New Miserable Experience is a monster album; almost everything I've heard from that era (b-sides/demos/etc) is gold. And few songs can evoke as strong a sense of time and place for me as Hey Jealousy does for the summer of 93.

I hope NME will one day be remembered as one of the greatest rock albums (at least) of it's time. It really is lightning in a bottle. Just great music with a sound all its own.

I’m a huge Doug Hopkins fan. Some of the chimeras tunes like the script, Johnny and pony boy are amazing. Doug’s song have a huge impact on my life. I could only image the amazing songs that we will never hear since he is gone. Truly amazing song writer.

Still a great band that I listen to regularly. Rest peacefully, Doug.

Gin Blossoms meant everything to me in the 90s. So many songs were representative of my life back then. Wish Doug had been able to not become another rock n roll tragedy.

Rip Doug Hopkins, his songwriting was on-point.

I was 5 years old when New Miserable Experience came out. I remember my brother buying it and playing it every morning before school and every day. Looking back it influenced me and gave me a deep love for good music and good songwriting. A couple years later he bought Hootie and the Blowfish Cracked Rear View and that album did the same for me. This was a truly dynamite era for rock music and songwriting in general.

I first met Doug Hopkins in 1980. He was playing at The Knights of Columbus hall on Scottsdale Rd just north of Tempe. Now Fast forward 13 years, after his firing, Doug would hold court at Long Wong's in Tempe at a table on the right side of the stage. And inevitably to his memorial service-- several months later.

Dude read the lyrics of “I found out about you.” Insane how perfect and to the point they are. Exactly what you want to say when someone breaks your heart. Perfect. On the level I’d say of John mayers lyrics on his sob rock album.

I was born in the 90s and the gin blossoms were my first favorite band, I still listen to them.

I went to grade school and high school with Jesse Valenzuela. He is a great guy and a good guitar player. I was really happy for him when I realized he was with the Gin Blossoms. I love their music. I was saddened by the death of doug. I have worked in behavioral health for 23 years. I wish there was a way to convince more young people to get the help that they need. It is very tragic that young people have to die from drugs or alcohol.

When we say our music was better, this is what we’re talking about.

90s was the peak and end of rock.

I Love Jealousy - even today. It is one of the best pop songs. I wish they hired Doug to be the band's songwriter. He was Super Talented.

Loved the Gin Blossoms growing up, one of my favorite bands back in the 90s. Still love their first two albums.

This story is an amazing testament to the power of timing and presentation. Pretty crazy.

Found Out About You is my favorite song of theirs. The Gin Blossoms was one of those alternative rock music bands that was part of the scene in the 1990s that showed a much more mature and grown up side to American pop rock music. It wasn't popular music for angsty teenagers. It was popular radio worthy pop rock for adults who understood life. Rest In Peace Doug. 🥀🌹✝️

I'm from Wales UK and I bought the album in 1993 and it became my soundtrack of my year and I had so much love for the gin blossoms and still do and I still have the CD and I listen to my favourite tracks on my phone all the time, thanks guys!

I played in a local original band in Dallas and we got to open for the Gin Blossoms. We hung out backstage but I was too shy to talk to any of them. But it was a fun experience in front of a large crowd!

Thank You. I was introduced to Gin Blossoms in the military in the early 1990s. I was driving back to base in preparation to go "somehwere to do somethings". The NME cassette was playing in the van as our team was heading to the air base to load and go. It has always been interesting to me as I hear songs from the 1980s & 1990s and I go to "what & where" during "those times". The wars in Central & South America were always our focus and songs in the USA had a real emotional impact. Thank You & Peace & Health always. Be Well and Safe.

I had lots of tapes in the 80s. My first CD was the Gin Blossms. I loved that cd.

New Miserable Experience is my favorite album from the 90's. They were a breath of fresh desert air when compared to grunge and the Seattle scene: kinda like R.E.M and the Byrds with their own original spin. I have mixed feelings about their legacy- New Miserable Experience is an epic album because of Doug's presence/genius. His bandmates sold a drowning man down river and then cashed their checks.

Gin Blossoms have some good tunes. Always liked that band.

I love them, just sounds like the 90s. Great vid man, I know it takes tedious work and research and energy. Very well put together

Now this is truly a tragic story. NME is a 90's must have.

Thank you for making this video! I learned a lot about this band. Just discovered them after hearing the song broke my heart. Even more heartbreaking hearing their background.

