Rob continuing his trip through the soundtrack of my college career 😁

[@user-gx2uu7jd3v]

Facts! ❤

[@Hangar402]

Ikr

[@Nastyn1nja808]

Soundtrack of my Life!!! lolol So Much Fun!!!!!

[@Plagueoftheland]

Next up, 311?

[@c.a.norwood34]

Yep! 😁

[@erikwsince1981]

Legit this whole album is a banger! Third Eye Blind made an alternative rock masterpiece with this album. You’ve got to check out some more! - Jumper - Losing A Whole Year - How’s It Going To Be - Narcolepsy - The Background - Graduate

[@Wolfenstein3000]

Song's about chasing that Crystal Meth high, and I'm pretty sure the girl he's singing about was dead from an overdose at the 'laying on your belly face down on the mattress' part

[@caseydarrah]

Eh, not so sure. He references falling asleep inside her, so I’m thinking she’s alive, she’s just high as fuck.

[@buffalojones341]

I’ll never forget the shock when I went from this clean radio version and then heard the real version about meth and a dead girlfriend, wow

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

nah doubt that last part the first part for sure though haha

[@DanKaschel]

Yeah the lyrics definitely don't support that theory ​@@jacksmith-vs4ct

[@DannyBedo]

Yep. Some Grunge music is super pop mixed with heroin experiences. As a kid from the Bay Area this shit is 💯 real

[@tarzangief]

My sister dated the Drummer of Third Eye Blind for a while and I got to go backstage and meet them at a concert in Memphis

[@HollywoodRobTV]

Bro WHAT! That’s actually cool as hell lol

[@Ledzepisbest1]

Getting porked like no tomorrow!!

[@jerkwater407]

There has to be more to the story. Nice? Dirty? What?

[@robert_5974]

Getting a story from this situation is a double edge sword. They are either what you hope for or turned out they were the opposite which is disappointing.

[@whatdothlife4660]

He's a good drummer :)

[@Thompson9940]

This band’s 1997-2003 albums are all this quality and are just great. Their sound is so nostalgic even if you’ve never heard them. The music reminds me of summer breaks in the 2000s

[@brettpach]

Third eye blind is another one of those bands that is the catchiest shit you ever heard and then you read the lyrics and darkness consumes your soul. They have so many songs with this juxtaposition it's crazy.

[@titleloanman]

Rob continuing his streak of me having absolutely no feel at all for what he’s going to like 😂

[@defyU]

Yeah, I cannot peg down wtf he's gonna like or not. I don't know many black folks who would ever get any kind of excited over Third Eye Blind lol. Good on Rob

[@ninja_tony]

BRO, the man is insane, I have no clue what he’s gonna do next, and I love it 😂

[@DaDamuse]

yeah this was a surprise for sure lol

[@Jeb_binch]

This whole album is pretty fire

[@potatos_4_free]

I like Graduate alot

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

for sure

[@Yoyoman996]

"the background" so underrated

[@cags113]

5 big ass songs too. Losing a Whole Year and Graduate shoulda been bigger than Jumper tho, Jumper such a novelty now and kinda cheese

[@shaun.yasalonis]

Third Eye Blind was my first concert back in the day. 17 yr old me blasting this tune in my Buick LeSabre 😂

[@ullebor]

Revisiting music from the 90s really makes me miss MTV when they played music videos.

[@Crom64]

back when they played the videos yes. we could judge for ourselves lol

[@zholton1986]

Bro 90s alternative is just straight bops

[@psymaira]

I loved this song during my childhood i realized as i got older what he was singing about 😅😂

[@JoseReyes-wn2ul]

I went to the most random Third Eye Blind concert 15 years ago. Trey Songz was the opener followed by Trapt and TEB was the headliner. Best part was the concert took place in the gym of a college on the basketball court. Felt like a fever dream until I looked it up on Google recently and saw the ad for the concert 🤣

[@JackgarPrime]

This song was EEEEEEEEVERYWHERE back in the day. I don't think you could go a week in public without hearing this song somewhere when it was at its peak. Maybe not even a day, depending where you were.

[@ebohn92]

This must be the radio version since part is cut out. I don't think they'd cut that part out today, lol. Love this song.

[@desrever1138]

I abhor the radio edit - it cuts out the best part of this song :(

[@CdnTrader1]

Songs about crystal meth are always a bop.

[@Nessa_the_Embroidery_Nerd]

I was in high school when the heavily edited version of this was on the radio ALL THE DAMN TIME.

