@@ryanb9749 Can't go wrong with Phil Collins! My dreams aren't as vivid as they used to be, but I still often remember an old song in a dream and then wake up with that song stuck in my head.
Not a big fan of the band, but 'Take a Picture' is one of the most blissful, wholesome, good-vibe songs I've heard. Has a spiritual feel to me, never get tired of it
I won a radio contest in '99 where they played a set of 5 songs in a studio for a handful of us. They were really cool and they signed all kinds of stuff for us - still have short bus and title of record signed as well as guitar picks and drum sticks from them. They surprised us by giving us all access passes to their show that night too!
Take a Picture was the first Filter song I ever heard, and based on that song I assumed they only made ballads in that vein. Boy was I ever so pleasantly surprised to find out they were actually an Alternative Rock band with Industrial Rock nuances. That being said, I still enjoy Take a Picture. Great song to listen to on a Friday night. Great choice story for a Friday, Sid!
Thanks! We got some obscure punk coming next week with a HUGE band from the early 2000s next week I have never covered. Actually both are brand new bands I’ve never done
I wrote a pop punk cover version of this song for my band to play but unfortunately we broke up before we could record it or play it live. I don't boast about many things but man I love what I wrote for that intro riff.
I saw Filter at the second Family values tour and they killed it. They were even better when I saw them deadline their own tour for this album! Simon Says opened up for them- great band that didn’t take off much
They did a live version of "Take A Picture" on The Anthony Cumia show a few years back. It's still on RU-vid if anyone is interested. It's awesome. WAY better than the album version imo. His voice is outstanding. Highly recommend checking it out.
I saw Filter open for White Zombie in the 90s. Their lead singer said "f you" and dropped the mic and left the stage mid song. Later, Rob Zombie was telling us in the nosebleeds to get up out of our seats. We didnt and he told us to "f" ourselves. $50 to be told off by 2 assholes. ❤
I was born and raised in NJ. Lived there for 35 years, Moved to WA State in 2001. One the day I left, it was very emotional. Got on a plane at Newark airport and never looked back. During the flight, this song came on one of the free music stations offered. I don't think I ever cried so hard in my entire life. Most of the lyrics may not fit my situation but, this song really hit my soul that day.
Some say it was a rip off of the song BAD by U2 from the album The Unforgettable Fire. I said BS to this guy. But I went back and listened to the two songs in full. Well...the guy had a little bit of a point. Hey, have you done a bit on Soul Asylum??? Or The Cult???
He sounds like a terror of a human that is now past that and romanticizes his hurtful actions of the past with being part of the process of creating his forgettable art. A familiar troupe with many of his stories.
Ah yeah, the days before 911 when a person could be drunk, strip down and be a nuacence on a flight then greet the captain as you walk off the flight. Simpler times indeed.
I remember hearing Wendy Rollins from Radio104.5 in philly saying this meaning back in the early 10s.. i stopped listening to commercial radio, and got SiriusXM.. 🎉🎉
Take a Picture is a good song but I never heard it that much. I thought Hey Man Nice.. was their biggest hit. Oh yeah and My Long Walk to Jail is really good too.
Yes on my to do list. A girl from Edson where I grew up her Mom worked at tim Hortons and took the band’s order. I remember she was so excited the next day in grade 6
Heads up everybody. If you make a comment with the complete title of one of their biggest songs Hey Man Nice.. then youtube's nannybot will most likely shadowblock your comment. You will be able to see it but no one else will. Always go incognito to verify that your comment has actually posted publicly.
If you have kids or communicate with anyone a generation younger than you, I wonder what your response will be when they tell you the same thing. Let me guess, it'll be you're right and everyone else is wrong. Sounds like you're nearing your "old man yelling at clouds" phase.
@dream_in_digital yeah, I'll take melvins over that trash...oh, what? Melvins were before them, and are still touring and recording... so, who's more relevant?
