Rest peace my childhood. Love you and miss you and thank you. Favorite song All Star" and I'm a Believer
Rip Steven Scott Harwell, you will be missed
I had a weird Smash Mouth kick back in 2018 after finding a copy of Astro Lounge at a garage sale and absolutely loving it. I later ended up seeing them live not long afterward (during a brief stint in which cofounder Greg Camp rejoined) at a local fair and had a damn good time.
For me, it's just late 90s. I was like, 10 in 98 little young and wet behind the ears. I just remember living in Cleveland lot of summer barbecues with my friends. My sister play that cd alot I no longer see those friends anymore. But when I hear that song. I think about that time in my life that was simple.
All Star was the song of my childhood, me and my cousins used to watch Shrek all the time and we’d always sing along to it during the intro those were great times, I want to try to convince my cousins to watch it together again now
RIP Steve Harwell. He was a true all-star, and only shooting stars break the mold. 😢🕊️
Without them the opening in Shrek wouldn't be so memorable. I have a voice acting background and I gotta say I used that song as a vocal warm up. The vocal training was really tough, sometimes without noticable results for months and months and I realized that changing and implementing different exercises can be really good. PS. You almost saw me as Leon in those new RE games :)
In my culture death is not the end it's more of a stepping off point you reach out with both hands & bast & sekhmet they lead you into green veld where you can run forever

Rip to a legend
Rip
I'm 15 and I'm obssesed with the early 2000's rock scene. I came across a Scooby Doo episode where Smash Mouth was playing one of their songs. That was one of my introductions to rock and the early 2000's music. Since then I bought three Smash Mouth CD's and I loved their stuff from 1997 to 2003. The band was the most original of alternative rock of their time and Steve's voice and charisma really hits everyone no matter the age. It’s really sad to see him go so young and after losing a fucked up battle. So glad you saw them live. From Argentina I send my love to his family and friends. You've been an all star, Steve. Rest in peace
So many of our childhood icons have passed… Rest easy, man.
man this one hits deep, Shrek is still one of my favorite animated movies to this day and it's what got me into Smash Mouth like so many others. R.I.P to a legend, i just hope he knew that he wasn't alone and that he's found peace at last. crazy to think how we've lost so many of our biggest influences in the past 10 years alone.. showing how fragile life is is an understatement 💔
I didn't have a huge attachment to the band but i teared up too. Not just for the music but because he seemed so unhappy for so long. The death of his son, the anger over the Shrek memes, the public ridicule of him losing it on stage, and I'm sure there were other reasons. To see someone become so successful yet be so miserable they drink themselves to death is heartbreaking. RIP, Steve. 💙💙💙
I was only made aware of the news of his hospice care yesterday evening & it’s so devastating that this happened not even 24 hours later. Smash Mouth really were one of the voices of my childhood. Songs like All Star, Then The Morning Comes & Walkin on the Sun really piqued my early interest in music. It is tragic & difficult to accept another legend from what seems like such a short time ago no longer being with us.
I was on the dance team my soph. yr in highschool, one of our halftime dances was to All Star. So yeah, hearing them zips me all the way back! Breakin my heart seeing ya with your shades on to hide tears 💔 Astro Lounge is one I can play all the way thru, no skips. RIP Steve and thanks for everything.
Another piece of my childhood is gone. Thank you Steve Harwell for all the memories Steve. Watching Shrek and listening to _All Star_ and _I’m A Believer_ was the best times to be a kid! Rest in peace Steve. ❤
Now the bassist is the only remaining original member of Smash Mouth now. RIP Steve Harwell. 😢😢😖
"Astro Lounge" was a cool album, but didn't really discover it until 2005 or so. "Then the Morning Comes" was the group's best song, IMO.
Obviously besides being introduced to them cause of the first “Shrek” movie, I remember hearing Smash Mouth songs in other movies I watched as a child and my favorite song by them is “Hang On” from the live-action “Cat in the Hat” movie. That song is ridiculously underrated in my opinion and one of their best. RIP to Steve
What Smash Mouth was to me was simply My Childhood. I was 7 when Astro Lounge came out, it was something my Mom(Rest her soul) brother and me listened to on weekends going to the mall. We did it so often it became tradition as we grew older. It hit me like a truck to hear he passed. At least mom can listen to him sing in heaven. RIP Steve you were THE All star.
