The Offspring - Gone Away (live)

[santinodemarco]

Its true that this song was written after the dexter girl died in a car crash?

Someone know this history? Have the facts and details or the girlfriend's name?

[gvarzan]

respect from slovakia. offspring pocuvam od svojich 8 rokov a je super (google translator: slovakia -english)

[MsRexamillion]

i reach to the sky .......and call out your name.......awesome lyrics ,hit my heart i losy my mommy and grandmy.thumbs up if u lost someone and know theyre in a better place!

[pussbuketnott06]

These guys have made it, they made it a long time ago :D

[uppunkandrockforever]

Gone away...Gone away yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!

[tliang1000isback]

1 of d best versions live!

[chavezglassworks]

@tliang1000isback lol you think it is live lmao, just the video not the audio is live this song is clearly recorded.

[DragonSyndicate1]

@chavezglassworks This is a live performance, but it should be noted that there is always some Post-Production when you're releasing something like a DVD/VHS...Npthing released on that level is every completely raw., and there's nothing wrong with that if it's doing justice to the song like in this situation. It's just a means of helping getting the song to a wider range of ears, that's all...every artist does it.

[robertozod]

great band and song

[kamp86]

Dexter for President.

[kkoommaa69]

かっこいい！！！

[agoon88]

I hate when bands change the key to the songs live still good it just doesnt sound the same

[MsBraun5]

bella bella bella.............uuuuuuuuuuuu­hhhhhhhhhhhh 

[ardhanaification]

i like it



[rookieguitarguy]

awesome song!

but somebody needs to reach and take the trampoline out from under the guy in the yellow boots.

[rbolo29]

Turn up the volume and kick ass!

[danhtown1]

The guy with the yellow rain boots jumping up and down is absolutely epic

[pazim2]

essa musica me traz recordaçoes booas

[joeylenseigne120]

hes performing for stupid ass russians

[joeylenseigne120]

hahah no one notices that this is just a film of the actual live thing and its just playing a recording of the song

[1thinkexist1]

@joeylenseigne120 That's where it's awesome: this is a recording of only the instruments and vocals of the song. Listen to the album version, it's much different to this. A slower tempo for one thing.

[sexyEmma4u]

Its only the likes of bands such as OFFSPRING and EARTH CULTURE that have restored my faith in kick ass honest music!!

[jmill2828er]

@sexyEmma4u

2 bands: 1)The Parlor Mob 2) Radiohead

[EdisZidane]

0:48 Holy shit he's got his yellow boots on!!!

[metaldrummer33]

haha click 2:00

[xVampiraLustX]

Question: Does he say: "Mercy your soul or I'll save your soul"? Thanx in advaced! <3

[99jollyrancher]

@xVampiraLustX at what part

[1a2b3cman]

@xVampiraLustX

man google the lyrics, their isnt anything in this lyrics like that

[thearachnid09]

@xVampiraLustX i'll save your soul.

[bzagar1]

@thearachnid09 You're aren't competent to do that

[thearachnid09]

@bzagar1 I was saying the lyrics. Not that ill actually do that. lol....

[bzagar1]

@thearachnid09 Oh, awright. Cool

[99jollyrancher]

poor dexter!!):

[professionalkillergk]

@99jollyrancher why?

[99jollyrancher]

@professionalkillergk because this song is about his wife who died.

[Allofmeiam]

im a big fan but is it me or are they rushing this song? i have noticed that on a few others that are live.

[RFresh41]

@GodChristLord When you play in a band jumping around multiplies the fun by about 1.7 billion, does the same for your live audience too.

[whis1]

this is one of the good ones

[drunkmonk98]

i still love these guys

[shuank]

So much feeling, without being emo! =D

[GodChristLord]

Cool song, but what is cool about continually hopping six inches of the ground?

[chainsawkitty1]

ITS CALLED REALLY GETTING IN TO IT F-TARD!!!

YOUR NOT IN A BAND, SO YOU WOULDNT UNDERSTAND!!!

[GodChristLord]

@chainsawkitty1

[99jollyrancher]

@GodChristLord they're awesome thats why they have so much energy

[joeylenseigne120]

the 648 likes should kill the 11 dislikes

[matttuck5]

The guitar sound in this reminds me of some new order stuff.

[joeylenseigne120]

it sounds so sucky without sound bits

[lalaman1899]

I guess if music doesn't work out for Dexter, he can always fall back on his Ph. D. in Molecular Biology. This guy is a genius.

[mmtot]

@lalaman1899 The guy has like 4 planes, what do you mean "doesn't work out "?

[RadioactiveRampage]

@lalaman1899 Dexter Holland was the class valedictorian at Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, California and was a Ph.D. candidate in Molecular Biology from the University of Southern California; however, he abandoned his Ph.D. in favor of focusing on The Offspring. He has a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Master's degree in Molecular Biology, both from the University of Southern California.

