Sirius xm: how nasally do you wanna sound? Wes: NYESSS

Who came here from the about a girl video to see if he's just as horrible as the other video?? Lol

I feel bad for him. The guy can sing, you can find a lot of videos that clearly show that he's not a bad singer at all. He must have had a bad day....or he can't reach those high notes anymore. Come on, guys, he deserves a little more respect than what people are wriiting in the comments section. After all, he wrote this song, he composed the music, he came up with the words and the vocal melody.

Bursted out laughing at that head turn 2:35 classic!

I blame Jared dines for sending me down this rabbit hole 😂

I used to repeat this song over and over again on my compact disc player.

Stay positive Wes, timeless song ✌🏻

0:54 The summary of this video.

He went from looking like Edge to blonde a Johnny Knoxville....

I honestly feel so bad from him. He used to such a good voice I can’t imagine what it’d be like to have music as your lively hood and passion and lose it to drugs. I truly think he’s kind of a tortured dude based on his past. I mean I’m all honesty this is no where as good as younger him could do but it’s not bad really, at least coming from the about a girl video it doesn’t seem like it.

Omg, the look he gives him at 0:52

The guy isn’t that bad he just needs to get his chops back.

It's like the aliens from Space Jam stole his singing

He actually sounds good here, especially in the verses. I’m just gonna pretend that Nirvana cover doesn’t exist....

Hang in there wes, get clean And take it all back. Keep making good music. Many people still believes on you.

Coming here after the Nirvana cover and I’m glad to see he hasn’t lost his voice. Congrats on sobriety Wes!!! Haters will always hate.

0:53 the percussionist's face says it all lmfao

He got everything right when he wrote this song, simple melody, simple lyrics yet deep, catchy sound, Wes hang on there, stay sober, I listened to PoM when I was like 16 endlessly, now I’m 35 and still hope you’ll come back with a great song or an album.

I remembere seeing him live in Italy a few years ago. He was so thin and worn out that he couldn't even keep the guitar, he had no strenght. Also he was so drunk or high that i remember him asking where he was. He was totally confused and his vocals could barely be heard. The concert ended up way earlier than It should have because he literally passed out on the stage. It was heartbreaking seeing him that way. That being said i'm really glad he feels better now and he started to sing again, doing what he likes doing, who cares about the Nirvana cover. Keep It up man.

"Blurry" is a never ending masterpiece. This version is really good. Keep on rockin guys, we need you!

For all the people hating on Wes, you can tell his vocal chords are already strained and he knows that. It's why he is singing the song in a lower octave most of the time.

Love this, takes me back to 2001. Great to hear Wes sounding this good again

How the heck did he messed up About The Girl while he sung this song beautifully?

It's not sobriety that ruins your voice. Anyone in here thinking that is being foolish (to put it nicely). Yeah. Heroin, alcohol, coke, and plenty of smoke inhalation would be a GREAT help for your vocal cords. Give me a break. For some people, it just happens after 20 years of yelling and screaming at the top of your lungs. Go figure. At least dude has the backbone to do it live. And I'm not even a big Puddle of Mudd fan. I'm just being considerate and using my brain. Are there Rock/Metal singers who can pull it off after decades of performing? Yes. And I won't deny that. Some of them have been doing it twice as long and can still pull it off. But people aren't the same. Not everyone's bodies are the same. Not everyone's lives are the same. Cut the dude some slack. And maybe it was just a bad performance and one of those days. Who knows? I've seen bands I enjoy sound like garbage before when they normally sound good. They are men, not gods. Again I want to make it clear that I'm not even a big Puddle of Mudd fan. I'm not defending a Rock Star, I'm defending a human being and a fellow man from a bunch of people who couldn't sing if it meant saving someone's life. "Sobriety didn't help much." Spoken like a true loser. Are you wishing he'd start drinking again? He's a man, not a dancing clown for your entertainment.

