Ross Childress is one of those rare musicians whose guitar is an extension of his will. Collective Soul has simply never been the same since he was kicked out. 😕
Well Collective Soul will probably never have both Shane and Ross back in the band , but at least another Georgia favorite: The Black Crowes are now reunited again 😁 ( with brothers Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson only ) hmmm, looks like their original drummer Steve Gorman and guitarists Marc Ford and Bassists Johnny Colt are no longer coming back , how about if Collective Soul's former musicians join the Black Crowes in 2020 ? Chris on lead vocals , Rich on lead guitar, Ross on rhythm guitar, Shane on drums and John Frusicante from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on bass!!! 😍 the NEW BLACK CROWES , but the current Collective Soul in 2020
Yeah and eds life will never be the same because Ross destroyed his marriage, it kinda had to happen tbh. No way in hell would I stay in a band with the guy that had an affair with my wife.
@@dudeman5303 Yeah, there were some pretty strong rumors pointing to that - I don’t think it had ever been officially confirmed (?). If true, there’s no way around how f’d up that is. In any event, that whole mess was really unfortunate… CS hasn’t been nearly as good since then.
Ross Childress, their guitarist is pretty incredible. He incorporates both the chunky drop D heavy and blends awesome melodies without a hitch. He also has an impeccable taste in guitars too!
Collective Soul should of kept Ross around, despite personal reasons for his leaving the band after 2002. Hes a good guitar player and excellent performer.
i recorded this on VHS the day it aired. i was blown away by how good Ross was. he completely carries this song even tho it only has 3 chords. he brings it to life. fuckin kick ass.
I don't like your 3 chord synonym. Every hip-hop song on earth has 2 beats and they all sound flat. Give me and my boys 3 chord's and a drummer that doesn't need a double kick and I'll explain to you why I hate everything but rock 😉
Very true. The original line up is what I grew up to in the 90’s. Seemed like the CS sound changed so much once they all kept just Changing and dropping out. I stopped CS collecting albums after 2004.
It's funny because he is wicked technical if you break it down. He does a lot of little stuff that he adds in between that no one notices. He adds random rakes and harmonics.
@DazedWithJohnny Exactly. What an asshole. He made Ed go through so much unnecessary pain. And he caused strain on Ed's baby Lindsey, who had divorced parents at the age of 3 already. So unfair
@@kane703 I mean he was good at spicing the music up, if you look at what Ross has done since getting kicked out he has NOT done very well. He can't write catchy songs to save his life, he's great if someone else writes the songs and he can just add some nice textures and hooks but he really isn't capable of doing it himself. Ed is definitely the superior songwriter by FAR. It was nice getting the both of them on a single track I won't deny that, their albums were great and I won't lie I'm not a big fan of their music past a certain period but they still get by unlike Ross.
As others have commented, Ross was such a big part of the Collective Soul magic. He always came up with interesting fills/riffs/solos, and was a captivating presence on stage. I would love to see Ed forgive him and bring him back into the fold. There's more music to be made
Collective Soul wrote a song called Forgiveness :) hahaha, why doesnt Ed Roland practice what he preaches in his music?? Forgive the guitar player who fucked your EX WIFE , keep in mind
Random Rants of Ryan doubt Ross will ever rejoin unless something happens between him and ed's ex wife. Which I don't see happening. If Joel and shave could rejoin I'd like to see that honestly.
Being a band mate in mojomoji with ROSSand SHANE I. Can say this. They are both the sweetest guys you will ever meet. Humble. Down to earth. Have a lot of love and appreciation for thier fans. I consider them great friends aside of playing music with them. I do hope as a fan also that our project could lead COLLECTIVE SOUL to a reunion with ROSS and SHANE. Life is too short to hold grudges. Let love ❤️ rule!!!!!
It's not a rumor. Ross ended up married to Ed's ex wife for a brief minute. There is a video of Ed going off on a fan who was saying they wanted Ross back and he said that he broke up his family and if he wanted to see Ross go watch him to karaoke
This must have been recorded not long before Ross left the group in 2001, under whatever circumstances. Enjoyed the guitar parts that he brought to the CS sound. He could bring it live and made it look almost effortless.
Shame about what happened between Ed and Ross, but their sound was with Ross and left with him, he was unique to this band, Ed's little brother isn't even playing the guitar here.
Daniel Hartin this was in October 2000 right when Blender was released. I saw them that month in Ottawa, Canada. Ross left the band around August or September 2001.
Little known fact: before this performance, someone backstage stole the shirt sleeves of two of the band members. They weren't sure if they should still play, but Leno convinced them that the show must go on and so they performed sans-sleeves.
In the 80's we were Tastee Freeze guys in Stockbridge, Ga. Awesome to see this video. They still rock and they still have a great guitar player named Jesse Triplett. Check them out if you ever get the chance.
The reason why rock is not faring well these days is because of today's youth love of crappy contrived bands. One Direction being one of many that use auto tune! Google "one direction uses autotune" that will put things into perspective for those who doubt. -digest
This was recorded on a VCR in mono mode. I recorded this episode in stereo, and I know that Dean did indeed play... Very. Basic. Chords. Dean Roland = eye candy for the ladies. He never really learned how to play, and Ed probably doesn't have the heart to boot him.

