Actually, you guys should ask the band and/ or record company to play “Fell into your Shoes” that is a way better track off of Sci-Fi Crimes. Seriously…it is.

    I completely agree with Scotty. One of the greater tracks off the album. :)

      I love Shameful Metaphors and Roswell’s Spell. both of them, especially the bridge and the chorus of roswell’s spell, makes me wanna cry.

As long as Chevelle keeps the music keeps coming, I am ok with what ever kind of videos they want to put out!

I absolutely adore Chevelle, and It’s making me happy they’re on Kroq! =]

I think its cool that they leave themselves out of their music videos. Nobody else does that, well besides The gorillaz but thats different.

    The Offspring does also. “Hammerhead” and “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” are two videos that do not feature the band.

Music videos sans Pete, Sam & Dean? It’s not an easy decision. Some could say that music videos without the boys would prove to be informative…because on some level we’re getting a dose of “what this song means to us”. Likewise, who can get enough of seeing them perform? Whether it be in person or in video? I say a little of both is an awesome middle ground…everyone wins!

    Totally agree.

I love all of Chevelle’s videos, whether the guys are in them or not. They each seem distinct, different, there just doesn’t seem to be enough of them!

How can I get in touch with Chevelle–I need to let them know how much they meant to my son,Steven, when he was at the El Paso, TX concert on 11/21/2004, which was also my birthday. Steven and I also met up with Chevelle in Las Cruces, NM in the early a.m. on 11/22/2004 at the Jack in the Box to order for them through the drive thru. Steven was given Chevelle’s plaque as a Thank You. My son, Steven, passed away on 04/10/2009 at the age of 20. I wanted to talk to these generous gentlemen. Thank you.

chevelle’s videos are like short films. they tell the story. so what if the band members aren’t in them – their music is. maybe the boys just pay too much attention to playing epic music to waste their time on trying to be good actors. fine wit me! :)

Love Chevelle and all the music videos they do, especially love Jars, we get to see a little bit of them! :)

Chevelle not only gives the best music, they give some of the best interviews. Not only does Jars need to be played on air, but so does “Letters from a Thief”, “Sleep Apnea”, and “Highlands Apparition”. Heck, play the whole album.

As much as I would love to see the guys in their music videos, I love the fact that they don’t make it all about themselves. “Letter from a Theif” was fresh because its about three minutes of just them, and there are no complaints here! =)

But all their other videos are a story and what’s not to love about that?

I ve never really listened to chevelle, until letters from a theif was on 95.5 WBRU, When I went to myflashfetish to view their song i clicked on a few more songs, thinking since the radio doesn t play a lot of their songs, they re probably not good. Im paralized buy how powerefuly moving all of their songs are, I was stunded when this mindblowing sound came from 3 members, hot brothers at that, the raido sucks! Chevelle is defnatly my favorite band up with guns n roses and deftones. Im 25 yr od girl who writes my own songs, and used to be a pretty good rock singer. I just exited an 8 yr relationship, after listening to them Iv never written such creative indepth songs in my life,truelly inspirational!
