The Verve Pipe - Photograph

[yourOpinionNotMine]

I was so frickin glad when the 90s came on!

[lumyingluo]

nice^^

[maxistsocialist]

Fuck the capitalist system of Justin Beiber

[kwzz]

I wish I was old enough to know what good music is in the 90's.

[BlayzedBlue]

Another great mid 90's band that came and went. Wish I knew what they were doing now. Not to be confused with "The Verve", another great 90's band from the UK that came and went.

[78KevinHayes]

@BlayzedBlue Brian Vander Ark,the lead singer, has struggled as a solo artist but his songs are brilliant. Check out "And Then You Went Away", "Mileage", "You'll Be The Death Of Me"

Happy 47th Brian Vander Ark! June 19,2011

[hraith]

these guys are too good for the pop music scene, really

[Kellogs43able]

i saw these guys 15 years ago at the varsity theater in baton rouge, before they became big...i was only a few feet from the stage...who knew??

[srover65]

@Kellogs43able they were popular 15 years ago I don't think they are together anymore

[ecabeza52180]

Much of the 90's was music you either gonna love or hate. I loved it all....even some of the hip hop from the 90's. :) *

[iLLMiLLz978]

You ever get a blast from the past type feeling like your back in 1997 runnin around like a nut cause you didnt care about a thing!!! Thats the way i feel when i listen to this classic trac!!!

[earfday]

i remember this song like many of its predecesors very good , but couldnt stand the test of time . i think it was when the freshman song came out . they were considered a flash in the pan type of artist with the one hit song. But they forgot about this one which was better than the freshman

[ChartrueseSneeze]

@earfday

My thoughts exactly. I remember liking this one and at least half the other songs on that album better than The Freshman and being annoyed it was the big radio song.

[bombardier8525]

i remember being like 11 and jammin out to this song lol, god i miss those days! Now a days music is pretty much pure dogshit!

[TheAprilYarber]

i have this CD people now-a-days don't know what good music is! i'm 18 and i hate this crap they play now

[pucksterz12]

This was a huge song for while - then like its contemporaries, faded into oblivion. Ressurect some of these 90's tunes that got stale back then and now they seem fresh as ever once again - thanks to youtube...

[doctorshifty83]

This is real interesting to stumble across this...I never heard this until today. I only remmber both versions of 'The Freshman' and 'Villians' consatatntly being played on alternitave radio back in 1996/7. I'll be sure to download this song or finally just get the whole CD. lol....and who the hell was talking about The Urge?!?! Thats kinda bizarre.

[TheAprilYarber]

@doctorshifty83 the whole cd is amazing! i own it and listen to it constantly

[LeBeastee]

What do these guys have to with The Urge? Not that I'm complaining, of course.

[SUPERSCHMOO]

great song. but this video is full of 90's tropes like crazy...

slow motion, old or weird people.

[owenbb505]

this and villains are such great songs. video brought back some memories....that blonde in the skirt dancing behind the group looked so cute and sexy to me!

[Trontom]

Taylor Hicks singing and Alan Rickman on lead guitar. XD

[blackdragonofthedamn]

6 people like shity music

[sigilant]

Is that Severus Snape on lead guitar?

[Rammagith]

@sigilant LOL probably, that or an aged dehydrated anemic Trent Reznor disguised as Snape.

[geekypoo]

@sigilant is that wormtail on the drums ?

[swordmaster39]

i just wish this group was more popular D:

[oleander2882]

awesome song. bunch of terrible dancers in the background, haha.

[Garguy5]

oh dear, bring back so many memories... great song!

[TheOnlyFoe]

They're playing live like ten minutes from my house tomorrow, which is awesome. Love this song. Villains. Freshmen. Cup of Tea. All good, good.

[rhcp484]

@TheOnlyFoe duuude!! at mojos in columbia!! im thinkin about goin!

[TheOnlyFoe]

They're playing live tomorrow like ten minutes from my house. Sweet. Sweet.

