Crossfade is one of the most underrated rock bands ever. It would be great to see them return.
Do the up and down history of green day
@@Mthom95 Good idea.
Without a doubt crossfade was a staple in my life helped me alot in my dark times.. Much love to them
100% Agree.
They’re a good band my favorite song is Cold
"Cold" never gets old. I can jam it constantly.
I with you brother 👍
Love Cold...
One of my favs, they dont get enough credit
@Nick Those are serious hits.
I agree
Same
So Far Away is an addicting song for me
Ikr 3 mins that feel like 20 secs
One of my favorite songs
bro I loooooove that song
_I'm so fAAAr awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy..._
Me too I love that song
Crossfade was a killer band when they first debuted on the radio with Cold, and they still are!
Cold was awesome
Cold is still kicking ass
Plot twist. Ed Sloan is actually Chris Pratt and has been in front of us the whole time
That wouldn't be surprising
hahaha well done my friend.
Mind, blown!
🤣🤣🤣
Another factor that plays into Crossfade's absence that wasn't talked about was the lead singer's, Ed Sloan's depression. He talked about it in an interview promoting the band's album "We All Bleed". He spoke on how the sub-par success with their second album really took a tool on him emotionally, resulting in him not wanting to do music for a while. This also explains their darker themes on their 3rd album. It was thanks to his partner Les Hall to pull him up from his slump at got back on their grind.
This may also result on why he went the "Christian" route musically. To find peace and serenity. Which is normally the case for new-born Christians. He may have realized that being in the band was not the best place for him. But hopefully he will find a balance and get back to playing kickass music while still having a healthy mindset.
it worked for Brian Welch.... but if he gets peace and sobriety more power to him.
The singer became a famous movie actor it looks like.
Hahaha you mean Chris Penn, right?😂
Man if they get back together this summer and perform the first album in its entirety TAKE MY MONEY
Agree
Crossfades first album has ZERO skips. Love these guys 🤟🏾
yep, one of those few albums
The millennial in me loves this comment 😊
@@ayeshastar 🔥🙌🏾
My brother went to high school with them, he was even asked to join as a guitarist when they started, but he turned them down. He kicks himself now.
Oof
Well good thing he didn’t or he’d be unemployed since they haven’t done anything in 10 years lol
Nothing to kick himself over
For any musician this would be awesome! Most people have no success doing what you want and love. Even if minor.
Yeah no shit 😅
We All Bleed was a great album. Shame it didn't do well due to people not knowing about it.
@Kefla Dude I listened the hell out of that album, I absolutely adore this band!
my favorite of theirs
Same, it came out right at a dark moment in life and helped me out a ton, such a damn good album and Eds voice really got to shine.
I didn't even know about this album until now, and Crossfade was one of my favorite bands of all time.
Shame that they didn't get the marketing they deserved!! :(
it´s a dream can see all NuMetal Band come back together playing in festivals and doing new stuff.
check out tallah, overconfidence
I wanna see Hurt come back. Talk about totally underrated. Sloan is amazing at guitar and singing though
Oh my god YES!!! Talk about great musicians! I’d love to see Hurt come back
House Carpenter is on my main rock playlist, glad to see another fan!
Rapture still gives me chills at the very end. Fighting Tao and Wars are beautiful songs, but I’d have to say Thank You for listening is my favorite Hurt song
Talented band that never took off and simmered down.
Saw hurt in st. Louis at point fest a few years back. So awesome
I remember hearing multiple songs when playing Mx vs. Atv Off-road Fury. 2005. Right after they came out with their best album in 2004.
Yup and papa roach a getting away with murder was on it too
Remember those days when we got awesome racing games with great music and games with great music lol - thats how I would always find out about bands back then
@@mentaltelepathy24 same here
dude that game was my childhood
Those old school playstation one-3 games always introduced people to the best music. So many bands that I love and still listen to right now are from videos games like MX vs AtV, Madden's, NHL, Fifa and WWE games always had the best music.
What I really wanna say is I wonder what happened to crossfade
They probably went and got real old
@@kristacompton4119 Fuuuuck 😆
hahaha
@@kristacompton4119 they’re sorry for the wayyy that they ageeed!
Crossfades self titled is honestly one of the best albums out there! Especially one of the best debut albums!
It's a shame that some of the best bands only stay together for a while....... We can only imagine what this amazing band would be like today if they were still together
Yeah man in the video rock feed did not say in the video that the band first drummer Brian Geiger left the band in 2004 and was replaced by James branham who was in the Cold music video
These guys were huge in the mid-2000’s. It’s crazy how they went down this rabbit hole since then.
They still have over a million listeners on Spotify a month.
