Saliva released their self-titled debut album on August 26, 1997, through Rockingchair Records, a record label owned and operated by Mark Yoshida, who recorded and produced the release at his studio, Rockingchair Studios.
They were signed to Island Records and went on to release their second studio album Every Six Seconds. Saliva later released their third studio album titled Back into Your System on November 12, 2002 which reached #19 on the Billboard 200. Back into Your System launched one of Saliva's most successful songs, "Always", reaching #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Modern Rock Chart. Three years after Survival of the Sickest, Saliva released Blood Stained Love Story on January 23, 2007, repeating Back into Your System's chart performance at #19 on the Billboard 200. Its first single, "Ladies and Gentlemen", peaked at #2 on the Mainstream Rock Chart.
Saliva was originally founded in Memphis, Tennessee in September 1996. After competing in the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Grammy Showcase competition, where they advanced to the final round in New York City, the group self-released their self-titled debut album which sold over 10,000 copies in their region, prompting Island Records to take notice.
Saliva's Island debut Every Six Seconds was released in 2001 and featured the singles "Your Disease" and "Click Click Boom", both of which saw significant play on rock radio and helped bring the band into mainstream popularity.
Back into Your System, their third album, was released in 2002, which included the chart topping hits "Always", and "Rest in Pieces" co-written by James Michael and Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe. The song "Pride" was first given to the fans in a concert in a small bar, but Josey Scott also took some heat during this era for shouting out vulgar remarks about the Dixie Chicks. The band toured in 2003, opening for KISS and Aerosmith. Saliva beat out Billy Idol for the tour.
Saliva then released Survival of the Sickest on August 17, 2004, reaching #20 on the Billboard 200. On May 29, 2005, guitarist Chris D'Abaldo announced he had left the band "for obvious reasons, as the band is not a unit anymore." He then shortly retracted his statement and apologized, declaring on the band's website that "there was a bit of an issue we're working through and we're looking forward to recording a new album later this year". However, the band's website later apologized again for the confusion and confirmed that due to "creative differences", D'ABaldo was in fact leaving the band, but that Saliva was "completely moving forward as planned and [has] our best music ahead of us". D'ABaldo eventually moved on to start the band Smolder. Jake Stutevoss formerly of the band Future Leaders of the World replaced him in Saliva's tour lineup. Stutevoss left the group right before the recording sessions for Ladies and Gentlemen. Jonathan Montoya, formerly of Full Devil Jacket, then became the next permanent member of Saliva.
A new single, titled "Ladies and Gentlemen" was released in November 2006 to radio stations and made it to #2 on the US Mainstream Rock charts. Saliva released the album Blood Stained Love Story on January 23, 2007. It has also been included as the background music for a number of Sony's commercials for the PlayStation 3. It was also made the official Theme song for Wrestlemania 23. The second single released off of the album was "Broken Sunday", which reached #8 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and is frequently on the Sirius top 20 on Octane. Saliva's tour manager Chris stated that the new single off Blood Stained Love Story would be "King of the Stereo".
In an interview with WWE on February 27, Scott said "We're going to go in the studio probably around May and record our next record. If you like "Ladies and Gentlemen" and "Click Click Boom", and more dynamic stuff, it’s going to be an ass-whooping of a record. It’s going to be 45 minutes of ass-whooping!" Saliva toured with Sevendust in South Korea, Japan and a brief stint in Europe until July 2008.
As of April 30, 2008, Octane 20 on Sirius Satellite Radio began playing a new song titled "Don't Question My Heart", featuring Brent Smith from Shinedown. The song can be found on the album WWE The Music, Vol. 8, and was the official television theme song for the ECW brand. Saliva's sixth studio album is titled Cinco Diablo and was released on December 16, 2008. "Hunt You Down" was a song on the album that was then made the official WWE No Way Out 2009 theme song in February 2009.
The band have worked on a reality television show style DVD following the recording of Cinco Diablo and life on the road. In an interview with MJP, Josey was asked if it was a TV Show to which Josey stated "I hope not", and stated that he wanted it more as "a DVD or something for our fans".
Saliva was recently on tour with Pop Evil, Since October, Dead Season, and Aranda. They were scheduled to join the 13th annual SnoCore Tour, but singer Josey Scott had ulcer surgery. Walt Lafty of Silvertide was hired to fill in for Scott for the tour, but Saliva ultimately decided to drop out of the tour, instead of touring with Lafty.
On March 23, 2010, the band released a Greatest Hits album titled, Moving Forward in Reverse: Greatest Hits. "Time to Shine" from said album was used as the official theme song for the "WWE Extreme Rules" Pay-Per-View in 2010.
On 30 August 2010, the band announced the exit of guitarist Jonathan Montoya, saying that they would carry on as a four piece. They had begun recording their latest album, titled Under Your Skin, with Howard Benson.
The band supplied a song titled "Badass" to the Saw 3D soundtrack released on October 26, 2010.
The band released the lead single from their new album Under Your Skin, entitled "Nothing". It was digitally released on February 1, 2011. "Badass" was later released as the second single, and reached No. 26 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks.
At the end of 2011, after 15 years with the band, Josey Scott decided to leave the band to pursue a solo Christian music career.
In early January 2012 it was announced that Bobby Amaru has joined Saliva as the new vocalist. According to Wayne, "he is a 28-year-old singer, songwriter, producer from Jacksonville, Florida who has a GREAT voice and will not only bring some fresh blood into the band but; will also put a new spin on the Saliva sound." Amaru was the front-man of his solo band Amaru, as well as the drummer for Burn Season.
On February 10, 2012, Saliva released a brand new single named "All Around the World" and said to write a brand new album straight after the tour. In addition to "All Around the World", the band has been performing another new song titled "One More Night" on their current tour with 12 Stones and Royal Bliss.
On November 30, 2012, it was announced that the band had just signed a new record deal with Rumbum Records & that after they have finished their current tour, the band will return home to finish writing the new album and begin recording in January for a release date some time in the spring.
On February 5, 2013, Saliva began recording a new album which would later be named “In It to Win It”. “In It to Win It” was to be the bands eighth record (1st with RumBum Records) with producer Bobby Huff, and executive producer Luis Bacardi. Bobby Huff co-wrote Saliva’s single “Badass” and has worked with artists such as Meat Loaf, 3 Doors Down & Cavo.