[anonyouknowwho]

Someone please tell me the keyboard sounding noise in the first 7 seconds and throughout the song is heard somewhere else right? If you know pleaaaaseeee say which one!

[WH32290]

@anonyouknowwho sounds like a synthesizer to me...

[MattL883]

This is pretty much considered rap metal, has aspects of both, even though he doesn't do a lot of rapping, it has a dj, and the beat is rap, all the while making it a phemoninal rap metal song!!!!!

[thedudefromthehood]

@MattL883 lmao, where is the dj? that tone is not DJ, its either guitar tapping or keyboard. This song is not even metal, this is Alternative Rock. Geez man.

Do you know what is rap? rap is basically saying a poem with a tone in the background. I don't see him rapping here, he is singing normally. Check other Alternative Rock bands like Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters they sound like this band.

[miahchristiansen]

@MattL883 ..dude you know NOTHING about music....just keep your moth shut about things you dont know about...god i hate retards!!

[miahchristiansen]

@MattL883 ...god you are dumb and know Nothing about music!!!

[PuercoDeBatalla]

@MattL883 hahaha

[kensuke0]

I keep thinking the main beat is the Donkey Kong arcade theme.

[Laurariehle]

I always loved this song.

[GregthaBunny]

Much better then Freshman, was released before that one as well

[MattL883]

Rap grunge of the 90's...kind of a precursor to rap rock!

[iLLMiLLz978]

@MattL883 i hate 2 say your wrong but you are this song came in late 1996 by that time the rap rock thing had already been around in the underground creating a major stir since late '93!! Urban Dance Squad look them up came out years before Rage Against the Machine this is no where near rap rock stuff my dear friend!!!! Korn was already a HUGE BAND by LATE '96!!!! Even Limp Bizkit was slowly emerging on the scene by this point!!!

[problyout]

@MattL883 what? lol your an idiot

[jok3rgeng]

90`s band rawk and good songs to not like now...

[Sambol2009]

great track but the one that truly stood out from the cd was VILLAINS...!!! monstrous song!!!

[starsweet4]

@Sambol2009 this and villains were my fav verve pipe songs.. it's a shame they didn't hit it big

[iampoopman]

@starsweet4 They hit it pretty big, The Freshmen is still played regularly on our radio stations in western Canada.

[iLLMiLLz978]

@starsweet4 you are either or really young or living under rock yes they arent pounding out number 1 and 2 hits now but 1996-2001 they were big!!!!

[starsweet4]

@iLLMiLLz978 guess you didn't read my comment properly.. as i said i heard these on the radio a lot when they came out so i am not young. by not hitting it big, i meant that no one really knows who they are now.

[MattL883]

Looks like the guy from adema!

[moviechic07]

I wish I was a teenager in the 90s, Because I was only in elementary/Intermediate school when in the 90s...I was only 7 when this song came out...but since listening to The Verve Pipe and other 90s rock and grunge music I feel like I was missing out on great music...but atleast I have youtube to take me back and let me hear this music that I didn't fully process in the 90s as a child...(=

[shmuck990]

@moviechic07 i was a teenager in the 90's and it was so awesome to pay $15.00 for a cd with only one good song on it!!

[moviechic07]

@shmuck990 LOL!

[yantanino27]

i agree with dunderhead36....this cut rocks...

[Vamphaery]

The 90s were like the 60s in a way. A lot of music that would never have received attention or even be considered as "real music" before was suddenly very visible everywhere. It really injected a lot of diversity into music in a very short period of time, and inspired a lot of people to experiment in turn. The environment where that could happen seems to have been all but annihilated since then, save for a very few, very lucky exceptions, or those who are already established. (Corrected typos)

[rastaman24211]

@Vamphaery i actually disagree...yes the grunge movement in the nineties opened the doors to more variety in music with the whole garage band craze.....however i think recently mp3`s and the invention of file sharing has REALLY opened up the doors to music that otherwise never would have been heard. for the first time in a long time the record companies didnt have complete control over who got to be heard and who doesnt. how many people actually listen to the radio now to hear new music?

