I'd agree with you 100 percent except the word underrated is bullshit. Noone even underrated them. Everyone that ever heard them loved them and still does. So who is it that you're talking about that underrated candlebox? Tell me.
@@Mr.B.B.Wolfman Settle down dude. I don't even know his name, I've never heard him on any greatest vocalist list or anything. So I'd say he's underrated, because his voice is up there with some of the absolute best to ever do it.
My father was a Crack addict. He passed away when I was 4 during a drug deal, I learned this song on guitar and I could feel him with me jamming out with me somewhere up there. I miss you dad
@@lawnman3638 Not when he's high. I think he's straight now. Look at freekin Ted Nugent. I think he's in his 70's. Still looks great, plays great, and his mind is sharp. That's what staying straight will do for you.
I am on my way there in about 2weeks... The Nashville people have been so relentless even tho I've been a pain in the ass.. A gazillion excuses... They kept on me. Especially Kathy who was especially relentless😊for over a year..we bonded.after a while.. Love you all for putting up with my late night drunk calls and not giving up on me....Tiffany, John, Jeremy, Daniel, Jim and whoever else answers my 2am calls...you are special people!! Thank you.
Been clean now for 6 Blessed years. Life is better on the sober side, along with all of life's normal ways. Lived out in a homeless "tent city" for 3 & a half years with my chemical dependancy before I finally had enough. As long as you are breathing, there is Always Hope! My prayers continue for all who still struggle w/ addiction. God Bless & Help all addicted addicts. Amen
We're the lucky ones , not many make it out alive. Whatta a f'd up life that was. Every single day when I'm either walking through a store or on the street or wherever I feel so thankful that I'm sober and not polluted, dependent and sideways and remember back when, looking at the other people around me wishing I was normal like them and not imprisoned in myself. I'm not gonna say I don't miss the escape of being high, cuz sometimes I do, but I don't pick up, the last run was waaay to ugly, scary and totally outta control. But the really great thing is not HAVING TO, whatta relief!!
this is one of the bands I used to listen to back in my active using days. I've got 15 years clean from heroin addiction and I gotta say, it does get easier with time.
I've been a big fan of this bands music for more than 20 years now, but I never knew they did something like this - playing in a rehab center and sharing their own experiences. So much respect to them for doing this...love this!!!
Amen, very cool to see a band perform at a place like this. I've been in and out of them my whole life, and I can't stress enough how much this would have helped me! Not fair lol
I've been sober since last May after having my 8th brain surgery having hydrocephalus all my life, Im feeling better than ever physically,mentally and spiritually since then
I just came across this. Candlebox, you rock! On my own, zero junk in my own body. A bit of help from other music lyrics. Survivor of a brutal rehab. These lyrics make me cry in gratitude for you. Thank you. Welcome to the "D".
Wendell P it's still great, but you can't really think it's exactly the same. It's much whispier, less full, like is normal with age. But he has done a good job of adjusting to his changes.
Great acoustic version! This is one of my go to songs when i need to free the anger and sense hopelessness for those lost whether famous or not. My heart bleeds for this program to make a major difference in helping those struggling with addiction/substance abuse. Major respect for the survivors and their loved ones...♥🙏
Saw Candlebox live by chance years ago at the House of Blues in South Carolina while l was on vacation. I had an immediate connection with this band the first time I heard them.
Amazing and loved hearing him talk about Andrew. What a great song, I would have been a blubbering mess if I had been there. I would have loved to have met him but he'll never be forgotten, he was a shining light and exactly what a rockstar is in my opinion. It breaks my heart that he was taken too soon, I just wish he could have recovered from his addiction and was still here. I wish they were all still here, we've lost too many who were so important in mine and countless other people's lives. They got me through some rough times and still do to this day. Miss you all RIP Andrew, Layne, Kurt, Chris, Scott, Mike 💗
I feel his testimony. Drug free for 5 years. There is a life after drugs! It’s not perfect like he said but overall better. Stay strong brother . Love your music enjoying life , monkey on my back FREE.
I fractured my collarbone while crowd surfing listening to this song live in 98 when I was 14. I've seen this band live 3 times and they always kick ass
Wow. I never knew the story behind this song. I grew up with these guys! Pearl Jam is one if my all time fave bands of the 90's and I didn't take the time to sit back and listen. Just like a teen.
made my day. what a classic track. a song i could close my eyes to and all a sudden im 17 again. and life was just music and skateboards and the last good decade was alive and well. i had no idea the backstory behind the track. thank you for that.
Remember being told to remind yourself everyday how long youve been clean for. Its what gets me by....for now. May god be with you all. Ive been clean for 26 hrs!
Damn right here is to recovery!!!! It rocks! Loving memory of Layne Staley my favorite all time singer and to those fighting and those that have lost their lives~ RIP Zack Shook
A singer , song writer and a genuine true and great man. He deserves all the admiration he gets. It takes a truly humble man to take time to help others and to speak honestly about his past. Met him many years ago and can say he’s a gracious man and he belongs at the top of the great man list for rock stars.
Wow, late 80s, early 90s, I was there, that was my time, my era, the whole Seattle scene. I remember going to Memorial stadium for a Metallica concert and Alice In Chains was supposed to open. Sadly, Lane was in the hospital. If I remember correctly, Candelbox was asked to fill in for them at the last minute, not sure if that was true or if Candelbox were also an opening act, but however they got there, they were AWESOME. Totally blew me away, I loved every minute of that concert. What a great time for music, but also a very sad time. A lot of folks didn’t do too well in that Seattle heroine scene. I have some sober friends that I’m going to share this video with. God bless you guys! 🙏🏻♥️
Saw these guys last night in Cleveland at the casino. They still have it!! They rocked and sounded great! Good live band! Only disappointment was they didn't play "he calls home" one of my personal favorites* but would pay to see them again any day. They love their fans and it shows!!!!
