Days of the New - 04 Shelf In The Room - Live 1998-02-28 Seattle, WA

[@jakek3232]

These guys are seriously underrated. Especially for their first album. I was only 2 at the time when it came out but I remember my father playing it a lot when I was younger. I could be wrong but to me I think this band came out with a unique sound that hadn't been heard of before. Yeah a lot of bands made unplugged albums but they didn't combine somewhat heavy sound with acoustic instruments. Such an amazing band.

[@rsaldivar8]

Yeah they really new how to make acoustic rock, seriously

[@jrjubach]

Jake K Right on, man. Well said. This band freaking rocked. I call the genre “heavy wood” haha.

[@drewelainemckenna3250]

Couldn't agree more. Talent like Travis Meeks is peerless

[@uptownstrength650]

You forgot Alice in chains. They sound alot like them.

[@Iktius]

IMHO the third album is superior

[@charliefarson1362]

One of the coolest acoustic riffs ever.

[@aaronwelch5946]

master of the acoustic sound,,,,,

[@collinknell5737]

Too bad he wasted it, 90’s were some of the best times for music.

[@heatherjo989]

Yup..why his nicknames mitro,dudes Insanely great on guitar.

[@brandmeow9014]

Personal demons are a sumbitch.....

[@taokenhanma2083]

I want to continue learning guitar again. I started learning acoustic guitar and guitar in general because of him and this song

[@brancobenjamincenteno2709]

Fuck yes

[@rickremington1750]

So very sad this young man who I feel had tremendous talent and rotten drugs took him down.I was always a huge fan of Travis and Days of the new was one of my top picks from the 90’s

[@kennethward4985]

Double edged sword, he might not have been this good without the drugs.

[@rickoshea3666]

@@kennethward4985it’s not PEDs what an absurd statement

[@collinknell5737]

The 90s produced some of the best music ever made. I remember when this came out I was in 8th grade listening to 107.7 the End in Seattle. It’s to bad Travis went down the route he did, he could have continued to be successful for many years to come. His voice, style and gift set him apart.

[@tap22]

collin knell i was in 8th grade too, went to Chinook Middle school in Bellevue and used to leave the End on all night in my room

This live version is outstanding!

[@laurelwood791]

Travis was thee new voice. Destined to be a legend. He had it all. Say NO to the drug. Glad and grateful hes still with us tho. Thank god.

[@greasebob]

I didnt give these guys a chance back in the day, but once I heard this song, I did an about-face on them. One of my favorite alternative rock (thats what they called it back in the 90s, lol) songs of all time. Travis was a genius.

[@andyhartford5223]

I love it when he raises his voice. It's a higher pitch than the original and sounds killer.

[@rotaryrebel]

The "Intro" is the first half of the song "Orch of the Medium" recorded Live Sept 24, 2003 in Flint, Michigan.

[@sebastian272007]

So many words to describ how awesome DOTN is. Travis was heart n soul of them and still mind boggling how great he was just at 18yrs old!!! Good luck Travis ;) I am 5 yrs 3 months 6 days clean. To him and all, if you have addiction issues, I know it sounds like a broken record but if I did it, so can you. Its an everyday battle with enablers, reasons to go back but there are even more reasons to stay clean.... its just the battle to PROVE, BELIEVE in YOURSELF that YOU should be clean.... Damn right its not easy but REMEMBER, YOU CAN n the most important thing holding you back.... YOURSELF .....

[@ICLight412]

[@belladeball7747]

seriously been in love with Travis Meeks and his talents since 98 and have been praying for for him , and never giving up on him and waiting for more till the day. . I did the same for Layne Staley too.

[@trikefearson]

Bella De Ball yeah I so badly want him to make a real come back and give us his talents again.

[@REDH89]

Bella De Ball...i am 28, was a child when grunge hit. i named my son layne in 2011. 10yrs after. as of now we have lost scott weiland and last week chris cornell. 😢. such a shame. its too bad travis stopped living his life (metaphorically) in 2000ish. such a great young talent lost to meth. unfortunatly he will never be the same musically as he was at 17,18,19.

[@dustyrogers427]

Me to he is phenomenal singer and sexy af

[@dustyrogers427]

And Layne Staley will allways be the best in my book. But Travis is not far behind

Reminds me of being 15 in 1997 . I was in the ninth grade and this song came out alot on the radio. My best friend end up buying the cassette tape . Good ole times.

[@geosperspective]

They sound amazing live!

Man that was a great vid. Seeing the old school line-up and Travis' voice really came out good.

[@gastonmiorin]

my favorite song in 2023 , Amazing Talent !amazing song !

[@retrorich8351]

Try this: Turn it up really loud, sit in front of the speaker, without your back supported, then wait..., for his first scream, it will physically push you backwards...very powerful vocals.

[@SurfingBullDog]

Do I do this with or without weed?

[@LIESSUCK69]

Found a kid in his early 20's who absolutely nails this. Amazing. He's on youtube. Same power. He sings Chris Cornell as good or better and I've been a musician for 36 years so I do not bullshit.

So talented..And will always be one of my favourites. Has been for about 20 years.

Travis' voice is like a mix between Layne Staley, Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland and James Hetfield.

When this came out I lived in Nashville and you weren’t a real burnout driving a Ford pinto and grungy clothes smelling like cigarettes in first period at high school if you didn’t have this album. It was freaking magnificent.

[@ЯрославДоброцветов]

Nice one, thank you !

[@rotaryrebel]

@vendettaAOF - In this video he playing a Takamine at the time he also played Tacoma guitars as well - currently Travis plays Taylor Guitars exclusively, and has certain models that are used for certain songs. (i.e. He uses one of his Taylor Koa's for "The Down Town", a Taylor Jumbo for "Dancing with the Wind", etc etc.) The Taylor acoustic guitars really seam to do an amazing job with vibrant and accurate low end.

Days of the new are so good, and i'm glad travis is now sober. Also By those occasional, seether-esque screams he does, he could also make a good singer for a hard rock band. Just an observation. Rock on Travis...

I saw these guys live at Hooters Fest 1998 on Breckenridge Lane in Louisville Kentucky. Technically wasn't even old enough to be at the show but an older friend and co-worker snuck me in. Little did I know that that would probably be my only time to ever see them live. One of the best nights of my life. Because when I took her home later and brought my guitar out and played everything note-for-note, she was revved up and ready to go😊
