This band’s heavy Debut single was one of the biggest rock hits of the year but critics wrote them off as a Grunge also ran. Collective Soul hit #1 on the Rock charts with Shine. Critics were dead wrong. It was a huge mistake on their part since Ed Roland and Collective Soul weren’t of that caliber just in the same time frame.. Their second album 90s classic December blew the sophomore jinx out of the water with several #1 hits including today’s feature. The World I Know Ed Roland walked out of his hotel room in New York City and just moved around the skyscrapers by foot observing the grittiness and the turmoil of the people in this metropolis inspiring him to write this #1 smash. Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls borrowed from it considerably and in my interview with Ed he has the perfect comeback. Also with their other #1 Rock hit, the rest of the band called the song the worst shit ever and didn’t want to record the song. Ed told them to forget it…THEY WERE RECORDING IT.. he was right.. It was one of their biggest this.

#1990s #rock #vinylstory
Hey music junkies Professor of Rock alway here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time . If you love the music of the rock and roll era, YOu’ll dig this channel where we get the stories of the song directly from the artists who created them. Subscribe below right now to be a part of our daily honor roll of this time. and look click on our patreon link in the description to see our brand new show there.
Its time for another episode from our series revelations where artists take us for a deep dive into their greatest songs and albums with commentary and insight you won’t find anywhere else. Ya know.
In the early 90s, bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains swooped in like tsunami and wiping everything out for a time. Radio changed along with it. from 1991 into 1993 this rock music was a completely refreshing sound.
But as we entered into the mid 90s things were continuing to escalate … and a second wave of bands entered the picture adding some gasoline to the the flame of rock s Hip Hop and Teen Pop threatened a total take over of radio as we have today. Pretty much Rock’s last stand on pop radio… One of the bands that made a place on pop radio to keep rock’s flag waving was Collective Soul. They would end up having 7 #1 hits on the rock charts and 2 #2 hits. Starting with their 94 smash Shine.
Critics wrote them off as a Grunge also rans after their first album Hints, allegations and things left unsaid went double platinum. But how wrong they were. Their very next album would blow the sophomore jinx out of the water selling over 3 minion copies in the US with 3 #1 rock hit in a row. December, Where the River Flows and today’s featured hit The world I know. Lead singer and main songwriter Ed Roland really considers Their second album Collective Soul to be their debut album. After the out of the blue success of the song shine which was really a demo recording, Ed and the band wanted to remix the songs for the Hints album for a higher quality re release but they were told that doing this would take too much time and mess up their momentum.

The downside to the continual slide of media into a cesspit. Mainstream media is all lies and misdirection based on political ideology. The new media is a lot of unqualified people who may or may not care about the topic, they just want views.

Collective Soul is so good. And mad respect for them. They played a New Year's Eve show in my city of Saskatoon. The city was hit with a brutal blizzard, and their flight was cancelled, so the band found a charter pilot willing to take the flight. They showed up late, but still made it, and put on one hell of a show. They could have cancelled, and the fans would have understood, but they braved a Saskatchewan blizzard, and blew the fans away.

Collective soul is one of the few groups that I can say that so many of their album tracks could’ve easily been Singles. They know how to create pop melodies and hooks and catchy songs that sustain the album all the way through. They make complete statements and not a single surrounded by garbage. They are among the best bands of the 1990s

Honestly, dude... CS is better at writing songs than even Nickleback. Say what you want about NB, but they know how to write a song. CS is 1000x better. Disciplined breakdown and Dosage are basically filled with songs that should have been singles. Not a bad song on em. My apologies...

I was fortunate to see them live back in 95 at a small venue in South Florida. I had backstage access to a lot of shows as my cousin worked for a local radio station and sneaked me in as a sound engineer. While I saw many wild and sometimes scary backstage happenings, what struck me about Collective Soul is they were drinking water, eating healthy, and actually talking to their fans about their music. You got the sense that they are serious musicians that enjoy there craft. Shane Evens talked to me about playing the timbales. I still have the signed CD cover. Great memories. Thanks for this video POR!

@derekwark5010 Год назад

Collective Soul...to me...is the most underrated in the history of rock music. Before some of you laugh at that I challenge you to go back and listen to their library of work. They have so much great stuff that for some...is undiscovered. So many people know just their amazing hits but to actually delve deeper into this band you really begin to appreciate the TRUE GENIUS that Ed Roland really is. They also put on one hell of a concert. Ive seen them roughly 10 times and every show is a great night of recognizable, fun rock music. Ed's lyrical talent goes without saying...they have so many catchy songs that also go without saying and its ridiculous how robbed this band is and continues to be having the great hits library and the aforementioned amazing music library period. Simply put ... I LOVE THIS BAND and even though Collective Soul will NEVER get the credit that they deserve not only for the 90's time period but ALWAYS...I appreciate the talent, the lyrics and the desire to still bring out incredible rock music even after all this time. ALL HAIL TO THE SOUL MACHINE!!!

