@Cartoonkid111 I hope you know this video was posted in 2007 when 360p wasn't a standard on YouTube, retard. Plus, this was ripped off of something that was broadcasted in the 90s, stop being so retarded.
SDRE is one of the best and most influential emo bands of the 90s, and Diary is one of the greatest records, ever, and as for MCR, people just hate on them because they became hot topic posterboys for a while. That aside, MCR's first two records were fucking good, regardless.
@Coheed777Anberlin Sure, however Gerard did said in the beginning that they were "what-else-ya-got-emo" and being on clear channel doesn't help when you have a bunch of brain dead teenagers looking for a quick fix of the motions. I do like the fact that Gerard said to the effect that MCR wasn't and that "emo" is nothing as it was during the 90's with SDRE and The Promise Ring ect...
I was in college in Seattle when Sunny Day was first coming out. Went and watched them for $7 at U-Dub and it was an awesome show. I've been a fan for nearly 20 years. Even though the tone and feel of the first album was somewhat dreary the live show was highly energetic and awesome to see. MCR has nothing on SDRE.
@azwheelin I actually like some of the newer stuff kids call 'emo' but this definitely wins over any of that. I've been a fan of SDRE since Diary came out and still listen to it almost every day. They are such an amazing band and JE's voice truly makes you feel emotional, which I think was the original point of emo, not 'Hey, I'm uber goth, look at my awesome hair. I dress in all black."
mcr isn't shit,guys,why exactly this band always getting abused? seriously, SDRE is one of my favourites,but my chemical romance aren't so bad (and i'm not 15-year old dumbfuck without taste in music,believe me) :)
@TheSPrules nah mcr sucks because their music has no artistic value, plain and simple.
SDRE on the other hand has made highly influential pieces of work. they have had so much influence on emo music. bands like brand new, pageninetynine, gospel, wouldn't be around without SDRE.
@ri394 MCR are actually kinda fun, and pretty decent live, but so much music these days is so corporate and over-produced that it's just hard to really be passionate about it. That's why bands like SDRE will live longer in people's memory and music collection than bands like MCR.
I’ve been a sunny day ran for almost over a decade now and I have to say that this is the best live version of this song captured on video that I have ever seen funny enough it was brought to us by one of my favorite tv personalities John Stewart lol I love youtube!
@ dalessiokiller, I physically have the album. superb album throughout the album with poetic lyrics and great vocals, guitar, drumming. Yet, it would of been if they made it a little happier especially with the beautiful "Song about an Angel". Nevertheless, an awesome album. Released the year I was born :)
@lukerr87 Holy fuck you're young. This shit was out when I was like in fourth grade? I didn't know wtf what kind of music this was then but I fucking loved it and still do.
@lukerr87 In the studio version there's actually some hope at the end with whole "soul reborn" part. However yes for the most part diary was dreary yet wonderfully poetic.
I remember actually watching this on Jon Stewart's show back in like '94 or whatever and absolutely being blown away by SDRE. thanks so much for putting this video up, still sounds wonderful
"emo", as a "genre" is bullshit. there never was anything called "emo" or anything like "real emo". this is just rock (with its post-hardcore influences ofc). end of story. i don't even know why are my chemical clowns being mentioned here.
@tourettes84 Actually... Emotive Hardcore is what your thinking of, thats the genre that started off the modern day emo scene... I would call these guys Poet-Emotive or something in that such, they're not as heavy as other emotive hardcore bands, but I can say one thing about Sunny Day Real Estate... AMAZING FUCKING BAND!
@gabrielthemarine It's a real genre that started a variant of Hardcore Punk. A lot of Post-Hardcore bands adopted elements of the style as well and bands like SDRE took it and combined it with elements of Alternative Rock.
The Album Diary is really one of the Standouts of 1994 Its so ahead of its time . If you like SDRE than you all should Check out Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, and Dag Nasty. I know the bands i mentioned are not as Melodic as SDRE but if you look at it its what i call Proper Emo.