This song holds a place in my heart

Everyone burns this guy, he is a song writer. It is a beautiful song and combination of words. I mean we can’t compare song writers like that ray Charles or even Miley Cyrus. It’s a lovely song that I’m sure millions of people online are so grateful he created for them. He shared an intimate part of himself so someone else could open themselves up. He was gifted with the words and the courage to speak about his feelings in front of the world.

Everyone talking trash about his voice. Well at least he hasn’t quit playing music which seems to be his passion. Give him the respect for keeping it up even after all the crap he’s been through.

Honestly this doesn't even sound bad. He's singing in the lower octave that was always present live since day 1. He no longer can sing the higher register so he keeps it low. Definitely appears to be sightly nervous in the videos I've seen since getting sober. A lot of that can affect his singing as well.

This was done really well; perfect key for Wes and I like watching his face; you can see he is reliving memories of when he wrote it.

Love this song forever I play it everyday in my car and I never get sick of it

Had the amazing pleasure to see Puddle of Mudd at Kegs Canalside in Jordan NY in september of 2022. The best concert I have been too. They played great and sang great. I think it's normal to have bad days, especially when he sings songs that you need to scream a little. Much love to wes and the band

Nothing wrong with this performance.

This tune reminds me of the inner workings of a 17 year old emo kid's mind who has just been dumped by the chick who was blatantly too hot for him

The test of time hits us all. His voice is still there sneaking its way out. You just have to listen and feel

I feel like the mixing engineer trolled them here as revenge for About A Girl

Thanks to the great people of Namco for using this beautiful song in the wonderful Ace Combat 5 for PS2. "F" for Alvin "chopper" Davenpor

After all the substance abuse this is what it comes to. This song still makes all the old memories rush back. Still one of the greatest songs ever.

I love this version ❤

So glad to see Wes is back, he's a great singer/songwriter , but more importantly he's a good guy.

The bongo player's face at 00:53 "Don't you fucking dare try to go up an octave for that chorus mate"

glad to see you guys playing together. good luck and best wishes...

This is one of the best songs from this band !!! It sounds really amazing on acoustic !!!! We shouldn't criticize for just one cover !!! After all they're professional musicians !!! :)

It sounds really pretty with or with out harmonics i just love this song!

He fooled everyone into thinking he was serious about “about a girl” . High five wes.

Got drunk with Wes at a bar in LA about 7 years ago. Cool guy!

Sounds great to me. Negative comments from people who couldn’t sing a note. Wes has been through a lot.

The look the drummer gives the drunk karaoke singer 56 seconds in 😂

Never like then until I saw them live in 2005 and was blown the hell away by how badass and powerful they were live vs radio. They also played about a girl live that night and nailed it too

ok I feel sorry for the guy now, he's going to be hurt by the comments!

Anyone notice how he won't even try to hit his own high notes?!

He is still a better singer than me and most of the critics in the comments section ! I dont find the people who are complaining about his singing skills putting up their own cover of this song. Wes just had one bad attempt at the Nirvana cover but thats life because every artist has gone through a rough patch at some point of their career. Not everything in life has to be perfect. Wes , has been struggling with alcohol and drugs for a long time and he has come out of it finally and got back to singing. I call that a success.

Damn I miss those days. Were getting old folks !

They could just pause the session for a while so he ca take a dump. He doesn’t need to hold it in.

It hurts my heart to see all the negativity being posted. At least he's trying to do what he's obviously passionate about. If you're a true rock fan you should know these guys can struggle but bounce back. He's trying to heal but y'all are out here dumping shit all over him. Just stop!

Can You Take it All The Way? Me:

Okay, I am sending prayers to Wes because what is this? I think we've lost him. I just watched the live performance from 2002 and the old acoustic video on here from 12 years back. Look at how hard he's trying compared to his younger days. He's not even playing the guitar and it looks like he is trying 120% to hit the notes to his OWN song.

That singer should go far. PLEASE.

Damn I wish we booked this sesh

It’s 2020 and this is my new favorite song 🖤🖤🖤🎧

This song Takes me back to my high school days. Miss this type of music!!

This was my shat!! Nice. It's good to see you guys doing good!

