Crazy Town is like the Soulja Boy of Nu-Metal. It's a product of its time and doesn't hold up well even back then.

And they're both known basically for one song, and not much else.

[@hellonurd8957]

This may be the best comment on here so far! No, scratch that this IS the best comment on here!

[@RequiredFields]

As abhorrent as Soulja Boy was, he had a few hit songs (he had five songs register in the Top 40). Crazy Town had exactly one. As for the comment of hearing "Darkside" anywhere, I do remember seeing the video for "Darkside" on MuchMusic (the Canadian MTV) in 2001, around the time "Butterfly" was a single. I never heard it on the radio, because where I lived at the time (and still do), local radio would not touch any music that could be labeled "edgy". They were not allowed to play metal, rap, punk, hard rock, etc., of any kind. Even pop and R&B songs with guest appearances by rappers could only be played if any of the rap sections were removed. Around the time "Butterfly" was a single, they finally ended up allowing rap and songs with rapped vocals to be played. "Butterfly" ended up becoming one of the first songs with rapping in it they played in mid-2001.

[@johnjoefitzpatrick8483]

The 6ix9ine of nu metal more like.

[@OttaviaBurton5893]

I remember reading an interview with Mike Shinoda saying he and Linkin Park never liked being associated with nu metal (and after Hybrid Theory transitioned away from the genre with their subsequent albums), and one of the reasons for that being how misogynistic it often was. Listening to Crazy Town and Limp Bizkit makes me understand where he was coming from.

[@alexigra2235]

Kurt Cobain once said that music comes first and lyrics come second. I think he would have changed his mind post-Crazy Town and Limp Bizkit.

Matthew Roberts no kidding. And for those curious, the line is from their song Born to Raise Hell, and the line goes like: “Drop the ceiling, pop a pill in to stop this feelin I swear to god I almost pulled a Robin Williams” Excuse me, I need to find a toilet to barf in now...

[@AtrocityEquine01]

[@TriTone_Ent.]

I remember seeing them play Ozzfest in Indianapolis, and out of all the concerts I've attended. I've never seen a band get booed off the stage so fast in my life! I think they opened with toxic, and attempted to follow it with butterfly. The booing was so loud before toxic ended you couldn't even hear the band from the lawn 🤣

[@quentinbringthenumetalchil5125]

I love nu metal. But to me, Crazy Town is another one of those bands that give the genre a bad reputation. I can't blame the public for completely hating on the band for their pretentiousness and vulgarity. These guys just seemed like a band that wanted to ride the Limp Bizkit fame wagon by rapping nonsensical lines in their music. The only song I generally love from the band is "Drowning" off of their second, failed-attempt-at-rekindling-popularity-from-their-first-release-effort album, "Dark Horse". I'm torn in between on "Butterfly" though.

[@Razorgeist]

"Hurt you so bad" from that same album is pretty good too.

[@fabriziogarreta7160]

Quentin Childs crazy town are not my metal, I really don’t know why they are labeled withn that category. Their a hip hop group

Nu-metal is far too diverse imo like you have bands like Slipknot on one end then you have say Linkin Park on the other but at least those two have rapping and scratching then you have Korn who's considered the pioneers of nu-metal they don't have any rapping or scratching I like all the bands I mentioned but I do have a soft spot for the rapping and scratching, I just wish it wasn't so cringe when I look back at alot of the bands I used to like, and that new nu-metal bands came out with good rapping but drop the cringe factor

[@nicoyazawa6837]

