My first friend was Matt's little brother. It was amazing growing up knowing the lead singer. Such a great guy. And their music was so good. R.I.P. such a great band.
I remember being a kid and this song being one of fondest favorites on one of the best skating games to come out ever. It got me through a lot of hard times when I finally became an adult. Thanks The Explosion and THUG 2, I'll never forget this track having that kind of impact in my life.
No it doesn't man. This song's my childhood from the video game Tony Hawk's Underground 2 I always played it at my grandma's house when I was a kid on the PS2.
This album "Black Tape" is f'ing fantastic, 5 star. They still play the occasional live show, opened for Dave Hause (lead singer from the Loved Ones) here in NYC at Bowery Ballroom, few weeks ago 3/11/20, one of last shows before the whole quarantine thing hit. They bring it live, legit!
In my opinion 1 was better but THUG 2 was awesome as well. In fact I think all Tony hawk games from THPS 1 to American Wasteland are some of the best games ever :)
+Cory Baxter Proving grounds was an epic one for me. Although there were no in the feels originality like THUG 2. Thug 2 was old school. FIRECRACKERS AWAY! SKATOPIA!
Fun fact: I originally heard this song on the Burnout 3 soundtrack and that version was actually edited! The first two lines of the first verse are removed and the remaining verses are spliced around and repeated instead. I was really thrown off when I heard the original version on Spotify haha
I've listened to this song so many thousands of times for almost 20 years now and only gets better with time. Definitely they're most iconic signature song along with No Revolution!
This is one of the most influential songs of my entire life.. and EVERY time.. I hear this passionate song.. I will sing it at the top of my lungs in front of any audience.. this is pure passion and the definition of beautiful music
It’s so weird with music how we went from this 20 years ago to full on computer made rap and pop. I mean people don’t even know this type of stuff exists anymore.
Saw these at Nottingham Rock City in 2004, The Explosion, Millencolin and Swingin' Utters were supporting acts for (Not Very) Good Charlotte lol, I watched all the "supporting acts" then went home very very happy wearing an Explosion t shirt !!
16 skating around my hometown all summer long listening to this song and plenty others, getting into trouble, drinking, doing mushrooms and just about everything else I could get my hands on, spiked Jean jacket with patches all over. Now I'm 32, got a kiddo on the way, drinking a couple beers and in bed by 10:30. I will always cherish the days long gone.
dude, i remember back between 2003 and 2005, i used to get FUSE on basic cable and this song was always on. I jsut nostalgia'd pretty hard watching it just now, thinking back to being 12-14, that was a good time
When this song came out I remember someone saying that they wish they could play this on an alarm clock so they woke up to it every morning. I agree with that person. :3

@@DIP_BUH1207 yeah, maybe the lyrics were too harsh for kids. That explains why I was thrown off when I heard the version with the lyrics for the first time, years later after completing the game.
@Mattmoo36 WHAT? The Bouncing Souls are one of my favorite bands ever and I was just on this video to see a punk band with so much potential, wasted. And they are back and touring with TBS? Awesome!
i literally grew up listening to this song playing thug 2 remix on the psp. this was the soundtrack to my childhood. countless hours poured into that game.
Thug 2 brought me here after the song was randomly recommended on spotify a week ago (about 5 or 6 years since i played thug i think?) and i was slapped so god damn hard by nostalgia i couldnt help but listen to it on repeat and start looking for ps2s or original xboxs on ebay
This whole album is way underrated. These guys kick ass!!!
Back when video games cared about your entertainment rather than your pockets. THUG 2 all day
For me it's cars.
I wake up, this song is in my head randomly for the 1st time in years. I listen here, all is good.
God is real. Who else would put this great song in your head randomly a decade later? Same thing happened to me 😂

THUG 2, Burnout 3, and Cars brought me here.

GameMaster That Cars game was a rare licensed title done right. And it tied up the first movie very well.
Cars?
Cars the video game

Burnout 3 and Cars: The Video Game memories… 🥲
So here I am, I'm back at the crossroads again. Lord let me stand on top of the mountain again.
I wish The Explosion was still around, so much great music could have been made...
Ah The beautiful care free youthful energy 😊
This song reminds me of my childhood because I always used to play THUG 2 on the PS2 and I still love this song today.
THUG 1 and THUG 2 on PC bro ;-) Good memories ;-)
@@PLMacflyPL You played them on PC instead of PS2 bro.
@@PLMacflyPL Because for me I used to play THUG 2 on my uncle's PS2 at my grandma's house when I was a kid. It's great memories dude.
Thug 2 was one of the best games ever made and will always be.

