Dax Riggs - Thing in a Jar

[xxmortified]

I'd cry if I didn't think it would drown out his voice.

Brilliant, Dax. Honestly, truly, unmistakably...brilliant.

[Andalbanon]

Seriously, "Grant," shut the fuck up.

[JayRockSlim]

Who could dislike this?

[Love4Peace502]

.......who wrote this?

[MrChosen88]

Is it just me or does the guy that yells dead girl sound like john travolta?

[emisometimes]

Everytime I see Dax play, people yell out requests & everytime they do I yeall "He doesn't take requests."...which, the last time, he found particularly amusing. Let him sing what he wants to sing & when he does it SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[mtheoryx2]

whoever disliked this... fuck you!

[Zerenity1986]

This man is TOO sexy for his own good. Oy!

[irontga]

Does anyone know the cords for that song ? I did tryed playing it just by listening... All I could get to is Am - C - E - F repeat. But I think he's not playing in that tone... Anyone ? If anyone know how to play that send me a msg please ! C ya !

[X4boomboom]

Simply amazing!!!!

[Passonetwothreefour]

0:45 to skip the chit chat.

[Bkajunn82]

acid bath never shoulda broken up

[NearXLifeXExperience]

@Bkajunn82 Hard to keep it going when the bassist dies.

[ocbrandy]

@NearXLifeXExperience

No offense to Dax...but they lost one hell of a singer too.

[darksensi]

goddamn his voice is gorgeous

[wernerslostblues]

i probably have alot of the back stage shit on all the tapes mixed in with my kids growing up movies. but i dont even have a camera anymore that shit broke along time ago haha. dax smokin weed and playing. boom. those were some good times.

[NHWvideo]

no words can describe how great Dax is...this song is one of his greatest and I would love to see this make it to an album.

[yermomsboxx]

Haha...I think I went to school with a couple of the people in the background.

[bigboppa8]

love it

[wernerslostblues]

all i can say is i was cockfu. and i recorded alot of these videos that are on youtube of the predeadboy shit and during deadboy orriginal. i'm just happy that it has stayed online so long. glad i brought this to people to see anytime. i remember alot of late thursdays when he played ren and shit. and it was a pleasure to record and upload this to the orriginal dax forums.

[raz0r699]

My favorite version of this song. A tad slower and more haunting. I love it. Been a fan for years!

[timmfrit]

he can do that cause he was "born with the gift of a golden voice of 27 angels, from the great beyond...."

[yermomsboxx]

How the hell does he do that?!

[kimmierae70]

goddamn..this is one of the best Dax youtube vids I have ever watched, sound quality-wise. beautiful. ~sigh~

[touchtheONEpower]

what ever happened to the video for his cover of Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen ?

[emisometimes]

Sunshine, you must see him live. You are right. Subscribe to his myspace blog if you haven't already. You can keep up with his current dates there.

[xinvictusx]

Best version of this song I've heard him play. Sends chills down my spine.

[touchtheONEpower]

word

[themasochistmuse]

I love that man's voice.

[gingypop]

There should be dead silence when this man sings.period. bullshit fuckers talking in the background and shit. sit the fuck down and shut up =)

[slumpuppy]

no shit i would find it very difficult not to choke someone.

[Mc1984Fly]

i was there this night...one guy actually wanted to fight dax bc he refused to play scream of the butterfly...

[emisometimes]

THANK YOU!!! I hate that shit. If they are not awed speechless by that voice they deserve to be bound & gagged.

[wernerslostblues]

@gingypop it was always like that at the ren. of course i was behind the camera and talking as well. haha.

[themuffinman001]

[junoprojekt]

laughing and smolder.

we turn into children with donkey and ears.

the puppeteers pretty hangs in the door way.

i'm your thing in a jar, all illuminated.

a night that the moon will eat the stars and we are all illumniated.

i have a rage but it's not hatred, it's all illuminated, it's just all illuminated.

all illuminated~~

all illuminated~~

[junoprojekt]

*corrected* outside rainbow monsters melt strangers still split it into two people. laughing and smolder. we turn into children with donkey tails and ears. the puppeteers pretty one hanging in the door way. i'm your thing in a jar, all illuminated. a night that the moon will eat the stars and we are all illumniated. i have a rage but it's not hatred, it's all illuminated, it's just all illuminated. all illuminated~~ all illuminated~~

[graveflower138]

get your fuckn lyrics right

[junoprojekt]

take your dick, twist it around dip it in some water, then dip it in some sand, then proceed to force your cock up your ass and fish off by removing your genitals slowly with a butter knife.

you sure are a fuck head and i got the lyrics from the studio version of the song, not the live version.

DIAF

[graveflower138]

[junoprojekt]

[nooirax]

[Raizaiel]

I was view 7777.

I feel lucky.

[perfectifmelancholy]

outside rainbows ... monster's mouth ... strangers still ... split into two people laughing and smoldering we turn into children ... with donkey tails and ears the puppeteer's pretty one hangs in the doorway ... i'm your thing in a jar ... ... all illuminated at night the moon meets the stars ... ... and we are all illuminated

[perfectifmelancholy]

i have a rage but its not aging ... ... all illuminated it's just all illuminated ... ... all illuminated i thought i heard a song in your voice ... ... but i was wrong i thought i heard your song in my head ... ... but it was my own i once held it in my hand for awhile ... ... but now it's gone i held it to the sky and now it's gone ...