Damn that tapping part Ross did was so tasteful in the context of the song. Really nice!
I miss seeing that line-up!! CS for life!!!
Very true. The original line up is what I grew up to in the 90’s. Seemed like the CS sound changed so much once they all kept just Changing and dropping out. I stopped CS collecting albums after 2004.
Me too they was the Best!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Ross so incredibly bad ass on this song. One of my fav solo's ever. You don't need to technical to create an amazing solo.
It's funny because he is wicked technical if you break it down. He does a lot of little stuff that he adds in between that no one notices. He adds random rakes and harmonics.
Such a talented yet underrated band. Great performance. Love their style !
The only band that could always rock out leather pants no matter how old they get!
jajajajaja
my god!!! Ross its an amazing musician
My god Childress is a beast on that guitar. Oh how this band misses him.
@DazedWithJohnny Exactly. What an asshole. He made Ed go through so much unnecessary pain. And he caused strain on Ed's baby Lindsey, who had divorced parents at the age of 3 already. So unfair
@phantomdaRk Actually the band sounded a hell of a lot better with Ross in it. So musically they miss him a lot. Personally not so much.
Yeah the band does NOT miss Ross. That is for certain. The music does, it'll survive but Ross definitely as a great part of the music but fvck Ross

god i miss Ross that solo was nasty goose bumps everytime i hear this
Ross on a different level👌
That lead solo gave me goosebumps

Problem is Ed had a daughter from that marriage and when you have kids there's a problem
And I agree they haven't been the same since Ross left.
neo robertson but would love to see him and Shane rejoin.
What exactly happened between Ross and Ed? Ross slept with Ed's wife?
Collective Soul wrote a song called Forgiveness :) hahaha, why doesnt Ed Roland practice what he preaches in his music?? Forgive the guitar player who fucked your EX WIFE , keep in mind
Superb guitar.....Ross please come back.
Bunty Kumar hes not coming back.
RC really ranks up there with the greats!!
I'm glad that i wasn't the only one who noticed this guy's guitars. I love his sound. Probably one of my favorite guitarists.
Can't get enough of this version.
Big fan of Shanes drumming style and technique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
02:27 The Madness begin... Long Live The Ross!
Random Rants of Ryan doubt Ross will ever rejoin unless something happens between him and ed's ex wife. Which I don't see happening. If Joel and shave could rejoin I'd like to see that honestly.
Shane my bad.
Those guys all grew up within a mile of each other? With that much talent? That’s incredible.
Ross was Collective Soul.

