What's Your Kryptonite?! Vocal ANALYSIS of 3 Doors Down For The First Time!

Every so often, a song gets placed on my recording list and I just don't have a choice, as is the case with 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite". And I am so glad! This song, and music video, are SO AWESOME, and my nerd brain is swimming.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to 3 Doors Down for the first time, performing "Kryptonite” BOTH on Singer and at Bastau.

You could extend that analogy beautifully to the greatest generation. They won WWII and then pushed the world forward into the modern age and now they're wrinkled and forgotten about. They're still the same heroes that they always were.

[@iankenney6515]

This is a band that has truly stuck with me through the years. "Here Without You" is a stronger showing of his vocal talent. There are several others as well.

[@daltonbrink9924]

I second that.

I'd say either here without you or landing in london

[@DaveJ188]

Holy crap, the official video for Here Without You is coming up on a billion views!

[@ZackHamlin1]

When I’m Gone has always been one of their best.

[@WristwatchAddiction]

Brad is the most non-rockstar rockstar I’ve ever seen. In the years I’ve known him on a professional level, not once has he ever mentioned his music or career or even who he is. I assume he knows that I know but it has never been addressed & I have to say, I think that’s the coolest thing. He’s just a guys guy. One of the kindest, most soft spoken people I’ve met. He would be a great person to have on to discuss music purely due to that fact.

[@bassmunk]

That would be awesome if we could make that happen!

[@cjwright79]

@@bassmunk yeah and I bet if he saw this video he'd really appreciate just how much Elizabeth appreciates him, so that would go a long way towards getting them in the same room together

[@BlueProphet7]

What a cool relationship. And what a cool compliment to pay someone. I'm so glad to hear it.

[@loberd09]

Those people (non-rockstar rockstars) are few and far between. I live in Nashville and arguably the most famous musician I’ve met was like that. He was a drummer for a multi platinum band for 20 years and works at the liquor store where we both live (and our kids are in the same class). When I went to his house for a dad’s night I saw some artwork on the mantle that looked vaguely familiar but I couldn’t place it. Throughout the night through various stories (and the way people were acting around him) I put together he’s a big name but still have no clue who he is. Later we go into his garage and there are big touring cases with “Goo Goo Dolls” written on them. He sees the look of confusion on my face and I ask him if that’s who he played for. Reluctantly he nods. Dude has played drums on all 7 continents, toured around the world. Works at a liquor store now. Super humble and will list off a ton of musicians who are more talented than him.

[@WristwatchAddiction]

@@loberd09 that’s funny cause I’m in the Boro just south of you. Yea, he lives in both our area & when I first met the guy and his wife, I actually thought I recognized his wife from a business I used to run but I can only assume I must have recognized her from some rock magazine or something back in the day when they got married. I’m sure he got a kick out of being ignored and someone trying to place her instead. Lol! Funny part is I didn’t recognize him till long after they had left the shop the first time. We just know each other in passing & only see the couple about once or twice a year but we had a really good talk on lawn care and flooding in both our gravel drives last time he came around. Like I said, super grounded dude. 🤣👍

[@kevloid25]

I love that line 'you took for granted all the times I never let you down'

[@vanishPK]

"Here without you" - next, please ❤🎉 One of the best rock ballads and great vocal range 🤘

[@КатеринаНес]

[@jasoncarter455]

Here without you sounds more like a country song

[@suryobudi-xt4bn]

Absolutely

[@_hayt_]

here without you or landing in london are really good ballads from them

[@toohighstrung]

The old man has gotten older and lost his hope but seeing someone in need has reinvigorated his drive to become what maybe only a few people need. He realizes that to these people, he can make all the difference.

[@cjwright79]

this cosmic insight into how Brad's background as a drummer has shaped his remarkable vocal delivery is exactly the expert analysis we come here for 😛

[@duckylove3930]

My Daddy was my Superman, always had my back in life. Fighting a 6’2 biker for me… Even at 82, he was a defender of those in need. When this song comes on the radio, I like to believe he is saying hello. 💙

[@taninhawk]

3 Doors Down has a song called Landing in London, which features Bob Seger. I went to a concert in Michigan back in the day, where it was clear that Brad was prepared to sing the song solo, but was surprised as Bob Seger, a Michigander who regularly had concerts at this venue, walked on stage right as Brad started singing the beginning of what was Seger's line. Brad was clearly flabbergasted while able to still smoothly transition into the duet, and afterwards said that was the best performance of his life. I really wish there had been a recorded version of it. The song is great on it's own, but it was definitely a treat seeing the band play it when they weren't expecting the Seger to show up. Also, unpopular opinion, Henry Cavill is near the bottom of my favorite Superman portrayals list. My favorite Superman is Tyler Hoechlin of Superman & Lois, hands down. He was a breath of fresh air, to my great surprise.

