Toadies - Tyler

[AllThingsGreene]

If you know the history of/story behind this beautiful song it will chill you when you hear it, evrytime. Has been a haunting tribute I love to sing for over a decade and a half now, never failing to cause a powerful reaction in my soul!

[TheBdl1978]

The Toadies kept good alternative rock alive through the nineties.

[TheSweetcharitypie]

This song is super HOT!!! I LOVE I ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL!!!



[LookSquirrel]

So dark. The thoughts are dark. Well played.

[cdixon5150]

@LookSquirrel yeah, the best part is the dark lyrics and the story...fantastic song

[MrEdrolls]

tyler texas great, saw these guys downtown chicago.. freaking great show...

[raphater2000]

Great band from my area! 

[XxLovefistxX]

Don't get me wrong I love this track, but does anyone else think it sounds exactly like the Pixies' Where is My Mind?

[lakechuck]

@XxLovefistxX Never really thought about it but I definitely hear it. I have no problem with a great band paying homage to another great band.

[cjliendo]

@XxLovefistxX Don't you mean the Pixies' Where is My Mind? sounds exactly like Tyler by The Toadies.

[ggalexhutchings]

@cjliendo umm, except that the toadies acknowledge that the pixies song in question was a huge influence, and the fact that where is my mind came out like 5 years before this.

[cjliendo]

@ggalexhutchings this whole time iv been referring to "the kooks" instead of "the pixies" haha sorry guys. but those two songs are ridiculously similiar.

[ggower27]

@ggalexhutchings Negative. The Pixies retroactively copied The Toadies. They're that awesome.

[XxLovefistxX]

@cjliendo FYI you just got treated.

[JenniferPresents]

@XxLovefistxX Never connected the two... perhaps influenced...like the way Coldplay sounds like U2.

[Basshhfu]

@XxLovefistxX Not at all

[bobvillain]

@XxLovefistxX there are only so many KEYS to play in and this is not in the same key as Where Is My Mind ..............

[MisterMorris666]

@XxLovefistxX funny you should say that. i was just listening to that pixies song and thought to myself "this reminds me of that old Toadies song, shit what was it called again??" and I stumbled over here haha.

[phishfan08]

@XxLovefistxX You're absolutely right and I would ALWAYS get them confused when I was younger. This needs to be investigated lol

[Metallica102938]

@XxLovefistxX

yes lol I have them both on my ipod next to eachother

[WiiFan20XX]

@XxLovefistxX it does sound somewhat similar, but it's not like it's the same riff, fairly different

[brixtongun]

@XxLovefistxX

The Toadies are the Pixies.... With big fat TEXAS BALLS!!!!

[KoEDeath]

@XxLovefistxX And i love them both ;)

[Paulie79able]

Drove an hour and a half to watch toadies at "EdgeFest" in Dallas...damn...am i that old?

[parrottfamily3]

@Paulie79able man I think that a lot when I think about the distances I went to see some bands. LOL You are not alone!!!!

[TheBdl1978]

@Paulie79able

I drove two hours to Lawrence KS to see them a couple years ago so I have you beat. They played at the bottleneck and it is basically just a small bar that for some reason gets a lot of bigger bands to play there. Everyone from soundgarden to green day to alice in chains has played there. The coolest part about the place is they have pictures on the walls of all the bands who have played there and you could spend all night looking at the pictures. go there.

[CultureFusionSite]

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground, try this trick and spin it, yeah, your head will collapse, but there's nothing it and you ask yourself

Why does this sound exactly like Where is My Mind?

[TheDowntown86]

@CultureFusionSite it does. i think you could easily sing that song to this music

[ofnoescape]

pixies, toadies, folk implosion, eels... all good bands future generations will never be able to empathize with. so unfortunate.

[DeadSkullFace]

@ofnoescape I grew up with the Rubberneck CD, it's great. My favorite song was, is and always will be I Come From The Water :)

[rascally5]

@ofnoescape I think you underestimate future generations.

[CherryApe]

Texas!

