This is an example of how a band could have all the elements that it takes to be successful, the look, professional video, a professionally good or great song, just as good as any other hit song of this genre, and they had large label management and promotional backing, but for whatever reason thats unknown, enough of the masses didn’t respond to it.
They signed with the wrong label they were another one of those bands that got screwed by their label they signed to arista records which is known for screwing their artists
I thought this band was cringe back when they came out. Just came back to remind myself of them after all these years….. it was the lead singer I couldn’t stand. His look and voice.
@@internetargumentchampion78 Jesus I'm glad someone said it. This is just so "try hard" it's laughable. They should have gone pop with all that time to dress up.
Nah, they were right on time. But they were grossly overlooked, even with the little bit of MTV promotion they had. Wish they kept going, but hopefully they'll reunite and we can see them on a Nu-Metal revival tour sometime.
I think the problem was that nu metal was very oversaturated by the time this came out. More and more bands came out in the early 2000s. It was the same with glam metal in the late 80s/ early 90s. A lot of good bands got overlooked.
These guys were so stereotypically nu metal that each band member looked like they were from an existing band 😂 The singer reminds me of Chad Gray from Mudvayne, the blonde guitarist would fit in Linkin Park or Pressure 4-5, the bass player could be in Deftones, the other guitarist looks like Daron from SOAD and the drummer looks like he'd be in Coal Chamber!
Jett is my brother and imagine growing up with him he’s been doing music since probably 5 are grandpa built him a little band room in the basement of our house and all our friends were all into music and we hung out with the older crowd in HS the band Macabre we’ve known them thay actually played a party at our small house in Lemont and Paul opened up for them it was nuts
For whatever reason, this band popped in my head today. And here I am, a decade later singing my face off at my desk watching this video missing the times when I had a CD player in my car and would drive around blasting From Zero.
I have been trying to re-think......"Who on earth DID this song???" Finally found it. From Zero's entire "One Nation Under" album has LOT of great tracks that are worth checking out. This band found the ability to be heavy, yet ultra-Melodic.
My best friend since 1st grade passed away this passed Thursday. This was one of his favorite songs. Compiling a list of songs he enjoyed to commemorate him.
Normal mano, Nu Metal umas 5 bandas ganharam popularidade e umas 2000 bandas que ficaram desconhecidas. É triste porque ainda assim quando vão escutar algo do genero a galera nunca pensa em ir atrás de bandas assim
@@A.i.Riverz It's funny that you mention that, I actually discovered From Zero and Depswa at literally the exact same time. I was looking at CD's at Meijer when I was a teen, and got From Zero's My So Called Life and Depswa's Two Angels and a Dream. I had never heard of either band, and bought both simply based on the cover art and ended up loving both bands.
Oh man me too. Religiously went to shows like once a month from 99-05 when this scene was big. Ozzfest every year, never missed it. Ah, To be young again
This was one of the best groups that never popped. Almost the entirety of this album rocked yet still went mostly unnoticed. I picked this up randomly when I was 20 and it instantly became one of my favs along with FLAW and 36CF.
I remember buying this album back in 2004 in a Rolling Stone store in Chicago Illinois. I went there to buy an album I don't even remember at the moment, with the littles cash I have left I bought this album without knowing who they were, the album was just pretty affordable. Wow that was a discovery the whole album is great!!
I loved this band. FZ was the "thing" in Chicago for a good stretch. So many Metro shows. Smack! Saw them open for Nothingface at HOB. They were so good. Pressure and the original version of Jeer are still fantastic. One Nation Under was easily one of my favorite records of this genre. My So Called Life had a lot of great songs as well. Even the tail end they were released a couple of cool songs as well. These guys were the goods. Looking forward to the Fate Accomplis material.
All music is a matter of opinion and interpretation, and I get that but here goes… The “One Nation Under” album is truly on of my favorite metal albums. From the moment you hit play, it comes out and punches you in the face with a wave of creative energy and it goes the whole ten rounds. I saw this band live and they were phenomenal. One nation under is still on my play list twenty years later. If they ever tour again, I would pay big bucks to see them. 😁🤟
I think I can agree , it's a slammer. I regard it as a nu metal great for me and still an old fav I like to return to. There is a lot of interest in nu metal at the moment for a generation that missed it and I hope people find One Nation Under and this fucking textbook video :D
yeah I'm 21 and my dad also has this in his stash. He's 52 and From Zero, Static X, The Union Underground, Powerman 5000, Cold, ext are in his collection. Guess the 70's weren't his thing, ha, ;)
This was one of those CD's of "upcoming bands" Target used to sell super cheap that I picked up in my younger days. Of all of them I got this was my second or third favorite find from that (kinda tied with Egypt Central). I swear it's so unfair how these guys didn't get big. Incredibly talented, dude's voice was incredible, and an awesome look. Side Note: This is my first time seeing this video. I can't help but think their look kinda reminds me of Coal Chamber. And vocalist looks like he could be Chad Grey's cousin, lol
Perfect middle ground between 90's grunge and 2000's nu metal. With a touch of pop (arpeggios are fairly simple sped up grunge but not really). Sleeper hit for sure. They killed it in a few festivals late 90's.
Esto ocurrió hace dos años, pero entre los comentarios de este vídeo mencionaron que esta banda aparece en una serie llamada RW Back To New York, específicamente en el episodio 8. Puedes encontrarla en TH-cam si quieres echarle un vistazo.
I searched to find this song only because it made a part of my life happen. I always told eveyone how catchy it was since I saw it stayin with my grandma and they never believed me, or even knew what I was talkin about. I finally got the chance at it showed everyone that awesome songs come from lower level bands. From Zero made it, but only for a second. Still, Support local music...support rock.
Their last album, My So Called Life, literally never left the CD player in my Ford Ranger for the entirety of my senior year in highschool. Even though they weren't their most popular songs, Believe, Free Without a Struggle and Drama Queen were my absolute favorites.
He'll I'm not embarrassed I still rock out to all this.. i Remember when this came out I think I was 12 having my first hardcore make out session with the hot goth chick..good times
HOLY SHIT THIS VIDEO. I'VE REMEMBERED IT SINCE I WAS A KID BUT COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE BAND, SONG OR ANY LYRICS, AND MY SIS FOUND IT BY RANDOM HAPPENSTANCE!
Got a promo copy of their album when I was in the 6th grade. This track Reminds me of my youth and the days before our lives were consumed by the internet
This CD played on my Sony discman connected to a cigarette lighter adapter and tape deck converter in my car in high school. Just now popped up in my TH-cam feed. huh..
I've listened to their 3 albums over and over and over again for a while now and this is the first time I'm actually seeing the band. This is NOT AT ALL what I expected. Hahaha
![[LIVE] MCHOICE & MINT AWARDS 2024 at TRUE ICON HALL, ICONSIAM](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wMewUeT5nbY/mqdefault.jpg)
What a fucking throwback
The singer is now a programmer.
It's cool that whang likes from zero.
Yo Whang I was surprised I wasn't expecting to see you here lol!
Whang knows music gg
Weird to see you here on obscure nu metal lol
The most underrated band that no one has heard of. I was obsessed with this entire album. I have a ticket stub signed by every member of the band.
These guys were great!!! used to crank this one up in my old pick up back in the early 2000’s
Fact. I lived in Chicago and saw these guys live like a dozen times. Would try to make every show and they were great live too.

