When the album Floored was released, every song except for "Fly" sounded like this. Fly was just something they did as an experiment. Low and behold, it was their first hit and they changed their style to match Fly. One can wonder what would've happened had they become successful with the harder sound they first had.
Sasfoot Indeed, the Corporate Machine didn't like the rebel fuck you sound and pushed them to be sell outs. But in the end life is about making money cause without it you cant support a family.
❤ Best song they played LIVE.... @ The Rose In Pasadena... Mark came up to me and my bf decked in our mohawks and punk clothes and said "So.... How did i do?? 90s enough? Hahha man i miss seeing people (punks) like you. I was just like you guys. We need more punks at my shows." He said come visit more often at his shows. I patted his chest and said to Mark you'll always be punk and 90s at heart. He was super chill.
What a kickin' ass tune....I'm listening this since 1995 and I never get tired of it...guys, if someone still has to, listen to their "Lemonade & Brownies" album: it's totally genius.
Sold Out? They are a band ! They were sighned . Yes The public gets what they deserve not what they demand unless we all decide to be a business not a band(from Agent Orange I met at the Orange Bowl a great old school deep left hand kidney pool in the Tustin Hillsup top of one! A great skateboard spot I spent some time skating with good memories and a few pics
Yeah, but then again if they were really enjoying making the kind of music they did after this then more power to them. Who knows, I don't know any of them personally so I do not know how they felt about either style of music. Some bands sell out in a different way when they refuse to change and keep making the same shit for years even though its palpable they are sick of their own shit.
djb5255 This needs a Noble prize & Gold Mens Figure Skating Medal. Road Rash was amazing. I played 1-2 Sega and 3D on PS. Still got them in my collection :)
Back in March 1995 I was a teen coming home from school in time for lunch and this video was in heavy rotation for a solid two to three weeks. I fell in love with this band. Lemonade and Brownies is still the best album in my opinion. It's so diverse and refreshing to listen to, still to this day after almost 30 years.
If they would release another album with songs like this, they would be back at the top of the heap so to speak. There aren't really alot of "big" bands out there that're pullin' off this kind of stuff. Their name alone would guarantee some degree of success. Not to mention all of the '90s kids that'd be goin' nuts for this. I know I would.
I would love to hear them put something else like this out, but I don’t think it would put them back at the top of anything, today or 12 years ago, when you made this comment. This type of music hasn’t been popular since, like, 2003 at the latest. They’d have a better chance making a new album with their post-sellout sound. That type of music has made a comeback in recent years.
@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai yea these people are delusional. This album didn't even put them on the top of the heap when it came out. The album flopped and they were considered second rate rhcp knockoffs. It wasn't until they "sold out" that they had any kind of success.
This song reminds me of the good 90s. The summers. Where everything comes alive. See, they don't make songs as good as this anymore- and that's sad to know about.
Damn this song gives me a Sex Pistols meets Motorhead type of vibe. It's like the perfect fusion of Punk and Metal. Who would have thought just a year or so later these guys would sell out and turn into a quasi-boy band singing mainstream pop music. My mind is blown.
This song was actually off their first album, 'Lemonade and Brownies'. Most of their music was more hard rock influenced at the time. They wrote Fly for the second album, and it really didn't fit with the rest of the music on the record, and they wrote it as a joke at first, but the producer David Kahne loved it so much he convinced the band to model the following albums off of it.
I've heard that for the second album they actually wanted to do a sorta Metallica tribute to the fact that they wanted to originally call Kill em All, Metal Up Your Ass. they were gonna call it Shiny Solid Object Up Your Heiny Hole, and it was going to be all semi loosely based Metallica covers. Now I am not sure of the validity of that because I heard that a long long time ago but that would have been freaking hilarious and awesome.
