  • There were 7 tone-deaf people who watched this

  • @LoveSomeoneDumb even if you don't know his music and like shit music like lady gaga, how can you really vote to dislike someone like this, only a fool would try to say his voice wasn't great

    rock on, and take care, have you heard of anything new by dax? also did you ever get a chance to see him live or maybe acidbath back in the day, i am sorry to say i never saw acidbath, or have not seen dax yet, but he is one of the few i would go see

  • @acadx yes i have seen him live in madison wi. it was fuckin EPIC! i got his autograph on the cover art of we sing of only blood or love too =]

  • Ladies and Gentlemen meet the satanic son of Jim Morrison.

  • god, this music hits me so hard, even acid bath messes up my world

  • jim morrison had a baby!

  • god! the guy filming this is pissing me off!

    awesome song!

  • Yess!!

  • This Guy is the core, and im happy not alot of people don't know about it, because if they did it would not be unique!!!!

  • @StiffCadaver84 come to louisiana.. you'll see A LOT of people know and love him. but HE is unique and his music evolves never leaving his fans disappointed. whether he has 2 or 2 billion fans his voice will always leave me in awe especially live :)

  • I missed dax at tsunami

  • this sounds bad, but i like the view views low.

    -i'm selfish with good music

  • i saw dax back when he was still with acid bath and fell in love with the vioce

  • Dax Riggs is brilliant no doubt about it my friends!

  • Acid bath! yes, that was the previous band. ive known of dax for a couple of years now, i love the music. heroin lol what it does...

  • He reminds of chris cornell only his writing style is so personal to the point where every lyric touches you in your happy place and he is one of most humble people you will ever meet

  • @MrFnPink .....I was JUST talking the other day about Dax reminding me of Cornell!!!.....I've known of this cat for a while....he was in a band called Acid Bath based out of the Louisiana swamps..hehe.....not sure if you knew that....if you did already...disregard..hehe.....­I've seen him do this quite a few times around Lafayette, LA.....he's even more amazing live...he did a great actoustic rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" YEARS ago at an acoustic gig \m/

  • @SheaBearden I knew him from acid bath then kinda drifted away from his music til I met my friends the twins who are both HUUUUUUGE fans of his and I started listening and think he is one of the best pure musicians I would love to hear him sing that song well on to hunt for it lol

  • I saw dax a tsunami in monroe la a few weeks ago

  • I saw dax a tsunami in monroe la a few weeks ago really awesome

  • @MrFnPink ....super nice guy by the way...I've met him a few times :-)

  • Truly one of the most amazing vocalists of our day.

  • Dax is king.

  • this is SO DIFFERENT from acid bath! dax is doing good for himself :D

  • This is how its done from Louisiana! 

  • haha, he is so fucking beautiful, and I'm a girl.

  • whats even more Dax is super nice and will have a drink with you after his gig

    the most amazing voice going in blues rock today....and the songwriting is ferocious as well

  • prob the worst guitar cause he does not really play anyway....so sexy and this song is the sheeeeiot...and if u dont like it then dont listen to it! I think he pulled it off smashingly tho....

  • whew ! there are only 6 people deaf!

  • This truley is the worst guitar I have ever heard :( It's sad these guys got famous.

  • @hedlight

    Music doesn't have to be difficult or complex. Dax shows how you can make some of the absolute best music, and have it still be simplistic. His music is simple, dark, and beautiful

  • @hedlight Thats funny, I didnt even notice he was playing a guitar. With a voice that fuckin good, who gives a shit!

  • if u dont like this song u r a fuckin faggot

  • lol funny comments dax is the motha fuckin shizzzznit n 2 bags of chips seen him twice this summer n recorded both shows when i figure out how to upload em ill share em with all his awesome fans weeeooooooh!! beer! acid bath and beer!!

  • Comment removed

  • But Dax writes in super Poppy format, that alot of people could get into if they get the opportunity to hear it- But people are lazy, and they dont seek out music to listen to- They wait to be force feed what corporate America puts out there- Hey it could be the Eighties where they were looking for the next big hair band- SO even though Popular music sucks now, it could and has been much worse- Its the same as it ever was, good music is there if you put in the work to find it

  • The dumber you are the more likely that you will have a larger audience- The smarter you are the smaller yur audience will be- If you are a super talented musician, songwriter- The smaller the amount of people who could understand it- But the dumber you are musically the more people who will get you- If you are smart and talk to the masses- A small group will be like OK i get it- Or you could be dumb and yell " SHow us your titties" and crowd will go wild

  • Absolutely fucking beautiful

  • have you never heard of acid bath?

  • Dax is the man. I have followed him since 1994 in the Acid Bath days, all the way through Agents of Oblivion, T-Daks, Deadboy and the Elephantmen...now him solo has been the ultimate culmination of over a decade of exploring his sound and voice.

