In the shock of hearing a new sound, and the mistake of comparing it to dear nostalgia, many forget why they like Third Eye Blind. It takes some listening's to really get. That's why they're deep. That's why the third eye is blind...
My HOME FUCKING TOWN!!! Go 3EB! They've always been awesome. I've liked them ever since I was about 6, so for more than 10 years! They're coming out with a new album, too. Can't WAIT! I haven't seen them live, but my mom has, and she was amazed! So anybody who's trying to diss them in any way, shape, or form, buy a fucking ticket next time, go to the show, and be prepared to hold your jaw up for the next few hours! LONG LIVE 3EB!
I am with you on Farther. Not a big fan favorite, but definitely one of mine. I don't know about 3EB being "one of the most popular," however. And that is part of what makes us love them.
Kevin is listed as 'co-writer' of the songs. Doesn't mean he wrote 'most of the lyrics' as you say. If its the same as it is now (and previous records with Arion) Tony is listed as co-writer of a great deal of the songs on OOTV and Ursa.
man.. I must have seen a different concert than everyone here. I was surprised by how fuckin awesome the show was.. especially Slow Motion. Check that one out.
I'm not going to argue about who wrote what lirics but Kevin was a great writer combined with stephen gave the band alot of energy. They also got 2 albums recorded in 3 years. Stephen has said he has trouble finding the right words for the lirics. It has been about five years since Out of Vein was recorded. I also think Tony will never be as good as Kevin at guitar but thats my opinion. I still cant wait for Ursa comes out, its been to long. Dont get me wrong I still like Tony and 3eb.
Arion was great in my eyes because he always got into the music (and started fights with Green Day). Tony is good but kevin wrote most of the lyrics when the band was in its prime. Ever since he left they haven't found their way back into the spot light. Stephen now says he has trouble writting all of his songs because he can't find lyrics. Still I can't wait for the new album.
I have seen a small handfull of bad vids of them on youtube. I think the worst was on USA Today or something, years and years ago. That was an out door concert, the air might have been cold, who knows. For a band that has been around as long as 3eb, you can expect a few bad shows from time to time, but they rock out most often.
hey guys! not sure if you've heard but tony is getting ready to release some new stuff. if you're a 3eb fan im sure you want to support him, so go follow him on twitter @tfredianelli and add him as a friend on his new facebook page "Tony Fredianelli" lets give this guy the support he deserves!
They've been terrible live since the first time I saw a live show on TV many years ago. I've heard a lot of people say they didn't think the show was bad when they went, but when you watch how off-key Stephan is live, it's hard not to think they're pretty bad live. The albums are are all excellent though
Kevin didnt write any of the lyrics (i assume you are talking about guitar). Do you really think that stephan would sing lyrics that were written by kevin.
@ambry88 Stephan gets away with not being a great singer by having a nice timbre and hes a brilliant lyricist and writes great vocal melodies, when i listen to them live i listen to the message and dont focus on teh vocals not always being spot on :)
@secondeye i share the same impression, but their albums... well, Out Of The Vein and the self-titled, are phenomenal. Just not a great live band... it happens.
