Saw these guys in a bizarre concert in Columbus in about 2003.. it was Sponge, 7 Mary 3, Spin Doctors, and Gin Blossoms in a fenced in parking lot, all for $15.. I would have paid $15 to see each of these bands individually.. and all were great
The thing that I like about this song is his voice. Also, the bass part destroys my shit. And additionally, I think it's just a very well-written song, and the guitar parts are outstanding.
Seven Mary Three really did have that post grunge Stone Temple Pilots / Pearl Jam sound , kind of :) they rocked back in the 1990s , the music had real substance and meaning
I thought Rock Crown was a fantastic album. I love 7M3 - their music changed (maybe mellowed) a little bit from where they started out. Up to them as to what music they make, I guess.
The only thing that I think the studio version (aka the major label version) trumps most live performances of this song is the harmony backing vocal on the "I have becoooommme..." line. Sounds so succinct in the album version.
I disagree. He tries too hard in the second half of the song by singing the higher harmony parts, leaving the other guitarist to just sing the lead vocal harmony from the record but in a softer tone. Additionally, the other guitarist is also playing a tighter rhythm version of everything the singer is playing to make him sound good. Basically the singer is not being genuine, he's actually being a bit of a controlling narcissist here.
first song i ever learned on a guitar, never had a lesson even to this day never a lesson and this is the only song that i've learned that i never forget :) it's just drilled in my brain great rock band and badass heavy song \m/
I love this song, this is an amazing performance. I was 8 years at that time, aww the good days, you can hardly find a band these days that are as good as the bands in the 80's and 90's.
That twangy sound your hearing in this song, is the delightful signature sound of that Tele that Jason Ross is playing. Not many people would pull off a song like this on a Telecaster (which is typically used for twangy country tones).
I hear more distortion than twang. I think you are listening with your eyes cause he's playimg a Tele...there is nothing twangy about a distorted Tele sound my friend...
This was the best live band I have ever seen. Saw Metallica and other greats they were the best no joke they were just as good live if not better than their CD.
I remember seeing this band in panama city beach at the beach club la vela, To this day it is one of the best shows I have seen! They were, at the time, too big to play there but honored their agreement to play as it was booked before they got big. In my opinion the best rock album from a 90's band.(Amerian Standard)
True, but rock music used to be much more popular than it is today. At least, the more raw side of rock. Nowadays, "rock" that the younger generation is into has little to do with dynamics in song structure, less to do with deep lyrical content, less experimentation in the studio, less genuine & authentic songwriting. It's a bunch of guys that "look good" singing about how their parents hate them and school sucks. granted, that always was too. But 90's and past was less whining and more serious.
Riding shotgun in the corvair with the top down listening to cumbersome and smoking cigs. Wish i could turn back time. (1998) junior in high school RIP Williams
i'm the biggest powerlifting, veteran from the hood you ever met. during this time i could deadlift 800lbs for reps. I never got a workout like this in rochester,ny catching all these crowd surfers for 45ms. never knew who 7mary3 was before that. great band, great crowd, great energy... great night. It was a singular experience
A song that came out way before it should have music like this nowadays is a dime a dozen and is very hard to find.. this is why i am into my 70s-2009 music.. mainly rock (basically anything MINUS POP COUNTRY cause pop country sucks ass and is remanufactured music) I sing this song at least twice a week in the karaoke circuit all over OKC
not too mention, while there was pop of course, there were a lot more of, i guess "power pop" type bands. Yes, madonna, cher, etc had quite a bit of airplay but it was pretty balanced out by the same crowd of moms and kids listening to matchbox 20, gin blossoms, goo goo dolls, etc. Those bands created their own music. Even pop used to be somewhat original and tolerable. Nowadays, it's all auto tune and pre-written songs by record producers & getting worse. That's bullshit if you ask me.
That JCM 800 had to be tearing people's heads clean off in the front row. Singer had the gain pushed pretty hard that day. Lots of clipping in the mid range
D. Scott Whitaker No stupid, in the Freaks and Geeks episode "Dead Dogs and Gym Teachers" Jason Segel's character Nick writes a song for Lindsey called "Lady L" and it sounds very similar to this one. Plus they look similar and happen to have the same first name, fool. "DERRRR ROSS ROSS ROSS DERRRRR" that's what you sound like.
Yeah, Cumbersome is off of their second album. They have six other albums.They may have "fallen off the face of the earth", but I still listen to em on a semi-regular basis.
Sitting in Rehab at the veterans hospital jamming out to this Jan 2024
I hope you get better Jason. You can do this!!
Keep up the hard work!
The VA has rehab?
Thank you for your service Sir. We have all felt cumbersome at times. My divorce anthem... Best to you .
Know that you are loved...respected...and appreciated for your service...
Back when bands sounded the same live as they did in the studio.
Truth
They still do but thats because nowdays they play a recording live too😂😂
The best band EVER for that is Rush,
but Seven Mary Three shows some respectable talent here in that regard.
Stone Temple Pilots sounded BETTER than their albums live all the way through the Shangri-la-De-Da tour.
Agree, miss it so much. Seen alot of live performances from many great artist!
One of the best rock singles of the mid 90s, by far.
Song still rocks in 2023. Timeless classic
"She wanted me less and Im wanting her more." That'd be it right there
Where every song on the radio reminds you of her.
He's singing some cosmic truth right there. ❤