[xXTribeLeaderXx]

@CherryApe :D

[GreenAce92]

toadies album cover... grown up version of Nirvana's album cover with the baby swimming but with clothes on... no?

[kolaidman67]

2 people were raped

[08nairb]

i really love the 90's

[brokenwings41]

love the song love toadies tnx 4 post

[emmalee969]

sounds a lot like "where is my mind" by the pixies...........

[blueskimo10]

She wakes up? 

[BigTy3046]

Not sure if I like song because it's good or because my name is Tyler. Probably both.

[lilylight23]

umm nice little song about rape

[sarualf]

TEXAS BABY!!!

[kari00ws6]

@sarualf YEAH!!!

[OMGitsREAPER]

A few years ago my friend told me about this band and ever since ive heard them ive been addicted :D. Their so good.

[minxlabrada]

Saw them on this tour. They played every song on the album, (duh, they only had one). But yeah...it was like a big freight train trying to kill the audience. Killer!

[GutterSweatHavoc508]

Dear god, if you exist, you'll resurrect the toadies to bring awesome melodies to our ears.

[DeadSkullFace]

@GutterSweatHavoc508 did they break up? because they released a cd in like 2009 i think

[SycoX17]

@GutterSweatHavoc508 a journalist friend of mine just did an interview with their drummer, i believe they are in studio right now recording new material. 

[feenyfighter]

where is my mind?

[stonetemplepilot1996]

:)) I love this song sooo fucking much!! :

[SumGuyOnAcid]

Its totally about a stalking case in Tyler Texas. I think it had to do with a rape that happened in connection with the case. The Toadies had some seriously messed up inspiration but they still kick ass

[MuttonChopYaz]

@SumGuyOnAcid “Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.”

[tornadotimmy1]

this is real music

[HBfilmsinc]

Really. I thought it was about a GUY named Tyler singing about his first time.

[tearsinrain86]

I HEAR HER CALL OUT TO ME

I HEAR THE FEAR IN HER VOICE

SHE PULL HER COVERS TIGHTER

I PRESS AGAINST THE DOOR

I WILL BE WITH HERRR TOONIIGHTTT

:D

[ItsTylerMarie]

I've always wanted a song with my name in it, unfortunately I'm a girl with the name Tyler. Though this song is probably about a city or something, I'm going to pretend that it's about a girl named Tyler. Hoorahhh!

[Thelilzeppelin]

@ItsTylerMarie Tyler,Texas. A stalking case that happened there.

[jackburtonfan]

@ItsTylerMarie There is a Tyler TX, as well as Possum Kingdom Lake...all within a short driving distance from here in Dallas

[ItsTylerMarie]

@jackburtonfan Like I said...I'm pretending it's about a girl named Tyler. Lolololol. Odds are, I'll never have a song with my name in it that's about a girl, so this is close enough x]

[zombiezdunlikeme]

@ItsTylerMarie haha i lold xD

[kadarastrife]

I go to Paschal, the high school a few of the members went to :D

[lmShameful]

I live in Tyler, lol

[JerryJayArms]

@heidimckitan each to their own dumb opinion. Mossbergs may rattle a little, but step into my home and we'll see who sucks (: And as for my AK-47, I've fired a few thousand rounds in the past year and havent cleaned it in that same amount of time and NO jams OR misfires. So as far as a piece of shit goes, talk is cheap. Enjoy the tuneage and stfu. Thanks.

P.S. Women shouldn't have beards. (:

[iguanagold]

ofwgkta

[80sforeverever]

This destroyed the glam metal scene, fuck it.

[TheSolarena]

@80sforeverever some1 should play some NIRVANA for confused sheltered, or retarded KIDS that think the toadies killed the Glam Metal scene,

[TheSolarena]

I Gave my innocence to the Love of My Life to this song , AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!!!

