This was a radio edit. The last bit, just before the big guitar solo was "Don't you push drugs in my face Or I'm gonna put you in your place Fuck you I don't want it no more!"
This song hits hard for me. I was that drug addict throughout the 80s and early 90s. The birth of my daughter saved my life. I’m lucky enough to be the father of three beautiful daughters and I have 5 grandchildren. Songs like this reminds me of who I was. Great reaction to an underrated band ✌️🤙
Oh my, i was there with you in the 80’s and some of the 90’s drugging out. I’m embarrassed of some of my actions from back then even. But I too finally found freedom from that ball and chain. I have three wonderful boys all grown men now. With one grand daughter. Life is good. ❤️💜💚
Candlebox didn't get the Seattle love like most of the bands that came from that area in the 90s. Way too many people slept on them and it's a damn shame.
Courtney Love shit all over them in an interview in Rolling Stone, accusing them of being usurpers that moved up from California just because their manager's office address was included for booking information in their debut album. In reality, they'd lived in WA for more than a decade.
Very true. Plus the world was in shock from the passing of Kurt, Layne basically became a hermit. All the attention was put into those events. I was 7 at the time, and I didn't get the lyrics, but I fell in love with candldbox after hearing Far behind. Your probably older than me. For me you is their greatest song, far behind his 2nd, let me know what you think, and if Im wrong. About something
My uncle used to promote for Candlebox when he worked for Maverick. That's how i found out about them as a teenager in the 90's. One of my favorite bands.
@@Skeezer66 No, that was Courtney who wrecked their cred and was part of the reason Madonna couldn't stand her. Their album jacket included contact info for booking information and listed the address of their manager's office in LA, so in an interview with Rolling Stone, Courtney accused them of being usurpers who moved up from California to hitch onto a zeitgeist they had no right to. In reality, the guys had lived in WA longer than she had.
@@rylian21 I know for fact that Kevin Martin and Peter Klett were raised in Seattle area, I'd have to check wiki but I'm Sure Bardi(sp?) Martin and Scott Mercado were raised in Seattle also. I know Kevins Parents still live there and Peters still there with his family. So Courtney was just flat out a Jealous Idiot who never knows what she's talking about.
They come to south Florida at the end of every February, they actually sit in the bar next to the venue and socialize and party with their fans. Class act, dynamite in concert. They still tour, you have to check out a show.
I saw them here in Milwaukee 3 years ago. They invited a fan on stage to sing a song. The lead singer ended up sitting out the next like 3 songs and drank whiskey while the fan sang lol
Candlebox didn’t have quite the longevity of many other 90s bands but they definitely had some real solid tunes. This being one of them. Having lost my brother to drugs i can definitely relate to their messages.
I’m really sorry for your loss. Nothings worse then watching a loved one slip away like that knowing if they’d just get sober they’d have a shot at life. I hope you find (or found) some peace. 💜💜💜
Not sure why you say they didn't have longevity. They're still playing and putting out records. Last one was released in 2016 and have one coming out in September this year. They unfortunately didn't get much airplay after their first CD. They've outlasted Nirvana, STP, Soundgarden, I can't think of many other grunge/alternative bands from their era that are still around: AIC, Pearl Jam, 3EB?
Saw them a year 1/2 ago and they were awesome. Radio sleeps on a lot of good bands and good music. In my opinion Volbeat has been the best band in the last 20 years and the first four albums got no radio play in the US. Most people still don’t know who they are. Sorry for your loss!
I remember when this album was released, so many grunge fans and music critics called them "The Journey of Grunge," like that was a bad thing, and they were given crap for being on the record label Madonna created. At the end of the day, they put out some killer songs that still hold up. Thanks for sharing them with your viewers! ~Be Blessed
Every other label rejected them and I still will never understand that! They're a good SOLID band. Madonna's label was new and she needed bands, She made a crapload of money from candlebox. Sometimes i don't understand labels, Those guys were FRIENDS with all of the other Seattle bands.
Honestly if I had to pick between Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Candlebox as the only grunge/Seattle band I could ever listen to again, Candlebox has my vote all day long (although I like the other two tremendously). I actually think they were more musically talented too. The only one I'd put them underneath is Alice in Chains.
great comment!! as i was reading The Journey of Grunge .. i thought ya thats a cool way to look at them lol anyways i dont really care for a lot of grunge.. but i Love Journey! lol i also Love Candlebox!
Candlebox has always been one of my faves that came out of the grunge era. They sound just as great live. Cover Me is another great one. Thanks for discovering them! Much love!
@@myoman1977 I'd put Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction as a top debut... Same with Rage Against the Machine, Body Count, Audioslave,... And yeah, that Black Crowes Album was legit as hell...still a top album of mine to listen too...along with its follow up.
more Candlebox!!! thank you! this is my second fave band of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen to "Spotlights" off their "Disappearing in Airports" album! I met the lead singer (kevin Jasper Martin) nephew a few years ago. he Gave Kevin my business card and Mr Martin messaged me on facebook personally. it meant a lot since his music got me through the toughest time in my life when my gf died.
I remember sitting around the lunch table at age 13 with my buddies. We thought these guys were posers or just trying to be Alice In Chains. God we were dumb kids. These guys are legit.
Thanks Mel!! 🙌✊. Cover Me, Blossom, and Rain are also good... trying to think of a couple others slip my mind. Thanks for keeping great music alive Mel! 💯👏😎
So much attention is given to the big 4 out of Seattle but this reminds me how many other great bands were formed by kids from there in the 80’s and 90’s. Candle box, presidents of the USA, Mudhoney, Death Cab, Sleater Kinney (Oly!) and others I’m surely missing!
The Gits, Tad, Green River, The Screaming Trees, Mad Season, Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Seaweed, MXPX, Hole, Vendetta Red, The Schoolyard Heroes... Especially that first one. The Gits were BADASS. Fuck that murdering cabbie.
@@rylian21 I love that song Second Skin by The Gits! Whenever I need to get an instant shot of adrenalin, that's a go to track. And yes, fuck that murdering pos.
One of the most underrated bands of the 90’s. Candlebox were incredible. Great songs. Check you Miss You from their 2008 album. Talk about deep lyrics…..
music critics at the time accused candlebox of being a polished version of grunge and jumping on the bandwagon but I always saw them as just a really good rock band w great tunes.
I saw Candlebox open for Living Colour back in 1993 at the Agora in Cleveland. It was a really good show. This song was the highlight of the Candlebox set for me.
I am 48 years old. Every time I see a black person discover the music they should have been privy to years ago, my heart goes out to you! Nothing but love! And this song was about leaving the drug life behind. This song helped me through some dark times. Holding and forced to deal and smoke that shit. Thank God.
On the album version of this song, he screams: F*CK YOU!" at the addiction. Powerful moment. You should just go ahead and do the Candlebox trifecta: "Cover Me"
My dad took me and my brothers to see Candlebox when we were very tiny, I barely remember it. What I do remember is this two-track cassette that he got from the show that we jammed for my entire childhood. This song and Far Behind were on it and we’d blare it in the truck and scream it. Of course me and my brothers didn’t really have the meaning back then, but we LOVED Candlebox ❤️
Saw them in Houston in the early '90s. The Flaming Lips opened. Ended up that we were in the same hotel and got to meet them both the next morning. Freaking epic!❤
I've seen this band in concert 5 times. First was for this album, latest 2 years ago June at Harrah's Casino with Tesla, Council Bluffs Iowa. They are an outstanding live band. Can't wait and see them again
I saw them in 2017 at the sls which is the Sahara now,they played at the pool for komp radio stations in Vegas for the end of summer kegger party . This was the last song and at the end the singer was leaving and I got a high five as I was at the base of the stairs of the stage. Very cool band!
I'm glad you got around to reacting to Candlebox. They are my top tier bands ever. I've been going to loads of their concerts over the years. In fact, I'm seeing them in September when they come to Nashville! Kevin is awesome to hang out with. They have many many good ones spread throughout all their albums, but 'Miss You' is one of my favorites cause it's about his dad who was in WWII.
Just discovered you! Love your take on it. I have candlebox best of in my car and I listen to You on repeat. If you loved them you’re going to love foo fighters the pretender,Pearl Jam release, offspring gone away, u2 with or without you. There’s a mile long list of epic songs that speak and resonate within your soul.
You absolutely have to do "Cover Me"... still gives me chill after all these years with just the first few notes. Candlebox is one of the most underrated rock bands from the early 90s. They're great live..so much energy. Arrow, Simple Lessons ,Blossom and it's alright are some other good ones.
Singer Kevin Martin says the song was written about him giving up addictive drugs when he turned 18 because he saw the destruction it was causing his family as he was stealing money from his parents to feed his addiction. Martin said he went to see Midnight Oil in concert one night and their singer, Peter Garrett, forever changed his trajectory. Jamal, if you dug Candlebox's two anti-drug tracks, then definitely seek out 'Change,' 'Cover Me,' 'Simple Lessons,' and 'It's Alright.'
Thanks so much for for reacting to this specific song. Not many people in my country have even heard of this band. I was completely lost and angry in my late teens and this song and Weak by Skunk Anansie got me through a very dark time in 2000. I only just found your channel about a month ago and I recently had a migraine that lasted 16 days. Thankfully, I am coming out of that crushing pain now, but I have missed music so much (due to the extreme sensitivity to any light and sound). You don't know how essential music is to your soul until it has been denied due to illness. ❤️😃

