- COMING UP… one of the coolest stories you’ll ever hear about a #1 song… First of all the singer Brad Arnold wrote it when he was 15 in math class in about 10 minutes. Then he begged his local radio station to play it and then it was the most requested song on the station for months… then a few months later they were playing next to the giants of rocks… The story of Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down is so unbelievable you’ll think they made it up! The song went #1 on 3 different charts. Next this band tells the amazing story and I’ll tell you if you aren’t a fan You will be after this interview. Two of the nicest guys in all of music.

@@catherine6653 love that as well, but had to leave something out
These guys played a concert for the troops at the Navy Base in Bahrain. There were maybe 300-400 people and they played a bunch of songs, took requests, and hung out with us after they were done. Also had a huge box full of T-shirts they gave away... free. Great dudes.
If this was the same time they filmed the video on the George Washington.....I was there as well.
My Dad was aging when I first happened to see this video. He lifted weights til nearly the end, taking great care in his health and appearance. He fought a long bearded biker in my defence and honour when he was in his late 50’s. My literal Superman, then, and throughout all of my life. When I saw this video, the character WAS my father. Always caring for the underdog, he would stand up for them. Even in his 80’s. Long passed now, tears still flow when I hear Kryptonite. I am proud to say I became HIS Superman. Caring for him until the end. This one’s for you Daddy. Forever. 💙
Such a strong man!
God bless. 🙏
He sounds like an amazing man. You were blessed
Legend!
I was lucky enough enough to have a father like that. Also to take care of him in his old age. He passed away in 2007 at the age of 84. RIP to all the great fathers.
What I like about 3 Doors Down is that they truly let the music take the wheel. They're not image-driven or self-centered. They're just a straight-up, simple, to-the-point rock band; the first of it's kind since .38 Special, I'd say.
Truth. I just miss that type of talent. Being your genuine self.
Such a great song. And Brad is such a great guy. My son was in the Army in Sadr City 15 years ago. My son somehow got in touch with Brad and they had communications for a short time. My son was in a combat unit and it meant so much to him to have someone like Brad take time to talk it up with him. I will forever be a fan. Some great guys.
Such a kind dude.
I met the band at the New York State fair and I had photos with all of them. And they signed my CDs. They are a fantastic band and they love their fans
This song is just awesome. After close to 15 years as a cop before I resigned, this song pulled me through the worst parts. Everyone expected you to be a superman, but there are times when the world just turns its back on you, and when you backle under the pressure, it is as if everyone looks down on you in disappointment. This song will always be that corner stone to lean on. Awesome channel love it.
Thanks for doing a thankless job for as long as you did.
I am blown away by these guys. I'm going to say that Kryptonite is the only song I can name from these guys. Awesome to see these guys just being normal guys, still in awe of what they have accomplished. I love how he looks whoever is talking straight in the eye and respectfully let's them finish talking before giving insight or an answer. Other "celebrities" could definitely take some etiquette classes from them. Now at 50 I am going to dig a bit more into 3 Door Down, their country boy charm makes me want to hear the deep tracks. GREAT INTERVIEW
Here without was a much bigger and better song. He wrote as a dedication to his wife. It's about what he thinks about his wife while away touring on the road .
I'm a 54Yr old Mom who found this song and the band through my kids' playlist, I only listened to classic rock and didn't think there was any good music being made but when I heard this song I started listening to them and the other bands my sons were listing to and found a wealth of ridiculously good music I had been missing out on!!!
I bought my first "3 Doors Down" CD in Camp Victory, Baghdad in 2004. It became my soundtrack of Iraq blaring on the stereo while driving not knowing if we were going to be ambushed or be dodging IEDs that day. 3 Doors Down will be in my memories of Iraq till the day I die. Thank you!
I remember that as a mobile DJ, everyone just called this song “Superman”. At first I didn’t know what they were asking for. I learned very quickly.
