HINDER: The Austin Winkler Years

[@Based_normie]

Hey ho is my favorite song of all time.

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

7:49 The band got the inspiration for the song from a magazine cover story regarding a local homecoming queen going through everything they wrote about in the song

[@blakebratcher8313]

I agree 100%! Hinder is not the same without Austin. But, I can also see where on a decline with a band, wanting to put something out to put you back on top. Hate it that Hinder will never be the same again, but love to hear Austin’s voice again. Maybe one day, they’ll get together one more time before hanging it up all together. As everybody says, all good things must come to an end and they made a hell of a run. No matter what happens, Austin still is the voice of Hinder and in my eyes, always will be.

Have you heard Lips Of An Angel Pt. 2? I'm 50/50 with it, but it aided in me discovering more music by the lady Austin did the song with

[@saltwateranglers]

Sweet video man. My family member was in the band for a long time I loved the sounds they captured. always thought their later albums rocked more than extreme behavior.

[@antoniomccoy6733]

You’re related to Mark King? Cool! I always loved his backing vocals

[@saltwateranglers]

@@antoniomccoy6733 yes he’s my uncle. He does a cool solo project called caffeine genius if you want to check it out

2 sides of me was amazing hearing it live in 2011 my first concert

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

24:13 This one was also inspired by a magazine story, this go-around referring to Ke$ha, as she had recently blown up from her song TikTok that year. It also touches on the reality TV stars from MTV, hence the "you're the reason there ain't music on MTV" line

This was great man!! Thank you for making this. I genuinely enjoyed

[@FADEntertainment]

Thank you!! I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed!🤘🏻 :)

[@charlenesydow5456]

This was a great tour of the AJW days of Hinder. Thank you for putting this together. You are right, it's hard for any band to survive replacing their frontman. Austin was the 'voice' of Hinder. I wish they could have worked things out and continued to make great music, but it's great to see Austin back out there doing great things.

[@FADEntertainment]

Thank you so much! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more new stuff from Austin 🤘🏻 :)

[@maxpalmer3212]

Use me Loaded and alone Up all night Are my favorite songs from take it to the limit

I am so glad you and many others still talk about and listen to Hinder, even though on compositional and lyric writing level it's very generic, very cheesy most of the time and they do repeat themselves quite a bit. That said, I LOVE Hinder so much, I just don't know what it is about their music that sticks out to me because objectively speaking there really is nothing special about it, but it just has that something that resonates with me. It's one of those things that I can't really defend when it comes to originality and complexity, but at the same time I just don't care, Extreme Behavior is my biggest jam ever, was my favorite record ever since when I was 16 and to this day I still can't name another album from which I can sing every line and hum every melody and it gives me pure joy. The hooks especially are just so infectious and fun, even though some of them are really fucking stupid like "she said she loved the taste of my oh oh", it's like I should cringe so hard to this, but I sing along to it and smile. It's kind of like Every Six Seconds, the music is so edgy and lyrics are so goddamn ridiculous, but I can't help but like it. Anyways, great video, keep this content up, you are one of the rarest people on yt who talks about this kind of music and I love it. Cheers!

[@FADEntertainment]

Thanks, man! It really means a lot to hear all that :) I'm even more glad to know that there is an audience for this kind of content, believe me! 🤘🏻

AJW was Hinder…put them on fire! The other band members/friends should of stuck by him no matter what, but instead walked away…once Austin did not return I did not follow the band Hinder because it was not the same at all & I would never support them for turning their backs on him. It took Austin almost dying for 2 members of the band to reach out. Austin’s voice is a gift, he had fallen but picked himself up…he is healthy and working through his feelings of being Super Jaded! As all of Austin’s true fans that did not give up…he is back & needs all the support & love he so deserves 🖤

[@DiehardtNG10]

Hinder was Reunite more than likely I think

[@deborahmercier5416]

[@kevindawes1832]

Good video..watched the whole thing. I love Super Jaded. AJW is totally back, sounding better than ever, imo. The dude went through a year of complete hell and nearly died. Happy he is healthy again. Can't wait for a new album!

[@FADEntertainment]

Thank you, man! It really is an amazing story. Austin has a whole new fire in him now, so the future is exciting 🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@brm6847]

Well done sir! I’ve always loved Hinder and Austin’s voice especially. I’m digging “Super Jaded” and it has me going back through the discography and finding videos like yours. Thank you for this video!

[@FADEntertainment]

Thank you so much! I'm very happy to hear that :)

[@Angeleyes-mz6bc]

You did an excellent job with this. I love ❤️ how you explain the songs.

Thank *you* for watching! :)

[@maxpalmer3212]

I hope Austin comes back to Hinder one day and super jaded gets hinderized

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

Wishful thinking here, I'm with ya on that one 💖👍

[@wendydugal63]

I really enjoyed your work on this video! I’m hopeful for Austin

[@FADEntertainment]

Thank you! :)

[@lbandprincess]

Austin IS Hinder! I've seen his solo tour n if he can stay sober I'll see every tour! He's a sweetheart n can sing no matter who he's tours with!

[@lbandprincess]

*he tours with.

No Austin No Hinder No layne no chain No Adam no grace

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

Well said, my friend 👍

[@karenmoffitt5495]

You r negative , u need a different job. Being so negative, AJW is a great singer. Great fantastic lyrics, great voice. Austin winkler your amazing. You Rock, your a genious.🙂🙂❤❤❤❤❤

[@slimelifect4287]

Superjaded and phoneline are great

[@davidcbeaudoin]

As others have said, Hinder's not the same without Austin singing. I have both of the albums with Marshall as the lead vocalist and there's some tracks I like, but I still prefer Austin's vocals more. It's a shame they'll never reconcile - the lawsuits are probably telling - because they had something special. They just sorta lost their way with Welcome to the Freakshow and Austin's breakdown and departure.

[@theDannyJPowers]

Nice video

[@DiehardtNG10]

Fun fact Shoulda was another song by another Oklahoma group so Austin liked it so much they purchased the rights to it for their first album. Yea I’m a big of a mega fan.

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

Wait what!? Is there an article I can read or a video I can watch regarding it? Mega fan here as well, but this is news to me

[@DiehardtNG10]

@@HannahsMusicAndNovels it would take some digging to find. I know shoulda was not written by them. It was a local band who wrote it they liked.

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

@@DiehardtNG10 Well, good thing I love doing some digging (especially when it comes to Hinder). Thanks for the information 👍💖

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

@@DiehardtNG10 I knew I recognized your tag and pfp. You commented on my video of Running In The Rain. Nice running into you again! (And thanks for the surprise info on Shoulda that makes me feel somewhat betrayed by the band lol)

[@danielsimpson2946]

Thoughts on the song “Running in the Rain”?

[@FADEntertainment]

Definitely should've been put on a standard album release. Really showcases the 'forgotten' second side of Hinder.

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

@@FADEntertainment Agreed. All those bonus tracks from Take It To The Limit (excluding Live For Today) were incredible songs that needed to be on the album as official tracks. But of course, as if people weren't already flipping out on the album sounding different from Extreme Behavior, that'd probably just be icing on the cake with all of it

[@Bisman963]

Hinder is done without Austin!

[@bodavis9586]

Unlike most I still continue to follow Hinder. No it’s not the same but they’ve continued to put out great material and still put on a pretty good show. I miss Austin but every band evolves. Even if Austin did return it wouldn’t really be the same because they’ve all aged and matured so their wild party days are over