[@jimiewilliams7623]

Forever and always, Christopher Reeve.

Sorry, Brandon Routh, I never saw your version of the Man of Steel. - edit: my personal kryptonite: Could be slugs and leeches, might be Doritos (any and all varieties), and definitely is heights. #1 and 3 are phobias, #2 is a taste issue.

[@kennylaysh2776]

Love this song, when it first came out I listened to it soooo many times, especially while driving. I still have this song in rotation now and then, never really gets old.

[@Sharpester]

This band is probably the most famous from our area in South Mississippi, with Jimmy Buffet the most famous singer. I've ran into Brad and his bandmates at gas stations, restaurants, and casinos down here a few times and they were always cool, if not humble. I would have never noticed them if it weren't for my friends who grew up with them introducing me.

[@thegymtiger]

Oh I'm SO excited for this analysis!!! This is my FAVORITE song. Not that I think it is the best song of all time, but something about it has forever cemented itself in my fibers as #1. I look forward to watching your analysis and seeing if I come out with more understanding as to 'why'. Post-viewing edit: I both learned so much (I've never watched the MV, and don't know very much about the history - very cool to learn Brad was a drummer and how that connects to his voice!) from your input and thoughts as well as felt so validated, hearing you also muse about what exactly it IS about his voice that is so...unique. There really is just something about it in this one that gets me like nothing else, and even then, you've done a phenomenal job giving more description to what it is that makes this performance so special. You definitely started with the best one from 3 Doors Down, in my opinion, but a few others that promptly spring to mind: "Here Without You", "When I'm Gone", and "Away From the Sun". As for my Kryptonite... People who think certain music is bad, when it really just isn't for them.

[@brianboye8025]

I am smiling so much with this reactor, this song, this video, this moment. Thanks life.

[@mattjones2726]

Always loved these guys. Other tracks to check out from them are "When I'm Gone", "Away From the Sun", and "Here Without You" Also, I recently went through my old CDs and rediscovered some gems. Goldfinger, 311, and Silverchair were great, but one of my favorites was Eve 6. Some bangers from them were "Inside Out", "Superhero Girl", "Rescue", "Promise", and "Here's To The Night"

[@mondobizzzarro]

I still come back to away from the sun, one of those songs when you're just feeling down, y'know. The road I'm on is probably my favorite though

[@trenae77]

Citizen Soldier is one they did in collaboration with the National Guard.

[@zenez8]

Goldfinger's Superman quarantine video would be fun

[@justincaron8428]

Eve6, by far the worst show I've been to.

[@Izbekial_Schneid]

311 is great

[@TomCarter-x1m]

That whole album is awesome. Every song is a gem.

[@rccola5167]

Absolutely

[@elizabethparker4511]

Yes.

[@irrgamer]

now that you've discovered the beauty of 3 Doors Down, I hope you go back and analyze "Here Without You", which is such a beautiful song that I adore :)

[@metalmark1214]

Brad Arnold wrote this song when 15 years old, sitting in math class bored out of his mind. Pretty good for a 15 year old.

[@Hydrosized]

Ya but that’s it. For 16 it blows!

[@annalouks]

I truly believe people are born to do some things. The talent is incredible.

[@daisypooch4034]

Pretty good for any old!!😂😂❤

[@rccola5167]

Same with Loser. Most excellent concerts from these Mississippi boys.

[@Nastyn1nja808]

lol dope

[@amysmith922]

Some of the nicest guys in rock. Brad & my sister were friends back in Mississippi. He was such a kind person. The talent in this group is palpable.

[@ericalred290]

"Of course he's precise, he's a drummer." Excellent observation. The drum part in this song (especially the intro) is a take off of a basic drum rudiment, the ratamacue, which incorporates a triplet in it. The drummer continues to incorporate the triplet in his playing throughout the song. And yes, I am also a drummer. 😂😂

[@sum1else37]

By drummer you mean Brad, right? Since he's the one who played drums on this album.

[@woodrowsmith3400]

While you correctly defined the drum technique, I refer to it as 'drum and bugle corps'. My favorite example of this technique is "Ballroom Blitz" by The Sweet. Lee Kerslake (Uriah Heep, Ozzy) is also quite likely to play this technique.

[@ClellBiggs]

Bluesy is how I'd describe his voice. He has a soulful sad sound.

[@rebeccaklempner9666]

His pacing reminds me of a blues or jazz singer. I once listened to a radio documentary which discussed how a single song can sound differently when sung by Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra. That's what this reminded me of.

