Come to show your support and love for Travis at our new FB Tribute page for the latest updates on Purple and tour dates on Facebook at Travis Meeks - The Multi-Talented Maestro Meeks
@randommagnum actually the last show with the original lineup was after the Metallica tour was allready over with. After Ogden the Metallica tour went on to play Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Las Vegas, & San Diego on Sept 23, 2008. Then the guys in DotN went on to do a few more one-off type shows the final 2 shows I'm aware of with original band are Louisville, KY Oct 24, 2008 & Dallas, TX Nov 5, 2008 - the next night was sched for New Orleans but was cancelled.
@rotaryrebel ummm..the original lineup hasn't played together since 1999. I'm gonna assume that you messed up on the dates. Unless theres clearly something that I missed.
@outlaw457 Well, because Days of the New wasn't around to overtake them back in 1983. Here's the question we need to ask: how the fuck did bands like this not get more mainstream, but Lady Gaga is a household name? Answer: humanity is devolving.
i hope everyone realizes todays music is the reason the US is goin to shit. all rap and pop does is promote arrogance and only thinkin of yourself. stuff in the 90s was about being unique and doing what you love
Okay I have heard tantric, but are there ANY bands out there now, or in the past, that sounded anything close to this? Style and vocals. I love how he just pushes it sometimes and rips such a hard vocal lick
If you don't mind me asking a stupid question maybe, are Travis and Todd getting this group back together?? I've heard so many different things, would love to know for sure, cause they need too!!
@itsallgood239 - The intro is called "Orch of the Medium" and was recorded Live solo acoustic Sept 24, 2003 in Flint, MI and is available on the official "Travis Meeks Live Bootleg" CD.
i'm from Charlestown IN.I remember seeing them around the projects when i was a teen.Lots of people here know them , literally.A lot of people here dont like travis.A lot of people here are also jealous dickheads too.They did some pretty mean shit to him when he played here.You can watch it on youtube.Just a buncha retarded drunks bein pricks.They shoulda been thrown out.
what makes this so special compared to everything else was that back in the 90's days of the new was basically the one of a kind... pure genius, pure acoustics. I love this shit!
There is this stuff that will take away the pain, numbing up all the feelings, the very ones that made you who you are. It will allow you to open up and let everyone in, all with relative ease. But watch out, cause its a feeling you will quickly become attached to and you'll wake up one day five years later wondering what the fuck happened.
Travis has actually played privately several times with Jerry Cantrell and Mike Starr of AIC - Mike contacted me a few years back interested in playing bass for DOTN!
Yea I remember seeing DOTN opening for Jerry on tour...and Starr IMO is better than Inez...wish him luck that is for sure..he was playing a gig with Facelift the AIC tribute band a few weeks ago..sad to see him doing tributes instead of being in the band..
@JamesScales --- My name is Travis Miller - I too grew up in Charlestown, IN with Travis and the rest of the guys - fact is anybody in C-town that "hates" him either A. don't really know him or B. are just flat jealous
travis should recognize as a great artist and also be proud to have someone as talented as him. I live far away from Indiana and would give up what I have no reason to watch him play and talk with him. travis is god.
Travis Meeks was not only gorgeous, but his voice matched as well. It's too bad that drugs tore apart this man that could of had it all. Bands like this, Alice in Chains, Silverchair, etc all gave great music, and the new bands now like Nickelback & Linkin Park just suck! Bring back the 90s alternative!
You have no idea how often I preach "Bring back 90's rock." This country would be a better place. The local rock radio station here does a segmant called "It smells like the 90's" I listen to that segmant religiously
yea im only 21 and I remember everything about this era in music..oh god how shitty it is now...someone needs to bring it back..but the bands from the 90s are all trying to come back..and that fuckin sucks cause alot of the singers are dead (such as layne staley and shannon hoon)...they need to let the 90s music be with the singers...it was a great time but music without the main people in it..isnt the same..
Grunge and 90's rock WAS incredible, my fav by far.
All great artists did die, my two favourite, Kurt & Layne.
Alice were amazing with Layne, now they lack the vocal power, though the riffs still have a hint of amazingness.
By the way, I'm 17, but I try to immerse myself to only grunge, its extremely appealing and musical perfection to my ears. I wish, and I know it seems unlikely, but I really wish for a similar grunge/hippy movement to occur in my time as a youth:)
You should never immerse yourself in only one style of music, especially with a genre as broad as "Rock." There are other forms of music that are also good.
@ocballer17 I totally hear you, I'm exactly the same way.
The radio station here does a segment called "Seattle at Seven" on the weekdays. If I'm not by a radio when it comes on, I come running and listen intently.
These guys are a prime example of how the industry and self loathing causes great talent to tweek and peak real early and burn out in the atmosphere before their time is really over. It is a shame that great talent is overshadowed by drug abuse.