Hey Jealousy still stands out for me

Great songs the 90s where the last great decade of music man i miss that era 👍

I knew John Hampton and his children were childhood friends of mine, and I remember many of the things that happened with the Gin Blossoms as they were happening. I never actually met them, but I felt like I knew them. I wanted to see them succeed so badly, and it was great when they did, but heartbreaking at the same time.

Well done story. Great band I’ve seen many times over the years. Doug’s songwriting contribution was huge as evidenced by how flawless that first album was and how they would never be that prolific again. Congratulations I’m sorry has some good songs and no out and out clinkers but is definitely a big step down. They rebounded with Major Lodge sounding stronger and returning to form, then really phoned it in on the next album.

I just discovered gin blossoms a couple weeks ago and then this video comes out. What an age we live in

I recently went on a 90s deep dive and relistened to a lot of 90s alternative and pop hits. I never realized Gin Blossoms had SO many hits. But when you hear them one by one you go "oh yeahhh..."

Living in Mesa, AZ in the mid thru late 80's it was a great testing ground for great local bands like Gin Blossoms, Meat Puppets and others. We got a lot of upcoming bands from L.A. and San Diego, not to mention had a alternative AM station that introduced artists not played on main waves.

I think you guys got the congratulations I'm sorry singles mixed up. Follow you down was a massive hit. Never mentioned.

Why does critics always assume that a good Band has to come out of some Mega Metropolis or music place to have some sort of value to their craft! Gin Blossoms were amazing listening to on my drives to Washington DC from NC in the 90s, still listening to them.

THIS ONE MADE ME CRY HARD, rip Doug

GB are in my top 10 fav bands ever. Until I Fall Away is my favorite song by them. The newer stuff by them isn't bad. They are better than 1 (2) hit wonder, every damn song on NME could've been a radio single.

I don't think you can overstate just how good this band was. They get lumped in with a lot of the other one hit wonders of their era but they don't at all fit in. New Miserable Experience was the soundtrack to my teenage years. I felt every word, every guitar lick. Those lyrics are deep, meaningful and sad. They oozed that lonely southwestern sound. Every song was a bar of rusted gold. Every word of it would break my heart and heal it all over again. I hope one day the world will understand what a gem this little Tempe, Arizona band truly was.

We hear so many stories about crappy record labels, so credit that they didn’t give up on New Miserable Experience because they new it was fantastic.

Great video. Very well-done and researched. I had the 2nd & 3rd albums on CD. *New Miserable Experience* - which obviously the experience of recording it was just that - was a great album with the 2 best songs the Gin Blossoms ever did. *Congratulations I'm Sorry* was just okay; not as hard or jumpy as the previous album. It was actually a pretty maudlin affair. You're not kidding about "Hey Jealousy." I've always loved the song, and just like with Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," I've never gotten sick of it even once. Overall, I would rank "Hey Jealousy" in the Top 20 90s songs, with "Found Out About You" in the Top 30. It's good to know that they have been back for a long time now and are still playing shows.

Great video!

I've still got the CD. 🤘

@@scotv5099 I agree. We don't know what Doug was like to work with and to be around during that period. From my own personal experience, somewhat similar to Doug in suffering long periods of depression/suicidal behavior, but without any alcohol or drug issues, I believe it can be very hard for people who are around them. It's just very tiring, emotionally wearing on those who have to deal with it. People get fed up. And it's especially hard for those who are working together. If it had been a company that Doug was working at, he'd simply have been fired - just like others who've shown up late, drunk, and unable to work or with serious personal issues, at any normal workplace. Of course, I do have empathy and sympathy for Doug. It's terrible how it all turned out. I wonder where his family was, or his other close friends. Why weren't they helping him? But I'm guessing he was very difficult, exasperating, temperamental, and not open to seeing the other side of things, like I was. Maybe a lot of bridges got burnt. The band's future was in question, and Doug was a huge liability. I can see why they fired Doug, and really how could they succeed with a band member who was regularly showing up drunk and unable to perform - how could they possibly record, tour or do promos? It was the only sensible thing to do. However, I don't understand why the other members agreed to this decision to withhold payment to Doug until he signed away his share of royalties. That part I do not understand. Doug had made a considerable contribution to their album, and even though the album hadn't become a success yet when this situation happened, didn't they think it unfair to make him sign over royalties? Again, we don't know what exactly was going on between all of them, and obviously the band members came to regret their actions afterwards. I'm sure they just didn't realize where it was all headed.
