Third Eye Blind - Slow Motion

[crimsonjunk]

Wont grow old to be a junky wino creep.

[upsidedownh3art]

What? I care who is better. I just dont want to live in a world where people are running around with the misconception that GNR is better than 3EB. 3EB owns their overrated asses.

[willardpatrick2000]

life is a bitch.

[rgncajun21]

Who the fuck cares who's better? Third Eye Blind's music appeals to me more than rowdy guns and roses music. Kay?

[dkewlguy]

by the way guns and roses is way better than this band. at least their songs have had more than 218,000 hits. but i do love this song... whcih is why im here right now...

[killerhunt0]

@dkewlguy Just because its mainstream doesn't mean its good. Views have nothing to do with how good music is. Many music gems are hidden. Like this band. =D Stop hatting and just "let go"

[olympicpenguin]

Miss Jones taught me English but I think I just shot her son. Cause he owed me money, with a bullet in chest you can not run. Now he is blleding in a vacant lot, the one in the summer where we used to smoke pot. I guess I didnt mean it. But man you should have seen it. His flesh explode. Slow Motion!

[commentqueen13]

Do you have lives?

[MrJenniferWaggoner]

On the quest for spiritual evolution?Tired of running endlessly into the same useless information?psychic abilities and powers, it is all possible.The revolution from within, THE-HIDDEN-SPIRITdotCOM

[rideBPbmx]

Whoever disliked this is deaf or doesnt know real music

[Slightlystoopid1990]

LMAO right when he says two lines of coke dude on the piano sitting there like damn that sounds good someone chop me one up now!!

[ShatteredGrace15]

people cream themselves when they heard the start

[PDrums1026]

3:06 OVER 9000!!!

[Pointless88]

@mcr07853

I actually think its just right, when you first hear it your like rofl but I don't think he could have sang that line any better it has so much emotion.

[halpittaway]

luv it

Later bathing in the afterglow

Two lines of coke I'd cut with Draino

And her nose starts to bleed

A most beautiful ruby red.

ruins the song at 3:09

[Lax00Syko]

@dkmfan33

Yeah.....if you're a pussy.

[brianberek]

@dkmfan33 Serious? You must like your music passion-free. Stick with Katy Perry then.

[TBW92]

melancholy at its finest... a masterpiece

[simensays]

lol was he playing the wrong intro in the beginning? Gosh i love this band!

[simensays]

@simensays or was he just teasing with Tattoo of the sun

[simensays]

@simensays or was he just teasing with Tattoo of the sun

[snorlaxxx23]

just amazing true feeling and sincerity through musical expression

[drock2life]

LMFAO @ 3:09

[MrPress22]

this a AWSOME video

[KMatteKudasaiC]

I had no idea he played guitar.. haha

[shoosh20]

Slow Motion, Motorcycle Drive By, and Wounded are probably the best 3EB songs. He's a great songwriter. I actually used some of the lyrics from this song (3:38-4:06) in a research paper a couple of years ago. They were perfect for what I was writing about.

[madseasoabove95]

The people that start cheering so loud when he starts the coke line are the idiots these stephen loves to laugh at. The idiots hes talking about in the song. Moron college aged dicks. To dumb to understand the song. Most sounded like women too. Sad american women..

[rs3nik]

@madseasoabove95 Yes and no. I think it was more so he said Get- Off and because he's attractive they were all like WOOO YEAH. I could be wrong though.

[demonicpete2103]

I will NEVER forgive my ex-friend for stealing the album with this on and the first album as well!!!!! What a total c**t

[Playapat24]

This is one of my fav. 3EB songs. They came to my school and I was hoping they would play it.....they finally did it as an encore and it was AMAZING!! Stephan actually said that he was glad he was able to play it at my school because most colleges won't let them.

[49merc123]

i honestly have to say i prefer panic at the disco's cover of this song

[RamFan2892]

@49merc123

nooo wayy man

[ChrisCJLChris]

He started to play Tattoo of the Sun in the opening seconds.

[olympicpenguin]

Classic song, not like by all because of the gravity of the lyrics. I love it, I consider it as 3EB's best song. Every time I hear that line " see my neighbour beating his wife, Because he hates his life" I get chills. 5/5 100/100 great song

[rbaygirl]

my sister's eating paint chips again, maybe that's why she's insane...

i close the door to her moaning and i shoot smack in my veins, wouldn't you???

[normlittlelady]

i saw them live two weeks ago. they are amazing.

[grayzbeardz]

this song is so amazing i just heard it like a week ago. new favorite

[diamonddollie89]

I seen them live and this song is sooooooo fucking good live WOW

[1991allies]

Third eye blind is the original best!