[@DimesUpFx]

"Here Without You" live in Houston 2004. One of their best live performances by far and an absolute hidden gem in general. Highly recommend looking into it if you plan to do more 3 Doors Down in the future! 🙏🏼🔥

[@lauz199]

This should definitely be next!

[@Idalianightfire]

Yeah, I need a good cry

[@anguspollock7529]

Just watched this version now thanks to your comment. Great performance!

[@Topgunphoto]

Saw a recent interview with Brad and I think the lead guitarist where he talked about this video. The clothes they're wearing he said were the nicest stuff he ever owned. Went from driving a fork truck to getting a call that they're wanted to open for a band which they just blew up after. So many great songs.

[@kennylaysh2776]

Back when this album came out, I remember a radio DJ saying this was a demo tape that was so good, it became their first album - these guys blew up so fast. Always loved the band.

[@thulsey022]

​@kennylaysh2776 what's crazier is they had a debut album with Holly House records a small music company on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. There was maybe 4 songs from that album that didn't make it to this one that i believe released on Capitol records. Those four songs that didn't make it were my favorites because they had more rock/metal vibe.

[@SqueebRyS]

The Superman from the 90s animated series will always be my favorite. It's the only screen adaptation I know of that managed to get his character complete right.

[@vashy_777]

I remember back in 2000, we had AOL and i saw an add for "free album". I had no idea what was doing so I put in the house information for a free cd. It was 3 doors down's first album which had this song on it. Best accident i ever made.

[@woofspider330]

Saw these guys on the Summer of '99 tour with Creed and Finger Eleven last year. Brad just seemed so genuinely thankful to be there, still happy to be doing what he loves. Maybe it was his constant "Thank you, god bless you" comments that gave it away. It was overall a really wholesome concert.

[@winterwolfcr7]

I love 3 Doors Down, I found this song/band around the time I was starting to get into music on my own. And not only listening to my dads music. The Better Life was one of the first Albums I owned myself actually and then in 2008, they were my first concert when I was 19.

[@FrankieChervony]

Yup, that "snarl" is called, he's a swamp-fishing, gator-eating, home-grown Mississippi Southern boy! Dude is THE most down to earth rock artists I have ever met.

[@NOLAgenX]

This was the most successful Mainstream Rock Charts so g for the year 2000. It also reached Number 3 on Hot 100, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. It spent half a year on the charts, played nearly everywhere. My favorite though is one of their later hits “It’s Not My Time”.

[@DC_Prox]

In 2003, Weird Al released his 11th album, Poodle Hat. In the lead up to the release, the track listing got leaked, and fans started speculating about the content of the songs. One of the titles was "Ode to a Superhero", and someone said casually "probably a parody of that Superman song", which was met with a few dozen people asking "which one?" Because by this point, there had been so many top 40 songs about Superman, directly or indirectly, that there wasn't any one in particular that seemed to be the obvious choice. Anyway, it turns out the song was about Spider-Man, and it was a parody of Billy Joel's "Piano Man".

[@sprocket123]

Met them on the street after a few of their shows, the most amazingly down to earth guys ❤

[@Lunzatis_Palemoon]

Not really surprising considering they are from Mississippi. It's hard not to be down to earth when you grow up in Mississippi.

[@mondobizzzarro]

Would have loved to meet Matt (RIP), man had a great taste in guitars. I still want one of those ibanez with the lit inlays. Cool dudes for sure

[@mikewatts1533]

I found these guys early on in the career, and I really have not been let down by their music. Thank you for covering this song because it has always been a favorite of mine.

[@cjwright79]

I feel like The X Factor on Brad's voice here is kind of similar to Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20: he's coming from the south, southern impoverished United States. he has really unique insight into how the underbelly of America is functioning, or not functioning as the case may be. reading about the early life of Rob Thomas - and his mother - is a riveting affair, let me tell you! and if we're looking to branch out into this '90s nihilism-core hard rock, we have GOT to begin with the song that started it all, Push, by Matchbox 20

[@DaveJ188]

Yeah, really liking the 90s rock theme lately, Matchbox 20 is another must. 3 am is my favourite.

[@cjwright79]

This is my favorite Three Doors Down song! It's so catchy.

[@curtisblack2894]

I'm seeing a lot of support for reviewing "Here Without You," "Landing in London," and "When I'm Gone." Other songs I personally love from their various albums that I would suggest include: "Loser" "Here by Me" "It's Not My Time" "Let Me Go" "The Road I'm On" (official video features two of the most popular NASCAR drivers of all time: Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart)

[@boredbakedpanda4207]

I've always heard this song from the perspective of someone who loves (loved) an addict. I can't hear it without sobbing.

