The Kerrang! Chart: The best new music this week
The ultimate new music countdown – every Friday!
twenty one pilots hit Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform their latest single from Scaled And Icy, The Outside.
Fresh from an appearance at iHeartRadio ALTer EGO (which caused Muse's Matt Bellamy to bust out some serious dad moves), twenty one pilots hit Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The duo and their live band performed Scaled And Icy track The Outside while they were there, which is the latest single from their awesome 2021 album and will soon be getting an official video.
Speaking to Kerrang! last year about The Outside and its meaning, frontman Tyler Joseph revealed (in a previously unseen excerpt from the interview), “That’s one of my favourites [on the album], for sure. I kind of felt like that song was me thinking I’m the old guy in the room – which is kind of a new feeling! But just seeing a lot of new artists and new songs and new movements and a lot of great creative awesome stuff, you know, you start to grips with the fact that your career is gonna come to an end at some point – just like your life. And no-one likes to talk about it or think about it. So how can we come to grips with it and actually benefit from coming to grips with it – to benefit from being at peace with there being an inevitable ending to when people just do not care to hear what you have to say anymore? That song is kind of wrestling with that, and not in a fearful way, but in a coming to grips way. And I actually think that it left room for a new sense of fearlessness.”