[@TVs_Brent]

doot doot do, doot doot doot do

[@LoopGaRoove]

When he first paused I was like, "He hasn't even heard his first doot yet!" 🙂

[@HollywoodRobTV]

Too catchy lol

[@2tonesg]

Nardwuar-core

[@danielridley6626]

Had a band that covered this song and we ALWAYS put it squarely in the best part of the evening: toward the end of the second set (of three sets). People at that point were really starting to get loose and ready to sing and it brought the house down every night.

[@ChrisBryantVideo]

"How can you listen to this and not smile?" That captures the energy of 3EB - awesome to see you discovering it and digging it, man!

[@Trygon]

Time for The Offspring soon. Though I'd be pretty surprised if you've never heard any of their music before.

[@CdnTrader1]

Self Esteem for sure

[@ebohn92]

Everybody's heard Pretty Fly for a White Guy.

[@verbalengine95]

My personal favorite would be You're gonna go far kid, but show Rob the album Duo that is Dividing by Zero/Slim Pickens Does the Right Thing and Rides the Bomb to Hell and watch him freak out

[@uncluckable6535]

He already reacted to The Kids Aren't Alright

[@padenj420]

I bet he's never heard Worst Hangover Ever.

[@AzraelLevith]

Oh, this is the edited version of the song. You need to listen to the full cut because he has a banging break down verse.

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

yeah sadly the official version on their youtube is edited

[@kellycartwright9339]

i had to relisten to this real quick, because the break down is so good and we missed it here

[@brianparkersongs]

Bro. This is the hardest I have laughed at a video you’ve done. Classic BOP. Brilliant Observation Professor.

[@sarahzentexas]

I remember having lunch with a friend at a Red Lobster. Lots of families, bright sunshiney day, everybody super cheery, and THIS song was somehow on their piped-in music system because it was a huge hit at the time…but I knew the lyrics. I looked at everyone’s faces to see if anyone else found the combo of a Red Lobster family lunch day with these lyrics was appropriate 😂 what a time to be alive

[@cslammon]

Its not just the song that was good, it brings nostalgia to a better time in our lives when we were young lol

[@jessecail8182]

An early review in this channel was Audioslave. Hoping we come back to some more Chris Cornell. Say Hello 2 Heaven, Outshined, Jesus Christ Pose, Superunkown, Burden in My Hand, Like Suicide, A Thousand Days Before, Cochise, Gasoline, Doesn't Remind Me, Seasons... So many to choose from!

[@dylanhaddock1394]

Song always had that cool summer, party vibe.

[@chantelneko3178]

this is a 90's CLASSIC!!!! this song was everywhere! couldnt go nowhere without hearing that do do do! lol

[@TorchMeetsWorld]

When i hear this song i think of those late 90s/early 00s teen/high school movies... Cant hardly wait; shes all that; american pie; not another teen movie; new guy; loser; accepted; ect.

[@ezradanger]

I would say that this is pre-pop punk. Like it's probably not technically quite pop punk, but this is what gave rise to what would become pop punk.

[@heatherkrause3880]

First time watcher. All I needed to see my favorite band to subscribe!

[@aforethegod4669]

This is one of my favorite songs ever! Its such an uplifting energizing song despite the subject matter lmao.

[@SuzakuX]

90s alternative rock was crazy. After Nirvana the record labels had no idea what was going to be the next big hit so they just signed all sorts of crazy underground acts. You had all sorts of genres and crossovers... pop punk, funk, trip hop, acid house, noise rock, shoegaze, ska, prog metal, industrial... listening to my local alt rock station (101X) for an hour you could hear a lineup as diverse as Butthole Surfers, Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Alice in Chains, the Eels, Sneaker Pimps, Tool, Fiona Apple, and Third Eye Blind.

[@OwiggumX]

It is in fact, a BOP. Love the reaction.

[@timgalivan2846]

I've heard this song a thousand times and the first time I heard that line, how do I get back to that place where I fell asleep inside you 😮

[@Guilty_party]

The quentisential soundtrack of my college years .. bang-gerrrr!

[@fmkwvejf]

This is straight pop rock. Songs from the same era with the same energy: Spin Doctors - 2 Princes Sugar Ray - Every Morning New Radicals - You Get What You Give Every single one of these was an absolute mega single, on the radio every day!

[@distracting_games]

The 1990's was a great era for music.

[@stephendelacruzone]

Simpler times BroBro... simpler times. 😊 Your right about the "Tony Hawk Skater Rock Vibes". 🤔 This was on rotation a lot on the radios back in the day...

