I Reunited My Old Band After 23 Years 

A Perry Farrell in their too very nice and 90s Alt sounding!

Kind of sounds like a U2 cover band.

Vox are so 90's! Awesome!

Agree with Craig on Perry Farrell. Pretty good

@@guthrie_1 indeed

Yes this is their song I fell from space it came out back in 1999 on their album ascension

Yes he sings great

Reminds me of the flaming lips singer a little

Rick beato is a conartist

@@individual5021yeah!!! Like Wayne excellent band too!

@@RU-vid_2userjaded much

Looking forward to hearing your band reunion with Pete and Chappers in 20 years Lee!

Agree

Totally agree, could not have said it better! JT from downunder.

Seriously. It's like they transported themselves to 1995 right in front of us (not a complaint)

Saved me a post😉 it was Smashing Pumpkins meets Dinosaur Jr. while skateboarding with the Pixies.

Smashing Pumpkins! The first band that came to my mind listening to this song. Now I'm a Billionaire fan.@@NoSacredCowFla

built the spill does it count?@@NoSacredCowFla

it feels like an old friend

This is so mid 90s - takes me back to highschool.

I came here to write the same comment!

It's the mid-90s modern rock song that we didn't know we needed.

It’s Rock! It Rocks! Don’t ever count us old guys out. We may look old but our Heart’s are still Twenty something!

When I look at you I see a trail of burned corpses

Interesting ... Burned Out Corpses as a band name for a retro Grunge group. Or the chorus of a song about the 2024 State of Politics.

@@trteeerryfse-wy2ww lol .. what prompted that ?

why do you have to spell it out like that? lol! this just makes me feel old, in my mind saying 90s is sufficient

This should've been in the soundtrack for One Tree Hill, Charmed, or Smallville. Like it.

@@RCAvhstape somebody saaaaaaaaaaaveeee meeeeee 🎶

This was his old 90's band that had a short lived deal.

I got excited, what can I say...lol @@BMR86

excelente ideia.... eu não ia perder um episodio!!!

Remember that most of the (old) songs by Billionaire are available on here. ☺

Definitely 🏁

This 💯!!! Great idea man.

I heartily 👍 agree

There is a whole album of this music on spotify.

Is right, like to hear more from the band

Like we all did before cellphone light became a thing.

Good old times with BIC's instead of smartphones =)

Until they took away the ability for us to turn up our BIC's.

Was looking for a post calling out Marc's vocals before posting my own. He really sounds amazing.

Yep, I caught that too!

Great comment dude, we had the same teen years apparently. Hope he’ll listen..

Hell yeah. I thought this was good but...holy shit it was good.

Yes, that’s a great voice! On the chorus it was right into Sting territory with a hint of Bono.

The same. I’d buy this. If y’all played a festival I’d show up.

Funny, me too.

Ehh, no. The vocals clearly don't line up with the video. Neither do all the instruments, probably, but I wasn't paying attention to that. EDIT: What I'm trying to say. They did multiple takes, of course. Probably did some comping. Cause, you know, that's what bands have been doing since recording was a thing. And, dare I say it, it's very probable that they even did some vocal tuning

Not live for sure

anime opening or closing. this song is perfect

You guys have the chops. You should take the act on the Road. I would buy a ticket

my mind went straight to Transformers

Really? I think the music business is hard in many ways but there's a definite reason why some bands make it and some bands don't.

@@zootsoot2006 However, sometimes it is simply a matter of luck or lack thereof. Being at the right place at the right time and make the right impression on the right people... I know what I'm talking about because I have a special talent for messing up things like that. 😄

Keep rockin'!

Music IS the fountain of youth. Rock on.

This is so true. I'm 55 years old and still play like I wished I could when I was 15.

When I was a very young player, not even 16, I read an interview with some middle aged dude named Brian May. The interviewer commented on his youthful demeanor and he said, .."Music is the fountain of youth..." That stuck with me, obviously. It *can* be so true too. Youthful passion is so easy to lose and writing music (GENUINE music) gives a person a sort of connection to their old self. You know, it's not like a picture where you just look at it and reminisce over it but it's actually something you created! Something that sprung up from your "fountain" of youthful passion, determined to express whatever it was you were trying to express. Again, it's not like writing poetry, which you go back and read 30 years later. It's music, it's in your head/heart and you have to perform it again. It can take on new meanings, for sure, but that old original longing to be heard, to be understood even... that passion that causes the flow is always there. Sometimes embarrassingly so. 😂 The fountain is as deep as your reason for it. That's one reason why some musicians seem to get better with age while others lose it all after becoming too comfortable. I'm talking with the music they started with; not the new. Then again if you're really happy and comfortable then your passionate music will reflect that. I have examples.

