    Tom never took an actual side until the assassination attempt on Trump. 20 hours after that he put out a song they missed. Total fire!!!

    Personally, I like Tom's better because he shouted out his fans. He's so humble. He LOVES HangOverGang (which can include anyone who f*cks with him). You probably won't find an artist who loves his fans more.

    Not gonna lie, even after becoming a big fan of Tom's music, I was nervous as hell to listen to this. In fact, I put it off for a really long time because I knew Tom would have to absolutely slay it because anything less would be seen as a giant L.
    And he happened to slay it. As far as the original, the in your face tone of the song, the subject matter, the nostalgia of it...the track was way ahead of its time and I don't think it can ever be outdone.
    With that said, I identify with and stand behind the words Tom is professing much more than I do with Em's. I also think it has a much more positive, uplifting and powerful message.
    We all have to keep in mind, as well, that Tom created this remix because he was extremely inspired by the original, so much so that it motivated him to want to put his artistry on display in the same way. Artists do this ALL the time and I would bet my mortgage that he didn't make this remix with the intent of trying to be better than the original. No chance. At the end of the day it's an homage.

    I would walk out on Howard Stern too lol. We can agree to disagree . Now my favorite Em song is Stan. Tom saved my life so there are similarities there. But he signed with a label and Tom has not. I feel the same way about about what Em said about Trump.
    Brainwashed, The System, Fake Woke are just a few of of the ones you should check out.
    If you listen to Ronnie Radke and FIR is his journey but exactly its a part of his story.
    Ronnie has a difficult time believing I think mainly because of the death of his brother and his co founder of FIR and guitarist Derek Jones.
    They play arenas now. His videos will blow you mind. Plus he is a friend of Tom. ❤

    I feel u on the original. It was my favorite em track ever, & i don't think anyone can top that track in my mind, just because of how it affected my life, etc (rose colored glasses probably plays a part).
    Edit: i also feel u on the "u can't offend me" point, too. I don't like politics in my music, but i consume lots of content from people i disagree with. Video games & movies have always had left wing leanings, & i used to enjoy lots of movies (Quentin Tarantino is my favorite, but I don't watch movies anymore, really). I still love video games. I listen to K-Rino, a Houston rapper (I'm from Texas) with the best lyricism I've ever heard, & he's a Muslim & incorporates that often in his music, for example. It's only recently that people forced u to pick sides.
    The right used to be against boycotts, cancel culture, etc, & now they participate in those things. We used to be able to disagree & still hang out/be friends. Now, that's not allowed. I can put aside my particular beliefs when i consume art (not like i cancel my faith while I'm hearing a secular album, but i can appreciate it for what it is. I can recognize talent, separate from whether i agree with someone on certain things. People can be talented AND wrong, lol. It's emotional maturity, IMO. It's not easy to explain this to younger people who ARE their opinions instead of having opinions, but u already understand what i mean, i can tell).

    Shinedown's version is only better on the technical. The emotion put into the original wasn't captured in the remake. So vocalization was a definite improvement, but it didn't have the same emotion. CA-NA-DA kid drops emotion in all his music cause it's all personally relevant to him, that's why you can appreciate it as a stand-alone rather than a remake.

    Just a heads up, I'm not sure why or what's going on, but your volume is inconsistent across your videos.
    I'm listening through the Roku app on smart tv, & all the other videos i watch are all at the same volume. On yours, i went from "music industry" reaction, which was normal, to this video,, which is much lower in volume. It only happens on your videos, so i don't think it's an issue on my end (I'm pretty tech savvy).
    I thought it could be just the different locations u are at, but it seems this & the last one are both at the vape shop (where u work, i think?). So, that can't be the reason. I just wanted to let u know so u can figure out what the issue is & fix it. I have definitely stopped watching channels when the volume was inconsistent & almost busted my tv speakers on occasion, so i know it can be an issue for some people (I'm not insinuating i will stop watching u, I'm just saying i know it's possible to lose audience because of volume issues). I will keep watching u, but it would be nice if i didn't have to make sure i had my remote next to me when I'm elsewhere in my apartment listening to your videos.
