Hello Chris. If there's any information I got wrong in the video I implore you to let me know. Despite my feelings towards your previous behavior, I did end up enjoying some of the music I listened to, and I strived to be as fair and in depth as possible in terms of telling your band's story
Very good video! was researching for my very own video on trapt and came across this and it was super useful! Going to give you credits because this was more useful than any other video or article I could find.
Fantastic video. You really took your time, did your research, and genuinely concerned yourself with providing a well rounded and fair perspective into this tumultuous band, despite them being unworthy of your attention. I've listened to their self titled album for over a decade because it has the sentimental/nostalgic sound that I enjoy. I've never looked into the band so to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. Thanks for the great video!
I like a few of their songs from their albums, it’s too bad that he couldn’t keep his big mouth shut and his opinions to himself, it pains me in a way that Trapt was a part of my music journey into rock music and eventually getting me to like heavier music as a Teenager, I’ll still jam to a handful of Trapt songs every now and then but this whole situation with the lead singer is just sad and I don’t agree with most of the dudes takes either, man 2020 was a fever dream there was definitely something in the water
Trapts tweet about being in the Tony hawk game wasn’t photoshopped he tweeted that. He was lying on purpose and going along with it just for attention lol
I found no evidence for the tweet being real in my research, and I kind of doubt its real based on the tweets wording. If you have a source for this information it would be greatly appreciated
Great retrospective of the band and it's subsequent downfall. You know you're doing something right when the very band in question comments on your video. Which, in my mind, is both an accomplishment all in itself, to get the attention of a globally known and recognized band. But also, further proves that any disparaging thoughts or options derived by the video are factually true. Proof of this? The context of Chris's low-brow comment he left on this video lol Some people just can't get out of their own way... Once again, great video.
Honestly, I can't decide between either Trapt or Puddle Of Mudd having the largest downfall in Modern Rock history. I guess Trapt wins out by default since Wes Scantlin is smart enough to not share his politics or engage with random trolls on the internet, But at the same time Puddle Of Mudd was a far bigger band than Trapt were and have degraded in quality so bad that you just have to wonder wtf happened and who allowed it. Like at least with Trapt for as bland as their music is, You can't really argue that they degraded in quality much and Chris Taylor Brown doesn't sound like he strains everytime he sings. But with Puddle Of Mudd it's the total opposite, Their comeback album "Welcome To Galvania" wasn't that bad (Though it was noticeably worse in production than previous releases) and it did produce a Top 10 Mainstream Rock hit in "Uh Oh", But their most recent album "Ubiquitous" is nothing short of a complete disaster. A bunch of demos lazily stitched together and thrown out with zero polish. Idk if you've considered it or not but Puddle Of Mudd would be an interesting rabbit hole to dive into, It's basically never ending.
Nice to see you again! Trapt easily. People still regard Come Clean well. Now especially with that huge Creed comeback going on. If Wes can just make one solid album again, I think they can make a proper comeback. They have the name power. Trapt was a nonfactor before the social media meltdown. There's nothing left to go back to
Ive always loved trapt. Their latest album just sounded washed out and it was hard to hear the music. It seems like it just needed some more time in production.
Trapt was a guilty pleasure of mine up until 2017 or so. It was always something that didn't require a ton of engagement but was easy enough to come in and out of. Bummer that Chris doubled down on his views, such a waste. That being said, former guitarist Robb Torres formed a band called Robbery Inc which is fan-fucking-tastic! Hard Rock/Blues vibes.
Nooooooo I'm scared to watch this lol. As a queer woman of color who LOVED Trapt's first two albums to DEATH. They're the band that got me into rock/metal and I hold those albums as a special nostalgic treat. How bad is it? lol Is this gonna take ANOTHER good thing away for me? 😭😤 ugh
The bass player Pete Charell seems to be the only remaining original member other than CTB but he's never commented on any of the controversy. Is he just doing it for the little amount of money they get or is he as bigoted and insane as CTB, just more quiet about it?
I could've sworn that so much of what you said about Trapt's sophomore record was the same as what you said about Smash Mouth's self-titled... was this intentional??
I actually really love Trapt, I couldn’t pick a song of theirs that I don’t like at least a little bit. The lead singer speaks his mind and I can appreciate that even if I don’t agree, everyone’s got different opinions though. Nickelback is arguably way, way worse. The Trapt self titled album is completely overshadowed by its first track but I think this is one of my most favorite albums ever, I’d put it next to Read Music/Speak Spanish (Desaparecidos)and The Anti Mother (Norma Jean) in my top 3 albums of all time
In no way is Nickelback "way way" worse than Trapt. Maybe in terms of formula but at least they can write a hit. Shadow Work sold 600 copies in its first week and Trapt is opening for puppet shows now.
Fire, End of my rope, come together colab with an0maly are epic and they got a lot more and to start the vid with nickelback who has excelled tremendously aside from any hate both are incredible bands and music is expression so is free speech so to judge to band by a personal belief of the lead is ridiculous either like the music or don’t and move on while they rock on
Do you even know what "free speech" means??? It's means freedom from repercussions from the government. It DOES NOT mean freedom from other individuals from judging you for your absolute shit takes about the things you choose to do/say. The only "people" that think its "ridiculous" are their little fanboys who would be eager for their favorite band to line up to prolapse them. You live in a fantasy where no one should critique anything, especially the stuff you like.
If it wasn't for the depth of research in this video, I wouldn't be able to take it. These videos are well put together but he needs to pay a voice over guy imo
I don't care at all. I still like listening to their songs because I enjoy them. I don't give a damn about their political beliefs or their private lives.
Did this video go the way you wanted? 😂 do something with your life, man 🤦🏻♂️