@@JohnDoe-mv2be2 million now
I want alot of my childhood Bands to come back
The singer is incredible, one of the best rock singers
The self titled album was a really amazing album. Theres alot of killer tracks that had dark deep lyrical content. Havent stopped listening to it since it came out, never will. Let's get these guys on the road.
Thats the thing, their other two albums were meh
I wanna see Trust Company come back
Dude yes!!
Hell yeah. Their last album, which like Crossfade's was also released in 2011, has so many great songs on it.
Same
I love all their albums! Trust Co is amazing as well!
Their self titled album was f*cking awesome.
Their first album is a classic. They couldn’t ever repeat what they did and that’s okay. Sometimes things are better left how they are. I would like to see a 20 year anniversary in 2024 with remastered tracks, demos and maybe a few new songs recorded in the same style as that 2004 record. One can dream.
If you didn't know they were called The Nothing then Sugar Daddy Superstar
That would be amazing wouldn't it!?
I think their albums got better and better musically.
@@bryanlenihan5012 Holy shit thank you for saying this.
It's crazy to hearing this stuff from them so much later
I got to say, We All Bleed, Starless, and Cold are my all - time favorites from Crossfade.
Starless is one of my faves as well. That whole 1st album is amazing though.
Starless is really great song
If only you could watch me fall I cannot feel it anymore, the soul you cut, the soul you torn. I can’t feel you anymore, cuz, you’ve run through me with destructive force. I think somehow I gotta get it straight, I gotta get you out of me, but I cannot get through to you
Some of the coolest dudes I've ever gotten the chance to meet. Saw them twice when their last album (which is amazing) came out, got to hang out both times after the show too. First one was acoustic because their vehicle that had all their gear blew up on the way to the show. Second one was amazing. I was front row, and I got personally handed a pick by Ed after a song, "cause I knew every damn lyric to every song." He remembered me after the show, thanking me for how well I knew their music. That definitely made me feel good lol. Shared a couple jager bombs with them too!
The alcohol, the demerol
these things never could replace
What a minute with you could do
To put a smile on my face...Dam good song, I was a Jr in High school when they released self titled album..
Same.
Haha WTF is Demerol
@@RockFeed do one on Nothingface
I remember coming across them a few years ago. Such a great band and wish they still made music now
No Giving Up & Starless were always my favorites.
RIP KNW💜
We All Bleed is CRIMINIALLY underrated. It's easily their best work and I would love to see another album by them.
*In that interview he sounded very depressed and . . kinda drunk but I'm glad he's alright and doing his own thing. But a farewell tour I would be fine with as long as I get to see them together one last time.* 🙏
The way I found this band was crazy. Mx vs atv unleashed for the ps2 and cold so happened to be one of the tracks that played. Fell in love with the band ever since and is still my favorite rock band to this day.
All three of their albums are timeless for me. I would love to see them live again.
I saw them live in 2011, the first show of the We All Bleed tour, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They had a good live show, and I really got into that album (We All Bleed). Got to meet the whole band and shake hands with them. Good people. And they can f'n play.
Their self titled debut album was awesome!
Crossfade was my favorite band in my teen years. I'm in my mid 20's now and still think about this band. Hope all the members are doing well and enjoying life doing whatever they wanna do!
They had a lot of potential after their 3rd album We All Bleed.. the 10 minute closer Make Me a Believer couldn’t been the perfect catalyst for them to have prog influence on their next album. Unfortunately never happened...
Agreed. Musically that album is incredible and lyrically extremely deep
Thanks 🙏🏼
@@Lestronica Dude gotta say loved your addition to We All Bleed!
I just discovered this band and fell in love, unfortunate they're not together anymore
I honestly forgot about crossfade and didn’t realize they had 2 albums past their debut
Crossfade is and still my favorite alternative bands of all my life
Do a what happened to taproot. I love that band and blue sky research is heavily under rated
I would love to see a taproot one. So so underrated
I'll have to agree they are underrated considering I've never heard of them or at least the band's name might have heard and know a song or two lol
They used to play local shows in my town all the time before they got a record deal, pretty solid band with some interesting ideas. I would love to see what happened to them because they would hang out after the show, good times.
Coal chamber. Dirty wormz. Hell so many good bands from that time.
One of my favorite bands. According to a member of the band, Steven never wanted the band to be big. Wasnt his thing. Hes held them back this whole time as this person said hes the voice of the band and it wouldnt be Taproot without him
hope this video gets to the members of the band after all these years we still got love for y'all
I hope one of the guys sees this feed!
