'Bodies' got all the hype and press, but, in my book, 'Tear Away' will always be the pinnacle of Drowning Pool's contribution to music. Love this song!
This has to be not only the most underrated metal song of the early 2000s but the most underrated in general. Melodic notes mixed with metal screams are just a sweet spot to the soul man.
It's funny how Bodies is still actively played in metal pubs/bars, but this song and the album in general fails to get noticed anywhere near as much as it deserves to be. There will never be another Sinner.
It's got literally everything you could ever want. A quieter distorted intro to grab your attention, an explosion of metal right after that, killer verses and choruses, then that really atmospheric solo part. It's a masterpiece.
I don't know about anyone else but this song doesn't sound egotistical at all. It sounds (at least to me) like he was a very happy and trusting person at one point in his life but he was crush and betrayed by people he thought were his friends leaving him only to care for himself. He realized that being overly trusting gets you no where and the only person he needs to care about is himself. Sadly I know how that feels, I bet i'm not the only person who has.
you're right mate.ive pondered a lot bout how he felt bout this song,came to the conclusion that he realized the ultimate truth of life: aint no-one backing you up.
I've had friends who I have spent time with every day for two weeks turn around one day and say "fuck off, we don't want you here." I ask why, but they just say "because we don't like you, faggot."
I really hate that he died. That album was so glorious. Every song on that album was so perfect and amazing to me. I first heard the Sinner album as a kid and now years later as an adult I still find myself coming back to that amazing masterpiece. That album will always remain as one of my all time favorites. I just wish he released more music before his death. :(
Dave was a great I honestly believe if they stayed together they could have been one of the greatest, now drowning pool is one of those bands with one good album. But the sinner album is great. I'd say right up there with Slipknot's self tiled album
Barricade2091 -i totally agree!! Many good songs on the album... Tear Away, Bodies, Sinner. One of the few CDs u could listen to all the way thru with no skips
Okay valid point, but Slipknot have made it, Drowning Pool is still growing so why diss Ryan for carrying on Drowning pool if he can bring forward them and still do what Dave was bringing to metal, Even if Dave is not here to witness it, So I guess my valid point is that Dave legacy is living through Drowning pool with Ryan and the rest of the band, like Slipknot is carrying on and living the legacy of paul.
They are living the legacy because this was their first album without Gray and he was a key member and co-founder of the band. It's the same with Slayer and Jeff Hanneman, Avenged Sevenfold and The Revand etc.
I’m here in 2024, almost 45 years old, metal head for over 36 years, with light rock younger from older generation. I still listen to Drowning Pool to this day, all the material to singers, it all just kicks ass. Appreciate your music. Will listen tell into the grave, and I’m pretty healthy, so I’ll be listening for another 30-40 years 👍
@@waldeezee870 such a hard question since it changes all the time but if i had to pick my 10 favorite right now plush - stone temple pilots lovesong - the cure take a picture - filter today - the smashing pumpkins how to disappear completely - radiohead tear away - drowning pool on melancholy hill - gorillaz hurt - nine inch nails black hole sun - soundgarden another space song - failure there’s just too many so here are some more time - pink floyd i’m going to do it - giles corey digital bath - deftones the dock of the bay - otis redding crazy - gnarles barkley
The Guitar solo at around 3:00, literally brought tears to my eyes and made me feel that warm tingle run down my neck and back. My spirit for a moment felt as though the guitarist was channeling some divine energy that he transformed into Audio form, and the way he plays it's looks that way to me the way he tilts his head and body upwards and moves.. Beautiful.
@@kingoftheverticaldiet1108 Right on brother, extremely glad I'm not the only one. The philosopher Kant called music " The quickening art", There is an absolutely amazing little video related to this here on RU-vid called " Alive Inside: a story of Music & memory featurette. It's about this cool old cat named Henry who has become neglected and lost in his own mind and when he hears his Music he comes back from the abyss and is alive and himself again. It's only around 6 mins long bro, please check it out if ya can.
@@amritcheema8856 yea brother, these wonderful songs are like the artists whole life and soul transmuted Into musical form so they can share themselves with us Forever even after they leave this earth.
This song speaks to me on such a deep level. I used to be a trusting person who cared a lot about others. But after being treated badly by people so many times, I decided it's best to to just stick this life out alone. In a weird way, it's a liberating feeling.
I relate to this song hits so hard. I'm alone even I've friends they do not understand my musical taste and they judge it. So rather be alone in my own world. And I ❤girls! I've had a crush when I was Younger there was a girl we were very good friends she accepted me as I was when no one did. Later on I've started to have feelings about her. But she didn't felt anything similar only friendship! She broke my heart but later on I realized she wasn't the one for me. So now I seek for my❤one. I believe in Jesus Christ but still❤allkinds of music even non Christian like "Droning Pool&Korn,Slipknot,Devin Townsend etc...
bro i'm going through the same shit... I hold my tongue so fucking much, but when I let loose i'm the fucking bad guy. I'm really a hurtful person because of all of my trauma. I literally don't bother a soul but people always wanna come at me sideways. I gotta pray just to not end up losing my shit.
Unfortunately, Dave Williams passed away. I'm a grown ass man, and my heart is broken to this day. They tried with a new vocalist, but I personally wasn't with it. I tried to get into it. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that was the end of DP.
