You Know You're Right is Nirvana's best song, imo. It's the last thing Kurt recorded, and was released after his death. It predicts very well, his plan and demise. Many of his songs did that, but this one did it best. It was his Farewell to the world
Puddle of Mudd was the post grunge era with bands like Creed, Korn, and Staind. Probably the biggest bands to find success immediately post grunge.
Great memory! I recall loving Staind but I don't recall the song lol. My memory isn't as great as yours🤣
@@evangelina3541 Don't know most of Staind's library but the songs I like from them are "So Far Away", "Epiphany" and "Fade" in that order.
@@NaturalMystic69 thank you 👍
I wouldn't really put Korn in that list because of them coming out nearly a decade before P.O.M. and of a completely different genre lol.
@@NaturalMystic69 I few hidden album gems are is “warm safe place,” “reality”, and “please”(live Aaron Lewis version is better)
This song used to make me cry when I dropped off my kids after a nasty divorce from my ex---I used to literally weep when I heard these lyrics but I loved the song so much...deep pain and deep resolve--they were 6 and 4...OOF that hurt
Same here. ❤
Been there.
That's deep. I can relate
You too, huh?
Dont'cha just LOVE "family courts" in the U.S. ...?! 😒
high quality niggas will do that to you lmfaooo
I agree with others that you need to check out “She Hates Me”, but not only that, be sure to check out “Control” and “Drift & Die”. IMO they are even better than “She Hates Me”.
What I love about Puddle of Mudd is not just the songwriting and the lead singer’s voice (Wes Scantlin), but the band’s use of harmony at key points in many of their songs. It’s often a subtle but awesome touch.
Drift and die is such an underrated song.
Probably the best Puddle of Mudd song. I never skip it. Great harmonies and dynamics..it's good music.
why are all sad songs are beautiful to hear? it's sad but you love to hear it over and over again until you're going to cry..
If you ever decide to listen to this song again, it's a song to his son after he and his wife divorced. Adds another layer to it.
"Control" was their coming out party. Great energy song. Drift and die was good. Lead singer has had his issues. Too bad.
I agree, I love the “Control” video!
You’ll have to check out “She hates me”. I think you’ll laugh and also love the riffs
Great song. Love the video. I watched it a lot, going through my divorce. I went from being a stay at home dad to being on the short end of a custody situation. I once went almost 6 months without seeing my kids. I missed them so much! Was in tears everytime watching the Puddle of Mud video of this song. Still gives me chills and tears. 😭😭
Ive gone through a divorce too. We had 10 kids....my wife and I split in 2012. Its June 18th of 2023 and I havent seen my two youngest (my two little girls) since that time. Over 10 years and I havent seen my two youngest.
I know your pain my friend.
I know your pain gentleman. Men just get crucified and alienated from the children because of false accusations and fake tears by the ex just to get her way. The emotional pain is real and it's like the best opportunity for the enemy (ex) to utterly destroy men.
Dude you’re comment hurt me to the core man, I never want to feel that pain. 😢
I really loved this album. It had some killer tracks.
Could honestly listen to whole album reaction of this!
It was my fave album for about a year and a half
This is song is about the lead singer was in Europe doing a tour and his wife called him and told him im going to take my son, dog and etc so he is singing about his son
Love the vids. You might like Mad Season - River of Deceit. Especially if you like Alice In Chains. :)
I think you would love ZZ Top's Bluejean Blues but I don't have the $$ to get your attention. Thanks for the entertainment!
Much respect, Sir! I hope your channel keeps thriving! Please check out some Seether. Similar vibe, but a little harder.
This tune is the only reason to know ANYTHING about Puddle of Mudd.
Hurt makes great art.
This song was popular right when I’d broken up with my first girlfriend. This used to make me tear up every time I heard it, but I couldn’t stop listening to it!
This song came out around the time I lost a good friend in a car accident and this song reminds me of her. Can’t believe it’s been over 20 years.
I lost my best friend to a drunk driver who sped through a red light going 70mph and ramming into his driver door on December 16th, 2007. I found out at 5:28pm, it was a cold, dark Monday evening. It's forever etched into my soul. In a few years, it'll be 20 years for me as well. It feels like just a few years ago, like time froze, and never let me go. I felt your comment, and I hope you've copped better with your loss than I have mine. God bless.
I read that Wes wrote this song about his son
Damn that took me back. Thank you polo. You make a bigger impact than I think you'll ever realize for some people. Keep it up, you're getting the fam the big crib! Love!
I understand why you're just listening to the track but you really should have included the music video also. It's a perfect 2000s style portrayal of a broken home. It's honestly bone chilling how similar it was to my situation at the time.
