I have worked with this band multiples times as main stage security... The lead singer was always stumbling blind drunk and drugged before the show.... To the point where you wonder if he was just going to pass out in the restroom. And every single time he went out there and absolutely smashed it. They are simply awesome live in ---in-the-right venue. And their drummer is fantastic.
It happens man. I know some bad ass musicians that can pull shit off and people never would have a clue. I am a recovering addict/alcoholic and I would do things all the time and people never even knew I was messed up at all.
I was about 16 myself when this song came out and I was already a fan of Unwritten Law a few years prior with the songs "Holiday" and "Teenage Suicide " respectively. I definitely say Unwritten Law are underrated and underappreciated as a group.
He wrote the song from his ex wife's perspective. Scott Russo (the singer) explained in an interview that he realized he was a bad husband.. See his explanation at 9:03 in this youtube video ua-cam.com/video/nvB7Tc0_4M4/v-deo.html
Yeah. Those were the days. I remember when Much Music was actually such a great channel and used to actually have music on it. All the sick pop punk and punk bands were on shows like this back then. *nostalgia heightens*
They came to Marine Corps base out in 29 Palms as a celebration for a brand new MCX. A lot of ppl didn’t know who they were but I couldn’t believe my luck. Love this band. I remember telling my friends how good they were and rolling up to the stage, set up in a parking lot with a grocery cart full of beer, bought from said MCX.
I will NEVER forget seeing them live years and years ago without listening to their music before and they played this. It’s one of my all time favorite songs. It’s absolutely incredible
O por dios con esta canción regreso cuando estaba en la secundaria 2001 al 2002 , cuando estaba mero apogeo el estilo .. blink 182... fénix TX.. sr.71.. .. crazy town... adema... Linkin Park.....papa roach... mest....
Yea Scott's on a sick one. It's sad man. This band was great. His addiction fucked em all up. I'm from North County San Diego. I remember them playing with Blink 182 and Screeching Weazil. Great band but damn Scott, pull it together. You're gifted
You do realize the band is still going right? They just released a single few hours back. He may not sound like he used to but he is still continuing punk.
Gotta admit, I was pissed when they made regular radio play with this song. Was like “Just great, Blink 182 all over again”. UL stayed the course though. Great music.
I’m with you brotha! Blink is great at being a sellout band! That was there main focus they wanted money when most of them were already brought up by parents that had money entitled fake ass band! UL kept it punk rock and never sold out! Had a couple opportunities but weren’t with it! They played for there fans and love of music not the money!
@@zacharyhyattt9257 Rob was let go due to a physical altercation on stage with Scott Russo, same goes for Pat Kim & Steve Morris, Steve & Rob are the only founding members of the band that are in the band are Wade he rejoined he left three years ago and rejoined last year & Scott is still in the band.
@@giotrapani7852 yeah and that’s the same reason wade left due to altercations with Scott. The only founding member left in the band right now is wade! No one else is a founding member steve and rob are gone and so is John Bell! Pat Kim is not part of the original lineup but I still consider him an OG!
Stupid ass comment man! Most musicians have some addiction issues but that doesn’t change the talent or the person they are! And I’ve never seen you at his house I’m there all the time! What house and where I feel like your just talking but not walking!
Can you play the drums like him? Naw not even close whether he’s drunk,high,or sober he can fucking crush it on the drums! You do realize some of the best musicians of all time dies from alcohol or drugs so why try and bash on someone you have no comparison too? Grow up! Misery loves company that’s what I’m feeling from you!
Where my skateboards at? Any 30 year olds grow up with grind? This song played when the skate team finally gets to compete, and it’s peak epicness.
Great movie!! Still got the movie today 🤘🏻
@@MichaelS.7861me too! It's actually my son's and I'm 50
This man throwin elbows like he in the ufc
40😅
That’s where I found this gem.

It's his recovery....
I feel that very same pain.
Be kind.
@@jasonjewell1667❤
Hahaha. What a back handed comment. No need to attack him as a person and then praise him as an artist. Big ol yikes for you.
He's pushing out so much passion in this performance - I will adore this song even when I'm old and grey👩🏽🦳
same here sister
@@bystanderbehindamask7369 I still remember being 12 when it came out and feeling the same pain 😩💜
hell yeah Cyrus :) Same !!!!