[Vamphaery]

@rastaman24211 That I will actually agree with. Distribution has a far lower barrier now. And you're right, especially in the last few years, a lot has exploded because of that. It still seems like studios themselves are more resistant to taking risks now, though, than then. (Fortunately, there are more alternatives now though, as you described.)

[rastaman24211]

@Vamphaery as far as the record companies go now though you are right they sound test everything before they release and anything "different" is frowned upon under fear it will cause people to change the radio station. and looks are soo emphasized over actual musical talent. they have created an entire climate to actually stifle artistic expression. however in all honesty the only hand the record companies have in music these days is in creating pop stars.

[troym33]

@Vamphaery well put!

[darthrudious]

@Vamphaery Words spoken like a true poet

[Danandvikki1]

Damn...this brings back some memories!

[Nightowl358]

Love this song. 90s rock is so awesome.

[trancedj]

I love how everyone commenting is between their late 20s and mid 30s (well, of those who have their age displayed)...

Some of us will always remember that there was a point in time where good music wasn't fabricated by technology and expensive engineers but was, instead, performed by great artists...

[Demnossolstice]

@trancedj I hope you're referring to classical, because most music made since 1950 was fabricated by technology and expensive engineers

[imortality1995]

@trancedj best years of music 1989-96

[skubey]

i was just watching a vid of olp and someonhe commented reccomending this song. Gotta say i'm not to impressed.

[iLLMiLLz978]

LEAD SINGER = SCOTT BAKULA + TWILIGHT KID HAHAH

[fading22]

the freshmen was the only good song this band came out with which dissapointing considering how well they did with that one.

[iLLMiLLz978]

@fading22 r u nuts this song was way better then that gay emo crap!!!

[novembre8211]

I love this song....loved this song back when I first heard it, and I love the album it's off of as well...takes me back 13 years. Excellent stuff IMHO

[MrProfessornutbutter]

Christians Mingling via an online dating site. Hmm, wow! o the bad things you and your church gal can do together! I mean she likes all the fun and dirty things, right?

[starsweet4]

goddammit why can't we have music like this anymore?!! why must i go to youtube everyday to get my fix of GOOD MUSIC... i wanna go back to the 90s now!

[TheLedezma76]

@starsweet4 I totally understand

[PRdude]

@starsweet4 I wouldn't mind taking a trip back to the 90s myself. Some good music back then, and you could watch most of it on MTV. Not so much the case nowadays.

[ritter89]

Loved this song, although I was tiring of that 90s formulaic music video :heavy shadows, filtered lenses, random slow motion cuts, flashing strobe effects interspersed with meaningless morbid looking characters standing in front of darkly lit backdrops, etc, etc

[rentz46]

@ritter89 Good point. Well said. You putting it like that makes me realize most videos of this era where just....like...that.

[TargetRender]

@ritter89 blame that on Marilyn Manson and NIN. lol. still a great video, though!

[Paraniodwar]

this song owns, then again, I also liked penny is poison but whatever, Im so glad it didnt get attention though, Nothing but stupid people labeling and trying to be fanboys&girls about it would appear and then I would be continually annoyed

[eightday]

This song is one of those great songs that got forgotten about. THIS is their best song hands down.

[zezee373]

what is this sont really saying?

[Metman07]

This was the Verve Pipe's best song and one of the best songs of the 90s IMHO

[Meatballhead07]

This song should've gotten more attention. It's infinitely better than The Freshman.

[AFornix]

Yes, the 90's...graduated from college, didn't have a job, the Internet was something in it's infancy, people had BEEPERS!!!!, MTV was still cool but beginning it's downward slide. That's the decade I "came of age".....all those people at the end of the video dancing remind me of people I knew back then....Val, AJ, Wesley, Darlene, Barbara..............

[fetishdiva1]

this is the music of my high school years. i graduated in 1995 and i'm 33.

songs from the 90s remind me of being in high school and seeing my friends everyday.

those of you in high school now, really cherish your friends while you still get to see them everyday.

may just be some of the best times of your life.