Geez, this freaking band... Look, I'm a huge nu-metal fan and even I couldn't remember these guys. And even if I did, I'd pull out bottles of pills to endure every track. Can't believe I'm doing this, but I'll give my thoughts on the album track by track; The intro was generic as hell and offers nothing for me to talk about, Toxic certainly lives up to its name by bringing up a dead celebrity just to sound tough, Think Fast is a mess of record scratching and stupid lyrics, Darkside already loses me with its techno vocals, Black Cloud is at least tolerable but still not a good song at all, Okay I admit that I like Butterfly as a guilty pleasure despite its lyrics yeah it's dated as hell but I can't help but listen to it as a little earworm (and perhaps this is the only song out of Crazy Town that I actually like), Only When I'm Drunk is just dumb not just the song but the title itself, Hollywood Babylon sounds really distorted despite its potential to be way better than it is, Face The Music reminds me so much of Head for the Barricade and not just for the "Stick 'Em" lyrics, Lollipop Porn is just awful both the title and the song itself, Revolving Door is at least a change from the constant vulgarity, Players (Only Love You When They're Playing) then dips the album downhill the second afterwards, B-Boy 2000 does have a decent rhythm to it and I would've liked it a bit if there were more of this over practically everything else, Outro was like a loaded gun that I'd happily point at my head to end the pain... The Gift of Game as a whole is terrible. While admittedly I still like Butterfly, it's just that everything else doesn't live to that song and practically only shoots itself in the foot with its juvenile tracks like Toxic and Only When I'm Drunk. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a shower after feeling so dirty listening to this shit.

[@nuundergroundtv]

Fun fact : the album that came after this one (called "Darkhorse") sold only 28,000 copies worldwide (22,000 in USA), which basically explains that these guys were big solely based on Butterfly. What's actually sadder is that that album was WAY better and MUCH more mature than The Gift Of Game (especially with lyrics), but who really cared them before or after Butterfly? The saddest thing is that very talented rap-rock bands like Reveille and Nullset never had their 5 minutes of fame and nobody heard of them at all, while these guys sold over 1,500,000 records. P.S. Crazy Town is still making new music to this day and is going to release a new record by the end of this year. You have been warned.

It was put perfectly by Todd in the Shadows; the reason Darkhorse sounded more mature than The Gift of Game is because they were trying too hard to be Linkin Park on that album instead of trying to define their own sound.

Dark horse was still subjectively better, I mean it’s still not very good but at least it doesn’t have a toxic? Ok the bar is set low

[@CunningCondor]

I do think Dark Horse would be interesting to cover. Many people, listeners and critics, seem to say it's their worst album and I think it'd be fascinating to examine just how bad it gets.

[@poem2self]

Rocked Darkhorse is better.

[@LightBrownRecluse]

Upon finding out about the RHCP sample, I was awaiting some soul-crushing revelation that The Gift of Game outsold the Chili Peppers' Californication or something to that effect... It hasn't (whew!). Thank you, humanity.

[@sorryyourenotawinner2506]

@Rybread 28 Californation is TRASH. The Gift of Game is a MASTERPIECE.

[@JohnnyPotamus]

DARKSIDE was the first Crazy Town song I heard, both on 89X in Detroit, and also on MTV.

[@HailSatanLLC]

"Alright, it seems that I'm going to have to teach you how to be villains!" Butterfly plays.

[@dawnguy842]

"Mom I want Hed PE!" "We have Hed PE at home." Hed PE at home:

[@coansm]

*Pretty Little Dirty* and RHCP said that they didn't care about Crazy Town sampling it because they made the "unknown into something special."

[@nathanelwilliam3609]

I believe the correct term is “gimmick” not “scam” cuz they tried to push one track to reach the top. So even if the rest of the tracks were under appreciated, at least you get to keep listening to the same track over and over.

[@jesurenbnb]

and that track is the only one from this album i can tolerate The rest?👎

[@imatreeguy1143]

I had some good memories with crazy town playing in the background honestly

[@vampman87]

Didn't Todd in the Shadows declare Crazy Town a "One Hit Wonder"?

[@lmw4780]

"Some bands faded into obscurity" Shows picture of band I have quite aptly never heard of

[@jesurenbnb]

Thank goodness

[@samhouston1979]

Albums like that are the reason iTunes exists...no longer are you forced to pay $12 for the one song you actually wanted

[@FelixRosas10]

I’m more of a hip-hop Head than a rock fan (still a rock fan, just not to the same extent), but you make this stuff so much fun to watch. Thanks for the videos is man.

[@crazydud3380]

Wow, what the hell was that crap?! Limp Bizkit by way of Buckcherry. You know you failed when you make Chocolate Starfish sound good!

[@Wyrrlicci]

this song was EVERYWHERE when I was in highschool! they played it are homecoming all 3 years and at prom and at my best friends wedding on '04. TO THIS DAY I know it from memory just for having it hammered into my brain 100000 times

[@RedDragonM1]

Nathan Explosion: You are a rap/rock band? Get Thee Hence: Yeah! Nathan: Can someone tell them what YEAR this is!?