@deltatango5765 Год назад

I'm 66 years old and I love grunge! To me it's the closest thing to 60's and 70's rock that I grew up with, but more evolved. Collective Soul in my opinion, is very underrated. I love everything they did. Something about their sound that I just can't resist.

@richardyoung9360 Год назад

When they did a small club tour in '05 (I think that was the year) I tried to get tickets for the Halifax show and missed out. The day of the show I stopped at the record store and Big Mike was working. I said, "Guess you didn't get tickets either". He said No, but that one of the guys at Radio Shack had tickets he wasn't using. I ran down, he gave me the VIP PASSES, and my wife and I hopped in the car to speed 2hrs into the city. Just made it. When we met the band, they were awesome. We were getting pictures, and Ed stood behind me, put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Guess you don't have to duck..." WOW. (I'm 5'2). Free show AND a burn by Ed. That's one of my life stories I like to share. Thanks Ed!

Being in a band in the late 80’s early 90’s writing music was some of the best times of my life. There are tons of great music that is written by musicians in towns and basements that never got the backing or platform to be heard by the masses and that’s ok, the people who wrote and played it got to experience it’s magic and know how good it was.

Took a few years more of really spiraling to get to the point where I knew there was more to life than me..

But then, I saw Collective Soul open for Van Halen on the Balance Tour, and I was blown away. I got to see them multiple times during the 90's, and this band was much more ferocious live than on record. They even regularly played Ozzy's "Crazy Train" during live sets and would nail it.

My favorite Collective Soul song is “Needs”. Their Dosage album is fantastic from beginning to end and I would live to see a video that analyzes it. Ed’s songs have always been fantastic companions of mine as I travel and find myself with extra time to think because he does such a wonderful job of asking questions without having to force a way of thinking on the listener, everything is open to interpretation and that is how art should be.

Collective Soul has so many hits in the part of the world I was living in. They got more radio time than Nirvana or Pearl Jam. They were huge. I saw them in a Casino and couldn't believe they weren't still playing arenas - so many great songs. It's weird how they aren't revered like Sound Garden or Alice in Chains. They certainly had the material.

They got tons of radio airplay on rock radio.

When I returned to Wichita in 1995, I learned that Collective Soul was going to perform at the KICT, "T-95's" Birthday Bash for free. They chose to be that year's headline act totally gratis since they had to cancel being the opening act for the radio station's Bash the year before. What a class act! The concert was free, I was right up front, met two awesome ladies and had one hell of a great time at no cost. In the top three for best concerts I've ever attended. Now I think I need to peace out and get me a dose of Collective Soul... Best to you-

I've kinda stumbled onto Collective Soul the past few years. I am guilty of dismissing them as a failed, late grunge band. But I have been impressed with the volume of good music they actually have stockpiled -- almost all of them titles I had never heard before. There is a concert Ed Roland did with a youth orchestra where he brings down a bass player and they do this slow song and it is awesome! As I looked into them, I found Ed is extremely religious and very preachy, to the point where almost every interview is dominated by it. I enjoy CS music, but can see why they never made it ultra big...basically because Ed seems very difficult to work with and be around. He is very petty, like when he interrupts Adam to clarify HE was the ONLY one to write, produce that song...shame.

@TheOlesarge Год назад

"He is very petty, like when he interrupts Adam to clarify HE was the ONLY one to write, produce that song...shame." Well, he was the principal songwriter and singer, and petty? Let's see if your guitar player slept with your wife, I think you may be a little petty, too. That whole thing with Ross Childress and Ed's wife totally almost ended the band.

@markshaw510 Год назад

Ross ruined Ed's family and the band's momentum. It took Collective Soul 3-4 years to recover. The band's first drummer, Shane, had to be fired for his hard drug use and when he eventually sobered up, he admitted the band had good reason to fire him.

In the early 2000's I lived in Savannah, GA. They played a show down by the river one night. Well, it started raining during their set. Then the wind picked up & the rain started really coming down. Some folks ran on the stage and said something to the band. After that song, he comes to the mic and says that they were told they have to stop the concert. Then he says "but we're not going anywhere until we play the song you came to hear!" Then they played Shine. By then it was a full on rain storm. Just pouring down and they were up on stage getting soaked, but they rocked that song. Great experience, wonderful memory.
