when i was 13 this song resonated in my mind as something kind and reminded me of this girl years later she turned out to be a soul stealing succubus... i looked this song up again after all the years and realized what its really talking about... he's right i shoulda killed that BITCH!!

""It's just a story I heard long ago; it's just a really cool, eerie lake, and some stuff I heard and some stuff I just make up. I tend to do that. They dammed up this big river up there, and it's got all these spooky names like Hell's Gate. It's really cool." -Todd Lewis (the guy singing right now)
Anybody remember watching them at the Engine Room off Vickery in FTW for $2.00 at the door and they loved our "novelty item" fake Louisiana IDs when we were 15-16 yrs old? Kick ass. I'd do it again, and again, and again....
Fucking dumb people I swear... This song is about a rape/murder that happened at a lake in Texas called POSSUM KINGDOM. Jesus Christ stop seeing things that aren't actually there!!!!
I do not know what you people are thinking or talking about in relation to the song's meaning. There has never been any mystery to it after listening to the lyrics, seeing the music video, and listening to the band being questioned about the song.
Its about a guy with an unstable love for a woman/women, and probably many women, who takes them out to lake to get know them and perhaps seduce them, and then at some point snaps/lashes out and kills them. As far as I can tell he kills her/them because he is looking for something so deeply meaningful to himself inside of this/these person/people that it drives him crazy when he can't see it or stops being able to see it within them, and so they cease to be his angel or alive. Fin.
@bradkf70 I've always thought it was sung from the perspective of a vampire too. I said that to some friends last week and it had never occurred to them.
I am no musical expert, but I believe late 90s Mötley Crüe was possible (at least partly) because of this band. Perhaps the Crüe guys should one day play one of the Toadies songs as a belated thank you.
i heard this on the radio today and was like whoa this band is actually doing something different and sounds really refreshing! i got home really exited to look up the band and was some what disappointed to find out that this came out in the 90's. of course that made perfect sense because it does have the feel of that era and but to think that if this came out as a new song today and still sound fresh says something about this song, two thumbs up still glad i found it
All u you homos sayin this song "rocked" and "grunge is dead" news to wake up. This shit will never fade out in my book . Saw them last year here in Houston at house of blues. I grew on this . I will see them till there dead. Might I add they still put on a sick Ass show
Toadies were my first concert. They play so well live it's incredible. I've only seen about a dozen big bands play but I've seen the toadies 3 times and they played the best live.
kinda nervous aint e...its cute its still classic toadies original lineup...YEEAAHHH!...sadly i was too young to go their show in DALLAS cuz FT>WORTH kinda sucks...bye
i am hearing different things. some say this song is about vampires, some say a badass serial killer, some say incest... and one said they read an article where the band said it was about a story they heard. idk.... what do you think?
@erlcly02 That's hilarious! I had the words "my sweet angel" stuck in my head this morning and I had no idea where they came from, so I did some searching online, and when I found this song I realized: "Oh yeah, eddy did a cover of this!"
He'd go out of his way to be seen, and everyone is like armed to the teeth, and he's like tapping on windows. The whole family was freaked out about it."
Lewis went on to say that there was a real stalker in Tyler, Texas who became a folk hero: "I was down there for Thanksgiving, and after the family got through talking about who died and who's got cancer and all those things that families talk about, they started talking about this guy who was peeping in windows and started breaking into people's houses.
In a 1995 interview with RIP magazine, Toadies lead singer Todd Lewis said: "It's just a story I heard long ago; it's just a really cool, eerie lake, and some stuff I heard and some stuff I just make up. I tend to do that. They dammed up this big river up there, and it's got all these spooky names like Hell's Gate. It's really cool."
Whenever I sing toadies I do so in a fake exaggerated texas accent. It is fun as I am from new jersey so well you know, it's entertaining.
An accent makes anything better.
When I realize stuff like this isn't around anymore it makes me realize living in the future is nowhere as fulfilling as remembering the past. LIfe was so much more rich and awesome when new music like this was coming out.
I like lady gaga but IT DOESNT EVEN COME CLOSE to touching the awesomeness of early 90s rock.
these guys were awesome and i think are underrated due to the fact that almost all of their songs are good and should have gotten more notice then they did. instead they were more of a little brother to the rest of the big 90s bands at the time.