I'm old. So, I wasn't tuned into radio at all at the time this song came out. However, this pierced my shield of disdain for all things commercial. I really grooved to it. Now, I'm proud of myself. I had no idea this song wasn't a manufactured band and popular due to a manufactured hype pushed by the corporate tools. Refreshing. I love history. You will never understand anything unless you understand context. You will understand nothing unless you understand history.
Great take Robin.
Amen 🎶
Very well said! …… oh, I’m old too!
I'm old too, but I still have my ear out for new music that's good. I hate sounding like an old fart, but the new music on the charts today rarely moves me. I do still find good new music, it just isn't found in the top 40 these days.
"Kryptonite" certainly caught my attention when it came out, even though 2000 was a particularly rough time; my mom died and I was working 2 jobs and getting my house ready to sell so I could move 1500 miles away before my stalker got out of prison in 2001.
Driving to work was the only time I got to enjoy listening to music, and this always caused me to crank the volume to feel that awesome drum beat.
Like the songwriter, I was the youngest kid in my family and my two sisters were old enough to be my moms. One sister went off to college when I was five and she put all her Beatles 45s in the trash, and I quickly retrieved them. I had a turntable/speakers in a suitcase box that I played children's records on, but those Beatle records found a new home there. I also got my older brother's 45s when he got tired of them. When I was 10, I bought my first record with my lunch allowance, a song I loved so much I skipped lunch at school to save money to buy the single. It was Don McLean's "American Pie".
When I was 11, my big Christmas gift was a Montgomery Ward stereo component system, it was AM/FM, played 8-tracks, and had a separate Garrard turntable and some decent speakers. I was so happy, I cried! Both of my parents loved music, and dad was a radio/microwave engineer. He also gave me a set of headphones that were professional quality, huge heavy things that gave me my own private world to enjoy music. I had to lie down to listen to those things, so heavy my neck hurt otherwise!
I got my first job at 15, and almost all my earnings went to buying records.
This is why I love this channel so much, and feel kinship with Adam, The Professor. Like him, music has always been a huge part of my life, and always will be until I die.
If I have a funeral, I want to go out to this Harry Nilsson song! 😁

Ditto
Love 'Kryptonite.' But with being down range in 2002, 'When I'm Gone,' and 'Here Without You,' are etched in my head forever.
Same
What an awesome interview!
Great story/Interview - Thanks!
the more i watch - the more i dig the content - thanx man !
Great interview and great guys!
What a great interview of two great humble down to earth guys! Thx prof
Great interview. Thanks
Wow....what a great story! Great guys, too - so real and down to earth... another great episode, Professor 🔥
Great interview! I'm so glad I watched.
I was a DJ at the local skating rink in the late 90's, and early 2000's and this was one of our most requested songs. I wasn't a fan of most of the songs coming out about them, but this was one song that I really liked. It's nice to hear the back story on it and makes me appreciate it even more.
So awesome!!! & Very cool!!!😎👍
Awesome interview as you always do, so glad I found this channel, nothing but memories every time I watch you, who doesn’t love music old and new there’s a place for it all
Another fantastic interview! Thank you! What a really fun story!
I remember this song playing many moons ago, soldiers coming back from half a world away.
Love that song and the group as well! That song saw me through a very dark time in my life. Thank you 😊
This was a great interview. I was really impressed with how real those guys are, thanks for posting this video!
Great interview! Seem like great guys. Watched em last year live and what a great show! Nice job!
They seem like some cool dudes.. fun interview!
I was living with some friends when this song came out- awesome interview and what a story.
Saw them in concert s few years ago. Incredible. Great interview!!
WOW! That's ridiculously amazing! Good for them!
Awesome again professor! I remember that song coming out of nowhere and blam ! It was everywhere 👍
Love this! I remember when they came out, 3 Doors Down is one of my favorites. And that whole album is great. What a story!! 💜
Great interview. They come across as just being real. Humble. It’s nice to see
I certainly enjoyed the interview ,these guys are 1st class good people thank you so much .
Damn, I love these guys. To reach their level of success and still come off as down to earth dudes is inspiring. Great interview!