The beginning of a life long addiction to Toadies, Tyler, 10" Clocks; and my lover for over 15 years, Pimp Daddy Disco (don't be lame & try to steal his Name)

[JerryJayArms]

@TheSolarena sounds dumb. (:

[TheSolarena]

@JerryJayArms I understand.. PENIS ENVY, don't worry just go get some big muscles, or big guns, or a big truck....they might make you feel better about your uh, problem but a 10" long 6.75" dia. Clock is what women want, get u 1 of those and even a name like JerryJayArms wont matter...ROAR

[JerryJayArms]

@TheSolarena hahaha. penis envy? that's all you could think of? i am fortunate to have such a great name, look me up sometime its my real name. And I do have muscles 6'2' 220lbs, a couple guns (Mossberg Pump, Ak-47), and a Ford F150. You sure we havent screwed before?

[heidimckithan]

@JerryJayArms mossberg sucks, ak is a piece of shit!



[tabithalynn1234]

@TheSolarena so your saying yer gay



[BETRAYFATE]

@TheSolarena Who would try to steal that name? What, like it takes a genius to come up with something that sounds like the title of an insane clown pussies song? If I had a penny for every time some douche called himself "pimp daddy-something" I'd probably have enough money to buy a pack of smokes. Pimp Daddy Polka

[deadline27]

the best pixies rip off of all time.

[deeppoker]

i would guess it came out around '95.but its doesnt matter i really like the instumentals and subject matter

[deeppoker]

i understand your comparision to '90s rock,but i disagree.this song is not constraind by any time BOUNDRIES

[InebriHATED1]

They ROCKED Houston last Friday 4/15/11!!!!!!!!!! Almost rapped someone.....

[glitcher21]

@InebriHATED1 How the hell could I have missed it! Damnit :(

[yallainthighlikeme]

This is TEXAS for ya

[12ceasur]

And she waits,, we can drive to any place,,, that alone is tha shizzzle

[90smusicrocks1]

i saw the toadies at a battle of the bands in longview tx--wwaaayyyy back when... the 90s produced music that screams fuck you and crank it up!!!!! you know possum kingdom is a real place in texas? so is tyler lol

[12ceasur]

What a rocking badass song.



[Merknilash]

90's had some absolutely AMAZING, unique alternative rock - stuff that was played heavily on the radios and was actually really good and the bands didn't sound so derivative of eachother.

Nowadays we get something like Muse once in a blue moon but the rest is pretty much garbage.

[roodog1974]

i member the first time I cut off a head. heh heh heh

[lmbyn570]

Oh. I thought this was the toadies video. Moving along now.

[JerryJayArms]

I remember listening to this on my tape player. Wish I had kept better care of my tapes ): TOADIES!!!! \m/

[louderthanlove]

Ha ha I remember when I first heard this song I thought aww this is a cool love song...he really loves her...then I read the lyrics closely,,,did one of those..hey wait a min!... insert needle scratch noise here lol still a great song though

[TheKillerpretty]

I drink to this song-get drunk-then rrrrraped hahaha!

[brokenwing36566754]

wasnt this song but they used the toadies twice between the first 3 episodes of SOA during season 2. i didnt even noitice it was them during the original airing of it. i was watching the blu ray last night and toadies kicked in twice. i was all like "AWESOME how did i not catch this when it came on the first time".

[BruceLeDouche]

@brokenwing36566754 Stupid question, but what is SOA?

[brokenwing36566754]

@BruceLeDouche sons of anarchy.

[matthewbettes]

I forgot how good this song was

[KellieCrosby]

Hey... flick your bean to the beat of the drums. It's fun.

[roodog1974]

@KellieCrosby LMFAO......you truly are a godess my love.

[ItsTheWooo]

Question: why are the toadies preoccupied with rape?

Heel.

Possum Kingdom itself (do you want to die? almost threatening proposition to seduce this girl)

...and other examples as well.

Why toadies? It's always simultaneously creeped me out and fascinated me as well.

[KellieCrosby]

@ItsTheWooo R-r-r-r-rape??? What's so wrong with rape? Hahahaha.

[ysgaisyih]

hey guys, know how to avoid a scond date? play this song on the first date.

[ItsTheWooo]

@ysgaisyih i lolled

[Sherziegirl]

Where is my mind isnt even by The Toadies everyone its by The Pixies.