I get you. Even though I was never into pop-rock back then, Smash Mouth gives me that happy-summer-time vibes from what people now call the Y2K years. Steve Harwell is stapled to my early teenhood memories as a cultural icon of the times. His passing is sad to me because of all those memories that are connected to him, like a passing of the memories themselves. So to me, he represents more than a singer and more than himself, like he's part of the cultural zeitgeist of the late 90s to early 00s.
Smash Mouth had the hits, there’s no denying that. I enjoy plenty of songs by Smash Mouth and as fun as All Star still is, it’s a great time when it’s sung at karaoke. My favorite is Walkin’ on the Sun and their cover of Why Can’t We Be Friends and that’s to name a few. Thank you Smash Mouth for the music and for being around my early years of growing up in the 2000s
RIP to an absolute legend. May you walk on the sun forever
Nobody deserves to die. Rest in peace and my condolences to his family and friends.
Everyone will die, but nobody deserves to die at only 56 years old.
Death is a natural part of life. But he clearly died early.
I was very sad to hear that Steve Harwell died, may he Rest In Paradise
Most iconic song of the late 90s imo. They had a bunch of great hits, but All Star is THE song of the late 90s, of which there are tons of contenders. It's that good and that important. Shrek put that song on the map too.
Just seeing that clip of the All Star music video hit me with such a strong gut punch of nostalgia...... I know it's nothing new to feel that way but lately it's been hitting really hard.
Smashmouth couldn’t be avoided in the late 90s and 2000s. You couldn’t go anywhere without hearing them. I even owned two of there albums which were actually really great ! Smashmouth was def a huge part of the soundtrack to our lives .. RIP Steve
Once again you manage to make me emotional over someone who's work I don't know much of at all. My heart goes out to his family and anyone who he and his work had such a positive impact on the way they did for you.
Man that's sad.
My most fond memory of Smash Mouth was obviously both All Star and their cover of I'm A Believer being on Shrek, but I did know Walkin' On The Sun and also Hang On prob for watching The Cat In The Hat as a kid.
I knew they weren't famous just off of Shrek, I mean by watching the All Star music vid you can already tell.
But yeah they were a really fun band that I always rescpected. They weren't cringy to look back on, the music held up and Steve was always on board with the resurgence of All Star. He never got oversaturated of it cause he embraced it. He knew he made a great song and was proud of it, which not lot a lot of people do once a song of yours gets memefied.
He will die a legend and he was trully an all star. He's now walkin on the sun all the way up in heaven, if he was a believer, and yes, we can be friends, we always could've. Sorry for the bad phuns, I tried to end on a good note but I got caught up in it.
NO! This is so sad:( Rest in peace. Their music really does make me happy when I hear it.
I had the self titled Smash Mouth album when I was a kid and I remember seeing Shrek in theaters. It is so sad to see what was a part of my childhood die. First, one of my dogs that I had since late elementary school passes, then Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) and now Steve Harwell. Tbh I’m having a great year, but the biggest downside of this year is seeing my childhood fade away. RIP Steve Harwell.
I’m glad we were alerted, but it’s still disappointing. It doesn’t even feel real it happened so fast.
RIP Steve Harwell. I was never the biggest Smash Mouth fan but they did have some songs that I liked. It always sad when a talented artist passed away. All Star and their cover of I'm A Believer are bangers.
Beyond saddening. RIP Steve. You will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace Steve Harwell. This band were a big part of my early teenage years, I remembered all the lyrics to All Star and would always annoy my family by singing it. Years later I sat down and gave Fush Yu Mang a listen and it was one of the finest experiences I've had listening to music before. Fun from front to back, truly a treat to listen to. This band may be made fun of or only enjoyed ironically, but I always loved their music with all of my heart. Also shoutout to Pacific Coast Party because that song makes me weirdly emotional every time I hear it and especially will be now.
Godspeed Steve, into the arms of the unconditional and to those who have crossed over before. You and your son, Pressley, are together again.
You did well here on Earth. From a 70s Classic Rock lover to a cool different band with a cool front man! Much love and respect 🙏
Sincerely.
I'll be driving to tune of Astro Lounge and/or Fush Yu Mang in tribute today. RIP to a legend.