Bryan Thompson can you tell them they are still loved by CS fans? Good luck with your band! I bet you guys are awesome.
Ross is an incredible musician!!
Bryan Thompson Ross and Shane are so underrated, wish ed would forgive Ross.
Troy McLure 4sure Troy
Bryan Thompson thanks. How are you guys doing? You still playing together? Hope it’s going well. Best wishes for 2019.
Ross is terribly underrated!!!
More like overrated. Did you forget he fucked Ed's wife knowing they had a baby together, too?
@@RetroSoulGirl What's that got to do with being underrated or overrated as a guitar player! Nothing.
Retro Reginald that has absolutely nothing to do with his abilities as a musician.
@@RetroSoulGirl Yeah you need to park that one mate. He is damn good guitarist no doubt about it
Never knew Luke Skywalker played guitar!
Sir Ross' hairdo was almost like Mark Hamill's in STAR WARS IV: A NEW HOPE (1977), only bit curly. 😊
he looks veary similar
Benoît Placide, Ross Childress was Collective Soul's lead guitarist. The band led me to the genesis of my passion for rock music.
Understand your feeling for this music ^^
that guitar solo kick ass
ay!! recuerdo mi adolecencia con esta cancion
i miss the old songs
Ed looks like Bon Jovi hair, miss his long locks. Ross you are and will always be one of the greats!
Ross Wah technique and tone are just great
Ed is still awesome 👍, especially the theme of the song
ROSS is the man!!!
Great Ross!!
ed is awesome!!!
This footage is awesome. Such an underrated song. Wish Dean's guitar wasn't muted (??)..
God Ross solo was so kick ass
Had he not've slept with Ed's wife he'd still be around in the group
Gio Trapani what???
Gio Trapani I never heard that rumor
It's not a rumor. Ross ended up married to Ed's ex wife for a brief minute. There is a video of Ed going off on a fan who was saying they wanted Ross back and he said that he broke up his family and if he wanted to see Ross go watch him to karaoke
@@ladyboomer1765 I’m guessing they were married for more than a minute. :)
am so in loved with this band
At 1:45 Ed is thinking...Dean, turn your fucking amp on.
2:25 - 2:55, Awesome!
Awesome is a good word but I'm going to say fking kick azz!!!
Ross Childress you rock !! 💙💙💙💙
Ross is amazing at guitar 💙♥️💙
I feel bad for Dean that his guitar is switched off, but it doesn't matter because Ross Childress is a beast that carries entire bands on his back.
Ross has a new band.. Two Broke kings...he sounds better than ever.
This must have been recorded not long before Ross left the group in 2001, under whatever circumstances. Enjoyed the guitar parts that he brought to the CS sound. He could bring it live and made it look almost effortless.
Childress. Just incredible.
I havent heard a wah sound that damn good since Thin Lizzy.
I love collective soul. From South Korea
Best song ever¡ Best version!
Electric light orgastra
Electric lior
dean's amazing air guitar😏😂
Such a friggin great band...
RIP Chyna.
It still bad ass
대박!!!
very cooll¡¡¡¡¡ graciassss :)
Ross Childess looks like Duff from Guns n Roses :)
Just watched these guys last night in st louis but they didn't play this song. One of my favorite by them but still was awesome show
the second guitar no sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!
second guitar never sound! easy way to be a rockstar! jajaja
Such a unique song
Damn sounds just like the album!
great guitar solo in the middle
YYEOWWWWWWW MY BOYS! Ill be seeing you in kansas in 11 days 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇😇
Without Ross they aren’t the same he wrote all the solos and riffs
Ross looks a little hung over or something, but he still delivers...big time!!!
Ah, the “Blender” era,
When they tried something fresh with the early 2000’s Japanese vibe.
Was something new for a change: takes me back…
The Best song 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Shame about what happened between Ed and Ross, but their sound was with Ross and left with him, he was unique to this band, Ed's little brother isn't even playing the guitar here.
He’s playing, but you can’t hear him. Forgot to turn his amp on I guess.
Two pretty brothers. 😍
Ross Childress... damned that tapping part
❤❤❤❤
2001....this must have been just before it all hit the fan with Ross.
Daniel Hartin this was in October 2000 right when Blender was released. I saw them that month in Ottawa, Canada. Ross left the band around August or September 2001.
I love CS. RIP Chyna
Aún en 2020 y con shine también

2:27 The Amazing Ross!
Ross rules!
The broadcasting seems was in stereo surround or something... this happens sometimes in SNL live shows
I'm not much for pop rock, but these guys are impressive.🤘
They're not pop rock fuck face
People are saying Dean wasn't even playing, were Will's bass or microphone even on? Feel like I can only hear Ed, Shane, and Ross haha
Dean should be a backing vocalist idk why he isn't he'd be good at it imo.
I can hear the bass. It's got a slight overdrive or other effect on it, kind of breaking up/rumbling.
On reff, unfortunatelly, the sound of Dean's guitar suddenly disappeared...
they're all good looking.just like me.😱
it worked sometimes just not when the chorus kicked in. he didnt seem to notice tho lol
wow men
Wow ross...
魂 ! ! ! ! ! TAMASHII,
You can tell there are absolutely no effects on his vocals here. Very dry. And reveals that he is indeed a badass singer.
Back in the good ol’ days when Chick Fil A wasn’t on every corner.
In the 80's we were Tastee Freeze guys in Stockbridge, Ga. Awesome to see this video. They still rock and they still have a great guitar player named Jesse Triplett. Check them out if you ever get the chance.

Dean seemed to become much more of a poser in 2001 compared to 1999 Woodstock.
After Ross left this band went in the toilet. He was their balls
This was recorded on a VCR in mono mode. I recorded this episode in stereo, and I know that Dean did indeed play... Very. Basic. Chords. Dean Roland = eye candy for the ladies. He never really learned how to play, and Ed probably doesn't have the heart to boot him.
believe it or not, it was recorded on a Hi-Fi stereo VCR in SP mode. it came from an antenna broadcast, not cable.
Lots of antenna broadcasts were.. dum dum dum... in mono.
Dean always looks like he’s just waiting for the gig to be over.
They turned Dean down?
Definitely not a boy band. These guys are an amazing band.
Dean isn't even playing. Hahahahahaha!
At the very beginning of the song he couldn't even get the timing down
Ross.....
