This is hands down one of the most underrated songs in history. Over 20 years old now and it still holds up today. I love this entire album. They should’ve been way bigger than they were.
I blame the other band members for constantly fucking around doing side projects kinda fucking with the bands momentum. Such a waste. Glad he is back but if im honest does not feel the same.
It's such a relieving feeling to see that I'm not the only one that still binges on what I consider the "real music era." I miss bands like Orgy. I'll never forget the first time I heard Opticon by them. I was blown away lol.
we really did grow up in the last grea era for music, movies, tv etc. Now you got kids today larping in our fashion and taking our trends acting like they are doing something new. Gonna sound like old man yelling at clouds here but I feel like our gen had respect for what came before us even if we didnt like it. This new gen however not so much.
anaroxy I was 15 going on 16 as sophomore when this came out in the fall of '99 and hearing it for the first time in so many years just brought the memories flooding back...
I was 12 or 13. Good god, the good ole days! TRL lol I've always said that Orgy was highly overlooked and underrated, especially during this time, the height of the nu-metal thing. Everyone was hung up on Korn and limp bizkit but I MUCH preferred Orgy and Coal Chamber!! damn I miss those days, now I'm old and lame.. 😢
I finally found it. This song has been in my head ever since I first heard it on 98.9 The Buzz (Rochester NY) on a hot May afternoon during recess in kindergarten, 2001 (:
Takes me back. The nostalgia can be heart wrenching at times. I love how this band kind of embodies how we thought the future should look and sound (in terms of rock), which was pretty much spirit of the 90's. Things are so much more toned down these days, or maybe nothing shocks us any more... That would explain why its takes genre of music that sounds like robot farts to get people pumped. Dub step; The new future music... man I'm stoned. :-)
I feel ya, it is heart-wrenching, in a bittersweet sorta way. This particular song reminds me of the people I no longer run with, getting fucked up, being young, and the summer of 98, or 99... It hurts so good.
+TheDeceptikron Look kiddo, I don't know what you are smoking, you got personal problems, you sort 'em out, son, but don't you ever call Orgy crap, you hear? 'Cause I didn't kill and maim for this damn country so I can hear dumb folk like you bitching about this good music. Now good day sir.
@@samaelimmortan6037Seriously not trying to start shit here, but to say: "I didn't kill and maim for this damn country, so I can hear dumb folk like you; bitch about this good music" doesn't make much sense. What I mean to say is; if you enlisted, and subsequently fought for the United States: you DID, in fact, fight for that person, and every American citizen's right to free speech. Sure, I get that your musical preferences can vary from the next person's, and you might not like what they have to say... but at the end of the day, you chose to fight for their right to "bitch."
Tech-punk/new wave/2k goth was, and always will be, about performance art. Jay is one of the most passionate and quiet artists that I ever was lucky enough to meet.
Oh how I miss the 90's when wearing metal or goth clothes was about as close to mainstream as it will ever get. It was awesome to see so many people do it and for channel v/mtv to actually play metal songs I still keep it metal every day \m/
Crazy Memories of growing up in my Teens in the late 90s early 2000 my Generation was the last one with this music, concerts, trespassing all over NYC staying out all night long with friends, bugging out with a Blunt a Beer no cell phones no nothing every one hanging out having fun, MISS THOSE DAYS..... NOW all the new kids stuck at home online I go by the old hang out spots and guess what THERE ALL EMPTY........ go out and get into some trouble experience something in Life not sit at home.. sad
I discovered Orgy recently and i feel like "where they were hiding all this time"? It's a pity when i was a child on tv i never had the occasion to watch them, but oh well i had also very different tastes in music at that time so maybe i would have *sigh* ignored them. The 90s and early 2000s was a great time for music, even the alternative stuff!!
@@killerdreck It was a weird time, alot of really good bands would come out with one great album then vanished forever. One that sticks out to me the most coz i stumbled upon them recently after DECADES of not being able to remember lol. Downer - last time, entire album waas good. Or Union Undergound, or Adema...
This guys were so ahead of their time, this still sounds and looks current, would still look good if it was released today. just more HD and that's it.
I saw them in Minneapolis once, I think it was in 2000, and they had it set up so the drum set was on hydraulics that would move it around and almost go out into the crowd during a solo. It was one of the best electronic drum set solos I've ever seen. I wish cell phone videos were around more back then because I haven't been able to ever find a video of it and it was one of those moments that really got me into playing music. Absolutely amazing and I wish they'd do a tour like that again.
But they didn't play the full-length clips unless your were one of their megastars of the time like Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears etc. I can still see Carson Daly as the host, and now he's on the Today Show on NBC still looking pretty good for his age. Thank god there will be never be another TRL.
