The Middle is such a good song.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 21 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (4 children)

It was only last year I actually learned the real lyrics to the song. I could never quite understand the lyrics by listening until I looked them up. Great message in there about being yourself and not giving a fuck about what haters think or say. 😃

I saw them live in 2004 at the Warped Tour.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That was twenty-two years ago.

Shut the fuck your mouth!

If that tour was a porn star she'd be in MILF porn now.

You told me it was regular coffee!

Oh cool, Warped Tour '04 was my first concert! Best day of my life, honestly.

that was a good tour

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

iirc it was written for a young fan who was getting bullied in school

I always figured it was something along those lines.

God I love that song. I know nothing about the band, haven’t listened to their other stuff, but every time that song comes on the volume goes up, I start singing and tear up a little..

Oh man, that entire album is great.

The middle of JEW? E?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 4 days ago

Lol imagine the alternative. "Not a big fan of JEW." 💀

You really bleed American, eh?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My veins are blue and I have red and white blood cells. Clearly, I bleed French.

[–] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago

Blue blood? Off with his head!

[–] BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 78 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Also don't release an album titled "bleed American" the day before 9/11.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 92 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (4 children)

How about a live album of a concert in NYC that featured the twin towers on fire that was released on 9/11

I found the album a few weeks later in stores, even after they pulled it. Solid.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 38 points 5 days ago

Man, I can't imagine their reaction.

Before release: "Man, thisnalbum cover is sick dude,what a statement"

Then release day: "Oh yeah, big day.... oh yeaj, city on fire man! Wait what? What do you mean actually burning?"

That "Live scenes from New York" really sells it.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago

Oof I'm a big Dream Theater fan and never knew that. Poor timing for sure.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

Throwing DT in the mix seems like cheating.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Bit hard to pull that one off. Unless 9/11 were an inside job and the White House was informing the music industry.

How about an album called "God hates us all" on 9/11?

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Such a fucking good song/album though. I’ll never forget the first time I heard it.

[–] calliope@piefed.blahaj.zone 43 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I laughed out loud when I finally realized what band was saying this.

Humorously, the lead singer is named Jim (Adkins), but the band’s name comes from the backing vocalist/guitarist Tom’s brother, also named Jim.

The band's name came from a crayon drawing made after an incident between [Tom] Linton's younger brothers, Jim and Ed Linton, who fought frequently. Jim usually won, but Ed sought revenge by drawing a picture of Jim shoving the Earth into his mouth; Ed captioned the picture "Jimmy eat world".

I will stick with my bandname for kids parties, Cool Under Northern Thunder, thank you very much.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 35 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

You gotta get yourself one of these shirts

Its a parady of the Northern Territories advertising campaign that blew way up and has outlasted the government's efforts

From an official account too. I fear people are not caring about how effectively they communicate anymore.
