Sloan is a strong vocalist. He sounded a bit nervous in the beginning. Vocals a little shakey, but he really warmed up and finished strong! Great performance
Exactly, nerves probably. One of their strengths was the vocal harmonization. Really picked it up at 2:29 and on. Wish Ed and Les Hall would get together and tour again.
@@GabrielXDrumsshut up and accept the joke at face value, stop trying to think deep into a roast. anyway, he looks like the sort of guy to crash a highschool party to steal the liqour
he is doing so much work playing this song... the guitar parts are pretty tricky and this is not an easy song to sing either. look up a guitar cover of the song... and hes killing it. Ed is such a boss. 99% of people would have hired a guitarist to do this lol
I mean I love these guys to death and damn right about the vocals his singing is crazy but I’ve seen a lot of singers play much more difficult guitar parts while singing lol that riff is not hard tbh
Listen, man!. I live in Kazakhstan and I remember when my sister bought the same phone in 2005 and we found this track "Crossfade - Cold" in it and we thought it was an accident. Since then, I've always associated this song with that Sony Ericsson. And coincidentally, it's only today, December 29, 2024, 19 years later, that I find out that this track was embedded in that phone. 😁

The drummer, Brian, now plays for DM Radio. There was talk about a reunion show with the original members, but Ed was not able to commit. We locals here in Columbia SC are hoping to nudge them back on stage after this covid stuff stops. **** After 13 years away they will be back on May 10th, Sonic Temple, Columbus Ohio.
I literally had NO idea this band was from my native city till just now. I had no idea this song was probably made 15 miles away from my home when I was one. I’ve lived in Columbia my whole life and never knew. So cool!
My band beat them in a Battle of the Bands in Rock Hill SC about 2 years before they hit it big. I still have the flyer from that show. We all hung out afterwards. They were pretty chill.
Dr. FeelGooD Mobile Gaming They were bad ass and the way he can sing and play lead guitar is beyond awesome. Unfortunately they have broken up. He is singing Christian music after finding God and getting sober. Good for him though ❤️
so lucky i got to see this band so many times back in 04. tony's backing vocals and DJing was a HUGEEEE part of the sound, and you have to just love his harmonies here! so few bands sound good on live TV and this sounds just fantastic.
I commend all singers out there that can play guitar and sing at the same time and can make it sound so perfect.... 🙂👍 I swear to God, it is very difficult to do, at least for me.
One of my all time favs!! I just started listening again, I had forgotten about them, yeah, I just slapped myself. I get these lyrics so much better today. Cuz I am an addict too. This song hits hard now, gonna get the lyrics on a poster, hope my hubby reads it....cuz I never meant to be so cold, either. It goes with addiction....instead of Dear Cocaine, it's Dear Opiates...on harm reduction, forever...
This band was so damn good m. Ed Sloan is incredible talented and underrated. Every album they put out was incredibly genuine and original. The actual song architecture was so good. I wish they’d put out a new album.
I met these guys one time in bar after they played a show in my home town. Super nice and genuine guys. Hope they are doing well with whatever they are doing.
This song will always be iconic in my book. Came out at a unique time in between middle school and high school for me. Song had just the right amount of umph that every time you played it loud on a stereo system it was audio heaven. Most relatable lyrics of a lot of alt metal/alt rock songs too.. classic question of identity and am I making a difference, I think that’s why it’s stood the test of time.. and real musicianship too… none of the guys are out to fake flex to to steal the limelight from the other members.. Perry Farrell from Janes comes to mind. Nothing but guys rocking and enjoying what they do. As it should be.. unmotivated by greed, money or having to say “hey look at me I’m better than the rest of the band”. Stoked cross fades back. Can’t wait to see the comeback 🤘 🎉
Saw these guys at a little club in KC back in the day. They were the middle slot between Submersed and Alter Bridge. They sounded killer. This ‘04 or ‘05. Something like that. Pretty decent butt rock.
those guys had a case of the nerves at first but they killed it by the end. really great stuff, having two lead vocalists in a rockband is really awesome when it works as well as this.
Looking back at me, I see that I never really got it right I never stopped to think of you I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win You are the antidote that gets me by Somethin' strong, like a drug, that gets me high What I really meant to say Is I'm sorry for the way I am I never meant to be so cold Never meant to be so cold What I really meant to say Is I'm sorry for the way I am I never meant to be so cold Never meant to be so Cold to you, I'm sorry 'bout all the lies Maybe in a different light You can see me stand on my own again 'Cause now I can see You are the antidote that got me by Somethin' strong, like a drug, that got me high What I really meant to say Is I'm sorry for the way I am I never meant to be so cold Never meant to be so cold What I really meant to say Is I'm sorry for the way I am I never meant to be so cold Never meant to be so cold I never meant to be so cold I never really wanted you to see The screwed up side of me that I keep Locked inside of me so deep It always seems to get to me I never really wanted you to go So many things you should have known I guess for me there's just no hope I never meant to be so cold What I really meant to say Is I'm sorry for the way I am (is I'm sorry for the way) I never meant to be so cold (I am) Never meant to be so cold What I really meant to say Is I'm sorry for the way I am (is I'm sorry for the way) I never meant to be so cold (I am) Never meant to be so cold
These guys are the physical embodiment of the early 2000’s
i used to love this fucking band. lol my email was cfskater89
These guys are my favorite Post-grunge band
Yes, and better than so many from that era who got way more play than these guys.
never meant to be so cold what i really meant to say is iam sorry for the way iamnever meant to be so cold i guess for me theres just no hope
Tru That!!!!
Can’t believe it’s been 20 years
Really
@@leandrodarkness603 Same
yeah driving home after work on the local rock station radio
And now they have announced their comeback!!!!!
Sloan is a strong vocalist. He sounded a bit nervous in the beginning. Vocals a little shakey, but he really warmed up and finished strong! Great performance
Tru that. Awesome performance
Definitely flat in the first verse and chorus, but he put it together after that.
Did get better but I'm with you NERVES
Exactly, nerves probably. One of their strengths was the vocal harmonization. Really picked it up at 2:29 and on. Wish Ed and Les Hall would get together and tour again.
that’s why you should always warm your vocals up. it’s like trying to play a sport without stretching first
Paul Jr. really killin it on the backup vocals
🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘
I scrolled past and didnt get it.
I was about 3 posts down when it clicked.
lololololol this had me dying
Bro, I have always thought this!!
@@brianwill1090 In the actual song, the harmonies are so good on the backup vocals! That's honestly what made me look for the song.
The back up vocalist looks like the kind of guy that gets drunk at a Chuck E. Cheese and starts a fight.
Rofl 🤣 😂 🤣
No idea what that looks like, way to assume someone’s internal world.
@@GabrielXDrumsshut up and accept the joke at face value, stop trying to think deep into a roast.

