Bought that CD back in the day. Now I'm 51 in 2024. Wtf that time went.
Who’s here in 2021 missing the 90s?
More simple, better times.
Men who were manly,music that was real and could pull emotion out of you,playing instruments and no auto tune. What’s not to love?!?!? It doesn’t hurt that he’s a hottie in the vids!! Miss the 90’s,best time to be a teenager. I now watch my 3 teens navigate their way through a much harsher and cruel time,where what’s on the inside doesn’t count like it should. At least I managed to get 1 of them into my music!!!!
P.s. Not hating on lgbtq+ at all,each to their own. It’s just good to see guys who don’t wear makeup and embody masculinity 🖤
Simpler times indeed.
Edit: I have been well aware he's still alive. I should have researched before I commented.
I'm sitting here before 5 am thinking about how we lost him and his might have been the last of his kind as an accident. The masters we've lost since were intentional. And that's devastating.
@@stephanielundquist1675 I honestly think Travis's case is "The saddest and biggest waste of a talent in musical history " 😢🖤
This song brings back summer drives in the late 90’s...
These guys are so underrated. Everytime I hear this song i feel like I can push a little further as tired or beaten I may be.
Check out "Dax Riggs" if you want more like this.
if u need some music recommendations lemme know awesome band super underrated
you can't hide from the shelf in the room
These guys are no longer together and the lead singer is a
balding, mess of a shell of his prior self.
I acknowledge they're so underrated when I hear that beautiful guitar tune in the beginning of their songs like YEP thats Dayz!
We hope Travis is good after all these years, man. What an inspiration. If you read this you are a fucking LEGEND brother.
He was on the first episode of Intervention. Not sure if he kicked his heroin habit.
(Damien
It was meth not heroin @@wendyhamm9722
@@wendyhamm9722He did not. 💔. Such a waste of a gift.
I@@wendyhamm9722 I always thought that his drug of choice was Crystal meth and not Heroin? I might be wrong tho
THE 1990s we meet again ... this time I am sober
HELL YEAH,takes a Soldia 2deal w this world clean!! #TheNeedleLieS
I wanna steal your quote couldn't say it better if i tried
I am now! 15 years and the rest of my life to go! I did enough in the 90's to kill an entire continent. No more toe on the trigger! Keep strong and Amen!
Yes
Same! 14 yes Clean from meth
This song is EPIC, and to me it epitomizes the pain and disillusionment of modern life. Many songs from the 90s did such a great job of putting the mirror to society and showing the dark undercurrents that exist in our world: "Under The Bridge", "Jeremy", "Man In The Box", "Creep", "Sober", "All Apologies", "Runaway Train", "Everybody Hurts", "Fell On Black Days", the list goes on.
That's right! Pretty accurate.
HOW WOULD I KNOW?? THAT THIS COULD BE MY FAAAAATE
💜
It was an awesome time when people could express through music in stead of burning down cities. A good protest song, or a good song expressing disillusionment is millions of times more effective than lawlessness. I love this band and love these songs!
I love all those songs
This was the last cassette i ever bought. 1997. I had a 79 firebird driving to trade school...it had a classic alpine cassette player..
79 camaro myself
And 1979 is when Travis was born ❤
wonderful description of The Way Things Were...miss this time!!!!
Wow. There is a movie in your scenario. Luv it.
77 firebird
If Paul Walker and Chris Cornell could somehow conceive a child, it would have been this guy
Both gone now, RIP😒 Song kicks ass by the way!
SO GAY
Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain somehow had a weird love affair this dude would be their bastard child😂
Yo this is a weird ass comment bro wtf 😂
😅
So underrated. I can't believe this album is so absolutely amazing as it is. So seldom is every song so damn good as in this album.
Totally agree
Keep sharing spred the dopness that is Travis
My favorite album. Of most all times. I'm here now
My favorite album. Of most all times. I'm here now
Some might say the album is.. Whimsical
entire album was a masterpiece. fantastic album
Kevin Gordon yes!
Totally underrated.
Agree!
couldn't agree more!
some of the songs are " MEhhhhhh " But there are some really good songs also . Still prefer Alice in Chains unplugged !
Hands down one of the best bands besides AIC's that came out of the 90s.
TON is mine, but yea AIC hands down.
