collective soul is a band who has the coolest guitar riff youll ever hear,i mean the song like heavy,where the river flows,trembel for my beloved,simple,listen,precious declaration and many others..brilliant guitarist..thats what separate them from other alternative bands...
I would dare to say this is the best live version I have ever listened to if compares with the studio version. And it's not that the studio's is bad, the live one just rocks!!
I agree. I've been disappointed how Ed mostly sticks to singing of recent. Yes, there are some songs where he's on guitar, but it's always an acoustic, often a 12-string. I miss him being the third electric guitar in the line-up.
I was born in 1999, in between these two videos (February and September). Wish I was old enough to even know who the hell Collective Soul was, but I'm happy I discovered them in 2019. Took long enough. I get to see them live next month 3 times (all front row!) which is all I can think about now. A legendary band from the beginning to now.
OMG I'm glad you found them!!! My dad had me listening at an early age. completely went through a phase in my life where I was just listening to hip-hop/rap for a couple years... dug through some old boxes and found Collective Soul's first album (the same CD my dad and I would listen to). Popped it in the car and heard songs I haven't listened to in nearly 8-9 years... It was GREAT!
This is my favorite CS video. To hear and see such brilliance is absolutely priceless. Ross has got to be one of the most talented guitarists around. Show me somebody else who can do what he does. He never misses a chord whether he's playing acoustic or electric. Every single one of CS's songs from their first five albums sounds that much better because of him. What a terrible lost when he left the band...
@@photonotavailable7936 is that true? Do you know any of the details? I never heard anything as to why he left, but with how sudden it was, and how quiet the band seemed to be about it, I always felt it was something like that.
@@tolliver15 well that was rather telling. Thanks for sharing. I don't know if it came leading up to their blow up, or a result of it, but I don't like the way Ed has changed since the early 2000s, and the band lost a lot of character with Ross exiting, and then Shane shortly after. Personal issues aside, they were such a great team in the 90s. It's a real shame they couldn't keep it together.
Ross is without a doubt one of the most progressive guitarists to emerge from the 90s, along with Mark Tremonti from Creed. C.S. will never be the same without Ross. Such a shame of what happened 😢
Fuck Ross!!!!! He’s a bitch!!!!! Ed wrote all the songs,Ed wrote shine. Ross is an overrated back stabbing bitch who would be unknown without Ed and has done shit all on his own!!!!
Wish they all get back together like the 90’s. I think it’s what? Just edd, will and dean left? I miss some Ross childless solos and riffs, and Shane evans drums
Collective Soul has been my favorite band since 1995 when their self titled album came out and it has been in my car ever since. With Ross their music was sooooooo much better. Without Ross, they haven't been the same. I still enjoy some of their post Ross music but I think about what might have been had things transpired differently.
I totally agree with you! They've been my favorite since about the same time. Their music started going downhill when they went indi and got rid of Ross. The 90s definitley were their glory years, and Dosage was by far their highest quality stuff.
Same here bro. I'm 28 and I grew up to them. 95 album played in our home and family van whole time growing up lol. Giving me chills to those riffs as a lil boy lol
Agreed, Collective Soul hasn't been the same since the departure of Ross. Still believe that the intro for Simple is the best Collective Soul intro ever!

It was amazing seeing a video of my elegant vampire telling lots of "yous" "no, you didn't choose her, they chose her" showing a picture of other versions of "you"
Both hosts roll their eyes everytime they announce the band. When I broke both their necks it was for a different reason... And don't worry both hosts are aliens too, and just shapeshifts back to normal
Ross Childress is just from another planet. Every CS live video I've watched, he always stole the show, went crazy with the guitar nobody else could do. The shows after he left, including concerts I've ever watched, were more balanced with Ed Roland as dominant figure. Even Eddie VH wasn't really like this in Van Halen shows, Ross guitar just couldn't stop.
I just know it, if I was using the ebow at the same time, as in "Tremble for My Beloved," I would probably send the darn pick flying as soon as I released the ebow. :) I don't reckon we'll ever see that happening with that Childress dude.
He banged eds wife at the time so I'm pretty sure they will never talk again, oddly enough the same thing that happened to ed happened to me, my bestfriend and best man banged my wife
lololol, so weird to see people use an e-bow. Nice to see Ross in his prime though. They just weren't the same after he got booted from the band. I wonder what Kevin (Eubanks) was thinking too seeing Ross going all crazy, lol. Kevin is a jazz dude who plays with his thumb and fingers instead of a pick.
Maybe Ross shouldn't of slept with Ed's wife. It's a lose-lose in the end. Sad. But I do like some of CS's stuff after his departure. Just Youth, really.
Aiden tries to do his hair like this now, because if I can't see to clearly while you're invisible, I'll just never know Your drummer has been emotional lately... No I don't see him
Such an underrated band. Best band of the 90s. Those riffs
90s band?
They're even stronger now..more than ever..
I attended over 15 shows..and each one is better than the last..they hvnt missed a beat
They did the duo guitar better then most. Ross gets all the credit but what about Joel
@@joshv5376: I Believe Joel is Just as Good as Ross,Check out the Videos of the Band Playing W/ Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra,W/ Joel as Lead on the black guitar,Can Pick those Strings.
Agree. Amazing band!
The blue should have won a grammy. Still holds up
Not just a 90s band, folks. They are still putting out great, new music.
Love this song. Love this Band. I,m still rocking at 66yrs old . 👍 Awesome
This is What Rock sounds like!!