[@dreco3658]

Bro, this song used to be all over the radio I’m sure it’s still is

[@busterfixxitt]

What a treat! I've been wanting this review for a little while, now. Called Rob's reaction; but then I'm not sure who is reactng to this song with boredom.

[@user-gx2uu7jd3v]

I kinda can’t help but love what Rob does and his enjoyment of it!!!!! So open minded and joyful! ❤❤❤❤

[@leannezezeski-sass2773]

I miss this type of music too, I love it but it makes me sad that this genre doesn’t exist anymore

[@NYEnforcerPMA]

Your energy is infectious my dude!

[@yaboyblacklist2431]

Man, I couldn't click fast enough. Such a good song, albeit one that's darker than it seems

[@andresmolinet8063]

Great reaction!! Man this reaction made me so happy and took me back. My favorite song of alltime is “Motorcycle Driveby”. Keep em coming Rob 🤘🏼

[@SlyMartian]

This whole album is a banger. But their best song is "Wounded" without a doubt. Definitely recommend giving that one a try!

[@justinhaddock6636]

The mini chin strap rant was perfect 😂

[@G0LDSNAKE]

I always forget how good this song makes me feel.

[@richardmcdonald1960]

Third eye blind has some of the best 90’s songs bar none! They influence ed a lot of the pop punk bands you heard in the early 00’s.

[@paulmeyer9255]

If you like this you should see "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies. Similar style with amazing cadence. You will love it Rob

[@rustywater3219]

This is still on my play list

[@trowa9960]

I picked up this album for 50 cents a few weeks ago and gave it a listen. The whole album is pretty solid. Motorcyle Drive-by is great song that (as far as I know) was never a single.

[@geodio]

This makes me think you'd enjoy "If You Steal My Sunshine" by Len. You can't think too much about its merits as a good song, but it hits the same energy of making you smile.

[@helenmcevoy2185]

You gotta do AC/DC “Thunderstruck”

[@schillyj]

Oh this is the edited version! Gotta listen to the full song lol....I still know every word to the stuff they wouldn't play on the radio 😂

[@joehigley]

I was scrolling down to see if anyone would tell him this is the radio edit.

[@iscariom]

It wasn't bad. Upbeat college rock. I sang it at karaoke night a couple times. Not as heavy as i'm normally into but still pretty fun at the time. Got a little burned out on it. You should check out a band called Blind Melon. People will recommend you listen to No Rain, and that's a good song but, Mouthful of Cavities is a great song. Makes me almost cry.

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

might be called rock now but was considered alternative more or less at the time

[@milsharkie]

Tones of Home is another excellent one

[@bezacho]

this band had a big rise. jumper, how's it going to be, and never let you go were their other hits.

[@jeff8833]

Stumbled across this by accident, been watching a few of these videos. If you want something that goes hard Five Finger Death Punch's Wrong Side of Heaven - dedicated to US veterans and our crisis of self deletion and homelessness. Remember Everything - focused on mens mental health

[@alfonsosalazar962]

3EB is my shiiit! One of my favorite bands ever! Seeing you vibe to this brought a legit smile to my face! This sound is alternative rock, it's what came in the later half of the 90's after grunge.

[@DylanOvertimeWinner]

Four year strong did a cover album and this song was on it. Was in their style. It slaps different but both are so good! The album was “explains it all”

[@adilsoncabral547]

Jame’s Addiction - The price I pay Fishbone - Servitude

[@versebuchanan512]

One of my favorite songs about meth ever lol

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

how many songs about meth you know? :P

[@bryanb767]

​@jacksmith-vs4ct there's quite a few actually

[@carlblix7794]

​@@bryanb767Some examples?

[@aaronwagner5686]

😂

[@MatanArie]

Would love to see you review some Jimi Hendrix.... Preferably Purple Haze, but All Along the Watchtower would be great too. Loving your channel by the way. It's fun to rediscover these songs with someone comming at them for the first time.

[@horrorjunkiehayne]

I live not far from Carolina Beach in North Carolina, and at least one of the members moved to this area. A few years ago, that member and the lead singer were at that beach surfing and ended up saving 4 kids from drowning when they got caught in a riptide. It sounds unreal, but 100% happened (you can look it up). Their music is kind of soft for my taste, but I will always like them on principle because of that.

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

thats crazy good on them but man people really should teach their kids about rip tides and how to deal with them

[@horrorjunkiehayne]

@jacksmith-vs4ct they really are insanely dangerous. I've been near the ocean my entire life, and if I had kids there is absolutely no way in hell they would be allowed in without me right there with them and a lifeguard on duty. Personally, I hate the beach because of sensory issues, but worse than that is the anxiety I've always gotten seeing kids running around doing stuff that could easily get them unalived and their parents not paying the slightest bit of attention.

