The legacy they have built till this day is unmatched and hearing them talk about the intention behind building a thoughtful group and taking necessary time to protect their own journey is just so refreshing. They’ve seen so many things happen to so many groups but the way they kept themselves grounded to eachother and the reason for doing this is something I hope so many new artists stay close to. They do not make them like this anymore. I hope they know how much we appreciate they still show up for us today and are still THEMSELVES. THANK YOU for this ❤
Wet Hot All American Summer Tour has reinvigorated my love for these guys. They’ve always stayed true to themselves and grown musically with every record. I really hope there’s still more to come!
I have a feeling this was a lot of our stories. Was easier to convince your parents to buy a soft pop album with a go kart and no parental advisory sticker on the cover.
I'm so blessed to have this band in my life. They've brought me many things and I don't know what I'd do without them. I feel like this is a fresh start for both myself and the band and I'm here for it all the way.
Move Along is easily a very short list of my favorite songs of all time. Meant so much to me when it came out and still does now. Glad to see these guys coming back around and still sounding down to earth.
As a fellow Oklahoman, AAR has always been that band that I have alot of love and pride for. I mean, I was 12 years old when that first record came out. Listening to it on my Sony Walkman CD player on the bus to middle school. I grew up with these guys. I've seen them several times live and even met a couple members in OKC. The reason I mention this all, is to emphasize the point they made - they're grounded. Yes, Tyson is a bit eccentric, but the dude is so kind. They're not a bunch of douchebags who drink their own koolaid. They love music and want to share with others. Because of that, I'll always be a fan.
Have been a fan of them since Swing,Swing and still love them so much to this day. I hope for a new record but if it doesn’t come it’s ok. They’ve given us something special
I'll tell you what your music did to me...made me feel not so alone. I will never not appreciate you getting me through middle and high school (am coming up on 36yo). You and 3 other bands (The Spill Canvas, Silverstein, and Linkin Park) have always stayed with me and gotten me through rough stuff. Still listen to all 4 today too. And getting older just makes me appreciate how fucking *good* you all are, and how *amazing* you were then. Just so glad to have had these bands in my ears at the time that I did. Made life so much more bearable. I remember Swing Swing coming out, but My Paper Heart was what got me into the whole album. And this was before the internet was as big as it is. Borders was around, and they let you listen to some CDs before you bought them. Not an old fashioned record shop, but "in my day" that's how I discovered music, how I sampled new music by favorite artists, etc. And they had quite the variety. Where was I going with this? Idk. But I'm just saying...hearing how they wrote the music, and hearing Tyson talk about music being a "supernatural" thing, like a church but better, just nodding my head off at this. And so cool to hear from them. They will never not be in my top 5. And I absolutely know the newest songs from these 4 bands (AAR being easiest because that was how long ago? lawl). But some bands I only listen to their old stuff. Because that's what I prefer. I don't think that's a bad thing, necessarily. Some bands didn't change for the better. And some did. I love Paramore. I adore their whole path from Pressure to Decode to Still Into You to This Is Why...they are all over the map, and it's *great*. But some need to just stick to the past releases...(not naming names...lol). I'll say "When the World Comes Down" is probably my favorite album, but Straight Jacket is my favorite song. 🙃
I think it’s telling how at 43:30 Tyson gives Nick credit and how he needs to impress him first. Goes to show the connection those two have with songwriting considering they cowrote everything for the band.
same! was surprised to hear that tyson hates it - but it also makes sense. he plays quite a douchebag in the song, and it was their first lead single to flop
@@kerleee21 i said “press tour” meaning like interviews. When i posted this comment they had been doing a few sit down interviews to promote their cover single of flapole sitta
thank you to you and the rejects for doing this interview. they changed my life and kept me strong enough to survive through so many things that i went through, from being a teen to the adult i am today. ❤ love u guys!
I'd still love to know what happened why we didn't get an album in 2017 when the Sweat EP dropped, their was a photoshoot, also 2019 when they released Demons and Send Her To Heaven we're recorded in the same sessions as Sweat.
I play their music on the golf course and it always gets the vibes up! Please keep making music and touring... I missed you guys in Fayetteville AR this last go.
My 2 favoritw opposite music groups are AAR and BTNH, both humble through their whole career and stuck together for the most part as brothers in music.