Mfw the years stop coming... 🥺
I was lucky to see Smash Mouth with Steve perform before the first game of UCF's 2019 football season. I didn't care that much for football, but me and my stoner buddy Avery went just to see Smash Mouth. We got to be front row off to the side... & and then, for my first time, I moshed to a non-punk/metal song...their cover of "I'm A Believer". Steve cracked some jokes (& some more beers that the audience handed him). ..it was one of my most fun moments of my time in college. RIP STEVE 🙏🖤
And is it me, or are a lot of celebrities dying recently? Bob Barker and Jimmy Buffett was just a few days ago.
Yep. Super sad.
I'm glad he didn't linger in hospice for a long time. Rip
RIP to a legend. Smash Mouth will remain one of my fave artists of the 2000s
He told us we were all stars when no one else would.
Believe it or not Smash Mouths music really got me through high-school
The song 'Everyday Superhero' really made me feel better about myself after all the bullying I took
R.I.P to a legend from our childhoods
Can't say I'm a huge fan of Smash Mouth, but they've got some good songs and what a legend Harwell was, RIP
Going beyond the obvious to talk about, "Walkin' On The Sun" is one of my favorite Summer songs of all-time. It embodies the feel-good spirit of Summer absolutely perfectly, and "Pacific Coast Party" is up there as well. Not to mention the band's appearance at the end of the 2001 film Rat Race and their song used on the TV show Alias...Smash Mouth has had a quite an impact on various points of both my childhood and my adulthood and their music coincides with memories for me. Rest in peace, Steve Harwell, you were truly an All Star :(
Fallen Horses is genuinely one of the greatest songs ever written. Rest in peace, Steve✊♥️
I live in San Jose, where Smash Mouth originally hail from, and the club where they played their first-ever show in 1995 is about a block away from the theater I work at, so today I took a walk over there to see where it all started. RIP to a voice and persona that embodies the era of 1997-2003. ⭐️
RIP Steve Harwell and Jimmy Buffett
RIP Steve Harwell. He was a musical legend who’s music will live on forever. May this all star continue to rock on in heaven. 🤘
I’ve got the Astro lounge CD sitting in my truck. My friends and I would blast it at stop lights and we loved it lol. Just a great album, like you said, a feel good time. When reading about Steve’s son dying, it always felt like it explained the alcoholism. I don’t think he ever stopped hurting. He still put out music, he still toured and by all accounts I’ve read, he was a great dude. Thanks for all the music and memories, Steve. RIP
RIP legend
Rest in Peace, Steve Harwell - forever an All Star
I found a copy of astro lounge and the Shrek and Shrek 2 soundtrack at a used bookstore a few years ago and honestly I haven't struck gold like that in a very long time. RIP Steve, thank you for creating such fond childhood memories for us millennials.
I was in Naperville Illinois flying a small plane for the first time, and I looked over and I saw a huge crowd gathering it look like a fair was going on. Little dots gathering. I told myself that when we landed, I was going to go and check whatever that was out because I was free the rest of the day. That was one of my favorite days of my life, because I just stumbled upon a carnival fair with a cool live band and next was to be headlined by Smash Mouth! I got to rock it out front row and relive my childhood. This was 2013. R.I.P.
I love your T shirt Jon!
I'm glad more people are talking about Smash Mouth because they are a really fun band even if some of their songs get memed on a lot.
R.I.P. Steve Harwell
You will be missed.
I am a '90s kid and I remember hearing All Star back in 1999 and as a longtime fan, I am crushed. I also enjoy certain pre-All Star songs.
All-Star is an all time classic, unironically. Walking on the Sun is amazing too. Dude really got talent
Really special guy! So many songs, and that very good vibe! A hug from Brasil. Rest in Peace Steve, thank you!!!
Obviously I heard All Star because of Shrek and also Come On Come On because they cameoed on Kim Possible singing and it was in Big Fat Liar with Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes, but for me it’s their song Hang On from The Cat in the Hat that I grew up with and listened to the most. And even though the movie sucked, I still have a soft spot for that song and even re-listened to it after hearing the news and it actually hits even harder now. Smash Mouth was basically part of my childhood so hearing the news broke my heart. Sending prayers to his family and his band.
Greetings from Venezuela. Astrolounge was one of my favorite CDs in that moment what an album, excellent band. All songs I Love it, but one in particular in my mind, Stoned. RIP Steve.
