Taproot - Poem

[rturozamora37a]

I want this video on my C332 unit.

[youngchampagne]

Your video is a favorite on Liechtenstein

[xDarkmessenger]

Haha I love when the guitarist messes up at 1:15 and smiles

[buttonmastah]

2:58 "oh no, i've never done this without screaming, umm, I'LL WHISPER!!! genius."

[ecat36]

This is pretty f-n good!



[demonelora]

This band is the best thing to ever come out of Michigan. Makes me miss the 90's :D

[Gamerforever1]

pussy version LOL

[DarthHapner]

Where can i find the tuning and tabs for how hes playin this acoustic in the video. Id love to get to learn it. Please and thank you very much =)

[JuggaloFaygoDrinker]

@DarthHapner

This is simple. You should be able to figure it out, :). It's really nothing but power chords.

[simmobri7]

outstanding



[Rocked84]

@simmobri7 Agreed

[asneirinhaportugal]

This is the real talent, his voice sounds so great and it's live! No voice changing by programs, this is talent...

Cheers, i'm not a really big fan of ska, so this why i prefer this version of "Poem"

[SOULECKZ]

just seen these guys two months ago still realy great stage performance...

[sullyernasnuma1fan]

I love this song. :D

[sbryant328]

Stephen Richards is very fucking cool!! I love the guy!!! By the way, I'm not gay but curiously sometimes prone to man-crushes ... LOL!!!

[DeVineFate]

@sbryant328 If you question your sexuality, and have man-crushes, then you're most likely gay ... LOL!!!

[sbryant328]

@DeVineFate LOL!!! We all may have a little gay in us but I am happily married with children and will never engage in gay activity. No offense taken at all man!

[DeVineFate]

@sbryant328 Wasn't trying to offend you, just making a joke. Sorry if you took it that way man.

[sbryant328]

@DeVineFate I know man, don't worry about it. A joke is fine with me! Take it easy!!!

[pick7120]

guitarist sleepy

[jwizzy18]

guitarist fucked up

[ANGELSETSFIRE]

@jwizzy18 yup at 1:13 lol

[fatheadlover75]

Stephen Richards is one hot piece of male meat!!!! amazing in concert!!!!

[transfusion666]

Kick ass!!!

[UnholyEntertainment]

This is actually, Much, Much, Much better than the original version. Vocal wise. I do enjoy heavy though. This is just good.

[tilted58]

awesome



[strabarie2309]

AMazing.

[Scyphen101]

Один из моих любимых групп!

[mhintz34]

haha i love his face when he plays the wrong chord

[LpFlaw]

This made me wanna put on their CD again :).

[skaggs1494]

Light drums in the background would be nice.

[RyanKaufman]

@skaggs1494 Yeah like on a practice pad.

[BaWsLeE]

Dropped D

[danoninho666]

I love this song but.......

In case of fire break the glass kkkkk

[3000GtVR434]

What tuning is the guitarist in? Tabs?

[BallsOfJericho]

@3000GtVR434 The actual song's played on a baritone guitar in drop A.

[Romeoisburning]

1:14 guitarist messed up.

[kx250ltr450]

This song helps me to live (thumbs up)

[mwgcubs]

fuckin a taproot is a way of life

[JesusIsRussian]

the dude can sing!

AUTO-Tuned (NOT)

^_^

[Bostan606]

This sounds just as good if not better than the damn studio version. Good to see that some people still have talent.

[bubbleofthestage]

They remind me of System of a Down, just not as good.

[MrMyxli]

Это просто невероятно!!!)))

[SHEV073]

@MrMyxli согласен!супер песня!

[lawndart420]

they used to play the other version on the radio all the time.....they are actually kind of an old band....

[noelliebelly]

i got chills

[QueenShahdee]

THIS RETARDED MUTAHFUCKER CHANCERYALS1 IS HATEING ON RAP MUSIC -_- WHAT A PUSSY . HES MAD CUS HE CANT SING THE POOR RETARD . HES JUST A STUPID OLD LITTLE DICK THAT LIKES IT UP THE ASS -_- FUCKEN RETARDED BITCH GET A LIFE ALREADY.

[MrKyel17]

@QueenShahdee What's funny about that is that rappers can't sing either. Rap is hardly even music.

