Soul Asylum - Black Gold (Official HD Video)

[@mikestevens5115]

Asylum is the kind of band that many don’t appreciate til years later. They are a well rounded group of musicians. They keep it simple but very profound in many ways.

[@notyetskeletal4809]

Right on dude.

[@soshimo]

Oh, I definitely appreciated them at the time. It was one of the most played CDs in my collection, and there was some fine CDs in there. I saw them in concert in 92 at the Roxy with STP. Then later I saw them at San Diego State University OAT (it's called something else now) in '93 with Screaming Trees and Spin Doctors.

Soul Asylum helped me through my adolescence. I honestly think I wouldn't of made it without bands like them, Collective Soul, Alice in Chains, Primus, Soundgarden, the list goes on. But they are way more influential than people give them credit for. Dave Pirner (sic) is unbelievable. Way underrated

[@Sam_the_Sham_and_the_Pharoahs]

@@supernovavideoz Right. The 90s for me were some of the best times. I had some tragedies. I lived a pretty rough life. But honestly I wouldn't trade it for anyone else's because it brought me here. You don't see the heart and soul in today's music. Honestly half the time I don't even know what the fuck their talking about. Still trying to figure out wtf a "fetty wap" is. Is that like a derogatory term for an Italian celebration or??? I feel so old and in the way. Lol. In my neighborhood using terms like "wap" would get you chased and or beat by some of our more olive skinned street mates. Now it's just a term used like as an acronym. I'm completely lost in 2021.

I used to see Dan and Dave a ton when I lived in Madison, Wi. They used to just randomly show up and play in the student union. I remember they were very down to earth and humble. This was the late 80's before they really became famous. They always were very surprised when the audience loved songs like this. Run Away Train and this song, they were tweaking way before it was released so the student union ( and I'm assuming others), was really a testing ground for songs like this. It was a difficult time in my life but I knew almost every weekend I could see Dan and Dave (for free btw), so that really pulled me through.
