@donaldbell778 I can't remember the name of the youtube video, but Stephen was discussing exactly that with a radio talk show host. It sounds promising!
I remember when this song first came out. it was freaking awesome back then, and still freaking awesome today! very under rated band and they are even from my neck of the woods where i grew up. from Ann Arbor and i grew up in Flint like 35 minutes away.
I've been a fan of Taproot for almost 10 years now. It makes me sad that they are so underrated. Whenever I mention to friends that they are one of my favorite bands, I always get trashed on. But, fuck it. I love 'em. They deserve so much more credit for the huge amount of talent they have.
Ha! I forgot I made this comment. Still a huge fan, though. Been loving Taproot around 20 years now. They will always be one of my top favorite bands - I was listening to Blue-Sky Research just yesterday! Still so damn underrated!
@@jordandyal4129 of course! I will admit they got a bit overplayed on the radio back in the day, so I got tired of them... And I know a lot of people got pissy because they "sold out" after S.C.I.E.N.C.E, but screw that. Their popular songs were good too. I think my fav album was Light Grenades (though Morning View is a close 2nd)
i swear I'm linked to this band on some deeper level cause every time i am going through troubling times in my life their music helps me find peace and understanding. Truly a fantastic talented group that has been one of my all time faves and continues to be
Yes- we indeed need a come back for sure for sure. I follow the singer on Instagram and he still does music but haven’t heard anything from Taproot in years 🤷🏻♂️
How can this have only 300k views? Taproot is SO much better than that. God I miss these guys so much. What’s extra depressing is how they were still writing and producing amazing material right up until their split.
I am 52 years old, and i was raised as a child in the 70's. You know the old cliche, we had no cable , no computers ( personal ones anyway....ones that were avail sucked), no Ticketmaster..u had to go to venue or central ticket office. Anyway, my first musical love was Jonny Cash, then Elton John & Beatles, then Kiss n Led Zep, which evolved into a little SexPistols & a li'l punk, to Judas Priest & metal...dont laugh , but i even went to an outside amphitheater and saw Cinderella's Long Cold Winter" tour ( u can scoff , but the frontman is a seriously talented musician).Seriously, don't laugh... The sound was on ...whoever mixed...A+++. I got into AlLICE IN CHAINS AND PEARL JAM heavy in the 90's....man when Layne od'd ... I lost a hero of rock music . i now listen to Mudvayne, Breaking Benjamin, Slipknot, Killswitch Engage. I have just now discovered Taproot, Darwin's Waiting Room(alice n chains had a kid with HED pe and DWR came out),NOTHONGFACE KICKS ASS ( perfect blend of punk n metal)TOO BAD ANOTHER GREAT SINGER OD'ING. Taproot are obvious fans of " tne chains" Love ' em. Well, sorry so long winded. I was just trying to say being progressive and evolving your musical taste is always a good thing, as it is in all facets of life...being OPENMINDED !!! I also wanted to show that all of us old skool fucks aren't wearing tank tops driving Camaros with Van Halen jamming some chiche song about women's breasts. Well, peace out and until Stormy loves the ' Donald " again or G-Eazy quits choppin a dutch , i will rock my life.
I'm happy they branched out rather than making "Gift" ten times over. I remember "Blue Sky" being my favourite album. I couldn't care less what anyone says, I will happily play this alongside my Immortal/Carcass CDs.
I feel yea, ALOT of musics from this era I love. Not just taproot. However I still love shit like carcass, watain, and more extreme metal as well. SO few people, can enjoy multiple types of music.
He clearly stated early and mid 2000s. I totally agree man in 2004 i was a freshmen, seems the best times were then. Unfortunately 9/11 changed everything...
I loved then since like 6-7 years ago when i found them on wikipedia nu metal bands , I just don't get how is it they dont have 900,000,000 views ? Sooo fucking underrated !!!!!!

@police-and-military-are-welfare-whores tidying up, I found a 'metal hammer' compilation CD, put it on and spent the rest of the evening youtubeing all my fave bands and many more who just came to mind....not all were winners I'll admit, but overall an evening in lockdown with a stupid nostalgic grin on my face... sooo worth it. Might I ask what 5 bands of their era you suggest I look up? (note if I should go to current or past work in particular) thanks for the nod, returning to this vid reminded me to look up 'angel with a pint glass' another winner!
Yeah, they just released a song they made with Layne Staley just before he died with no lyrics an instrumental one “Kevin Spacey “ haunting cause Layne had it playing while he passed away.
Megan, I feel you. I pla.y drums and I'm more into the metal scene but when I write music this is the shit that I absolutely fucking love. Great melodies on top of heavy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite. You have good taste
How the fuck does this only have 4k views? Taproot is so fucking dope. People nowadays are too busy listening to bullshit like the black keys. fuck that shit.
I know taproot must be under pressure to sell to a new crowd, break the mainstream etc. They've shown this with a lot of their....how to say.....rubbish new songs. However, it's nice to see taproots older style is still lurking in there somewhere. First two albums are still upon my favourites of all time, rocky road since then
JooxBox I agree too they are demanded to put out a certain sound now it's how it works a lot of the time but this one is one of the only ones that has the old sound still.
Damn, this group couldn't be more cookie cutter. On another note, this sound/style was pretty much all late 90's rock lol. Serious though, watching this was like a trip back to '98.
Such fond memories of Taproot, an amazing band, truly one of the greats!!