@@Impuritan1 Mental Hippie Blood as well. And STP. And I also dare to say Creed. Call the vocals and the tones how I hear em. Music always has similarities. It's all just a foundation to build upon, change some angles to make it fresh, but it's still the same foundation it has been for millenia.
Bro I thought this was Alice In Chains
deaf
This was one of Laynes favorite bands.
I used to listen to this in my car, all of the time. My 6 year old son did not understand why he was singing about a "Chef In The Room".😁. That little boy is the father of 2 now. God, I feel old.
You're NOT!!!
Omg that’s hilarious
The che-ef in the ROOM! 😁😅
@@amandawilson9555 Pretty funny, huh? I remember when my youngest son was 3. He always wanted to hear that "Rat in a Cage" song by Smashing Pumpkins. Kids, huh?
@@donnakaye2015 At least they weren't asking to hear about the "Brat in a cage"
Some days you wish you had a time machine. Especially days like today. Imagine being back in 1997 when times were more simple and we were kids looking forward to the future. Now the future of the world is bleak and you don't hear talented musicians on the radio.
I need a time machine I definitely want to go back to 1997
dang dude i couldn't agree more .i skipped work to see these guys play for free at a newbury comics.what a better time in life
That year I had my whole life ahead of me. I graduated from high school in 97, was ready to take on college, and back then great music and bands were in it's prime and twilight, including Days of The New. As far as today goes, at least the three original members minus Travis are bringing something new to the table with Blisskrieg, so that gives me hope.
I'm TOTALLY there with you
The future is better now than ever it was before
I'm trying to teach myself this on guitar. In 2022. At 44 years old. One of my favorite songs from the 90s. Hoping Travis is doing well.
He's not. Prison and meth addiction.
Well last year they released a new album and he's completely clean of everything
@@Trash_F--k wow! where can i listen to the new album?
@@choobalance if you put days of the new, new album into UA-cam it should come up as illusion is now, I think
Eschermond you rock🤟
didn't know about this song until i was 27 yrs old, 2 years ago. been listening to it ever since todays music just doesn't cut it.
The shelf in my room is filled with cds from the 90’s.......😎
mine too hahaha
Awesome!!!
Awesome
As a guitarist of 20 years, I know that hearing someone play an acoustic is the best way to tell if they're a good player or not. On an electric, you can get away with some stuff that you can't on an acoustic. These guys were really fucking great. The whole album is awesome. I've listened to it many times over the years.
Your spot on. These guys never got as much credit as they deserved . Amazing players. I learned on my dad's old 12 string at about 7. By the time I was 19-20 people couldn't believe how fast I was on a smooth thin electric. Your hands get so much tougher on acoustic. To play like then song after song they are amazing.
True. Their solo in Touch Peel and Stand is top notch acoustic
I have songs I can only play on an acoustic guitar and some I can only play on an electric.
Is difficult to play shelf in the room?
Fuxk ....the transfer of cords, sound differential takeover( esp @ the end) , these guys n Staind have somebgood shit!
Still haunting verses and such sadness to understand depression, and addictions, and life is just plain difficult! I hope Travis is ok wherever he is today!
I feel ya. Having been a person who has gone through many dark periods of my own life, his music really speaks to me. I feel blessed to have people in my life to keep me me in check.
Travis has the talent to continue to do great things. I hope he has the people around him to remind him of this. I love to see days if the new live or put out some type of media online
Still brings a tear all these years later
i love the song it was different. very talented artists.
Funny how an acoustic band sounded even heavier than some of the electric bands from that era. Great song, great band.
Even heavier, you said it well!
its called heavy bass track lol
its called grunge
Man, this album was so unique, it's hard to this day to put it into a defined genre. Hard ass lyrics, gorgeous down-tuned sound-layering, and the vocals... wow!
I picked this album up, back when it came out, and the next 2 albums as they dropped.
Years later, I'm at a party, and this dude picks up an acoustic and starts playing a perfect rendition of their work... I was in awe...jaw on the floor.
We turned off the Mudvayne playlist we had running in the next room and let his sound ring out throughout the house... it was incredible, and while his playing was excellent in all respects... This album made that night happen the way it did. To this day, this band is seared into my memory. Today, I came home with the song "Weapon and the Wound" in mind... started whistling it as I walked through the door from work and minutes later was singing it out loud.
Now, me, I'm culturally as much of a metalhead as one can get, but this album is metal AF.