@@wewya. lmao yes
😂😂😂😂Damn
The way he sings 'really' at 0:43. This dude is amazing.
Try singing it "reel-uhh-lee" you can do it too
@@Brett101792sounds a bit country
He made it into a three syllable word
Their voices together sound soooo good! Great band
Their Grungy Voices Sound soooo good!, Great Post-grunge band
he is doing so much work playing this song... the guitar parts are pretty tricky and this is not an easy song to sing either. look up a guitar cover of the song... and hes killing it.
Ed is such a boss. 99% of people would have hired a guitarist to do this lol
I mean I love these guys to death and damn right about the vocals his singing is crazy but I’ve seen a lot of singers play much more difficult guitar parts while singing lol that riff is not hard tbh
@@arthur38379 no one likes people like you
@@Joeyarmstrong99 you say that like you know me weirdo
They sounded great there and being a three piece at that .
@arthur marsden , please play that solo amd upload it on your channel , i wanna see how easily u can actually play that solo
Back up singer looks like he eats hot wings with beer for lunch everyday
He is from buffalo, so that makes sense.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
he's not ever overweight bro lol what mabe literally a few pounds he is not fat
probably rides a motorcycle everywhere as well.
He sounds like the lead singer of Franco (and I thought he was but then I realized that Franco is a Filipino band)
I always feel like this band is so underrated
Had a fire first album but that’s it
They truly are
@@bp4816 Really? I thought all 3 albums were solid.
They only had that one album honestly. I wont lie they sound like shit live haha.
I love how they compliment each other it doesn't feel like one's trying to out do the other
20 years and it still feels like yesterday when I first heard this song that came with my uncle’s Sony Ericsen Walkman phone
Listen, man!. I live in Kazakhstan and I remember when my sister bought the same phone in 2005 and we found this track "Crossfade - Cold" in it and we thought it was an accident. Since then, I've always associated this song with that Sony Ericsson.