[MermaidProblem]

Where is my mind was '88. This song was '93-94.

[Zombiesfire]

Tyler Durden, Fight Club, Where is my Mind?

[CnLopez101]

@Zombiesfire It's about a rapist from the city in Texas called Tyler. 

[peralesleo89]

"daddy gave me away"

yes or what?! haha great song

[LongshoreNut]

Toadies

[viciousbloodbath]

Tyler's my favorite too. Tyler is, oddly enough, a very beautiful sounding song that's not about vampires, but about something Much worse, I think. The Toadies seemed to write great songs on RNeck, around horrific subject matter. No one realizes, because the songs are so melodic and pretty. This song sounds like it's a guy, stalking a girl. He fantasizes about driving her to mexico, to evade the cops. Finally, at the end, he breaks into her house. Check the lyrics. Possum Kingdom is about rape.

[rangerstubbs76]

@viciousbloodbath Somehow, no matter "melodic and pretty" the music is, everyone has always known how twisted the lyrics were or what they were saying within them if you were paying attention. All you have to do is listen to them. Garbage is much the same way, plus a few other bands from around the time this music came out. Same stuff, different sound.

[TheVenusBlood]

i'll watch enything frum lakechuck

[TheVenusBlood]

what a damn awesome song

[jumpinfish88]

Damn this is a good song. But it's pretty fucked up too. the guy wants to rape and kid nap this chick. wants to own her.........

[maulyyy]

VAMPIRES?!?!?! SERIOUSLY?? JUST BECAUSE YOUR DUMB ASS LIKES TWILIGHT HUH. THE GUY BROKE INTO THE HOUSE, GOT A BEER, AN KILLED HIS EX. JOELYNC....U WISH U WERE A VAMPIRE, AN U SHOULD GO HANG YOURSELF. DONT FAG UP THIS GOOD MUSIC WITH YOUR GAY AS HELL TWILIGHT FANTASY. K? THANX. BTW...WHERE THE HELL IS EVEN 1 REFERENCE TO VAMPIRES???? GO PUT ON A BLACK CAPE AN JUMP OFF A CLIFF. SHOW U STEAL YOUR BEER. SHOW U BREAK IN YOUR HOUSE. SHOW U LAME "I WISH I WAS A VAMPIRE CAUSE MY LIFE SUCKS"

[bangbangurdead123]

2 people wished they could make music as great as this. Thus the dislikes were bon.

[Dagbailey79]

my take......whether she is there in body or not....i WILL be with her.....

[badkarma52]

This song is the epitome of 90's rock. How was it not more popular???? Thanks for uploading, great audio quality.

[SuperRedSeptember]

@badkarma52 Because kids these days dont know good music.lol

[Righteousxs2]

@badkarma52

Very true ... it's got that 90s signature sound that I was too young to truly appreciate until the decade ended, haha.

[manano06]

Thanks alot for putting this song up. Takes me back to my sophomore year in high school. bad ass times. thanks again

[joelync]

Possum Kingdom is about vampires. He went to a summer camp called Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas as a child, and they had a legend about vampires. Possum Kingdom isn't anywhere as dark as it sounds, in fact, it is a lonely request from him to his 'dream girl' to join him in immortality.

[PortalMouth]

@joelync It's about anything anyone and I want to believe it's about. That is the great thing about music. I'm not saying it isn't about vampires but I just don't see it that way. I see it in a much more realistic manner. Just giving my two cents on the interpretation.

[McFrankable]

@PortalMouth I don't think any of the toadies songs are about vampires. But thats just me.

[McFrankable]

@joelync ...sure it is

[tadster94]

God, i love 90's alt rock

[MOBROOKS]

@tadster94 amen brother!

[jswiga20]

With my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds..Where is my mind?

[edwardpenishandz]

@jswiga20 Omg lol it totally does sound like that!

[47jackmullen]

@jswiga20 exactly what came to my mind

[NTheSkyWithDiamonds]

possum kingdom is about a ghost story

[theawsumoalishia]

wait possum kingdom is about rape???? why did i never catch that

[aliciaRaeN]

@theawsumoalishia Rape and Murder, it happened in Texas, Possum Kingdom is the area I think,

[rspringe14]

Best Toadies song ever. SO BADASS.

