[@garkon1599]

It was my number one on my bucket list hearing them with my own ears live doing your gonna go far kid. And when they started the latest tour (I am from isreal) they didn't planed on going to my home country so I was planing on going to other country to see them. But I am a 16 years old teenaager with no money so that was not happening. And one they I woke up and the first thing I saw was the new concerte of the offspring, this time in Isreal. Needles to say I had a ticket less then 4 hours later and I was one of the first in line. It was the best time of my life and listening them doing my all time song was a dream comes tryr.😊

Lost the love of my life after almost 40 years together. Two hippies who fell in love together since ages 15 and 16. Grew up while raising children best guy ever gone ten years and still in love with him. Always will be. Watching him fade and die was horrible . Can’t really put it into words that fit. Miss him every day. Felt like half of me left for heaven. Funniest, sweetest man I’ve ever known. It was a joy to love him. Still can’t figure out why two people who can’t stand each other get to live into their 90’s hating each other but we really dug each other and he got taken out at age 57. Still hurts.

Speaking from experience as someone who thrives on anger the reason people who hate or get angry live so long is because happiness is the ultimate goal. There's a reason people say " I could die happy" being happy is what everyone wants. So when you're driven by anger you're not giving up on fighting the world which pushes us forward and keeps us going.

[@serenjns]

The Offspring were one of the first bands I got into that were “weird”. I was bullied horrendously in school because I was a “weirdo,” “moshed,” “freak,” “greb.” Etc etc. When to Columbine school shooting happened being alternative was seen as “wrong,” “dangerous,” “shameful.” I’m from the UK but even over here I felt that. The teachers seemed to think it was okay that I was a target because I didn’t fit into their norm. ‘Smash’ and ‘Ixnay on the Hombre’ were incredible albums for the outsider. They affirmed that being different was okay. The Offspring got me through some tough times and I’m forever grateful.🤘🏻❤️

[@TheJamator]

Huh, you just highlighted something for me that I never connected before. Columbine had such a huge international effect, but i never made the connection that it highlighted the outcasts in that way...

[@SherriLyle80s]

Never knew it affect other countries overseas. That's just so sad. Sorry to hear that. I was just graduating that year when Columbine happened. So, I was able to avoid the new era of mass shootings of children in schools. But now I have children of my own, so it pains me and touches me in a way I never had to think about before having kids.

[@serenjns]

@@TheJamator I used to wear a black trench coat to school. I remember a few days after the shooting my new head of year came into class and asked my form tutor “do we need to be worried about her?” He talked about me like I wasn’t even there and couldn’t hear him. It was horrendous. All the other kids thought it was hilarious. Another stick to beat me with. Even the teachers thought I was dangerous just because I was different. Looking back I should probably be grateful. I developed a thick skin. A high school experience like that taught me inner strength.

[@serenjns]

@@SherriLyle80s yeah, I was in 6th form so not far off from leaving school. I was born in 81. It was a weird time to be different. Since then the whole Emo culture seems to have made being alternative “cool.”

I had a friend of mine who I cared very much for die years ago. About a year later I discovered this song in my phone's MP3 files and I never downloaded it and had no idea where it came from. I had heard of The Offspring but never listened to any of their songs. So I decided to listen to it instead of just deleting it. Upon listening to it I had this feeling wash over me that it was somehow from her. Like it was a message to me because I could almost feel her there with me. I still feel her presence from time to time. Especially when I'm in emotional pain. The song used to bring me pain because of losing her but now it's one I enjoy because it's a way to bring me closer to her and that brings me comfort.

[@kenny240]

This was one of those songs that I was listening to a TON after my brother died a few years ago. When he and his wife passed away suddenly, we had to pick up the pieces, and eventually sort through their things. My sister and I found this song on one of his playlists, and I still jam out to it all the time. It’s hard sometimes, because it makes me a little emotional because, but I think it honors his memory, and it reminds me of his laugh and smile. They say everyone dies twice. Once when your life ends, and again when someone thinks about you for the last time. So, this song certainly keeps him alive.

[@agp11001]

I feel you, man. Favorite song of a dear lady friend of mine, and I mean looping for HOURS. Got killed in a hit-and-run accident three days before officially finishing school . Somebody just literally wiped her off her bicycle and off the street. Never caught the guy. Almost 20 years later, I still get a lump in my throat when that song comes up. Miss you, girl.

If I hadn't been listening to the offspring since I was like 5 because of my dad this song would hit way harder. My mom had a really bad stroke and was officially dead for a few minutes. When she came back she had forgotten everything and everyone while we were not close it still hurt to know that she had no idea who I was. I cant reach out to her now because she knows she has a son but she doesn't know that her 9-year-old boy she somewhat knew is now 23. The song that made a strong resonance with me was alter bridge's wonderful life, because when I was 16 I lost a friend so close to me that I loved and I was with her when she died. So for anyone going through some shit I hope music can help you heal and keep you going stay strong and happy holidays.

My father-in-law passed away last year after fighting 3 years against lung cancer. When he passed away my wife was so devastated, even though we knew all along that there were any other ending, and I felt myself so helpless seeing her in such pain and couldn't be able to take it away from her. At the time this song and particularly that "and if I could trade, I would"- part hit me so hard it broke me to tears every time I listened to it.