Awesome interview! The band I play in got to open for them this year on 3 military bases. They were super kind, funny, and humble guys. Just like you see on this video 👍
Wonder if this band will ever mention how they really got their name. I have a cousin who was launching a website called the all American rejects and she saw them at a local bar performing and made conversation with them. She told them about her website she was going to launch and next thing you know, All American Rejects are all over the radio. No bad blood. None of us care but it'd be cool if they actually said how they got their name. Legends. Always Loved this band.
Would be cool if AAR went more in the indie punk direction. Their cover of Flagpole Sitta was pretty sick to be honest. I'll always love AAR but I don't think I'd care much if they release another emo album at this point in my life.
It's great to see them again and I'm glad they're looking to try some new music and just have fun with it. I was always wondering why it just seemed to be a single every now and again and rehashed collections of their past work on streaming apps. But I have to say, it actually kinda sucks to learn more about them and dispel the mental image I had of the band. They're insanely humble, which **is** a good thing, but it's so extreme to the point where it's almost self loathing. As if everything they did previously was rushed and bad and not spiritual enough for them. Artists complain a lot about having to churn out hits but the people pushing them usually end up causing them to write and create some rather incredible stuff because of it. Maybe that's why I haven't really enjoyed the newer singles they've released over the years. I wonder if that will be the same with anything else new since it'll be without the friction of working with a label. It's like with the "It Ends Tonight" thing they mention, learning the truth behind them and their records is actually rather disappointing. Sorry, but yes, the song sounds 5x lamer if it's not about a relationship. You're complaining about a depressed roommate that's bumming you out? It's really not very interesting that way. It's a similar situation with "Gives You Hell," which I think was also about a dude and not a woman like most would expect. I can see why everyone told them to not mention that. Oh and Tyson hates Beekeeper's Daughter? Makes sense because it's actually interesting and edgy and braggadocious. I'm surprised he even managed to write it at all, considering it sounds like the exact opposite of his actual personality.
This is all just speculation but its what seemed the most obvious to me. Their roommate was their sacrifice to fame. I know how that sounds but that is a very real thing in Hollywood. dig down that hole for yourself if you want. The way body language, level of interaction, mild increase in character for dude next to Tyler Ritter changed during certain points of Tyler talking about the roommate he hated. And seemingly "jokingly" wanted to kill. Psych doesn't lie very easily and he showed various. Not to mention the fact their 4 BIGGEST songs all came out during that period. And THE SONG NAMES LIKE DUDE. Gives you hell. It ends tonight. Dirty little secret. Move along. Piece that together yourself. On another note. Again more speculation. around 10 min in when talking about the touring and options etc, nick wheeler (i think his name, guy in purple shirt) said in more than one way this was his only option not thinking there was another way. Once you're owned by the industry. Artists are their property in a more scary way. Cant usually leave very easily or at all. End up controlled, blackmailed, threatened, etc. And in such have to put music to a certain frequency and incorporate certain messages that the industry wants in there. Crazy i know but its fucked. That's what where i think he was thinking about when saying that but unable to say it. But hey. this is just crazy speculation ;)
I cannot believe that the show put “Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger in the title as if it was an AAR song 🤣 Y’all need new staff after that one, chief… Big oof lmao
Watching the live reaction as the lead singer speaks is priceless 😂 This band could have owned Pop/pop-punk if the singer could keep clean for 5 mins. Every show was a strung out train wreck.
fire. I bought their Hal Leonard Tab Books from Guitar Center back in like 07. Lots of half-step down tuning stuff. Lots of stuff where GTR 1 and GTR 2 are tuned different aswell. God I love those guitar riffs & squeals on 11:11 PM. Dance Inside and Change Your Mind have some fun guitar stuff in it too. I heard that All 3 of their albums were bounced to TAPE in the studio too. That's why their albums sound so God Damn crips. Mixed By Chris Lorde-Alge. Mastered By Ted Jensen. The conversion is absolutely impeccable with this bands albums. Such perfect instrument choices they use aswell. Drums always so clean. Everything always sits in its own space. The Guitars definitely drive this band. Bass always had that nice warm Fall Out Boy P-Bass, Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pick-up sound too.