[perfectifmelancholy]

i thought i heard your song in my head ... ... but it was my own i'm your thing in a jar ... ... all illuminated at night the moon eats the stars ... ... and we are all illuminated i have a rage but it's not aging ... ... all illuminated it's just all illuminated ... ... all illuminated For Your Enjoyment! Obviously, the first verse is the first comment, progressing upward.

[buzzkilla12]

i really wish he would play dead girl :( i cant find lyrics for this song anywhere. anybody know of any websites with dax lyrics?

[sydneymassacre]

dax is hands down one of the greatest singer/songwriters of his (or any other)time. i'm more partial to the older stuff,acid/agents,but every version of this song rocks,also evil freind sounds badass stripped down too!!!

[Lukeor]

I hate is listening to the guys in the back go "we're going to go get some food" right before this song plays. I'll never get to see this song performed in this fashion. Those kids need beaten.

[Grantwad]

lol, the guy who says "we're going to get some food" is talking to me...it is a shame because i was just a little drunk but that was a great show

[Gravedigger35000]

Can someone tell me where may i get the lyrics of this song ? cannot find it on web -_-'

[Gravedigger35000]

Tout simplement incroyable... L'une des plus belles voix de notre temps sans aucun doute.

[ksa3]

Dax is fucking amazing and anyone who thinks otherwise should leave....just leave.

[Allegra250]

Absolutely fucking amazing. LOve him in Acid Bath, Agent's and Solo. I can't believe people were talking through this and "going to get food" what sniveling idiots, damn them to hell!

[bubblesprite]

Dax is the most amazing songwriter alive. I have seen him about 20 times, and I will go to every show that I can.. I love his voice, and this version of the song is great!

[turbotrauma]

Where do you see him live? LA? Austin? Thanks

[bubblesprite]

A few times in La, New Orleans, Missippi, Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Nashville..I try to go as much as I can.. I can't get enough of him.. :)

[Lukeor]

This is most likely going to be the best version of this song he ever does.

[Andalbanon]

I agree, Lukeor. A truly incredible version. Everything comes together...perfect timing, perfect lament.

[Allegra250]

Also agreed, something magical about this version. The people in the crowd obviously don't know how lucky they are grrrrowl :(

[cazandnaoise]

WOW!

[DeadHeartHollow]

And if you got nothing better to do than sit and take the time to write out negative and hostile comments to me cause I typed out a bands name wrong.....go...get...laid!! Get off me and quit flooding my mailbox! I dont care what you think!!

[DeadHeartHollow]

wow, fuck. You know, yeah I made a typo and typed out the name of his band wrong. Lock me up!! Jesus, you people are such assholes about this shit. No wonder I dont make many comments on YouTube. There are more 12 year olds here than I thought. Go away!

[bsaucier]

this is at a bar called the renaissance that's in lafayette. i'm pretty sure i was at this particular show. the clever fajita comment at the beginning is what clicked for me. i remember being more to the right of where the camera is with my friend watts. and oh yeah...i wore band shirts when i was 10 or so...for alot of reasons too.

[nikkigogo]

i worship every syllable that leaves his lips. check out my ATTEMPT at this song. i didn't play the whole song cuz i chickened out. shy, i guess.

[lionsandtigersolson]

needs to come to longview tx----- i miss the presence of greatness

[Lukeor]

Best songwriter alive.

[redrock505]

pfff, why wouldn't you wish success for him if he's your hero, he deserves to have his music appreciated by more people than the small group of acid bath fans

asshole

[DeadHeartHollow]

he has plenty of success with continuing records sales of Acid Bath material and with his current band Elephantboy and the Deadmen. Why would he want to get banded out and have his shit made into ringtones like AFI and Avenged Sevenfold and have 10 year olds who have no clue what this music is about running around wearing their shirts? Its shit like that that ruined music. HE aint flipping burgers and still playing music. Obviously doing ok while keeping it real and true.

Dumbshit

[redrock505]

t-shirts don't ruin the music, you just want to keep it for yourself, you think that it belongs to you but it has nothing to do with you.

[abominationjack]

Hey dumbshit, it's deadboy and the elephantmen.

[asldkfjweoijake]

Who's Elephantboy and the Deadmen?

(The band was called Deadboy & the Elephantmen)

Wow.

[4ngelDust]

Amazing.. I love it. Dax Riggs is God.

[lootgirl82]

IS he ZEUS...

[blacksheep667]

to both comments above, agreed.

[asswholas]

the greatest songwriter ever.

[DeadHeartHollow]

Dax Riggs is still one of my favorite song writers and singers. And, thank god, not very many people know who acid bath is much less Dax Riggs. A lonely and desperate song if i ever heard one.

[melissajm]

Not very many people know who he is? I honestly don't think I know anyone besides my Grandma who doesn't! I even know children named after him!
