Days of the New 1/17/08 Charlotte - Die Born

[NickandMikelive]

I had the pleasure of seeing him live twice. Once in 2010 and another time in 1998. You won't find another guy as talented on the acoustic as Travis Meeks.

[TheRustycutlass]

Such an awesome tune!

[RewMouse]

I feel every word..this performance gives me chills.

[kyvalleygirl]

Perfection to my ears!!!

[BRUTALDISGORE]

Now the real musicians are not recognized, is the test

[memphisking009]

[dgrayson99]

[dgrayson99]

So good....so much talent...a shame you don't hear this music on the radio.

[lookb4Ucross]

so amazing...no words

[dealingdreams]

He's so talented. I love all of the Days' records. Is he doing better these days? I know he was on intervention (I never was able to see it unfortunately) but left postings on his myspace a few years ago, wishing him well. Thanks for uploading this.

[lookb4Ucross]

wow....one of my favorite songs....first time i have seen it live...shame they broke up....they were amazing

[27419917]

bigger than anybody.........he's name is travis meeks. 

I WILL NOT DIE BORN!!!!

[AndJusticeForMe]

He looks like the Crypt Keeper.

[kyle8769]

@AndJusticeForMe lmfao..i was thinking the same thing..man he's really went downhill in the looks department..he looked 25 when he was like 17 now he looks 50 lol

[DarkloudInc]

EVEN IN SWEATS!

[amill146]

i totally respect this man. talented mf.

[RosemontRecording]

One of the most moving vocal performances I've seen in a while...

- jeff

[1472ASG]

I recently had the pleasure of coming across this gem of a song and have been listening to it like 5 times a day. What a great tune. Eventhough it is nearly a decade old, could easily be released today and would be a hit (especially considering the garbage that has been on the scene since rock peaked in 90's).

I miss Lane Staley from AIC and his voice is a not too far off.

Here's to you Travis and I'm hopeful you'll keep recording and playing out. Would love to see you!

[StefanDekanski]

this is the shit! I WILL NOT DIE BORN

[JereyRocksJerey]

i just went through listening to standard recording of his songs and then these some of these live performences, god dang i must say i love the live performences alot better He screams more ! haha rock on is there anyway to get the sound tracks of his live performences?

[NEOPEAKOIL]

I dont have to change at all!!!

ZEITGEIST MOVIE

liars and thieves! those who are big should be small!

[ashalin78]

wooow awesome!!

[jablams1]

What great quality for a live performance. Great video! It looks like the cameraman is just wandering around the stage, haha.

[grungeralbo]

what a song...¡¡  greetings from Chile..

[Christopherscnln]

Days of the New is the absolute best ever

[MELISSA84008]

Shhhh....listen......

[82fury75]

if you dont like this performance..... you are a loser

[drail84able]

what a story to tell this man has godd future to you my brother

[smub1]

singer hella talented

[snicklefritz1989]

reminds me of jim morrison r.i.p. jim

[bigboss25262]

This guy puts Jim Morrison to shame, don't get me wrong. I love Jim, i've had a poster of him in my room since i was 10. But vocally, Travis is superior. His voice is more powerful and has range than Jim never had. Jim was a fucking poet and wrote some amazing music and poetry, but vocally, Travis takes him.

[Katydaze]

katydaze loves james 4ever!!!!!

[Katydaze]

i love him!!!!!

[cappspw]

When a man with a guitar and a voice can make your hair stand up you know he is a bad ass. Can listen to this all day.

[biscuitsmum]

@cappspw no shit eh!!! God Bless Travis Meeks

[headofwords]

Damn where's that new album?  Been waiting a long ass time ...

[snicklefritz1989]

its hard for me to make a little change..I don't have to change!! Genius...

[hootylicious1]

hey travis....COME TO AUSTIN...let's jam!

[craigstlfan]

hey cxvh...get your head outta your ass and realize a genius...

[cxvh]

just another burn out dope addict.

[hungjudas77]

talent in the purest form. i hope he's doing great..

[markenhagen]

i love the fact most of the people commenting on these performances are truly enjoying this guys raw talent. You people in here really understand a quality songwriter like travis.

[hootylicious1]

man, Travis is BADDDASSSS! I love the truth in his lyrics--he goes deep-his voice is KILLER! Nice to see a true fan, instead of a hater!

[pearldan]

COME TO MONTREAL! TRAVIS RULES !

[waltbauer]

His most beautiful song of all.. Tragic and heart felt.

[mblovesdotn]

@waltbauer wait until you hear purple...his deepest darkest personal stuff yet :) it's amazing and I can't wait until it's released for everyone to hear.

[hootylicious1]

Man, this dude jams! Regardless of what has haunted him...we've all got demons in our closet!!! He is unequivocally talented and I'd love to hear him live!!!!

[5150looney]

the band left him and started TANTRIC cus travis was being an ass... they get together and do like a show a year in so.corolina but thats about it these days..

He's a genius alt tunning hero...

[x63]

Alllllll kinds of wrong.

First... They left because he was getting the money, and not them. Because they had no part in writing the songs.

Secondly... He replaced every single one of them and Days tours all the time.

Now onto the Tantric part... They formed it and then all left Tantric as well..

[zippywaite]

it's normal for music to change as years go on. ecspecially when he became famous so young. he matured musically.

we all have seen what happend to silverchair haha. they are a compltely differnt band now because it pretty much comes with age.

but travis still plays kickass music even though its differnt and he's older. great band.

[snicklefritz1989]

thanks for the video

[OvrXtended]

This guy is pure Genius in the deepest sense of the word..Welcome back T.

[sawdoff1100]

this guy rocks every show like his last i saw him at one show he was fucked up bad and he completely rocked out people went from yelling to shuting up and listening it was amazing

[Fuhgawz102]

those vocals are spot on.