[cazmaestro]

At 1:14 he fucks up and plays the wrong chord and you can see them smiling after lol, vocalist is great live

[tiberianx1]

Hell fuckin yeah. thanks for posting it

[justinowen1985]

If you love this song give me a hell yeah

[GamerLifeTV]

@justinowen1985 HELL YEAH!

[RebelstarX]

Wow his voice is great live. 

[dkxazul]

wenisimooooooo

[rdeleon92]

i love this song it gives me...like a certain inspiration its like different emotions really for me this song could go when im mad or when im done but all in all good performance and incredible song

[LovingLifeandWords]

Very cool.

[Moonmanwalker]

If you liked that you should look up dante basco

[soule481]

Holy shit, This is making me tap my foot like it should in electric, Damn you guys are fucking great.

[Stevebertable]

someone got tabs 4 that? pls? =)

[Havok5288]

at 1:15 the guitarist plays the wrong note and they both crack up. Kinda funny

[terrariana]

40 pople missed the green button.

awesome cover!

[showmeiwaspoor]

@terrariana 792 missed the red button

[GamerLifeTV]

@showmeiwaspoor Red button? Nobody was aiming to pause this fantastic music.

[theguest00]

The singer looks high as a motha on here! Look at his pupils

[strongerthanallgtr]

love this song i just posted a cover of it! :)

[BAMBANGexit]

...Taproot...i like this band because they didn't become mainstream...sad to some...but to me...it's a stand...to make your mark...just one time...to make your mark to this shitty world...to this band...i bow...

[CamilleA05]

The lead vocalist is gorgeous! So hot.

[Inducedfury]

space painting (y)

[rakk2100]

yeahhhhh want to see more!!!!! they are good band too!!!!!!

[snorlax4]

Vote thumbs up if you think 40 people misclicked the dislike button.

[fligher1]

the intro sounds like tanks for nothing by SUM 41 :)

[souldice]

@fligher1

Or the other way round since Taproot's album Welcome was released one month before Sum 41's...

But in any case, you're right. Sounds kinda similar... :)

[johnnyKillmore]

SO HARD to sing a room that small. Way to go. Saw the guitar mistake at 1:15 and the little smirk cuz he knew he messed up. Hehe. Hard to play that soft and calm after doing it electric though I'm sure. I have to re-train my picking hand if I only play electric or acoustic for too long.

Rockin' song. I actually bought this album in the store so they got paid. Rare these days.

[dylanpunkkurosaki]

Eargasm when he goes "In case of fire,

BREAK the glass,

and move on into your own...

your own..." Taproot kicks serious ass \m/

[flymarvin]

Fuckin` Awesome Tune. DIG IT.

[dtimm702]

melissa loves u what las vegas?

[unchartedfan818]

wut happend to him does he still sing

[bdyer80]

Love this band and new album is great!!!! Love the guitar players style but he mest up when I seen him too, he couldn't remember how to start smile, we just all waited till it came to him, funny

[dragonslave70]

Why won't this terrible nu-metal garbage just go away?

[axisdarkking]

Guys you rock. We talked with you today at rock 93.9 I'm Jackson today. You guys sounded great. The new CD rocks. Good luck with your tour and we will see you again.

[AsylumsAshes]

Still looking for musicians. For further info check my profile.

[thismanisgod]

ehl..

theres better live bands out there by far //

they got enough recognition if you ask me..

comeone think Shinedown , alter bridge, and shit . They need more credit.

[erik2311]

yeah much better than in some live videos

[stgmemphis]

nice , little mess up about 119

[borgeision]

I heard the meaning of this song is nothing deep, just the police almost catched Stephen smoking a glass of weed in his car. Is this true? I want to know the real meaning of this song. Thanks.

[daythv2]

**sooo fuc.... cool!!!! i love this song!!**

[jakeyjakedawg]

im seeing them live in like a week. my brother is doing some work for them so we get free tickets. i will probably meet them with my brother they wont all be offended if i wear a tool or muse shirt will they?

[SunStridar]

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron

surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange

and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While

i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there

came a warning, and my heart was filled with

mourning, mourning for my dear amour, "

Tis not possible!", i muttered, "

give me back my free hardcore!".....

quoth the server, 404.

[loonielone]

@smittygam

LMAO!!!

