  • THEY Are Legends. 

  • the chorus kinda ruins the song a bit.

  • 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.

  • One of the best! 3:10.

  • One of the best!

  • He is Legend should be commended. It takes a special kind of talent to fuck up a song this badly.

  • @JC10001 they simply did their own take, no big deal

  • @JC10001 It also takes a special kind of talent to be idiotic :)

  • he is legend is one of the most stylish bands i've ever heard

  • Where does one get a hold of this song?

  • @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

  • HIL gave the song more scenery is the best way i can describe this song

  • third eye blind is my favourite band at the moment, but anyone can see that this is a far better version!

  • This is better then the original :) love he is legend!:D

  • LOL! people are still arguing about this?

  • What's the deal with the 'refresh page clicks'?

  • possibly the absolute best cover iv heard (this n love on the rocks jd)

  • 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.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh my gooood. This song brings me back. I haven't listened to it in years...such a great cover. Better than the original imo.

  • 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

  • this cover is seriously amazing. I dont understand why its not likeable.

  • Apparently you morons don't understand HIL's style. So what it's not Third Eye Blind. Big Deal.` That's a shame. Great song, great band.

  • @alpharawr his voice before it gets dirty is a cheap immitation of Stephan Jenkins

  • what the fuck is this.

  • WTF IS THIS CRAP? Anyone that believes this version is better than 3eb's deserves to be raped in the ass repeatedly.

  • @TangyGoodness no one said its better. its a fxxkin cover man its obviously gonna have a different sound.

  • Comment removed

  • this is heinous.

  • No. just No.

  • 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..

  • This sux compared to 3eb its not as good I dont care what anybody says shitty cover fuck this im out

  • @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.

  • 90s music was awesome.

  • oh my goodness

    i liked it up to 1:37

    not very bad for them

    but just to do that to this song,

    .....just.....no

    they ruined my favorite part of the song :(

  • Gah!!!!! This is SOOOOO AMAZING!!! :D

  • 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.

  • Better than the original. Good stuff HIL

  • love this so

  • I love HIL andd 3Eb, but this cover is terrible....

  • @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

  • way to ruin my favorite song of all time for me. this is fucking awful. i can't believe my ears right now.

  • @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.

  • @StandUnderMyUniverse HIL-billys...nice. I'll have to use that one.

  • 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.

  • Both Third Eye Blind and He Is Legend are awesome bands so both of you gently remove your tampons shut the fuck up

  • Great cover! HIL is the bomb!

  • This sounds 90 times better than the original.

    This is one of my favorite covers, perfectly done!

  • This song is mad good.

  • 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?

  • @ctbxchris fag this band is way better and dont come here if you gonna talk shit and they made this song better

  • part of this was good...the other parts...not so much.

  • 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

  • no dude.

    its bad.

    really bad

  • okay im listening explain to me what makes it bad?

  • the fact that they *ATTEMPT* to make it metal.

    good music shouldnt be ruined by bands like this

  • your argument is irrelevant, he is legend is not a metal band

  • i didnt say they were

    i said they were trying to make the song metal, which it is not designed to be.

  • 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 also didnt say they are not metal.

    i simply didnt say they were.

    you sir are the ignorant one.

  • LOL!

  • Yeah it is...

  • 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.

  • @PGSawesome (((Louds is Clouds lol...

  • Yeah, I got it off someone else, I did wonder if that was the name thoug, lol.

  • damn this was good until it hit the chorus. now it just makes me sick

  • This is terrible. Way to ruin one of the best 3eb songs.

  • not bad for a cover

  • Oh god, I was going to say that this is a solid cover, but then it hit about 2 minutes and went downhill fast.

    Christ, what a way to ruin the song.

  • it's called Metal, get FREAKING used to it.

  • lololololol

    I listen to metal, and this isn't metal, it's trash.

  • Look up He Is Legend-I Am Hollywood or mean shadows. He Is Legend are awesome.

  • 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

  • (sigh)

  • 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.

  • no no.

    its just a bunch of winy babys.

    maybe the original meaning was hardcore... but not now, and im going by all the emo kids at my school. they're fucking creepy bitches.

  • Yeah, but they shouldn't be using the emo name as they are.

  • 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

  • His clean vocals in this song are better than Third Eye Blinds....but the chorus is pretty shitty

  • 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

  • he is legend handed third eye blind some balls

  • An ok cover for their style, but nobody can do it as good as 3eb

  • @hexums

    I disagree. He Is Legend is better in my opinion.

  • Thanx 4 putting this where we can all find it. This song was taken off the "purevolume" spot.

  • 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

  • hell yea, he sounds a lot like pantera's voice in a lot of his songs ive noticed

  • He Is Legend always takes other peoples songs and makes them 100% better

  • Are you people kidding me? This is better than the original. (let the hate mail flow) idc I love He Is Legend and they owned this song

  • Oh. My. God.

    Let's leave this song to Third Eye Blind, shall we?

  • Schulyar Croom... what a fucking legend!

  • 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.

  • isn't that the point of a cover? to add your own musical twist on it?

    It's not like they were going to make the same exact sounding song

  • all you people need to man the fuck up.

    if you dont like the song then you dont and if you do you.

    no one cares about your opinions on you ctube so shut the fuck up, put you keyboards in a cupboard and go out side

  • it was a good cover until the screaming...borderline travesty.

  • No, it's a good cover for their musical style

  • agrreee

  • you shouldn't hate on this band. You're going to be the one with a 13 on your forehead

  • the music just makes the lyrics just that much more powerful "thats just what people say"

  • Third Eye Blind is probably my favorite band.

    He Is Legend is up there in the top 10.

    And then i heard this song, and I had to change my pants because a musical explosion of amazing just happened.

    Also, to all the haters. This is a great cover BECAUSE its so different from the original.

  • just awful, i mean if your only emotion is to scream then i guess this works....

  • 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

  • I agree. Just not my kind of sound.

  • He Is Legend revolutionized this song you f@*% Tart

  • really? to who? you and all your emo screamo friends? what a bold, wrong statement

  • 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.

  • its a great cover. but your statement was off anyway. there's nothing revolutionary about it.

  • wow, they officially killed a song...wow...

  • You have no ears :O

  • this is my favorite song of all time!!! You should be shot if you don't like it. You've done the impossible if you don't like it.

  • This and Cape Fear definitely show when HIL was thinkin' hmmm... Southern= badass. Lets make Suck Out The Poison!

    Im so glad my two favorite bands share a song :)

  • I love the break down in this. It literally feels like it's trudging through the mud. Makes me want to pull out a shot glass of whiskey.

    Very intense not many performers can convey that level of attitude anymore.

    I just wish the audio quality of this was higher.

  • what? to you haters! just because you don't like it you don't have to tell everyone who likes it that it sucks !

    in my oppinon I think its great, because it have so many levels and it stands out !! much more then all the mainstream that is in the music world...

    this is a great song. people just can't hear that. Cus they don't hear that kind of music...

    I like the cover much more then the real song..

    God Bless

  • Dude, He is Legend rock! They need to bring out a new album, especially if it's like "I am Hollywood" !!!

  • you are totally right man.

    God Bless

  • 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.

    God Bless everyone

  • you are fucked in the head my good friend

  • screaming is overdone, and all the bands sound the same now. screamo/metalcore/deathcore whatever you wanna call it is on it's way out.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song, but I've been looking for the longest time. Would you mind sharing? :D

  • It can be found on "The Song Lives On: A Tribute to Third Eye Blind"

    Def. I great song/cover.