This is one of those rare song that the lyrics and sound will always be a fresh sound. Amazing this song is 18 years old!
27 years old now! Crazy isn't it
@@DaveE1997 FAK! My comment is 9 years old...LOL
@@DaveE1997 actually you're both wrong. This song came out in 94, but they'd been performing it as early as 93. For all we know it's about to turn 30.
@@BigSmoke-bu6ib the bitter taste is cumbersome
song still kicking ass in 2023. Lyrics are true art
Gotta respect a singer who can rip hard on a guitar and still sing with power and emotion.
you mean power chords?
@@ProfessorShyguy he's not even playing most of the time, the other guy is literally there to make him sound good.
Dude is literally just doing one down stroke for each chord.
I was going through a breakup right about the time this song was on the radio regularly. It did kind of help in a bittersweet way.
reward for best 1000 yard stare goes to...........THIS GUY!!!

Check out Days of the New, I remember someone in the comments of one of their songs putting it this way: they're the grunge movement altogether.
@@Safetysweet I agree!!! Days of the new is an awesome band too !!!
@@Safetysweet they were so good! Too bad their lead singer fell to Meth.
These guys shit all over PJ imo.
how are these guys not bigger....this is real music
This album was great all the way through and they followed it up with nothing. That's why
Not yet..always hoping for another from them though
Hey, Marc, cool name =)
jeff mceachern I always thought so
I thought Rock Crown was a fantastic album.
I love 7M3 - their music changed (maybe mellowed) a little bit from where they started out.
Up to them as to what music they make, I guess.
This was back when awesome bands played on late night shows
one of my favorite 90s songs!! i love the complete album!!! greetings from Mexico!!
is this a fucking shampoo commercial??
Mindswirl21 Looks like Pantene Pro V to me. This is probably the cleanest looking grunge band ever.
oh yeah you said it!
The only thing that I think the studio version (aka the major label version) trumps most live performances of this song is the harmony backing vocal on the "I have becoooommme..." line. Sounds so succinct in the album version.
Scott Stapp before He transitioned into Creed...LOL!$ Either that or His twin brother..
PFFT..Scott Stamp wishes he sounded this good and was this badass
They are both from Orlando. I blame the mailman?
Mantis Models actually this is his brother
oh man i'm reminiscing good memories of the 90's music.......
Love this song, had the CD when it came out. Been a hot minute since seeing these guys, I had no idea Dawson Leary was the lead singer!
I have become Pau Gasol, to this world
Lmfao Pau Gasol!!! Can't unhear the shit now lol thanx bruh.
Lolllllll
gal gadot to this world
Lol good one
Badass song. I liked it the first time I heard it.
Miss bands like these from the 90s hard to find good music like this today I'm stuck in the 90s till I leave the Earth
young boy with talent Greta Van Fleet is more of a Rush/ Zeppelin sounding band but after I saw them I fell in love mate!
sometimes I watch this 20 times a week I have a connection with this dude
Janice Waldron huh? Why?
Janice Waldron Weird
Janice Waldron Did you have his baby or something?
Back in 1997 I was in the USMC stationed in Okinawa Japan. Me and a fellow Marine used to play guitars and jam out to this song!
Banana show... Semper civilian
Still gives me chills all these years later...epic.
GREAT SONG !! Hands down
Wow! the lead singer is very genuine. Great song.
I disagree. He tries too hard in the second half of the song by singing the higher harmony parts, leaving the other guitarist to just sing the lead vocal harmony from the record but in a softer tone. Additionally, the other guitarist is also playing a tighter rhythm version of everything the singer is playing to make him sound good.