Wow! i'm impressed. as a Crossfade Diehard I was worried. Idky, you guys always do good research! Even though we may never see more crossfade, I hope the masses can grow to appreciate their music more. To me their 3 albums are like 3 chunks of my soul. Ed Sloan is a genius and I just wished he'd believe in that as much as we all do, the true diehards that is. Crossfades music has left a major impact on my life, good, bad or in-between. It'd be greedy to beg for anything more when the art we received was so perfect! All i can hope for is that Ed and the rest of the guys are able to look back on it and say "damn man we had the stank!" and to be proud of the work they have done!
Hey, I really like these! I liked the "tragic story if xxxx" but it was so dark.
This is much more just informative and, imo, enjoyable. I really like how the channel is expanding! Quality work, thank you!
The harmonies were second to none, beatiful compositions, and just as the comments say, the lyrics brought us through tough times growing up. It was strange growing up in the 90s and 2000s. The world changed like no other time before. Here we are many of us in our late 20s and 30s looking back on this group and wondering what the hell happened to music like this. Thank you Crossfade. You made timeless music for us.
Thanks for making this video Rock Feed! Crossfade has been one my favorites since their beginning!
A few years back I had a little back and forth with Les Hall on Twitter and he claimed they had 70% of a 4th album done. They switched gears and he mentioned potential of a Greatest Hits but nothing came about. They all seem to stay pretty quiet on social media. If anyone, Mitch James is most active.
One of the few bands I wish I could have seen live.
Woah, throwback! I saw them in 2012 at a small festival, they were still tight and sounded awesome, but you could see they weren't happy that most of the crowd only knew "that one song"
When one song becomes very succesfull it can affect the band negatively, like bodies by drowning pool, almost every song in the album is better than it but most people only know that one song, i think they just dont bother to check more of the band music when they are already sick of hearing one song everywhere
@@soheibkidouche4745 I saw dp live in 2017 and pretty much everyone jammed tf out to every single song. when trapt played it was a different story tho lmao
That first album from 2004 will always be great
listened to debut album a million times. My twins were about 6 and knew every word to every song . When I play any song from that album with my kids, we instantly belt out the tunes. Its definitely a musical bond we have with each other and no other band has come close. It will always be one of the very top albums of all time
This channel got really good lately. Really nice content. Keep going dude I'm proud of ya.
I've been throwback listening to their material this year and honestly hope one day we could get at least one more album, or if we're lucky, a tour that includes the EU/UK 🙏
Honestly they're one of the most underrated Alt Metal/Rock bands from the early 2000s era, pretty much all of their emotional themed songs always hit hard for me 🖤
The first album will never get old, it’s just their live performances were sloppy and the famous over night got to them and what was an amazing band just faded away, so much potential guys we all love and miss you!!!
I watched a few of those last live performances on video. Ooof, not gonna lie it was hard to watch. They make decent music but you can tell Les Hall is the main driving force of the band with his sheer talent.
This was an awesome video, Brian! Very well made. Go birds!
I have been listening to them a lot recently
Crazy how you posted this lol
I'm a family friend of Tony and he had another band called The Undivided, it's an amazing band with only one album so far but all the music on there is absolutly amazing. Tony is an amazing song writer which is my theory about why the albums without him in Crossfade just dropped in quality.
Awesome update! I’ll google em
@@jayteesgear You can find them on youtube
They didn’t drop in quality. They lacked promotion. Listen to them. They’re just as great as the first album. And “We all bleed” is honestly a hidden gem front to back.
In my opinion when Tony left the band was no longer the same..... with Ed and Tony it worked. I was a huge fan of these guys back then and still am even saw them live twice. The 2nd time I didn’t even know Tony was gone. I got to meet them and asked them where Tony was but they seemed to not like talking about it. I was so disappointed and it wasn’t the same. Later finding out he got married and went on the religious side which is also cool. Tony did released songs on his MySpace page like “Left Behind” if anyone remembers MySpace lol.. and his new band The Undivided with song called “Change” and has a video. Those songs was awesome.. so yes would love to hear them ALL together again with Big T
Cross fade, revis, fair to midland.... i can name more.
@@jasonsudeikis26 i feel your pain man...
Earshot?
Heard "caught in the rain" on spotify the other day. Nostalgia in its purest form
Socialburn
They're one of my favorite alternative metal/post grunge bands, ed sloan is great rythme guitar player he plays tricky/scretchy chords and riffs while singing which is something not many frontmen will to do, and i think their last album "we all bleed" is really good, it's Heavier and darker
Extremely well made as ever, Brian!
Really enjoyed this! I was around Mitch's family for a long time, even worked with him for a few years. I know he wanted to get it up and going again, it's just they were just busy and the stars never really aligned properly for it to come together. I'm still hoping there's some sort of reunion concert or something in the works, was always a big fan of their music. Third album is highly underrated.
