Saw these guys in a bizarre concert in Columbus in about 2003.. it was Sponge, 7 Mary 3, Spin Doctors, and Gin Blossoms in a fenced in parking lot, all for $15.. I would have paid $15 to see each of these bands individually.. and all were great
I thought Rock Crown was a fantastic album. I love 7M3 - their music changed (maybe mellowed) a little bit from where they started out. Up to them as to what music they make, I guess.
The thing that I like about this song is his voice. Also, the bass part destroys my shit. And additionally, I think it's just a very well-written song, and the guitar parts are outstanding.
Seven Mary Three really did have that post grunge Stone Temple Pilots / Pearl Jam sound , kind of :) they rocked back in the 1990s , the music had real substance and meaning

I disagree. He tries too hard in the second half of the song by singing the higher harmony parts, leaving the other guitarist to just sing the lead vocal harmony from the record but in a softer tone. Additionally, the other guitarist is also playing a tighter rhythm version of everything the singer is playing to make him sound good. Basically the singer is not being genuine, he's actually being a bit of a controlling narcissist here.
i'm the biggest powerlifting, veteran from the hood you ever met. during this time i could deadlift 800lbs for reps. I never got a workout like this in rochester,ny catching all these crowd surfers for 45ms. never knew who 7mary3 was before that. great band, great crowd, great energy... great night. It was a singular experience
That twangy sound your hearing in this song, is the delightful signature sound of that Tele that Jason Ross is playing. Not many people would pull off a song like this on a Telecaster (which is typically used for twangy country tones).
I hear more distortion than twang. I think you are listening with your eyes cause he's playimg a Tele...there is nothing twangy about a distorted Tele sound my friend...
I love this song, this is an amazing performance. I was 8 years at that time, aww the good days, you can hardly find a band these days that are as good as the bands in the 80's and 90's.
first song i ever learned on a guitar, never had a lesson even to this day never a lesson and this is the only song that i've learned that i never forget :) it's just drilled in my brain great rock band and badass heavy song \m/
This gritty, badass rock anthem deserves more playing time on rock stations. This is the first time I see the band performing it live and they look exactly like I imagined. The singer’s eyes are like fire, wild and barely restrained, his voice rough like gravel and when he says “cumbersome” you can feel the dark heaviness behind the lyrics. Great performance worthy of this great song.
The only thing that I think the studio version (aka the major label version) trumps most live performances of this song is the harmony backing vocal on the "I have becoooommme..." line. Sounds so succinct in the album version.
I remember seeing this band in panama city beach at the beach club la vela, To this day it is one of the best shows I have seen! They were, at the time, too big to play there but honored their agreement to play as it was booked before they got big. In my opinion the best rock album from a 90's band.(Amerian Standard)
This was the best live band I have ever seen. Saw Metallica and other greats they were the best no joke they were just as good live if not better than their CD.
I love this old footage of 7M3. I saw them back when this song just came out at Club La Vela on Panama City Beach Fl, They fuckin' ROCKED!!! The best show I saw there, for sure!!!
A song that came out way before it should have music like this nowadays is a dime a dozen and is very hard to find.. this is why i am into my 70s-2009 music.. mainly rock (basically anything MINUS POP COUNTRY cause pop country sucks ass and is remanufactured music) I sing this song at least twice a week in the karaoke circuit all over OKC
Yeah, Cumbersome is off of their second album. They have six other albums.They may have "fallen off the face of the earth", but I still listen to em on a semi-regular basis.
they got their band name from Jon baker he and Ponch were partners in a cop tv show called CHiPs and his call sign was seven Mary three and Ponch’s call sign was seven Mary four! the best show ever! to this day the only show I will watch. Not to mention they are still friends still to this day! Partners for life!!!!!!!!
Sitting in Rehab at the veterans hospital jamming out to this Jan 2024
I hope you get better Jason. You can do this!!
Keep up the hard work!
The VA has rehab?
Thank you for your service Sir. We have all felt cumbersome at times. My divorce anthem... Best to you .
Know that you are loved...respected...and appreciated for your service...
Song still rocks in 2023. Timeless classic
Hardly a classic song
Back when bands sounded the same live as they did in the studio.
Truth
They still do but thats because nowdays they play a recording live too😂😂
The best band EVER for that is Rush,
but Seven Mary Three shows some respectable talent here in that regard.
Stone Temple Pilots sounded BETTER than their albums live all the way through the Shangri-la-De-Da tour.
Agree, miss it so much. Seen alot of live performances from many great artist!
One of the best rock singles of the mid 90s, by far.
Gotta respect a singer who can rip hard on a guitar and still sing with power and emotion.
you mean power chords?
@@ProfessorShyguy he's not even playing most of the time, the other guy is literally there to make him sound good.
Dude is literally just doing one down stroke for each chord.
😂 you said rip hard. Huh-huh-huh
This is one of those rare song that the lyrics and sound will always be a fresh sound. Amazing this song is 18 years old!
27 years old now! Crazy isn't it
@@DaveE1997 FAK! My comment is 9 years old...LOL
@@DaveE1997 actually you're both wrong. This song came out in 94, but they'd been performing it as early as 93. For all we know it's about to turn 30.
@@BigSmoke-bu6ib the bitter taste is cumbersome
song still kicking ass in 2023. Lyrics are true art

how are these guys not bigger....this is real music
This album was great all the way through and they followed it up with nothing. That's why
Not yet..always hoping for another from them though
Hey, Marc, cool name =)
jeff mceachern I always thought so
I thought Rock Crown was a fantastic album.
I love 7M3 - their music changed (maybe mellowed) a little bit from where they started out.
Up to them as to what music they make, I guess.
Still gives me chills all these years later...epic.