[lakechuck]

@rspringe14 agreed!!

[chillin244g]

No doubt!

[Farnkd]

@rspringe14 Rape.

[auroradamien]

@rspringe14 Totally agree.

[roodog1974]

@auroradamien not true.......I slept with my wife to this song on our first date.....but then again, we're both pretty twisted

[TheTexasBastard]

I could be wrong but I do believe this song is titled after a town and not a person.

[gandhizombie]

The first time I heard this, I couldn't believe how amazed and horrified I was. I had no idea what it was leading up to... and its perfect.

[dorkwithagun567]

what the fuck is up with the guy on the cd art....i don't like the cd art at all it sucks ass

[extmalcolm]

@dorkwithagun567 Lame.

[kari00ws6]

@dorkwithagun567 I thought it was the dude from Happy Days.

[Meclesky07]

@dorkwithagun567  you suck ass

[dorkwithagun567]

@Meclesky07 wow did not know that toadies had such an intelligent fan base! Now I'm almost ashamed to like them too.

[deutoronic]

I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in

Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer

I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed

I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!

[femmefatale1990]

@deutoronic "anxious breath"? doesn't he say "and the way she smells"? and "pour myself a beer"...I have to look at the lyrics...

[ILikeWafflz]

I really like the drums to this song.

[mandeykandey]

I LOVE THIS SONG :)

[Tyomack]

@stargazerchloe my names tyler.. =D

[throwedlol]

holy shit i found my toadies shirt earlier

thumbs up if youve raped a girl

[bcbcbcbcdc]

@throwedlol hahahaha what the fuck?

[jcr678]

@throwedlol are u serious?

[BurningChrome]

Going to see these guys tonight in Denver! One of the best live bands I've ever seen!

[TheKarlMarxist]

Dia De Los Toadies!...be there...

[SuttonSantiniPaulo]

This whole album is amazing.

[zyclonb6]

Wow The Toadies were the most underrated band of the 90's. People will argue, go a head but I found them just as good as sound garden. Nothing special about thier skills but damn they sound good.

[imortality1995]

@zyclonb6 Hum and Self were two very underatted bands fr the 90's also

[imortality1995]

rubberneck is the best rock album of alltime.......i know their the pixies mixed up with ac/dc...but neither of those two bands have as strong of an album as rubberneck is. Seen Toadies twice now and they fucking own saw them in 95 open up for bush...bush rocked but toadies blew them off the fucking stage. saw them in 09 also.....looking foward to seeing The Pixies this sep. in Kansas City at a small venue..have never seen them

[Bennihanna23]

@imortality1995 pixies are fuckin amazing live :D



[pri0n]

i wish the toadies had gotten famous instead of nirvana back in the 90's, they deserve it.

[femmefatale1990]

@pri0n I wish they had as well, not instead, lol.

but, yes, The Toadies are such an underrated band.

[imortality1995]

@pri0n both bands r badass....both easily in my top 5

[theworldisthekiller]

this has been stuck in my mind all day heard it on da radio :> toadies rule!!

[TheKarlMarxist]

Great music from TEXAS! :)

[femmefatale1990]

@WeaponTripleX No way. Possum Kingdom takes the cake on this one. But this is my first time listening to this song. *looks up the lyrics*

[otakukun82]

I love the Toadies, this album is the best one. People need to realize that this is good music, not the bullshit they play on the radio today.

[chrluzz]

@otakukun82 as long as stupidity and subjection coexist, this will continue to be forgotten more and more.

[poisinlotus89]

I love them <3

This one is amazing :]]

[jamrockification]

please rape my juicy ear vagina

[ckret2]

@jamrockification You probably want to see a doctor about that ear of yours. Doesn't sound healthy, dude.

[Wasphamma]

The Toadies rule!

[arb123]

Fuckin love this song. Almost makes me want to break into a hot chicks house and hump her butt. Love you Toadies!
