Chris, I'll never forget screaming into the mic during "Holly Hox" at Bogarts in Cincinnati during the Vagrant America Tour, 2001. Dashboard and Hot Rod Circuit opened (and maybe TGUK? I know they were on the tour at some point.) Still one of the best shows I've ever been to. My future wife was also at the show and remembers the fat, emo kid screaming "PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MR. HOX!" This album and Cant Slow Down are still in our top 10 albums ever. We saw you earlier this summer in Grand Rapids and it brought it all back. Thank you.
One of my first shows was the Vagrant Across America Tour. The order was the Anniversary, Dashboard Confessional (pre-band), Hot Rod Circuit, Saves the Day. to this day still one of my favorite shows. Saves the Day helped shape my music taste, my guitar playing, my song writing etc. Funny enough, I was introduced to Saves the Day through Max Bemis (in 2000). Through Being Cool changed my life and I connected with it on a level I never had with an artist before.
I stole this CD from my older brother in like 2003 and never stopped listening to it. I still have it in my car all these years later. One of the best of all time.
I jus found out about this album from the PUNK ROCK MBA channel and the host said it’s one of his favorite albums and I jus had to check it out . I love it front to back no skips it’s just great. On repeat for 2 days now
I bought the album based on the cover then realized there are no weak songs on the album which is rare, An iconic record of the era for sure. I got to see them open for H2o when they were promoting this record. They were in their prime then such a great band and such powerful songs.
Their 1st & 2nd album were my soundtracks back when they were came out. Soooooo happy i got introduced to them thru hardcore. What a gems those albums were. Always be a reminder what once was one of the happiest time of my life. It went downhill after that 😅
My friends and I would sing this album at the top of our lungs driving to shows in early 2000’s. Epic album and extremely nostalgic. Chilly nights and warmer thighs are all you need in life.
What’s YOUR favorite track on “Through Being Cool?” Tell us! HINT: it’s “Rocks Tonic Juice Magic” 🤘Don’t forget to subscribe to APTV and turn on all notifications so you never miss a video! Thanks for watching!!🤘
I still listen to this album all the fucking time. I bought it back in 2000. Holy Hox Forget Me Nots is still in my guitar practice regimen nearly 20 years later.
such a great album. still singing along every time I put it on in my car. Didn't lose any of its magic. That's really, really rare. I hope they will play a anniversary tour with all the songs from that album. Please come to Europe
Saves The Day from 1997 to 2001 was C R I M I N A L L Y U N D E R R A T E D I just wish they went back to this era. Its crazy, cause the album "Stay what you are" was a bit more of a departure than "Through Being Cool" was but excellent. After that though it seemed like that something happened they kept on changing and changing and I kept buying the albums and getting disappointed. I dunno man. Still everything from that era was wild. That wasn't even stuff I would normally listen to. I was a complete meathead jock back then. LoL not your typical STD fan.
This was a very great album. Stay What You Are was an album I wasn't sure at first that eventually grew on me. The band as a whole has been on quite a journey with their sound over the years.
Takes me back to 9th grade. I remember first hearing these guys in some sampler I ordered of a mag. (Can’t recall what mag..maybe a thrasher??) They were on it, Holly Hox was the song and still is my favorite song by them, with The get up kids were on it I believe ( 10 minutes from downtown I think it was) And alkaline trio (I believe with that maybe I’ll catch fire song). Anyways this album and the 4 minute mile still get a lot of playtime from me. Good times!!
ziggy from the wire which is one of my favorite shows of all time is on the back cover of through being cool which is one of my favorite albums of all time wtffff
Through Being Cool is hands down the most influential pop punk/emo album of all time. Also, cool to know my favourite STD song is the same as Chris' favourite.
