I worked overnight security at a nice hotel in Seattle. Pink was staying there and arrived late at night. At that point in the evening, we don't have a bellstaff so Security did check-ins. I had to take her bags up to her room. When I got there, I knocked on the door and she opened it. She looked at the bags and said, "Those aren't mine? Where are my bags?" I didn't understand how that mix-up could have happened. Maybe these were her staff's in a different room? But they hadn't requested bell service. They brought up their own. I must have looked quite panicked. I started to say how sorry I was and Pink just started laughing and said, "I'm just fucking with you. Put them right over there." She tipped me $20 for the 4 bags I'd brought up, asked me how my night was going and thanked me on my way out. She was really cool.
I've only heard good things about interactions with her. From my understanding she's remained humble through her personal struggles. I guess that's kinda evident by her marrying Carey Hart
i rang in the millennium, standing in the street, having been kicked out of a party for playing too loud. my drummer has some random chicks tongue in his throat, and we’re having an incredible night.
I get why people thought Pink was hot, but I couldn't get past the idea that she looked just like my trailer trash cousin. Dressed just like her too. Just weirds me out, man
Oh, come on, Seven Nation Army was big because it's good. Not everyone can come up with a riff that memorable. I don't care if it's commercialized or not, a good song is a good song. And their Elephant album is 10/10.
It's very rare to see a rock band that can make just two instruments work, and they do it damn well. The "bass line" in seven nation army is just a guitar tuned as low as possible. Super impressive
my mom found a pay phone a couple weeks ago while at the mall in the city where she is currently staying. she sent me a picture of it and was like "wooaahhh! check it out," as if its some lost, ancient artifact that mustnt be disturbed x.x lmaaooo
“But you…. You wasted your youth on real punk…. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF??!” Literally me. I love pop punk style way way more as a ~30 year old boomer for whatever reason. If I could only go back and do it all over again, I’d be a the Simple Plan show hunting whale tail. Tragic.
I used to record music videos on VHS as a teen, and I caught Dirrty one time, cant tell you how many times I've paused, rewound, and finally found the spot, and then j4€ked it shamelessly to stills of CA, complete with streaks across the screen and everything. It doesn't get more 2000's than the VHS spanking experience! EDIT: and then 20 seconds later you accidentally pause at the moneyshot, brilliant!
VHS jerking is more an 80s/90s thing. By the 00s, internet 'pron' was readily available for the masses. But damn, in those late century decades, VHS (or the randomly found Playboy) was all you had access to. I remember stories of rental stores needing to replace Fast Times VHS religiously as that Phoebe Cates scene would wear out the tape.
Haha well it was very much a 00's thing for me! We were low middle class, didn't even have a dvd player, and almost no internet at all, I'm talking 10 minuts load for a pic, and 3 weeks for a 3 minute live video of blink on limewire. Besides I was too young to even dare look for pron on the family computer! @@acerimmer8338
The irony is lost on Affliction T-shirt Finn for calling “Seven Nation Army” indie, when it’s been the defacto Butt Rock/Stadium Rock anthem for the last 20 years.
I loved simple plan at age 12. I basically taught myself drums because their drums were a good starting point for a young drummer. Was obsessed with blink but could never play the legendary Travis barkers drum parts as a beginner so simple plan and good charlotte made me into a “drummer” who then eventually could play blink 182 songs. Thank you for that simple plan. Playing drums is so fun and a great way to get out both aggression and creativity while feeling like a badass. So glad I picked that up. I encourage anyone who wants to try. Also, shout out to all the cool parents who endured their horrible kids obnoxiously loud drums because they are awesome and supportive and apologies to my childhood neighbors.
7 Nation Army just gets me pumped, man. I'm not a huge White Stripes fan, either, but they had a few songs I really enjoyed. Mike Jones was ok, I just got SO annoyed hearing him say his name all the time. A lot of rappers did it, especially then, though. Aside from that he actually had some good stuff. There was some surprising hip hop songs from that era that aged pretty well. Some songs I actually like more now than I did then. Like "So What" by Ciara ft. Field Mob. The lyrics were actually pretty smooth and their flow were clean, too.
Dude the whole reason people wore do-rags was to sleep in them. "DO"--rag, as in hair-"DO." It was to maintain the hair style, particularly the waves hairstyle, while the person was sleeping as to not ruin the style. Then it worked its way from the home out into the streets. Which was funny when white guys like Eminem, wore them because it wasn't for white hair.