@"Marc Poirier" ... no... it's not. Just leave it at that.
One hit wonders do not a great band make....
i miss these days
I just discovered them on Spotify and I'm obsessed. TRULY A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!
Have they taken a lot of their stuff down?
I still can't believe that this voice came from a 17 year old 🤯.
Yeah man it's crazy when you think about it. It's a shame he didn't progress even more cause if he was like that at 17 you can only imagine
@@nylontusk1289 drug addiction
@@shawnm1472 Check out what he looks like in 2021. Stay off them drugs kids.
What?? Never knew that
@@tonyb313 Knew what?
Beautiful song by an incredibly talented band. Days Of The New were so massively underrated
Prodigy remade smack my bitch up at the same time. Roughly. Really turned on the dom sub culture. I never got that. I need to kill or want to fuck. No in between.
The shelf in the room has been so true!!🎤🎸
Not only was his voice one of the most powerful in the grunge world but his guitar playing is at the top as well.
I was blown away to know I haven't heard such soul moving music
Such a handsome man, great song
In the garage belting this one out just like every time I rock this jam. Legendary tune.
I’m in my early 40s, and sadly, I just heard DOTN for the first time this past month (Thank you quarantine). I am now obsessed... and very saddened by the direction Travis’ life has gone. As long as he’s alive, though, there is still hope for him. Thoughts, prayers, and good vibes going out for Travis. He needs them all...
He's doing a lot better. But that's happened before too so....hope he keeps it up this time
If you haven’t already (you probably have) get the Green and Red albums too, they are both amazing. Travis is one of the best songwriters I’ve ever known. I’ve met and hung out with him a few times, he’s always be so super cool. I hope he finds his way.
It's probably your age group, I. believe. You're just young enough to have missed it. Not sure. They also didn't become super popular like other bands at the time... But amazing nevertheless..
You need to listen to Travis Meeks and The Doors do The End.
I think of Travis at least twice a week... I hope, so hard, that he comes back to us...
One of the biggest what ifs in music history.
Everything from the 90s just hit different.
Ain't listened to this song in years. Never forgot, just a random moment brought me here from days gone by. I miss these days
Man...this takes me to Biloxi, Mississippi. 1998. 19 years old in the Marine Corps. These guys came out of NOWHERE and this was the first time I listened to anything rock, let alone bought the album, to this level. Days of the New should've been huge. But the Yellow Album is a classic.
Thank you!
-ThankYou for Your services and may the Good Lord Bless Ya 👍
...Now, is the Yellow Album, 'Shelf in the Room' (??
No kidding im from the coast.. keesler is over in biloxi aswell
Just love his voice...it's such a smooth sultry sounds and the band has the metal accuostic sounds that just make it so much better than ever.
Hi Swanson,hope you’re okay ?
This group is THE best look back into the 90s.
Travis is a great talent. Wishing you well my friend...
Badass acoustics rarely find original young bands like them.
This song popped in my head for no reason today. I remember I played this album for almost a month straight.
Same here for me, today. I feel bad that I forget because I absolutely love this song; as well as this album ❤
Grunge acoustic!!! The Very Good sound.
Good shit.Happy birthday to me 64 years ago.Kids these days.Follow your heart.Blue and true.
I grew up around these guys in Indiana. There music captured that time at home and what growing up in Indiana felt like then in the 90's . Everytime I hear them on the radio or some show, not matter where I'm at or what I'm going I'm that 16year old pot head, rainbow gathering going hippie skater kid again.
Days is literally the best...C'mon Travis. You got it...move it forward brother.
Awesome.
His voice is a masterpiece!!!
The shelf in the room, has been the way, of holding me and letting me stay.
I love the 90s music
I love you all talking about listening to this in 98 when you were 17. I was 37 and wore this sucker out
Over 15 years maybe almost 20 and I always come back to this album. Brilliant and beautiful rock and roll.
Oo
Dawned
h zakaria WTF are you taking about? UA-cam didn't exist when this album came out.
Waters I remember things called tapes. I made a mixtape with this song on it back in '97. I couldn't afford a car CD player yet.
Do you know of any more music that has this type of sound? I mean like an open D, acoustic sound with repetitive riffs. I really want more music like this.