@@altpress I agree fully. In all honestly it's the most impactful of my life and my #1 GOAT. The atmosphere, the guitar tone the lyrics all stunned me. One of those special moments when you hear something and its SO fresh your mind can't logically make sense of it (I used to call it Punk Rock Beatles). I remember asking Chris about In Reverie after a show once and his face lit up and told me what an important piece of work it was for him. Never will forget that. Thing is, for some reason there's little to no inside info on the album at all. With Under the Boards and Daybreak we got a documentary, now we have this video for TBC, but I'm so curious about that album so shrouded in mystery really. No anniversary tours etc. Now I'm rambling, but for real... damn thing is close to perfection.
Cj Williams So well said. When Chris came in to the office to shoot this, we were chatting about In Reverie and I told him that it was my favorite of his records and he also lit up quite a bit and that was so awesome. “Tomorrow Too Late” will be the first dance at my wedding and getting to tell him that and seeing that he was genuinely thrilled about it was such a special moment for me. Chris is one of the nicest guys in the world and really down to talk about whatever. It definitely is punk rock Beatles and the guitar work is so complex and pretty it’s unreal. Their new album is so catchy too. “29” is another STD masterpiece track. It’s 21 minutes and better than most other LPs that came out in 2018.
@@bjaanderson Its terrifyingly underrated. I feel like in 03 people were too "Punk Purist" to accept it. It was the BOLDEST album you could have made when stuff like Stay What You Are and bands like Brand New were what made the genre popular to begin with.
This album is classified as emo but I consider it a classic pop punk album as well. I'm so glad to hear Holly Hox is his favorite song, it's so catch and energetic and different. I'm confused as to which part of the song is the chorus.
Mike Parsons don't be offended by the term emo. The Get Up Kids are technically emo. It's been dumbed down to basically make fun of a band or song because it's about love or even a tad gothic. Kids didn't understand what emo was so they did what they do best, made fun. Emo music has a very rich history in Rock, and it's evolved to what people of our generation call pop punk but music is just so different it's hard to classify artists to such meaningless words. When kids started calling it "the scene" the scene just died. It became a fad and then a parody. And what's worse is that the kids stopped learning how to play instruments. It's sad. I really hope rock makes a come back.
Yo ure telling me fuckin Ziggy has been on the back of one of my all time favorite records for all these years and I had no clue?!?!? Hahahaha that's so awesome
I have this cd booklet autographed from 1999. I went to Pitt. Pitt played their last game nov 13 1999 at Pitt stadium and STD played at club laga with snapcase. STD slept in my dorm room and stole my roommates pillows
Sam Ash rules! Yea, it's like guitar center, on steroids! I go to Sam ash if I want to waste the day away playing on everything, I go to guitar center if I just need strings because it's closer to my house.
The last time I saw them was Warped 2014. The only classic song they played was “anywhere with you”. Then they jammed out with some other musicians for the last few minutes. I left
Chris looking like he's still an angst-ridden teen despite the grey flecks in his beard..! Kinda how I feel everytime I come back to this perfect album!
Holy shit I'm about to go see IT today and I just had this weird freaking hunch to pop my through being cool CD in and play it before work why getting ready. If I didnt see this video before leaving to work I would have tripped out big time. Because I havent listen to the CD in like 8yrs. This crap has been happening alot lately.
There's a theory that the more you notice synchronicities are occuring in your life, is a sign that you are on the right life path and living out your "true will", or something like that......supposedly.
Seriously trying to be helpful: Proactive is great for adult acne. His pimples look like those really painful ones and using Proactive daily for a couple months will help him tremendously.