I love this sound. It's kinda funny telling people how good they used to be, because no one would believe you. I've gotten laughed at many times for bringing it up.
***** Hey dude! No problem, I'm always listening to Lemonade & Brownies and Floored! Big fan.. I seen you guys play near me at the Paramount in Long Island with Everclear and Marcy Playground. Great show! I won a beer over a bet you guys would play Mean Machine that night. Good times!!!
I've heard a number of different things about Sugar Ray - they sold out, they didn't actually like their sound before and wanted to change it, they organically decided to change their direction.... I don't know what the truth is, but I want to see the universe where this Sugar Ray got popular and stuck around. It is _criminal_ that the only time I heard this song before now was on a soundtrack for a Road Rash game.
I tell the answer of what happened to our 'sound' in a video on my channel. Fly was really an accident. I won't go into detail here but yeah.. Most people don't know..
@@murphykarges7584 Wow, I did not know any of the band members had a TH-cam channel. I just checked out the Fly video, and I'm excited to look at more. I should also clarify, "old" and "new" Sugar Ray is good music, I like both, I just prefer the heavier sound in general, if that makes sense. I just feel like my comment could have come off as like, trashing the new sound, and a lot of metal/rock fans who like heavy stuff like to dunk on more pop-rock sounds. But I think both have merit.
Man, I still love the popular Sugar Ray. That was my middle/high school era, they helped define me. Along with Vertical Horizon, Matchbox 20, Linkin Park, and Creed.
Heard this every time I played Road Rash 64. By the time that game came out, though, Sugar Ray had already changed into the band we know them as today. Sucks they abandoned their harder sound in favor of the lighter stuff, but after they experimented with "Fly" and it became a hit, I don't blame them for continuing in that direction. It was the late '90s: many artists and bands out there, and you had to stand out to get a piece of the pie.
Sugar Ray /Shrinky Dinx Glad you guys are still making great music! Happy to hear great songs like this! Good work Mark and all of youkeep them comming if you can I have been a fan since seeing you often as SD back in the BBG"s times Thanks to all of you!
When I was watching the end credits for Road Rash and saw that sugar Ray did this song, I was like “No fucking way is this the same band.” But yeah. They sold their souls to the Frathouse Rock movement of the late 90’s
I had RR3D years ago on my PS1 and it broke sadly, so a month ago I bought it again for two reasons: 1) Old school gaming 2) The superb music If anything, I think this was the song that got me into metal, I was only about 9 or 10 at the time but this song with CIV and Full On The Mouth changed the way I listened to music and it's not gonna change any day soon =D.
This is my 2nd favorite Sugar Ray album!! It's just amazing! :-D Here's my top 5 Sugar Ray albums: 1. 14:59 2. Lemonade and Brownies 3. Sugar Ray 4. Floored 5. In the pursuit of Leisure.
Lawlz it's Head from Korn on guitar! But seriously, Sugar Ray were so different back in the days before. They could've been a decent nu-metal band if they kept at this rate.
For better or worse, Sugar Ray really went through an identity change over their career. Certainly better for their wallets, though a few of us miss the moshable older material. Can't really blame them, though. It's tough out there for musicians, even successful ones.
I love this song, still my fav from Sugar Ray. They managed to pull off the switch from hard rock/metal to pop and sound good both ways, so no one got mad and called them sellouts LOL but I always thought the lyrics were "My pappy said son, don't drive when you're drinking" but apparently the lyrics are ACTUALLY "My pappy said son you're gonna drive me to drinking"
@@SyphusBatterus of course they sold out LOL I just said that no one cared about it back then. For me, I don't care WHY a band made the music, as long as it sounds good.
Celio19891 Nickleback too, they went to Hard Rock or Alternative Rock, and dove into a little Soft Rock (or I call Pussy Rock); and then just stayed there.
@@psychobillynumbnuts1 Road Rash 64 is not pretty, nor slick, but was the only one who let you actually pick your racer, and had a kickass multiplayer!
Road rash memories...