Rohan Casukhela I love SAP & Jar of Flies by Alice in Chains and Come Clean by Puddle of mudd but check out this link....
www.guitarchordsmagic.com/drop-d-tuning.html
Also the 90's MTV Unplugged. Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana etc...
I miss this band so much...
Travis meeks left the band cause he thought he was DOTN. The rest formed Tantric , with a new lead singer ….
Travis wish you would of show up at concert in 2001 Still love you music
How was it legal to have this much positively amazing hair in one band?!??!!??!
Travis will be back. Better than ever. Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion. Dude has had issues yes. We all have. Support the ones who never give up. He will rise again. Believe that.
agree!!
I really hope so . Their music still holds up to this day :)
+Tony Begley the red album? Fantastic.
***** yes , red album is great!!
can't keep a good man down!
This kind of music used to be played on the actual radio a long time ago.
THE BEST THROATY and electric acoustic EVER ❤
As a 60 plus year old individual, with a very wide range of Music taste and preference ... I can safely say these guys were very underrated.
I am amazed by the talent possessed by these young men back during that time, and still do even to this day. 😎
90's, the era of many godly voices.
One of the only bands I've ever seen that was actuallly better in concert... small venue and they blew my mind! 🔥
Wholesome and earthy for all the right reasons. ♉
I miss music videos like this.
Omg-Mf! Me 2!!!
NaKeisha Brown
I miss music.
I miss music like this
I miss the 90s
IM THE ONE WHO KILLED THE VIDEO STAR..but first I killed the radio one.
The key is so distant
I've opened doors
Know when to listen
Know what to listen for (yeah)
The shelf in the room
Has been the way of holding me
And letting me stay
Kick me out
Let me go
I don't belong here no more
A releasing sense of getting tired
Hold myself
I can't hold myself
The shelf in the room
Has been so true
I can hide in
The shelf in the room
Holding out
Never hold in
Holding out
Never hold
Know when to listen
Know what to listen for
Believe in resistance
Don't let them tell you anymore
Is there anyway/no
To get away/no
Ask myself
While I stay inside
The key is so distant
I've closed my doors
The shelf in the room
Is rain waiting to pour
Thanks man.
The video gives the same colors as the album
Damn......That voice...= No words.
Underrated treasure from the 90s.
I love you, Travis. Never forget that we are gods trapped in the bodies of animals. All you have to do is keep breathing...just keep breathing and you've won the game.
This was one of the most incredible albums. Here I am, still listening to this track some 20 years after the album dropped and still it's one of my faves ever.
Never gets old
Best Grunge band in my opinion.
I was a freshman in high school and when this album came out-remember when they were on the cover of Teen People??-and this song stays with me till this day. The musicianship on this record is incredible and Travis’s voice is like no other’s. It’s a shame that the band had such a short time to shine; they were really something special.
I agree with you.
Ditto!!
I miss y'all so much. As a black middle age grudge chick, please come back. We need y'all so much. After 2020, I need to feel something other than anxiety and defeatism. Please hear my plea. I have cookies and hugs for all of you.
Word
Who’s listening to travis meeks & Days of the new in 2019?!!!
Just saw him on a rerun of intervention, but man this brought me back to high school!
Hell yeah!!!
Spread the word!!
The guy that fired his band? Nahh don’t care much about that.
Keep on keepin' on
Very underrated!!! Thats raw talent if u can't hear that ...... Turn it up alot more!!!!!
Under rated.Draws me in.I love it.Old.But,index in.
'90's grunge and post-grunge music totally rules!!
THIS SONG KEPT ME ALIVE IN JAIL.
LONG, HARD STORY!!
Tell us
Glad you're out of it.
Same here.
More great music from the Midwest.
This east coaster loves you my man 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
everyday I miss the good music from the 90´s
Man this song is what immediately made me into a fan!! I'm 45yo today, and while I love many of their songs, this one, and the downtown song is what truly amazed me. Travis may have had his struggles but who in life doesn't. What a wonderful voice from back in the 90s when music was the best era!!!!
Bruh... I remember seeing these guys open for Jerry Cantrell and Metallica on a Fourth of July show... they all were just as good live as you could expect
Just a simple Kentucky boy missing this wonderful amazing band in the beginning of 2022. The bad news - all of the money in the world can't bring this wonderful group of musicians back together. The good news - we can jam to their 90's stuff on UA-cam whenever we want. Long live Days of the New.