[elpiero]

Travis Meeks = DAYS OF THE NEW

[stringtheory77]

He made it when he was 16 ...... travis will be a legend in music regardless of the choices he made.....i cant imagine the fame and coin @ 16 and how i would handle it , i think i'd mess myself up , any of us would probably in that scenario..... hey travis , come to CANADA , anywhere would be fine!!!!!!!!!!

[RunTMCfan]

Exactly...

At 16 you hit #1 for 17 weeks. That's Michael Jackson shit man. Then you land a tour with Metallica at their peak.

He had 90 sold out shows when he came back from his Metallica tour.

His music is still fantastic and we are lucky to have him still playing.

[solo33]

by far my favorite song by this talented motherfuck..love this guy..cleaned up good

[looseground]

great singer, love his voice. DOTN rocking again please, we need that. Would like to invite everyone into this kind of music to check my band Loose Ground. We've just recorded our first EP now, but our influences are the 90's, 70's and 60's. That's where the real music is to us. Thanks&Peace.

[gothboy667]

" One of the hidden treasures of the 90's" -Ben (guita instructor)

[hashindabong]

I Want The 90's Back!

[bootylover827]

Who doesn't man. But hey, let's be optimistic, maybe music will make a glorious comeback in the 10's. LOL 2010-2020 i mean.

[mattgardner20]

This song is awesome

[snicoldude]

Is travis still a crackhead?

[bscott90]

I saw him last night! He sounded awesome! However, he only played for about an hour...after years of waiting for him...I wanted a little more time :(

[cptbritain]

he just blew off a show in NJ... "didn't get on his flight", band was there he wasn't.... worst part is that we're not pissed, just really sad.

[grungeralbo]

great band..i hope they come to chile...

dream is free

[lilhell52]

hes so awesome!

[bahrichirah]

incredibly fucking sick, the mans got pipes

[bigboss25262]

He sounds so fucking amazing. His voice is as incredible as ever. ANd man, this song is a masterpiece.

[KobySGSRV]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Love this band

[imikewillrockyou]

This guy is such an awesome singer and artist. I sure hope drugs do not take his life like so many like him. I can tell they have taken a toll on him.

[repsolsarahsman]

Travis is a great guy. He had alot of addiction with meth and when he came to fayetteville i helped him out with work on his van, he had a little tick but otherwise seemed completely fine and OFF meth. New cd in09

[imikewillrockyou]

That's good to hear. The music he comes up with is really unique and amazing. A lot of feeling and I suppose you could say soul. Or at least it comes from the soul somewhere. Peace, Mike

[BoBaLu420]

I just missed that show! I went to Charlotte And Greenville that tour.

[inayaw]

I love him honestly. I really do... But for being a meth addict, he sure does have purdy teeth.

[ungoliath69]

Can anyone tell me what this song is about? I've always been curious.

[bigboss25262]

Probably about his battle with addiction.

[JH1]

motherfucker keep me warm....

i love this song.

[bigboss25262]

LOL.

[bigboss25262]

OMFG, AMAZing. Travis Meeks is a fucking force.

[JTNugget]

It's amends, dumbass.

[urudufusmisrael]

Travis do not need any other guitarrist

dont forget this Todd bla bla bla only have a name bacause of Travis Talent(s)

Travis is a complete band by himself

[Katydaze]

CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!!!

[inayaw]

Bah, bullshit! I had just started my job and couldn't make it to this show. :/

I suck.

[jvkirb]

Listening to and watching Travis Meeks perform amazes me? Is this guy even human?

[JenBleedsMusic]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[k1awdttt]

Travis will not go down!

[dawndebris1979]

Without a doubt, my favourite artist of all time. I feel so lucky I was born in the same era he was, and that I have the chance to enjoy and praise his music while he is still alive. However, to quote someone else here in YouTube "Put your shit together you hyper-talented motherfucker!"

[Martyred81]

I for one believe that Travis actually looks better off than he did in mid-2007. I hope he finally found a good seat on the wagon. Thank you for posting this to confirm he's still alive!

[jheath7120]

What a shame, this is a good example of what drugs will do to you. Not the same Travis by any means...

[knoxtaper]

Really? I tend to look at it more like we're lucky he didn't kill himself and that he's actually out touring and writing music!

[steppinrazor8]

@knoxtaper

well said ....!!

[MELISSA84008]

@knoxtaper Right on!!!!! :)

[NEOPEAKOIL]

@jheath7120 idiots, your food and water are poisoned with preservatives and plenty of other chemicals that were waste products of industry. the mind is always HIGH on internal stimulus. Strong opinions from un/under educated idiots is what this fn is!!!

[TilderyKoadil]

@jheath7120 what did drugs do to him? make him go bald? drugs dont do that

[MELISSA84008]

@TilderyKoadil Crystal meth. He was on the show "Intervention"

[TilderyKoadil]

@MELISSA84008 no lol.. i didn't ask what drugs did to him.. i was commenting on jheath's comment.. he said "look what drugs did to him".. but honestly.. him being bald and ugly isn't from drugs lol.. drugs don't do that.. genes do. i'm not saying drugs aren't bad.. im just saying that those aren't what they do to people.. they do a lot worse to people than make u go bald.. i just hate when people assume that every single problem is from drugs. they know nothing. lifes hard w.out drugs also..

[JereyRocksJerey]

@jheath7120 whatcha talkin about this is great music

[itsallgood239]

@jheath7120 Atleast he was doing meth instead of heroine like every other rock star. If was using the needle he wouldn't be here

[BoBaLu420]

was completely there!!!

[JH1]

Thanks for posting, great sound!

Travis is a genius.

[jorgenmz]

One of my DotN's favorite song, thanks a lot!
