finger eleven - First Time

[@mr.starscream]

"The greyest of blue skies" is amazing, from start to the end. Depressive, dark, aggressive and nu metal.

[@patrickgrondines]

i think tip and the greyest of blue skies are my favorite finger 11 albums

[@BusinessZeus]

Tip's better

[@kingbertron420]

i remember like it was yesterday i was 15 working at safeways after getting my first paycheck ever i went to future shop and bought this album and listened to it on repeat playing perfect dark on n64 those were the days thanks finger eleven! so much nostalgia

[@patrickgrondines6781]

i miss future shop

[@leestaggers2583]

I was 15 or 16 when this album came out. I remember seeing this video on MTV2 then going to the mall to buy this CD at FYE. I would be hanging out in my room with my stereo cranked up blasting this album and Tip nonstop. My mom would constantly yell at me to "turn down that racket" then, after about 15 minutes later, I would turn it back up again lol I sure do miss those days.

[@CarParts08382]

The 90's were badass🤙

[@blackspot4194]

Yea dude I was 14 and bought this cd at HMV I'm in my 30s now lol time flies...still a album I play alot. 🤘😎🤘

[@deanestrada7040]

This is such an awesome recollection of a memory! Love it!

[@loversjustkeeploven]

i fucking understand the video! its the fact that he has his heart broken and he was acting like a kid. and he felt the world was after him. Another girl came along and healed him but his family thought that she would just hurt him in the end so they get her out of his life. but at the same time. it feels like the first time all over again. because he is now free but yet, right back where he started.

[@chadj6575]

That melody....man o man. This melody was ahead of its time.

[@anthonyplati4496]

Most underrated rock song of all time.

[@JediMentat]

Hell no. But it's ok

[@DestroyerTV]

But it kind of is. It was just recently awarded that title officially

[@kingtut8339]

The DBZ movie brought me here once again…..I remember I was 14 first hearing this song now I’m 33‼️

Same! Good memories

Same but 36 here

[@Aiur]

Solid selection for the movie, this is unitonically one of the best alt records of the era, Tip as well

[@FalconStrikeGames]

What dbz movie lol

[@7shinta7]

One of these songs that keep popping up in your head from time to time and then it's awesome to give it a listen again even after all those years.

[@M0rket]

I just spent five minutes trying to remember the band name. Of course the title was also gone. I still remember the lyrics, though!

[@AWF1000]

The early 2000s where everyone wore baggy pants or jeans.. don't worry, I was that crowd. It was very post-grunge style and I was into that. The Greyest of the Blue Skies still stands today as my all time favourite album. Every song on that album could have been a single.

[@drake0074]

The alternative scene of that era was fantastic! So many good bands.

[@BurroBlanco-i5b]

Facts....rappers, skaters, ravers, skids...all baggy

[@chanellparfait7893]

Yes!!! I first heard them getting a free sample cd from the music store.

I'm sure everyone can agree we all miss when finger eleven was good.

[@TaichouShinobi]

Still my favorite song from Finger Eleven after many years... this track kind of makes me emotional.

[@carlpiscioneri2842]

I feel you

[@Rockillswich26]

Just got this album along with 'Tip.' There are some of the best guitar riffs you'll ever hear on both albums

[@greenbackz]

if by best u mean easy to play by even a novice guitar player like me then ya.. you are correct lol.

[@jacinto1477]

[@televisedpork7993]

I miss hanging out with this band.

[@Solitaryman38]

I used to watch this video on MTV-X that was an awesome channel all rock music no rap (crap) no stupid shows like Jersey Shore or Cribs or The Real World. Just straight up Rock. I miss those days.

[@garethnewton7057]

I was SOOO pissed when they turned MTV-X into MTV Jamz.

[@moonman908]

I miss mtvx... I'll never forget the day I turned it on and it was just gone... Replaced with rap. I called my cable company and yelled at them. Worst day ever...

[@patrickgrondines7997]

i was about 6 when MTV-X got shut down

[@p1x3lb1n4ry]

It's nu metal

[@leestaggers2583]

@@p1x3lb1n4ry I always thought their earlier albums had more of an alternative metal sound but I guess that could still kinda fall under the nu metal umbrella.

the greyest of the blue skies is the best album of Finger Eleven for sure!

[@patrickgrondines-t2b]

This is what got me into metal basically. I heard this and drag you down on the local radio station and I was immediately sold. I'm 33 now and make my own metal and I owe it all to these guys

[@kirkh4205]

Love this song. Every time I would listen to this album when it was new, nobody knew who it was.

[@DandDInc]

I remember getting this as a single when I worked for Chapters online. I couldn’t stop listening to it.

[@kudblythe]

I have always loved how into the music he gets. Some people say he acts stupid, or laugh at the way he acts, but I find it awesome! It really shows how in tune with his lyrics, and the rest of the music he is.

[@TheFourthSeal]

That bass though! Absolutely killer.

[@xturtlexohx]

[@ThePhysicalReaction]

finger eleven was the first concert I went to at 16. It was a small venue in a small Canadian city. I was blown away by the energy and how loud a real concert was. my mind was blown. The songs still bring me back to the simpler times. Great for getting that pump at the gym.

[@nickgrimsley2416]

The nostalgia you get from old songs is amazing newer songs just don't have the feel of songs like these

Always been my favorite Finger Eleven tune. Wish the lead guitarist would still electrical tape his arms, so bad ass!

[@def-c_616]

Music Video summarized There is a suburban kid who is not treated well by his brothers & peers, some humanoid made from mud comes to life from his depression caused by abuse, the humanoid despite her intentions is visually unappealing, & coupling that with her older looking age, she is determined to be a stranger danger to the child, & by the end the cycle continues after somebody who could have potentially helped him is chased out/vanquished.

[@valnet98]

This album was in my top 3 (couldn't decide between them) albums in the 90's and then well into my adult years. It's still pretty far up there. The Greyest of Blue Skies was also the time period it got me through :p.

[@avedic]

Holy shit....I haven't heard this in over a decade. o__O I just turned 31...and was hugely into nu-metal in highschool/college. It's funny...I've completely changed my taste in music(my favorite bands are Animal Collective and Yeasayer) but the nu-metal genre will always hold a place in my teenage heart. Is it cheesy? You bet. But despite the absurdity of it all...there's still some interesting musical ideas the genre explored. I remember loving this song...learning how to play it in my dorm room. I remember it so well because, as I was working out the guitar tab, I noticed the TV out of the corner of my eye...showed NYC smoldering under a giant dust cloud. That was an interesting day.....

[@spicy734]

Hell no dude. Im 31 too and Ive never moved on. Nu metal is still alive and well and dare I say even better now that the flash of MTV is gone.