Candlebox “cover me” next please
Please check out “Marooned” by Pink Floyd
Candlebox has to be one of the most under rated 90's band
I agree 100%
Yep along with Faith No More, Saigon Kick, Savatage just to name a few
No doubt!! Absolutely
Can’t forget about Blind Melon, Screaming Trees, Dinosaur Jr or Husker Du
@@stevewhite8178 yesss!!! I'm thankful I got to see BM & ST live.. god.. those days were awesome!
You should do “cover me” very underrated great vocals
Just what i was going to say, " Gotta react to COVER ME".
Good suggestion!
Yep! Cover me is awesome!
I love Far Behind but Cover Me is so profound.
YES
This was a radio edit. The last bit, just before the big guitar solo was "Don't you push drugs in my face Or I'm gonna put you in your place Fuck you I don't want it no more!"
One of my favorite lines of the whole song
Honestly, the BEST line in the song! Too bad radio edit 😔
@@nikkikat1325 Yes, it made the song. It made a very good song great.
They also edited down the overall runtime and cut out some really good instrumental parts.
Listened to the unedited version a bunch going through rehab and getting over the opiates
This song hits hard for me. I was that drug addict throughout the 80s and early 90s. The birth of my daughter saved my life. I’m lucky enough to be the father of three beautiful daughters and I have 5 grandchildren. Songs like this reminds me of who I was. Great reaction to an underrated band ✌️🤙
Congratulations on sobriety and your beautiful children. God bless and keep ROCKIN
Congratulations on your sobriety.Keep moving forward!
Thank you for sharing your story. Gives hope and inspiration. Congratulations!
I am so happy for you
Oh my, i was there with you in the 80’s and some of the 90’s drugging out. I’m embarrassed of some of my actions from back then even. But I too finally found freedom from that ball and chain. I have three wonderful boys all grown men now. With one grand daughter. Life is good.
❤️💜💚
Candlebox didn't get the Seattle love like most of the bands that came from that area in the 90s. Way too many people slept on them and it's a damn shame.
Some stoner nirvana fans at my school refused to listen to candlebox cus of that antidrug message
Couldn't agree more
Courtney Love shit all over them in an interview in Rolling Stone, accusing them of being usurpers that moved up from California just because their manager's office address was included for booking information in their debut album. In reality, they'd lived in WA for more than a decade.
all over the radio in the 90s