I remember every frame from the Dirrty music video but not a single note of the song. Seven Nation Army becoming a sports anthem was a bit more organic. It began with soccer chants invented by fan groups, but then it travelled to North American sports where they play things over the loudspeakers to get the fans into it.
Seven Nation Army. Whole football stadiums are singing the melody with other words, probably without realizing it's from the White Stripes. A little too catchy for it's own good.
I miss the early 2000s. It was great for me because I was a teenager having the time of my life. Now its 2023, im old and most of my childhood friends are dead. 😢. I'd give up almost anything to go back to 2001 for one night and be a kid again.
Props to Daddy Finn and his shout out to H-town ❤ Also, Finn, you've been talking up this bbq, I think you should make it happen somehow. It sounds dope
Imo seven nation army stood the test of time. I remember a couple of years ago playing that song with my band in rock bars and it's the song that people got the most excited about. People get hyped with that song to this day.
Simple plan did swear coz in the uncut version of I’m just a kid he says “what the fuck is wrong with me” and when my 8 year old self heard that it destroyed me
That number Mike Jones had in that song went to a voicemail of him and apparently every once in a while he would answer it. If I remember correctly, he answered it when it was ringing on TRL or some other MTV show
Simple Plan is the band that can always get me through a tough time. I might not know how to say how I’m feeling but I can find a Simple Plan song that sums up how I’m feeling 100%
any time i see any green day slander, i feel the need to bring up the time they came to my bar for karaoke night, racked up a tab of almost $1k with their groupies and then walked out without ever paying
Pierre is such a nice guy but boy did I find these guys way too g-rated for me. Same for Something Corporate and the Starting Line. I was in my 20s during this time. I did a few Warped dates in 2001 and he happened to be behind me in line at the after show BBQ (grillmastered by El Hefe!) and for no reason literally tapped me in the shoulder and introduced himself....I had no idea who he was until I saw him on TV what must have been months later. Last time I saw them was at the Epcot food and wine festival and they actually put on a really great set for the circumstances. Pierre did a couple of songs behind the drum kit too I was impressed. I had no idea he came from Reset until it was mentioned in one of your older videos if I remember correctly.
Simple Plan was too poppy and not enough punk. Killed their credibility and meant they only appealed to more normie fans who ditched them as trends changed. That's why the sold a lot of albums but aren't talked about and aren't that big anymore given how many albums they once sold.
Finn, what is your call on Synthwave? Particularly, modern synthwave like, Gunship, Power glove, etc. Gunship has a new album coming out in a few days, so I thought I would mention them.
A genuine reason to love West Virginia...back in the 90's, I traveled the country most of the year bowling for cash in tournaments, gambling, etc. We occasionally would partake in some female strippage clubbing...anyway, we hit this kinda dive bar/strip club kind of in the middle of nowhere WV, cheap beer, laundromat queens, but then we looked up at the main stage to catch Gemini, and she was dancing naked...while breast feeding her baby! I think I either gave her two fifties or a hundred dollar bill. We all did.Greatest thing ever...true story....
Durags are literally sleepwear. It’s how you do waves. You’re forcing the hair to grow in tightly against the scalp, training it into a tight shape. Then you take it off during the day and brush a lot and moisturize.
I'm from small town Texas/Louisiana line. In the 90s and 2000s, nothing cool reached us until six years after it was a thing UNLESS it was from Houston, Dallas or NOLA. We were actually shocked seeing some of these dudes on MTV. Goatwhore didn't seem to fair as well...
In Australia, we have free public payphones. They're few and far between but they exist. Just in case of emergencies or whatever. The other week on my way to work, I saw some woman in her late 40s/early 50s just sitting at one on a yard chair making calls. You do you, I guess 😂
I've ALWAYS thought Simple Plan was underrated and overhated and way more significant than they're given credit for. Glad to have my adolescent self finally feel validated! 🥰
The White Stripes really annoyed me. They couldn´t really play, their singer can´t really sing. But every magazine and everyone of their readers acted like the White Stripes were the biggest invention of mankind since the invention of the wheel. Bayern Munich use Seven Nation Army as their goal jingle. A proof that this club and their supporters are basic as anyone can be.
