"Metalheads '23" lyrics
But do you think it's strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think?
Pretend they're not the same as you
But do you think it's strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think?
And pretend they're not the same as you
Do you know about her strength in convictions
Or how she puts all her faith in religion?
Did we take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And you're paranoid of every sound
You're not the friend
You won't miss anyhow
But do you think it's strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think?
And pretend they're not the same as you
And do you know about her strength in convictions
Or how she puts all her faith in religion?
Did we take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And you're paranoid of every sound
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And you're paranoid of every sound
You're not the friend
You won't miss anyhow
Do you know about her strength in convictions
Or how she puts all her faith in religion?
Did you take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And you're paranoid of every sound
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And you're paranoid of every sound
Paranoid of every sound
Paranoid of every sound

Roger is a great bass guitarist and definitely why I like alot of Less Than Jake's music.

[@HolzKaese]

This new version is so gooooooood! Remake of my childhood! LETS GO, Digimon movie and Pro Skater 4.

[@Bfitzgerald82]

I miss the "glue sniffers" line at the beginning, but LOVE LTJ and keep this album coming!

[@BWShea]

It's amazing how music can trigger great memories in our loved ones with dementia... ❤

[@mxpxguy79]

the 23' version rips, I can hear the difference in the bass tone, Roger Killing it !!!!

[@kewuofthedownside]

THE COLOR SWAP>>>>

[@sultry_salt6155]

Must have been '96 when i hear you guys for the first time, saw you in for the first time '97 or '98 Rochester, NY, almost got a beat down because the crowd surged and the dude in front of me thought I was being an a$$ hole. Saw you guys a few more times on Vans Warped Tour and here we are damn near 30 years later and I still listen to Less Than Jake on a near daily basis. Looking forward to getting back state side one of these days and seeing you guys again. Much love from Japan.

[@Noone-ym3dp]

Cool to hear re-recordings, always neat when a band does a professional re-recording!

[@duuuuval2197]

LTJ has done this so many times in the past. So cool they did

[@thattravisguy7859]

Cant wait to see these guys again! LTJ is fucking awesome. I do think I prefer the old version of this one more, but this is also one of my favorite songs ever. This one is very close. I would love to hear more LTJ in this vein. Give us a sequel, tell us how you guys are really feeling now.

[@vincevalentine2407]

i think the world needs to be reminded of this song, thanks guys!

[@MrAh1123581321]

That key change at the end 🔥🤌

[@chrisrios1709]

The horn punches at the end of the last chorus still give me goosebumps.

[@benh-d8733]

This song is amazing even 25 years later!!! Less Than Jake is an amazing band!!!

[@BuckyGallows]

Best band ever and they are like a fine wine. (Gets better with age). They need to play in NEPA.

[@jordangeer8964]

Started with the Digimon Movie and now we’re here

[@tristman112]

One of my favorite childhood songs is back baby!!!😊

[@RoyceMusic333]

This is a classic from the old skateboarding days when I was of 13 years.

[@apezilla83]

Can't wait to hear this live at Denver Ska Fest!

[@Constitutionalknight]

This was my favorite song in 4th grade

[@ZeepAtomic]

This is beautiful! I've always loved this song, and hearing this remaster just fills me with glee!

[@dgax65]

Awesome

[@ParadiseCityWrestling]

I’m so ready to see less than jake in Milwaukee

[@TooStupidGamerz]

MOST EXCELLENT! Love the new take on this amazing classic!

[@slimeburger7644]

This was the first song I've ever heard from the band. and DAMN, this was a good song to start off! And now hearing it remade, it sounds even more awesome!

[@pvshka]

Digimon the movie?

[@dinoport]

Damn volume won't go past 10. Pumped Perfection!!! Gotta love LTJ > See ya in Cali a few weeks

[@kewuofthedownside]

OH THIS IS ICONIC

[@IAMBrenner]

LTJ is a god-tier band to me! This song will always take me back to playing Street Sk8r on PS1 in like '98 lol! This was a really fun re-do!

[@Kari5274]

Always loved this song

[@speedsk810]

"Hey Chris, you were our only friend. I know this is belated, but we love you back.

[@brettnicholas3190]

Hell yes!

[@TheOzoneLayerHatesMe]

AWESOME!!!!!

[@lughkennedy9064]

As good now as when I first heard it takes me back to bmxing around Manchester ❤

[@dragxon5637]

I like it, it's different but good

[@MattPowers209]

Kool that they still jamming man remember learning bout these guys, barenaked ladies, & smashmouth from my old Digimon the movie soundtrack back in like 3rd grade. Best movie soundtrack of 2000!? Perhaps

[@scribblesilvan2608]

Awesome!!!!!

[@KevinBridges-e2q]

I would love to see the ghosts of mr and you get this treatment

[@EggGrips]

Absolutely timeless

[@darklegionnaire8304]

[@Nicealtornator83]

Singing it in my room rn!!! 🤘

[@robbellusci]

🐐🐐🐐

[@kwstine1]

Love the update. Great song!

[@christianobermeier7862]

this is pure LTJ ska punk ...just great !!!.

[@chriscompagnone9465]

LTJ needs to redo their entire catalog!

[@jaime6400]

It sounds sharp! I like the original intro a lot better, but your sound is still so you :) :)

[@yoyopopboy]

Now I want that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 Remake even more!