[PRdude]

@fetishdiva1

As a 90s kid who finished high school in 1997 and is know 30 (and will be 31 come May), I co-sign with this.

[fluttergirl28]

@fetishdiva1 - Couldn't have said it better myself! 90's music was and is the best, without a doubt!!!

[agriffina]

I remember when this premiered on 120 Minutes when I was a freshman... the Pinfield years... lol

AJ always looks rather intense in this vid

[Metman07]

I was 12 when this song came out. Takes me back!

[Jerome619916]

although I was born in 1991, at my early age I listen to this kinda music on the radio every afternoon with my uncle... damn I miss those days... back then, I prefer listening to the radio rather than playing with my friends...

[eyephuctyormom]

50s revolutionary, 60s most epic, 70s maybe most meaningful music songs. 80s most romantic songs imo. 90s got the most powerful songs i ever heard. just before the music industry came in and ruined everything once again. used to make out to this song...

[ScottH409]

This came out when I lived in South Florida... it will always resonate with me and I found BVA to be an awesome dude. Long live Verve Pipe!!!

[TheWintersEve]

im still in highschool, and i like the modern music, but my fave decade of music is the 90s. i just like them

[deadelvis333]

It was a great era of expansion... probably the greatest band out of the 90's other than Nirvana was At the Drive-In.

[hana2300]

i was born in the 90's.....and well i kinda skipped that whole era of rock music....idk why but...i just went on to current music and 80's.......

[IWNT2BLV]

I don't know if anyone cares, I came from the 60's music, really came of age during all of the 70's "classic rock". Actually, the 90's were the BEST to me and I sure miss it - almost all of my favorite music was from the super-incredible 90's. . . why no more. . .?

[PRdude]

Well I mainly grew up in the 90's music era myself. (I was in high school from 1993 to 1997.) Even so, I actually think music from the 60's-90's range was the best. I only really got into classic rock in 2002, and I was 22 at the time, and I seriously regret not discovering it earlier. Like say, back in my high school years.

[IWNT2BLV]

There are quite a few from your generation that really are into classic rock, which really astounded me when I noticed that. 60s - 70s really were the pioneers of the sound, and I agree with you that the overall 60s - 90s range being the best, but I would say that the 80s, with some exception, was especially poor, but still better than today as far as mainstream. I listen to a lot of collage free-form, such as experimental electronica, for current music. I sill like a lot of oldies though.

[PRdude]

There are people of my generation that are big on classic rock. I only wish I had discovered it a lot sooner is all. I like nearly all kinds of music (yes, even country), and I like things even from today, but IMHO, it doesn't compare to the 60s-90s stuff.

[KeaneQueen11981]

this song takes me back damn I miss the 90's

[toobadimnotyourmom]

I miss these guys. :/ I used to wear this and all of the Gin Blossoms that was out at the time out.

[Dunderhead36]

Too bad most of the 90s alternative rock artists end up as fads, cuz u don't hear much from these guys anymore, or Matchbox Twenty and Third Eye Blind

[h22ej8]

That's because of the new music "fad" BS

[kseadam8907]

this is the best!

[iLLMiLLz978]

for anyone who is age 25-30 its good 2 know we came from the best music generation since the 60s!!!!!!

[Dunderhead36]

ah 60's weren't that great. Too overrated that's why it's popular, cuz "The Beales were there" I doubt most people can name another artist from that time, like The Animals, The Yardbirds, etcs.

[h22ej8]

Even people younger than that range (like myself) are all too familiar with the 90's. Best era of all time. The junk that's play these days is pathetic.

[hobby9000]

This song helped me through my life man...this band is awesome!

[rickibrockn]

I played the bigeez out this C.D. You can here it in the backround of alot of my home movies. (Not those movies ha ha) Yes the 90's were sweeetttttt!!!!1

[AmandaKay1203]

Ahh, the memories! Such a great album!

[hurley614]

I was a freshman in high school when "Freshman" came out. Got this cd and from beginning to end its one of the best from the 90's. Awesome song!