For me you is their greatest song, far behind his 2nd, let me know what you think, and if Im wrong. About something
One part that was editted out of the video.. "Don't you push your drugs in my face, or I'll put you in your place, F*** you, i DON'T WANT IT NO MORE
I was hoping someone would mention this.
Yeah, I’ve heard this song so many times I immediately caught where the edit was. I was waiting to see what his reaction to that part was going to be.
I watched just to see his reaction to that line 💔
I agree, this is the exclamation point on the song.
It's funny how the FCC edited out the most positive powerful lyrics out instead of just blurping the f word out.
Fun fact:
This album was on Madonna's label Maverick. They were the 1st band Madonna signed to her label.
Never knew much about the band but always like this album. That’s a very interesting and strange fact. Thanks👍🏽
My uncle used to promote for Candlebox when he worked for Maverick. That's how i found out about them as a teenager in the 90's. One of my favorite bands.
I always thought the Madonna connection ultimately hurt their "street cred", which is a shame.

That would be The Culture Room, I saw them walk over to the venue from the bar as I was standing in line.
Yes sir. the Culture Room.
I saw them a few years ago at House of Blues & they kicked ass!
I heard they they had an album coming out this year with the original members.....
Candlebox didn’t have quite the longevity of many other 90s bands but they definitely had some real solid tunes. This being one of them. Having lost my brother to drugs i can definitely relate to their messages.

I’d say they have more longevity. Just weren’t nearly as mainstream
Not sure why you say they didn't have longevity. They're still playing and putting out records. Last one was released in 2016 and have one coming out in September this year. They unfortunately didn't get much airplay after their first CD.

Wrong , they are still going strong . Seen them live september 2019 and they were amazing as always .
Saw them a year 1/2 ago and they were awesome. Radio sleeps on a lot of good bands and good music. In my opinion Volbeat has been the best band in the last 20 years and the first four albums got no radio play in the US. Most people still don’t know who they are. Sorry for your loss!