Seen them with SevenDust right after 9-11 happened, radio stations wouldn't play Bodies for sometime after that but it was insane live as people literally hit the floor... Rip Dave \m/
Just goes to show how opposite this songs chorus was in regards to Dave, his final wishes were to buy his parents a home, and after his passing the funds he secured was able to buy his parents a home, just like he wished. A true legend and such a solid character in the game of life, respect Dave, rest in peace
This song always makes me so sad because to feel what he’s saying in this song is a sad and lonely place to be. I interpret it as being so lost being so hurt in turn becoming so depressed and numb that no one else matters anymore. It’s a sad place to be and I feel that’s how Dave felt I mean to me you can see it in his eyes. Metal music is real and raw. These guys say what they feel. Rest In Peace Dave. You will always be one of my favorites!
My worst days of the year, I always listen to this song. When my girlfriend leaves me or a friend betrays me, this is my go-to song. So I think you're right
It's not one of the most technically impressive solos ever. However, it's definitely atmospheric and complements the song perfectly, and sometimes that's the most important part.
I'm 14 years old, and Frankly I love rock, I'm new to Drowning Pool, Because this video came out around the same time I was born. But I love the music that they put out, and I just want to say that this band had some amazing music.
Sinner will always be one of my all-time favorite albums. Dave's voice was angelic. Losing him was the end of the Drowning Pool I fell in love with unfortunately. It's like if David Draiman or Serj Tankian or Corey Taylor died, and the bands replaced them with anybody else it just wouldn't be right. If Linkin Park tries to find a new singer it won't be Linkin Park, like the magic is gone. Dave was one of those irreplaceable ones too.
It really sucks that Dave died so young Drowning Pool would have been one of the biggest bands around if he was alive. Such a great talent lost to the world.
I'm tearing away Pieces are falling, I can't seem to make them stay You run away Faster and faster, You can't seem to get away Break Hope there's a reason For questions unanswered I just don't see everything Yes, I'm inside you Tell me how does it feel To feel like this Just like I do I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone Do I really want this Sometimes I scare myself I just can't let it go Can you believe it Everything happens for reasons I just don't know I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone or anything but me Goddamn I love me I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone or anything I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone
This song was very cathartic to me. I listened to it a lot on my last deployment in 2010 Afghanistan. I care deeply about my men, family and human life in general. When this song came on our internal speaker on the truck it really helped pacify negative thoughts about things that happened. It wasn't that I didn't really care, but the song somehow helped me process the many thoughts I had about the things I really cared deeply about.
you aren’t a hero buddy, you got deployed and used by your super power nation for false agendas harming poor civilians in their dystopia. people have woken up to you all
BLAZING waffle56 Hm, I dunno if I would go that far. They could have been far better than they wound up though, its a shame the guy couldn't put off dying for a few more albums.
@@luminousfortune it still is the norm, you're acting like every kid in existence in the 90's was a metalhead. Also nice cherry picking a singular playlist of mine with only rap in it and ignoring all the punk and metal ones. Average boomer thing to do I guess, point proven
I’ll never forget waiting to go in the Skydome for Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto and this being one of the theme songs was playing outside while people were filing into the building.
Underrated? They were huge in the early 2000s. Ryan McCombs had a tough act to follow. He was heavily disrespected even though he kept this band alive for the better part of ten years but now we finally get new Soil which I prefer.
I remember Wrestle mania 18, saw drowning pool live, last time I saw Dave Williams perform, never will forget that night back in 2002, nothing will ever beat the late 90s- early 00s
This is how addicts feel most of the time. They dig themselves into a hole while burning the bridges with their friends and families. When they finally hit rock bottom, there is nobody left to help pull them out so they lash out and blame everyone but themselves. Some of Aaron Lewis' lyrics were like this, and he finally pushed his ego away enough to find out everyone still loved him. They were just waiting on him to start helping himself.
Well... I had a really interesting story but go away anyways. Tis how I saved myself. Whoa, I like how I don't put as much effort into sh & my comment is way shorter 😁. I mean, I'm a female & just like to communicate my emos. I mean damn.
16 year old me would wait by the radio and be ready to hit record when this song came on just because I loved that guitar interlude so much. I still do to this day
I love this song and I'm a 62 year old female. I love the vibe and the way that these guys aren't afraid to throw this song right into everyone's f'ing face!!
Something told me to go back to the song and remember the good times that this band has been a big influence in my life. Thank you Dave. Rest easy up there.
If cj.pierce died you'd be saying same shit dave williams and cj.pierce were drowning pool the sound! the guitars and the vocals!...real fans still enjoy cj's guitar playing js i love the guy just as much as dave.
This isn't the first drowning pool song I was introduced to but it was the first one I've taken the time to actually listen to, this song is my most favorite on the sinner album. I was on my way to a cbat (Community based acute treatment) 3 years ago when I first heard this song, when I finally got home after 2 weeks I listened to this song a lot and then I listened to every song on sinner. I never thought that I would have liked every song on sinner, but I did. Edit: 2024, I'm 17 and still jamming to this. Time goes by fast, it feels like yesterday when I discovered the song. Every time I listen I'm hit with a wave of nostalgia, I wish I could go back, but that's not possible. I'm grateful for this song and I'm grateful to Dave Williams for putting out this masterpiece before he passed. Rest In peace Dave Williams, though I wasn't alive during the time, the legacy you left behind will always have a place in my heart 💙.
RIP Dave 1 album is all it took to die a legend and is still to this day one of the most iconic albums ever sinner was a masterpiece full of classics Bodies is still easily one of the most recognizable and again iconic songs in rock history
@@_Roasted_Marshmallowy'all are both right, the harsh lesson of what happens when you give too much of yourself away, and the self affirmation for trying to will oneself out of the pit of sickness.
@Railqun I would imagine they would have continued to become much more successful but in his short time making music he definitely managed to leave a huge mark he sound is timeless 😭
