I chilled with AAF on their tour bus back in 2011 before a show in NYC....these guys are genuinely nice and they really care about their fans. They played two acoustic songs and were giving out beers..really cool, I never will forget that day. Thanks Dryden and company.
Doug Prishpreed that's really cool. Thanks for sharing.
uhh the broke up way before that
@@dubb9020 they got back together before that too
Movies >>>>> smooth criminal
Everybody should know this. But both songs are great
We fade out! Our last, scene.
Big facts!!!
Obviously
their whole cataloge > movies & smooth criminal
summer, sticks and stones, happy death day, glow all muuuch better
Interviewer doing his best Howard Stern impression
Yeah he's trying way way way too hard. It's like he's intentionally talking through his nose.
@@Billkwando Yeah, his voice is way too nasally for me.
Smooth Criminal was definitely their most known, and most played song. But anyone who explores music beyond what's just on the radio knows how great they actually are tough.
This guy interviews for a living? Jesus id do better than this jobber
Yeah he’s a wanker
He sucks.
Love this band, been into them since 2002. Dryden seems really cool. Interviewer not so much.
I saw them live in Melbourne 2002! I was in the mosh pit, and found out I was pregnant later! I was going to name baby Dryden, but I had a girl. 😁💕
This interviewer is a notorious, overtalking, tonedeaf, uninformed asshole.
Dj: "How old were you when you first got laid"
Dryden: "I don't wanna talk about it".
I love Dryden.
I've had a crush on him since 1996 oh gosh lol
He’s got a very good voice. And STILL DOES.
What's wrong with this interviewer why is he being douchey about the questions he's asking?! U could literally ask the same questions in a different way...
I met the band at Morning View the coolest group of guys. So humble I even got to play a song with the band. Didn't realize how lucky I was back then!
The recording studio / house? That’s amazing and a dream!
Their second album truant is unbelievably underrated. I think it runs laps around the first record. It’s catchy, groovy and at times, even becomes very experimental. There is one song where they completely play around with Latin jazz and it’s amazing. I’m really quite surprised that album did not elevate them to a bigger status.
Late Night Matinee I haven’t really heArd much of that one. I’ll have to check it out because I very much enjoy ANThology.
The name of that Latin Jazz song is called Tia Lupe. And yeah, truANT is an underrated album. Glow was the big track on that album and it's so catchy.
probably their best album IMO!
interviewer is awful.
yeah agreed. He's like a poor mans howard stern
Mentioning Howard's name in the same sentence as this tool is such a dis to Stern. This douchebag is awful.
He's got MLA. Mouth Like Anus
Yea . . . It's Rover (WMMS). I can't listen to the station in the morning anymore because his show is a tremendous insult to my intelligence. His other members of his "cast" are so unbelievably stupid that they actually make him seem intelligent.
Interviewer is a massive doushe
Mike Cosgrove is a phenomenal drummer!
Brian Burk totally agree. Great fills and timely dynamic changes
hell yeah he is great and very underrated
One of my favorite bands ever. Been a fan since like day 1! ♡♡
Dryden and the bass guy will always be my favorite AAF members
Been a fan of AAF for a time now, though not overly, other than 'These Days' being easily one of my top 20 songs of all time, I'm recently getting into the albums more, purchased FAF, and really getting into them now. After this interview, respect level has increased and I hope, REALLY hope more albums are in the future!
Truant is a badass album if your yet to check it out. its hard to come by on a CD though....
Luke Smith I have all the albums. Have for a while, just never gave them the proper listening.
agreed, been a lover for over a decade but never heard the story of the artists. and wow. Im more a fan now than I ever could have been. I really wanna hear the true back story to 'These days' if anyone has any leads plz dm me
Dryden is wise. He's real with himself.
Thank You
how did this guy ever get his own show?! good lord what a terrible interviewer
Dope profile pic. Underrated incubus release
alien ant farm's version of smooth criminal is the only smooth criminal i like to listen to
sen by far top 3 or 5 covers of all time
Dryden is such a cool guy.
I had such a huge crush on Dryden. 💕Love Alien Ant Farm 💕
Me tooooo lol 😁😄
Seems like such a cool ass dude, and humble. Movies is their best song hands down.
Super honest, that's exactly how every interview should be. Really hoping for an AAF strong return!
This is a great interview! I'm a hip hop artist. But I had their first CD. This interview is way more interesting than I thought. Props to the dj for asking all the right questions.
Dryden is a real dude. Cool as hell.
"spraying those guts" lmao that was funny as hell.
That is so fuckin cool that Michael said.."You know what, the kid can wear the mask."
But they had to reshoot the whole dance because he was offended at first, so he wasted a lot of money and peoples time for nothing.
Is it just me or dude doing the interview completely takes over...Dryden is a cool cat if you let the interview be about him
it was because of the Smooth Criminal song I searched for other songs by The Band. now I have all 5 albums and they are my favourite albums of all time!!!!
Cool interview. I saw them in Riverside on March 16, 2001 at the Rocks club I think it was? Funny I was from Orange county too and moved to Riverside and am the same age as Dryden. I wanted to be in a rock band but it never really happened for me. Now I just write books.
That whole album was fire!!!
Whenever these guys came to Portland OR my dad was basically who they hung out with and my dad woke up with dryden runnin around naked in the earlt 2000s
Dryden you guys are lucky to be alive after that bus crash. R.I.P. to the driver.