Megan Williams I remember listening to them on fuse when they first came out and loved them. What the hell we're those first albums called?
Megan. Your friends didn't have a good taste in music 😂
Ha! I forgot I made this comment. Still a huge fan, though. Been loving Taproot around 20 years now. They will always be one of my top favorite bands - I was listening to Blue-Sky Research just yesterday! Still so damn underrated!
@@mmkorn22 Have you ever listened to Incubus?

I will never understand how Taproot weren’t much bigger.
Taproot and 36 Crazyfists defined a time in my life.
OMG you love my 2 favorite bands at that !
@@bennytanner1962 And still loving them 3 years on... :)
Thanks for reminding me to listen to some 36 Crazyfists
Glad to be of service - 36CF is GREAT..!

Taproot sure needs to make a comeback
If enough people buy the bsides cd we will get a new record.
Yup indeed
I only known them for maybe a month and I want more
Agreed in 2021
Yes- we indeed need a come back for sure for sure. I follow the singer on Instagram and he still does music but haven’t heard anything from Taproot in years 🤷🏻♂️
Happy 10 years to “Plead the Fifth”!!
best live shows ever! Lead singer got on the balcony and jumped into the crowd. Proper mental

My favorite Taproot song. I love how they decided to return to their old heavier sound in Plead The Fifth. I love the heavier Taproot. (:

nice
This is such a badass song and even more badass band hope they make another album
Fuck I miss this era in time. People, cars, music. The 90s have nothing on the early and mid 2000s.
This song is from 2010 tho
Eichro Taproot began in my mentioned time frame.
No it was uploaded in 2010, it's an early 2000s song
No. It's a 2010 song. It was uploaded in 2011. The song is off their 2010 album Plead the Fifth.
He clearly stated early and mid 2000s. I totally agree man in 2004 i was a freshmen, seems the best times were then. Unfortunately 9/11 changed everything...
Love Taproot and this is my favorite song of theirs. Great song by totally underrated band.
This is one of my favorite taproot songs
I love the heaviness of this song
I like how they just get up and start jammin', I'm totally going to do that one day
I loved then since like 6-7 years ago when i found them on wikipedia nu metal bands , I just don't get how is it they dont have 900,000,000 views ? Sooo fucking underrated !!!!!!
Fucking amazing band, ive been listening to them for years!

I love the fact that they are from MI and yet he is wearing a Chicago Blackhawks tshirt : )

like this
Playing with them Oct 13 at house of rock on Pulaski hwy in Essex MD so stoked Survival of the Sickest
arcadeattic how did that show go?
totally agree
❤
It's obvious that Alice in Chains is one of this band's primary influences.
Buzkilltheman nope
Yeah, they just released a song they made with Layne Staley just before he died with no lyrics an instrumental one “Kevin Spacey “ haunting cause Layne had it playing while he passed away.
Ya all need to make some noise been to long.
Esta canción sería perfecta para un videojuego de carreras basado en choques que yo quisiera diseñar.
Please make a comeback
now his goatee is balck, he looks like mike shinoda from a far ;)
Megan, I feel you. I pla.y drums and I'm more into the metal scene but when I write music this is the shit that I absolutely fucking love. Great melodies on top of heavy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite. You have good taste
Forgiven
👍👍
BRAZIL !!!
whyeeyeeyeeeye
Reeeeeeleeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
@Kryptor360 whaaayyy aayy aayyy aayyy aaay :)
I hope that guy in the first story finds the courage not to jump off that building.
fucking amazing song, great band seen them live they were awesome, the deserve more credit than they get
AWESOME
Look at all those dislikes. Oh wait, there are no dislikes. Exactly.
How the fuck does this only have 4k views? Taproot is so fucking dope. People nowadays are too busy listening to bullshit like the black keys. fuck that shit.

First two albums are still upon my favourites of all time, rocky road since then
I can totally agree. Your comment is three years old but your idea is forever.
JooxBox I agree too they are demanded to put out a certain sound now it's how it works a lot of the time but this one is one of the only ones that has the old sound still.
Or maybe they just had emotions they wanted to release that were different over age? Plead the fifth was a good album. People get older after'all.
taproot vevo wtf?
A band that time has forgotten. Shame!
POLSKA GRUPA FANÓW NA FACEBOOK'U facebook.com/groups/742529669141432/
none of my friends even know who they are.
Sounds similar to Sevendust - Waffle
Blue sky research is definitely their best, but the long road home came close, I can't wait to hear the res of this album!!
From "Poem" to this shit... you know a band is on tight budget if the music video looks so cheap. This band deserves better.
would you rather them go mainstream to the point of being over rated
Damn, this group couldn't be more cookie cutter. On another note, this sound/style was pretty much all late 90's rock lol. Serious though, watching this was like a trip back to '98.
Good at record, awkward in live.
if you guys run out of ideas, you know, you dont have to make music
I've really liked this band this they came out pre-2000, but I don't condone the douchebag beards they sport.
Fantastic song, even better video. Release Me, Release Me, RIGHT NOW!!!