Hey, I just read some comments and am sorry if I "interpreted" the lyrics as being somewhat "vampirish" (my word). However, I am definitely NOT an idiot. I just heard this song TODAY. I grew up in the 70's, 80',s and 90's, but had not heard of this great band. Since the song mentions the girls staying forever beautiful and her skin forever white and her hair forever black, you could understand why some people, not familiar with the band, would give have a vampire take on it.
Ok, I am sooooo "behind". I just heard this song this morning on my car radio and I love it! I love the lyrics! It's like a really cool vampire love song. They got back together in 2008 and have a new CD out.
@the idiot who said its about vampires....the toadies aren't stephenie meyer fanfags, they have better shit to do than sing about vampires. dont get me wrong, vampires are amazing, but they don't sparkle. The toadies are more occupied with the important things...like writing about kidnapping a crush, killing her, and then nercophilia.
@RougeTemplar OMG same thing with me! Everybody calls me old cause I listen to Nirvana,Foo Fighters,Jimi Hendrix etc. And I every time I mention that this generation sucks (its true look at the music and how other kids act) all the kids get pissed. :( If only Kurt Cobain was alive. If he was, everybody would listen to rock. No doubt.
@RougeTemplar The days of grunge are ending my friend :( it sucks, i'm 20 and i grew up listening to some good 90's rock (and everything from the 60's on up). now music is taking a fat shit on itself.
@hansoloromana actually its not. its about raping and killing girls. maybe you should check up on things before you make yourself look like an asshole.
92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If you are part of the 8% that still listens to real music, copy and paste this message to 5 other videos. DONT LET ROCK N ROLL DIE ! Thumbs Up If You Agree
@eljoker913 rock and roll is never gonna die..i think teens just like pop just because "its the thing to like" and a youtube comment isnt gonna keep rock alive
@eljoker913 Most of those supposed "rock bands" you mentioned are just as awful as the pop music you are trying to ridicule. And where did you get that idiotic statistic? Bands like fuel and 3 days grace are harder to listen to then lady gaga or taylor swift. At least those pop stars arent trying to be something they are not. Those rock bands are over-produced, fake, moronic, unoriginal, and useless. try to develop some good taste before you go around putting down others
@paulisawesome3 This was on 120 Minutes which was a television show dedicated to alternative music, originally airing on MTV from 1986 to 2000, and then on MTV's sister channel MTV2 from 2001 to 2003.
@Iao74185 Than what happened to it? OH YA! Far more superior shows like Jersey Shore and Cribs came along!! Of course everyone loves that more than good ol' 90's alternative/ grunge! *Sigh* It's all so depressing.......
I like the chick bass player representing their home state of Texas with that jersey. If you're ever in Waco, check out the Possum Kingdom dam, which is on the Brazos River which flows right by town. Very cool place.
@TheAlexhansen i hate when they only show the singer. as a musician that appreciates the song in its entirety and all the different parts, it's really fucking annoying when the singer gets all the attention.
Amazing live performance, auto tune has destroyed the music of today imo that and record companies hiring no talent idiots. Go watch Alicia Keys superbowl performance and have a laugh
Be my angel behind the boathouse and dont worry Ill be your jump off. I do have the mentality of a man but a fine cougar I am, wouldnt no wat hit him..............
God, this song is awesome! I love his voice. Why don't they ever celebrate 90's music? It's always the 80's. I'm sick to death of the 80's. 90's music is one of the best since the 60's. Can you say Nirvana? Pearl Jam? Spin Doctors? Okay, that's a stretch. But I like them anyway.
I listened to some Mogwai. I have mixed feelings. I think the music is gorgeous! But at the same time, it made me feel melancholy and a little blue. I would tend not to listen to them because of that. But I sure do appreciate their talent. Kind of reminds me of The Alan Parsons Project. Thanks for the suggestion. Always like to hear new music. Well... new to me, anyway.
iv seen the toadies twice... best fucking rock show iv ever seen. their sound guys know exactally what there doing, and the toadies and 100% solid /,,/ they are old ass dudes and they still replicate perfectly
aw man i am a mid 90's guy and i admit that the mid 90's we're one of the worst time for rock music and for most bands, i mean this is also the time when big record labels started noticing rock music again as marketable but...ehhhh, it's a good thing but it kind of didn't work out,
I love seeing videos like this of a band that i love. they look like a garage band and now look where they as artists. its something that i hope to accomplish as a musician
One of the best songs of the 90s, wat happened to the toadies cuz im not a really much of a fan(i really only kno this song) did they have like one hit song and they were done?
@GzusofSurburbia They had six singles off this album, this being the biggest, then they recorded a follow up album in '97, it was rejected by the record company so they had to reenter the studio and record a whole new album which didn't hit stores 'till 2001, by then their appeal was pretty much forgotten by radio. They are releasing the second album, with new recordings next month.

