Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

[@wozaow]

Just saw them play this live in 2024, their performances still haven't changed and they're still full of energy. Love it.

[@mat2093]

I saw them earlier this month on the fifth. They blew me away because I only of them by their song from the sorcerers apprentice. I might have enjoyed them more than fallout boy

THE ENERGY. Something about bands from this era just brought a totally unattainable element on stage with them. For me, it's especially evident around 2:15 when the solo starts. Gives me chills every time.

One thing that helps is playing with passion and aggression without too much distortion - so you can feel the humanity.

It's now 2022... and your music is still remembered.

[@ohthelushlife]

This is a highly underrated band...one of the best in their class/genre/era

[@XoxeroThePoet]

Underrated? Everyone I know knows this band, and everyone I know knows about 'The Middle'. In their prime they were played on the radio a lot. They are not underrated. If you want an underrated band, look for something like Gun Club. This is not underrated by any stretch, this video alone has over a million views.

[@nyxato7649]

+XoxeroThePoet You're thinking unknown. I'd say these guys are underrated, and that's because people ONLY know them for The Middle, which, in my opinion, is a very weak song. They don't know the true talented masterminds behind songs like Sweetness and Bleed American, so they pass them off. I think underrated fits nicely.

[@skoal91]

Sweetness gets played on radio still quite a bit

[@nyxato7649]

Skoal91 "Quite a bit" is a big overstatement.

[@skoal91]

quite a bit for a song that was out in 2001

It is incredible how Jim can sing the chorus and play the guitar at the same time.

[@deekman78]

More talent in this performance than most have in an entire career. Why does Jimmy Eat World get ignored so much?

[@denioktora]

Because kids these days love Justin bieber, Nikki minaj, and other garbages.

i know like deni said the newer kids just like terrible music this is what i call talent a very good underrated band rock use to be the most popular thing ever now its just fading T.T

[@ramoncontreras1726]

Idk maybe their hit "in the middle " had to do with it. I always associated it with the spread of gay. And I didn't like it. But I do like the rest of their songs

[@X.Caleb27]

that guitar solo kicks ass

[@nearbyconcentrate3894]

"soft serve just sugar on the asphalt i hurt i finally had the best cone salad you really know it's not for me" I think it's obviously clear that this song (based on the lyrics) tells the origin story of what led to jimmy eating the world, after he dropped his his ice cream scoops in the road on a hot day. and the salad line speaks for itself. only lyrics I've ever gotten tattooed on me. love this song so much!

[@SamiamAntischism]

I have been watching Jimmy Eat World open for bands since 1993. They are from Mesa, AZ and I am from Phoenix. They were definitely more poppy in the beginning with Tim Linton as the original lead singer. Also I ❤️ the split 7" with Christie Front Drive from 1994.

my mother and I used to listen to jimmy eat world All the time driving to baseball in fort dodge from this town rockwell city back in the day. one of her favorite songs ever is the one that starts "whats wrong baby... dont they treat you like they should...." and she hadnt been treated right. so it was a spiritual message from one of her guides, using your song to say that :)

One big difference from this and newer live videos is in this you don't see a hundred glowing screens hovering above the crowd. I never got into filming shows I went/go to. Its hard to enjoy a show when you are watching it through a screen not to mention afterward the video is just a distorted shaky mess.

I don't get it why others hate it when JEW is labelled as an emo band... I mean, I loved most of the emo bands from the 00s like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, etc.. but I still don't get it why they hate emo so much despite of the song is pretty good and has a meaning of it...

[@Triattt]

I think the main problem is feeling associated with angsty egotistical teenagers with a weird fashion sense. Before I was a MCR fan, I watched a concert and It was pretty awfull. Surrounded by hysterical girls. (Actually, after MCR it was JEW and Foo Fighters, it was a great day). Afterwards I came to enjoy MCR quite a lot.