@sharker102 we should've had the lyrics in the game.

Didn't expect a game like burnout to be bootlickers lmao
I remember doing a perfect race with 0 recks when I was 7 and this song was playing. Core memory for me.
I've listened to this song so many thousands of times for almost 20 years now and only gets better with time. Definitely they're most iconic signature song along with No Revolution!
never played any skating games but had the pleasure to meet the explosion a few times - great band, great guys
MTV2 and about two and a half decades brought me (back) here. Good times.
Underrated track. Burnout 3 baby
De mis favoritas de Burnout 3
Still rocking this in 2024!
Damn, this gives me memories from what seems like a lifetime ago. If you’re still here in 2021...you’re a legend ❤️👍✌️
1:40
That guitar... Is iconic.
Burnout 3 Song, back when EA games were good and Non-Evil, and music didn't sound like Sh*t
***** :D

heck yeah, loved that. Hopefully good times will come back again!
THUG2 > Burnout 3. Soz bro.
My absolute FAVORITE racing game of ALL TIME. It was the first Burnout game I EVER owned and played, and SHIT was i fucking amazed to own it. :DDD
lewan I never played Thug2, but Burnout was literally my childhood 😂
How can a song like this portray this year so well
Comments:
99% - Tony Hawk's Underground 2, Cars, & Burnout 3 Takedown
1% - Skatepunk genre
0% - I ❤ The Explosion!
I guess this is one of those overlooked bands.
Skate punk genere is god
Mitchel 7346 don’t forget midnight club
@@erickramirez9323 but that was No Revolution
Bruh I was here BECAUSE of The Explosion. Without them, this song would've never existed.

so there was actually a skate punk genre?it sounds so refreshing,i want more of it actually
Millencolin practicly invented it. ;)

mickaelaria then listen to songs by Millencolin, the creators of Skatepunk.
So Pennywise or the offspring didn’t have anything to do with it huh?
@@Mitchel-lz9um i think you mean JFA created the skate punk genre
I'm genuinely tearing up on the train from the nostalgia
Burnout 3 and Cars woah good times
even though cars only has the instrumental version, i still sing along while playing
December 15, 2024!!!!!! HERE I AM
I love how they bring my inner kid spirit back alive brings me back to a place of happiness rock on lil dude

Timeless song, love it. The fact that the lead singer looks like Paul Flowers from Scrubs is just a chuckle-worthy bonus
Sad this song only has the amount of views that it has. This is a huge part of my childhood. THUG 2 and Burnout 3... Nostalgia...
1:57 - 2:12 beautiful part imo
Never new this had lyrics until today and i was aware of this song since 2010
i wish we could just go back and make talented people and good music popular again. didn't know that this would all end.

Man, i loved Burnout 3

The golden age was before coronavirus

[Verse 1]
There's poison in the boys in blue
There's poison in the boys in blue
Corruption, greed, and feud are all I see
You're in a disarray
Things used to be a different way
Whatever happened to the golden age
It's gone, yeah, it's gone away
So don't ever turn your back again
(One false move and we're all dead)
[Chorus]
Here I am, here I am, here I am
I'm back at the crossroads again
Oh, let me stand, let me stand, let me stand
On top of the mountain again
[Verse 2]
There's movement in the distance
Gunshots are all I hear
This petty resistance is all I see
I want to walk away
Remember better days
We watch the death of something beautiful
It's gone, yeah, it's gone away
So don't ever turn your back again
(One false move and we're all dead)

Why does the song in burn out 3 start with "there's movement in the distance, disputes are all i hear"?
Yeah, I thought they said pussy instead poison, no wonder in Burnout 3 it just immediately skip to "Corruption..."

Thank you, Tony Hawk series, for introducing me to such nice bands!
After about 10 years this is the first time I've actually heard the singing in this.
Brings me back to those Tony Hawk days =P forget which game this was in but it was in one of the old ones

Why is this so much better mixed than it is on the actual album? The drums are so much punchier.
Seeing them tonight in Philly! Must be a one off show they're doing
I miss my old times

so glad i saw you guys last night!!!!!!!!
Remember my old Xbox. Burnout 3 Takedown and Tony Hawk's Underground 2. Seriously 1995-2005 were the days, better music, games etc. I want it back..
This song deserves more attention.
why doesnt this have more views?
Really miss this band 😭😭