  • chills an nothing short of orgasmic

  • I would have loved to see Acid Bath

  • I'm not hatin on this video , but it's not my style .

    Good work though nonetheless

  • @JGarrettC Holy shit, this is one of the first times I've ever seen someone be a courteous commenter on YouTube. Must be Dax.

  • i am from new orleans and had the opportunity to see both of his previous bands live (Acid Bath, and Deadboy and the Elephant Man) And he is fucking awesome... dax never gets old!

  • i am from new orleans and had the opportunity to see both of his previous bands live (Acid Bath, and Deadboy and the Elephant Man) And he is fucking awesome... dax never gets old!

  • What a fantastic vocalist.

  • check out agents of oblivion

  • Nuclear Natalie an i gave him orchids at the last show he did in san diego . he stood with his eyes closed smelling the flowers. it was the single most beautiful image i have ever seen. Then he sang his part of heart brake hotel . we melted

  • You Rock! You have inspired me to continue playing my guitar. Love yoou Lots!

    Thank you

  • acid bath was better, dax come back to death metal, pls......

  • @degolocsta18 Acid Bath wasn't death metal.

  • @Cryoquake true, i don't know what i was thinking when i typed that, i'd say more grunge metal or swamp metal.

  • @degolocsta18 is not grunge its more slugde metal when he was acid bath.

  • its people like Dax that make someone as numb as me feel anything.. i am well on my way to being a single 30 yr old mother with a somewhat promising career in a 12 floor bank full of zombies.... if it wasnt for music and voices like his i would be "one of them"

  • @madamchryzl01 thats Awsome:)

  • @madamchryzl01 Nice!

  • @madamchryzl01  GOOD FOR YOU!! Music keeps your soul alive.

  • @madamchryzl01 Word the fuck up. You know what it's about.

  • @madamchryzl01 Acid Bath, and Agents of Oblivion man, there are some good tunes on those records.

  • acid bath will always be my fav dax project . bleed me an ocean leaves me breathless still

  • @stillnobodysnothing I love everything Dax does, but that song is just beyond brilliant.

  • thumbs up if you saw them 2 days ago at Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville !!!!!!!!!!!!! Great fucking show, they were humble and even did an encore. I fucking love Dax Riggs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Im hooked!!

  • the only thing im feelin more than dax' amazing vocals, is that funky fresh cowboy hat

  • I feel sorry for people that havent experienced Dax music. Unfortunately thats a lot of people that dont know what they're missing. I feel lucky to be part of the few. Everything from Acid Bath to the present is amazing.

  • Wow...

  • I love you Dax Riggs.

  • Dax is GEnious!!!!!!!!!!!! period!

  • woooooooooooooooow

    

  • this songs so badass

    dax is such a fucking inspiration

  • How the hell do I not know this Dax Riggs guy? I feel like I missed soo much now. Dammit.

  • thats what i'm talking about right there. ahh man how old is this? could there be a Acid Bath reunion? oh man this this this is well awesome its fucking Dax man

  • I'm a dude and i'm straight, but this guy is fucking sexy. So confused.

  • @AtGiza I always say that if given the chance i'd let go of my straight tendencies and go gay for a day.

  • @AtGiza its his voice...

  • @AtGiza It's his voice

  • this just seduce my imagination, is a holy nectar, fucking goldnectar....

  • I don't understand the meaning, but he definitely means whatever it is he's trying to convey. Really good vocalist.

  • I agree Dax has the greatest voice in Metal He needs to reform Acid Bath go back to his roots..

  • I have been jammin dax since i was a kid sneaking the pogo the clown cd around so my mom wouldnt see it. This guys can make any music sound good!

  • I dig it. But then again, there ain't much by this cat that i don't dig.

  • beautiful genious!

  • So glad i got to party with Dax and his old band Acid Bath back in the late 90's. Tampa , FL @ the Brass Mug and in St. Pete FL. @ the State Theater. I was even lucky enough to get on stage and sing with the band. I don't believe in god or the devil but Dax Riggs is a GOD!

  • SO thankful he isn't very well known. That's what I like about his music.

  • @TheExoudous amen to that

  • This is just....Amazing...

  • Amazing.

  • dax really resembles david gilmour here, great song, acid bath is the shit 2

  • dax has been around for a long time first he was in acid bath the had 2 albums then one of there members was killed by a drunk driver then he started agents of oblivion they had one album then he had tons of other side projects

  • He has such a wonderful voice.

  • I have three questtions:

    Why is this guy so fuckin awesome?!

    How the fuck have I lived this long and only heard of him a week ago?!

    How come his views are not in the millions, when he could possibly be the best singer i've ever heard?!

  • @Kroy5312 Don't lament what you have missed, just enjoy it while you can.