Love this band! Blossom, cover me ✌️
"Cover Me" is a must! I've seen Candlebox in concert 7 times. I Absolutely love them. 😍
One of my favorites by them for sure
Candlebox has always been one of my faves that came out of the grunge era. They sound just as great live. Cover Me is another great one. Thanks for discovering them! Much love!
"Blossom", "Cover Me", and "Rain" are also must listens from this album.
Blossom Get your Man Tissues Handy. Just Saying
I like Arrow as well. I would play Happy Pills all the time back then
Rain!!! Live version!
Cover me
Candlebox opened for Rush at the LA Forum. I was an instant fan.
Yep. Candlebox's flame was short but bright. I miss this kind of rock & roll. Great reaction.
"Don't You" is my favorite from these guys. A real banger and they even performed it on David Letterman if you search for it.
That song goes HARD. It's my favorite of their more intense songs.
Their self titled debut is one of my favorite albums of all time💛
It was definitely solid. I think I have their first three albums... pretty good stuff but lost touch with them after....
I agree totally. I listened to that thing all the time.
Totally agree. Beginning to end a great album
Same here...along with shake your moneymaker
@@myoman1977 I'd put Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction as a top debut... Same with Rage Against the Machine, Body Count, Audioslave,... And yeah, that Black Crowes Album was legit as hell...still a top album of mine to listen too...along with its follow up.
more Candlebox!!! thank you! this is my second fave band of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen to "Spotlights" off their "Disappearing in Airports" album!

candlebox was the most underrated band i loved all of their work and it always had a deep meaning in everyone
That's the censored version... the ending verse says "Fuck you it's for You!!!" on the album version
You've done Far Behind and You, Cover Me needs to be on the list.
Definitely my favorite Candlebox song
👍 Love “Candlebox” ❤️❤️❤️
First concert I ever went to was candlebox. Love this song!
Mine was Poe and Gravity Kills!
I remember sitting around the lunch table at age 13 with my buddies. We thought these guys were posers or just trying to be Alice In Chains. God we were dumb kids. These guys are legit.
Thanks Mel!! 🙌✊. Cover Me, Blossom, and Rain are also good... trying to think of a couple others slip my mind. Thanks for keeping great music alive Mel! 💯👏😎
Rain and Cover Me next!
Hey, Madonna’s record company at the time signed Candlebox, along with Alanis Morriset and Michelle Branch. MDNA sure had an ear for talent. 👍🏻
So much attention is given to the big 4 out of Seattle but this reminds me how many other great bands were formed by kids from there in the 80’s and 90’s. Candle box, presidents of the USA, Mudhoney, Death Cab, Sleater Kinney (Oly!) and others I’m surely missing!
The Murder City Devils
The Gits, Tad, Green River, The Screaming Trees, Mad Season, Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Seaweed, MXPX, Hole, Vendetta Red, The Schoolyard Heroes...
Especially that first one. The Gits were BADASS. Fuck that murdering cabbie.

One of the most underrated bands of the 90’s. Candlebox were incredible. Great songs. Check you Miss You from their 2008 album. Talk about deep lyrics…..
Don't forget "Cover Me" and "Stand."
... and Arrow...

Thank you for making me 15 again. I would listen to this cd on repeat for hours. Haven't heard these songs in years.
I’m impressed how you totally understand this music, 👍
“Rain” by Candlebox is a must. It may be their best song ever.
I'm also fond of "Blossom".
I love every song on that CD. 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
And Lucy, Bitches Brewin, How Does It Feel, Change, No Sense

Another great Candlebox song! Keep em coming. 🖤🤘
"Cover Me", "Change", & "No Sense" are all worth checking out. Their debut album was loaded!
All their catalogues pop up in my head. Do cover me. And then Arrow
On the album version of this song, he screams: F*CK YOU!" at the addiction. Powerful moment. You should just go ahead and do the Candlebox trifecta: "Cover Me"
YES! “Cover Me” is another great one! Candlebox is one of my favorites! 👍
Thank you for bringing back the 90 memories 😊😊😊😊
I love that you found Candlebox, they saved one of the best for last
"he calls home"
these guys were the opening act for a Rush concert I went to....a pleasant surprise
Saw them at the US Air Arena in DC on that ture. AWESOME. Still have the CD.
Such a good song. As young as they were they really have such a way of conveying pure emotion.
They still are amazing
Rain is another great tune by Candlebox. It is a great mix of Blues and Rock.
My dad took me and my brothers to see Candlebox when we were very tiny, I barely remember it. What I do remember is this two-track cassette that he got from the show that we jammed for my entire childhood. This song and Far Behind were on it and we’d blare it in the truck and scream it.