You'll find bands like Hundred Hands, Dead Red Sea, Appleseed Cast, Slow Ride, Desert City Sound Track, Jimmy Eat World (Old Catalog), and tons and tons of great mostly unknown bands form the Mid-West...
i am 15 and just recently discovered sdre through a friend of mine, i can't believe music used to be as good as this, it's almost depressing because there is a high chance that music will never be this good again, it's all too pop-oriented, amazing band nonetheless
@Waterworks410 Good music isn't gone! You just have to look a little bit harder for the good stuff. Get involved in your local scene, see who's good and give them attention! If you need a head start, look at bands like My Heart to Joy or Algernon Cadwallader, they're doing very neat things.
agreed with alexisonfire439. I would have never heard of sunny day real estate if it wasn't for looking for new things. i bought diary the week it came out based on the strength of their two self released 7"'s and from what other bands would say about them in fanzines. you just have to look and you can find tons of great new music. its out there. i would suggest shopping at a mom and pop record shop and not a big chain store. the mom and pop shops are always into getting people into new music.
We had to dig a little deeper for this stuff then... you'll just need to dig a little deeper now. There's good stuff out there now. Check out anything on Touch & Go, Sub Pop, Tee Pee Records, Saddle Creek Jag Jaguar... all good stuff.
alexisonfire439 Makes good points too... look locally.
Dude thanks for uploading this I can remember when I was kid seeing this and thinking I never heard such a sound before and loving every second of it and now that I'm older and can actually understand the music it just makes it much better :) thanks again!
Saw them twice in '94 in NYC at Irving Plaza and the place was more than half empty. Going to see them in Philly on Thursday but they'll never be as good.,
I believe it. I just have nostalgia for those days of post hard core. Now it's called emo or indie-rock which i don't understand. Maybe i'm just getting old.
I hear you man. Saw them in 94' at First Ave in Minneapolis with Shudder To Think. Just saw them again at First Ave last week. 15 years, still miss this music.
I literally just got home from seeing them at the Troc in Philly and it wasn't too bad. They definately tried keeping it '94 by playing all of their old stuff, but i am slightly disappointed that they didn't play anything from The Rising Tide album. Not one song. I think that album is their best body of work. Maybe it has to do with their original bass player returning?
I like the rising tide, but I am nostalgic and grew up listening to diary and LP2. I consider those records their most raw and most energized material. Plus, if you think about it, they broke up before they really toured the shit out of any the songs on those records, so it's almost like they are playing them live for the first time, you know?
Yeah, you are absolutely right. It was Diary that left the strongest impression on me. But The Rising Tide proved them to be a very musical and melodic band. That record showed their musical progression and i just wanted to hear a song or two from it. I love them regardless
I am betting it will be. It is all the original members, including Nate this go around. Dan loves this song...we shall see if it makes the set llist...I am betting it will...
everything that's decent ends up becoming bastardized for the masses and turns into shit. so yes, given the context of Jeremy's statement, there was nothing wrong with that.
This is the first time I had ever seen William play and it blew my mind. Such a great band. Jeremy's voice sounds great. I love the low tuning on the guitars.
I love how people use My Chemical Romance as a reference when talking about emo. My Chemical Romance isn't emo. My Chemical romance is just fucking terrible. They don't even deserve to be in the same sentence as SDRE. This is the real emo, kids.
MCR did claim to be emo, when they first came out, Gerard Way called his music "what else ya got emo". Later, when there was an emo backlash, and emo got into the mainstream, he called emo a "pile of shit". So MCR did claim to be emo
@fleisch09 Yah, bands will never call themselves "emo" anymore. The genre has become so bastardized, it's musical suicide to proclaim to be in such a category.