[smittygam]

The best part is the look on the face of the guitar player when he plays the wrong chord! Priceless...

[TheNegativeFcknOne]

cheers

[sexiw0lf]

This guy's singing reminds me of myself oddly.

[SHEV073]

GREAT! I LOVE TAPROOT!

[matts0688]

They are amazing. One of my favorite bands ever. They're coming out with a new album called Plead the Fifth on May 11th

[fergalp471]

he has a very nice and unique voice - any1 jno if they stil makin music ??

[MissyBeatdown]

His Voice makes me wanna nut my pants. lol. :]

[Marrycroftpentacle]

what an amazing singer

[MotionlessCold]

Seems like stephen puts his heart and soul into a music. There's a good musician

[MotionlessCold]

Stephen has an amazing voice.. I would love to hear him alive, I bet he would be fucking awesome :)

[DukesDynasty19]

Damn... He is rolling hard on ecstasy in this performance... or tripping on acid or some shit because his pupils are fucked up... Either way he is a fucking amazing singer and the fact that he likes getting fucked up is even better...

Rock on TapRoot.

[paintba114life321]

@DukesDynasty19 pretty sure he wouldnt be sitting up straight or he wouldnt remember the words if he was..

[DukesDynasty19]

I'm not disagreeing with you, but an experienced ecstasy roller would be able to... there are plenty of artists who have admitted to using ecstasy in mass amounts and still performing... I guess nobody would know unless Taproot admitted to it.

[TheStarWarsGuru]

Was just about to ask what was up with his eyes but I guess that answers it.

And you're correct about the X and what not, if you've done anything enough then you can function properly. Look at alcoholics. A lot of alcoholics can perform every day tasks and even work while drunk, they're just used to it.

[Amocoru]

@DukesDynasty19 Taproot definitely likes to party, almost all of them, or at least they did around the time they got big 8ish years ago. A few of my female friends partied with them after shows and they partied hard for sure.

[zacks1314]

i like that song . i t is in my top 3 of my best songsthey should make more! :D

[Madzialana]

I love This song and this band :*

Loooove :*

[bangsmacky]

great version

[joeyjupiter77]

REAL

[irwinpaul666]

This song rules ,along with alot of otherTR songs !!!

[jas22]

he has a nice voice. this was another of the MANY awesome late 90s / early 2000s alternative rock songs that got airplay then fell into obscurity.

[nickonoise]

Nice work guys. it is refreshing to hear a real voice and real talent rather than the auto adjust crap that passes for "vocals" these days. A truly fine voice and a genuine talent.

[mandaleighc]

his voice is amazing. this band dominates

[lakajd]

awesome song

[merial20]

the guitarist resembles Pete the lead singer of Chevelle a little bit here, in my opinion anyways lol

[Jayko337]

@merial20 Lol, i jsut got into both of these band at the same time, and thats exactly what i was thinking.

[malissacasto]

He has a beutiful voice. i love this song. :)

[flm829]

Very talented band. They don't get the mainstream recognition they deserve.

[MisuseoftheLetterX]

man him and ian Watkins are the 2 people i wish i could sing like

[ghostz61987]

@MisuseoftheLetterX what about Ben from Breaking Benjamin? haha

[jaunter1]

@flm829 nah check out the new song fracture thats what happens when a great band gets mainstream recognition. They get controlled. gift and welcome are real taproot maybe even blue sky but i have a feeling people will get really dissapointed with their new material.

[Chompton23]

@flm829 IKR this is the only that got really any

[lcddg]

@flm829 well that's how thing works these days stupid music are at the top and real music are the one at the bottom

[15Deathwish15]

@flm829 to be honest, fuck the mainstream. it makes bands sell out. i personally think, Taproot deserves recongnition, but being mainstream.. is messed. i think they are better off this way. (not saying its bad) but.. its just best.

[MrMandingus]

@flm829 BECAUSE THEY SUCK

[flm829]

@MrMandingus Then why were you listening to it? Just to fuck with somebody?

[findyourintelligence]

@flm829 i think they don't go mainstream so they don't sell out

[33steven33]

@flm829 no i think they've gotten plenty.. theyre overrated as it is

[flm829]

@33steven33 Well you know what they say. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.......

