Stephan Jenkins - Third Eye Blind Interview, Deep Dive 3EB + 🖤 Tim Armstrong- Tuna on Toast

[@SJ3EB]

My sunglasses come off eventually. A little shy i was.

[@Trevkat]

Funeral Singers may be one of my favorite 3eb songs ever! I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. It’s beautiful. Love this album from front to back.Thank you, Stephen 🙏🏼

[@bradyliam1]

Stephan, you stay up too late! Coffee is so much better after a good nights rest

[@ericphoenixg]

It's ok. I'm still shy when I perform too.

This guy has helped make some legendary albums. One of my musical heroes.

Same! He seems like such a stand up guy too.

[@tonywellington7854]

look into kevin cadogan he’s the guy who made stephan a star

[@hobojungle1]

@@tonywellington7854joint effort. Definitely didn’t hurt Stephan’s rise though.

[@Youdontlooklikeher]

@@hobojungle1 Kevin Cadogan definitely played a role in the direction the music took but I think his stans are a bit obsessive and vindictive about it. Do I think SJ handed Kevin the short end of the stick? for sure. Do I think Kevin deserves credit for his contribution? Yes. The combination of the two of them was definitely magic not to mention Valentine as a producer. But a lot of Stephan's big songs had already been written and were a work in progress before 3EB was ever formed so it's weird how they make it sound as if the band would've never found success without Kevin.

[@Kevinb1821]

Their first 2 albums are my favorite albums of all time. Favorite band of all time

first two are only ones worth listening to why is that? kevin cadogan

[@mylessmith5244]

Stephan's use of the word "my" is very telling--my album, my keyboard player, etc. It's why he's either sued or fired every band mate or will eventually. RIP 3eb

[@lmh12121]

Yeah, he single-handedly ruined a lineup that had unreal promise. Burned all bridges with those closest to him. At least we got a few albums of that goodness. Not to say the newer stuff is bad or anything. Fwiw, and take it with a grain of salt, but I’ve met him a few times and he’s really just…a prickly dude. He kinda sucks. But he is who he is and I can’t fault him. Anyway, you hit the nail on the head.

[@kidwaryodproduction]

Easily imagine if he make a supergroup with Wes Scantlin (Puddle Of Mudd) and Brendon Urie (Panic at the Disco)

[@MrVisde]

Great stories. Stephen is so good at articulating a vision and aesthetic.

[@LucasPenido]

Wow! This is the best SJ interview I’ve ever seen!

[@IckAck03]

I was rolling after 50:11 hahaha. Nice, rare interview of the elusive Mr. Jenkins. Nice convo!

my little brother and his friend are 12-13 years old and they LOVE 3eb. i took them to see them on june 10th of this year at the choctaw casino and they LOVED it!! i fell in love all over again with stephan. it was fantastic. such a great show. 3eb is hands down one of my favorite bands!!!!

Wake for Young Souls will be forever one of my favorite songs. Sort of reflects my life, morbid lyrics with a happy background.

[@colinrickels201]

Got tickets for them in austin this july. This guy has literally shaped my inner self and perspective of the world. Absolute poet.

[@amberheardsbumpyknuckles9336]

Really? I mean, like, REALLY??

[@ukaszkonopko3263]

Yes, Yes, Yes "Losing on whole year" best song of the album, period. This track has been my anthem since my late teenage years through the whole twenties. I can literally visualize myself being this clueless 19 years old guy who can't stop playing in call of duty BLACK OPS (LOL). Now ,I am in my late twenties approaching 29 singing this tune on the top of my lungs with my future wife almost every night. Stephan you are getting age like a fine wine. Great podcast. Interview conducted very profesionally. Love 3EB. I have to admit it as well that "Out of the Vein" is the most underrated album of all time. Best, from Poland. Łukasz

[@heatherthomas9497]

I personally think “Crystal Baller” Is a hidden gem and definitely underrated. I think I like it as more as his popular songs, if not more!

[@ukaszkonopko3263]

@@heatherthomas9497 Agree! I I think this should be the album title as Jenkins wanted to be. A very personal ballad for Charlize Theron! "I want to be your diamond ring. The one I never gave you and promise that it brings". There are bunch of old videos on YT from August 2003, where Stephan says "this album is about my ex-ex grilfriend". :)

[@reizig]

I'll see your "Losing A Whole Year" and raise you a "The Background" and "God of Wine", sir

[@SaffronGold]

Excited to see them again in Okc. Last concert I went to was them right before pandemic. Great way to keep pressing play in the local concert scene.

[@Cj19600]

Great interview. I know the discussion focused more on the latest album but SCREAMER is - in my opinion- an underrated release by the band. BLUE is my favorite 3EB album but SCREAMER not getting enough love is a travesty. There are so many great tracks, it's a shame that didn't get more love from the public. Keep doing what you're doing Stephan.

I want this more than anything. But it will never ever ever ever ever happen.

[@saintjabroni]

I wish we knew what possibly interpersonal issues existed in the first place between SJ and KC, and then SJ and TF…then SJ & AS (am I missing any?). If they were cool with each other interpersonally, we’d still see the original lineup(s). I guess we’ll never know the shit. Unless I don’t know something that’s been put out there from at least one side of the stories.

[@michaelpayne263]

Just a random question for you Stryker….who is the black and white photo of next to the squirrel crunch….please we are very curious….awesome interview btw 🎉

sorry for the late reply. That is a picture of Mr. Hand on the set of the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

[@Stall-FedCalves]

Stephan, there was no valid reason for you to feel insecure because you brought such a unique sound of talent of lyrics, melody, and rhythm; the only other musician that can capture people's pain yet also uplift them with happy music is Mark Oliver Everett who was also one of a kind. Plus, you were hot to boot. Nobody compares.

[@zacharyalexander9410]

Love 3eb despite Stephan's insufferable self-centeredness. All due respect to the musicians he mentioned at 27:27, but no musician mentioned in this entire conversation is even in the same category of musical ability as Stan Getz, can't let the blasphemy slide

[@maxdslr]

Hey Stryker, remember when you gave out your number on twitter back in your kroq days ? Good times.

[@babymoondancer]

Stephan Jenkins, the son of a college professor who was still somehow under the impression that the name "Stephen" had an A in it. I think that pretty much set the tone for him, didn't it?

[@codytylek7836]

Permeability and empathy

[@lmh12121]

This idea that Stephan doesn’t lament the past, ponder what he’d do differently, or have any level of nostalgia is complete bs, as is his pedantic response bloviating about purpose. Both things can exist - and do - with everyone. I can’t stand him. But I love 3eb’s music, for which he’s obviously been the driving force. It’s a delicate balance. Very much appreciated this interview though.

[@GoldenWave]

Stephan Jenkins was one of the hottest musicians of the 90s 🤍

Loved some 3eb since they came out when I was in high school. Always liked listening to Jenkins interviews for some reason.

And love Idol so be awesome to see to of my favorite acts together!

Get the original band back together. Sonically this one sounds like it was recorded with masks on the vocals and masks on the guitar pickups. Call the next effort No Masks. And unleash.

[@magnoliamike]

Once he said he/ they I’m gone. Yes he has about four songs, but other than that nobody listens to it.. no one even knows his name, or the bands name, but they know the songs. When you find out, he grew up this rich kid from the hills. You don’t really care what he has to say. Especially how liberal they are