This is my absolute favorite Offspring song next to “Can’t Repeat”, which is another you should check out. Simple song, great impact.

[@lisandroxiii5031]

Yes. Can't Repeat is one of thier best for sure

[@Wernershnitzl]

@@lisandroxiii5031 they did good putting it as the first track of their greatest hits.

[@lisandroxiii5031]

@@Wernershnitzl yeah for sure. Love that riff and the lyrics too

[@Saimeren]

This should have been a cover vs original video. Five Finger Death Punch did a cover of this song. It's actually really good too.

[@WilliamVarg]

After such a heartbreaking song you should have a great time with One Fine Day or All I Want

[@candystigliano2144]

saw the Offspring on Sunday at BFD. Dexter did a version of this on the piano with just him...It was so amazing... This has always been my favorite song by them, but now, even more so.

[@HyBr1dRaNg3r]

This song has always made me tear up…Like even back when it was released, nvr had a reason to but it just touched me for some reason

Come Out & Play is a fun Offspring song.

[@chrismenoscal8213]

Words as weapons, plastic man, tied my hands, driven under, and never leave

[@lisandroxiii5031]

Yeah. Love that song

[@shadralovesyou]

Need to do "Why don't you get a job". It is a fantastic song by the offspring.

Thank you for discovering this song. It has meant so much to me since it I heard after friend died in a boating accident in 1997 as a freshman in high school. Only a short time after hearing the news this song was on the radio. It was so uncanny and on point for how I felt. This song has been there to channel my feelings through others passing including my mother 5 years ago. Seeing Dexter and The Offspring play this live in all its variations is so powerful... Especially the slower piano version. Thanks again for showing this song to a new generation.

Hello Alex. I'm from Brazil and recently find out the songs of Offspring and share it with my nine years old nephew. Songs extremely powerful and your reaction was the same I had some time ago: feel the pain in my chest. Congratulations for your videos about this amazing band.

[@Werewolf914]

I love this song so much, the Five Finger Death Punch cover of this is pretty amazing too. The video for that cover is depressing.

[@adamdyson3977]

thats a terrible cover imho. its so flat, issac just sounds bored singing it.

[@drpuma_2901]

I love both also, true art

[@XlissueslXgaming]

@@adamdyson3977 you mean Ivan? Not Issac

[@publicguy1664]

5FDP's cover isn't bad, but I think they should've kept the original pace with Ivan doing harder vocals instead of making it into a ballad.

[@michaelhawkins7389]

@@adamdyson3977 I disagree also it's called personal opinion... Ivan Moody is a powerful singer , take a look at songs like Wrong side of Heaven and coming down... theses songs lyrically are very powerful and sad makes me tear up , but also theses songs, saved my life. in regards to Five Finger death punch's cover of "Gone away" they are both good ,

[@anotherperson6146]

I checked out this song after I heard that lazy cover from FFDP. This version is so much better and way more emotional.

[@Stepea-vg4zk]

FFDP are pricks for covering this

[@Mystress1980]

@@Stepea-vg4zk Most of their covers aren't great, but this one was a straight up insult to the original.

Omg yes The Pretty Reckless is up there with my favorite band Offspring... 25 is so fucking amazing!

[@LordRae]

Yes! Love this song.

[@ninja_tony]

I haven't heard that song yet, so I'll have to check it out, but The Pretty Reckless is awesome.

[@LAHIBRIDA13]

oh man that's an oldie but a goodie. I remember listening to that song when i was like 15 or 14 around those ages.

[@fanievanzyl2839]

One thing that distinguish The Offspring from other bands are their uniqueness. You can immediately recognize their sound without even knowing the song. My first CD ever purchased was Americana at the age of 9. Very special. Fell in love with this song after my dad passed and appears on almost every Playlist I make...

[@ryanstevens7166]

Alex I can’t remember if you reacted to FFDP version of gone away? But it’s amazing how you can take the same lyrics and come out with a different point of view of the song based on the video content.

[@emPtysp4ce]

Offspring version's better

[@mfinck01]

emPtysp4ce way better

[@yanlevesque3392]

You should do "Kristy are you doing ok ?" next !

[@lauraleontaris6622]

You can see his pain In this music video.... I get so many people telling me "oh my god five finger death punch is so much more better than Offsprings version," my response " watch the music video, dexter holland looks like hes having a meltdown and it's way more sad than listening to five fingers death punch cover"

[@lonercowboy2820]

Im with you bro..100 x

[@bobthebear1246]

Absolutely agree. Hell, you don't even need to watch the video to realize that. It's all in the song itself.

[@lauraleontaris6622]

[@AbyssalMerc]

Ivan did it well, but it just doesn't compare to Dexter.

[@adrenalineonwheels5116]

Can't help my self to cry everytime I hear this song, and I can't only hear this once.

[@MsFoxnSox]

Omg. Thank you for reacting to this song. He's right, that pain never goes away. I lost my only sister in March 2020, then my only brother in law Dec. 29, 2020 both due to COVID..so suddenly.. it feels as though someone reaches into your soul and rips it to shreds. Sharing your musical journeys has helped more than you will know. Keep being you and the world will shine a bit brighter each day.

[@djm4457]

This band is perhaps the most innovative rock bands of the 90's and 2000's, and for reasons I cant figure out they haven't received the recognition they deserve. They are masters of their craft on many levels.