@@adambane1719 yeah, feels a bit rough, but I assume it's from 2001

Not a fan of the singers tone. Very thin and whiny.

@@deepzepp4176 its definitely not for everyone but you have to agree it is very 90's alt rock

Do it! I dare you. I would love to jam with my old band from '84. There have been a lot of bands over the years, but the 80's were an awesome time to be a cover band at the beginning of "New Wave". From Oingo to Thompson Twins to Haircut 100, there was so much going on. Would love to re-visit that group for a jam.

Too soon.

i think so too, creed should open for Rick...

Did they do the Marlins song??

Lmao love the reference

@@adambane1719 got opinions, bro?

I thought the same thing. Lol

I thought Marc reminded me of Richard Patrick of Filter but Perry Farrell vibes are there too. Good company to be in.

Yup...I also got Perry Feral vibes too!..👍

Absolutely loved that Rick awesome 👊

​@@adambane1719 -- I wasn't crazy about the lyrics either. I also I think there was a real lost opportunity to launch into a killer chorus at 4:40 right after the Oasis-type refrain or whatever you'd call that. But aside from that, the musicianship is great and I like the overall groove of the song. Cool stuff Rick!

Exactly! This ADDICTIVE late '90s huge sound.... 👌❤️ Great job

They sounds like the good parts of Failure

I was thinking the same thing, pretty damn impressive.

Strong Filter vibes too

Let me add that I felt a slight touch of spicy grunge and progressive rock, but yeah, late 80's, 90's and a bit of 2000's

Quite Filterish indeed. I can hear Richard Patrick singing on this.

The thing is the name of the band sucks. Does anyone really like rich people? I think the band is great though, I mean that was their song we just heard - it has all the elements I like in rock music. just change the name to Thousand Aire or something!!! And now I just read they were signed back then. I think the name wasn't good yeah there's a lot to a name! Didn't someone try to tell them?

@@metalmike570 There were lots of questionable band names in the southeast at the time. By the way, to avoid a lot of emojis and to clarify tone, if I were saying this out loud, I'd be smiling the whole time. :) One of my favorite albums was also produced by Rick - Jump, Little Children's Between the Dim and the Dark. The band was named after the old blues song and tried rebranding as "Jump" on this Rick-produced album. It didn't work and the band didn't make another album for years after that. (I don't blame Rick for that, though.) Rick has also done quite a bit with Butch Walker. On one album in the mid-oughts, Butch's band was called "The Let's-Go-Out-Tonites." Between the wordiness, the unnecessary punctuation, and the misspelling, I'm not sure what I hate the most about that name.

@@yomintyfresh Either way they were real rock musicians, I would just say the name of Butch's band is too cheesy, and I'm from the northeast. They should have called themselves The CoatHanger Heads or something.

That's what they get for trashing Creed lol

@@metalmike570 Nah, they just need to change the spelling to "Bill, ya neigher!" Fits right in with the 90s Bill Clinton jokes.

Came to the comments to say essentially the same thing! Rick, I hope you guys don't wait another 23 years to do this again. You four obviously had some chemistry and it seems it's still there. Album! Or at least EP!

I totally did not expect this sound. For some reason I expected one of those sounds that are only enjoyed by connoisseurs, but this I am not one and this is AWESOME.

They got buried under the emo/punk sound at the time. No one wanted rock n roll back then, 99x tried…but that was the extent of it sadly

@@muddygun Huh? This is THE prototypical 90's Alternative Rock sound and done very well. Think Failure, Screaming Trees, Better Than Ezra, etc. Surprised they didn't blow up.

@@Jay.McCarty Yeah, those happened in the early to mid 90s. The late 90s, when they put out Acension was a rough time for this kind of music. Plus, that album had a lot of rock n roll roots in it. The bands you mentioned strayed a bit more in to grunge.

@@randalltolliver9744 Yeah, I saw this was out in '97 right after I posted. On the outer edge but this stuff was still kind'a big.

He reminds me of Filter

Reminded me of Perry Farrell! Very Porno for Pyros.

@@JeffMasonProject That's exactly what I was thinking. Marc sounds a lot like Richard Patrick.

For sure. They are all amazing but he really did stand out.

​@JeffMasonProject thank you! I was trying to place what I was hearing and that's it.

@@similarsubstance4885 Definitely heard a little Coldplay in this.

I agree with you about Foo Fighters. That's immediately who they reminded me of.

With a little bit of GooGoo Dolls blended in (especially lyrically).

spot on, so nostalgic as well

It reminded me of Filter.

Poor bass player :’(
