This single was pretty refreshing in the early 2000's when pop-punk, nu-Metal and rap-rock were topping the charts. I love how low-gain this performance is; very punk rock in its own right. Singer reminds me so much of a young Mick Jager here.

[@rosenscharf]

So many good bands back then. Hives, Strokes, Vines, White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys... the list goes on. The whole of pop culture shifted towards guitar oriented music in that period. It was a great time! After that came Lady Gaga and Rihanna... never thought that vanilla pop music would ever come back. I wonder if Rock music ever gets big again...

Jagger never moved like Pelle does on stage and the guitarists have a lot more to do with punk than Keith... they get out of the stage soaking wet, the band is nothing like any band since the 2000s.

[@morganmensa5129]

Notice how they are are unique in the sense that they dont boost the guitars at the chorus. They're just as loud in the verses. Only difference is the energy they bring to each part. AMZING

[@spurv]

Not entirely accurate. Watch his foot at 01:17, he turns it off again at 01:29.

[@DerEchteBold]

@@spurv Yeah, but maybe they really just meant the volume, the pedal seems to be set roughly at unity gain, which means the volumes match, just the sound changes a bit.

[@spurv]

@@DerEchteBold Well ... we can start a lengthy discussion of how to define 'loudness', but I'd rather not.

[@DerEchteBold]

@@spurv I have no idea what you're on about, It isn't noticeably louder. Are you playing electric guitar? I do and I have pedals and crap and a rough idea of how they behave in different situations, his sound is rather clean(ish), meaning if you boost that it will get drastically louder and that doesn't happen here, so all he probably does is providing a little more saturation and compression.
