I wonder if he listened to the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" and thought--"mmm great riff--I'll put a different song to it. That's it!" I am not making fun of him, I really like him and this song.
Jakob Dylan is so great. I love the way he sings. Its so nice, so raw. Plus, he's the absolute most gorgeous man i've ever seen in my life. musically inclined AND handsome. mmm. :) great video.
I wasn't asking that in reference to Jakob Dylan himself, but the directors who shoot their music videos and don't seem to understand the songs at all. This album in particular is quite dark and austere, but the videos make them seem a like huge commercial product like something shot for the Backstreet Boys or U2. The Wallflowers' music isn't just about Jake or his good looks - in fact it has virtually nothing to do with the latter.
Ohhhh, i understand now. lol. I totally agree with you. This album was actually pretty dark, and it both depresses me and makes me happy at the same time. Which might be hard to understand. I love the music but it it indeed dark and it makes me sad when i listen to it.
they do make more of him, melissa! he is awesome and one of a kind, no doubt, but giiiiirl, there are so many mindblowing men to meet. he can set your standard, and then just open your eyes and go on some adventures. love has some crazy disguises . . .
Oh gosh yes. 94 was my best year ever. I will never feel that way again. Sometimes it hurts to hear these songs because there are so many memories that rush back to me.
I apologize for my rudeness. It just seemed odd to me that no one would know this song as the album charted #4 for several weeks in 1997, with this track in the top 25. Admittedly it was never as popular as One Head Light. This was my favorite album at the time.
6th Avenue Heartache is also a great track. Adam Duritz sing backing vocals on it and they sound amazing together. I saw the WallFlowers at summerfest in Milwaukee and their first number was 6th Avenue heart and when the first chorus started Adam Duritz walked out and sang backup. It was cool because there was no mention made of his being there. The crowd went crazy. Marcus Amphatheater in Milwaukee is a great place to see a show btw.
I think to play this song you need a capo on the 3'rd fret and it is just two power chords going back and forth, you can hear it on the song, it sounds easy. Hope that helped a little. By the way great song!
please dont read this ! ! ! ! u will get kissed on the nearest possible fridayby the love of ur life. 2morrow will be the best day of ur life. however if u dont post this comment to a least 3 videos u will die in 2 days. now uv started readin this so dont stop now ! this is sooo scary send this to at least 5 videos in 143 MINUTES when ur done press f6 and ur crushes name will appear on the screen in BIG letters this is sooo scary cuz it actually works ! ! ! ! ! ! !
ha ha ha...lol...I am a fan of Jakob...but that's a very funny observation...thanks...but to be honest I think it's taken some of the luster off the song...he he...
bamerault, this song does not sound anything like "If Not For You." And I believe "My Sweet Lord" is George Harrison's most popular song; if I'm not mistaken. Have a good day.
JeffRebornNow, I don't think you've listened to the main chord progression. I didn't say that "if not for you" was George Harrison's mos famous song, what I did say was that his version of "if not for you" is the most popular. You're a little confused, this is a video site, go to George Harrison' "if not for you", the lead guitar chords are in "slide" but they're the same.
Oh god...him soaked just makes him even more hotter...i love his eyes..i love his voice..it sends chills down my spine..and all of his songs have such a deep meaning behind them..he deserves to be famous <3
Anyone else think that this video used matrix-like effects...before the matrix? You know with the freeze-frame-rotation stuff. Obviously not as good as the movie, but looked really cool the first time I saw it.
Musical taste is subjective. Great music is too diverse and is impossible to rank. The self-appointed experts at Rolling Stone magazine try to do it by putting anything by Dylan and obscure music no one ever heard of on all their 'greatest' lists. It's just opinions.
I wouldn't walk across the street to hear his father, but this guy is good. This guy sings decent and in tune, something Bob Dylan never accomplished.
Completely disagree man. Bob dylan isn't about his singing, he's about his lyrics, dont get me wrong, I think that man can sing, but thats not why he's brilliant, it's his words and his mind.