Haha damn. Lit his ass up
the disrespect is unreal. THEY ALL HAVE NAMES
@@yuuyjaaj6721 I know. The comments are roasting them for being a product of their time even though they put out some solid songs.
This song video came with my PSP back in the day
Anyone else listen in 2024 this song?
0:58 I love the power when he says "say"
Vocals on point for a live performance , I miss the days when i heard these songs on the radio
"Never meant to beat stone cold"
WHAT!!??
Jeff Dubia 🤣
And that’s the bottom line
😂😂 I like that
stone cold 3:16 just whooped your ass

My dad rebuilt his house when it burned down. Brian gave my dad some pics from the early days of the band.
Crossfade reunion would be sick
I've wondered why there is so little social media from these guys.
I would of loved to see them live
I literally had NO idea this band was from my native city till just now. I had no idea this song was probably made 15 miles away from my home when I was one. I’ve lived in Columbia my whole life and never knew. So cool!
Damn, I wonder if they ever imagined when writing this song, there would be an 11 year old singing his heart out with this album in his Walkman
Damn this was too accurate 🥲
Walkman , dude I pods were out when this shot dropped
Doesn’t mean I had one lol
Old man
This song pops into my head all the time.
I totally didnt realized they had a Lead Back Up Vocalist
If I remember correctly he was primarily on turntables, they just didn’t use any for this song so all he got to do was backup vocals lmfao
@@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814and he absolutely killed it, his part is def my favorite part of this song
@@Floor74Music agreed hard as shit
People are saying he’s useless but band will never sound the same without him. Miss him a lot.
This whole album is A+ material
Tony Byroads is a legend.
Imperfections are way more beautiful then lip synced ❤️. The singer is so talented ❤️.
Facts!
13 14 yrs old are you serious it doesn't feel like that long I remember watching this the night it aired dam I'm feeling old
Now it's been almost 2 decades now. I was about 4 going on 5
The harmony is so good...been a favorite since 2000's!
This might be the most 2000s band ever, and I love it
My band beat them in a Battle of the Bands in Rock Hill SC about 2 years before they hit it big. I still have the flyer from that show. We all hung out afterwards. They were pretty chill.
2019 anybody still visit? I love this performance and all of their music. Still hoping Ed brings them back.
Hi bro,we´re always..they rock a this.I love them
Mauricio Prado lol. Yeah he’s found God and is clean it seems. Happy for him but we all need more of this music in our lives.
I can't believe i discover this tune so late
Dr. FeelGooD Mobile Gaming They were bad ass and the way he can sing and play lead guitar is beyond awesome. Unfortunately they have broken up. He is singing Christian music after finding God and getting sober. Good for him though ❤️
@@badflowerblossom228 how should I search him up on UA-cam???
That solo was sick
Love this band so much
“Here we go” ❤️ Tony
My Sony Ericsson w700 walkman has this song as ringtone since then im in love with this song.!
Killing backing vocals
I’m pretty sure this is the first time that I heard them perform this live in the original key.
It's not. Still lower than album
It's a half step down from the original key in this version.
Same here
im jamming this album on way to work this morning after all these years still great
It takes some serious talent to be not only the lead singer, but also the lead guitarist at the same time.
Love how they sing the last chorus. Wish it was higher in the mix on the album, but cool live nonetheless! Nostalgic overload = this song.
so lucky i got to see this band so many times back in 04. tony's backing vocals and DJing was a HUGEEEE part of the sound, and you have to just love his harmonies here! so few bands sound good on live TV and this sounds just fantastic.