[33steven33]

@33steven33 mines from a non bias standpoint.. i've liked taproot but they've def. got all the recognition they've deerved.. that's just an intelligent observation

[RyanKaufman]

@33steven33 Honestly you couldn't be more wrong. I rarely meet anyone who knows what Taproot is. When little kids like Bieber can get the most viewed thing on youtube, I think Taproot deserves an extra digit in their videos as well.

[KlownTheKiller]

@flm829 thats what makes them great tho

[SLSeighteen]

how can you not absolutley fall in love with this song! it truly is the prettiest song i think i've ever listened too..poem is a great song title for it

[showmeiwaspoor]

@SLSeighteen thanks for the account

[Mikeybetts]

@SLSeighteen

not to mention it kicks some fucking ass in the origionaln version

(the rock, but not acoustic version)

anyway, kicks ass in rock

ans sensitive in acoustic

Poem is the only song that i know of that does that

[RcEdits]

@SLSeighteen listen to in my life by the beatles

[slipknotfanalex21]

this is almost all cover bands first song. its simple yet amazing

[blitzcarn]

amazing fing singer!! awesome!!

[VisualFucks]

1:14 the guitarist fucks up and they both have to grin XD

[KaNe1493]

it's what true musicians do =]

[aDance2Die2]

The chorus is the best thing about this song.

[ProcyonSide]

+5 SONG IS GREAT!! And shut up anthonyln

[CJHansen36]

i need this song

[urinesurfer]

you suck buttfucker This is a good song and also a good accoustic version

[eatpineapples1]

He sounds like the singer from Incubus here

[anthonyln]

HA they fucked up

[Gutter1217]

he's so cute aha

[Fudgeyer]

I dont know this band very well but this is a great acoustic performance. can anyone recommend me any songs by them?

[Optikaliluznz]

they're like a one hit wonder...this song came out when i was in like 7th grade...and that was in like 2002 i think..lol..I have not heard anything from this band since then

[Gutter1217]

what are you talking about? they have a bunch of songs. look to the right of your youtube page and see for yourself lol

[elbee12]

i agree...they have other great songs like "Day By Day"..."Art"..."Calling"..."Ag­ain And Again"...just to name a few

[shophidxenon99]

Fudgeyer Get the Album Titled Welcome I like the whole album pretty much

[dickshagle]

Boston "Peace of Mind" !!

[dyli09]

great voice ! :D

[fordmustang96]

this is a good version. sounds good live

[skaggs1494]

normal version is way better

[dlovesadam]

Omg i have always heard this song on the radio and i never knew it was taproot! crazy! I love this song and this version is cool, but i like it better when he screams :D

[JoaoPedroPio]

cool song :D

[SsKBrUtALiTy]

the singer resembles Steve-O in a way lol

[XxaerothenutbarxX]

you Sir are right!

[captainkabuki16]

I love this vid because it shows the lead singer can actually sing seeing that he didn't scream once.

I actually like it better stripped down like this

[mouthoffxxx]

LOL @ 1:13 He messed up at other parts of the song too, but its still fun to listen.

[logansibley22]

alot of bands suck live,taproot....aint one

[naik2222]

yea a wicked one..he want all of you to die

[annegy420]

I touched myself a billion times watching this!

Taproot is the shiz!

[yinyowhite]

limpbizkit killed taproot. and i dont say it to bug taproot fans. actually i hate limpbizkit because of this. taproot could have been more mainstream but the durst asshole got in the way

[Zsadist360]

yea well my cousin owns sony...... oh w8 i made that up..... *shrugs* oh well

[slipknothim13]

here's how this goes. People that fucking argue through comments on YouTube need to die. Its ridiculous. Grow up. Either post what you like, or didn't like, then leave. There's no need for "yo fuk u, u fag!" Goddamn.

[TheTallBeverage]

FUCK YOU FAGGET! lol jk im with you 100% little kids saying shit like what i just said need to grow up.

[pandurate]

and the irony is... that you just did what you say others "need to die" for. be sure to post the death video here.

[browncoatz]

say it as many times as you want, no one is going to believe you, nor will they (meaning me) will care

[isamazingnomatterwat]

this is really my cousin my moms maiden name is dewolf and he is her cousin so he is my cousin

duhhhhhhhh

[AtoScordie]

he really got a great voice

[isamazingnomatterwat]

thats my cousin the guitarist mike