Dude had a great voice and actually had some legit song writing chops. Talk about wrong place wrong time.
Melody is good. Lyrics are terrible.

switch the bass player and the second guitar and its a perfect analogy
From Zero is a Nu-metal band
@@VijiogFrito I agree
I was gonna say mudvayne lol
Still love this damn song. I love the entire album. Jet was a fantastic vocalist.
Unique voice dude

@@Cicero380I’d do unspeakable things for him to reunite with the boys and do it again. I miss this band.
Seriously underrated track.
Underrated band. Every track on this album could have been top 10 if not number one.
But they look effin ridiculous. For any era. Lmao
No.
@@jasonfarquhar7894 I met them once at a show, they really did not dress like Jett did here, at least not that I can recall.

He had good taste. Sorry for your loss.
How did the list come. What other songs were on it?
I'm sorry
But his music interests were awful
much respect.
@FuckFace your such a little girl
como uma banda desse não é conhecida pelo mundo inteiro é pecado po ! foda demais !!!!!!!!!!!!

From Zero disbanded in 2005. I am a fan of them. The singer, Jett, is now vocalist for Fate Accomplis.
Which has also went on a permanent hiatus lol. It's a shame he can't keep a project going, I'm a fan of his music.

Still hits in 2024 for this Gen X'r.
Their whole 2 albums, every song.
Ahhh, the late 90s-early 2000s Nu-metal revolution..... holy fuck this brings me back to when I went to shows all the time as a teenager
At the Metro w/ Lungbrush & Disturbed back in 98. Man, what a great show.

