I dont care about the fighting between one singer or another all I know for myself is that If she would have been in more SP songs after becX I would have bought more of there stuff.
I love all the ridiculously hipster comments on this video. Quit bitching about how awful music is today, I'm completely tired of you acting like the 90s were hot shit. If anything they were worse than what we have now, good music was completely buried in shitty pop music. Good music is a lot more accessible these days in my opinion.
The major major difference folks between Today & this songs era -1996-1997 is that if a "lady gaga" came out & hit the charts she would be gone by the next year or even a few months!.. plenty of great music was overlapping itself in all genres in the 90's. Now with the pickings so slim casual radio listeners are clinging on to whatever they can to make their day feel sane, with all the anti-depressants out i'm not suprised at the dumbing down quality & passive society, wake up ppl!
It wasn't so much who the lead singer for this band, I think that misses the point. What made It great was this late 90's "era" vibe/production.. the type of sound that was going around especially in trip-hop as It was constantly being innovative. 90's had a vibe just like every other decade.. this decade has absolutely no identity.. The biggest bands now like Radiohead are even producing average albums there's no "Ok Computer", album format is dead whats left, revolutionary itune singles!? lol
Look, I liked the Sneaker Pimps of Kelli years, but Chris's voice has something in it...like he's really feeling every single lyric he's singing. I believe him when he sings. And his voice screams passion/sex.
Personally I'm happy he moved on to IAMX because the Kelli/Chris comparison war was tiresome. All I ask is that you (anybody) take a listen to something like 'This Will Make You Love Again' and tell me you still prefer Kelli's comparatively average voice and presence.
@urbanr0cker I just lostned to this will make...For the first time.WOW!!!What a song.Id really digg it if he sang this song!!!it would go from awesome to EPIC That quick.
@urbanr0cker I just listened to this will make...For the first time.WOW!!!What a song.Id really digg it if he sang this song!!!it would go from awesome to EPIC That quick.
I don't care about the chris kelli drama. this was an album that I loved when I was young. Why do you trolls always have to argue like people give a fuck what you have to say? Its just good music. Listen and remember.
Anyways, I love this song. This has got to be my favorite tune from these guys, and yes, it's a shame they had to disband. I never fancied the later Sneaker Pimps without Kelli, I agree, the band with her was on a whole different level. As much writing or creation as Chris did, the band wouldn't of had their moment in fame had it not been for Kelli. Sorry but it's true.
And a little note for CuuijqyMuruqdte, and as kittyfook12 already said... Chris wrote ALL the music/lyrics. And yeah, if she's so awesome and pro, why didn't her solo album pop up? Her solo album sucks balls in every single way.
I don't know... I try to listen to her, but she sounds completely dry to me. Her vocals are sweet, but not special. Won't deny that 6Underground/Walk the rain/SpinSpinSugar are amazing, but she doesn't have any charisma or energy at all. Chris delivers that in EVERY single way. The only reason the band didn't make it with Chris is that when he sings, it's not background music anymore. People had Kelli up the charts because she had a radio-friendly voice. People would jizz every time Chris sings.
Kelli was their ticket to fame and that fucker did her wrong. Jealous bastard should rot in hell. Just look at the charts which songs did better. Had Chris sang in that first album, me and you wouldn't even know about the Sneaker Pimps.
@MassiveMarket Yes, but with the difference that THIS here music came out in a time where almost everything was cool, and not just poser shit like today. Nowadays, any stupid little thing of an artist pops up, everyone immediately jumps on his dick and sucks on it like there's no tomorrow. Or am I wrong?
@CuuijqyMuruqdte Fair enough, music has taken a horrible turn, true. Still, even back in the 90s there were many amazing bands so low on popularity you'd have to dig for them. And well, in a way Kelli should be happy they let her go, because now she has a solo career and can work independetly and follow her own vision. And if you tell me "Kelli's solo work isn't so good." then obviously she would have never been popular without the people in Sneaker Pimps who actually wrote the music.
@MassiveMarket I'll tell you this much, some things are better left untouched. Why fix what isn't broken,? Chris tried to take the spotlight from Kelli and the bastard just fucked everything up. It just backfired on his ass.
@CuuijqyMuruqdte I agree.. sad.. yk2 generation is here now.. y? I feel a hole in how to enjoy music amongst ppl/ relate to anyone caught up in this era because It's just not the same, heck mtv turned into full-time reality shows, album formats are dead as dead, all anyone cares about is finding common ground socially now ppl run around on cell phones.. constantly & facebook(ugh) & they care about the ringtone on a phone & being "in" at the moment vs the integrity & depth of music, nobody cares!
@CuuijqyMuruqdte that "selfish fag" wrote most (if not all) of Becoming X, so in that sense, he had a right to be selfish. He was a part of that band because he was an ORIGINAL FOUNDER of the band. Kelli's good, but if she's THAT good, then why hasn't her solo career taken off? SHE complimented the band (very well), but they're good w/o her too. if you listen to the music just because she's sexy (which I'm not denying, just stating) then maybe you should just be listening to pop.
they were a great band regardless. becoming x and splinter were both brilliant albums, but theres just something about this band when they first came out. so cool. stood out from the 'trip hop' sound for me.
as much as I wanted to dislike Sneaker Pimps without Kelli, I actually like their output. although this album is their best. every track is worth listening to.
i thought she had some inspiration from portis head when she did this particular track. the entire album is innovative and amazing. very soulfull and thought out.
nah she got fired because the other band members who noblody has ever heard of wanted to do the vocals on the songs nobody has heard off. what of bunch of fucking mugs.
FC Kahuna 'Hayling' Zero 7 'In The Waiting Line' & 'Home [live]' Moloko 'The Time Is Now' Massive Attack 'Teardrop' & 'Angel' ..other Sneaker Pimp tracks... How Do Six Underground Post Modern Sleaze Wasted Early Sunday Morning Walking Zero Becoming X
The Sea is cool, but this song transports you in their world (without sounding prententious). In comparison the sea is just a laid back chill out song. The artistry in this one is so emotive... love it!
THIS RIGHT HERE!!! IS KELLY ALI AT HER FINEST!! I JUST GET CHILLS WITH THIS SONG!! Beautiful!! I really miss her with the pimps.. Thanks for the Post, I was gonna post it up too, but now i see you beat me to it..
Music is such crap today. The 90's was great. Music today is completely buried in shitty pop music. Good music isn't accessible these days.