Why Pt 2: simplest solo ever, yet so solid.
yeah, About that self-title album, every song is nice. The tunes mentioned here?...The Riff's? Man! These Dude's are Something Else.
Better than the original if you ask me. These guys are still putting out new music and putting on great shows.
Ross is killing it with his PRS guitar!
I would dare to say this is the best live version I have ever listened to if compares with the studio version. And it's not that the studio's is bad, the live one just rocks!!
Yep
That Jay Leno performance is one of the best.
Now that is a face melting lead solo!!!
I like how all the guitars are used in this version back in the day!
I agree. I've been disappointed how Ed mostly sticks to singing of recent. Yes, there are some songs where he's on guitar, but it's always an acoustic, often a 12-string. I miss him being the third electric guitar in the line-up.
Have blessed day+21121
Been combing YT for live versions of Heavy.. This and the Woodstock 99 are the best IMHO. Ross Childress just slays it!
Man! That "Heavy" is one of the best CS performances I've ever seen on video. Ross is so in the zone on both of those songs.

Wow..from the beginning till the end...ross childress is the man..🎸🍻
I discovered them this year and cannot stop playing them (was born 1990 😅)
Ross is a beast in the guitar! I recently saw Collection Soul in concert with their new guitarist, no way near the face melting only Ross can do...
couldn't agree more
I really wish it didn't end the way it did.
Collection Soul? Never heard of them.
That's because Ross Childress was actually Kurt Cobain before he disappeared off the map.
No band is ever as good as the key members

God I love will Turpin's backup vocals
If Collective Soul was a building, so Ed Roland is the designer and Ross Childress is the painter. Ed built it and Ross made it beautiful.
Big check
Too bad about the situation that happened between them.
November especially since Ross and Ed’s ex aren’t even together anymore. What a waste.
Ross Childress, an amazingly talented guitarist!
I'm going to pretend that made a nanogram of sense 😞. Next time just say they're good and you might just get a few more likes on your comment 😉

ROSS amazing finger tips
only ROSS can do that riff !!!
23 years later Collective Soul still rocks! Their new single All Our Pieces is good!
One of the best bands in the 90's. I loved the album after Dosage.
Man! Ain't they something?! Tremendous Talent, Riffs that can just blow you away.
Love it 👍
Owwwww Ross!!! Go baby go!!!!!!
Nice....We need real music like his again!
TAKE ME BACK TO 1999!!!
The guitar sound is huge.
The guitarist is perfect
Best rock band
ROSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Fuck Ross!!!!! He’s a bitch!!!!! Ed wrote all the songs,Ed wrote shine. Ross is an overrated back stabbing bitch who would be unknown without Ed and has done shit all on his own!!!!
one of the most unique sounding band
Ross is in some kind of zone during Tremble. Incredible playing.
Insanely good, I can listen to these solo from childress..mad talent……
ross :)
I miss Ross Childress playing with Collective Soul. Wish they'd do a get together album one day or something cool.
That will never happen since Ross stole Ed's 1st wife
@@ladyboomer1765 didn't seem to bother George or Eric
Ed's Great Singer & Band Leader but when it comes up time to divide the Rewards of Concerts,Heard Family Comes first & Everyone Else gets Scraps.
Wish they all get back together like the 90’s. I think it’s what? Just edd, will and dean left? I miss some Ross childless solos and riffs, and Shane evans drums
No autotune, no editing, no ProTools copy/paste, just live real musicianship and songwriting kicking ass. We need a shit ton more of that again.