[@thetonytaye]

You know what I just noticed? In the Butterfly music video, one Guy is wearing a DARE t-shirt.

[@AtrocityEquine01]

I'm glad I lived under a rock and never heard of Crazy Town. On another note, Butterfly is a guilty pleasure, even if it's just Pretty Little Ditty helping it be good.

[@1tofallen123]

I heard Darkside on the radio. It was 106.7 in Denver at 2 in the morning.

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

RIP Shifty

[@Teknodrome]

105.9 the x in Pittsburgh PA. played all of them.

[@sergentharker7182]

I still hear Butterfly on the radio time to time, and I ironically love it

Its easily their most tolerable song

Jimmy Metal I can’t believe I had to scroll down this far for someone to point out that Only When I’m Drunk is a cover.

[@septymesk7721]

I never heard that "Dark side" song, but I heard that "toxic" song on a local Florida station, and, I had a friend who liked it... he's one of those guys that still listens to kid rock and nickelback...

[@DokkaChapman]

Is that Richard Patrick framed behind you? :)

[@RockedNet]

Sure is!! I took that shot in 2016.

[@IABITVpresents]

+Rocked say, whatever happened to that other picture you used in a couple of other Regretting the Past episodes?

[@DokkaChapman]

I managed to cover Filter in London back in 2013. It's great when you can snap him in mid scream. Are you looking forward to the new album?

[@sumspring4112]

Rocked Is he a sweetie in person? I've talked to him on Facebook, and he literally said he loves me. Like personally told me he loves me. Filter are my second favorite band, behind The Offspring. I may not listen to them EVERY day, but I love them. I love Richard, and heavy guitar makes me happy.

[@DokkaChapman]

I met him back in 2013 for an interview. He was a really nice soft spoken guy (and still pretty good looking for his age!). We chatted about family and he got all nostalgic on me. He's also an amazing storyteller. I asked him how he got the nickname 'Piggy' while working with NIN. He went into this 20 minute story about Skinny Puppy and what they would get up to in the studio.... It has to be a highlight of my life. :)

[@TheCamSays]

You know those Lisa Frank folders that you saw in school? The album cover for this looks like the edgy version of that.

[@SupaSavage24]

RIP Shifty Shellshock

[@TimmyTickle]

14:45 - If Cookie Monster fronted a nu-metal band. Some things you left out in this video: *Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein was in this band... he did well for himself later in the 2000s before his death *The obvious Fleetwood Mac reference in title of Track 12 (why Crazy Town would seek influence from Fleetwood Mac is one of mankind's greatest mysteries) *Shifty Shellshock's drug issues which got him onto Dr Drew's VH1 rehab show (possibly because he realised just how much his stage name sucks)

[@slevingarganera8375]

There’s also Pre) Thing. A band fronted by Rust Epique, CxT’s guitarist who left after Darkhorse. He died of a heart attack at 36 years old before the release of their first album 22nd Century Lifestyle in 2004. (P.S. the title track Can’t Stop (22nd Century Lifestyle) was in the game WWE Smackdown VS Raw)

[@notserp1836]

The Gift Of Game: most songs sound like a combination of edgy free royalty music and lyrics that came from either SoundCloud rap or a 6ix9ine song.

[@takeflight17]

I remembered that they played the Darkside music video on Much Music which was a Canadian music TV channel but I only saw it once.

MJNation whats wrong With you this album rocks a lot.

[@droptherapy2085]

in your opinion.

[@bink]

Maybe you didn't know but that "robot voice" on Darkside is actually Jay Gordon from Orgy. And it did get a bit of airplay here in Toronto on 102.1 The Edge

[@SauerkrautSandwich93]

Just when you thought Cypher Raige was a hilarious name... here comes Shifty Shellshock! I'm laughing just typing this!

[@ericksheldon3870]

You finally did my favorite band!

The last time I heard Crazytown even mentioned in the media was when their van hit a moose in Ontario. The fact that they're touring in a van speaks volumes about how far they've gone since the early 2000s.

[@Joybuzzard]

I just realized this video was made before they did the 'reunion' tour which is when they hit the moose.
