Unplugged: Crossfade, "So Far Away"

Ripped from VH1 before it was apparently removed.
Just wanted to make the video more readily available than it was.
Edit: Added subtitles. (4/22/23)

[@RockFeed]

One of the most underrated rock bands

[@bobtv7397]

TRUE THAT! I wish they'd put out more hits but they stopped for some reason 😣 definitely could be opening for bands like breaking benjamin, ffdp, Three days grace.

What was the song that made you a Crossfade fan

[@mrshallowsun]

@@JohnWayne-vf5bs I think either colors or the deep end was the one that really sucked me in

[@JohnWayne-vf5bs]

@@mrshallowsun yeah colors was the first song that I heard of them by the what do you think would of happened if Tony byroads stayed in crossfade

[@mrshallowsun]

@@JohnWayne-vf5bs I’ve always wondered that actually. I tend to believe Ed was the true mastermind behind most of the songs so I don’t know that things would have gone much differently than they did. As far as their second album a lot of those songs were just redone from a previous album/albums when they were under a different name (maybe you already knew this) so I think in general even though I absolutely love falling away it does feel slight uninspired using those old songs so in a way it’s not that surprising it didn’t attract general attention and more so just crossfade and rock fans. Mitch did have quite a few spotlight vocal sections on it but their voices (ed and Mitch have less contrast between them than Ed and Tony’s. I don’t know that that fact would have changed the success of the album. I’ve pondered crossfade a history current status and what could have been A LOT lol they’re one of my absolute favorites I really hope they could make more music and if Tony hooked back up with them I’d probably turn into a screaming fan girl just because of the og lineup

@@Mr-Jakeveryone always says that but I haven’t heard anything lol

@@dogeboss9662 All comes down to how specific one's taste is, and how willing one is to branch off from it- one would find sparse selection for new songs in the Rockabilly, Ska Punk, New Wave, or Sunshine Pop genres for a few examples. Personally, I'm perfectly happy jumping between songs as far back as the 40's to songs released within the last couple of years and spanning several genres.

Its really difficult to find their live stuff in high quality and the sad part is that their live stuff was the best

No worries. lol Unfortunately, the best I could do was screencap the video off VH1 with 320kbps 48kHz audio through OBS when it was still live to keep it as close as possible to the original upload's quality. Had no luck downloading it back then though.

[@everaljamz628]

Unplugged, but everything is plugged in. lmao.

[@Mr-Jak]

Well, "unplugged" is an acoustic performance of a song originally done with electric instruments, so it's mic'd, but since not directly plugged in, it's "unplugged." Something like "live acoustic session" would work too, but is a bit longer. lol

[@instynct02]

the intro on the official song and the tune and tone it hits is what makes the song work. These acoustic and live renditions just lose everything from the get go since he for some reason changes the tune and the notes.

[@EscapingThralldom]

Damnit! The singing was badass. His voice was going out yet he destroyed the song. BUT the bassist bro come on. Harmonies were funky and I think the bass itself was out of tune. The vocal performance tho outweighs it.
