1. Fuel is an American alternative rock/post-grunge band formed by friends Carl Bell, Jeff Abercrombie and Brett Scallions in 1989. Originally from Tennessee, Fuel moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where they played local Pennsylvania bars and nightclubs. Their first EP Porcelin was released in 1996, and sold well locally, spawning a small radio hit with "Shimmer." The popularity of the EP brought them to the attention of Sony's 550 imprint, which released their second EP, Hazelton, the following year. The band's full length debut, Sunburn, came out in 1998. Shimmer was again included, and almost became a Top 40 hit, while the other singles ("Bittersweet," "Jesus or a Gun," "Sunburn") received some airplay. After laying low for two and a half years, Fuel came back with their second album, Something Like Human, in 2000, and scored a Top 40 hit with "Hemorrage (In My Hands)" (#17), as well as going platinum with the album. A third album, Natural Selection, came out in 2003, and was another big seller. Their songs have been featured on the movie soundtracks including the movie Daredevil which featured the song, "Won't Back Down" and their rendition of "We Three Kings" was included on a Christmas compilation album. Fuel also recorded a song titled "Walk the Sky" for the Godzilla soundtrack. Fuel released its greatest hits album, The Best of Fuel on December 13th, 2005. On February 7, 2006, Fuel announced through their website that singer Brett Scallions had left the band. The band (now just Carl Bell and Jeff Abercrombie) said that he left on friendly terms. "We will all miss him and we wish him the best", Carl wrote in a letter on their website. Fuel is auditioning for a new singer and are in preparation for creating their 4th studio album. In May 2006, Fuel offered American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry their lead singer slot, but he turned it down to perform on his own. Finally Fuel released a 4th album, Angels & Devils, with Toryn Green as new singer.
2) Fuel formed in 1989 and thrived in the early 90's post-hardcore scene. They were from the San Francisco Bay Area, though you wouldn't know it to listen to them. They combined melody, power, and raw emotion to create both personal and political songs. They had a post-punk "DC" sound akin to Fugazi or early Hot Water Music with twin guitars and dueling rough post hardcore vocals and aggressive and intricate drumming. If anything, they were a bridge between the coasts since the bands they were closest to in terms of friendship were Jawbreaker (in fact, they recorded a Jawbreaker cover, but put an unused vocal track from a different song over it), Samiam, Cringer, and Monsula.
After a few recording sessions at Gilman, they had their own self-published demo. A song recorded with Alex Sergay in the fall of 1989 later ended up on the Very Small Records compilation "If You Can See Through it... It Ain't Coffee." They recorded with Kevin Army in February and March of 1990, and released their self-titled LP "Fuel" in 1990 containing 10 songs on Sixth International/Rough Trade Records. The same recording sessions yielded four other songs which were released as a 7" on Lookout! Records the same year. Both were well received by critics.
Over the next two years, they toured and played locally and hit the studio a few more times to lay down some tracks which would end up on split 7s with Phleg Camp and Angry Son respectively as well as a few compilations. Most of their work was later re-released by Allied Records in 1995. The discography was called "Monuments to Excess" and featured more or less the same artwork as the original LP.
Fuel split in 1991. Fuel was Mike Kirsch on guitar/vocals, Aaron Arroyo on bass, Jim Allison on guitar/vocals, and Jeff Stofan on drums. Mike Kirsch has been in numerous Bay Area bands such as The Skinflutes, early Pinhead Gunpowder, Navio Forge, Torches to Rome, Bread and Circuits, and Please Inform the Captain This is a Hijack. He's currently playing guitar in Baader Brains. Jeff Stofan has also been in numerous bands including Monsula most notably.
Twenty years later, and people still talk about Fuel. One of the members started and maintains the band's official website as a tribute and scrapbook to a time he obviously loved.
3) Fuel - the Scottish band, had strong connections and a similar guitar sound to quintessential ethereal band "Cocteau Twins". Formed by Hamish McKintosh in 1987 and produced by the Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie, a first album "The back of this beyond" was released. Undeterred Hanish produced a second album which was due to be released but the collapse of the record label meant this was postponed. In 1994 the ep "Timeless" was released with major contributions from the Cocteau Twins, including the vocal talents of Elizabeth Fraser on the song "Butterfly Knife" and Robin Guthrie's inimitable sound on the astounding shoegazer should be classic "Wildfire".
4) Fuel - Serbian Nightwish tribute band located in Pancevo.
Won't Back Down
Fuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what darkness means (and the point to run from me)
The isolation stings (so thick it wants to bleed)
The echoes in my brain (all the things you said to me)
You took my everything (now I'm coming for you)
I won't back down
I will not bow
And I can't forget
The things you did
(I've come to bring you hell)
The shadows that you see (in the places that you sleep)
Are memories of me (you better pray your soul too keep)
The truth behind your eyes (you know the things you never see)
Your darkest little lies (I'm coming for you)
I won't back down
I will not bow
(I've come to bring you hell)
And I can't forget
The things you did
(I've come to bring you hell)
Of all the scars that never heal
Of all the wounds that will not seal
I will not forget the day
These memories never fall, yeah
I won't back down
I will not bow
(I've come to bring you hell)
And I can't forget
The things you did
(I've come to bring you hell)
I've come to bring you hell (I've come to bring you hell)
I've come to bring you hell (I've come to bring you hell)
I've come to bring you hell (I've come to bring you hell)
I've come to bring you hell (I've come to bring you hell)
Fuel's song Won't Back Down is an emotional and powerful track that delves into themes of betrayal, determination, and revenge. The opening lines of the song immediately set a tone of darkness and isolation, as the singer suggests that he understands the feeling all too well. He references how someone has taken everything from him and left him with nothing but echoes in his brain. The use of the second person "you" throughout the song makes it clear that the singer is addressing someone specific - likely someone who has wronged him in a significant way.
As the song progresses, the singer's anger and desire for revenge become more evident. He tells the subject that he won't back down or bow to them; instead, he's come to bring them hell. The imagery throughout the song is dark and foreboding, with references to shadows and the subject's darkest little lies. The lines "the things you did, I've come to bring you hell" suggest that the subject has done something unforgivable, and the singer is determined to make them pay.
The chorus repeats several times throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's unwavering commitment to his mission. He has been scarred and wounded by the subject's actions, but he refuses to forget or move on. Instead, he's come to bring them hell - a haunting phrase that leaves no doubt about his intentions.
Overall, Fuel's Won't Back Down is a powerful rock song that explores themes of betrayal, revenge, and determination. The lyrics are dark and unflinching, with a sense of anger and darkness that resonates with listeners.

Years ago, me and my friend met y'all.
It was at the Tempe Marketplace in Tempe, AZ.
Remember that?
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
My friend was there with a handicapped woman in a wheelchair.
She was special needs.
The way you and Phil engaged her melted my heart.
She was so shy/scared!
You two got to her level and made her comfortable.
I will never forget that!
God bless you guys for that!
Thanks to y'all, she got to have her moment to shine.
For a brief moment, she was in the spotlight.
To this day, she still has the guitar pick and set sheet you and Phil gave her.
God bless you, my friends!
Keep staying awesome!
Much love from Arizona!

I don't care what people say about this movie. I have a soft spot for it. The soundtrack has a lot to with that. This movie perfectly represents the golden age of post-grunge rock. We don't get music like this anymore.
@ChristianFrates1997
The directors cut is better.
@TheSkinsFactoryInc
The Director's Cut is a far better version than the original release.
