. It would be great to have a lead guitar and back up vocals.

[Corkins79]

Brilliant!! I'm a little slow...

[Corkins79]

I wish this mofo would come to colorado already!! Love his music. Simply Brillant

[Stratocastter]

This song blew my mind! I understand what

pete6907 said as it is sad but true that he who pays the most gets played the most these days. This song is absolutely amazing though. I never knew quite how talented this guy (and his band as well) was and is. I hope for the best for him...

[Stratocastter]

WOW!!!

[curtonya]

I swear, everytime I find a song of travis meeks that I've not heard....I'm astonished!!! I've yet to hear a song of his I dislike

[sawdoff1100]

travis is a legendary muscian wish i could say the same about his video game skills haha he not that bad just not as good as me i try 2 tbag him daily haha not many people can say they tbagged a rock star

[corvetter68]

This man is venerated as one of the most talented acoustic guitar players ever! Man does he ever deserve it. Travis Meeks is one bad Mother Fucker. Though he walks through the valley of the shadow of death he fears no evil, for he is the badest mother fucker in that valley!

[rollzroyce518]

hell yeah this song is an awesome example of his greatness. Fuckin badass motherfucker, i couldn agree more.

[pete6907]

because whom ever pays the most $ gets on the radio these days ...

[washakkkaa]

I'm so Confrizzled.... how come something like this isn't on the radio and other bullshit bands with the same exact message in every single song are?....hmmmmmmmm really tells you about the majority of our population...morons...

[Childrenofthecornsno]

Dude.... This song really moves me

[buffalorivercanoist]

Hey he's alive and well. going to see him play George's Majestic in Fayetteville Ar This Saturday night!!

[JadeSams]

Awseome! Oh yeah

[waltbauer]

his presence has been missing for some years now, all one can hope is that he reemerges in one immortal piece.

[renzoven]

i'm agree with you waltbauer, we miss this incredible musician

[jakktheripped]

fuck this guys talented

[dasdeeboot]

hehehe true, but.... what does it mean?!

[HolyCowItsJaLyN]

when your as talented as him, you can afford to make any kind of face lol

[dasdeeboot]

whats with those faces? lol

[ldenisep]

he's expressive and having some fun...u gotta love it

[1eye4revolution]

holy shit...

Travis is such an awesome talented Musician.

5*s - EXCELLENT

[dasdeeboot]

god..... so amazing

[DevilsAndAirwaves]

Musical types: what tuning is he using? Lotta open chords, I'm noticing.

[muddshovel1]

Looking good T rex

[BURTFURT123]

amazing performance, saw Travis in march in Pennsylvania, rare treat.....

[hs42]

god he's like an angel!

[BornDeathLife]

Fantastic Song. One of His best. Seen him three times and this performance stands out against other live shows

[jamieroxe]

tantric rules!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Andragon90]

Travis is king!

[CreameDeLaCreame]

i absolutely love this song

but i hate the people who are constant;ly yelling out!

[zingerkauf]

I agree...I want to hear the music not the crowd...You think they would have a little restraint / respect to shut the hell up for the artist.

[ocballer17]

Are you shitting me? those lucky mother fuckers don't give a fuck about us losers trying to watch this performance on youtube. If I was blessed enought to be at one of travis's performance I would be screaming my fucking dome off. You would too, dont kid yourself.

[alexencaos]

la puta que suenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaa esta banda este loco es un groso tengo los tres discos, definitivamente no tiene desperdicio ninguno, sin lugar a dudas uno de los secretos mejormente guardado de la industria musical de finales de los 90, por favor escuche estos discos si los consiguen, se llaman Yellow, green y red en ese orden

[francheski]

loco donde los conseguiste?? yo no los encuentro ...soy fana mal de este tipo.

[Fuzzyboy1976]

este tipo se parece a el lider de la banda stravaganzza de espana ,,muy buena en rock especial de el cover de hijo de la lune chequeala aqui en youtube

[engelino]

Is he still take it? greeatings from the polisg fans

[shawnheenan]

oh please travis stay off the drugs and make the purple album the music world needs it right now it really does

[urudufusmisrael]

Travis has been clean for years now ...

[msmindless23]

For those of you who asked of copies of the travis/velvet revolver songs i'm sorry i don't have them. I heard them on an ipod of a friend who was very close with the band.

[Childrenofthecornsno]

God I love this song.... I just hate the fact that I could never even come close to understanding what he was thinking when he wrote this. The man is a GENIUS

[shawnheenan]

id rather not even see travis try out for that whether i believe it or not

[r3drumurd3r187]

F--king amazing.

Pure talent.

[msmindless23]

if any of you have heard the recorded tryouts travis did with velvet revolver you probably wouldn't want him singing with them. it just didn't flow. travis is better doing his own thing.

[Dunford00]

he tried out for them? where did you hear it???

[BoBaLu420]

where can I hear said tapes, my curiosity burns.

[AnxietyDilemma]

I like this stripped down version far more than the album version. That intro is sweet

[shawnheenan]

should not sing in velvet revolver Travis Meeks is way too good for that shit needs to make the purple album

[BoBaLu420]

First words I said to this man "Dancing with the wind was fucking amazing" .

[daysofthenewfan3]

Hell yes!! I heard this song live!