No matter what happend...Grunge will *NEVER* die dudes
Hi os, check out 'Dancing with the Wind' Facebook page. Spread the word!
Awesome how they capture the mood of depression in this song perfectly.
I thought the same thing....I love to sing this song
Doug Prishpreed gotta remember he was teenager when he our this out, already had developed a drug issue.so yes it wasn't to hard to capture his exact mood..
Doug Prishpreed That was just the way of generation X
#another1SlibUnionStation
This song is not about depression, its about being oppressed, and bullied and resisting what they are trying to shove in your face,this song has no depression in the message
Great to have seen them live. Travis has had a rough life wish things were better for him. At the concert I saw him on dear Lord.
Filled my shelves, blue eyes, lyrics and monster on my back. IDC did time with him, scared, emotional. He was passed around
The guitars on this track are just incredible
Can't even believe they weren't bigger than they became. A Shame... Better than alot of popular bands from the 90's..
Sad but true my friend. Simply Outshined by bands like Soundgarden.. Pun intended.
They could have gone much further, but the camaraderie between members just wasn't there to support it.
Days of the New .. the best and most unknown band of the world.
love You Travis.
When my daughter was a newborn I use to play this song and sing to her to keep her from crying. Years later the song came on the radio and I told her that I use to sing this to her. She said yuck. hehe Memories are special to the beholder
Miss this time of my life...56 and still rocking 60s 70s 80s 90s and beyond......
Me, too. Turned 56 this year. How did the years go by so fast? I'm a rocking Grandma now.
This whole album was Awesome !! This group should have got Top Recognition !!
I'm not sure how this art came to be I see the Lord knows the heart your soul is for his plan and the journey is yours to witness and testify for his purpose we are used good or bad it's what you learn from the lesson and road just my own experience the music takes u there God Bless 🙏
Not Entirely Sober, However Yes, The '90's... Nothing Else Compared to this Then... Need Something Like this Now...
Travis and Morrison will always paint a picture with words.
This is one of those songs I love just as much as I did on the first listen! So freaking good. 🤘 The whole CD on endless repeat back in the day got me thru one of those hide in the closet (everybody's watching me) LSD trips. Something about Travis' voice just got in between my brain cells and stuck there. Hard to explain but it's almost like the remembering of a smell that makes it so vivid when I hear this song STILL so many years later.
I know this shelf. And the room. I've experienced what he's singing about. In that room. With the shelf.
I don’t understand what this song is about, but still love the sounds. Something about a shelf that holds him and lets him know what to listen for.. idfk
I was a junior in high school going into my senior year.. Was higher than a kite doing meth smoking weed and fighting with my parents all the time and you guys came along and changed everything in my life. There are no words for me to say that could even begin to describe what this album did in my life... You guys carried me through the next 5 years of my life.... Love y'all
Congrats on sobriety brother
No, YOU did it! I love hearing recovery stories. Bless you sir
c'mon Travis PLeaSEEEEEE!!!!!! We miss you!
AICNOLACHICK
Travis and Days of the new is back togather and touring
george mowbray no they are not! IF Travis is its with new Band members! So whens the new tour dates?? :)
george mowbray not anymore. he's clearly using again and they bailed.
+SilentServiceCode a damn shame
Travis your very talented, please fight your demons and keep sharing your beautiful voice with the world! God bless you dude!!!!
The ‘90s, unsung hero of rock. No pun intended
I still remember being blown completely away by this awesome song (and the entire album in general) when I first heard it.
I really thought that these guys were destined for greatness when they first came out... sadly though, time would prove me wrong.
Miss hearing music from you Travis! Saw and met you a few yrs back! Excellent live! Fathers blessings in Jesus Christs mighty name!
1996 ftw! The memories! I remember this song hearing it in the gym constantly
Travis - what a beautiful man
My cousin Jesse is in this he's the guy with the long curly brown hair.
Did he play for Hugo as well?
@@ernestgrawcock5723 that I don't know. I haven't talked to my cousin in years nor seen him in years. But he's in a recent band now called "The Louisville Crashers" they're good. He has a red guitar and shaves his head bald now. His name is Jesse Vest
@@ernestgrawcock5723 Yes, he, Todd and Matt were also in Tantric after DOTN. Then Jesse was in the Louisville Crashers until recently they formed Blisskrieg with a new singer. They just released their new single recently this year.