[@GeddiSadie1]

There's a short story by author Robert McCammon called "Night Calls the Green Falcon", written, I believe, in the late 80s, that I feel this music video had to have taken inspiration from. Very similar story about an old forgotten actor who played a superhero back in the day, but now lives in a small crappy apartment, who pulls out and puts on his old costume to protect the young woman who lives next to him who is being stalked by a serial killer, and ends up taking a journey into the city's seedy criminal underbelly. Really good story, the video has differences, but I feel there's no way it's a coincidence it's so similar to that story. Anyways, loved the analysis, Elizabeth, entertaining and informative as always. Cheers!😁

[@AstridNebula]

Gotta love a good ol rockband from Mississippi.

[@barryberkmanblock]

"here without you" is tonally very different from this song and i think showcases some of the really gorgeous things about Brad's voice and vocal style

[@JayCaruso]

Fun facts: Brad Arnold wrote this song when he was 15. Arnold also played all the drums on the band's debut album, so that's him playing the boom booms.

[@rotten87]

What always fascinated me about this song was how easily Brad sings it. A lot of bands are trying to build the songs up from the beginning and go further the longer it goes, and here, he just sings it. No big deal. Evenly awesome from the start to the end. ❤

She was so excited and the old guy was making her smile so much at the beginning. This is such a sad song about not being what you want were

[@zedsrox1055]

Hopefully you do Three Days Grace with Adam Gontier soon!

[@mminnillo1]

Such a great band! I saw them in concert in 2000 right after this song came out. My first rock concert, and one of my favorite core memories.

[@parrydox.gaming]

This song came out when I was 11/12 and despite being a massive metalhead and hardcore fan; nothing has changed lmao, I always loved this song. It got overplayed a ton so I think many people nowadays don’t listen to it that often if they were around during its release but it’s fantastic. Well written lyrics that transcend music. Fantastic melody and his singing really is on point for the message the song is trying to get across to the listener. He doesn’t try to overdo it or change things up when he doesn’t need to. Sometimes singing with less intensity or “perfection” during some parts helps the listener feel the singers feelings. All in all, great song.

When I’m Gone is my personal favorite song by Three Doors Down, reminds me of the emotions I felt while in the military and going thousands of miles from home.

[@jermac8263]

They have a song with Bob Seger called “Landing in London”. Great song.

[@And_rew92]

One of the most underrated bands of all time

[@countadyn5327]

The acoustic version of this were our walking in music in my wedding :D

[@viper20999]

That pause right before the first hook! I was like oh wait till she hears it and then the pause. Here without you should be your next 3 Doors Down song.

[@matthewgriffin5155]

Away from the Sun by Three Doors Down is excellent, imo, and deserves more love.

[@jasonmick5264]

They sound just as good live! Put on one of the best shows I’ve seen!

[@Becmcg1]

The Better Life is amazing! For me his voice is engaging because it's so deep South without being fake twangy. There is a radio station (95.5 The Rat in Point Pleasant, NJ) that I could only listen to on my way to or from work. They'd play new stuff before it got very mainstream, if it did at all. They'd play songs from The Better Life and one morning had the guys in the studio. I may have been late to work that day. 😁 Immediately went and bought the CD.

[@sirflaps7619]

This song reminded me of Volbeat for some reason. I’d love to see you cover them at some point.

[@PerlStalker]

Suggestion: Superman by Five for Fighting

[@paulwilbur6715]

Crash Test Dummies Superman's Song

[@randomhockeyguy9149]

How about Superman is Dead by Our Lady Peace?

[@Joeblak81]

Superman’s Song is the best Superman song. Ever.

[@paulwilbur6715]

@@PerlStalker REM I am Superman

[@Arquibus]

How about "Sunshine Superman" by Donovan. And "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by the Kinks? And, while we're at it, "Superman" by Goldfinger? lol

[@Oblib-co4cf]

I really like this song and band to this day. I remember seeing them in concert, it was right before kryptonite hit big, think they were opening for seether and remember thinking that they were really good and was surprised I hadn’t heard them yet. It was only a week or two later that this song was everywhere.

[@tracycatt]

Love 3 Doors Down. Music and cats are my kryptonite. 😁

[@zip891]

I often heard it in an irish pub which was my favorite. I never actively listened to it since maybe a year.. but man I love this song!

[@PrestigeLiquidsWW]

I would love to hear you do a breakdown of THE WARNING live at Pepsi Theatre, and do a back to back analysis of Black Holes and Breath. Pau sings both of the songs, she is absolutely incredible

[@dougel4709]

Totally agreed!!! Bring lots of tissues...😭😭😭

[@emeraldmaiden63]

I hear a raw, visceral quality to his voice, but as you said, drummer precise and well-controlled. Love this song.