Kids in the Street is an incredible album.
It was SOOOO ahead of its time.
How was it ahead of its time ?
Wet Hot All American Summer Tour has reinvigorated my love for these guys. They’ve always stayed true to themselves and grown musically with every record. I really hope there’s still more to come!
It's insane to know I've loved this band for more than half of my life. I'll ride with them forever!
same!
AAR was the band that got me into alternative music, I remember jamming out to their songs when I was 10 years old, still a fan almost 20 years later!
I have a feeling this was a lot of our stories. Was easier to convince your parents to buy a soft pop album with a go kart and no parental advisory sticker on the cover.

This interview made me ridiculously giddy - thank youuuuuu!
This was one of the best interviews I've watched in a long time, so nice to see genuine guys in it for the right reasons after all the years !
I love All American Rejects! I am so happy they are back and touring again! I missed them so much!

Dude you’re an amazing interviewer. I think the band really appreciated that
Genuinely my top 3 favorite artists of all time
Glad they’re back doing shows and that they’re still around. Fingers crossed for a new album
Bee keeper's daughter is one of my all time favorites. 😅
same! was surprised to hear that tyson hates it - but it also makes sense. he plays quite a douchebag in the song, and it was their first lead single to flop
Went to their show in Tampa ! LOVED IT. FINALY got to see my childhood band !!! Love yall so much !
Watched them live, a dream come true!
AAR is such a great band! Been a fan since Swing, Swing…seen them in concert 19 times🎶💕 They always put on such an amazing show
Great interview! I’m feeling inspired now! This shit changed the way I think ❤
Loving the reject press tour recently ❤❤❤
What tour? I googled them for tour dates and they have one or so at a state fair
@@kerleee21 i said “press tour” meaning like interviews. When i posted this comment they had been doing a few sit down interviews to promote their cover single of flapole sitta

I believe they were havjng record label trouble. Both EPS released by different record labels that they eventually left
I play their music on the golf course and it always gets the vibes up! Please keep making music and touring... I missed you guys in Fayetteville AR this last go.
This is one of the best bands ever it would be a waste if they dont release a kickass new record cuz they still got it
I've seen these guys a couple times. I love them and i believe they haven't written a single bad song
PLEASE LET THERE BE A NEW ALBUM.
Ps i was at thats tour 3 times. 1st concert ever was you guys in Ypsilanti MI when move along jst dropped
Wow that was a really amazing episode hopefully they will be back with a 5th album
My 2 favoritw opposite music groups are AAR and BTNH, both humble through their whole career and stuck together for the most part as brothers in music.
Awesome fun interview, love it
Honestly he looks still amazing
I remember listening to gives you hell in the 5th grade and I was hooked on them immediately.
Awesome interview! The band I play in got to open for them this year on 3 military bases. They were super kind, funny, and humble guys. Just like you see on this video 👍
Yes please

Legends. Always Loved this band.
Glad to hear that they're doing dates at least :D
Fun fact: Tyson played a "jock" in the film "house bunny"
Amazing interview! Love this band
Just need to get OG anberlin back together!
I really hope they aren’t done. They’ve got something so special and the live shows and albums never got worse.
He went out in the crowd at Durant and may have almost had my hand taken off by the cord 😂
subscribed cuz if you have more bands on like this im in!
I love All American rejects 💥 my favorite song it's dirty little secret 🎉
as a Red Jumpsuit Apparatus fan I just want to say... I love their songs grown up the only song I like is Move Along
Would be cool if AAR went more in the indie punk direction. Their cover of Flagpole Sitta was pretty sick to be honest. I'll always love AAR but I don't think I'd care much if they release another emo album at this point in my life.
Man Tyson looks good
Why aren't they talking about The Blue album or same girl new songs???? That's so wild
AAR FOREVER!

Bro I always wondered where they went. Sad but understandable but like fuck I’d switch live in a heart beat.

the subtle call out of all time low lol
Humperdoo!!!
Please come to cleveland ohio!
Tyson hating his own music is a bad sign of ever getting new music out.
Alright where’s some new music then all this talk. I wanna see the growth
First comment!!
I was at that Tampa show last year and it definitely was a shit show, to no fault of the bands. The sound guys didn’t have their shit figured out
Bro look like a skinny Joe Flacco.
This guy is terrible. Like he’s interviewing a band he doesn’t know.?
I cannot believe that the show put “Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger in the title as if it was an AAR song 🤣 Y’all need new staff after that one, chief… Big oof lmao
Watching the live reaction as the lead singer speaks is priceless 😂
This band could have owned Pop/pop-punk if the singer could keep clean for 5 mins. Every show was a strung out train wreck.
lol except he's a known straight edge vegan like Jared Leto. Rock stars can be eccentric without being on drugs, what a concept.
fire. I bought their Hal Leonard Tab Books from Guitar Center back in like 07. Lots of half-step down tuning stuff. Lots of stuff where GTR 1 and GTR 2 are tuned different aswell.