Wes is not a bad singer, but in this session (why talk again about the Nirvana cover lmao) it's quite painful to hear him struggle to keep the sustain on the notes

to me, the message behind the songs hurts more as I grow older

Love this song, Wes looks like he just chopped a fat line of coke and then did the song, gritting teeth and singing the hell out of it hahahahaaha

Still one of my fav bands growing up..people get old and not all are blessed with the same sound thru the years..still badass to me ;-)

Its sounds like a bad cover of their own song .... impressive lol

0:53 “don’t fuck this one up too, ok??”

❤️❤️❤️❤️no matter what I always support this band love from Nepal ❤️❤️❤️

He should do a nirvana cover!

Why do they have the vocal levels like this? They turned him up you way to high so he probably actually think he sounds decent in his phones.

This song and my hero by foo fighters hit so hard with nostalgia.

I love the little spin off of the song it’s like he’s giving us a new one all over again and it sounds pretty cool

Honestly if anything the bad publicity is good for them. Glad this video is linked to the meme video. Not on purpose marketing ploy? Good job mudd

The guy has gone through a lot of shit. He's got time to practice his vocals now that he's sober. Cut him some slack please 🙏🤘

this song is a timeless masterpiece.

I expected worse due to comments, but he sounds great! He’s going on 52. I’m a year behind. When GenX hears music from the 90’s, we also feel it & LIVED it! We were head-banging in the 80’s & thrashing around & crowd surfing in the 90’s. We lived a full life by age 25. Cross your fingers for us! 😂

Take it all away? Somebody should take him away 😂

I love it! Old and new I am so glad he is back!! Playing on the loudest I can afford!! Energy Towers and Pioneer Elites!!

We saw him last year and again earlier this year before Covid hit the world in full force. Both concerts were excellent. 👍 There is a lot to be said about trying to force a song that just isn't there. Sometimes the heart is there but the rest of the body just says no.

He sounds like he hasn't been drinking enough water or getting enough sleep. This guy would be badass at a karaoke bar 🤣🤣🤣

Viva o Rock, Viva ao Grunge ❤

Worrying moment at 02:00, the face looked ready for a repeat of Nirvana.

Only God can judge. Keep rocking Wes

His facial expressions and just the way he's moving makes me think he never really got clean. I saw him live about 5 years ago for Ohio Bike Week, and this man literally was 15 feet from the microphone and basically gave it away that he hadn't actually sang a single word for the entire performance

For those complaining about how he cant sing anymore or nasaly.......he sounds the same as ever did. For what its worth. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5tzjb1y3LjVeIU.html What hes doing on the Nirvana cover however.....yea thats a wtf. But hes on par in this song.

I remember people used to compare him to Kurt Cobain LOLOLOLLLLL

I don’t see what people are bitching about, solid performance

Good to see everybody sober

Years of abuse to his voice, he needs to see a vocal coach. I think he could sing again if he just worked with someone about it

2:36 omg that look scared me af😅😅😅

I loved each and every word of this song ❤️ and i can totally relate to the teeth clenching.. Sometimes when a song bites back too hard, then you bite back and that way you don't lose focus. Great job 👍🏽👌❤️

damn, im so old.. this was my favorite song back in 2001, can't believe this song was already 21 years old, happy debut for this song 💖💝💘

you people are mean and mad. this man is singing his soul. idc if its perfect, and that Nirvana cover had some heart in it too. \m/

He doesn't look happy, hope he's ok for the most part.✌♥️🎶

bless you Wes.

I remember the 2002 live, epic

I mean, if his voice is not auto tuned, this is damn good and better than a LOT of other acoustic performances. He's obviously abused his body so much. He sounds good here. Going low is not a sign of a bad performances. It drones the melody a bit, but it's acoustic. He just looks so uncomfortable.

Old performances of them singing this in the same acoustic setting are solid. Sad what happened to his voice. Drugs and alcohol and neglect are bad mmkayy ?

1:22 when you finally get a turn with the aux cord in the car.

0:54 I love the way this dude looks at Wes like... Dude what the f*ck