Yes, and no. They were just borrowing from other bands who weren't as well known. This British act was way ahead of their time, and bands such as Orgy borrowed heavily from them. Check out Cubanate and this piece of techno brutality with heavy guitars. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e29UHJv5S70.html
Yooooooo i havnt heard this song in about 10 years.... this is from my childhood. This song is underrated! i was a lil rock head for a quick min... '98-2001ish.... 11-13 years old. around that time. also Korn. & this is growin up in urban NYC... the hood part. Im mostly hip hop/r&b...reggae/reggaeton...spanish... but yea i can go in on this.
I didn't know they made a video for this song, I just always liked it from their album. Awesome. And to the nostalgia 90's guys, if you're in teh Vegas area, there's a bar/grill that does a 90's night the 2nd & 4th fri of every week. It's at Putters & called The Jilted Generation.
Wow...totally forgot about this band. Honestly, their first 2 CDs were pretty damn good...even now. While the whole numetal thing hasn't aged that well, the songwriting behind it is pretty solid...and the vocal melodies are honestly great. Weird watching this now. I remember seeing it on TRL when I was 15...
These guys honestly were doing the (radio friendly) industrial rock thing before Linkin Park. But also, Linkin Park went more towards the nu-metal sound that was big at the time.
@@RY30DM Not really Jay was not apart of it. Dead by Sunrise Julian K side projects by other members of Orgy is the reason why it took so fucking long for Orgy/Jay to do anything. Then they got all salty at Jay who started the dam band in the first place coz he had been waiting for 5+ years coz they were too busy with these side projects and wanted to make new Orgy music. And lets be honest, Dead by Sunrise sounds like Linkin Park.
the video itself plays like an artful parody of the music industry, it is immensely clever! gosh, Orgy 1998 edition still sounds so fresh and vibrant 22 years on !
I remember thinking this music video was THE absolute shit when it came out. It still holds up as one of those ageless, unforgettable songs and videos. Candyass was a fucking great album.
I remember this on TRL back in the day. I didnt really care for it then as an 11 YO, but i remember being almost hypnotized every time it came on. Never understood it, but now looking back and REALLY enjoying it as a 36 YO, I think it was like my young brain just wanted to revisit it when I was older or something.
I was like 7 when this came out. I'm 19 now and I recently discovered this song. I love it! Way better than the crappy music now. I envy the teenagers that were lucky enough to live in such a wonderful era of music while I'm stuck in the crappy one LOL.
I just recently started getting into this band, though I've known about them for a while. Every time I listen to one of their songs I can feel the very soul and essence of the 90's and what made that decade so unique. That very essence is lacking in the vast majority of music that is marketed to people today. No doubt drowned out by the sick entity that is commercialized music.
Yeah me too. TV on in the 1990s was waaay better than what is on now! Music had more soul in it too! Today, lots of music is commercial and nothing else. Thank God Orgy stuck to their guns all this time. I am so psyched that they are back together! Orgy Rules!
Fell in love with Orgy the first time I heard them in maybe '97?. The videos are hilarious though and totally blow what aweomness I imagined they were doing, away.
There was so much crap though during the 90's. It was the generation of Brittany Spears, N'Sync/Backstreet Boys, Hansen (who surprisingly, became really good mature songwriters and have put out multiple albums) etc. A lot of it was manufactured by Swedish producer Max Martin, and it was sickly sweet. I also hated a lot of the alt-rock of the day. I still cringe every time I hear Blind Melon's "No Rain" come on. It was a shitty song then, and it's still a shitty song today.
I'm a musician, I look at it this way - it may NEVER be the same again..fine but I'm taking what I loved about that time period and those albums and bringing it to what I do. That's the most I can do to extend that rare, tiny little sliver of my' teen years. lol Just be glad we had this and not all the shit kids these days are being fed lol
Damn I miss the early to mid 2000s being young and single I would just go cruising at nights on the weekends listening to my candyass cd, the feeling of the times everything was just right, sad those days are long gone now 😔
Im 14 now, found this band a few months ago and im a huge fan. I didnt really see this back in the day, but somehow it makes me think of when i was really young, at my grandmas house everyday, going to the Great Ma
The comments section is filled with my people. Lol Man you are all so right. The music today sucks. I do follow some new bands but most of the bands I follow started out in the 90's. This song is one of my all time favorites. Lyrics are great and the sound is heavy and dark.
Ryan and Amir went onto some really cool projects, that weren't as popular, but still just as good. The first is Dead by Sunrise with the late Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. "Let Down" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vQvtGDXAz_I.html and "Crawl Back In". Then there's Julien-K and its disparate styles. Here they are in their breezy, dancey vibe. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q7da5lEzS6Q.html But they grew more attention for their industrial sound initially as on this track from 2020 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JYrUtHlV6Lk.html.
super great haha i remember my mom would play her Orgy cd loud enough to shake the house when she vacuumed and there i'd be, like 5 years old, rocking out to Blue Monday. good times