On April 16, 2016 Saliva announced their new album, titled Love, Lies & Therapy would be released June 10, 2016. Later in May, the group announced they would be supporting the album by taking part of the "Make America Rock Again" tour in the summer 2016 alongside Trapt, Saving Abel, Alien Ant Farm, Crazy Town, 12 Stones, Tantric and Drowning Pool.
In mid-2018, drummer Paul Crosby announced his departure from the band after 18 years. Shortly afterward, bassist Brad Stewart would also depart to focus on other touring and projects. Saliva then released their tenth studio record, 10 Lives, on October 19, 2018 via Megaforce Records. The album was produced by frontman Bobby Amaru and Steve Perreira in Jacksonville, Florida. In 2019, both Crosby and Stewart confirmed their return to the band. Saliva would go on to tour in 2019 as a part of Puddle of Mudd's Muddfest.
In October 2019, former vocalist Josey Scott announced on The Morning Dump podcast that he planned to reunite with Saliva for a tour and a new studio album. This was confirmed by Swinny in an interview with Detroit's WRIF Radio, adding that although "there's nothing on paper," the reunion should take place from 2020 into 2021 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Every Six Seconds. In addition to Scott rejoining, Swinny also suggested that former guitiarist Chris D'Abaldo may also be taking part. In January 2021, it was announced that these plans were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On April 16th, 2021, the band released a music video for "After Me" following the 20th anniversary of their second album Every Six Seconds. Also, guitarist and founder Wayne Swinney sat out touring for August, due to testing positive for COVID-19, with Josh Kulack filling in for him.