Great performance! This takes me back 2002.
I skip school to see if his performance. It was the best performance of my life
No truer words have ever been spoken…. “When there’s no place left to go, maybe that’s when you will know”

Amen sweetie…amen
holy fuck this kind of music actually was on TV?! i cant even picture that.
It was on 3 in the morning.
Jimmy Kimmel had bands like Atreyu,Hawthorne Heights, Finch etc.
Yeah. Those were the days. I remember when Much Music was actually such a great channel and used to actually have music on it. All the sick pop punk and punk bands were on shows like this back then. *nostalgia heightens*
Yep.
Yea when tv was good ..
This song is harder than it seems to cover vocally. The lead singer is so talented!!!
Ya he sounds great here
It's sounds like he really can't sing
@@america9704 try to sing it in that key
Scott's a stud. I do this at karaoke sometimes. It definitely isn't easy as you'd think. Especially not with the energy he sings it with.
@@FaceTheAshes it’s kind of a strange vocal range he hits for sure.

Lmao! Dude no way! What year was that? Pre 2003??!?!?
One of my favorite albums of all time.
Had the hugest crush on Scott back in the 90s and early 2000s lol awwe the days...
Girl, Same. I am 38 now, I remembered when this came out like yesterday.
Time goes by so quickly.
I will NEVER forget seeing them live years and years ago without listening to their music before and they played this. It’s one of my all time favorite songs. It’s absolutely incredible

Wasn’t a big fan of UL until I heard this album. So god damn good. Miguel from Sublime produced it too.
So blessed to have seen them extreme thing 2007 Las Vegas Nevada
I was there too dude!!!!!!
Too bad that wasn’t at the time of the OG lineup nothing compares!
It’s the Mesa heads for me
Essa banda é muito foda, pena que quase ninguém aqui no Brasil conhece :/
Pode crer, é boa
E nois!
Já vieram ao Brasil algumas vezes. Mas é pouco conhecida mesmo.
Euo aquí un Argentino ✌️🇦🇷🇧🇷
This is a fantastic performance!
Amazing… even in 2021
Thanks youtube. Thanks Carson.
His stance is like liam gallaghers
I remember this when it came out
Such a great song. Surprised it never took off.
Lead guitarist looks like Xavi from Barca and singer looks like Tim Blake Nelson
Yea Scott's on a sick one. It's sad man. This band was great. His addiction fucked em all up. I'm from North County San Diego. I remember them playing with Blink 182 and Screeching Weazil. Great band but damn Scott, pull it together. You're gifted
You do realize the band is still going right?
They just released a single few hours back.
He may not sound like he used to but he is still continuing punk.
@@RetroKingOG who cares??? Honestly
What is the 2002 or late 90s 98to 99
75th nbc anniversary - logo - is 2002 and i think it's 26-Apr-2002, Episode 52 (John Leguizamo/Unwritten Law) according to imdb data
Grind. Anyone else?
Gotta admit, I was pissed when they made regular radio play with this song. Was like “Just great, Blink 182 all over again”. UL stayed the course though. Great music.
Yeah. How dare blink make great music with a few radio hits to back it up.
I’m with you brotha! Blink is great at being a sellout band! That was there main focus they wanted money when most of them were already brought up by parents that had money entitled fake ass band! UL kept it punk rock and never sold out! Had a couple opportunities but weren’t with it! They played for there fans and love of music not the money!
Took my little cousin to see them for her first concert dude was hammered drunk on stage his pants fell down in his boxers he was a mess
Excellent.
Classic!!!
I’d like to see this lineup perform again for a 20th anniversary concert of elva. With the exception of Rob brewer.
Rob brewer is the guitarist on the right if I’m not mistaken the one with the PRS double cut guitar.
Why with the exception of rob? He was a huge part of the band and it’s sound along with its energy!
@@zacharyhyattt9257 Rob was let go due to a physical altercation on stage with Scott Russo, same goes for Pat Kim & Steve Morris, Steve & Rob are the only founding members of the band that are in the band are Wade he rejoined he left three years ago and rejoined last year & Scott is still in the band.

@@zacharyhyattt9257 I thought Scott was a founding member or was their someone else before.
Very tight!
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Wondered what happened with Rob Brewer? Was a right fit!
This was early 2000s
Press whoever that dude is I wanna meet him I’ve seen him 100 d before
pretty sure the instrumentation isn't live
Not quite Izzy Stradlin but pretty good!
PK!
Drummer is yoked
I mean they are clearly miming and lip synching, but its a cool track.
Lead singer is lip singing
I’ve been to wades house guys a drunk I feel bad be and that bum use to kick it lol like a lot
Wades an alcho?
Yes very much so
That’s very sad that he’s not a Holick. But he still a great person. He has a big heart. Wade and I go way back. He has a very big heart

They sound whiny
Cry about it.
If its whiny to you then maybe you should read Frank Vincent's book, A Guy's Guide to Being a Man's Man. He recommends some man's man music in that.
Two years later, you have me laughing
