Fieldy: When we did that song, [we] definitely [knew] this [was] going to be one of the hits. One of the classics. It stands out. What really took it over the top was when the middle part broke down, and then Jonathan came in and started doing that weird, almost-reggae beatboxing crazy scat voice.
That almost made the whole song, what everybody waits for. Right when that hit, we just knew that song was special. I was beatboxing because I love to beatbox. Fieldy: Jonathan was a DJ, then a drummer, then a singer. Jonathan: That comes from Doug E. Fresh and shit like that, old school hip-hop. Doug E. Fresh was the best beatboxer back then. We knew we made the soundscape strange but still very catchy.
There were a lot of guitar and vocal hooks. We loaded that one down with those hooks. Toby: Jonathan made it that much better by really singing his butt off on that song. Toby: Back then, the crowd bounce was a big thing. If that crowd wasn't bouncing, you weren't doing your job on stage. After assembling a few songs, the band dove into the studio. Fieldy: It was different back then because it was all not really knowing what we [were] doing. You can hear it in the way the song turned out.
Munky: We probably could have sped things up and had more focus — that's sort of the beauty of it though. There wasn't one direction. You get something very unique and something that not everybody has.
Jonathan: [It was] my first record without Ross Robinson, so I had Ross come in and produce the vocals with me. He was doing some crazy weird shit like sticking his nails in my back when I was singing. Toby: Jonathan did hire him very briefly as his vocal coach. One of the first thing Ross did while Jonathan was trying to sing was punch him in the back, right on his spine. A couple of times. Why are you punching the singer while he's singing?
No offense, I love you brother, but I'm trying to do something different. I don't need to have you put your fucking nails in my back and make me hurt to feel the pain. Toby: He's a very violent person. I don't think it lasted more than two or three vocal sessions. Jonathan: He was my crutch. I was very afraid to do an album without him — that's all I'd known.
While this seems almost standard now in the age of Boiler Room, Facebook Live, and Reddit AMA, in it was an unprecedented way for a band to create their mythos away from the music press and to connect directly with fans. Toby: We were in the studio six days a week, but we were only really working maybe three days. We had No Work Thursday, which was the internet broadcast, and then we had Friday — and people couldn't work because it was Friday and they were hungover from No Work Thursday.
Then it was Saturday, and you really couldn't do any work. Maybe we got a little bit of guitars done. We had special guests in the studio and porn stars because Jonathan was all into that. Munky: Oh my god, that show was so distracting to our process. We made it into Time magazine in We did the very first webcast — we had Adam Carolla come in to host a show, and we partnered up with Quicktime and they came in and brought all these cameras.
You could look around in the studio if you dragged a cursor over it. We'd tape songs right off the board and we had little interviews and shit.
We really embraced the internet at the time. Munky: Dita von Teese came on one of the shows and tied Jonathan up in some weird knot and whipped him. It was awesome. Go get in on the hip-hop writing experience, have fun.
You're giving a bunch of kids money that are already drunks and drug addicts. Probably not the best thing. Jonathan: I refused to start singing unless [Toby] got me an eight-ball of cocaine right away. Toby started freaking the fuck out, because he knows if I do coke I only get a couple takes and the shit's gonna kick in and then my vocals are going to suck.
There was a lot of that. Toby: I tried to limit the amount of candy that went on before the parts were actually laid down — whether it was beer or weed or whatever. None of it was allowed in the control room. I didn't want to see.
I just stayed in the control room and covered my eyes. I wasn't drunk when I did my vocals. I was under the influence of some coke at times, but for the majority of it I'd stay sober. Then I was done and I'd just get hammered.
We partied at NRG until 4 in the morning. Those poor guys would have to leave the place open and we [were] just raging. Something takes a part of me Something lost and never seen Every time I start to believe Something's raped and taken from me from me Life's gotta always be messing with me You wanna see the light Can't they chill and let me be free So do I Can't I take away all this pain You wanna see the light I try to every night, all in vain, in vain. Sometimes I cannot take this place Sometimes it's my life I can't taste Sometimes I cannot feel my face You'll never see me fall from grace.
Something takes a part of me You and I were meant to be A cheap fuck for me to lay Something takes a part of me. Feeling like a freak on a leash You wanna see the light Feeling like I have no release So do I How many times have I felt diseased You wanna see the light Nothing in my life is free, is free.