From Zero are so good, I bought their One Nation Under album and it's one of the greatest nu metal albums ever made imo.
I was just running around the house and randomly started singing this forgotten gem. Maaaan, I loved From Zero. 😎 Nu-stalgia is a powerful drug.
Nu-stalgia lmaooo love that
Congratulations to all the younger Linkin Park fans who are about to discover one of the best hidden gems of the nu metal era.
Indeed
2019! Come back From Zero! 🤘
Hope these guys do a 20 year reunion show next year in Chicago for One Nation Under & My So-Called Life 🙏
Happy 20 years to this album just now discovered this band 🎸💯🔥🤟🏼🥁
Still one of the greatest songs I've ever heard!
Here from the Rob Scallon Video interviewing this bassist, engineer for First of October albums
i was such a big fan of them when i heard their One Nation Under album. Just like many of you, I was sad they didn't get big!
Love it,wish this band was still around
stop motion videos, definitive early 2000's love it !!!
They must have cleaned out 3 Hot Topics to dress this band.
That is so amazingly funny. Well done.
Good Charlotte went to the same salon these guys were going.
They look like they went to every department store in the mall and chose one piece of their outfit to make their full appearance in this video
HELP YOUR RIGHT 😭@@awebuelo
@@awebuelothey so totally did
Whatta good underrated band... 2019 and stills nice to hear it...
This video is good, the singer totally shows off some good dance moves lol, and I love his outfit, ROCK ON BROTHA!!!!
Just found this from Rob Scallons interview with Rob Ruccia, this is probably the most nu-metal thing I've ever seen and heard

Swidden, Escape From Earth, Blood Loss…
2001 when nu metal was at its highest. linkin park at the top and korn who paved the way.
Definitivamente mi canción favorita de esta banda.
Estos tipos me traen recuerdos de diferente bandas de Nu-metal, por eso subo el volumen al máximo.
Still good all these years later! I miss good rock n roll
these guys should cover Ravioli

This is how music videos where during that time
@@Aaron_Berry howdy :)
How didn't this totally make it ?? Fkg,rock 2023 the world is def.
Unfortunately I think they started to break out too late. By the time they were gaining momentum, the Nu Metal scene was starting to die down.
damn I miss these guys.. and this fashion :(
That Chorus still hits in the chest with the force of 100 suns 20 years later

Best band hands down. Biggest fan. Hands down.
DUDE. Forgot about this treasure
This song is sick. Should've gotten more attention
WHOA...memories!
Homie's voice is genuinely beautiful
It took some intense googling to find this, I'm just glad to be here.
Had to come to check this out after finding out the singer is the sound engineer from Rob Scalons videos.
Thats him on bass
@@stevew.9122 oh lol my brain was like that bald guy is this bald guy. Thanks for the clarification
This is probably the most "nu-metal" music video of all time.
Embrace it
Henry14arsenal2007 its pretty cheesy tbh w/ u bud just my opinion. good song tho :D
Why does everyone say cringe all the time now?
Welcome to 2001, when every band looked like this, had this kind of video, but at least it was all jammin
@evanbourne12310 there's plenty of stuff out there that has good meaning, but musically, it might not be for everybody.
saw them open up for deftones back in 99
Wish there were more bands around like this still
Still listening in 2022, timeless classic 🤘🏻

Damn, this band should’ve been huge back in the day!
The twin towers was a real thing. Many good band from that era sadly couldn't be successful
@@camiloa8288 Yeah, it sucks that 9/11 kinda ruined that.

That camera shake really brings me back
This song has such nice harmony sound to it .
My stepda rockin bass
Hey, it's Rob Ruccia!
Their last album, My So Called Life, literally never left the CD player in my Ford Ranger for the entirety of my senior year in highschool. Even though they weren't their most popular songs, Believe, Free Without a Struggle and Drama Queen were my absolute favorites.
Pisses me off that i cant find new bands like these anymore...truly miss those times!!!
hi from First of October :D
first of october gang??
Happy 20th Anniversary From Zero!!
Say what you will they fucking rock
Here to check out Rob the sound engineer's band.
I miss this band so much. They deserved way more attention than they ever got.
when the sound and appearance go separate ways. awesome sound of course
This band’s drummer Is sick.
Rob Scallon made me come here! =)
Recently found the demo for this album in my dad's CD collection. Remember listening to this all the time as a kid. Loved this song and album.
1st time hearing it
this brings me back. holy cow. I think that era was the last era of good rock/metal. Ever since its been garbage.
Agreed. Miss those days.
1998 to 02 were the best years. Ah to relive those nu metal days
Yep. I really wish rock/metal would make a come back and save the world from the pop and hip hop non sense
I'm embarrassed I used to like stuff like this lol.
He'll I'm not embarrassed I still rock out to all this.. i Remember when this came out I think I was 12 having my first hardcore make out session with the hot goth chick..good times
Didn't like this the first time but kept coming back to re-listen. Now I'm addicted to the chorus.
That riff is IMMACULATE. Wonder why they didn't just continue after their 2nd album bombed. Maybe someday we'll see these dudes return.
Arista paid them out 7 weeks after the album came out. I think the band was pretty much broken from it
The 2000s. The beginning of the end
I miss these guys.

28 now. Listened to this as a kid, and I still fucking love it and it's relatable to this day for me. Loved this band and Project 86
There’s SO MUCH going on at the end of the song, I love this band. Very talented, I wish they stayed together.
This CD played on my Sony discman connected to a cigarette lighter adapter and tape deck converter in my car in high school. Just now popped up in my TH-cam feed. huh..
