Toadies, I Came from the Water

[MattyKB]

saw the toadies, civ, and brutal juice all in one show in winston salem nc 1994. best show I have ever seen

[420BIGTEX]

HELL YEAH TEXAS WATER.LOL

[Z28Ruiner]

Ive posted on this vid b4, Im doing it again. Bought this disc brandy new the day it popped in the 90's. I've seen them live. These guys were truly something to behold.

[gilttu]

Toadies are the shiznit....awesome band

[dirtmerchant1980]

this is a nice rendition, but it doesnt come close to the electric. they were touring around here a couple years back and had been doing these accoustic sets, and it was rumored that the show at my local casino would be unplugged as well, but thank god they showed up with the heavy equipment and rocked it the fuck out. they opened with this song, and you could see half way through it, they kind of looked at each other on stage like, "holy shit, we got a crowd here".

[mconley29]

bad ass

[Soulendeavor]

I got what I came for!

[CountBoogie]

This really is a fantastic song...and will always be.

[shagemslow]

how could you not like this?? sounds great!!

[Dancolehawk]

4 people came from the land

[TheGODOFDEBAUCHERY]

FUK YEA IN NOLA======TOADIES LAST GOOD BAND STANDING ~G.O.D~

[masterdeathify]

@TheGODOFDEBAUCHERY what about red hot chili peppers? or soundgarden? last 3 bands is more like it :P

[WingsOfTheMind]

@masterdeathify You are right. I put those peppers at #1 modern band. Radiohead is dynamical! The catch 22 is that there are several in the shadows, who are on "hiatus" to us, but only building talent and getting more in tune(this is easier to do out of the spotlight and only in light of what is real..to them). Weezer is one I really respect, as is Third Eye Blind. Soundgarden was great, as was STP and Pearl Jam. Anyone of them can get back together and turn music upsidedown again. Whos next?

[WingsOfTheMind]

@WingsOfTheMind I'm sorry, I missed alot of modern bands... but I had to come back and mention one I forgot that had huuuuge impact. The Smashing Pumpkins!!!! Oh, while I'm here... collective soul, silverchair, rage against the machine, and creed are very, very honorable mentions. :)

[WingsOfTheMind]

@WingsOfTheMind You idiot!! You forgot The Cure and Greenday!

[masterdeathify]

@WingsOfTheMind wait wait wait.... creed? seriously? everything else is a good choice, but they and nickelback killed grunge. creed is poopie XC

[WingsOfTheMind]

@masterdeathify HaHa. They were good like it or not. Oh and um Nickleback didn't kill shyt. Mabe Creed because they were good. But not not nickelinmypocketplease.

[masterdeathify]

@WingsOfTheMind Janes Addiction for one. September 27. >:)

[WingsOfTheMind]

@masterdeathify Very Nice. Foo Fighters are not done either... I have a feeling. JanesAdd is one I will keep an eye on. Thanks, that date is in mind. Hope I can see them in Houston... if they come. I do like them.

[masterdeathify]

@WingsOfTheMind I know, my grandpa died on the 27th of september nearly 20 years ago. and then i was born on the 28th of sept. @.@

[WingsOfTheMind]

@masterdeathify So can we get a number two?

[Ozzy121218]

I came ;)

[jakesbaja]

I came in the water.

[chaosvschoco]

kind of reminds me of true blood.

[kontroledkos]

is this in a lower tuning...like drop D or something..?

[h4723d]

@kontroledkos sounds that way huh?

[nhlturtle87]

@kontroledkos nah i play it with it and it sounds just right adn they're playing it the same way

[americathinks1]

TEXAS!

[WingsOfTheMind]

nice acoustic version, though it doesn't really do the original justice.

[aFaceInside]

@WingsOfTheMind My humble opinion, but anything acoustic & live is far better. It proves to me that they are musicians who created something using talents, not just machines in some studio. This whole video to me is like heaven even though its a simple recording of a song! :)

[WingsOfTheMind]

@aFaceInside There is no bass. There are no drums. The original feeling of coming out and like it or not its here... was gone here. They catered to knowing it was successful. That is why I say that. You can hardly ever do an original justice. In my "humble opinion" this is like half of the song. They excel at this acoustic though, don't get me wrong... but they excel at songwriting period. The original throws more vibes.

