Sounds flawless because it’s being recorded and mixed in a studio live. I agree they sound good but everything is being corrected while they are performing.
Yes Mr. Eduardo Alessi as you said in your comment....it was professional to the "key🔑" !!! I was there Seattle & seen it, heard it & loved it with a stage pass. PARTY 🎉.
I mean. Definitely did not sing same notes as studio. Did what he had to with an incredibly tough song at the end of a set. I could only do this midset on my best days transitioning into different songstyles for the second half of the set. All around the hardest rocking song not mamy people talk about.
I learned the song from beginning to end in about 3-4 days with a few hours a day practice. The lyrics carry this song; our 1995 class song…man I’m old😐, but what an all time generational song…great work! Been playing for 32 years and an average player, but very knowledgeable and no slight on the guitar player at all, but to label EXTREMELY RARE, just going a little too far.
My best friend turned me on to Candlebox we were going to see them in concert but he died before we got too go see them. When I listen to them I remember all the good times with him rocking out to Candlebox. This was one of our favorite songs to rock out too.
My husband worked at a Correctional Center a few years ago. On Sundays, different inmate bands would play music for the other inmates on the yard for entertainment. One group , the lead singer, was singing "Far Behind". Sammy, my husband really liked the song. he asked the singer the name of the group and the song. The very next day, he went out and bought the CD.
I don't pretend to know all the intricacies of the hate situation. But from what I understand they wrote this song for Andrew Wood. And that had some backlash with other bands and fans of Andrew/Mother Love Bone. I have some Idea's in my own mind as to why it could have caused backlash, but it is all speculation on my part.
Best song in the history of ever. I remember putting $20 in the tank of my '64 Electra 4 door hardtop and driving through the cornfields late into the night until the tank ran low to this soundtrack. This song still holds up, f#cking timeless.
Love his voice. My favorite voice in all of music creatainly not the best sounding voice. But clearly my favorite vocalist in rock music. I wish I had a band and he sang for my band. ❤
This whole EFFIN band is sooo underated, from his amazing voice to their excellent music and riffs....Still, some true rock,,,lets get them back to the top !!
I saw 'em at a festival a couple summers ago and even though it was almost literally in the middle of fucking nowhere Kev absolutely let it all out that day. I don't think he knows how to hold back ...
Because they sung out of row talent and kept the voice in the throat so much, you waste your voice that way, Layne Staley for example would be voiceless today, Vedder lost so much, Weiland and Lanegan the same. If he still can sing is because he's more a student probably
I was in high school when this song was released. Reminds me of a girl named Angela. We hung out, listened to music and has so much fun. Damn, those were good times.
One of the greatest most dialed live bands ever! Seen them a few times thru the 90s and they never disappointed. First time I saw them Kevin stage dived and gave me a boot straight to face at the Roseland in NYC. He came back with free merch that someone stole off my girlfriend minutes later. Still, one of the more memorable shows I've ever been to, and I've been to hundreds, and have seen many of the greatest bands ever to grace a stage. These dudes were def way underrated and under appreciated. Not many bands that can sound as good, or even better, live, than their albums.
That guitar and that tube amp are perfect his playing and gear are mastered. The singer is killer bass and drums are rock solid. Man. Cymbals are majic.
They must age really really well then :/. I wanna think its not them but what do I know about music... I just listen. To think they came out when I was 12 😧.
Me too the mix on this was perfect.. everything sat in its space nice and clear... great performance by everyone .. but that damn vocal performance was epic
I just discovered this, and I started crying, I saw them in Woodstock 94, and I loved their way of appearing on stage, Peter Klett is a wonderful guitarist, and Kevin Martin speechless, his voice is exactly the same from his youth How I miss the 90s, my generation, my times. 💕🌹
Back when rock was cool. I don't care if heavy metal, grunge, rock or similar. Need more tunes like this one, except not on someone's death (Andy Wood), at least he got one hell of send off. Awesome song.
You is pretty deep for me too. Guess I grew up around rough ppl. I just put the cd cover video on my playlist. So, that's as much as I ever paid attention to them, superficially at least. But I remember reading some comment about how he/ she only got there to talk about how they look and it wasn't nice. I guess they're prob slightly amused now. They feel like they should be up there. Here, they don't even seem that much older than me
Wow, they sound great! I've been a fan for almost 25 years. I understand why today's music sells but they can't perform like this. It's too studio edited.
i remember when Candlebox and I went to go see Candlebox but Candlebox died before Candlebox and I could go see Candlebox. That was the day that i turned away from drugs and really really started planning my career path. Haven't had a cup of coffee since... thanks Cnadlebox!!!!!
Andrew Wood would've been the "Kurt Cobain" of that musical movement. Gone too soon buddy! This song was originally supposed to say " Now Andy, I did not mean to treat you oh so bad".
Friends in South Bend knew how much I loved their music and took me to their concert in Indianapolis as a BDay present early 90’s. Love them for it to this day. First day I learned I had sleep apnea as well. Apparently I kept them all up with my snoring in the hotel in Indy afterwards. What a night and memories!
In a 1994 interview with Playgirl, Candlebox frontman Kevin Martin stated that it was inspired by two friends who overdosed on heroin and "represents the loss of love between friends and having to be left with the feeling of emptinessHe elaborated in a 2008 interview: "I wrote 'Far Behind' for Andy Wood. I was a huge Malfunkshun fan and a huge Mother Love Bone fan and I got to know Andy early on in his career when I was working in a shoe store with Susan Silver who was managing Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains.
This song I dedicated to my best friend that passed 19 years ago. He's telling me that I should forgive myself for all the stupid things I did, let the guilt go, because all of that is a leaf in the wind. I miss my friends...
