2,143,046 Views - Youtube Videos 2006. Greenhouse Effect with their classic 1989 Gem of a Song "Six Feet Under" which was a track almost nearly entirely conceived by Guitarist Phil Keegan. Keegan wrote, produced, Sang the Lyrics, and Played the guitar parts on what has now become one of the Biggest ever and most watched Songs of the internet. "With all the great songs from our band,...it is always very curious to me just how big and important that SFU is..." Says Drummer at the time Clark Haggans. "That track has singlehandedly 'made' G.e. an internet Household word..." Haggins frustrates at the fact of G.e's sheer size on the web and the fact that bands continue to try to steal and use the "Greenhouse Effect" band name moniker; "We're the 'real' Greenhouse Effect,....its a source of HUGE frustration for our band" Says Higgins "We don't want to have to sue people and be all mean and shit ,....We're nice guys but when we see Rap music groups - or People like Asher Roth - using our name,... We get pissed off ,.... We're the Most Watched band in the World ,...we hate to see people gaining fame off our name - People who are lesser musicians who haven't earned it - the way we have,.... We work hard on here daily ,... to get seen and viewed like us ,..you have to have big talent,.. to be linked and connected like we are ,...its really frustrating now all these overseas bands ,..ones in the Uk and Italy and Australia calling themselves 'Greenhouse Effect',...its insulting to us ,...We have trademarked the name now ,...in the USA .." The Asher Roth problem has particularly caused a problem in G.e. search engines ; "When people surf for our music world wide,...they may stumble upon this Asher Roth guy ,..and thats a bummer and a damn shame ,..it makes it really bad because so many people will automatically take Rap and Hip hop as fact music now ,....I don't consider those as "Real Music",..to me, its just guys in a studio fucking around ,...it ain't real shit ,..it ain't the real deal ,..you need to sing and play real guitars and drums to be real shit !!,...theres no singing in rap ,..they can't sing ,..they have no talent !!" Greenhouse Effect also despise at millions of advertisers and bloggers 'diverting' G.e. traffic over to themselves; "That practice is wrong and it costs our band millions of hits per day ,...We earn all of our web traffic ,..we don't buy it or steal it from others..." Greenhouse Effect date to 1985 in the South bay area of Redondo beach (Los Angeles) Calif where Keegan started the name and Haggins calls the early phase of G.e. the "Inventers" of Grunge rock real; "We were a band that used Black Flag and David Bowie and the Yardbirds to create a whole new sound - and the music industry took it" Says Higgins. In 2008 and then again later in 2010, Youtube deleted Greenhouse Effect Song Video Accounts to the anger of Haggins; "We worked hard,...On that first account, we were one of the earliest bands to build alot of video plays without a record deal ,...We were pioneers and innovators of the web for other bands and Youtube just erased all of our hard work and blogs ,..it was sad ,..it hurts to see your art get crushed and wiped out like that" Says Higgins. "We have just one account left at Youtube right now and we 'still' get pretty good video plays and I don't even promote that site at all - "thats" the power of the music of G.e" Says Higgins.