Saliva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything I've done
Everything I've lost
I wouldn't change a thing
It was all for you
But could you say the same?
And give me your last breath
will take it all away
will I die for u
If you don't open up inside
Then kiss me for the last time
Tell me how far would you go
Is it really worth it all?
Besides, I don't feel you anymore
What a tragic kind of love
You can't create the face
Until I'm black and blue
I'm addicted to the pain
It was all for you
But would you do the same
And give me your last breath
You keep me pushing away
will I die for you?
If you don't open up inside
Then kiss me for the last time
Tell me how far would you go
Is it really worth it all?
Besides, I don't feel you anymore
What a tragic kind of love

What a tragic kind of love
The lyrics to Saliva's song "Tragic_Kind_Of_Love" depict love that is characterized by pain, sacrifice, and disappointment. The vocalist is revealing that he has given everything, lost everything for the person he loves. In fact, he says that he would not change anything he has done even if it cost him everything because it was all for the person he loves. But he is not sure if the person he loves feels the same way. He questions whether or not the person he loves would give their last breath, or die for him. He then goes on to describe that he feels that the person he loves is pushing him away, and he does not feel the love he once did. The love has become tragic because it's one-sided.
The chorus of the song starts by asking his loved one how far they would go and if it's worth it all to them. He then reveals that he no longer feels the love, which sounds tragic because it is such a selfless love. The song ends by asking whether his loved one will still be there when his moment passes and all is gone.
Overall, the song is about giving everything to the person you love and feeling like it's not reciprocated. It's about asking how much pain and sacrifice is worth it for love and what happens when it's all for naught.

SALIVA (2016) – TRAGIC KIND OF LOVE (Traducción)
Everything I've done
Todo lo que he hecho
Everything I've lost
Todo lo que he perdido
I wouldn't change a thing
No cambiaría nada
It was all for you
Fue todo por ti
But could you say the same?
¿Pero podrías tú decir lo mismo?
And give me your last breath
Y darme tu último aliento
will take it all away
¿Se lo llevaría todo?
will I die for u
¿Moriría yo por ti?
If you don't open up inside
Si no te sinceras
Then kiss me for the last time
Entonces bésame por última vez
Tell me how far would you go
Dime lo lejos que llegarías
Is it really worth it all?
¿Realmente merece la pena todo esto?
Besides, I don't feel you anymore
Además, ya no te siento
What a tragic kind of love
Qué trágica clase de amor
You can't create the face
No puedes crear el rostro (¿?)
Until I'm black and blue
Hasta que estoy lleno de cardenales
I'm addicted to the pain
Soy adicto al dolor
It was all for you
Fue todo por ti
But would you do the same
¿Pero harías tú lo mismo?
And give me your last breath
Y darme tu último aliento
You keep me pushing away
Sigues rechazándome
will I die for you?
¿Moriría yo por ti?
If you don't open up inside
Si no te sinceras
Then kiss me for the last time
Entonces bésame por última vez
Tell me how far would you go
Dime lo lejos que llegarías

Hola podrías hacer la traducción en español por favor 🙏🙏🥺
Amo éste tema.

Knew they had a new singer but I hadn't heard anything from them for years. I thought Saliva had called it quits then this album shows up in my Apple Music feed. I expected it to be shit, but it surprised me how good it is.
I'm glad they embraced their new singer's style. I went on YouTube and searched the obscure songs they'd released with him before as he tried to copy the old Saliva sound and it was weak. This new stuff is good, sounds like 80s rock mixed with 90s Stabbing Westward alternative flair.
Face it fans, you don't want a poser copying the old singer. This new album is what I was hoping, not a half assed retread like the new Ghostbusters movie, but a genuine rebirth of a band with a new voice and a new lease on life. Bravo!
Epic Rants
Thank you. Finally, someone understands.