You're free to disagree. Personally, I don't care much for protest/overly political type music. Same with film. I'd rather be entertained than preached to by these people.
I prefer lyrics about things in life that are common to us all. Some of Dylan's songs are ok but there are scores of better singer-songwriters than him who have written better songs.
But thats your opinion. Some people relate to dylan's songs and some people dont. Im just saying you dont need to bash an artist because you dont like them, listen to music you relate to and let others listen to music that they relate to instead of putting it down.
Dylan actually hates political music, too... and has since the mid 60s. "The Times They Are A-Changin" (1964) was his last "political" album. After that, he actually publically detached himself from political music. Anyone who thinks Dylans music (as a whole) is political hasn't listened to him.
Actually, I think his best song was 'I shall be released', a non-political number. I didn't even know that he'd written it. I heard Joe Cocker sing it a hundred years ago and was blown away. You rarely hear Cocker's version anymore but it's the best to me. There's other versions including one by Chrissy Hynde on youtube(yuck). This goes to my point - Dylan wrote some good songs but other people are much better at singing them.
Not being a fan of Dylan, your point that he hasn't done political music is taken. However, that's what he started on and is most known for. As far as listening goes, I've heard what everyone else has - you're right, I've never listened to his albums. There was nothing of Dylan's I've ever heard that would motivate me to listen to any of his albums.
not to change the subject, but... i was just listenin to the arcangels, now the wallflowers, and imma listen to some counting crows after. these three bands really connect with somethin i'm feelin right now. ok, sorry to interupt...
go fuck yourself tubertime. original songwriting and music will always outclass shitty manufactured boy bands like your idols fallout boy will ever do. yes it's similar to velvet underground but he actually knew those people and was influenced by them. i am sure Reed would be proud to see his influence on a new generation. The Wallflowers are great, it's just the fact that mainstream music today sucks. The killers are alright, don't get me wrong, but Jakob grew up with The Band... enough said
vu's influence is nowhere to be found here; the wallflowers have taken the 3 chord progression and turned it into a soft, mushy, quintessential easy-listening mid 90's pop hit - everything that lou reed would have spat on. it's a very simple, common progression so i wouldn't charge the wallflowers with stealing it from VU (unless we charge countless other bands and songs as well), but honestly now, the VU was rock and roll. this is the wallflowers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The guy comparing the wallflowers to the killers and fallout boy is totally right on. The Wallflowers are the epitome of crappy mainstream sellout rock from the 90's. Total vapid music, void or originality.
Well,if you have to lift the lick from "Sweet Jane" you'd better write a good song around it. Well done,W's. (I'm enamoured of this song becaquse I was once enamoured of a woman who was actually three women. One of which was not averse to turning a trick just to get from A to B. Broke a third of my heart three times...)
--noun 1. of or pertaining to a movement espousing a broad range of philosophies and practices traditionally viewed as occult, metaphysical, or paranormal.

why are people talking about the killers? besides the fact that comparing bands is ridiculous the killers dont even sound like the wallflowers at all and also, the killers suck. so...I just dont understand
uhm okay...i like how you say that the wallflowers are "new age" when they came out about 15 years ago. Their first album came out in 92', so why dont you explain to me how they're "new age"? =)
hi there, in my comment i didn't mention that the wallflowers are new age. i said that the killers, fall out boy and other bands of the same kind are a bunch of wankers. i have nothing but respect for the wallflowers, in fact i was real glad i got to hear this song after so long. cheers : )
This is my favoirte Wallflowers video. I love how surreal it is. The Wallflowers are SUCH AN UNDERRATED BAND! Has anyone ever heard "Rebel, Sweetheart"? That's such an amazing album!

the killers, fall out boy and all these new age (so-called) rock bands are a bunch of wankers.

uhm okay...i like how you say that the wallflowers are "new age" when they came out about 15 years ago. Their first album came out in 92', so why dont you explain to me how they're "new age"? =)
