Collective Soul - Better Now

[abrockflower]

Why it can't be replaying automatically!!!! I'm tired of clicking "replay" button again and again!!! :D :D ♥ ♥

[TOMMYBOY1027]

i love them

[MakeYouFeelBetterNow]

Fans should listen to their recent album, it's the best so far imo.

[carminefast77]

every single kid on that stage will remember this for the rest of their life.

[Comasca611]

love his spastic moves!!!

[Nivag38]

Anyone find this version better than the recorded one? :)

[GuitarChickSG1]

It's so great to see all those kids feeling what it's like to ROCK for an audience. It's a high you never forget.

[Ace2206]

God I wish I was there. That looked like an amazing concert

[johnnyboync1]

the crowd...lucky bastards

[60twc]

at 3:50 onwards is funny .

[dicasey1956]

Favourite all time live music video. Unbelievable'

[Primetime4549]

Does anyone know where I can get the tab for this version? I wanna make my own arrangement with some of the riffs of this with the sax solo in the studio version.

[psabotka]

@Primetime4549 a good basis for what Joel's is simply bringing the chords up an octave and playing the individual notes. Near the end he kinda goes nuts but you can work it by ear until it sounds right.

[rafalweb]

When I first heard the song, I thought it was David Bowie, but no I know better. Great stuff.

[ccmusicfan1]

why doesn't the rest of the world not realize the talent that these guys have???

[mcaito]

good question

[ccmusicfan1]

My favorite is the coverage of their time in Morocco. Ironically enough, they are originally from a small town south of Atlanta.....45 mins from where I live. If only they did more local "gigs".

[Neville6000]

@ccmusicfan1: It did and it has-tastes just changed, that's all. And this song was a Top Ten hit back in 2004, so they aren't hurting or lacking for attention, obviously.

[AnywhereButHere09]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E! ! ! !

[JohnCrampton98]

I LOVE the raw ENERGY these guys bring with this song! I would kill to have been there for this! Cant go wrong with Collective Soul

[Bigrobkerr]

I actually did kill (my friends dog) to be at this show.I had a great time but I felt bad for my friend afterwards .

[Sexyboy5921]

Amazing Band great preformance by Collective soul

[BR3AK1TD0WN]

Ed Roland is one HELL of a showman

[gunsforkids]

Now, that is rock 'n' roll

[Ginoffvine]

terrific

[wondaful9]

I saw this on TV a few years ago. They keep that one line going for hrs lol and the band comes back and sings it with them. It was amazing! And i love the solo! :D

[Neville6000]

Boy, do I miss the '90's.

[tripps1997]

This song isn't from the 90's....I think it was released in 2004.

[Sexyboy5921]

@tripps1997 yes u are very right it was released in 2004 on there youth album

[RonCheneler]

@tripps1997 wrong you are

[tripps1997]

@RonCheneler No, I'm not....Better Now is from the album Youth, realeased November, 2004.

[RonCheneler]

@tripps1997 "Better Now" is a 2004 song by the American alternative rock band Collective Soul, released on their 2004 album, Youth. It was written by singer/guitarist Ed Roland and producer Dexter Green.

The coda features a saxophone solo. In concert, this is replaced with a guitar solo. The radio edit version also includes a guitar solo. Also unusual for a rock song, the bass doesn't come in until the first chorus, and plays prominent alternating root / fifth quarter notes.

[huffy216]

Around 1:58 is a great moment, but the whole thing rocks! Great live performance of a great song by one of the best bands ever!

[iLikeKeystone87]

amazing!!!

[OpenDoerr]

Jole Kosch playing a Mirage guitar jacked into an AC30 pushing a Marshal cab = most epic rock riff tone ever.

[lgoff2002]

Right? He fucking roxxx!

Let's>> together,, let's all get his name right incase we come face to face! Teehee!!

" Joel Kosche"

He da MAN!!

Thanks so much!! Open Doerr!! You rock!

[bl33dingme]

I saw them in Cincinnati and he played his Mirage through 4 Ac30's and again it was the best tone ever... What kind of Marshall cabs are those in this vid? They're huge...

[tiniweeniemartini]

amazing!

[CountDraculer]

they sound great live

[Johnbonham911]

I was just waiting for Ed to start doing riverdance or something. Funny guy.

[YourDad77]

i still dont get y they have there guitarz a half a step down?????????? (when they play live)

[XVIbenedek]

probably this way it better suits the singer

[abnormalXali11]

I was there

[lmdt17]

Awesome viseo-Ed is so fun to watch!!

[mrccougar]

Amazing Video, can't wait till new cd is released in August

[COFboy123]

PRS Guitars RULE..........