[@wanderingtrader1147]

Such a blast from the past, I remember skating to that song at the roller rink late 90s. Another band from the 90s I know you probably haven’t heard is coal chamber. The 90s had that funky bass type of sound with the music

[@owlbedamned4034]

This genre is called 90s alternative. Pop-punk would be bands like Good Charlotte and Panic At The Disco. This was the first CD I ever had. I had plenty of cassettes, but this was my first CD. Unfortunately I didn't actually get a CD player for some time after. Also highly recommend a band called Live. Lightning Crash, Dolphin's Cry, All Over You

[@neighborguy5351]

Blues Traveler - The Hook It'll change your life

[@Gage_Boss_]

The sound you vibe with every single time is pop rock/pop punk. You would love dammit by blink-182, up and go by the starting line, hit or miss by new found glory.

[@AlgernontheWizard]

god damn that statue behind you is amazing

[@seanmahoney7895]

Recently heard this described as the happiest song ever written about doing meth. Gotta agree

[@DiceGoblin77]

Could definitely see this as pop-punk. I think you checked out some Offspring a while ago, would be cool to see you look into more of the ‘punkier’ side of pop-punk. Hard to go wrong with Green Day, specifically brain stew, basket case, holiday, or american idiot

[@jamesburns8827]

This is one of those songs where the lyrics don't match up with the vibe of the music. The music is so happy and the lyrics are so dark you used to cover this when I was in a cover band and people went crazy crazy for it

[@teugene5850]

Bro. Love you... your passion is infectious.

[@BarelyEinstein]

Your energy is a BOP.

[@morrisklunder519]

I'm kind of freaking out right now, youtube just played an ad for a third eye blind concert featuring this song while I was watching this video.......

[@DonnieDarko28]

Fucking love their debut album (where this song came from). Another good song from it is Graduate. Highly recommend, similar vibe.

[@gwilliams4674]

This song is straight 🔥 i slept on it when it first came out but i love it now

[@Mando_Kor]

Man, I wish you'd react to The Distance by CAKE, one of my all time favorite alt rock songs.

[@gregga201]

Would love to see Rob react to Five Finger Death Punch Music videos for Wrong Side of Heaven, or Gone Away. See if a metal band can make the man shed a tear.

[@joeyo691]

You should do “My Sharona” by The Knack. Incredible guitar solo. Or “Caress me down” by sublime, just love that song

[@FFadeaway]

90s summer vibe unmatched

[@thebyrd220]

Tony Hawk Pro Skater energy is a perfect description lol

[@aewatt1]

Saw them in Tempe, was an amazing concert 🎉😊

[@davidchapman2213]

Try the love song ballad side of this great band with "How's It Going To Be".

[@askholia]

He described it perfectly.

[@Just2TBM]

I can definitely respect that, after "Grippy" and "Wah gwan Delilah", Rob is done with reacting to "Kendrick vs Drake" material...

[@rhondarocca9855]

This song was a huge hit! The whole album is great and worth listening to. This was known as “alternative” rock

[@mandyleeaz8338]

Say it Ain’t So and Buddy Holly from Weezer are quintessential 90’s songs. For Ladies’ night: Pagan Poetry from Bjork and Violet from Hole

[@thejedidropout6347]

Rob, love the channel listen to the background. best song ive ever heard

[@markkelly5920]

Check out , I GOT ONE FOR YA , by KID ROCK . it's a banger that most people don't know about

[@streetsurgery]

This whole album is 10/10 straight through.

[@matt.coburn]

The most upbeat song about OD'ing on meth ever recorded.

[@KristopherMilland]

You should really check out the lyrics and the meaning behind them. There are several third eye blind songs that sound happy and joyful that are actually pretty dark when you really listen to it

[@edisons.7637]

Yeah, this album had AT LEAST 5 or 6 really good songs on it and NOT just the hits and singles. So many good songs man and of course most of them remind me of my wife who I've been in love with for 26 years.

[@tonyr9389]

I was delivering newspapers as a 10-12 year old boy. This was always on Casey Kasem countdowns on Sundays

[@padenj420]

You should check out the uncensored version of this song.

[@evesanchez1809]

This is my #1 karaoke song! Lol Well, it is graduation season... I request Graduate by Third Eye Blind ❤

[@timgalivan2846]

Based on loving this, should probably listen to 2 princes

[@coreym0]

"How can you not smile to this?"...because I'm listening to the lyrics lol. But jokes aside it is still a bop