Me too dude :D

I watched your fucking video on worst songs of your adolescence and came straight here...
Nothing better than The 'Rash.
90's when you could see a mosh pit at Sugar Ray show.
This is the real Sugar Ray. Tongue-in-cheek hard rock.
A bigger change in tone throughout their career than Nickelback.
When the album Floored was released, every song except for "Fly" sounded like this. Fly was just something they did as an experiment. Low and behold, it was their first hit and they changed their style to match Fly. One can wonder what would've happened had they become successful with the harder sound they first had.
had they kept going in this direction i think their third album might have sounded similar to One Hot Minute by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Ever heard of Snot?

as a bassist that's a pretty tricky song to nail

Road Rash 64..... I still have the all bikes password still stuck in my head from being a kid. God the memlries!
I remember hearing this song in concert. Nearly blew my eardrums. Loved it.
If i was at Ur place i would love too
Was in Road Rash 3D one of my first ps1 games. Great memories here!
Sugar Ray should have never sold out, we need more music like this.

Road Rash on N64, anyone??
sega cd here haha how old school, either way was a badass game for any system wish they had another one for nowadays
djb5255 This needs a Noble prize & Gold Mens Figure Skating Medal.
Road Rash was amazing. I played 1-2 Sega and 3D on PS. Still got them in my collection :)
Hell yeah, me & my two other friends loved its unique multiplayer
I would play the shit out of road rash if they had it today. Play online races with some friends
I remember this song from Road Rash 64, I would never have thought this was Sugar Ray.
The great Road rash from N64
At times I wish Sugar Ray stayed like this.
I wish they would go back to this sound
This fucking kicks ass.
This song alone actually makes up for all the other stuff this band did.
...from one of the most Alt-Rock album of the Nineties : Lemonade & Brownies! Just Love it !
I wanna whip out my 64 and play Road Rash!
I always played this game on Sega, But my favorite was Road Rash 3D on my PlayStation.
Sad thing RR3D developers didn't even bother to have multiplayer on it
nothing beats the good ol' n64

@@johnwatkins7382 thanks for defining the term sell out.
You're talking about a solid Punk album..
That main riff is fkn addictive 😎🤘
thanks
It makes me sad that they made one album like this, then sold out. I wish there was more of this.
This song reminds me of the good 90s.
The summers. Where everything comes alive.
See, they don't make songs as good as this anymore- and that's sad to know about.
if they made gangbusters with this album they'd probably stick with the nu/alternative/funk metal for longer
Yeah they're one band that demonstrably sold out. I remember when "Fly" came out and I was like "WTF?"
there are two like this. "Floored" and "Lemonade and Brownies"
check out Snot, Get Some..the better of the only two Loungecore bands ..
Watched Sugar Ray perform this tonight in Valdosta, Georgia (4-13-2024) 💪🏻
Loved it back in the day when Beavis and Butthead watched this video lol
Damn this song gives me a Sex Pistols meets Motorhead type of vibe. It's like the perfect fusion of Punk and Metal. Who would have thought just a year or so later these guys would sell out and turn into a quasi-boy band singing mainstream pop music. My mind is blown.
This band is like many socialist parties, that after they rise to government power they turn into capitalist parties
did we sell out?
I had a supercharged 69 Chevy Nova called "Mean Machine". I know it's not the same but this song always brings me back....
Bulldog + Hockey Rink = pure awesomeness.

Of course man! Band kicks ass. Bring the hard core
has to be something for lead singer to featured on tribute album for Lynn Strait
Yeah Sugar Ray does not think this is heavy, Their one of my Favorite Middle Grunge Rock bands So Screw the Haters, This Song is awesome.
heard this on the radio today.. dj said sugar ray..killer old school jam..
Seeing this on MuchMusic as a hockey playing kid made me want to learn guitar and got me psyched up for games like no other song could!
Guys we’re so dope on this album . Wish they didn’t go pop , but then again money talks.

and even the strokes. even tho the band still kicks ass
