Sugar Ray, RPM - Song Breakdown #15

In this video, I breakdown "RPM" and song that features Craig and Rodney riffing back and fourth with matching guitar 'sounds.' I remember Craig found this cool old record with a race car on it, and so we thought it would be cool to create a song or a part around that. So that's how it started, and then we built it out from there. A side note, through a friend of ours at Atlantic Records, Kevin Williamson, we had Dave "Snake" Sabo come by our rehearsal room (we were actually in NYC at the time) and he wrote the B Part in this song.

Those guitar motorcycles are the most epic part of the song:) I can proudly say that I am so thankful for Road Rash back then because it opened me a world of such good music.

Glad you dig it. Yeah it was really cool to hear playback of that track in the studio... and live.... Both Craig and Rodney crushing it with the sounds (Actually they're supposed to be cars revving.. not motorcycles.. but maybe I always had it wrong).. loved rocking out to that song live..

The trio formerly known as "DJ Homicide's Ladies" got together for dinner few weeks ago and talked about how if you had done this series 15 years ago, we would have LOST OUR MINDS. Haha! Now in our 30s, we really really love this (but can keep our sanity and appreciate it in a whole new way). This brings back so many great memories, and it's fun to learn new stories about songs we spent so much time with. I love hearing your version of stories we thought we knew too (for example, I noticed the story of getting a record deal was absent of football helmets and jockstraps). This series is fantastic. Thank you so much for doing it.

Lindsey- Homicide Ladies... ! Yeah it would have been nuts if we did this back then, but we didn’t, and I have time now to do it. And I enjoy breaking it down too. I’d love to get Craig as a guest..

Murph, out of all of the metal records I've heard in my life-time, "RPM" right over here has definitely gotta be the most creative & unique one. You guys really knocked it out of the park with this one. I really wish there were more like it.

Bought the floored album because I liked Fly so much. Didn't realize the other songs on there would be so different. This first track was a huge surprise, but I dug it and the others on there a lot. Ran into your channel because of the Spinning Away song from the Beach (bought that album because there were so many good tracks on it). Good stuff here. Thanks from the future!

Brian- thanks for buying our music and appreciate the support on the channel. We had a lot of fun as you could imagine 🙌🏼

I loved RPM, still do to this day as the other great single from Floored. Gets me hyped... don't get me wrong Fly was fucking huge and I loved that too because I was into that kind of sound in 1997 the reggae/ska sound... but I was also into alternative rock in general, so this was up my alley too

Man, I had no idea you did this series on all the Sugar Ray songs. Dude, Road Rash 3D on PC, Road Rash 3D on PS1 and Road Rash Jailbreak on PS1 were my favorite games as a kid growing up in the 90s. Your songs in those games defined both my love of motorcycles and metal. It might seem funny to you now looking back, but these riffs man, these feel like home to me. 🤘🤘

TheGent not funny at all. Stoked you liked them and grew up with them. Appreciate it.

@@MurphyKargesBass I've never gotten to have this conversation with an artist, especially not the coolest bassist from my favorite band! Do you remember what it was like having your songs featured in Video Games? Did you guys have a say in that process?