  • @Kroy5312 massively underrated! If you like his solo stuff, check out the album he did with his past band, Agents of Oblivion. brilliant songwriting

  • @chrisjeffsmusic Since I wrote this 3 months ago, I've either bought or downloaded everything Dax has done from Acid Bath to the most recent solo stuff. It is all great to me, but I agree with you in that the Agents of Oblivion stuff is some of the best.

  • @Kroy5312 Well start off with Acid Bath and read every lyric from both albums then listen to his next work which was Agents Of Oblivion. Then Deadboy. Finally you have Dax riggs.

    Cleveland OHIO!!!!!

  • @x617j4 Since I wrote that comment 4 months ago, I have caught up on everything Dax has done. I think I have the complete discography. I still think it is amazing that for as long as I have been into music, that one of my favorite musicians ever, I only found out about 4 months ago. It is a lesson of never giving up hope, there can always be something better.

  • @Kroy5312 i felt the same way five years ago........he will probably be super famous after death.

  • @Kroy5312

    Idk dude, I felt the same way when I discovered Acid Bath like a year ago and was like HOLY SHIT!

    I've since spread to all of his solo work too.

  • @kornfanphx have you checked out Agents of Oblivion? it was his band between Acid Bath and his solo stuff. It is just as good

  • @bscott1180

    Yeah man, I've got everything he's released. I really wish the 3rd Acid Bath album had been mass produced and not used in GoatWhore's stuff.

  • @bscott1180  I fucking love Agents.. I have every dax album that ever came out.. My favorite AoO song is between Endsmouth, The Hangman's Daughter, and Cosmic Dancer.

  • @Kroy5312

    dax riggs has been around 4 years. acid bath is 1 of my fav bands.

  • and fuckin' justin beiber is all over the world and this guy is trying to break in. yeah, life's not fair.

  • hes has such a powerful bluesy voice. God bless Louisiana, home of the 2 greatest vocalists of all-time:

    Philip Hansen Anselmo and Dax Riggs. they never fail to impress and kick ass

  • how can you compare dax to shinedown?!?! almost disgraceful...dax has been making music before shinedown was even thought of!

  • he reminds me of the vocalist from shinedown.

  • yea I like Daxe...I will not speak my mind.

  • awesome song

  • Dax would make a fine cover of Would?

  • well... Dax Riggs is my cousin :D

  • @hahabc13 Well let him know that I want to have his babies, k? XD

  • @SlashnBleed bahahahaha! ill ge right on that ;D

  • yes def. one of the most underrated vocalists of all time. i've had the chance to meet him a couple of times. he is a really cool guy.

  • Great version. Wish the audio didn't sound like a crinkled candy wrapper.

  • Dax is great, his voice is so very beautiful.

  • fucking gorgeous

  • dax is simply amazing

  • uh dax riggs is a god and as far as being a cookie cutter singer why dont you do us all a favor and go back down your hole throw on enter sandman and swallow a cup of knives

  • Since his "singing" voice hasn't changed at all since Acid Bath, how exactly did he "stand out" there but now is "cookie cutter"? If anything, is gutteral vocals in Acid Bath were far more cookie cutter - pretty standard hardcore/death metal vocals. Sounds like you're friends with one of the dropped bandmates and are now bitter.

  • @GlobalInventory Whoot! ^(*.*^)

  • I want to hump his face. <3

  • @SlashnBleed Me too. Sigh.

  • @categoryseven1 then y did u waste ur time on this vid?

  • @categoryseven1

    Ya, go listen to your no-talent hip-hop "singers" singing about pointless nonsense..

  • @kingchick34 That'd be Hip Pop, not Hip Hop. Real Hip Hop actually talks about real shit.

  • @MyNameIsKazza Lol, Hip Hop is shit.. it may talk about real shit.. its still pointless bullSHIT.

  • @AdoreYouInAshXI And that's your opinion.

  • I am not going to get into the whole debate that seems to be happening here about Dax not being the same after Acid Bath, I think he still has a lot of potential. I WILL SAY ONE THING THO! Whoever recorded/mixed this should be fucking shot. Send me the recording and I'll make it sound better in seconds, what fuckin joker mixed this ?!

  • i'll say it again, lol. look its anuther COOKIE CUTTER SINGER & HIS GUITAR!!!

  • damn he sounds like crap......keep sinking ego man keep on sinking

  • @MADRAVN420 Eat shit and die you faggot.

  • @SlashnBleed ...lol piss off. dax is just anuther cookie cutter vocalist with a huge ego. look he has no band backing him up,hmmmm oh yeah his swell head made him pay his band scraps so they bailed on his ego ass! he stood out in acid bath now he is just 1 of the crowd. i still say KEEP ON SINKING EGO MAN KEEP ON SINKING!
