New Found Glory Band • Page 39

Such an interesting music video lol.

 

Haha I liked it, but Failure's Not Flattering is what finally got me to pick up Catalyst.

 

Once I became a fan, I checked out their earlier stuff (including FTSTYS vol 1) and then I realized I had heard some of their covers before because they were mislabeled on Napster as being Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, haha.

 

I was HUGE on "My Friends Over You" and didn't like the rest of the album except for "The Great Houdini". I later learned I was wrong, the whole album bangs.

 

I always forget Dan and Matt do backing vocals on Forget My Name lol.

 

Anyone remember the Fuse block called "Loaded," where they'd play a half hour of one band's videos? That certainly helped me get into the band as well.

Usually we'd get Hit or Miss, Head On Collision, Downhill, Failure, and then they swapped in It's Not Your Fault when Coming Home came out.

 

Oh yes I do, I remember seeing blocks constantly of NFG or Sum 41.

 

2000...Napster. For big successful bands it’s was the worst thing ever. Fans bands looking for exposure, it gave them a chance to get into people’s ear they otherwise wouldn’t.

Also discovered another band, Yellowcard, the same way with One For The Kids.

 

Which guests are you referring to here?

 

After listening to Screen 3 my opinions are as follows:

Let It Go is phenomenal and I imagine would be incredible live.

Accidentally In Love is the worst track on here easily.

Having never heard the original This Is Me, you could tell me it was an NFG original and I'd believe you.

This whole album is great though

 

Is the bonus track Puzzles another cover or an original?

 

Disagree on Accidentally in Love. I'd put it above Cups, A Thousand Years, and Eye of the Tiger.

 

Demo for an original.

 

I remember MTV 2 was where I heard like New Found Glory, The Starting Line and Yellowcard and shit

 

I just feel it's too similar to the OG with the rock-y ness

 

I can see that for sure. Just such an enjoyable song though!

 

Don’t remember how I first heard them but it was during the S/T days and I’ve never stopped ever since. It was probably on a DTR sampler. But at the same time they were how I got into DTR so I don’t even know. But I don’t know where I’d be musically without em

 

Funny enough, I think Let It Go (while still very good) is the weakest, and Accidentally is probably top 3 for me.

 

A girl that I really really admired brought S&S to school during the first week of 8th grade. She played My Friends Over You on a stereo during history class because we were having an “express yourself” day so our teacher could kind of get to know all of us. Instantly fell in love, fucking RAN home after school to call my mom and begged her to buy me the CD from Target on her way home from work. She oddly just, like, agreed to do it for some reason lol.

I listened to it on repeat with door shut all night long while playing Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 lol. Won’t ever forget that night. Within maybe 2-3 months I knew the words to every song on that and all of their previous records, was compulsively quoting the TSSF DVD, and had become obsessed with Drive Thru Records.

I also worked up the courage to talk to that girl and we wound up becoming pretty good school friends. We were the same age but in a lot of ways she felt like the badass older sister I never had, haha. She introduced me to so much goddamn music that year and then we went to separate high schools and unfortunately never saw each other again.

 

Sherri and Max.

It’s just an obvious assumption, as none of us can speak for members, but I think it’s a fair to think such a thing.

 

I first heard/saw My Friends Over You music video while shopping in Target but didn't think much about it for years after. Then I found out they were playing a show at the small private college in the town I went to HS(this was during the recording/prerelease of Coming Home) and went because I knew they were a fairly big band and thought it'd be fun. After that show I bought Catalyst and fell in love

 

Duh, Forgot they were on Screen 2.

 

There’s something about Puzzles that keeps me from totally loving it, but I can’t really put my finger on it. By the transition from the Verses to chorus. I do love the chorus though

 

Woah so much to catch up on. But I’ll say that they could release future movie covers as 7” and that could satisfy the appetite.

 

Hit or Miss has to have been the first song I heard from them when they were “a new found glory.”

The girl I had a crush on liked them so I listened but hated that “they were trying to sound like blink.” (Like, what the fuck?)

Fell in love with them when I saw them live opening for blink right after 9/11 and mark played Sincerely Me with them. They were SO GOOD live!