[buckleygirl1]

i love this song...first heard it on the Special K commercial...great exposure

[jbsouthpaw2009]

This song used to be a song called Suffragette City by David Bowie.

[JohnCrampton98]

nonsense

[mike5058]

what?

[Annonymus121]

are u on crack that song is completely different

[nettyboopoop]

Its a special k commercial!

[amanda8707]

what commercial is this song via only the music is this for? it for a car commercial!

[Shnorkle07]

Im not sure but i do remember a commercial playin this song, which is awesome by the way

[morzilla84]

SUCH AS Awesome Rock Band...!!! The Best...!!!

[weaponologist1121]

the guitar sounds amazing !!!!

[Sexyboy5921]

Love this song seen them in concert this was ny fav song at the time so when they played it at the end of the concert i was sooo happy

[CornellWolf]

Ha! Ed really knows how to use his microphone!

[MARLONBART]

Great music but lead singer needs to stop jumping around like an idioto. Just sing the songs in a more mature fashion and you'll be a great live show.

[mgoblue0970]

It's rock and roll... nothing wrong with a little jumping around! Judging by your post, were you shocked when Elvis or The Beatles wiggled their hips on TV?

[MARLONBART]

I wasn't alive yet when Elvis debuted and I never saw the Beatles perform. I know there's nothing wrong with it, its just that lead singer doesn't look good doing it (some can dance, others can't). He looks best performing with guitar in hand.

[roflcoptergoeslulz]

that's just you then, cuz Ed has been doing that since the band formed, and fans since that day have always enjoyed him on stage.

[ValreeShoe]

You can't be serious... Dude's in the Zone! Sheesh

[deadmagazine]

Perfect adrenaline dose.

[jose8970]

son increibles

[mgoblue0970]

Those kids in the background are all stars... freaking amazing, the collaboration between the AYSO and Collective Soul!!!

[xxxGuitarHero16xxx]

My fav song

[eeeuuurrr123]

they just brought this song to a whole new level of awesomeness

[ccsitaround]

what more can one add? this band and song is so great! thanks!

[1994zr440]

yah this song makes me happy

[brenhig63]

If you find yourself feeling down, watch this.......

[grooveattitude]

The whole Home DVD is a wonderful version of most all their songs.

[val91201]

That DVD is superb and also look for the 'Music in high places' series with Collective Soul in Morroco.

[PlumeN]

J'ai cru entendre que cette chanson de CS était la chanson thème du Parti Conservateur lors de la dernière élection du Canada, et ça me déprime un peu...

[val91201]

Well, mon vieux, personne n'a demande le Parti Conservateur de choisir sette chanson!

[AnteyeBully]

I saw them maybe 2 months ago with Live and Blues Traveler. Amazing show. Everyone in the crowd knew the words and did the same thing.

[quilboy93]

@AnteyeBully I saw the same 3 bands it was at the pier in philly great show they killed it when they played this song it was amazing

[sharondoyle37]

does anyone have the song skin?

[willtheoct]

the orchestra really changed this song from an awesome tune to a masterpiece.

[Tydus777]

damn right! this is an excellent song to wake up to..

[crewsoccer12]

this is one of our pep songs in band- didnt really know the song- its pretty cool.

[Neville6000]

Any chance that you could record your school band's version and post it on YouTube?

[fairytailfancy]

I've watched this concert serveral times, in addition to buying the DVD and CD. This is a concert I will never get tired of. Love the mix with the orchestra. I can't wait until I get the chance to see them play live.

[blackterechip]

wow that show's awesome!!

[vadge99]

I saw them last night @ Crossroads in Kansas City and by far they were much better than Live..... and this tune was the best they played.... awesome show...

[roxithebunny87]

anything accompanied by orchestra is bound to be awesome.

[walkingthehighwire]

Way to go. Being there must have been fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!1

[diextrahard225]

i was in the atlanta symphony youth orchestra that played with collective soul at symphony hall and chastain... they're awesome!

[crazyjay2101]

great song one of my fav songs

[twitterpate2]

No this video is for anyone who is having a bad day and needs to be uplifted!!

[crackerjcks]

this band is the most entertaining band. Ed Roland has some hot moves and this band isnt for stupid 12 year old girls who like to drool over the singer. PLEASE STAY AROUND FOREVER AND KEEP UP THE GOOD MUSIC

[nestor123567]

i agree

[jimy51]

i love the way they get the crowd into it at the end and if you've seent the dvd its awesome how they call them back for an encore

[pogeys123]

These guys should be way bigger than they are now..im 4o, almost 41 and saw them last month front row center...amazing band..

