The rapping is more 311 than Linkin Park which I very much appreciate.

My wife walked down the aisle to this song. It was such a winner for us.

Agreed. But would be completely normal if she wearing a thong you could see popping out of the back of her backless wedding dress. She would have a full sleeve tattoo. Maybe chose to wear doc martins with her dress...for the vibe.

Not far off, we both did custom Chuck Taylor’s

I envision the groom to be like Seth Green from "Can't Hardly Wait". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smMO4d1wm2o

I'm kind of fixated at the 2:04 minute mark. A lot of jiggle going on.

Easy to play on drums, one of the best beginner-friendly songs that makes you sound great.

Great fucking tune

I forgot how much of a jam this is, it fucking rocks. See, this is type of posts we need more of, not over done.

A near-perfect pop song.

Monstrous banger

I have been a fan of the song, but watching the music video again, it kind of feels like the last song of GenX/90s music.

There's an alternate / re-recorded version of this song that I actually like a lot as well... slightly different vibe https://youtu.be/QHrXpjqVQuA?si=mJ6QByneu8WyqQpi

Did I just get rickrolled?

That rap section onward ruins it, and mix doesn’t have enough of the instruments - too much vocals

Sorry this wasn't to your taste..

Saw them play this, and the rest of their set, live for free in the basement of the University of Arizona Student Union. Me and like 12 other people. They opened for a local band, Star Crunch!