The guitarist nailed it! that was some super tight playing, it sounded hard to play on an acoustic but he did it flawlessly
I bought their album when I heard movies the first time it was released. Before smooth criminal. To this day movies is one of my all time favorite songs
Love Dryden 💘
But I love bass players.
Anyone else find it funny mike told the little kid dancing to put the mask back on
Luckily, Dryden is so personable. He really drove this conversation. 😅
Alien ant farm is one of the best band's ever
Real people listen to all the music anyway.
Rover is a Radio host in my town in my county in Ohio and there's only two opinions on Rover, either you hate him or love him.
imo, Movies is 1st, These Days is 2nd, and Smooth Criminal is 3rd.
Just like all the best of albums they have
Love how Dryden subtly fucks with the host.
These days goes hard
I knew them before Smooth Criminal. They r great.
Love the acoustic version of movies at the end of this.
Beautiful voice. Love that song ❤️
just finished listening to "Attitude" fkn great song
You Are Welcome
#AAF4L
Rover is a quintessential example of why terrestrial radio is all but dead.
Bought Anthology on a whim 20 yrs ago after I heard movies. Will never forget hearing it and going holy shit this band is sick✌🏼
Born and raised in riverside. Riverside in 97' it was its own thing for sure.
Dryden is cool 😎 Dude
Great interview. So real ❤️ so raw 👅
I want this guy on joe rogan podcast I feel like they'd get on well.
29:38 is movies acoustic
Holy shit he said spaying those guts lol he would sneak in shit & they didn't hit the dump button
These days I pray for new AAF music
lmao wont happen my dude
@@whiterunguard9979it happened!
Movies and these days were way better than smooth criminal
Attitude is fire
Just think, in 2021 that little boy and MJ in the mask would just be daily life.
Why does the radio host sounds like he wants to bother Dryden because of Smooth Criminal being their first single and breakthrough success? it was a brilliant cover! one of the best covers ever! but MOVIES is more like their anthem
I liked them for Movies way before they covered Smooth Criminal.
Interviewer sounds like the Head Radio guy in GTA.
I never heard of Rover before, but I'm not sure why he is getting so much hate in this interview. People love what Dryden was saying and how honest he was. He was telling great stories because he was being asked the kind of questions to get him to spill that much information. I say job well done. I think Dryden felt comfortable with Rover, and getting someone to feel comfortable and be brutally honest is not easy.
Book•kaki lmao
Interviewer is super annoying. Like stop interrupting. It’s not your interview. Bleh
Take the interviewer out if the equation.. a perfect interview
Shoe string budget.......have you seen this video?
Yeah that DJ is a bit of a moron.
Mark Roper is doing well I see
Ask him is Annie ok
Idk I kinda like the interviewer
A5AP KillThemAll he has a good voice but he’s a douche
Great interview (aside from Dj) ... fantastic version of “movies” at the end.
Where did they get this interviewer? Learn to interview. Geez.
I utterly despise the whole “I don’t need to be polite cuz I says it how it is! I says it straight!”-style of radio host. They get talented artists on their couch and they “put stuff bluntly” and passive aggressively “Say what the people at home are thinkin’!!” but really it’s just them thinking it. Kudos to him for a moment of brief self-deprecation with his looks, but when he says how being on the radio makes up for that kind of proves me right. They want to be in that world of music and artists, but haven’t created a single thing, themselves. No research. Bitter. Insecure. Just the worst.
lol what a stern wanna be
This was such an awful interview, their anthology album was an amazing album and he should have focused on that instead of adding to the "your only known for one song" thing
The host voice doesn’t match his face. Also, he’s annoying.
Is Dryden bi tho?
MOVIES >>>>>>> SMOOTH CRIMINAL
I much prefer Movies to smooth criminal. Movies and Courage are some of my favorite songs.
These guys rock. Nice interview.
Masters of the universe would have been a good name
Affiliates? Not in Chicago, not Minneapolis. Where?
This was Cleveland. This is Cleveland's wanna be Howard Stern. They went to Chicago at one point to make the show bigger in that attempt, and they failed there, and then came back to Cleveland. For whatever reason, they have/had a big following in Cleveland unfortunately.
Frustrating interview, I loved Anthology from start to finish
Man . Hard to write good songs.
bob and tom show > paint drying > rovers stupid show
Anyone got the story on the These days shoot ? pm me i promise im not a journo
INTERVIEWER IS A FLOG!
Where is the whole interview?
Why did Larry King dub his voice over the interviewer?
Why is he wearing sunglasses in a radio studio?
William Avitt : They probably told him before going in the room that he's going to be on camera.
He's a confessed alcoholic. He's probably hanging over hence all the stupid questions and self comparisons.lol
First impressions are everything and this radio host is horrible!
You can tell this host hates this guy.
Worst interview ever
3:31 😂CRAZY
intervewier sucks plays smooth criminal like playing teen spirit for kurt
I smell a lot of cap when he talked about getting laid
Maybe? Who knows tho
What a terrible interviewer he never did one bit of research.
I love the music video and it fits the song but 02:55 «one of the most expensive videoes for that time» i so doubt that. Or I can believe they mismanaged the money so badly, but the video does in no way reflect that statement. There is absolutely nothing impressive about the video. It’s a video with a bunch of kids jumping around a wrestling ring and a sidewalk with lights on. How on earth did that become on of the most expensive videoes lol.
It's based off the Matrix!?! ...and Ancient Aliens
