It seems that no one knows that this song was on the Tribute to Third Eye Blind CD and the band personally chose the artists to do these covers. They also approved each track before it went on the CD. The band loved this version which is why you are hearing it now.
@OmegaDust if you give me your email i can just send it to you. i think i got it from a friend a long time ago. you can also find it on various websites
very cool dirty version of the song. as always original is better. i am so glad that they did not copy the song exactly. they did their own take on it.
i love this cover and i really dont give a rats if no one else does. its soft and lyrical but also hard and gritty it really looks at what the song says
the reason why this dissapoints 3EB fans is because it was written beautifully and sang with a lot of heart and emotion. lyrics that are written this well shouldn't be turned into metal screaming.
@grantpichla Totally agree, and they also shouldn't shove off key notes like the one in 2:25, fuck this, this band have no idea as to what 3eb are about..
@ScreamingVillage hey everyone LOOK, this person is a fucking loser!!!!! TEB is a completely different style of music, and that is why bands cover other bands shit, to give it a twist. Its called being different. Stay away from music, you dont understand it, obviously.
I love the original by 3EB, even though this version could never come close to it, i can admit that the lead singer of this band does a great job minus the screaming part (im just not a fan of the huge deviation of the original, no offense to anyone or his vocals). I would like to hear this band do the entire 'Wounded' song cover just normal, just curious to hear how it sounds, im sure it would get much more props from hardcore 3EB fans.
@pennstate09 In my opinion, if they did it the same as the original, you might as well listen to the original. What makes this a good cover is that they made the song their own.
@alpharawr Well done and thanks a lot(no 3eb pun intended) for the positive feedback.. most people on here wouldn't have responded so respectfully to my original comment. You represent your HIL boys the way fans should
@alpharawr I highly disagree.. nothing personal. I've been a die hard 3eb fan since 1997 and just can't get along with this. If I'd heard this version before listening to the original for 11 years, I might've thought differently. Props to them for good taste though!
This song is actually about a girl who isnt the same anymore after shes been raped....too generic and uninteresing it seems for HIL fans. Dont worry HIL-billys, this is a much needed twisted and scummy song cover that seems to actually take on the character of the rapist. Well done...boys.
This is sad. Way to disgrace a great fucking song He Is Legend. The singer sounds like a dickless retarded hobo trying to get off. Hopefully their own music is better than this cuz it sounds like they could be good but this cover needs to cease existing.
holy crud. I wasn't thinking this was that bad until the 'metal' part. Blerghhhh. Totally gets away from what the real song's intent. I stopped listening when he started whining like nevershoutnever. Ambitious cover, but nothing can top the original.
heres the deal. he is legend is a good band. but 3EB is much better. they did ruin this song. if you compare the two versions, you'll realize that he is legend had no idea wtf they were doing playing this. ok. end of discussion. moaning the lyrics, butchering the chorus, i mean it cant get any worse
3EB just aren't better than He Is Legend. He Is Legend have better and more thoughtful lyrics, much more interesting music, a great variation in their song styles and the lead singer's voice gets better every album. 3EB are a fairly generic, not that interesting band that never had any really special songs. And while this song sounds nothing like the original, that's the idea, and were you expecting a metal band to sing it opera style or what?
all the people who left comments prior to mine with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 are all stupid and close minded who just listen and buy what they are told to like
That is why it is called a cover, people put their own spin on a song, and if they are not a metal band why would they try to make it sound metal. Are you stupid or just ignorant? But I will no longer discuss this with you because trying to explain this to you would be like trying to drown the ocean.
I think you'll find He Is Legend are and awesome metal band, try "I am Hollywood", "Louds", "Don't touch that dial" or "Mean Shadows" their new album has very little screaming in it but it still sounds great.
you must be little and an emo because you are definately gay dude --- if you listen to this shit and think its good then your emo go see if your mom will buy you some razorblades since the store clerk wont sell them to you
whoah there little guy emo isnt suicidal its just guys like you wearing girls clothing singing gay songs in gay voices and having large amounts of angst against society
No, it isn't. Emo(short for EMOCORE) is emotional hardcore and therefore anything BUT gay/wussy really, assuming you know what hardcore is(unlikely), it's a form of heavy punk, bordering on metal, and emocore is just the same but with real emotion.
whatever happened to talking intelligently about music? Why do all the comments about this kind of music end up with everyone at eachother's throats? It would be nice to have an insult-free discussion of music for once. This song contains a lot of metal elements so some people (like myself) really can identify. However, the song is known for its melodic content already, and I think this band does a great job of embracing those polar opposites
wow that is such a great original insult man lol im open to people covering songs but this guys voice is so bad and the whole Emo screaming bullshit is so gay all their own songs fucking suck and so does this cover
WTF is that bullshit no offense it wasnt bad at first but when Pour it on boys happened they totally killed the song. Shame on them for destroying a great song
God I love how it goes from so light and Third Eye Blindish to just trudging through this dark and gritty breakdown. Badass. "Pour it out, boys." Fuck yeah.
this is TERRIBLE BULLSHIT!!!! is supposed to be music? how do they have a record deal? my dead grandmother sings better!! so disrespectful to third eye blind! way to butcher a great song....good job
decent cover im my opinion im into this style of music for the most part but i dont think this song personally goes well into this style of music i think they would do better on something like semi charmed life or something
This song is absolutely rad. It feels like you are actually wading through the muck, so boss. I grew up listening to 3eb and as my musical taste evolved it came to include the genius that is He is Legend.
I implore you all to listen to the new HiL album, came out on 7/21, called It Hates You.
so funny...how is it awful the guy has an amazing voice its so hard to scream like that and especially going from that to harmonic... fucking idiots no nothing about singing...better than the orig way better
HaHa... Emo Screamo friends?... first) it's Post-Hardcore not screamo... 2nd) I don't really dress punkish or whatever you want to call it... nor do i have very many friends that dress... punkish... 3) Post-Hardcore is profound music.
How anyone could like this at all...let alone better than the actual Third Eye Blind song is completely beyond me. Parts of this cover sound nice, but the screaming chorus is absolutely horrendous
I don't know, thats just me. I find the real song kinda boring, and if you compare the two songs I think HIL have made a unique cover of the song, that either you like it or you don't.
well I like it, but its cool if you don't.. I can't say anything against that.