Saw these guys in 2007 in New Orleans. I was right in front of the stage and they were amazing. This is one of my favorite songs.
Keep 'em coming Jamel! Also check out "Lucy", peace out ✌✌🎶🎶
yes, Lucy is their best stuff imo
Nobody has reacted to Cover Me or Blossom!?!? We need to get Candlebox more love on reaction channels. LEAD THE WAY, JAMAL!
My favorite song from one of the most underrated 90's band. I saw them live twice and they were great.
Please do Cover Me!!!!
Great selections. Love CandleBox. Brings me back to my younger years!!
49 and in tears as I recall my wasted life. This song hits some of us hard.
Another great song by Candlebox. Love it.
The 3/4 time signature of this song makes it even more unique. A hidden gem right here.
This is a great song which many people don't know but should. Rock on!
Candlebox opened for RUSH on the Roll the Bones tour. I saw them at the Centrum at Worcester. Never heard a song by them. They put on a great show.
Candlebox was great..! wish they had done more....
Anything Candlebox!! Love it!! Love the time signature in this tune!! 👍
Saw them in Houston in the early '90s. The Flaming Lips opened. Ended up that we were in the same hotel and got to meet them both the next morning. Freaking epic!❤
Cover me is great too
Yes!!! They’re so underrated too! Glad you listened to them!!!

Thank you Mel for keeping great music alive.
This band is so uniquely great. Very underrated. "A Stones Throw Away" is one of my favorites by Candlebox.
I saw them in 2017 at the sls which is the Sahara now,they played at the pool for komp radio stations in Vegas for the end of summer kegger party . This was the last song and at the end the singer was leaving and I got a high five as I was at the base of the stairs of the stage. Very cool band!
I'm glad you got around to reacting to Candlebox. They are my top tier bands ever. I've been going to loads of their concerts over the years. In fact, I'm seeing them in September when they come to Nashville! Kevin is awesome to hang out with.
They have many many good ones spread throughout all their albums, but 'Miss You' is one of my favorites cause it's about his dad who was in WWII.
One of my most favorite songs ever! Thx for covering Jamel
Candlebox is so underrated. I love them so much
Just discovered you! Love your take on it. I have candlebox best of in my car and I listen to You on repeat.
If you loved them you’re going to love foo fighters the pretender,Pearl Jam release, offspring gone away, u2 with or without you. There’s a mile long list of epic songs that speak and resonate within your soul.
LOVE this song! I saw them live, back in 1994.
Omg I'm so glad to see you react to this. This is my era. I love this music. Thank you ❤
Fantastic choice.
Great song . Great lyrics.. that was the cut version
Yeah the ending sticks a little harder in the uncut version
This song is powerful. Still one of my favorites today.
You should hear the "explicit" version. They cut out a whole verse near the end.Good to see you again
You absolutely have to do "Cover Me"... still gives me chill after all these years with just the first few notes. Candlebox is one of the most underrated rock bands from the early 90s. They're great live..so much energy. Arrow, Simple Lessons ,Blossom and it's alright are some other good ones.
Jamal✌️💖...another great song....crank it up brother🎤🎤🎤🎤
YES. More Candlebox Please. Vulgar Before me and Rain, Please
Thank you!!!! This, Far Behind, and Blossom were great songs!!!

Martin said he went to see Midnight Oil in concert one night and their singer, Peter Garrett, forever changed his trajectory.
Jamal, if you dug Candlebox's two anti-drug tracks, then definitely seek out 'Change,' 'Cover Me,' 'Simple Lessons,' and 'It's Alright.'
Was hoping you would be playing this song 😃🤘

Incredible musicians..live they were even better
Found Candlebox when they opened up for Rush at the Anaheim Pond. Blew my mind!
Candlebox wow always love em
They were a Seattle band but always got witten off as a grunge bandwagon act, they had some great jams!
One of the best albums from the 90’s, possibly one of the best ever. Yeah. They had some jams.
@@jimmymac4559 Heck yeah man, super underrated for sure!
From what I saw- they were highly appreciated by hot chicks in the NW .
Their drummer is downright awesome!!!
There were a bunch of albums from this era that were awesome from the beginning to the end, this was one of them. Every song was cool
The two songs you and far behind are favs. Ty for your reaction👍
More from Candlebox please! Thanks Jamel😉
Their song Seasons is so beautiful!!!
Damn your breakdowns are so spot on ! Thank you Jamel
Saw Candlebox open for Rush in the 90’s. Really good show, they sounded amazing!
So cool to hear you break down the music that changed my life growing up! Great reaction Little Brother! ❤️🇨🇦