Great band with great music!
Our band is gonna cover this! were learning it now. Can’t wait!!

dang I didn't know these guys were so jammin'
NICE POST, THANKS!
Ross Childress!!!!
Notorius up m8 Thnks a lot!
CS ROCKS!! CHEERS! :)
Just gimmee gimmmeeeeeeee i love you boys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
[X] Bucket List : Finally got to see these guys last week at Humphrey's By The Bay in San Diego.
thanks.
looks like he dropped it some point along the line. lol he had one in the start of the song. i never noticed until i ready your comment
this was the "bored" episode. rip norm.
The sickest riff Ed ever wrote and the sickest solo Ross ever played
ross childressssssss
Freaking killer 🎉
No one else has ever man handled a guitar quite like Ross Childress.
You're right. Good observation. That's way cool!
Love that snare sound
Wow, im in love❤
Forgot about this band, saw them at EdgeFest in 99
kam w in Canada? I know they played Edgefest in 1997, but I don’t think they were there in 99.
This band without Ross Childress was no longer the same. The blonde guitarist was the one who gave the characteristic sound of this band.
Good Stuff
Both hosts roll their eyes everytime they announce the band.
When I broke both their necks it was for a different reason... And don't worry both hosts are aliens too, and just shapeshifts back to normal
And at 2.42.
ross on fire
Shane's rubber ducky :)
Almost done
More presentations at tv spots.
Its like hes sneaking closer to the drumset😂
It looks like Ross played the entire song Heavy without a pick. You can really notice from 2:30 on.
Yo creo que se le cayó cuando comenzó a hacer el solo. También se puede escuchar la diferencia en el último coro.
your right
Still playing at a venue near you
Still like the acustic version best. Morocco! 🤘
Oh got it .!sonRoss is a guitarist
Ross Childress is just from another planet. Every CS live video I've watched, he always stole the show, went crazy with the guitar nobody else could do.

Ross marry me!!
No one has ever seen Ross like this before..
You are seriously, officially okay with grandpa Ed, now???
I can't handle Ross anymore
I'm sorry Joel...But, Damn! Ross is the SHIT!!!
This line up is the greatest its sad ross is lone gone in this band and i guess will never come back due to personal conflicts CS still my favorite
I miss Ross Childers. His riffs was bad azz. Their replacement for Ross. Is not near as good.
childress rules!!!
without guitar pick on HEAVY
Yeah but he quit. Listen to some of their songs from this year....Yuck! Started liking this band when "Dosage" cd came out.
I wonder if the band realizes how missed Ross is.
He banged eds wife at the time so I'm pretty sure they will never talk again, oddly enough the same thing that happened to ed happened to me, my bestfriend and best man banged my wife
@@Questiontheunquestionable The difference is that Ed cheated on his wife many times before she cheated on him. That's what I heard anyway.
@@kane703 for sure....and most of the tine is pure sex, no more...but that when it comes from a friend of you....damn!
Mike Sankey Did you kick his ass?
Then feed my big fat belly Ed
Personally, I like Dean on lead over Jesse, in the current lineup.
lololol, so weird to see people use an e-bow. Nice to see Ross in his prime though. They just weren't the same after he got booted from the band. I wonder what Kevin (Eubanks) was thinking too seeing Ross going all crazy, lol. Kevin is a jazz dude who plays with his thumb and fingers instead of a pick.
I miss Ross Childress so much I only own the first five albums.
Ross Childress was the best. CS was a great band, but without RC's guitar genius they were just average.
THANK YOU
Maybe Ross shouldn't of slept with Ed's wife. It's a lose-lose in the end. Sad. But I do like some of CS's stuff after his departure. Just Youth, really.
Yes. Who can argue with that? Don't screw another man's wife. For me--minus RC--CS is just a garage band. Sad but true.
Sara Greer interesting. Does Ross ever speak of his time in CS?
Ed always wrote all the songs until recently. He is a genius and makes them who they are. Tons of good guitar players as good as Ross out there.
Aiden tries to do his hair like this now, because if I can't see to clearly while you're invisible, I'll just never know
Your drummer has been emotional lately... No I don't see him
FLAWLESSLY EXECUTED
He looks better with beard.
I'd like to dedicate this fine tune to my ex and her haagen daz addiction. Not that i did not enjoy that extra junk.
sin lugar a dudas los riffs de ross son increibles,. y la banda esta ociosa de eso