It's a shame he didn't actually get the Ph. D. but he is still incredibly smart and gifted.

[RadioactiveRampage]

@RadioactiveRampage Dexter Holland is also a licensed Airline Transport Pilot and as of April 2009, a Certified Flight Instructor who has made a solo trip around the world in ten days.

[khryz227]

@lalaman1899 Haha, it already worked REALLY great for them like... I don't know... before I was even borned? Like 20 years ago?

[JakeSaint95]

@lalaman1899 I would say music did work out for Dexter but i know what you mean

[rogerstan]

I love the jumping.."offspring"...This is an incredible song the lyrics are so profound...I just love it..I will be singing this with my band soon..

[furryatp]

who is the guy in the back?

[MaxxHark]

@furryatp Chris "X-13" Higgins. He often toured with the Offspring from the early 90s until 2005 as a backup singer, 3rd guitarist, auxillary percussionist, and keyboard player. He quit touring with them in 2005, but apparently sings backup on some of the songs on the newest album.

[ColorsBright]

Gone Away and Nitro are Offsprings best songs!

[honhon05]

gotta love the good ole' days of bands consistantly jumping while playing... everyone is too worried about getting hurt now a days...

[martiallaw04]

offspring=legend..enough said

[cyberdog122]

@martiallaw04 HELL YEAHHHH!!!!

[vampiralust1]

i don't ever wanna see the offspring dudes wearing black-eyeliner unlike green day an damongs other emo bands

[Daniel866211]

I did not know the offspring wrote this song and I feel like an idiot for saying that.

[manateeswillrule]

i love higgens hes like the happiest dude in the band

[123qwe123qwe45]

I don't care if it's punk or it is a techno - just if i see that The Offspring make it - it must be good.

[ZOMBIEBASSIST95]

THAT BASS IS SICK!!!

[Daniel866211]

@ZOMBIEBASSIST95 You are right that bass rips.

[edisfoamy]

I take back what i said, all in the favor Withnuts is stupid!

[921musicman]

such a sick version... <3

[onesick77]

This is true punk

[matthewdw94]

they are soooo goood live. and shut the fuck up with your bitch ass punk or not arguments

[bagofvomit]

Good band, good song. Why waste so much energy arguing about if they're punk or not? Who gives a fuck? Calm down and try to enjoy life. Shit heads.

[Yuliynha]

They gotta come back to Brazil soon!! Love them!!

[funkypandaX]

[xorn95]

Wasn't this song written after Dexter Holland lost his wife to a car accident?

[luksvasco]

[SnowSkateFTW]

[Reapent]

[BROKEPIMPIN]

[KCShisho]

This is one of my favorite songs by them and live too

[zachjones225]

[Libra28K]

Awesome song, with simple but powerful lyrics, especially if someone you cared about is no longer here.

[MartaHetfield]

Wonderful song!

[OverlordGfetGalleon]

[squeakedout]

[s1ms84]

simple things are the best sometime!!

[jrack13]

they made so much cash from the simplest of riffs

[harmonizethelord9]

Don't get this dvd Huck it and Americana have bad graphics and camera angles just get the complete offspring music video collection DVD

[mrBelfegorr]

@harmonizethelord9 yes??but the sound is really good after all

[nycskool50]

The Offspring RULE! Dexter is a rock GOD...and Noodles is just an amazing guitarist!!!

[66gore6]

Don't forget greg k, he is a solid bass player and it's a damn shame ron is now gone..

[MuddahFukkah]

wow. now I can see it was raining when they played... pretty dangerous to play electric instruments. :D

[TreJ112]

LMFAO, Who the fuck is the guy with the green shoes?

[spiketeen99]

that would be Higgins......

he does back up vocals guitar and electronics

[Alessiam1985]

PIano version yesterday night in Italy was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[darkhell00]

Sono pienamente d'accordo!!!! Dexter Holland Rulez!!!!

[Renaultm00]

piano version is better *__*

[smokerdalejash]

here in australia during the 90s offspring were absolutly huge i remember listening to ixnay on the ombry over and over again you dont here good albums like that now sadly

[TheLittleLegionnaire]

agree with you there entirely

there are a few good albums still put out, but far and few between

[1xcrosswordx1]

proves that a punk group can put out this shit without being emo. extra props to offspring for this one

[bassistfromholland]

agreed, emo's are just down on life, but the offspring tell it how it is, and they kick ass at doing it

[MMB112009]

@1xcrosswordx1 well said offspring is awesome

[jmill2828er]

@1xcrosswordx1... emo??? dude the offspring is way before emo thats for sure, im sure u know that.. emo is pathetic. i remember when they hit it big in the early 90's i loved them. i still do like them.

[peacexisxfree]

@1xcrosswordx1 a punk group? you think this is a punk group? oh, jesus christ. sad, pathetic little boy you are.