[oviedoc5454]

it simply does NOT get any better than this!!!

[JeffreyOsb]

This... insanely... reminds me of the 90's.... god I loved that time... Shanna... lol... such a girl!

[joe22twentytoo]

love them

[machodonkey]

This album came out right after I graduated. Great cd, and this is my fav off of it. But I think their best song was Hero. Clever song, and the video mocking "the Verve - Bittersweet Symphony" is classic.

[eightday]

this is the best song they've ever done HANDS DOWN.

[jimmyjohnsrocks]

I just hired AJ, the guitarist, at my store here in Michigan. The dude is sweet.

[rockotica]

sucks for him

[KruspeFTW]

I love this song. heard it on the radio today and I was like OMG

[Dunderhead36]

The Freshmen is great, but this is much better in my opinion. Very underrated.

[LIV2gofishing]

I agree with you one hundred percent

[WH32290]

@Dunderhead36 Absolutely!! Didn't get the airtime it deserved, came and went too quickly, Never got a chance to develop.

[starsweet4]

@WH32290 i heard this a lot on the radio when it came out...

[mknob]

This is the only song I remember them by. Why isnt it their best?

[fetisov02]

it may be their best, but "the freshmen" was the song that hit it big for them.

[fetisov02]

underrated song

[DX4LIFFE]

Underated BAND BY FAR!!!

[Xsilord]

Rock sucks in my generation... I wish I grew up around stuff like this =(

[TheHOODLUMdj]

I found the 7" 45rpm record of this on eBay!

[TheHOODLUMdj]

it got lost in the mail :-(

[TheHOODLUMdj]

but I found another one! I put it in my jukebox!

[pjameleven]

Man do I ever miss the 90's... well I miss the music...

[LIV2gofishing]

I miss the 90's alt rock so much! I have to agree this was an incredibly underrated single. I was introduced to this and many other great alt rock songs on the Muzak tapes they played at a part time job I had back in the late 90's. Thanks H20 plus!!

[VideoEnthusiast1]

Right after "The Freshmen" this is one of the best songs to come out of the 1990's.

[TDreamer99]

Wow the guitar riff is sweet!!!

[PRdude]

I weep for the 90s when I hear songs as great as this, and bands as great as this.

[bob9383]

good to see wholesome music like this still has a impact on people today

[HyperDashSC2]

Definitely one of my all-time favs

[jmb6505]

Great song. Villains is still one of my all time favorite albums.

[getarrestedtoday]

This is truley an underrated masterwork!

[tinyelvis10]

"Freshmen" always got on my nerves (and was very overplayed), but this single and "Villains" were so good, as was most of this album. It's a shame they faded out.

[kool4ever]

I luv this album.

[NeoLunaAngel]

Favorite song ever! I miss this band...

[IanHegarty]

Just busted out the CD for no real reason and vaguely remembered the video. Still rocks. Great band and the production on this album is killer.

[ryansullivan626]

dc is very behind on music, i was a driver and set up worker for a huge music shop in dc and brought equipment bands rented from us to the local sites and noticed alot of trendy thoughts and following of the more "early catchings" of bands around the country cities. Detroit is probably the place music gets noticed first being so close to canada and having ties in the states and its music history, Detroit gets the best of 2 countries and it shows bands tour there first for exposure and scouting.

[Thevideopyramidhead1]

DC had Scream in the 90s.

And Dain Bramage. Both had Dave Grohl in them. Then he was put into Nirvana. Now he's in Foo Fighters. I'm not sure what other bands are from DC though.

[xmatty76x]

this is one of the ONLY cds i kept with me at all times! THEY RULE!

[denisebrown1956]

one of my all-time favorite albums. especially love this song. great, great sound. also like "Reverend Girl".

[NiteRider107]

Completely awesome band. They really are.

Villains is a really great album aswell. I found it the other day, only thing I've been listening to since. Great video : ]

[asofaihp]

sweet intro.

[CerCusMonkeeStuDios]

love u guys music....have all of ur cds...and brians solos...