"She wanted me less and Im wanting her more." That'd be it right there
Where every song on the radio reminds you of her.
He's singing some cosmic truth right there. ❤
This was back when awesome bands played on late night shows
Some of the best camera work I've seen on a live TV performance.. the guys are so in sync with their guitars at @1:32
Miss bands like these from the 90s hard to find good music like this today I'm stuck in the 90s till I leave the Earth
young boy with talent Greta Van Fleet is more of a Rush/ Zeppelin sounding band but after I saw them I fell in love mate!
I was going through a breakup right about the time this song was on the radio regularly. It did kind of help in a bittersweet way.
one of my favorite 90s songs!! i love the complete album!!! greetings from Mexico!!
Classic 90’s vibe. Love this video.
sometimes I watch this 20 times a week I have a connection with this dude
Janice Waldron huh? Why?
Janice Waldron Weird
Janice Waldron Did you have his baby or something?
Seven Mary Three really did have that post grunge Stone Temple Pilots / Pearl Jam sound , kind of :) they rocked back in the 1990s , the music had real substance and meaning
Check out Days of the New, I remember someone in the comments of one of their songs putting it this way: they're the grunge movement altogether.
@@Safetysweet I agree!!! Days of the new is an awesome band too !!!
@@Safetysweet they were so good! Too bad their lead singer fell to Meth.
These guys shit all over PJ imo.

Badass song. I liked it the first time I heard it.
oh man i'm reminiscing good memories of the 90's music.......
Wow! the lead singer is very genuine. Great song.

What an amazing performance, heaps of energy!
Back in 1997 I was in the USMC stationed in Okinawa Japan. Me and a fellow Marine used to play guitars and jam out to this song!
Banana show... Semper civilian
Love this song, had the CD when it came out. Been a hot minute since seeing these guys, I had no idea Dawson Leary was the lead singer!
Growing up listening to the best music... priceless!!!
i'm the biggest powerlifting, veteran from the hood you ever met. during this time i could deadlift 800lbs for reps.

That twangy sound your hearing in this song, is the delightful signature sound of that Tele that Jason Ross is playing. Not many people would pull off a song like this on a Telecaster (which is typically used for twangy country tones).
Some of the biggest rock musicians of all time used Telecasters lol what are you talking about?
I've seen Brad Whitford rip one up!
There are no rules in rock brother. Also if you set your amp correctly and or put different pickups in the guitar you can use a tele for anything.
A Telecaster is universally badass. It’s the play anything and everything guitar.
I hear more distortion than twang. I think you are listening with your eyes cause he's playimg a Tele...there is nothing twangy about a distorted Tele sound my friend...
Man. I was rocking on my dorm room listening to this on my ROCK FM radio in 1997. \m/ \m/
Cumbersome is the first rock song that got me into rock music. After that I never looked back! Im a Rawk and roller til I die!!
Loved this song...
Never gets old
Still rockin it in 2023
I was 14 when I saw this! I still love them! You do the math.....
Love it when bands sound awesome LIVE ... great tune!
I love this song, this is an amazing performance. I was 8 years at that time, aww the good days, you can hardly find a band these days that are as good as the bands in the 80's and 90's.
Damn girl you're thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. This porridge is juuuust right
As a former Orlando drummer and vocalist, I was around when this band was tearing up the town in Lake Mary, such an awesome squad.
this band is for the top5 bands of the 90s great yeahhhhhh
first song i ever learned on a guitar, never had a lesson even to this day never a lesson and this is the only song that i've learned that i never forget :) it's just drilled in my brain great rock band and badass heavy song \m/
these guys rocked in the 90s & then WTF happened? It's like they disappeared! this song STILL kicks ass 16yrs later!
GREAT SONG !! Hands down
90s music needs to come back
One of my fav ever! great song Love the 90's always.....

The 90s the last great decade of rock music 🎵
I loved this song when it came out. I think I was a freshmen in highschool. Man I'm old.
God I miss this music
over 13 years ago..wow. Great performance here.
ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!
I love this song... I never realized how much the lead singer looks like Jason Segel haha... 90s music is still the best... amazing stuff
Oh the 90s were perfection.
Great video and song, love it!!! remember calling in requests at the radio station
Thanks for adding this video to UA-cam.
The only thing that I think the studio version (aka the major label version) trumps most live performances of this song is the harmony backing vocal on the "I have becoooommme..." line. Sounds so succinct in the album version.
That’s the good thing. You knew what you were getting. The cd music was the exact same as when they played live
What a great song! And they were so young for such lyrical content.
I miss 'em. Good old days.. 7M3
I watch this video about 10 or more times a day........ I love this song and this guy...........He looks much different now but I think I'm in love
2021 and still fuckin awesome

This was the best live band I have ever seen. Saw Metallica and other greats they were the best no joke they were just as good live if not better than their CD.

A song that came out way before it should have
music like this nowadays is a dime a dozen and is very hard to find..
this is why i am into my 70s-2009 music.. mainly rock (basically anything MINUS POP COUNTRY cause pop country sucks ass and is remanufactured music)
I sing this song at least twice a week in the karaoke circuit all over OKC
They sound great live.

Lord, I miss the 1990’s.
My go to at karaoke. Great song
One of those irresitible songs