So raw and so innocent! Thank you!
Impressed with their down to earth personal values. Great band with great catchy tunes. I am a fan, and old fashioned old fuck.
Thanks Doyle.
These guys are great...enjoyed every minute of their interview.
What a nice interview. The guys are honest & not full of themselves. Good luck for their future. Thanks for the post.
What a bunch of good humble dudes, love it....
Wow, what a great interview and awesome bunch of guys so down to Earth. That song was just amazing when it 1st came out, a breath of fresh air. It still sounds amazing now!! Great job Adam with the story, as usual!!
Awesome video, this is my favorite so far! I have photographed 3 Doors Down. They are still a favorite band of mine. Brad Arnold is still so humble with his fame and music. I
Great interview, really enjoy watching this. Kryptonite is one of those songs I've heard thousands of times yet I never get tired of hearing. I saw these guys play a small ub in Charlottesville Virginia not long after Kryptonite took off. It was a great show with Nickelback opening while doing their first US East Coast tour.
ive always loved this band, and after seeing this interview im amazed how down to earth these guys are... love them!
My favorite band by far!! I've seen them 25 times. Never gets old
Didn't really know much about 3 Doors Down, but seemed like great guys. Awesome interview.
Gods I feel old. You doing an episode of this song makes me go back to the early 2000's and things were awesome for me
What a lovely interview, such charming humble young people. Always delighted to see folks from this area doing well. I feel sure my sister saw them live several times, she loved going to the shows
First, fantastic interview and really cool that he wrote the song at 15. Second, those guys are WAAYY too nice for rock n roll. Amazingly humble dudes. Always liked the song, but like it even more now. Thanks for the video
What a lovely interview. Love those guys - they're so natural and down to earth. Found 3DD by chance some years ago and always have loved their music ever since.
Man, what a great interview! I've never seen an interview with these guys before I had no idea what a down-to-earth bunch of guys they were. Good job
great interview
A couple of good ole boys from Mississippi. Very humble. Love it!
Great story. Humility is almost never rewarded in the music business. Nice to hear this one.
Wow! Great memories! I am from South Mississippi and i listened to WCPR and remembered hearing this song and was blown away by it also. I grew up about 30min from where they did and was so proud that some good ole Mississippi boys were rocking the radio with an awesome song! I traveled for my work and was continually amazed at the places that i heard this song played around the country (and Canada), and was always quick to point out that they were from "right down the road"! Great interview, Professor!
Always great videos, great interviews, very inspiring, Thank You
This is a real trip down memory lane. There wasn't much new rock music that I liked at that time. I always like this song - it's hard not to - but I knew nothing about the band. This was a great interview. They seem like great guys that would be fun to hang out with.
64 year old here, who grew up on the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Sabbath. My daughter told me about this band and song, when it was new. I think Kriptonite is one of the top 10 rock songs of all time.
They put on such an amazing high energy show! I also love how they’ve always been so supportive of our military.
Amazing! I never really paid them much attention, when kryptonite would come on the radio I would listen without giving it much thought. I will not take them or this song for granted ever again. So down to earth and not at all what I expected. Great interview!
What a breath of fresh air you are!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The Road I'm On is one of my all time favorite songs. It never fails to move me.
The thing you hear always from anyone who interviews 3 Doors Down is how genuinely nice they are. Great talent, great interview.
Yup, nice.....love that openness that those guys have....the sight of them like that .....just the real deal.... that's why they're badass, love those guys just 3 doors down..... awesome 👍
This song and this band changed my life when I was a senior in highschool. It made me want to play music and playing music is what keeps me going. The amount of hits and great songs they put out is unbelievable.
Every interview I have seen of these guys is awesome, just down home good ol boys with a great appreciation of what they have and done, and who put them there. None of the fake bs.
Great show! Great guys! Love, Love Kryptonite ❤️❤️. I can't believe it's old enough to be considered classic rock. Love 3 Doors Down. ❤️❤️
Thanks Adam Matt and Brad. This was a great episode 💜
I saw these dudes multiple times. They always came off as genuine and put on a good show. And I love the fact that they threw props at Sevendust in this interview. What a great band.
