The Offspring "The Kids Aren't Alright" Guitar Center Sessions on DIRECTV

[@iamthem.a.n.middleagednerd1053]

This song makes me cry thinking about High School back in the 90's. I'm 34 now. Where did the time go? No more first kisses with girls, hanging out with friends after school, playing basketball, going to work for $5.15 at Cici's Pizza, putting gel in my hair. Those times are all gone and this song makes me think of a time when life was so full of possibilities. My friends and I used to talk about making our way in this world and what all we were going to accomplish. We were too young to know life would get in the way. I love Heavy Metal but The Offsping will always make me think of my youth.

[@noLuckyStrike09]

Amen.

Dammit man why did you it like that?!?!?!

My son is 5 & has autism and is absolutely obsessed with this song. Original, acoustic, piano, cover, you name it. He can’t stop listening. Grateful 🙏🏽

[@thenextkurt]

I'm Always amazed at how much kids on the Spectrum respond to music. I have a 5 year old girl and she Loves music and art

[@franktranks9445]

I understand why. I'm autistic myself, and a lot of people on my end of the spectrum really like satisfying chord progressions, like this song has.

I've seen Offspring live 5 times in the past 5 years. And these guys sound perfect every time. One of the best live performing bands out there in my opinion.

[@takeshiC1]

Really good performance! Close your eyes and you could believe it was 1999.

[@hipyoungolddude5204]

hard to do with dexters deeper voice

[@Vhaldemar90]

They are playing in Eb tuning live at least since 1997.

Well, after this comment I had to go there and check a 99's performance. This one here sounds pretty good, though.

When they asked the dudes from the original Misfits crew how bands like theirs stand the test of time. They said you don’t need to be able to sing, you don’t need to be able to drum well, or play the guitar well. You need to have really really good songs. That’s it. That’s all it is. Here’s to the greats!

[@holomatrix]

Wow. 🤯 I always had heard of the legend of how good they were live. 1:51 As soon he hits that vocal range, you can tell immediately it's them. So tight, still. Jesus Christ.

[@leewhitworth9142]

I'm not really an Offspring fan, but they sound amazing here.

[@rcatkin1]

Remember there’s always time to turn things around. No matter how bad things might be there will always be a chance to make it better. Yeah it might effort and sacrifice and it might not be what you dreamed of in school but it’ll be worth it. Fragile life and shattered dreams yes, end of the story? No if you don’t let it. Amazing song.

[@natmilcur]

Nice to hear Dexter's guitar tone has improved since Woodstock 99. Just came to this from that video and jesus christ the tone is so much better. The singing is also ten times better