Just a minor correction... 1997 Smash Mouth burst onto the scene with their big hit "Walkin on the Sun" from their album "Fush Yu Mang"... it was 1999 when Astro Lounge came out and then "All-Star" was released, and was a hit even before it went into Shrek's soundtrack where it seems that is more where it's associated for its legacy. R.I.P. Steve Harwell, even though this comment is late I grew up with Smash Mouth before that meme
RIP to Steve. I especially loved their first album, such a fun ska punk album. Such a fun band, sad day today
R.I.P. Steve Harwell🥀🎤
The first time I heard his voice was when NOW 4 (US) had featured Smash Mouth's single Then The Morning Comes which to this day still remains my favorite song by the band
Steve Harwell!!! RIP from Argentina
Never really a fan per se, but I have fond childhood memories of Smash Mouths songs, most of them coming from movies. Such sad news. RIP Steve Harwell. Life truly is unpredictable, live it to the fullest.
Rip Steve the All Star. Astro Lounge is my favorite album and I still listen to it to this day.
As the saying goes, there goes my childhood...and only 24 hours after news of him being in hospice broke. Now he is truly an allstar
Rip
I was in 9th grade when All-Star came out. I really miss those days. RIP
Astro Lounge is a landmark album for “one hit wonders” never have a band lived rent free in so many spaces
Smash Mouth was a big part of my childhood, this hits deep. RIP Steve
Damn I just saw last night/early this morning he was on hospice care with only days left. Wasn’t entirely sure if it was hearsay or not. Very sad, RIP
Dude holy fuck. Rest in peace... He's with his son now.
Rest in peace, you’ll always be an all star
Got no words to say about this news. I'm really sad. RIP to Steve Harwell
R.I.P. Steve Harwell. You will forever be the all star. Have a good time in heaven
As a mashup artist of the internet age, Smash Mouth is legendary for its place in meme culture and Neil Cicierega's expansion of that into entire mashup albums, and I wouldn't be doing the thing I'm infamous for in my circles if Steve's voice hadn't inspired the keystone of mashup culture.
Also I just fucking love Smash Mouth, they're a goddamn good band and it's never a bad time to listen to them.
I agree, there are very few songs more iconic than All Star. It's so unfair that our favorite musicians don't live forever.
Are you okay, Jon?
I’m ok. Thanks for asking!
F in the chat to a legend
Steve Harwell had a fun guest episode of What's New Scooby-Doo, and a few post All Star Smash Mouth songs found their way into other episodes. That show introduced me to a lot of good music, and they were part of that.
R.I.P.
R.I.P. Steven.
Rip thanks for putting your song in shrek
Absolutely devastating. I liked a lot of their stuff, especially their first album. Rest in peace Steve 🙏
R.I.P Steve Harwell, you'll be missed, you made our childhoods amazing ♥️
One of my first favourite songs as far as I can remember
I might be the biggest Smash Mouth fan. From the Flush Yu Mang album to Magic. I loved them all. With the exception of Get the Picture. I also used Defeat You as my backyard Wrestling Theme since I was kid. Rip Harwell I know it’s late
R.I.P Steve Harwell. You will be missed!
Thank you Astro lounge was really good please review it king
I have such fond memories of playing the game Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure on the gamecube with my brother and neighbor as a kid, and the song Pacific Coast Party was one of the highlights of that game’s tracklist. That song never fails to cheer me up. Rest in peace Steve
RIP their cover of im a believer was amazing
I was 16 when Walkin' on the Sun came out and loved it. Thanks for the memories Steve. Rest in power.
Rest in peace...
I was in highschool school after the time and I mostly remember them from not Shrek but this other movie called Rat Race, which was awesome and I remember that song being played everywhere I loved it. Rest in peace❤
R.I.P. Steve harewell (1957-2023) "god’s all star"
R.I.P. Steve Harwell……..
I am so shocked that he’s gone…
Astro Lounge is such a classic album. Crazy to think he is gone so young.
The only album I own from them is Get The Picture, but I plan to check out the others too.
He will be remembered 🥲
The funny thing is I really like All Star in spite of not really being the biggest Shrek fan. That and Walking On the Sun are insanely catchy.
Get The Picture is a brilliant pop/rock album. RIP
Been listening to WASTE all morning....super sad....R.I.P steve
I didn't know smash mouth at all until Shrek of course I heard that song and I loved it never knew it was smash mouth but I hate to say I'm 21 now and just now getting to listening to them because I only heard all star and walking on the sun and I took forgranted how good this band actually is and now I'm listening to them and realizing what I missed out on rip Steve you will be missed🙏. P.s Artv your content is awesome and so glad to have subbed to you long ago and keeping up with awesome music news keep it up man:)
