    I´m totally binging your content today, but in this one, I feel you totally left out their cover of the monkey´s hit: "I´m a believer". just sayin…

    unpopular opinion (maybe?? I dunno) but they had some slick tunes on 'Fush Yu Mang'. Never heard much from them outside their hits after that but I dug that album.
    Always felt like they got dogged too much when there was always waaaaay worse shit on the radio that ppl loved.

    Millennial black guy here. I don’t stand for racism, antisemitism, or reckless behavior especially when you’re a powerful person. But the media has blown his justified response to disrespectful fans, out of proportion.

    I love ya Steve, thanks for making me feel comfortable in my own skin as a kid!
    I saw a heavier goofy frontman and instantly saw parallels to myself, and was opened up to opportunities I never considered.
    You’ll never know how many souls you touched. Rest good brother, you won’t be forgotten❤

    Pretty sure Smash Mouth only tours with one original member. Believe it's the base player. Greg Camp was the primary songwriter for them on pretty much every album, and he hasn't been in the band for a while. Steve Harwell passed recently as we all are aware. It is just not coming back and that's alright. They'll be remembered for their hits and other album hidden gems. Definitely the memes too. So many memes.

    It's a much sadder story now that Steve Harwell has died of liver failure. It's always tragic when you're rooting for someone to turn their life around, and they don't do it in time, or their past decisions catch up with them. It reminds me way too much of a guy I knew who died of fentanyl. His best friend was getting sober, and maybe he would've followed, but then he just ran out of time. You never know when it's gonna happen. It's mostly a game of chance, and chance doesn't give you a deadline. You might not know you're fucked until it's too late.

    This shit makes me want to look deeper into my own life choices, too. My biggest addiction is just a pretty ordinary amount of junk food, but I don't want to bank on surviving a heart attack or living to an arbitrary age before I make a change, at which point it would be harder.

    By the way, Steve had a hell of a lot to deal with, so I'm not blaming him. I don't know him. Even him acting like an asshole on stage was understandable. It shouldn't have ended like this, though. I wish the best for his loved ones.

    I won’t act like I’ve been bumping smash mouth all these years but this is a staple early 2000s American band. Nostalgic asf. Nothing revolutionary, but era defining. RIP