[ash2ash81]

@WingsOfTheMind yes,the original "throws more vibes" (i like your humble opinion) but as i hate seeing bands perform live,-as they so often tend to disapoint- these guys played their song. it sounded like their song. it waaaaaas good. no doubt. like mamma said "if ya cant say nothin nice......" love

[WingsOfTheMind]

@ash2ash81 I like this video. The Toadies always have my love for what they did... no matter what they do. I give, damnitt!! This is great!!! You all happy? I still prefer the original to this. Call it what it is... opinion. We all have that right. Btw... your momma is a smart woman. :)

[WingsOfTheMind]

Respond to this video... @aFaceInside However.... I Burn would be badass on acoustic because it is about being purified. Acoustic is about simplicity which equals purification.

[aclick97]

i just learned how to play it

[marina1ization]

I love evolution songs!

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

@marina1ization I like songs about Creationism.

[stillnobodysnothing]

what a fantastic job !!! i still love Tyler the best i can put it on repeat an listen till my neighbors get pissed an ask me to cut it off

[musicmydrug10]

What a raw song! Just love it! Love the key the guitar is played in... Fabulous lyrics, I guess this is where the Toadies come from?The Water? It's very simple & has a nice Rock-n-Roll-feel to it.... Nice performance!!! 

[JerseyZ28]

Gotta love songs about tadpoles......

[FluffyLizards]

I disliked because the name is slept wrong, this song is fucking fantastic though.

[TKeoghXV]

@FluffyLizards I disliked your comment because you spelled "spelled" wrong

[fatetx]

I come from the water really early in the lakes around the texas areas nothing like IT IS TOTALLY GOD COUNTRY!!! AND A PARTY PLACE SINCE THE LATE 60'S LIKE 69!!! love this band!!!

[gladiolator]

I thought it was about mexican immigrants since we come from th 'river' and we left our brother and sister there' jajajja

[ducky3d]

One of the best songs ever. XD

[darealdjnutz]

I was told this song is about a Mexican swimming to America.

[FartFaceJimmy]

Huh, never thought of that. Makes sense I guess. I always thought it was an evolution thing too.

[TheTexasBastard]

@darealdjnutz Crossing The Rio Grande AKA The Rio Stinky.Have you ever been to Laredo and took a good wiff of The Rio Grande? Its a cesspool.

[vikingleprechaun]

This is an Evolution lesson

[Seanvampire]

This song is totally about Godzilla

[rozozzy]

@Seanvampire LOL verrry funny..thanks

[vampchickie6]

sea monsters !! ^ . ^ rawr

[CN073]

It sounds great, but man they are getting old. makes me feel old..

[sethy1]

old ass.

[fwbrc51]

years later acoustic and it sounds great. good job guys.

[Wintery1978]

Stumbled on this by accident. I love it. Nice version! : )

[HardstyleFlavour6]

change it to I come from the water D':

please? aha, it bothers me a lot...

other than that...this sounds amazing.

[robotaholic]

omgomg this version rules- but i heart the album vs also - hey they are playing TONIGHT at diamond ballroom in Oklahoma city but tickets are sold out - i'm gonna cry!!!

[OphidianOracle]

Ive always wondered if the song was about the theory of eveolution.

[tzohfeld]

That's a very valid point! I never thought of it that way, I always thought of it from a war standpoint. Hm

[OphidianOracle]

Im a musician, and ive always loved the fact that music is so very subject to a wide array of interpritation. One of the most subjective forms of art.

[tzohfeld]

Yeah I play guitar, and sing in a band. Interpretation of lyrics is definitely one of my favorite things in music :D

[kosmiclogic]

isn't this song called I come from the water?

[sheff76]

wow, as good as seeing them at avalon in boston in 1995. a very cool band with a lot to offer those who had enuff soul to listen

[TheBigKiller]

I CAME!

[theeyeburninglight]

holy fuck

spin magazine can't get it right?

It's called I COME from the water

not I CAME from the water

[TheCoffeeGrind]

People don't listen to lyrics apparently. I hadn't even heard anything from this band, I think, until I saw this and I can tell by the lyrics.

[theeyeburninglight]

Exactly

[THECORNDOGKING]

@theeyeburninglight I came in the water?

[theeyeburninglight]

@THECORNDOGKING Congratulations!

[amandaggogo]

@theeyeburninglight Glad someone else noticed this.

[jpmacp903]

@theeyeburninglight They used to come from the water when they lived near Possum Kingdom. Now they do not so I guess they came from the water now!

[luke197325]

where you get the rest of the set man???

these guys are awsome accoustic!!!

[wenahaone]

nice, dude.
