RaoulDuke79 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 To each their own, but I'd put this song somewhere around 27,382 in my play list. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Great song (although "You" is a much better song from the same album). But saying it's one of the greatest rock songs ever is like saying Derek Jeter is one of the greatest baseball players, ever. He was great. Everyone loved him. But he wasn't even in the same universe as the true greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very good song. As is 'You.' But the lead singer having a tantrum due to the accoustics at the arena they played up in Niagara Falls (probably the NU basketball arena, don't remember which venue they were at; show was 25 years ago, & that was the only show I saw there) and refusing to face the crowd the entire show knocks that & them down several pegs.

That's why, I haven't listened to the radio, at least new music stuff in probably 15 years. Rather slip a CD into the cars player, something I like.

I figured you as sometime older. Far Behind was released in 1993. Most of us fogeys consider the Classic Rock era to run from the 60's and 70's. As for the song, it's okay for a one-hit wonder.

One of my first concerts candlebox at UB. Like 93/94, around there sometime. Opening acts were Our Lady Peace and then Sponge. OLP and Sponge were so good that Candlebox basically got booed off the stage. They were crying about the crowd and eventually walked off playing like 20 or 30 mins only. It was a long time ago, my memory is probably fuzzy, but thats how I remember it. The song is OK. But best rock songs of all time? Come on man, get a grip.

The singer did stop the show early on to ask people not to body surf because he knew someone that became paralyzed after falling awkwardly whilst body surfing.
