I love Alien Ant Farm but pure vibes aren’t enough to become highly rated. You need a great songwriter, and they plainly did not have one. Wish, Smooth Criminal and Movie are basically their only hits. 1 is a cover and another only got popular because of Tony Hawk’s. In essence, they’re a 1 hit wonder; Movies.
@@FactsBeFacts tell me you've never listened to an acoustic interpretation of a single song in your life without telling me that... well you know the rest. touch grass bozo, you sound like a fkn kuhnt
@@FactsBeFacts Yea, he sand the chorus like an octave lower or something which really takes the wind out of the song. A lot of young, energetic bands write their vocal melodies at the top of their range, and it's hard to sing there every night on tour, especially as you get older. True, it could be a stylistic choice here, but, like I said, it absolutely took the wind out of the hook.
@@CharlieBravo887 It was defo on purpose, if you look up the song from the las vegas show last year or many of the recent shows he can sing in the original key still.
Amazing how he still sounds so good. And the band. Takes me back to being 9years old, one of the first albums I bought was ANThology, can’t wait to see them in London November time, gonna be pure nostalgia.
@@closinginonclosure this is exactly how they used to play it 20 odd years ago when they would do it acoustically. when Movies first came out this version was one of the b-sides.
@@martinlynch2965 Yes, I'm aware. You may have misunderstood my sentiment. Tons of bands pitch down acoustic versions and take certain liberties for an acoustic version. That's very normal because it's obviously a stripped down version with acoustic energy. I wasn't suggesting that they only did this because he can't sing it in a higher range. I was just saying that despite being pitched down, he's still struggling and definitely doesn't sound like he used to. I've heard the old recording of the acoustic version, and I've heard various performances on radio stations and stuff. He used to sound much better and have much better control. Also, is your first name Martin? My name is Martin. Don't see many other Martin's. Haha. Also, I just turned 39, so I lived through this bands come up and when this album came out and they had Smooth Criminal on TRL and all of that.
@@flyingsquid42 What do mean didn't write any song? lol The guy was a founding member and wrote numerous songs with the band for over a decade. He was the heart because of his iconic bass parts, backing vocals, and stage presence. Your comment is pointless and ill-informed.
Alien Ant Farm is one of those bands where it doesn't matter what kind of sub-genres of rock and metal people are into, everyone has a major soft-spot for them - me & my friends loved them in the 2000's
I agree, I always thought this song would have been way better with just some basic power chords. The original chords just sound too fuzzy for acoustic especially when he is singing it so slowed down.
I remember jamming to this album, sun 41 and blink 182 when I was in like first grade. Damn those were the days!! This song was always my favorite ant farm jam.
You could have told me years ago that I would need to hear Alien Ant Farm to make me feel nostalgic in a way I haven’t in a long time. I would have told you were crazy. I’m so happy to be here today.
Hell yeah guys. The video for movies was one of my favorite videos of those times brings back a lot of good memories, so thanks for playing this for us guys
Man, I first heard your band on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and bough ANThology because of it. That record was perfection. From time to time I still come back to it. Great to see that you're still sounding the same:)
just saw them on the 4th in Chicago. the best show i've been to in a very long ass time. These guys saved my life on so many occasions. i cannot thank them enough.
These guys were always underrated
Name 3 other good songs by them other than this

Urrghhhh. Man, oh man. Im in tears. Im 42. Nuff said. If ya know, ya know. Times have changed..... Take me back to the early 2000's
same age but let's start with 1992 and move from there, brother ;)
@charlespancamo9771 sounds like heaven
I knew the singer had a good voice, but man… He killed it.
Totally disagree, he couldn't perform it worse if he tried. Key changes in pitch that are integral to the song are completely missing.
@@FactsBeFactsThis is a toned down acoustic version after all. They're not necessarily sung the same way as the original studio track.

WHAAAAAT I had no idea they were visiting the UK
He sounds awful here.
You think this sounds good? 🤔 Your ears ok, bud? He pitched the song down to make it easier to sing, and still sounds rough.

Tye was the heart of this band. His presence is sorely missed.
exactly what I was thinking
Feels like an AAF cover band now.
Nah, he was way too cringe. I actually prefer the band without him in it.

💯💯💯💯 hard agree brother
Holy shit his voice is SO damn good. Its aged like wine!!
It's great seeing them in today's light ❤😘
These guys were ahead of thier time for sure... love them
Undoubtedly one of the songs from this era and style that has aged the best musically
This album was SO good. I miss these guys
THIS SONG MAKES
ME CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR THEM :( OLD GOOD TIMES
I'm here for ya bro. I can genuinely relate to what your feeling. I'm 42 bro. I get it 😎🤙
Loved this. So excited about seeing them in Sydney in February
Man the nostalgia is real, loved aaf still do
LOVE this song, stoked that in 2024 we get an Idobi Acoustic Sess from them!!!!
Alien Ant Farm is one of those bands where it doesn't matter what kind of sub-genres of rock and metal people are into, everyone has a major soft-spot for them - me & my friends loved them in the 2000's
Such an underrated song and band. Love it!
I just feel really sad that we are getting older. Didn’t realise how good all this was back then
F man! Same.
Same
This song holds a special meaning to me. Glad to see the guys still rockin.
Nostalgia overload. I love it
Still hits the feels every time man, love it.
Yes! Yes! A million times, yes!
Some of the guitar choices in this version are puzzling.
How is no one else mentioning this? 🤣
The bridge - oof lol.
It's some prog nonsense going around in rock and metal these days. Even Nickelback's latest album was mostly crap.
Love them but they butchered one of my favourite songs
I agree, I always thought this song would have been way better with just some basic power chords. The original chords just sound too fuzzy for acoustic especially when he is singing it so slowed down.
Your single was the first I ever purchased with money I earned.
The second CD I ever bought was Anthology 🤘🏻
Man I love these guys! They were so underrated.
They still are
I remember jamming to this album, sun 41 and blink 182 when I was in like first grade. Damn those were the days!! This song was always my favorite ant farm jam.
It's a good ant fart jar.
I love them so much. I am glad they are still making music! Their new album is ace!
One of the best band in the world
They look great
This is one of them ALL TIME Great tracks~ they still got it~ Love this song
this was-ah great-ah
SO SO SO GOOD! I’ve been playing this the whole day.
Legends
awesome
This is my favorite AAF song. This sounds PERFECT 💜
Cool twist on a stellar song.
You won't cry I won't sceam
You could have told me years ago that I would need to hear Alien Ant Farm to make me feel nostalgic in a way I haven’t in a long time. I would have told you were crazy. I’m so happy to be here today.
I love his tone!
He dances sitting the same way he does wen standing! The band is doing great, glad to know they are still around playing
I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
Love Alien Ant Farm forever!!!!
Voice is still spot on! Absolutely loved this song in 01.
kinda wish he mixed it up and sang in the higher register for some of the choruses but he's still a great singer
Yeah, missed opportunity there. His voice still sounds as good as it did way back when, but I missed the original melody in this version.
acoustic version, keeping it chill. I love it
Tye, the original bassist, did the higher vocals in that part.
@@leonelorozco7187 There was no lift from the verse to the chorus.
He sounds great. They should've had way more attention
Nice song🎉
Not sure of their history, but the singer has the face of a man that has been through and seen a lot in his day