[prometheusjackson]

How about all of you song experts realize that you're retards?

[jazztrombone87]

best Third eye blind song ever made in my opinion.

[OrlandoMusicScene]

I love this version, with Tony doing the organ/piano parts.

I wish they still did it like this live.

[caseydarko]

I wish people actually understood the meaning of this song. It's all in the last verse.

[wabman]

it means what you want it to mean

[caseydarko]

no uh actually it has a meaning? most intelligent song writers put meaning into their lyrics. such as stephan jenkins.

[jimdivet]

i think the song would be better without the last verse,

its understandable without it, its just to literall and seems kinda like "hey, please understand our song" if you know what i mean

[jsd035]

a most beautiful ruby red

[benner33300gnr]

I agree about Guns... WOW I have such stupid nick... "gnr" FUCK! (I loved them once)

Its an amazing song with amazing lyrics.

[Dankes89]

Negative

[atomrcrkhsbiker]

fuck no

[manchild3589]

shut up you fucking waste of life.

[cyianite]

best song ever.. 3eb rocks till end

[lauj87]

Music in the park in San Jose CA June 18th....they will be there best part about it is...its free!

[tomtom3245]

please take some vids, damn I'd love to be there...

[xclamationpoint09]

my fav song by Third Eye Blind!

[A21gruBBs]

one more thing, what happened to Thrid eye blind?

[Litman15]

still going strong saw them 2 times in the past month

[A21gruBBs]

Does anyone else think he looks like Paul Rudd? anyway amazing son

[DeeperThanBones9]

Correction, Stephan Jenkins doesn't look like Paul Rudd. Paul Rudd looks like Stephan Jenkins.

[mariablatter]

@DeeperThanBones9

haha!! they're both gorgeous!!!

[DeeperThanBones9]

@mariablatter i still think Stephan Jenkins is hawter.

[rs3nik]

@DeeperThanBones9 lol!

[donoof95]

You can sing on the chorus, the Knocking on heavens door- gun n' roses chorus !!! OMG It's the same music !

[Litman15]

listen here negro it might sound similar to you but there are a thousand songs that sound the same in all of music because there is so much music out there it happens and probably not deliberately

[Scarletarabesque]

The negro makes that sound so racist. If you have to say something, please be respectful

[dkidsinemerica]

fuck that....Guns 'n' Roses sucks dick compared to 3eb mutha fucka

[Dankes89]

They are both amazing bands in two totally different musical genres. How could you even compare the two? Why are people on youtube so concerned with showing everybody how superior their musical tastes are? Thumbs down, man. Thumbs down.

[manchild3589]

i would agree, but GnR sucks dick, not compared to anyone

[zackeri2007]

@dkidsinemerica If you think that anything that these tools wrote justifies dogging Guns N' Roses YOU suck dick. This shit sucks. Not that Guns N' Roses is the greatest shit out there, don't get me wrong. At least Guns N' Roses doesn't owe their success to the Auto-Tune option in ProTools.

[thepeanutlord]

@dkidsinemerica Are you mentally retarded?

I am not saying this aint good, cause it is. But I dont think you have ever heard through Appetite even once, if that is your opinnion of g'n'r

[g0atBallz420]

@thepeanutlord guns and roses blows

[thepeanutlord]

@g0atBallz420 Your name is goatballs, that is all I am going to say to that.

[g0atBallz420]

@thepeanutlord goatballs420 actually..plus your name is peanutlord faggot

[thepeanutlord]

@g0atBallz420 Hey! I am the lord of the fucking peanuts! You better straighten up and show me some damn respect kiddo! Can you even begin to comprehend the powers are invested in me? No make me a peanutbutter sammich bitch!

[g0atBallz420]

@thepeanutlord omgg good job that was the funniest thing ive ever heardd!! good job man

[TheTeamSpice]

@dkidsinemerica How is there any basis of comparison? They're in two completely seperate veins of music.

[alexunderpants]

The line wasn't "too strong" for no reason. The contrast is poetic and the line should be strong because he's talking about being angry. Maybe at himself. The rest of the song is controlled except for this line and instead of criticizing it you should ask yourself why. This performance is epic

[jtotheatothectothek]

The beginning's intro with the beautiful picking sounds strikingly like "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch.

Anyone else see the resemblance?

[drewcrew3117]

i thought they were dating at some point?

[ASharpKnife]

Haha, no he was dating Vanessa Carlton. :P

[JustinorRetarded]

the very begining of this video is the end of th esong "tattoo of the sun"

but idontknow if thats what you were talking about?

[geeksquadfilmz]

Actually the intro is from their song, "Tattoo of The Sun". Look it up, it is pretty good.