2020 still loving this song...just revisited it after many years
One day I'll be old enough to tell people this song is a classic hidden gem.
I commend all singers out there that can play guitar and sing at the same time and can make it sound so perfect.... 🙂👍
I swear to God, it is very difficult to do, at least for me.
U have corey taylor with stone sour, ben Burnley, adam gontier, sully erna, nergal, singer from sick puppies and a lot more
@@aliskilletmanlol can’t believe you forgot james hetfield
@@xarch7208 i wasn't a Metallica fan at that time
This song is still a jam. BGV’s compliment the lead so nicely.

2:37 when dude does the locked in power arm I almost lost it 😂 these guys rock
O vocalista é pequeno só na altura mais na garganta o maluco arrebenta parabéns muito sucesso ao Crossfade 🤘🤘🤘🇧🇷.
Backup singer so fire 🔥🔥
Such a powerful debut song. Wow
Kudos to the film crew for showing Tony when he sang. Kimmel taping was frustrating.
I fucking love this song and it’s 2022
This band was so damn good m. Ed Sloan is incredible talented and underrated. Every album they put out was incredibly genuine and original. The actual song architecture was so good. I wish they’d put out a new album.
Fr and they could’ve at least said that they were done
Miss these guys
This was one of my favorite songs in college.
@ 2:35 he really hit that 😤
Hit what
@@badabearliftsBxav a middle finger maybe haha I doubt it...would've been epic, though :p
@@badabearliftsBxavhe hit the, uh… the umm, you know… the thing.

I Love this Song! 🔥🔥🔥🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Loved, loved, loved, loved them!!!! I remember jamming out to this album while in high school! What great memories 🥰

The drummers facial expressions look absolutely insane.
Back then when bands had that one member who just sang backup. And damn that guys voice sounds so pure on the cold recording
This is the only rock group I can think of with a backup singer who didn't play an instrument lol
I wish Tony would come back, his harmonies are missed
Crossfade world tour pls
Amazing!!
this was 3 days before i was born
I love this band ❤
I just love this song
This track was amazing. In touch with lead singer about doing mashups/remixes to!
Thank you great performance
Come back is on!!!
vuelvan y saquen un nuevo disco¡¡ son los mejores
2022. Still amazing.
I remember playing MX vs ATV unleashed on Xbox when I was really young and heard this song for the first time… truly a gem
I remember listening to this on windows media player radio stations
top ... listening in 2020 - november... ist very cooll..
Better than anything being made 20 years later.
Greatest song ever
If you play music, that "here we go" before the interlude hits different
They are so good live god damn
Yesssssssss!!!
God damn amazing vocal performance man
Back when bands didn't lip sync on live TV
those guys had a case of the nerves at first but they killed it by the end. really great stuff, having two lead vocalists in a rockband is really awesome when it works as well as this.
DAMN he has A SICK ASS VOICE!!!
❤❤❤❤Great song, Great performance. One of my favs!
Forever ago... seems like only yesterday. I was in the 7th grade when this aired, wearing slipknot, korn and Marilyn Manson tees lol.
just magical wish they'd reunite
Looking back at me, I see that I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Somethin' strong, like a drug, that gets me high
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so
Cold to you, I'm sorry 'bout all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You can see me stand on my own again
'Cause now I can see
You are the antidote that got me by
Somethin' strong, like a drug, that got me high
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
I never meant to be so cold
I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am (is I'm sorry for the way)
I never meant to be so cold (I am)
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am (is I'm sorry for the way)
I never meant to be so cold (I am)
Never meant to be so cold
I remember seeing these guys as an opener in Lake Tahoe in the Early 2000's. They were booed off stage before they could even play this song.
"Here we go" and then Tony left the band.
2:29
Porque la dejo?
They need to continue they really good band
Best song ever 💙💙💙💙
