I found out about this when it happened (I mean not literally lol on the day it was announced,) but was listening to this so RIP Taylor Hawkins.
(Apparently that's what I do in this thread now.)
I loved this song a lot in the 2000s. I don't think I bought the album this is from though ironically. I think what I might have done is liked this and a few other songs from a mix of albums that came on kerrang radio + music channels (which I used to listen to/watch obsessively before music on YouTube was a thing,) and bought their most recent album at the time which was In Your Honor lol.
(Generally speaking it would be insane to buy a band's entire back catalogue but I did do that with Green Day lol when I was 14~ up until American Idiot and it was big even at that time. In fairness I listened to all of them tons with the exception of their first album. They had songs about some 18+ topics lol. One of my favourite songs is about that on the Warning album haha. There's another with a similar theme on an earlier album but I didn't care for that track as much musically was more like a joke track. Where as this one is very catchy. Though I think they actually hired someone for the song (not musically. That's probably a rumour too.) I think Warning was actually a very underrated album tbh. Mostly I just liked how post punk bands back then seemed to be having a lot of fun, they probably weren't everything's probably terrible and everyone is evil. What is this post.)
People have a way easier time finding stuff now but tbh I appreciate it less. I remember visiting my friend and finding she had the music channel version of Kerrang and was like =O !!!! because we just had the free digital TV starting when I was about 11 (before that we had 5 channels.) So there were radio stations on the TV and 2 music channels but it was mostly mainstream pop & hiphop music (though there was more mainstream rock during this period than now thankfully,) and then since I was mostly into rock I'd try to commandeer the TV during times when they had special rock genre shows on. That's also how I found one of the best music videos of all time:
And yeah I know.
