let me add another comment. everywhere he plays there seem to be a bunch of disrespectful scumbags making some kind of noise. Wtf is wrong with these losers. shut you mouths. unreal.
i agree 100% this guy is unreal. he is extremely original. Love his music since the first hit. second album is unreal. cant wait to get the latest one. so many people missing out.
Everytime I watch him solo I get more and more impressed. I know he likes his six piece band and all...but for me, he's at his best sitting in a chair slinging his ax.
Meeks is amazing. Playing those guitar parts and singing over them is definitely a challenge. And, here he is, doing it flawlessly. One of the most underrated guitarist/songwriters out there.
God fucking damn listen to him belt those lyrics out! Most artists would never have the guts or the skills to scream that out live. He is the motherfucking man! A true inspiration to artists and people everywhere. On a side note he looks and sounds much better. When was this video taken? I hope recently because it looks like he has his "A" game back.
there are a lot of original bands in the Southern Indiana and Louisville Kentucky area and most are clueless to what being in touch with art consists of. Travis has it down and is the best artist from Indiana/Kentucky. Makes sense that someone so talented would be railroaded by addiction. Bitter irony. I hope he is onto a better path because he has a lot to offer the shit world and what better to have the ability to relate but through his music. Keep the music alive Travis
This is freakin awesome. I was at that concert. Best damn show I ever saw. He closed out with The End by the Doors. It was incredible. Can't wait to see him again.
Holy crap that was great...I've always wanted to see him sing that song live but in the 3 times I saw him between '98 and '01 I never got the chance...well done!
This is my favorite DOTN tune. The second CD is great. As for you idiots that pretend you know music and tunings you have no clue. Meeks can hold his own with anyone and he knows more than 3 chords
Try listening to a couple of songs before making smart ass comments. You'll find he's one of the most innovative musicians of the past 10 or 20 years. He experiments with alternate guitar tunings like nobody else and has a very unique sound which matches well with his voice. As for being an MTV'er, you once again make an ass out of yourself. I play the violin (bluegrass and celtic fiddle mostly) as well as the guitar. Get a clue douchebag.
Then watch what you say because you are speaking to a past National Fiddle Champion in Weiser Idaho. Innovative is an overused term today. 10 - 20 years innovative, c'mon. 2nd of all, i'm being a jerk on purpose to the person that posted this video. Kinda mocking him because he was such a jerk to another poster on another video I thought i'd check out his videos and give him shit.

i hung out with travis in his studio for a year, and jammed with him at the studio. He is the most talented songwriter singer ive met and ive been in the music scene for 20 years. You try tuning a guitar differint ways and making it sound that good .Its not easy, the man can tune to these tunings by ear.
I definately know about cross tuning a guitar. This kid does fine but to make a statement such as "he's the most innovative" is a little much considering all the great guitar players in the world. But other than that, he does fine. Like I said, I'm ripping the video only because the poster of this video is a prick. Its not my true feelings about this artist. If a person is making music, doing what he loves, and getting paid for it; you can't ask for anything more.
Well, I don't even want to count the number of times you made a fool of yourself here, the account is used by few different people, we listen and post different music. The comments on the video you're talking about weren't made by the poster of this video, sometimes it is important to think before you talk dude.
@xms32 yes you can. You can ask that they use their position to speak out about the injustice, the inequality, the lies, the murders, the theft, the rape of indigenous peoples worldwide in the name of a god and all that shit.
Yeah. we can ask ALOT more of people. Bands like DOTN did it without being asked...
listen to the first two days of the new music... he wrote most if not all of the actual music and is very talented... he's had his issues but he's a damn good artist
Just because you can play an instrument doesn't mean you are innovative. I hate people that say they are innovative just because they can play an instrument flawlessly. Travis Meeks is creative and innovative in both his composition and song-writing. I'll take him all day long over all the other douche bags that can play classical shred metal bullshit. And as far as playing a fiddle or guitar or a fucking banjo goes I really don't care as long as they can actually write a song....
kid? go fck yourself dork. I'm old enough to be your dad and since I've toured the entire country, I could be your dad. Tell your slut mom I said hello.
Aww, that's cute. An 11year old trapped in an old man's body? Aww. :( Oh, wait, that's like Benjamin Button. Wow.
Sorry to disappoint you, kid, but I'm not American, so unless you've been touring in America and your dick, elsewhere, you're gonna have to settle for shit. :(
Now, like a good kid, grow up and enjoy the music. "Just playing the instrument doesn't make you any good." Write it down 100 times, so you remember it, yeah?

You wanna talk innovative, Tony Rice is innovative. Some people need to cross tune a guitar because of their lack of knowledge with chords.