[WithNuts]

@peacexisxfree Yeah, and what the fuck would you call since you know so fucking much about what punk is? Surely not peace, that's what. Peace comes with a fucking price these days, didn't you know? Take your punk philosophies and words of wisdom to another video. It doesn't take a certain sound to define what punk is. Jesus fucking Christ, you're retarded. If you knew anything about music, you'd probably get the fucking sound-stereotype out of your fucking pragmatic asshole. Fucking retard.

[peacexisxfree]

@WithNuts no, it doesn't take a certain sound. but it does take certain lyrical sentiments. which this band no longer has. thanks for playing, though, "withnuts" for brains.

[WithNuts]

@peacexisxfree "Punk" lyrics, huh? You might as well call Bright Eyes punk then. Of course, since you're picky, it's going to take a lot more then punk lyrics to satisfy someone whose as presumptuous as you are. "Punk" isn't a form of music, and every one seems to be able to grasp that except for you.

[peacexisxfree]

@WithNuts since you've told me everything punk isn't, why don't you tell me what it is? it's obviously something, now isn't it? if it's not a genre, and it's not lyrical sentiment(not necessarily synonymous with content), and it's not a commodity...then what then is it? and what is "punk" about offspring post 1988?

do you call iron maiden easy listening, or 50 cent ska? other than "you're wrong", and mocking what i say, you've said nothing. 

[Radiscool1]

@1xcrosswordx1 Emos cry about this shit and don't move on. People that aren't emo get back up when they're knocked down, but The Offspring is like they never got knocked down in the first place :P

[MiamiWill3]

@Radiscool1 yeah but they did go bankrupt a few years back....cant wait for thier new album there working on

[BisphamTangerine]

amazing song about a truly tragic event.

saw them live last night and they did the piano version of this.

seriously, it was tear in the eye stuff.

[tonigameiro21]

I can't believe how many many crappy songs are so overated, this is a perfect song, so awsome....The Offspring are a really great band!

[ashleyfellows23]

This has to be my favorite song ever. Throughout the years this song has been a part of my life and will always be

[acdcman900]

why do they tune down a key live?

[Sevenchappels]

It's more easy to sing...

[MuddahFukkah]

they tune down because of Dexter

[rimticketts]

so its easier 4 dexter 2 sing

[rimticketts]

i like this version better than the original. my most fave ever song tho. the piano version is awesome. makes it so sad

[lleessi]

Amazing!!

[Sircob4]

amazingly done

the offspring rule

[marcv54]

higgins didnt go on shit is fucked up tour cuz he decided to be with his family

[mark733]

is xximnotok2118xx an idiot.. He is the stage backing vocalist and guitarist. He practically is in the band. And they all rock

[Hammerhead109]

right... Chris Higgins alias X13 did so much for them... videos and sometimes the keyboard... just great -.-

[maciekk1111]

ixnay... my childhood ....

[diin7]

to answer your question on what guitar he is using i think it is a Fender jaguar

[BeattieBullet94]

@diin7 Its an ibanez talman i think

[ilovezebras1]

went to the show here in phoenix june first. and dexter played this on the piano. fuckin sick. best show i have been too. GO OFFSPRING!

[Cnelson720]

what guitar is noodles using?

[Sevenchappels]

Ibanez NDM1 Talman Noodles signature guitar.

[xximnotok2118xx]

i hate the guy tht just jumps and thinks hes in the band

[haffira]

he's their sound manager. he's been there since back before, he is part of the band during live performances.

[teszab]

jumping motherfucker at 2:05

[Renaultm00]

XDDDDD

[himlermaster]

offspring go guys

[daltons08]

love this band!

[TehPsychoCeramic]

lol good performance but fucking gay jumping

[mashrur88]

They played this at Gilford, NH this Saturday. I LOVE the piano version. While the original is great, I think the piano version is just great.

[Guitarfreak5543]

yea man the piano version was good too. i was at gilford toit was funny how dexter was having fun with the crowd before it haha and how he played charlie brown before such a great show both sum 41 and offspring were sick

[hatchetridda]

The same happened in Irvine! It was hilarious xD. But it was with the Alkaline Trio instead of Sum 41 :(.

Awesome show though. The Offspring rocks!! Best band ever :)

[extrememan123]

when was this?

[euvi85]

I saw them last week. I wish they would have did the actual version of this song as it is my favorite offspring song. didn't care much for the piano version.

[Sircob4]

i saw them they were amazing i like both versions

[greendayfrk24]

SEE YOU GUYS TONIGHT!!!! :D

[gibsonsg1423]

your so lucky. i can't see them becuase i live in australia. DAM!

[SoPrediktable]

dexter still looks like hes 23 lol in reality hes 43. Offspring fave band since i was 7 :)

[ejhandler]

Chris X-13 Higgins!!!

[RonB999]

Who's the old guy with the yellow shoes?

[RougeShingami]

i know wtf he wasnt at the concert i saw but there was another guitar player so wtf