Oh this takes me back, love this song. Reminds me of the Staind, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Slipknot days 🖤
Every day is slipknot day my friend
@@leeb907 standard! Although I haven’t listened to them much the last couple years. But my partner and boys love them! 🖤
This song will forever be connected to my unwaivering love for my son, my only child.
If you like his voice you would also like Stone Temple Pilots. You would dig "Vaseline".
One of my favorites! Love Puddle of Mud! Try Aaron Lewis!
Polo, I truly hope that that all your dreams and aspirations come true and fruition! Loved your intro into this video! Stay strong, my brother, and peace be with you and yours! Amen
Try Oleander- I Walk Alone or Champion.
Hands off the Wheel has been on my playlist since it's release! 🤘
Love puddle is mud... especially this one❤❤❤
Their heir lead singer, Gord Downie passed in 2015 or 2016 of incurable brain cancer, but he’s a gifted genious
Gord Downie wasn't in Puddle of Mudd but in The Tragically Hip. Puddle of Mudd's singer is Wes Scantlin
@@Tony-ih1pg see below, i been asking polo to check out The Hip forever now. That’s who i was referring to
This was on my playlist back in the day. Loved the drive and harmony. My second favorite song from this album was Never Change.
Puddle of Mudd. Vertical Horizon. Lit. Candlebox. Fuel. Filter. Gin Blossoms. Incubus. 🤘🏽
Yes good sir this is grunge. I listen to everything…hip hop (not the mumble rap, can’t identify with it if I can’t understand the words), movie scores, you name it. Music is universal, and I was in the gig economy long before it was a thing. So bring in a different office every day, being a black woman, music helped me fit in, everywhere.
Have you done Alice In Chains? Heaven Beside You is my jam!
I once sung it from the backseat of a friends car (not to him, just singing while a group of us were headed somewhere), dude still has yet to get over it. Lol! That day started out him not knowing my name, now he can’t forget my name. Music=Power. And with great power…..
Great song! You should check out Candlebox far behind next:-)
It is mind-blowing that you were recommended this song instead of their biggest hit "about a girl". It is by far their most memorable and iconic performance, you won't forget it.
👀
😂
Like a shoue!!! I doooo
Puddle of Mudd were incredible live and sounded like their lp. Have been to many concerts and love it when the band shows us just how talented they truly are and left us wanting more. The band has the best Roadies who tossed us beer from onstage. Great band and i just saw theyre touring now. ❤
One lf the greatest songs of all time. As a songwriter, its what every one of us are chasing. Lightning in a bottle song.
You should definitely listen and review Street of Dreams by the great band Rainbow with Joe Lynne Turner as lead LEAD singer!!!! It's the best rock,visionary song out there,,,up with Don't Fear the Reaper!!!! Annie
Hello Polo! This song is one of the first song I have listened to unexpectedly in 200. Back in the Philippines. That was only 70 pesos per CD it has POD, Linkin Park and Puddle of Mudd and Incubus and more. ❤🎉 tHis means a lot hope because of this you get your Mom a House and Lot. ❤🎉
Yeah, cool song.
I hope you make that money back. Eesh! 😬
I would do it but I don’t want the exposure.
Drift & Die next please!!!!🔥🔥
That is a fantastic song!!!
Do them in order, makes more sense!
I would love to see more Nirvana, Korn, Alice In Chains and bands like that. Amazing work that would be cool reactions!
I think his voice resembles Curt's but sounds wayyyy better.
I have been watching you for a while and really enjoy your reactions. When it originally came out I remember it being classified as "grunge ". After this successful album the lead singer had some problems. I can totally relate to your "nasally" singing comment. Usually not something I enjoy but really liked this.
Third line in. When he says "every thing is so messed up". In the uncensored version he says "every thing is so fucked up".
When this song came out the internet was new so all we had was Napster. I downloaded it and it is still played from a burned cd in my truck .
I don't know the whole story, but from what I understand, this lead singer had a hard time of it, and then they were gone. I do know that the media touted him as the next Kurt Cobian, so maybe that was a lot to live up to.. anyway.. I appreciate this song a lot more today than when they were playing it every half hour on the radio 🙂👍
Wes has had a lot of self inflicted legal problems. Lots of DUI's. He lost his house and harassed the new owners for months claiming that it was still his house. Really sad way things turned out for him.
@@rhigh100 I thought it was some kind of 'life falling apart' type stuff :/
It's what they call post-grunge. It's a perfect mix of post-grunge and the great Oasis. The Oasis part I reference is that Noel Gallagher loved to simply repeat the same verse lyrics, with maybe a slight change at most (Live Forever is a good example). If Krist and Dave ever wanted to do a Nirvana show Wes would be the first guy I would think of to sing Kurt's parts. They'd never do that and Kurt would probably hate this band so there's that. Kurt was a bit pretentious.