Great song, singer kind of looks like a young Doug Gray
As a former Orlando drummer and vocalist, I was around when this band was tearing up the town in Lake Mary, such an awesome squad.
#ugottalisten2b4udie #SevenMary3 #nineties
There is a balance between two worlds
One with an arrow & a cross.
Regardless
of the balance life has become cumbersome
Growing up listening to the best music... priceless!!!
That’s the good thing. You knew what you were getting. The cd music was the exact same as when they played live
Things that are cumbersome: Your life, what I have become, and the bitter taste.
He looks alot different without his beard but I really like it.
I love this song... I never realized how much the lead singer looks like Jason Segel haha... 90s music is still the best... amazing stuff
If u don't like a song why do you even look at the video? SMH
first song i ever learned on a guitar, never had a lesson even to this day never a lesson and this is the only song that i've learned that i never forget :) it's just drilled in my brain great rock band and badass heavy song \m/

Some of the biggest rock musicians of all time used Telecasters lol what are you talking about?
I've seen Brad Whitford rip one up!
There are no rules in rock brother. Also if you set your amp correctly and or put different pickups in the guitar you can use a tele for anything.
A Telecaster is universally badass. It’s the play anything and everything guitar.
I hear more distortion than twang. I think you are listening with your eyes cause he's playimg a Tele...there is nothing twangy about a distorted Tele sound my friend...
good god i'm glad we've moved past this lazy, yarling vocal style

Wild. This dude had the Scott Stapp look before Scott Stapp.

2021 and still fuckin awesome

No
this band is for the top5 bands of the 90s great yeahhhhhh
I was 14 when I saw this! I still love them! You do the math.....

I miss 'em. Good old days.. 7M3
these guys rocked in the 90s & then WTF happened? It's like they disappeared! this song STILL kicks ass 16yrs later!
One of my fav ever! great song Love the 90's always.....
Because John was always cooler than Ponch
Back when music didn’t suck ass and you actually looked forward to going to a record store and buying a vinyl/CD. Nowadays, who gives a shit….
Man. I was rocking on my dorm room listening to this on my ROCK FM radio in 1997. \m/ \m/
A song that came out way before it should have
music like this nowadays is a dime a dozen and is very hard to find..
this is why i am into my 70s-2009 music.. mainly rock (basically anything MINUS POP COUNTRY cause pop country sucks ass and is remanufactured music)
I sing this song at least twice a week in the karaoke circuit all over OKC
The 90s the last great decade of rock music 🎵
Great video and song, love it!!! remember calling in requests at the radio station
The lead is Jason Ross..umm sexy he is
not too mention, while there was pop of course, there were a lot more of, i guess "power pop" type bands. Yes, madonna, cher, etc had quite a bit of airplay but it was pretty balanced out by the same crowd of moms and kids listening to matchbox 20, gin blossoms, goo goo dolls, etc. Those bands created their own music.

Nah nah no no …. yeah yeah … genius
У басиста хайер крутой!
That JCM 800 had to be tearing people's heads clean off in the front row. Singer had the gain pushed pretty hard that day. Lots of clipping in the mid range
He is singing SO 90s that he sounds like he's mocking the 90s singers.
Never gets old
Still rockin it in 2023
Triple H has a side gig I see.
He's got a Scott Stap thing going on
They came out before creed
Dave sure did appreciate good music Really going to miss his show
She remembers the bridges and burns them to the ground. Hell yeah she does.
ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!
You know it’s real when the guitarist smiles after the singer hits that note
Love it when bands sound awesome LIVE ... great tune!
FUCK YES
over 13 years ago..wow. Great performance here.
Oh the 90s were perfection.
Cumbersome is the first rock song that got me into rock music. After that I never looked back! Im a Rawk and roller til I die!!
These guys wanted to be Alice in chains soooo bad lol...still a good song
Ďisagree. They are unique and their music is simply in sync with their time.
This song is literally perfect. Listen to the recorded version, drums are a bit better
Great performance from lead singer Jason Segel.
SantiagoRaga1975 Jason Ross you turd... ROSS

God I miss this music
I just love how tight they are.
Yeah, Cumbersome is off of their second album. They have six other albums.They may have "fallen off the face of the earth", but I still listen to em on a semi-regular basis.
Loved this song...
Jason looks a lot like Matthew McConaughey. Maybe that's why he grew a big beard later!
Great song, these guys need a lot more recognition.
sorry, but thought this was a stinker when it came out, and its aged like mayo left on a radiator
Never knew dave grohl played guitar for them 😱
The Gibson guy looks like he's having a blast. That's why you play.
What happened to music like this?
Don't listen to a lot of 7M3. But, when I do..so do the neighbours.
Rock today is dead 😏
This sounds better than the studio imo. Both are fucking bangers though
This song still kicks ass in 2022!!!!!
drummer look like he got plucked out of the audience lol or tech support back stage lolol
Maybe on Conan O’Brien encore same song podcast otherwise great set
his eyes are like deer's in the headlights. but the timing and execution definitely didn't hit my truck ;p good thing
I loved this song when it came out. I think I was a freshmen in highschool. Man I'm old.
