i freekin LOVED our lady peace, lol. i printed out hella pixelly pictures of them from the internet on my moms printer and hung them on the walls! 😂 this was a wonderful vid, and now im gonna go listen to supermans dead.
Blast from the past! OLP was one of my favorite bands and my first-ever rock concert. I’d love to see an RNRTS on Serial Joe if there’s any information out there. Thanks for sharing!
man, I forgotten more good music than I can even remember, the 90s were amazingly insane. I appreciate your videos dude, ima jam these dudes today, good memories. ✌️💚 from the middle of W.V.
I won tickets off the radio in Cleveland back in '94 or '95 to see Candlebox & Sponge. Got to the venue and there were flyers posted up ssying that the opener, Seaweed, had to cancel, so OLP would be filling in. Still one of my all time favorite concerts I've ever been to
They were the first band I ever saw live. Probably my first favourite band. I was obsessed with their first 3 records as a young fella. Even the 4th had some great tracks. Too bad Maida lost his singing voice. The show I saw a couple of years ago was painful to behold. They will always be special to me.
As a kid I remember liking the Naveed album, but it wasn't until I was a teen and Clumsy came out, that it changed everything about the band for me. To this day they are my favourite canadian band
The X club in Hamilton and the Mel Lastman's Square in Toronto for New Years. Loved seeing these guys in the small venues in the mid 90's . They are still in every playlist. Thanks P. Toyne!
Going to see Our Lady Peace tonight! I love their first 5 albums, but obviously Naveed is head and shoulders the best. I played Happiness.. on a loop back in 2000.
I remember hearing ‘Starseed” on the radio, blew me away! I went right out and bought ‘Naveed’ and became a fan. Such a great album. Saw them in a small club. Great show!
I will never forget the first time I heard them . I was in Denver in Technical School and we had a day where we're supposed to pick a song that sets a mood and explain why it does. I heard "Somewhere Out There" and it was amazing.
OLP is one of my top fave bands and their secret why they go so popular is not secret.... they make good music paired with incredible lyrics all wrapped up in a unique sound. That combination is what makes any OLP song stand the test of time. That's is the real reason they are where they are, still touring, still putting out records out while many of the bands that risen along side OLP are nowhere to be seen, split or simply forgotten to time.
I’m glad you covered our lady peace. I remember when there song whatever was the theme of Chris Benoit. The cool part is that the band and the wrestler are both Canadian.
I loved OLP. I went to a tonne of festival shows in the 90’s and saw them about 5 different times. I also had a pen pal at the time from Australia so we would exchange music. I sent him some OLP and he loved it as well.
I worked for an alt rock radio station when these guys were at their peak and I ended up doing grip work for them when they played our station's Chinese New Year show. The guitarist, Mike was incredible. He was there telling me jokes while he was in the middle of playing songs. True talent there.
When musicians are talking while playing that's not talent, that's a lack of passion and commitment. It's basically saying they'd rather chat with a roadie than engage the audience.
I got to see back to back van halen shows in toronto a lifetime ago, and olp were opening for them…i became a real fan that night i saw them…they were so good!
Nice video! I found out about them from a secret code on a playstation Demo disc and it was the song and music video for Clumsy. I thought it was a cool song to be on a playstion demo disc / music video.
My best friend had a subscription to Rock Video Monthly or whatever it was called, where they would literally mail out hour long VHS tapes full of music videos. That was how I heard of both Everclear (Fire Maple Song) & Our Lady Peace (Naveed) long before they really broke big in the states with Everclear's Santa Monica & Our Lady Peace's sophomore album as well. Prior to that, their stuff never got played on alt rock radio near us, & we lived near 2 pretty decent scenes in Athens & Atlanta GA with big rock stations.
Thanks to MuchMusic when they aired it here in the US I was introduced to Our Lady Peace more than the US had shown and became a bigger fan of theirs due to it 🤘🏻
I remember when my buddy in central ontario brought a copy of Naveed over to my house. His parents were divorced, his Dad lived in Toronto, heard them and turned Ian onto them. The first time we heard the title track we were hooked. First two albums were killer, a little hit and miss beyond that.
I recall hearing a few of their songs in Los Angeles at the time, but moving back to Michigan, specifically right near the border, they got a lot more play from stations originating in both countries.
I definitely taped clumsy off the radio 107.7 the end on my hand me down tape radio record player. Was on a cassette with greenday and some other tracks I loved growing up I must have been like in 8th grade maybe
This is a great point. I’ve done similar style stories on 311 and no doubt. I purposely do this because to sit down and write a full history on a band with a long career and lots of albums takes a lot of time. So I will be definitely revisiting them and finishing off the rest of their discography but it just makes it easier from content creation and research part
@@rnrtruestories a surprising number of 90s bands are still out there producing good, new music. Counting Crows is the one that always springs to mind for me.
I just saw them last week as a free show at Regina’s exhibition. Raine Maida’s voice isn’t what it used to be but dammit they had a crowd of about 1000 people outdoors rocking. Fantastic show and it was a treat to see them love again. 👍
They were the first band I ever saw in concert, probably in 1996. I still remember how shocked I was at how poorly he sang, it was alarming. They did not sound great live at all.
As a Canadian teen in the ‘90s, I loved this band. They were great addition to all the killer post-grunge happening at the time. Finally got to see them, opening for G’N’R in 2017. They did not disappoint.
I was 18 when they dropped the clumsy album and the radio station first played Superman's Dead, Clumsy and Automatic Flowers every day here in East Tennessee. I bought and still have that very same CD in the CD case and it plays every single song somehow. I didn't even know that they had a previous album until over 10 years later I thought clumsy was the first one.