[XxDoctorAnimosoxX]

GAH I LOVE THEM!!! People say they appreciate rock music, but have no idea who Third Eye Blind is...i don't see how it's possible. Lol. :D

[mixie0320]

they were even better than i remember them and they playe songs from their new cd which should be out in the next 5 months WHICH were also amazing amazing amazing

[mixie0320]

Im seeing them tonight, i cant effing wait.

[neoyoung420]

whats your excuse?? the jokes on you...;]

[mesaenz]

Is there a DVD of this concert????

[donstsnj]

This is off their second album in 99. It was hardly "the" album and hardly "the" mid nineties, bro.

[cowboykitty454]

yeah, just a lil, its a powerful line and all, it deserves to be emphasized, but yeah hah a lil much

[jteddy31]

This CD was the CD of the mid 90s...hands down..and I am hardly a fan of them

[ruinedwithregret]

@jteddy31 it was a great CD...but not of the mid 90's lol it came out in 1999 and the full version of this song wasn't on it unfortunately.

[ladyaqualls]

Perfect!

[jtotheatothectothek]

whats the song he's playing in the beginning?

I recognize the guitar from some song i just can't think of it help?

[atlascomesnow]

Tattoo Of The Sun

[DemolitionLoversx77]

yeah, i heard panic's cover so i had to hear the original...

ANDDDDD

i <3 it

[saplingg]

good call.. patd covers lots of good songs but oftentimes don't do them justice

[kmg12]

Only heard about 3eb recently. They are great! Got their greatest hits and every single song is awesome.

[rgncajun21]

I will always love TEB! I grew up on their music back in Cali back in the 90s!

[cubbiesfan28]

i love this song

[omgcheesenips]

Urrburrr...

Good thing you can spell peoples names right. its not Brendon Urine. ITS URIE! no n

[pimpedchimp]

Brendon Urie (Panic at the Disco) do a pretty good cover of this,

[prutske108]

i don't like the expression on his face

[levey24]

hes not a bad guitar player ... the lead is really really good, but hes not bad at all

[VANJo2418]

Stephan is such an AWESOME lyricist! This song is such an ugly truth in a beautiful song! He is amazing - only he can do that! Death lies close to me... I won't grow old to be... Effin' AWESOME! Heard the new album will be called Red Start - can't wait!

[VANJo2418]

Sorry typo... Red Star (not Red Start)

[Jeremy92929]

Actually its called Ursa Major

There's just an EP called Red Star

[bonjorava]

what concert was this? Location or event, anything helps!

what a perfect performance :)

[bucksoir]

See "non-dairy creamer"...

[saxamaphone720]

This song is awesome, i cant wait for the new album to come out.

[ArcticSeconds]

this song just gets to you

[Urrburrr]

Wow, so. Stephan is sexy! And all you people that say Brendan Urine's version is better can suck it! :D This is the original and best version, period.

<3333 TEB is amazing!!

[ilike999999999]

legendary

[ku4ndy4nu5]

TEB THE BEST

[rosycheeks93]

CLASSIC :)

[Zear0]

best 3eb song

[ArcticSeconds]

this song just gets you

[spells14]

love this song, i know all the lyrics by heart

[adrianbrown89]

same here, awesome song :-)

[xXhailofbulletsXx]

i luv this song so friggen much! too bad other people cant just enjoy it. they have to ruin it by comparing it to panic at the disco. who cares?! just watch the amasing video and get over it!

[lojostar]

exactly,

you have to remember who wrote the fricking song!

xxx

[vivalakirsty]

I like Panic At The Disco and TEB, the Panic cover was pretty good, but the original is way better! This wasn't so good, but it wasn't bad either.

[MrCanson]

Is there a version of this with lyrics on cd?

[jtotheatothectothek]

on Third EYe Blind: A COllection

[gnrrox33]

is it just me or does this into remind you of little wing intro by Hendrix?

[tylerdevillier]

it's just you

[thetoothhurts]

I like TEB and Panic. Probably like third eye more. But in no way is this performance better than the Panic cover. The screaming in this is terrible. Now the CD version is way better than panics. But this one? No way. Stevens voice is diminishing.

[phinswr82]

panic takes so much influence from TEB, so who cares?? I must say, Steven's screaming is much more awesome on the record, but not half bad...with all the stuff they do, it's hard to imitate that phenomenal record sound on stage

[backtotrevor]

haha, i dont know how this whole panic at the disco vs. third eye blind fight got started, but its prettttyy ridiculous. think what you want of either band, but stop being five years old and fighting through youtube comments. enjoy the page for the reason you came to it in the first place, which is to watch an amazing performance caught on tape. i've got my opinions on each band too, don't get me wrong, but this is such a stupid place to voice them and fight over them.