[CantrellJr]

i think this guy should be lead singing in velvet revolver

[marclb]

he is on a league of his own, he wouldnt blend with them. Not his style this guy is all acoustic

[LittleGreenBazooka]

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[strawberrycough419]

The faces he makes are priceless! Awesome fucking song!!!!

[asianporn13]

dude this song is one of the greatest songs i've ever heard

anyone know where i can find a guitar tab for it?

[dawndebris1979]

Epiphany. That's what happens when I see this guy playing. By far, the best songwriter ever. It seems like an eternity to wait for "Purple".

[Jibsey15]

amen to that.

[shawnheenan]

fuckin right i agree bring on the purple album its been too long for that kind of genius to go on without doing anything travis fuckin rocks way too much

[Shannonhopf1]

I love this man and his talent!!!! I agree more tunes needed by him!!

[decadence18]

This video kicks ASS, as quite a few of these recent posts I listen to this song daily,absolutely amazing to say the least I really want to see how the purple album turns out I would love to see more videos from this paticular concert Cheers to all DOTN/Travis Meeks fans

[LoBoExtreme]

maestro meeks

[eliminate08]

I am sure i am not the only guitarist that based their playing after Travis Meeks and Whitener. I was one of the most pissed of SOB's when Travis took over the band all by his lonesome. It took awhile, but i have finally heard somethin out of the ordeal.

Bad ASS! From one of DON's true fans from day 1.

[BoBaLu420]

Know you indeed aren't. And Todd is doing the song writing in Interchange now. So all is well. Both get to express more, independently.

[austinjam76]

saw Travis in this format in San Antonio in February.... so freaking amazing. I watch this video almost daily.

THE WATER DROWNS!!!

[jcrm05]

I would love to meet this guy, but I guess he will not be coming to my country, damn!

Travis is soooooo goood, love his work one of the best musicians I have ever heard.

[Gothicness67]

Dude this guy is soo awsome!

[BoBaLu420]

I seriously watch this all the time.

[Blown4v]

me too, haha

[kevinAIC33]

this song is bad ass

[shawnheenan]

a fuckin god

[dogfarmtexan]

friggin awesome performance

[genocia]

i fucking felt this...

[magraumsv]

Travis Meeks f genius

[corryadaam]

an absolute genius, is Travis Meeks.

[travismeeksisgod]

i was going to go to the new years eve show in mainebut i dont know what happened, cant

[Unknownbmxr]

sounds like a song about his struggle with meth."you will kill yourself"

[shawnheenan]

no one compares to travis meeks just an amazing songwriter and performer

[cryogenics66]

Dude, I like his music. It's better that it's underground, feels like my little secret....

[guanding42]

I stand corrected its the station in portland, ME.

[abaseraserhead]

friggin' a.... i was trying to get my friend to take me to this concert, but he didnt want to go.

[guanding42]

Travis meeks is absolutely amazing i got the chance to see him in maine at the strand early 2007, was supposed to play new years eve too at end of year but it never happened, he was amazing there were about 100 ppl there and htey were all true fans he did this and die born all amazing.

[briandg1968]

Great talent. Am I wrong in thinking he should have made Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists of all time? He must have been 101??

[Sangrelyon]

That rolling Stone's list is the biggest piece of crap ever...I won't even start talking about it...

But yes, i totally agree with you, he's a great guitar player...

[luvmusic10]

Never heard of this song before but I LOVE IT. Can't stop listening to it. What album is this from?

[knoxtaper]

The RED album

[BoBaLu420]

taylor

[jadogsells]

can any one tell me what type of guitar he uses? it looks like either a gibson or taylor....

[swikk1974]

kennedy-call me

[shawnheenan]

travis is a guitar god am i right or what

[hellrockisthe1]

Cna anyone tab this out please. even if its not perfect?

[kndrice]

stirs the soul--let's hope there's more to come

[comscom]

days of the new is Big in the philippines!!!!

[dalair]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! the man/band that made me pick up the guitar!!! and i finallly get to see them this october 1st after 8 years!!!! FREAKING DAYS OF THE FREAKING NEW!!! awsome video

[kingbriani]

dude, that was awesome! im ecstatic travis is clean now. i hope he continues to make music for a very very long time. I'd have to agree with the folks saying he's a musical genius.

[ajgrimdogg]

He is very good songwriter. Pretty good singer and player too. I am not sure that he is a genius. He seems that he is clean on this video. Lets hope he can stay that way for some time so he can earn a decent living again.

[Mestitia]

=OO This is MUSIC!

[dave551]

the most underrated musical genius for some time.

[luvmusic10]

He is pure genius but I don't think he was underrated. How many people get the opportunity to open for Metallica at age 16. They knew back then that this guy is the real deal.

[c4dd0ck]

the most underrated musical genius of all time.

[Blown4v]

AMEN...

[niap22]

please travis come to poland i now you dont know where it is but please come to europe you have not a lot of fans here but the real one....

[cowchux]

[Jesterhead87]

[aarongabbard]

[supershit666]

[orizendesigns]

this is freaking awesome!

thanks for uploading this - Travis has done here a hell of show - i like the "choir" stuff he did in the middle!

[FlightResponse2]

good show and great song and glad seeing travis and the guys touring hopefully purple comes out real soon hehe
