The thing that I like about this song is his voice. Also, the bass part destroys my shit. And additionally, I think it's just a very well-written song, and the guitar parts are outstanding.
Saw these guys in a bizarre concert in Columbus in about 2003.. it was Sponge, 7 Mary 3, Spin Doctors, and Gin Blossoms in a fenced in parking lot, all for $15.. I would have paid $15 to see each of these bands individually.. and all were great
Seven Mary Three really did have that post grunge Stone Temple Pilots / Pearl Jam sound , kind of :) they rocked back in the 1990s , the music had real substance and meaning
I thought Rock Crown was a fantastic album. I love 7M3 - their music changed (maybe mellowed) a little bit from where they started out. Up to them as to what music they make, I guess.
The only thing that I think the studio version (aka the major label version) trumps most live performances of this song is the harmony backing vocal on the "I have becoooommme..." line. Sounds so succinct in the album version.
I disagree. He tries too hard in the second half of the song by singing the higher harmony parts, leaving the other guitarist to just sing the lead vocal harmony from the record but in a softer tone. Additionally, the other guitarist is also playing a tighter rhythm version of everything the singer is playing to make him sound good. Basically the singer is not being genuine, he's actually being a bit of a controlling narcissist here.

That twangy sound your hearing in this song, is the delightful signature sound of that Tele that Jason Ross is playing. Not many people would pull off a song like this on a Telecaster (which is typically used for twangy country tones).
I hear more distortion than twang. I think you are listening with your eyes cause he's playimg a Tele...there is nothing twangy about a distorted Tele sound my friend...
first song i ever learned on a guitar, never had a lesson even to this day never a lesson and this is the only song that i've learned that i never forget :) it's just drilled in my brain great rock band and badass heavy song \m/
I love this song, this is an amazing performance. I was 8 years at that time, aww the good days, you can hardly find a band these days that are as good as the bands in the 80's and 90's.
I remember seeing this band in panama city beach at the beach club la vela, To this day it is one of the best shows I have seen! They were, at the time, too big to play there but honored their agreement to play as it was booked before they got big. In my opinion the best rock album from a 90's band.(Amerian Standard)
This was the best live band I have ever seen. Saw Metallica and other greats they were the best no joke they were just as good live if not better than their CD.
True, but rock music used to be much more popular than it is today. At least, the more raw side of rock. Nowadays, "rock" that the younger generation is into has little to do with dynamics in song structure, less to do with deep lyrical content, less experimentation in the studio, less genuine & authentic songwriting. It's a bunch of guys that "look good" singing about how their parents hate them and school sucks. granted, that always was too. But 90's and past was less whining and more serious.
Riding shotgun in the corvair with the top down listening to cumbersome and smoking cigs. Wish i could turn back time. (1998) junior in high school RIP Williams
i'm the biggest powerlifting, veteran from the hood you ever met. during this time i could deadlift 800lbs for reps. I never got a workout like this in rochester,ny catching all these crowd surfers for 45ms. never knew who 7mary3 was before that. great band, great crowd, great energy... great night. It was a singular experience
A song that came out way before it should have music like this nowadays is a dime a dozen and is very hard to find.. this is why i am into my 70s-2009 music.. mainly rock (basically anything MINUS POP COUNTRY cause pop country sucks ass and is remanufactured music) I sing this song at least twice a week in the karaoke circuit all over OKC
That JCM 800 had to be tearing people's heads clean off in the front row. Singer had the gain pushed pretty hard that day. Lots of clipping in the mid range
not too mention, while there was pop of course, there were a lot more of, i guess "power pop" type bands. Yes, madonna, cher, etc had quite a bit of airplay but it was pretty balanced out by the same crowd of moms and kids listening to matchbox 20, gin blossoms, goo goo dolls, etc. Those bands created their own music. Even pop used to be somewhat original and tolerable. Nowadays, it's all auto tune and pre-written songs by record producers & getting worse. That's bullshit if you ask me.
D. Scott Whitaker No stupid, in the Freaks and Geeks episode "Dead Dogs and Gym Teachers" Jason Segel's character Nick writes a song for Lindsey called "Lady L" and it sounds very similar to this one. Plus they look similar and happen to have the same first name, fool. "DERRRR ROSS ROSS ROSS DERRRRR" that's what you sound like.
Yeah, Cumbersome is off of their second album. They have six other albums.They may have "fallen off the face of the earth", but I still listen to em on a semi-regular basis.