[@MJJ1390]

This was the song that got me loving the band at the ripe old age of 12. Absolutely still rips

[@illathor]

Digimon Movie? That's what pulled me in at about the same age and I am still here lol. I am just glad they still got it!

[@Sigma2025kiwedits]

Exact same story

[@saulibus1]

Great 🎉

[@jackwilhelm9551]

Killer song! Need another week update from you guys! How you been?

[@widowmaker4976]

WOOOOOOOOO!!!! Love this song, and this cover got my nostalgia going happily!

[@Thorakable]

Cover?

[@levijustice6742]

I said this on Boring Town 23 but I'm sadly not super into these new recordings. I think it's super cool they did them and having super clean and clear instruments and vocals is cool. But the high energy of the original recordings are diminished significantly here in my opinion. Maybe I'm in the minority and that's fine. Y'all are still awesome regardless. Hoping for more brand new music next year maybe? Silver Linings was really good.

[@jordangeer8964]

No, I actually agree. Boring Town ‘23 isn’t quite as guilty of it, but with Metalheads there’s a certain… grit to it? That’s lost with this. I think clean is perfect word to describe this version. It’s cleaned up significantly, for better or worse.

[@wulfen.9157]

@@jordangeer8964 I agree. It's particularly apparent on the chorus, when the crunchy guitar is supposed to come in, but it barely does. In fact, it seems like the guitar gets quieter. It just doesn't have that same pop, the dynamics all seem very squashed.

[@bunniess1817]

@@wulfen.9157 feels like it's a bad mix

[@Frank-hn5iv]

It's weird too, bc they absolutely rip through this live (still) amfh

[@Samflaful]

the vocals are too clean, not enough of that raspy shouty sound, and the mix is like, really awful? I don't understand how or why, but it's just terribly mastered.

[@DomDemolition737]

the one guy I call a friend's a metalhead indeed... 😅

[@theworstchannelyouhaveever9573]

[@kerutaite]

Still an absolute banger.

[@intheboxstudios]

Street Sk8er Flashback....wow

[@HumanTimeCapsule]

Whoa fuck yes

[@madchef03]

Please do al's war Aw hell! Do the rest of album guys please!!!!

[@jetbend]

Nice

[@daniel69]

Ho Lee Fuq this sounds incredible what the HELL GUYS!

[@saulibus1]

the key input is @2.13 when he repeats YOUR WELCOME!!!

[@TiimoTiimo]

original will always be best but i am really enjoying rogers vocal changes here, theres some lovely little melodies that were not in here before! isnt as aggressive as the old one though musically, and the intro being changed just makes me sad haha

[@IzzosPlace]

Differences are subtle. Love it!! Been listening since pez core tour and you’re still the tightest most hardworking band in my opinion.

[@SedatedRecluse]

I miss when my parents were the lamest people i knew

[@NeedsMoDakka]

I kinda prefer the '98 version. Vocals go harder. I like the smooth vocals on this one though, but it's the difference between SICK! and Yahoo! Both are great, well done

[@mattrich1411]

Now do Scott Farcas!

[@patrickhall274]

LADS LADS LADS LADS SOOOO GOOD thunks 4 this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JosePaullamo]

This sounds like boneless LTJ

[@KidneyCommunity]

KEEP ROCKING GUYS! ❤🇺🇸🤘🤠🤠👍🇺🇸❤️

[@brunnob3]

❤🎉

[@ronjames4151]

Like the original better but this is great

[@Sigma2025kiwedits]

The auto tune is not that great, I love this song but it’s kinda a down grade, and they can still make music, I loved the newer album, keep on chasing is one of my favorite songs just in general but idk what happened, add the raw vocals onto this and I think it’d be much better

[@HSGsabu66]

Love them but the auto tune threw me off

[@SuburbanHell]

I love love love Hello Rockview, and honestly, I kind of hate the mix on this version, horns are muted in comparison to the guitars, it's a bit slower, it's... Off. 🙁

[@greendaleforever]

DIGIMON The Movie

[@xNeo64]

pro skater 4 is 21 years old

[@danielsolano330]

Was the pitch correction necessary? It's so painfully obvious

[@TolietWater]

It’s a bit distracting but the original Rockview album has it too, it’s one of the first major rock albums to use Pro Tools

[@danielsolano330]

@@TolietWater What are your sources? Besides, Pro Tools it's just a DAW; pitch correction it's done in Melodyne, which is something different.

[@HumanTimeCapsule]

Obviously it isn't necessary but these old punk guys don't want us to hear how bad their voices have gotten over the last 30 years so give em a Flippin break bro

[@andrewblawson]

@@danielsolano330 They talk about it on Chris DeMakes a podcast. The producer of that album used Autotune 1.0 (off a floppy disk!). It's only super noticeable on Hello Rockview '98 on the horns, it's pretty subtle on the vocals. It's far too present on this rerecord though.

[@danielsolano330]

@@andrewblawson hmm... Could you tell me which episode, please?

[@Chowdizzle]

Only complaint is the vocals are way too engineered imo. I like the raw vocals in the old one. Legendary song.

[@dozi3r]

PLASTIC CUP POLITICS

[@DrLeatherface]

Nah fam. This version aint it 😞

[@kyles216]

I crowd surf everytime they play this

Feels like I'm playing Tony hawk