Surprising to hear Our Lady Peace is so big in Canada because they aren't all that big in the US. I mean, they had a moment or two in the late 90s but it wasn't that big
OLP prior to Gravity and firing Turner is one of my favorite bands. Naveed, Clumsy, Happiness, and Spiritual Machines are among my favorite albums. They never sounded the same after they fired Turner. Objectively, he was not a good guitar player, but he was bad in a very unique way. He was so bad that he was good, lol. His playing, along with Maida's unhinged vocals. are what gave them such a unique and off beat sound. They weren't the same without him. I'm really glad they have started working with him again. I miss the early stuff. Now, they just sound like anything else you hear on the radio. They are almost a pop band.
That as wild man. Treble Charger was big in Ont in the late 90s amd early 00s, so a bunch of us crossed the border to see them in Buffalo and they were nobody’s. We drank beer with them in the beer tent. Cool you guys follow some Canadian bands. The Hip? The Odds? Wide Mouth Mason?
I didn't know you were from Alberta as well! I discovered OLP while listening to Lethrbridge's Rock station, I think it was the Bridge or something in 1995 after hearing Supersatelite. I'll have to watch your Big Shiny Tunes video now.
Hey another Florida person. I saw them in Lighthouse Point, then Pompano Beach. Then Boynton Beach & then West Palm Beach. I moved to the West Coast now near the Gulf of Mexico so I see shows in Tampa. Just saw The Cure for the 10th time last October. It was inside, not at the outside park. Amelie Arena.
I loved the Clumsy album here in the US. I remember discussing the lyrics of Superman’s Dead with someone in college and he mentioned “the world’s a subway” was taken from a poet or philosopher Not sure if it’s true and I couldn’t remember the poet 😂
Naveed clumsy happiness and spiritual machines were all excellent albums and great for us youth during that time. I remember lazy out of school summers listening to spiritual machines wit my buddies and being 12 year kid when first hearin supermans dead and immediately feeling like I was a ‘teenager’ now with my buddies ditching our toys and beginning the moody broody years of youth lol
RE the "dark optimism": Fun fact: the entire reason I became of fan was because I bought Spiritual Machines on a whim (particularly for me - I lean way more pop than I care to admit and it became the heaviest thing I'd bought at that point) about 10 days before September 11, 2001 - and, my God, that album might have been the perfect antidote to that absolute frazzled day.
they told me SUPERMAN'S DEAD , maybe by a poisonous STARSEED that's SOMEWHERE OUT THERE in space , or he got CLUMSY and got beat by a ONE MAN ARMY , but it wasn't them ... they were all INNOCENT.
I can't believe it has been 30 years since Naveed and I remember hearing Starseed on radio stations in September 1994 and I was looking forward to more songs being added. Obviously, there were and I am happy with what I have heard, since then.
My son's middle name is Raine, which we selected due to Raine Maeda. My wife and I were pretty into OLP (and we are Muricans). I still love Spiritual Machines. Edit: since you are covering a Canadian act, could I suggest you cover Devin Townsend?
I think in hindsight i heard a few of their songs on the alt rock stations but when they did the song "whatever" for Chris Benoit in the wwe i then started listening to their catalog
Seen them 5-6 times. Living in Buffalo area is an extension of the Canadian music scene. Just wish they could write good stuff again. Heavyweight was the last song I liked
If it wasn't for my ex-wife, I would probably listen to them, but I was never really a fan. On a road trip, my ex played the same damn three songs on the clumsy CD. It was so bad that when we got home, I hid the CD and only found it a couple of years back and then I threw it out. I can't listen to them at all now. I switch the station if they come on.
The CRTC allowed for a lot of very mid 90s alt rock. Then record companies operating in Canada figured out instead of paying a bunch of mid bands, they can just pay drake and bieber and play them every 15 minutes. Is it better now? Hard to say.
@@rnrtruestories Great! Can't wait to see it. BTW, have you seen the trailer for the upcoming documentary (No Dress Rehearsal) about them? It will be a good one.
@@rnrtruestories All I know is that it will be premiered at TIFF. I guess it will be available for the wide audience at the end of this year (best case scenario).
I'll watch these American shows that feature the artists that were huge in the 90s but it's always lacking for me because I grew up in Canada and 90s music did include bands like Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Oasis, U2 and other international groups but didn't include the Can rock of the 90s; The Hip, OLP, IME, Moist The Philosopher Kings, Treble Charger, Gob and those bands. It's nice to relive the 90s that I remember.
Do you think our lady peace was the best Canadian alternative rock band to come out of the 90s?
For me that's Matthew Good Band.
Yes.
As a Canadian I couldn't stand them,BUM,Punchbuggy,Killjoys,Chixdiggit and The Doughboys were 1000x better.
I Feel Tea Party was better, just not as commercial
Nope. Never could stand that group.
MuchMusic definitely had a huge hand in making alot of Canadian artists popular.
Our Lady Peace is probably my favorite Canadian band next to rush. Criminally underrated and gets not enough attention
As a guy from the USA, I think they are great! Their album clumsy has a lot of great songs! 😁
i freekin LOVED our lady peace, lol. i printed out hella pixelly pictures of them from the internet on my moms printer and hung them on the walls! 😂 this was a wonderful vid, and now im gonna go listen to supermans dead.
I still know everyword to every song off of Clumsy. I actually had to buy a 2nd CD b/c I played the 1st one out.
Clumsy was a life changer for me
@@TheRaven8 I can still sing (not good) but I can still sing every song on Clumsy. I had to buy a 2nd CD.
That famous guitar intro to Chris benoit's theme
Yup
Everytime I hear the harmonic on that intro riff I think of Chris Benoit smashing people with his flying headbutt.
clumsy is one of the few albums that is good from start to finish. no skips at all. one of my all time favorites!