@paniccat Don't blame BluesNatural. If you're the lead singer of a band and are interviewed, you have to be careful what you say. Maybe he was joking, maybe he was drunk, Was he being sarcastic? It doesn't matter. Most people don't know categories like indy, ska, metal etc. Many people throw everything that isn't too hard into the 'alternative' category and call it a day.
If the lead singer says "Emo" then of COURSE people are gonna remember it. When I heard him i laughed. I know MCR aint emo
Ok, so to my understanding, the term emo stemmed from emotional hardcore, right? The true "emo", with out the hardcore, started with SDRE, and later Jimmy Eat World. Someone clarify, please.
Who gives a fuck? SDRE played music from the heart. A lot of good bands do. This term "emo" is as meaningless as jelly bracelets, associated with a fashion movement and ignorance.
Emo's roots was this. Good rocking sound, but with more emotions on the lyrics. When did emo become 'whiny Myspace teenagers singing', I don't know either.
Mineral, Rites of Spring, Get up kids.... Stuff like that would be considered emo's roots I think. But SDRE is such a huge influence in emo that aspiring bands who like the earlier acts also got into SDRE and followed their sound.
'I dream to heal your wounds, but I bleed myself, oh I bleed myself' - In Circles
^Now that's some emotional lyrics right there without sounding like a whiny bitch. =)
Are you sure because SDRE formed in 1992, Get Up Kids formed in 1995 and Mineral formed in 1994. At least I'm pretty sure. I don't know I'm a very small Get Up Kids fan but I'm not really into Mineral at all, but I'm a huge SDRE fan.
yeah, some journos say that, and point in the direction of husker du and the sst bands. and while it can be fun to argue about band classification, a) no band likes to pigeon holed, and b) i still don't know for sure what musical elements apart from lyrics make a band emo.
i asked jeremy enigk what the real meaning of seven was, he said that it was a test of poetry and it's one of those songs that means something to someone else
wow. Chris Simpson is an absolute tool. He was once quoted in 1996 as saying "mineal is just picking up where sdre left off". everything about mineral was directly "stolen" from sdre. sdre is much more intense, much more unique, absolutely groundbreaking.
yeah I've never heard that. and he probably hadn't even heard much of SDRE when they recorded The Power of Failing. I don't get yer or any other's rant about how Mineral stole everything from SDRE, seeing as how they sound completely different - and way better than SDRE.
Im a big fan of jeremy enigk and chris simpsons projects, but i too think mineral was better. you should check out chris' new band zookeeper, ive seen them twice and theyre great. hopefully i get to see jeremy one day.
personal taste i guess...i value the band that did the most with there sound and that is sdre as mineral did just folow there sound sunny day lead the scene
If you live in Texas Jeremy will play a couple of shows in the next weeks! Check out his myspace page for the gigs.. If you don't live in Texas, sorry!
i actually live about four hours away from san antonio where he will be playing. but since graduation form college, its hard for me to get away to go to a show. Im considering going being that my brother lives in san antonio. Thanks for the heads up.
well, granted, there ARE similarities, that's undeniable-vox and all that, but with the work that Mineral did in Endserenading, particularly the picking intricate guitar work, and comparing it to SDRE's 'how it feels like..' you'd have to say that mineral did that first wouldn't you? there are bits on that album that remind me of mineral.I like both bands by the way, and the approach is similar, i think there's still difference between the bands. I'd have to agree with mcatling.
Though I would very much like to meet Christopher Simpson. Then after that, detour to Tooth and Nail records and see what Mr. Enigk is up to. (Someone clarify me: is Enigk signed to Tooth And Nail records or did he just help the band Poor Old Lu with their vox?)
Jeremy Enigk did a duo type thing for "Digging Deep" by Poor Old Lu. Poor Old Lu didn't join up with Tooth & Nail until their very last record, and Jeremy Enigk wasn't ever with Tooth & Nail.
Jeremy Enigk currently owns his own label called Lewis Hollow records, but he's currently the only signed artist there! :P You can find interviews about that here on YT.
The singer would be good as a skeleton at Halloween. He's got that bony face and body structure.