@Iao74185 Than what happened to it? OH YA! Far more superior shows like Jersey Shore and Cribs came along!! Of course everyone loves that more than good ol' 90's alternative/ grunge! *Sigh* It's all so depressing.......

Its to bad they got a little older. Some of there songs sound wierd when you see 35+ old guys singin the lyrics they do. They still rock the house.

I like the chick bass player representing their home state of Texas with that jersey. If you're ever in Waco, check out the Possum Kingdom dam, which is on the Brazos River which flows right by town. Very cool place.

I hate how they keep switching the view of the camera angle.
Just angle it at the singer, nobody wants to see anyone else in the band

@TheAlexhansen i hate when they only show the singer. as a musician that appreciates the song in its entirety and all the different parts, it's really fucking annoying when the singer gets all the attention.

@TheAlexhansen I disagree. I love The Toadies. That means all members of The Toadies, not just Todd Lewis ;)
I'm glad they switch camera angles to show all of them playing their part, because thats what true fans want to see.

God, this song is awesome! I love his voice. Why don't they ever celebrate 90's music? It's always the 80's. I'm sick to death of the 80's. 90's music is one of the best since the 60's. Can you say Nirvana? Pearl Jam? Spin Doctors? Okay, that's a stretch. But I like them anyway.

I listened to some Mogwai. I have mixed feelings. I think the music is gorgeous! But at the same time, it made me feel melancholy and a little blue. I would tend not to listen to them because of that. But I sure do appreciate their talent. Kind of reminds me of The Alan Parsons Project. Thanks for the suggestion. Always like to hear new music. Well... new to me, anyway.

aw man i am a mid 90's guy and i admit that the mid 90's we're one of the worst time for rock music and for most bands, i mean this is also the time when big record labels started noticing rock music again as marketable but...ehhhh, it's a good thing but it kind of didn't work out,

The only problem w/this, is, it's almost impossible to produce anything like this again -- this song is genius!

Screams 90s to me, and that's a good thing. Sad that you'll never hear new music that sounds like this though.

One of the best songs of the 90s, wat happened to the toadies cuz im not a really much of a fan(i really only kno this song) did they have like one hit song and they were done?
GzusofSurburbia 1 year ago
@GzusofSurburbia They had six singles off this album, this being the biggest, then they recorded a follow up album in '97, it was rejected by the record company so they had to reenter the studio and record a whole new album which didn't hit stores 'till 2001, by then their appeal was pretty much forgotten by radio. They are releasing the second album, with new recordings next month.