Finn, for your 1 million sub milestone you HAVE to throw an actual barbeque and invite all the people you said you'd invite! I think with your extensive list of contacts you could actually reach a lot of those people, around some corners. Wouldn't that be awesome? :D
Lol whale tail. I was in high school from 2000-2004, “whale tail” was the greatest thing ever. In my high school I was friends with the metalheads and punks. Black metal and death metal were the big things, and for punk it was bands like the Misfits and Rancid. Pop punk was for sellouts and Emo really hadn’t quite hit yet but we thought it was super lame. I liked Industrial, goth rock, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, Cradle of Filth, bands like that. But Slipknot was also big, Linkin Park but that was kinda nu-metal which I’d moved on from.
Also, the White Stripes are awesome! Jack White's the man. His latest double-album that just came out is badass. Some of his best stuff in years. But for each their own, Finn. You have every right to be wrong.
The White Stripes/Jack White are incredibly overrated. Because all the music critics gave him the Saviors approval for the music industry in 2001, he just releases the most awful and abrasive sounding music and people just accept it even though they know it sounds awful. He could have a song composed of sounds from him farting on his guitar and people would think it is brilliant.
You know you're absolutely invincible in the eyes of gatekeepers when you can release a song with Insane Clown Posse and nobody bats an eye... we all need some of that Jack White goodwill.
I recently discovered that my colleague at work is one degree separated from Jack White. His previous bandmade played bass with Jack White at Glastonbury.
My friend and I were skating and Jack White hit em with his car and he rolled down his window and said I’m Jack white and I’m late for a party. I spit in his face and he sped off.
Even close to me, their are the ancient remanence of payphones. In the form of the payphone box still strangely existing, even after the actual phone itself has been long gone. But they act as a reminder of what once was. Much like how people in the early middle ages gazed in astonishment to what a previous generation was able to accomplish. But knowing this superior era is now long gone, and people of this time are only left with the few relics still remaining.
Do rags and bonnets are in the same category. Initially, they're what you wore to sleep at night. So you wouldn't ruin your hair whether it was braided or Corn rose.
Pay phones. Lmao I saw one in Mexico recently, but the receiver was broken in half and the wires were coming out. I’m going to always wonder what the last conversation was on that phone.
The riff from "Seven Nation Army" was apparently conceived at a local venue in my city (The Corner Hotel in Melbourne, Australia) and people repeat this alleged fact ad nauseam as though thats something to be proud of...
there are 2-3 operational pay phones in downtown Charleston, WV.. one is in the most popular alleyway where all the high school girls have their senior pics taken
The White Stripes are my least favorite rock band of all time. They ruined my local rock station for me lol. 0/10 would take Nickelback ANY day over them.
Remember when there was that movie about guitar playing with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White, ... and everyone's take away was "Why is The Edge in this movie!?". When the real question should have been "Why is Jack White in this film!?". Jimmy Page and The Edge are two of the most influential guitarists who are still alive (along with Slash, Gilmore and Clapton) who have enough Hits to fill multiple "Best Of" compilations, ... whereas Jack White has what three songs that were popular for two or three years max! People clown on The Edge all of the time but anyone who has ever tried to accurately play his stuff will tell you that it's not about finger dexterity or virtuoso playing, it's about very intricate and precise timing and interacting with the multiple delays at the same time, it's way harder to do than you'd expect and that's what makes him instantly recognizable as a guitarist. Jimmy Page is Jimmy Page. Whereas Jack White is such a generic guitar player he could be replaced with the guy from Jet or Franz Ferdinand, and most people wouldn't notice. I'll never understand the appeal of the White Stripes or Jack White, it just feels like a guy doing his best Johnny Depp impression while sniffing his own farts.
That movie should have been Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, and Richie Blackmore. The kings of 70s British hard rock and heavy metal. The Edge and Jack White suck.
What do u even mean?? I would absolutely invite Tre Cool to my barbecue! He would slam 8 glizzys and make a wave pool that could sink a boat lol. Hes a menace to society and im here for it.
I saw them about a month ago with The Offspring and Sum 41. They put On a really good show and I wasn’t really into them back in the day. They had me converted a bit and they seem like really good dudes. Made me feel bad for hating on them and a couple of kids in my class for liking them back in middle school.
I fell out of love with Seven Nation Army. Yes the riff is easily memorable, but it's so incredibly basic. The song as a whole sinks into the background so way too easily. I can only assume it's the reason why this is the only song from the White Stripes that the radio plays.