Hello Trapt, I am your biggest fan. Please make conservative Gangnam Style.
Wah. Cry more Chris
This was an analysis, not a hit piece. It's actually quite honorable.
chris every time you reply to a bronze show video i edge to photos of you for 3 hours
Very good video! was researching for my very own video on trapt and came across this and it was super useful! Going to give you credits because this was more useful than any other video or article I could find.
looking forward to watching a two hour video about a band i've never heard of
Headstrong? Really? You would've heard them, even if you didn't hear of them
R u from another planet. If you ever listened to rock or was in that space you would know TRAPT.
@@NicksHEAT1995 I don't listen to rock
@@DrakeDragsaw well then that makes sense. I assumed u did. What do u listen to?
Don't feel bad, Ice T hadn't heard of them either before the "singer" tried picking a fight with him

Great documentary! Their first album is very nostalgic to me.
I JUST started back listening to trap a few days ago. Now I watch this and I'm like "nah". This band had so much potential, but got crushed by 1 man.
I like a few of their songs from their albums, it’s too bad that he couldn’t keep his big mouth shut and his opinions to himself, it pains me in a way that Trapt was a part of my music journey into rock music and eventually getting me to like heavier music as a Teenager, I’ll still jam to a handful of Trapt songs every now and then but this whole situation with the lead singer is just sad and I don’t agree with most of the dudes takes either, man 2020 was a fever dream there was definitely something in the water
I guessed it, It Was TRAPT
Great video. Very comprehensive.

Thank God he(presumably) didn't try to diss a titan like DGD. That would just be embarrassing

Trapt will genuinely comment on anything because of trashbag browns thin skin.
Your research is amazing!

How do you not mention that Puddle of Mudd was taken down by a horrific attempt to cover a Nirvana song? Absolutely unlistenable.
I had this CD many moons ago and I heard their song on the radio yesterday. I completely forgot about them so here I am seeing what happened.
How long till he threatens to sue you too lmao
Head strong I’ll take you on💪💪💪💪
Good video, man. You have a new subscriber here. Trapt makes Nickelback sound like Led Zeppelin.
Why do I feel like the narrator is a cat that got turned into a human
Ive always loved trapt. Their latest album just sounded washed out and it was hard to hear the music. It seems like it just needed some more time in production.
"TRAPT #1 on Pandora" never fails to make me chuckle considering how dead Pandora is nowadays.

Imagine typing like this
@@dog8668 I did 🙂 are you scarred, lil snowflake? Everyone likes girl on girl unless it’s not for their viewing pleasure 🙄
There frist album the one before the album with headstrong?
Their self titled album is sooo good, I still listen to it to this day. One of my favorite albums def top 10 fr
I still listen to Headstrong and Echo lol. Greats songs
I cannot take this band seriously at all 😭☠️
I always was into alternative scene as a whole but these dudes always flew over my playlist. Heard the name but never the songs.
Really almost 2hrs? I couldve done all this is 30 mins
Do it then 🤷🏻♂️
@@dkm4567 done

I may have intentionally written in as many connections between them as possible into the video
They're not more "hated" than a Limp Bizkit or a Nickelback.
Only because those two bands were massively more successful.
I’ve never heard of this band but I’ll settle in for 2 hours of drama about them.
I actually really love Trapt, I couldn’t pick a song of theirs that I don’t like at least a little bit.

Jesus christ dude. You have terrible terrbile taste in music.
"top 3 albums of all time" lmfao!!!
CTB, is that you?
In no way is Nickelback "way way" worse than Trapt. Maybe in terms of formula but at least they can write a hit. Shadow Work sold 600 copies in its first week and Trapt is opening for puppet shows now.
The dude tried picking a fight with Ice T😂
I like some of their songs but I've alwas seen them as a store brand Breaking Benjamin.
Creed , trapt and nickelback lol but all 3 have good music
Trapt doesn't have good music
@@HattieJosh troll
@@mlinger18 no I'm being serious I do not like Trapt even as a fan of the genres they get grouped in
Have the same opinion great music
And they all sold over 4 million albums
This review is incredibly boring... whatever...

I love Trapt. So many amazing memories listening to them. Im sure alot of people agree but sided with there own politics instead
Wrong
@@jayko4703he ain't wrong yall are sheep who love to follow trends. you're a trend bitch a follower a beta male.😂
@@jayko4703 yeah, you’re wrong.
If this was about politics, explain Kid Rock whose family literally knows Trump and Trump put a post on Truth social when KR's dad died
So many amazing memories of what? Punching holes in dry wall and date r*pe? Loser

He's not getting out of this one, the band is over. No matter what he says from hereon, he's TRAPT.
I'm sorry.
Wtf I love Trapt now Trapt 4ever!!!!!

@@thomassschwarz5998 His content made me not even notice the speech impediment after awhile.
Amalgamation came out in 98, and was their debut album.
Sonic Spinball music lol

BRONZE ARMY ASSEMBLE!
I don't care at all. I still like listening to their songs because I enjoy them. I don't give a damn about their political beliefs or their private lives.
🤡
Great band a lot of great songs
I love TRAPT!
Bull shit,nothing wrong with Trapt
Yea, ok.
If you don’t like a music band doesn’t mean everyone should not enjoy them
I never said anything remotely like this in the video
Nowhere near the most hated band.. Wow terrible job.

Hey now let's be respectful Chris has done some bad things but there's no need to call him names like that
Who Cares
🤡
My brothers are in Trapt ! Amazing men that tell the truth ! Don't like it listen to Justin Bieber
wake up
Average trapt fan
I bet they are lmao
I'll take things that aren't real for $100 Alex....
It's always Bieber on the minds of these weirdos.
Trapt is fucking awesome