@BluesNatural I'm so sick of fucking comments like this, they are two different, very mislabeled, genres of music.
paniccat 1 year ago
@paniccat Don't blame BluesNatural. If you're the lead singer of a band and are interviewed, you have to be careful what you say. Maybe he was joking, maybe he was drunk, Was he being sarcastic? It doesn't matter. Most people don't know categories like indy, ska, metal etc. Many people throw everything that isn't too hard into the 'alternative' category and call it a day.
If the lead singer says "Emo" then of COURSE people are gonna remember it. When I heard him i laughed. I know MCR aint emo

Ok, so to my understanding, the term emo stemmed from emotional hardcore, right? The true "emo", with out the hardcore, started with SDRE, and later Jimmy Eat World. Someone clarify, please.
spooner0099 3 years ago
Who gives a fuck? SDRE played music from the heart. A lot of good bands do. This term "emo" is as meaningless as jelly bracelets, associated with a fashion movement and ignorance.

what would have made this emo ?
mikebott 3 years ago
Emo's roots was this. Good rocking sound, but with more emotions on the lyrics. When did emo become 'whiny Myspace teenagers singing', I don't know either.
outPut33 3 years ago 3
not to nitpick, but some of sdr's lyrics were awfully abstracted, to the point of seeming like a private language sometimes.
i geuss to me emo's roots would be rites of spring or something earlier, but differing takes are welcome.
mikebott 3 years ago
Good musical taste my friend.
Mineral, Rites of Spring, Get up kids.... Stuff like that would be considered emo's roots I think. But SDRE is such a huge influence in emo that aspiring bands who like the earlier acts also got into SDRE and followed their sound.

^Now that's some emotional lyrics right there without sounding like a whiny bitch. =)

SDRE came before Get Up Kids and Mineral didn't they?
whostolemybikebitch 3 years ago
No they didn't.
outPut33 3 years ago
Are you sure because SDRE formed in 1992, Get Up Kids formed in 1995 and Mineral formed in 1994. At least I'm pretty sure. I don't know I'm a very small Get Up Kids fan but I'm not really into Mineral at all, but I'm a huge SDRE fan.
moneyman113 3 years ago
from a lot of rock historians and journalists, rites of spring was considered the first, "emocore" band, a term that the band DID NOT embrace.
and the lyrics of SDRE were supposed to be poetic, seven is said to be about neurosis and revival
BMGStammer 3 years ago
yeah, some journos say that, and point in the direction of husker du and the sst bands. and while it can be fun to argue about band classification, a) no band likes to pigeon holed, and b) i still don't know for sure what musical elements apart from lyrics make a band emo.
mikebott 3 years ago
i asked jeremy enigk what the real meaning of seven was, he said that it was a test of poetry and it's one of those songs that means something to someone else
BMGStammer 3 years ago
So you're saying it was him putting his poetry into a song and it means something different to everyone?

I honestly prefer Mineral's twinkling over SDRE's riffing. oh and Chris Simpson's lyrics and vocal style is essentially genius.
indietrash 3 years ago
wow. Chris Simpson is an absolute tool. He was once quoted in 1996 as saying "mineal is just picking up where sdre left off". everything about mineral was directly "stolen" from sdre. sdre is much more intense, much more unique, absolutely groundbreaking.

yeah I've never heard that. and he probably hadn't even heard much of SDRE when they recorded The Power of Failing. I don't get yer or any other's rant about how Mineral stole everything from SDRE, seeing as how they sound completely different - and way better than SDRE.

Im a big fan of jeremy enigk and chris simpsons projects, but i too think mineral was better. you should check out chris' new band zookeeper, ive seen them twice and theyre great. hopefully i get to see jeremy one day.

xoChemicalRomancexo 3 years ago
well, granted, there ARE similarities, that's undeniable-vox and all that, but with the work that Mineral did in Endserenading, particularly the picking intricate guitar work, and comparing it to SDRE's 'how it feels like..' you'd have to say that mineral did that first wouldn't you? there are bits on that album that remind me of mineral.I like both bands by the way, and the approach is similar, i think there's still difference between the bands. I'd have to agree with mcatling.
KCityHoplite 3 years ago
Hmmm...
Mineral > SDRE
The Fire Theft/ Jeremy Enigk > Zookeeper.
Though I would very much like to meet Christopher Simpson. Then after that, detour to Tooth and Nail records and see what Mr. Enigk is up to. (Someone clarify me: is Enigk signed to Tooth And Nail records or did he just help the band Poor Old Lu with their vox?)
kryptomanik 3 years ago
Jeremy Enigk did a duo type thing for "Digging Deep" by Poor Old Lu. Poor Old Lu didn't join up with Tooth & Nail until their very last record, and Jeremy Enigk wasn't ever with Tooth & Nail.
Jeremy Enigk currently owns his own label called Lewis Hollow records, but he's currently the only signed artist there! :P You can find interviews about that here on YT.