[coco311311]

[philwalker]

maan lead guitarist has such a wicked power stance, i love it.

[FunnyVideos1991]

i would love it if this song (or any other collective soul song) came out for rock band.

cause i just learned how to play guitar and this could take a really long time to learn, so in the mean time, i could play some rock band.......

[xrxman01]

Looking for the dvd of this show. Great performance

[LITNGTIM]

I'VE GOT THIS CD ON MY DVR FROM VH-1 THIS IS THE GREATEST GROUP OF GUY WISH THAT BIG OPENING COMES FOR THEM SO THAT THEY WILL BECOME A HOUSRHOLD NAME THEIR MUSIC IS THE BEST AND i' 60 YEARS OLD.

[gwinrandolph2]

Hey Sweetie, I'm 52 and I love this song...They had a free consert on Pay per view and I know i watched it over 12 times!!!!

[kissvanhalenacdcrule]

Ed Roland kinda reminds me of Sammy Hagar

[sensicalmusical]

Great song. This concert must have been an amazing experience.

[chrisdaughtry4life]

My FAVORITE Collective Soul song!! Love it!!

[KamiSays]

This is my fave concert vid! These guys are hot musicians and hotter guys. Just saw them in concert this fall and TOTALLY worth the money ;D

[jnxbaseball3]

this song is so cool

[henlypoop]

ive noticed alot of there songs are about god and just making the most of your life and to stop stressing cause your not gonna live forever CS sends out a pretty important message i think its probobly cause ed rolands dad was a pastor. anyway they are really good even better in concert alot of bands in concert dont sound better than there CD lol

[pontt454]

See a Collective Soul concert if you ever get the chance. They are AMAZING in concert. Ed Roland the lead singer is a fabulous showman. He may be 5'7" but he's a BIG BIG man with a BIG BIG presence.

[yohabloespanolenwisc]

I could be wrong, but that one guy with blond hair reminds me of that one drummer or singer from Alice in Chains; but don't quote me on that; I love this song I heard it on a special K (cereal) commercial; good song!

[ebannaw]

I've loved Collective Soul since I was six years old. I just recently got this DvD, and it's one of the best musical experiences i've ever seen. God, just so awesome.

[furnie6269]

What is the DVD called. I would love to buy it.

[ebannaw]

It's called Home...

[88888888c]

Ive got this concert on Dvd and with the orchestra behind them they just blow me away

[henlypoop]

so do i there pretty amazing in concert and i wonder how the kids reacted when they heard they were playing orchestra for a famous rock band in one of there biggest concerts ever. lol

[PJG41170]

Ouch... he makes me want to touch him but... Ed Roland Is God.

[jorgeacetil]

great simply great

[alamkarb]

CS is a great band with a positive message!!

Great guitar work at the end!

[natedeewl1x]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

[Durendail]

awesome!!!!!!!

[DaxOrien]

I've loved collective soul since I was ten, and they never fail to make me happy just hearing a song from them. They're music genius sets them aside from all the run of the mill bands. These guys are unique and therefore extremely cool!

[asiansual]

The first time I heard this song, David Bowie came to mind. The singer sounds like him. I liked it already the first time I heard it. This song really rocks!

[TunedInAndOut]

So true.

[EuterpeMuse1]

Ed Roland's blog about Afterwords-It feels good to be loved. Thanks to everyone for supporting this band...when you're purchasing our new recording...not only are you giving love to Collective Soul but you are helping to change the music industry. It's so liberating to be an INDEPENDENT band and be Top 5 on iTunes. We would have been 25 on Billboard's Top 200 if they would have let us report but because we think outside the box, make our own rules...we're on the Comprehensive Chart instead.

[EuterpeMuse1]

Deans's blog about new CS album "...looking forward to the upcoming shows in September and October where we'll be playing much of the new music. Look forward to seeing you guys out on the road and remember August 28th Afterwords exclusively at Target stores...oh and digitally of course at iTunes. Peace and Love Dean"

[EuterpeMuse1]

Joel's blog "...I think you'll find it's a little different sound for us...there was never any shortage of ideas or different perspectives on what a song might need. Now that I think of it, there was never a shortage of brute-force sarcasm either! I have to say that I'm very proud of this record and I hope you guys enjoy the music on a really loud stereo. Oh yeah, and yours truly has a song on there. Yes, that's right and I'm singing it as well so go easy on me! -Joel" Target & iTunes Tuesday!

[501vancouver]

Yeah, YEAH! You're the best nolimits67. This DVD is the best concert I've seen, hands down :)