[rockoutwithmebaby]

i like more with panic....

[iou1galaxy00]

until anybody on here can write a better song than panic, shut the hell up!

[revolve1846]

Why should we? We arent musicians. I'm sure plenty of people could right a song better than them anyway..

PATD is a excuse for being a band. IMO.

[flanagandrew]

Panic at the Disco was signed because Pete Wentz,the super emo bass player from Fall Out Boy, heard their demo and liked it. That said, Panic at the Disco is a hell of a lot better than Fall Out Boy. They're not everyone's taste, and they're a bit of a teenie bopper band, but still they write self-aware lyrics and play an unusual sort of Dance-punk that many people like. How do you think Third Eye Blind got signed? Every single modern, major label band was signed because they were marketable

[flanagandrew]

remember, some bands that are marketable are also good. People enjoy music on a range of different levels.

[shondrikajohnson]

Third Eye Blind wasn't signed because they were marketable, they write good songs with meaning. They were drug addicts and were independent years before they were signed to a major label. Dont even try comparing panic and teb

[flanagandrew]

Well obviously I prefer 3eb, but I don't bite people who prefer Panic.

[yourappersareshit]

all this mention of panic in the disco makes me feel old... I didnt even know they did a cover until I can looking for this teb song.. I used to relate a hell of a lot to teb when I was a 17 year old meth addict :D

[caztastrophe]

the first version i ever heard of this was panic's because my friend sent it too me, but hearing how good panic did it just made me want to listen to the original which is even better.

surely its a good thing younger kids can do the same, discover third eye blind because of bands like panic covering a song or praising them as he does in the live video?

[echobirdie]

man TEB you should kill Panic ATD like you killed Timmy.

///// His flesh explode

[manetoys]

LOL.

[kingcobra6188]

ide want to see that.were is celebrity death match when you need it

[bitemytounge3]

this is the most beautiful song ever written

[xgrrrl111]

fuck yeah I miss u Richard...........Clara

[546546365465435436]

AMAZING.

[unclenk]

oh these words ...how true how true - what's your excuse?

[ntucker88]

yes its a satire of rap music but it explains impovished horrible surroundings that exist in America, which forms of rap music steam from and how white america likes to romanticize it (didn't mean to sound too preachy but...)

[notemogangsta69]

It isn't a satire of rap at all, it is attacking the hollywood media, for their promotion of drug use and violence

[shondrikajohnson]

panic at the disco is a fag band, they got signed before they even played a show they are the definition of mainstream/hollywood bands.. they have prob. never even toured in a van.

[KuronoMizu]

Heeyy, they never really got a chance to perform live because they were a bunch of teens in the middle of NOWHERE (aka Nevada) ....their options were cheesy joints in Vegas or random hotdog stands out in little nowhere-spots....They got signed 'cause they were GOOD and had potential. Do your research^^

and wtf is a Hollywood band, that doesn't even make sense... And how could they NOT have toured in a van? what's the alternative, besides planes? o_0

[shondrikajohnson]

your stupid, they got signed because they were marketable to 14 year olds on myspace. I saw an interview with them and they even said that they were signed without playing a single show.. dont rely on everything you hear. and buses aren't vans.

[KuronoMizu]

Hey, don't make personal attacks, kay? And I never even said they played any shows before they got signed; in fact I was naming the sucky "options" for venues out there, which was likely why they never played.

They can't help that ignorant teenyboppers fangirl over them--truth is, they feel sorta odd about it (mentioned in an interview). Most of those kids just like them b/c they're hot...>.> Anyway, they also appeal to a wide range of people-- who actually get their music, thankfully^^

[Ever5890]

what year is this?

[flamert]

Panic! had a better soundguy

[Alanalicious]

speaking of how originals are better, does anyonw know where i can find the origianl demo with the chorus "slow motion in the ghetto"?

[Alanalicious]

speaking of how originals are better, does anyonw know where i can find the origianl demo with the chorus "slow motion in the ghetto"?

[bunnygirl94]

great song

[mratomix]

Does anyone know where this was?

[chris71388]

Vegas?

[Yourpaco]

Chelsea? possibly

[motty32]

house of blues

[CrazyJ283723]

3EB is better at this song then panic i mean 3EB wrote it

[Yourpaco]

i agree man. You can't beat the original.

[fuckmynameup]

You can't beat the original but you can be good! Panic does this great,just that 3EB have another sound!

[Kexogoesmcrlover]

he have a bad pronunciation, brendon is better at that.

but hey, orginal is the best. but i to prefer panic!
