The Offspring Look Back At Smash's Impact

06/16/2014
. (Classic Rock) The Offspring admit the massive success of their hit album Smash left them feeling "a little uncomfortable." They headlined the Zippo Encore Stage at Download this weekend, performing the album - the best-selling independent release of all time - in its entirety to mark its 20th anniversary.

And while they are proud of everything Smash achieved, they don't want to accept the credit it was given for reviving the punk scene. Guitarist Noodles says: "Kurt Cobain had just passed away - I think they found his body the day our record came out."

He adds: "The Ramones were still alive and playing shows, and not getting the respect or the listenership at the time that we were. That was just weird to us; that was wrong. But at least The Ramones were still around. We lost Cobain but we still had The Ramones." more on this story