I love Oasis❤️
@@leftychell One of the greatest bands ever.
I could be wrong but i think he wrote this about his son and his Ex. Maybe someone can confirm?
Please check out the Tragically hip… this is my last on this subject 🍻✌️
3 doors down - kryptonite.
Bush - glycerine 👌
Hell no
7 Mary 3, Cumbersome
This is a painful song.Had a very similar experience
You should see him cover Nirvana about a girl. It’s hilarious
Reminds me of my 23 yr old nephew that passed from heroin addiction he’d be 27 now.. my angel and will remain..
He had some mental issues
This song has been in my playlist for a long while. I just recently found their album ''Re:(Disc)Overed", a compilation of covers of classic/famous rock tunes. Quite good.
Brother, if you are not using your voice to make money you messed up! Radio, movie voice, you got da pipes man! Do you sing?? LOL EPIC voice ! And I Love your reactions...even tho at times you go places I don't care to go...Few react to POM, I haven't even listened in ages, was kinda like there for a sec then was just, oh, that was cool...but I am older so....lol
I'm one of those people who's not a fan of his own voice. That's why I mess up on edits because I rarely listen to the whole video 😂
2:43 Hey, no matter what you compare something to, musically, someone's gonna give you a hard time in the comments... I'm more interested in your honest opinions and associations! I had never thought of this having a Kurt Cobain vibe! ❤
Minor nitpick: The band's name is "Puddle of Mudd" (two 'd's). The video for this is also pretty good.
I have always loved all genres of music I absolutely LOVE seeing ppl open their minds to other genres
Puddle of Mudd is defiantly one of my favorite bands out there with this being their best song! Great to see others giving this track some love. I suggest you also check out another band called "Here Come The Mummies" with great songs like Dirty Minds, Pants, or Single Entendre!
I love this song! 😍 I'm usually a R&B and pop music fan (especially hits from the 1970s to early 2000s), but this fondly reminds me of when I worked on campus as a university student and my boss played the soft rock radio station in the office a couple times a week.
This reminds me of great times, when my kids were young. My older kids are in their 30's now, but I remember playing this CD in the truck with them when they were back in middle school.
Love Puddle of Mudd! Thanks for the reaction!
U should react to “She Hates Me” by Puddle of Mudd as well 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I’m not a Canadian, but that don’t matter, they have many great songs over 15 plus years, and he is Canadian royalty, check em out bud!
Polo, love your reactions, this one included… beggin my fav reactors to please react to ‘locked in the trunk of a car’ by ‘the tragically hip’, probly Canadas most well loved band, and.
Puddle of Mudd is an American rock band formed in Kansas City, Missouri in 1992. To date, the band has sold over seven million albums and has had a string of No. 1 mainstream rock singles in the United States. Wes Scantlin (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Jimmy Allen (lead guitar), Sean Sammon (bass), and Kenny Burkitt (drums).
According to Scantlin, the band name was inspired by practicing next to the Missouri river levee. In order to get to their practice space, the band "had to walk through a pile of shit (Mud). Wes Scantlin wrote "Blurry" about his desire to be a good dad to his son Jordan, and how he was missing his friends and family. Lyrics below:
Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty and everything is so messed up
Preoccupied without you, I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you, I stumble and I crawl
You could be my someone, you could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you from all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doing, imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us, but that's not very far
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
Everyone is changing, there's no one left that's real
So make up your own ending and let me know just how you feel
'Cause I am lost without you, I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you, I stumble then I crawl
You could be my someone, you could be my scene
You know that I will save you from all of the unclean
I wonder what you're doing, I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us, but that's not very far
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Nobo-, nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you when to run away
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you when to run away
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me, no
This pain you gave to me
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all, take it all away?
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
This pain you gave to me
This is a good one. He's usually just whining about his mommy not being there.
Puddle of Mud was good. They just fell off.
I liked what you said, and how you said it! Blessings!
Yeah, the first time I heard this band, I thought it was a Nirvana song I hadn't heard yet. But it was a different song.
I may not know exactly what style of music this is classified as, but I think it is under Nu-metal like Korn or Linkin Park. No expert though on that genre. And most of those bands under that moniker don't like the category typically. Great reaction as usual.
Polo, love you brother! Let's go back in time when you get a chance. Saxon, Accept, UFO, Dream Theater. Think you will enjoy all of them
This song and Tantric's In the Mourning were songs that were a 2 hit combo that forced out the tears when I was going through my divorce and i needed to allow myself to feel something.