This proud daughter of the South is so freakin proud when my fellow Southerners makes it big!!! I adore TDD!!!! I wished their new music was still being played on regular radio in my area!! Here without you is my all time fav of theirs. Great guys!!
Great interview, Great song: Great album!
Great band, I’ve seen them several times in concert! What an amazing song but the band is incredible! Absolutely love them! They deserve every minute of fame they get!!
as always... gr8 video!.. do what ya want.. its all Kryptonite baby!!
Such a down to earth band! Saw them in concert a number of years ago. Brad left the stage and circulated through the audience while singing. People started hugging him, and he hugged back. No chaos, all very orderly. I was thrilled to be one of the people getting a hug. Brad never lost a beat! Great interview, Professor, thanks!
This was one that broke through the grunge! I was listening to alternative radio in the early 90's. Really like this group and their opening riff is brilliant and catchy.
One of those songs that was meant to be. Not only have I not tired of it, I still get excited when I hear the intro starting. Had no idea it was written this way and the story behind them. Thanks again
These guys are so humble and nice I became a fan just from watching this video
A lot of great songs come from simple licks that are really well done.
wow such a great interview Love the song - I'm 73 and i got this song from my 42 year old daughter way back when. She loved Creed and we went to see them at Th Saratoga performing Art center. S.P A. C
I can truly say I had never heard this song till after 911, because I never cared for a lot of the music after grunge started. But I saw the video honoring our Military with this song. After that it became one of my favorite songs. Also to listen to more of their songs.
Loved this song & the interview was amazing!! Would love to meet them!! & of course, I’d love to meet you too!! Have you ever done a video about hall & oats before? Or the police?
Chess King reference FTW. I remember that song being ginormous. Never knew much about the band - those guys seem amazingly humble and decent. Another good one, Adam.
Great guys, great song. Never really paid attention to the band but found your interview with them interesting. There is always something to be learned, if we let ourselves 👍
That story is insane! I always loved this band, even more now!
Great song, great band and still incredibly humble!! Very cool!!
I always liked the song Kryptonite, but there are many other songs from 3 Doors Down, that I like even more. I didn’t know much about the band before, but I always got the impression that Brad was one of the good guys in rock your interview with them not only affirmed that, but he seems even more relatable than I would’ve pictured him. Great interview. I really enjoyed listening to the story of how everything fell into place for them.
Awesome story, very humble guys
My wife is the fan and together went to a concert...what a fun show. Thanks for the interview it's good to know they are really down to earth guys having fun.
Very much love to see some more videos like this. It's good to be reminded that every now and then some truly great songs are still hitting the air waves
Actually if you have this already I didn't find it. I'd love to see anything on the song 'Perfect,' or Pink in general
You were right I like them a lot better after watching this. I had no idea they were humble southern boys that blows me away.
3 Doors Down - Always loved hearing every song on the radio and I knew all the members of the #3 cover band in my state at that time period and they played at least a few 3 Doors songs every gig. I could never get tired of them.
I've seen them in concert a couple times and they always put on a great show and connect with the fans. Definitely seem like great guys putting out great music.
These guys look more like hockey fans than rock stars. Very down to earth humble dude with no evidence of hubris. Very refreshing to see.
Nice interview as always, Professor, and they’re nice guys to boot.
I’ve still never heard of them or the song (also not my kind of music,) but well done all!
Always loved Three Doors Down! This was an awesome interveiw!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Bob.
Great story - rare stuff ! Thanx Prof 👍👍👍
It’s wonderful to see him so excited about the songs and experiences.
Wow. What a fun to watch interview. Their faces when they acknowledge their first tour would be as an opening act for Creed, when Creed was at their Prime, it shows how down to earth these guys are. Like Bon Jovi did, sometimes you have to ask the guy who play the songs to give you a space. I'm glad he did it!
By the way, nice T-shirt, as always!