Rock Feed thank you for this. Their song Cold is the most binge worthy nu metal song in history!
You did a great job on this video I miss they're music.
Their debut album is great. I still jam it every once in awhile. It's a classic that every song is good on it
his music is so unique. truthful, yet beautiful. some songs his voice sounds different than others. such a gift. its a shame they went dark
"Cold" Is such a good song! I really hope this band gets back together. I would definitely go see the band perform all the hit songs they've compiled.
Saw them live, and I think every one of them sang a song. Really impressive
Cold & Colors were huge songs for me early in college when I was first getting into rock.
Their first album saved my life as a teen. No lie. Really wish they would come back
Damn, I was litterally thinking about what happen to crossfade on my way to work this morning and here is this video posted 2 days ago. I was thinking how underrated We all bleed is. when i first heard it when it came out i was like eh but as my tastes have changed in the last 10 years i realized damn its sooo good. great video
Thanks for this vid
"Killing me Inside" was a good jam!
That whole album is solid
such an underrated album. dead memories and dear cocaine are incredible also
Spent time in the Marines and this band got me through a lot. Thanks guys
It’s so tragic. We All Bleed album is still one of the best albums. I keep coming back to it throughout the years.
I saw Crossfade in Beaumont, Texas in 05 & talked to them after the show they were cool guys.
This is the first time I ever heard of this band. I'll go check them out.
Crossfade is my favorite band to listen during intense workouts 🔥 very underrated
I literally would pay any amount of money for a new Crossfade album. We All Bleed was such a dark banger!
I still listen to Crossfade all the time
Yes!! This has been my fav rock band for the last year or so. Super under appreciated, especially their last album, we all bleed. Ah! So gooood!!!
🦾👽
I loved these guys and never new why they stopped putting out music. Interested in finding out why. 👍🏻
Good memories jamming to their 1st record.. I remember keeping it in my cd player for 2 months straight.. I went back and listened to it again a couple months ago. Nostalgia
Been asking this question for years lol thank you for finally answering it lol
this is military wife metal
That is so accurate lol
I’m gonna have to remember that one
*Looking back at me...*
always gets me
Grew up in Columbia, SC, we are all wondering what happen to Crossfade! We miss you guys!
They’ve updated their Facebook once every few years. They got dropped by their last label and then their studio and gear got caught in a fire. Think they’ve seen some rough times and in general take a while writing their material. Ed did some solo stuff that was pretty good in my opinion but very niche as it was more religion faced music. Still hope they go back out on tour soon at least. Miss them.
That first record was great and I saw them twice and they put on a fantastic live show. Ed is cool.
I remember coming across this album at walmart of all places and I bought it when I was 15. I had the OG album when they had two singers on it. Their 1st album was really good for the time. Seems like Ed isnt into writing nu metal anymore, but with nu metal coming back, it may be his time to shine.
not all bands need a great send off. Let these guys go quietly on their own terms which seems to be what happened.
I’ve always wanted to know what happened to these guys..... their first album is one of my all time favorites!!!
I also wonder what happened to Trust Company and Taproot, two other bands from the same time frame I also love!!!
I've been listening to them since they debuted. WAB is probably my favorite album period- at least for sentimental reasons. I check their FB page every now and then. I'm also friends with Ed on there as well. I'll check to see if he's mentioned anything, but he's pretty reclusive. Les has implied that they've been in the works on something for a while. Considering Les and Ed have known each other since middle school, I'm sure they always have a project brewing in the meantime. Here's hoping to see a new record.
Such an underrated kickass band. We All Bleed is my favorite album by them.
So far away is an absolute banger and I still play it till this day
Literally still listen to them daily
I met crossfade couple of time while back. Really nice guys.
We All Bleed seriously ROCKED 2011!!! "Killing Me Inside" absolutely STILL sounds GREAT & NEW to ME even AFTER 12 years (2011-2023-now). I hope ALL is WELL & SAFE 🙏🏽😔🙏🏽 with the FORMER members of Crossfade?!?
I still listen to them everyday..there music never gets old..Wish they would come back..🙏👍👏
"We all bleed" is a masterpiece..... We want more music!
The lead singer is a manager at a Bojangles in Lexington NC
I love all three albums.
Discovered them around 2006.
Not sure where I heard a song from them...
I think it was a videogame.
Ed has a amazing voice.
One of my favourite bands lately. ❤🖤
Thanks for this! I always wondered what happened to them and also non point. I saw both of them perform at the house of blues in Orlando back in like 2004/2005
Dude, we're they with Seether and No Address? If so, I was at that show.
@@vladtheinhaler8940 the opener was called namedropper, then Nonpoint then Crossfade