Makes me cry every single time I listen to this
All the comments say what I wanted to say
Prefer post grunge over grunge any day.
Thanks for the reaction Polo! Puddle of Mudd's debut album produced several hits, which are mentioned below... Their songs seem to bring everyday experiences to the forefront. Lyrics hit home, with excellent music along for the ride. Drift & Die is similar to Blurry, but for some just plain FUN, try She Hates Me! Talk about REAL life!! Take Care...
Bro! You definitely need to check out their acoustic cover of Nirvana’s “About a Girl” ABSOLUTELY SMOKES Nirvana’s original. Just do it and thank me later. It’s GODLIKE!!!
My favorite song by them is. If I Saw You Dancing, I'd Spin You Around. Broke my tailbone dancing to that song.
Thank you for reacting to this song!
Another amazing song that'd be awesome for you to check out is Outside by Staind. Now, the version you want is his live performance with Fred Durst. Fred is a friend of the lead singer's, and he said if you do your new song, I'll come on with you. Now, the lead singer for Staind, he didn't HAVE the song. All he had was a chorus and the rhythm. It was ALL IMPROVIZED on stage, and later enhanced and more words added for the studio release. For him to sing on the spot a full song is incredible!!
Hard video to watch if your a single parent. 🥺
The song tho... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Maybe post Grunge?? Have Staind and POM in same cat.
"SHE HATES ME" next please.
Loved your intro today...❤
May your dreams/aspirations be delivered. 😊
This is more of a post grunge band than actual grunge, meaning they have been inspired by grunge. Even the way this song ends is reminiscent of Pearl Jam's Jeremy. The singer is highly influenced by Kurt Cobain. Another good song by Puddle of Mud is Control
Yeah, once every piece of novelty could be wrenched from grunge and post grunge, you get POM. And it sounds FREAKIN GREAT! Basically an edgy Nickleback. 😂. At time time, you deny listening to POM, but you indeed listened on the DL. 😂. Too much fun.
Happy fuckin' Father's day.....
This is basically my theme song. *sigh*
… Proof that they’re almost a carbon copy of everything musical before them!!!, and unoriginally, Lincoln Park.
I grew up in the hood... Nothing but rap and hip hop until I got to high school and my buddy opened up my world by buying me the smashing pumpkins entire discography in the late 90's... You seem to have a very similar taste to my own with a similar musical journey... You'd prolly like 3 doors down - duck and run...or pendulum - tempest.... Jesus, there are way too many bands and music so long as you are doing what you've been doing and not limiting yourself to just one branch of rock music... I'm literally all over the rock spectrum...I love everything from stuff rock purists consider "soft" all the way to music they'd consider too heavy...
Obligatory viewing Cracked Puddle of Mudd video: ruclips.net/video/KU9CLiWL_ig/видео.html
🤘🏻😍💭
Wes Scantlin wrote this song about missing his son when Wes had to leave him in Kansas while he flew to california to record his music for the first time ❤
Sounds like Kurt Cobain for sure, he looks like him too...You would also really like Drift and Die. It's great songwriting and really nice song.
Fresh new sub here. Small request, ✔ out a New Zealand 🇳🇿 band called Like a Storm...Become the enemy, Love the way you hate me or The Devil inside 🔥🤘😤
Never my favorite band from the era. This is a good song and they've got a couple other decent ones, but they were always a little dull. They're an absolute trainwreck of a band now, they did a cover on Sirius that was so bad that they had to take it off of their streaming.
They kinda fall in the Nickelback category for me. Like, a couple decent songs but just nothing amazing. Just very vanilla rock mostly, radio friendly, kinda boring.
Great reaction!!! Thanks for what you do!
Cover old rap..
Sir Mix-a-lot "Possess on Broadway" and Ice Cube "Gotta say, today was a good Day."
Another great track from this era would be "Lips Of An Angel" by Hinder...
Damn that comparison to kurt was quick. The lead singer of limp bizkit signed puddle of mudd because of how much he could sound like cobain. And because of that, their fame didnt last too long
I absolutely love Puddle of Mud, but there are so many more amazing songs. Like Heel over head or Away from me. I guess this is the iconic one but they have so many others. I wish this wasn’t all a lot of people know them for.
I am a big fan of this album and POM - the singer comes off a little whiney and douchey in the videos but I don't take it seriously - the music however is SOLID. Not even close to their best song
I remember when I was 17 when this song came out in 2001. I knew the song was about his girl who did some shady shit, and he was confused and mad about the situation, but when I finally saw the music video a few months later, on mtv. The music video threw a twist. I didn't think that the song would be about his son and his baby momma. Made the song better and more emotional....u should check it out if you haven't seen it yet.