Not sure what year.. but went to the Vagrant tour in San Diego. I remember Reggie being there also..
Reggie and the full Effect
Small world!
HRC was a bit underrated IMO. They had a following down here,but i think they should've been much bigger.
The Anniversary were on this tour too

Through being cool and stay what you are are two of my favorite albums of all time. Keep it up dude!
This album literally is a stargate back to my teenage years. Seen them twice at the troc in Philly . Wish I seen them more.
Brandon Wolfinger RIP Troc :(

Banned From the Back Porch !!!
Loved this album as a kid, came back to it a few years ago and was surprised by how good it actually was. I think I like it more now than I did then.
PHO-tographer....I love this! Such an influential band and album to this day!
So freaking awesome! One of my all time favorite bands. Love you Chris!
I still listen to this album all the fucking time. I bought it back in 2000. Holy Hox Forget Me Nots is still in my guitar practice regimen nearly 20 years later.
This records is in my heart forever! my dream is to see you guys in italy please that’s my goal!!!!
One of my favorite bands and albums of all time. Every single time I listen to it, it instantly teleports me hundreds of miles and 20 years back.
It’s crazy to see so many people also love my favorite album
such a great album. still singing along every time I put it on in my car. Didn't lose any of its magic. That's really, really rare. I hope they will play a anniversary tour with all the songs from that album. Please come to Europe
So many great memories connected to this album.
Such a great record, always takes me back to a specific time & place. The before times, we didn’t know how innocent we were.
This is album is just knee slapping bangers from start to finish. Never gets old.
I love this album so much. Each song is gold
this album is pure gold
Francisco Silva An undeniable Emo Classic. What’s your favorite song?
@@altpress it's either You Vandal or Through Being Cool. It's hard to pick one
Francisco Silva Both are amazing. Mine is “Ricks Tonic Juice Magic” that riff is one of the best guitar parts ever written.
Saves The Day from 1997 to 2001 was
C R I M I N A L L Y
U N D E R R A T E D
I just wish they went back to this era.

Criminally underrated for sure.
One of my favorite albums I have in my vinyl collection.
Fave album of all time by fave band of all time
Really enjoyed this video.
This was a very great album. Stay What You Are was an album I wasn't sure at first that eventually grew on me. The band as a whole has been on quite a journey with their sound over the years.
Great album. Reminds me of growing up hanging out with friends after high school
I saw them in 97 after the demo came out. Just a fun band.
Can't Slow Down, Through Being Cool, and At Your Funeral are 3 of my favorite albums of all time. Saves The Day will always have a spot in my heart.
Still love this album! Sounds just as good today as it did when I first heard it back in 2003.
Always noticed the vocals on Banned from the Back Porch were different than the rest of the songs and glad I now finally know why! Awesome video
chris phelan Thank you so much! So pleased you enjoyed it!
Through being cool is my favorite album from them!
This is amazing!!!!

Amazing album , amazing band
Holy fuck. The dude passed out on the couch is the grown up Eddie kasbrak in it chapter 2 lol that's nuts
I seen them in princeton at a show im from jersey and jersey bands r some of the best
Through Being Cool is hands down the most influential pop punk/emo album of all time. Also, cool to know my favourite STD song is the same as Chris' favourite.
Do one of these videos for In Reverie! It's a masterpiece!

You guys were the very first live show I saw as a kid. You opened for blink 182 and green day, but you stole the show. Amazing
He seems like someone who really was meant to play music. He enjoys every minute of it and is constantly humbled by Save the Day's success
Stay what you are!!! Favorite album of all time
Album still holds up to this day
Love this Album. The booklet was so amazing.
This is cool I just wish the other 4 were there too, the tbc and swya lineup is saves the day to me
I love how he looks exactly like me going through puberty the first time I listened to this album.
I want to see one of these about In Reverie.
First band I ever got to see. 2002, I think, it was with Weezer and Ozma. Saves The Day has been my favorite band ever since.
Wholesome ❤️
Banned From the Back Porch is my fav STD song of all time and I love alot of them
Love Chris, lucky to meet him once - awesome guy and influential musician
how the hell was Gabe Saporta NOT mentioned - he's literally on the disc art
Can't wait for #Savestheday#10
JustAGuyWithoutAPoint OH MY GOOOOOOD YEEEESSS. I REMEMBER FOREVER!!!
I know Fastbreak!!! They're awesome and from my hometown!!! Get them to do a reunion Chris... if you can find Pat lol

Ian MacMunn 😂😂😂
There is a Sam Ash in Las Vegas. Can confirm: they still exist.
when people ask what album could you listen to if you could only listen to one for the rest of your life...yep. this is it.

Nice. Now if only they would play those songs live now a days
Ben Kellogg never. Except when I saw them in 2004. Since then I've heard at your funeral once and saw them 3 times at least.

Would have killed for this video 20 years ago.