What an incredible dude Andy mustve been. So many classics written in this honor. Kinda makes you wanna tear up seeing so many care about him still after all these years
Mother Love Bone was an excellent band and Far Behind, for me, hasn't aged a day. Still heartbreaking and beautiful. Also beautiful is how those that have passed are still honored by their friends.
Listened to you guys back in the 90's at home in Niagara Falls, NY, then a little more during my time in the Navy. Fast forward to now and I am in the Seattle area, still loving the tunes. Thank you!
Thanks very much ! This was always one of my favorite songs , but it was better this time ! Lost my little brother to smack at 19 , almost lost myself trying to deal with it . Im good today , but it coulda gone the other way if there wasnt some good people to lend a helpin hand. My heart goes out to everyone and anyone fighting this battle . You'll never forget it but itll get just a little easier each day as many others have said . Your worth fighting for !! Thanks again , take care.
Your story is one of a kind. You guys are mind strong. Passion for music. Its in your hearts. I feel special to watch you guys and learn!!! Thanks man!
Great vid, to any and all people suffering from addiction, whether you’re aware that you are or not, please know that there is absolutely no shame in asking for help. When the hook is set so deep that fighting it on your own only seems to make matters worse, please know that there is help, that you are worth it,
Hey Kevin, you all rocked Dallas at the Hard Rock Cafe. You all got me clean with "You", 23 yrs now. Your song "Far Behind" reminds me of my closest friend and running partner back in the 90's. It will be 6 years this June since my "brother" running partner took his own life. I live "Far Behind" every day. Thanks for the great words you sent after Dallas.
I'm 7 years sober and it's hard. Very hard. I had to sober up when they told me I had liver disease and they wouldn't give me a new one because I wasn't sober for two years. Drinking was how I medicated for things I brought back with me from Iraq. I've ruined multiple marriages and relationships with friends. God bless you for this.
. I miss the 90s. He had a strong voice and than I saw them on Letterman bc I never knew what they looked like and it looks like this little kid singing far behind. He looked like such a baby with this powerful voice. Such an underated band they came out when huge fish came out nirvana pearl jam soundgarden smashing pumpkins they and collective soul didnt get the credit they deserved bc it was basically like playing in 80s & 90s NBA with Michael Jordan magic and bird
Candlebox....That was solid of y'all to be people amongst people at the last house on the block. I was there before. Something kept me alive fortunately long enough to feel the pain. ..The strongest motivation in my life. Life is great finally at 48 tomorrow. Peace.
I was in Raleigh NC with my girlfriend (now wife) in an Irish Pub and I heard Far behind being played outside. Came outside to a free concert by Candlebox on by a local radio station. Super cool.
I love it when anyone mentions Layne's name, such incredible singer and good hearted sweet man, he lives on forever and I love this song....for what it's worth I am thinking of all of you battling addiction and congrats to those sober..Nov 25th 9 years for me I went to rehab sadly with cancer and taking my pain meds away all at once when it came back stage 4 due to the DEA!!!! I like many turned to the streets to help my pain, I used in moderation meth knowing it helped pain, would help with energy..I had 6yrs and 6mo sober..I do fuck up time to time but I am nothing like I was, rehab was the best ever..never let your guard down, them triggers come...and having cancer left in pain was what got me but I am still here battling cancer 8 years 1 month later was given 2 years if that left to survive 8 years ago and I am here typing this another Thanksgiving, hoping to be here the next one, not looking good but like addiction gotta keep it one day at a time...
I love hearing bands doing their tunes on acoustic instruments every now and then. No effects to cover things up. This version sounds great on acoustic
Such a monster band, monster musicians, my friend kevin is such a beast and so humble and professional a great soul. Thanks for remembering layne. Great performance. Loved you guys in ct a few months ago. I had the chance to meet Kevin at that show and had some very in depth conversation about life, woman, addiction, overall struggle. Ill be 39 in a few days and been through it all. Loss, addiction, depression just pure struggle like most of us, and I’m glad to say I’m still here and overcame so many demons. They will always be there and remember folks it could happen to anyone! I’m so humbled for that experience.. thank you Kevin and the guys. Love and respect from CT
drugs have been m whole life since i was 11.this music here and all of the 90s were all about drug addiction drug overdoses.today sep 2017 im still listening to this music and been clean for 4.5years .drugs is not the answer i found that out the had way.thank you for this twenty something yeas later.still listening
no dude, I missed the bass lines too. still, Candlebox was a great band I thought didn't get enough recognition probably because they followed the big 4 from Seattle. great band!
Kevin Whitaker They were definitely a guilty pleasure in the '90's. I certainly didn't know anyone personally who'd admit to liking them back then. Don't know how they were perceived outside of Seattle, but, I'll admit to rocking out to their first album and being quite intrigued when they added Krusen. Finally got around to seeing them live at the Showbox in '97 - I think Parc Boys replaced Green Apple Quick Step as support - just to hear how they sounded with Krusen. Was disappointed. But, they more than made up for it with an insanely intense set at their free show at the Mural the following year. Even followed that up with a free in-store acoustic set at Tower the day after that.
I agree but they all sounded different so makes no sense. True is in my opinion as far as song writers . Vocalist. And musicians candlebox a step above. Chris of course had the pipes and good songwriter. And AiC different and great in their way. But these songs on debut all so emotional every and all felt.. and melodic