Even close to me, their are the ancient remanence of payphones. In the form of the payphone box still strangely existing, even after the actual phone itself has been long gone. But they act as a reminder of what once was. Much like how people in the early middle ages gazed in astonishment to what a previous generation was able to accomplish. But knowing this superior era is now long gone, and people of this time are only left with the few relics still remaining.
Fell in love with a girl is another good white stripes song
Do rags and bonnets are in the same category. Initially, they're what you wore to sleep at night. So you wouldn't ruin your hair whether it was braided or Corn rose.
Hi Finn! Did you make the video last 20:00 on purpose? If so, I Love It :)
Pay phones. Lmao
I saw one in Mexico recently, but the receiver was broken in half and the wires were coming out. I’m going to always wonder what the last conversation was on that phone.
The riff from "Seven Nation Army" was apparently conceived at a local venue in my city (The Corner Hotel in Melbourne, Australia) and people repeat this alleged fact ad nauseam as though thats something to be proud of...
Dude, sleeping in du rags is what they're actually made for. It became a style thing.
Seven Nation Army holds up as the song that crowds at sports arenas around the world still chant the melody for.
there are 2-3 operational pay phones in downtown Charleston, WV.. one is in the most popular alleyway where all the high school girls have their senior pics taken
The White Stripes are my least favorite rock band of all time. They ruined my local rock station for me lol. 0/10 would take Nickelback ANY day over them.
Greatest random freeze of video, I think we got to see some P...y Lip? Good job !
Actually that's what durags were for, to protect your braids, waves, etc while sleeping, chilling, not doing anything
I thought Mike Jones was bald though
@@eliminator173maybe now
that is a true W wife move
Those plastic straps were the worst. They did dig in, and broke so quickly.
Christina Aguilera's hair always looked so greasy back then.😭
"Simple plan were the last to pop off in the pop punk scene, 2002-2003."
That was 1996-1997 in Canada man. Exchange rates matter, even in music.
Tre Cool can come to my party anyway
Houston rap was SO HUGE back then
Remember when there was that movie about guitar playing with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White,
... and everyone's take away was "Why is The Edge in this movie!?".
When the real question should have been "Why is Jack White in this film!?".
Jimmy Page and The Edge are two of the most influential guitarists who are still alive (along with Slash, Gilmore and Clapton) who have enough Hits to fill multiple "Best Of" compilations,
... whereas Jack White has what three songs that were popular for two or three years max!
People clown on The Edge all of the time but anyone who has ever tried to accurately play his stuff will tell you that it's not about finger dexterity or virtuoso playing, it's about very intricate and precise timing and interacting with the multiple delays at the same time, it's way harder to do than you'd expect and that's what makes him instantly recognizable as a guitarist.
Jimmy Page is Jimmy Page.
Whereas Jack White is such a generic guitar player he could be replaced with the guy from Jet or Franz Ferdinand, and most people wouldn't notice.
I'll never understand the appeal of the White Stripes or Jack White, it just feels like a guy doing his best Johnny Depp impression while sniffing his own farts.
That movie should have been Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, and Richie Blackmore. The kings of 70s British hard rock and heavy metal. The Edge and Jack White suck.
Yo Finn! Durags are for sleeping to protect your waves or corn rows 😂...!
What do u even mean?? I would absolutely invite Tre Cool to my barbecue! He would slam 8 glizzys and make a wave pool that could sink a boat lol. Hes a menace to society and im here for it.
I knew a girl in high school who liked Simple Plan, we used to mess with her and call them Terrible Plan, lol she stopped talking to me after that
I saw them about a month ago with The Offspring and Sum 41. They put On a really good show and I wasn’t really into them back in the day. They had me converted a bit and they seem like really good dudes. Made me feel bad for hating on them and a couple of kids in my class for liking them back in middle school.
Oh gawd the dumb things we say to girls at that age. I called the friend of my mega crush "fat". Yeah, she hated me after that, rightfully so.
I fell out of love with Seven Nation Army. Yes the riff is easily memorable, but it's so incredibly basic. The song as a whole sinks into the background so way too easily. I can only assume it's the reason why this is the only song from the White Stripes that the radio plays.
Is pole dancing still considered inherently dirty? My friend just does it in her room for the exercise.
To hell with 7 nation. Im forced to play it for pep band cause its the first song the newcomers learn. I hear it in my sleep when I get nightmares.
