[Carpo]

Haha,yeah anyway,Fire Down Below,great song.

[charizard]

So did I, bollocks.

[ralphatron]

I've decided I like Crimson way better when I don't listen to it in the track order.

[Dave_The Revived]

Crimson i didn't like! but is it really doing well? Unreal how sound these guys are! Maybe i'll catch fire is an amazing album!

[Zachary]

Maybe i'll catch fire is an amazing album!

[Joebreaker]

They have plenty of good albums.
Tuck Me In or Sundials being the best songs.

[Dave_The Revived]

I love the cover of Queen of pain thats up there as one of my favourites aswell as tuck me in and i lied my face off.

[xChrisx]

i like their sets.ill def be at this.

[oSeano]

Always hated this band.

[ralphatron]

i like their sets.ill def be at this.

Maybe you're messing but, that post is from 2 years ago.

[Enderrr]

ALKALINE TRIO COMING BACK?!?!?!?!?111?!?1

[James]

ALKALINE TRIO COMING BACK?!?!?!?!?111?!?1

Too early + you're not on this board long enough to pull that off.

I got my hopes up about them coming back after I saw the first post. Bad buzz.

[nelly]

Too early + you're not on this board long enough to pull that off.



Elitist cunt.
You only hate him cus he doesn't listen to knights of the abyss.

[James]

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!?!?!???!?1111?!116?!??!??"££?

[nelly]

Just a joke my darling. Just a joke.

[James]

You only hate me because I don't listen to macho hardcore bullshit.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



EDIT:Terror are fucking shite.

[nelly]

You only hate me because I don't listen to macho hardcore bullshit.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



EDIT:Terror are fucking shite.

You would be jockin them hard if Ollie Sykes was rockin Terror shirts.

[James]

As you do!
You'd be jocking Knights of the Abyss if you liked good bands.
:)

[xMac Kellx]

TERROR RULE!

[James]

:petrified

[xGavx]

That Good Burger sample in that Knights Of The Abyss song is class.

[Enderrr]

Too early + you're not on this board long enough to pull that off..


:(


Anyway, on topic, alkaline trio are class.

[Darragh]

trying to get a thread back on topic...wtf is wrong with you?

[Dave_The Revived]

Wait wait wait im real confused!!! So r Alkaline Trio coming over to play here on the 23rd of febuary or not???

[xGavx]

Yes. 2007.

[SignificanceBoy]

I was talking about their gig in 5 yeears time though. It is/was deadly.

[Enderrr]

Can't wait.

[Dave_The Revived]

I fucking hate all of u im so confused!!!!!

[daytripper]

This gig wont be good at all. The sound was terrible at it.

CRIMSON WAS THEIR ONLY GOOD ALBUM! :yes:

[James]

CRIMSON WAS THEIR ONLY GOOD ALBUM! :yes:


:stunned:

[daytripper]

I thought they other ones were really rushed soundin and sloppy.
Crimson was recorded really good and has really good song structures

like

[Gajb]

This gig wont be good at all. The sound was terrible at it.

CRIMSON WAS THEIR ONLY GOOD ALBUM! :yes:

The fuck?
You've no idea what you're on. From Here To Infirmary without a fucking doubt.
Quite liked the b-sides album this year too.

[SignificanceBoy]

Good Mourning was shite, the rest were all really good with from here to infirmary having less lasting quality but i found when i went back to it after a few years i did enjoy it, very easy to get sick of though.

maybe i'll catch fire is the best.

[ralphatron]

I haven't listened to Good Mourning alot but 'We've Had Enough' is amazing.

[nelly]

I thought Maybe I'll Catch Fire, From Here To Infirmary and Good Mourning were the best albums.

[daytripper]

So does anybody like Crimson haha? I think Sadie, Time To Waste and Burn are fucking savage!

[xGlennx]

I like Crimson. Haven't really listened to the others.

[James]

Crimson is class but Burn gets on my nerves so much. Terrible song with a great video.

[daytripper]

Crimson is class but Burn gets on my nerves so much. Terrible song with a great video.

Bassline in it and drums in it are really good though, ya gotta admit!

[James]

The only thing that really bothers me is the delay on the guitar.
DUH DUH duh duh DUH DUH duh duh.
Fucking headwrecking.

[SignificanceBoy]

i love crimson.

[Smithners]

The only thing that really bothers me is the delay on the guitar.
DUH DUH duh duh DUH DUH duh duh.
Fucking headwrecking.
That's the best part lol

From Here To Infirmary is class,
Crimson is also quite good!

[Gajb]

Crimson is class but Burn gets on my nerves so much. Terrible song with a great video.

I got the video for off the Bloodpact long before it was anywhere else and I leaked it onto MySpace. I got an email from Theresa (either Matts or Dans wife) giving out to me.

[Carpo]

Using other peoples BP info. Tut tut Graham ha. Theresa is Derek's wife.

[Gajb]

Much appreciated Carpo! A right I knew it was one of them ;)

[James]

I got the video for off the Bloodpact long before it was anywhere else and I leaked it onto MySpace. I got an email from Theresa (either Matts or Dans wife) giving out to me.

Do you manage these too?

[Carpo]

Tour manager AFAIK.

[xChrisx]

CRIMSON WAS THEIR ONLY GOOD ALBUM! :yes:

have you listened to any of their other albums?

[daytripper]

have you listened to any of their other albums?

No :(

I have Crimson, Good Mourning, From Here... and Maybe I'll Catch Fire

[xGavx]

You should go out and buy their best CD. It's called 'A Clue'.

[James]

Fuck yeah! Daytripper,you should definitely get A Clue!

[daytripper]

I cant find it on CDWOW :mad:

[SignificanceBoy]

lawls

[Gajb]

March 11th the re-release of Goddammit is coming out on Asian Man.

[Carpo]

Ordered my 4 differant colour vinyls /500 each a couple weeks ago. STOKED. If anyone needs a BloodPact login info,pm me,you can use mine.

[Ciara]

I like this band :)

[James]

I started listening to Good Mourning again the other day. Such a good album. I was really hoping this bump was about a new album/gig in Dublin.

[Panda]

Same.

[Smithners]

Same.

[Gajb]

Ordered my 4 differant colour vinyls /500 each a couple weeks ago. STOKED.

They're nearly soldout already. I'm just getting a CD one.

Sorry to have given false hopes.

[ixCONORix]

One of the most important bands to me. I always remember hating Crimson, but every time I listen to it, I really like most of the songs. Good Mourning is great, no doubt about that. I was never as into From Here to Infirmary, but i still think its fantastic. Everything before that is some of the best music ever. Some songs I don't like, like Cop. I don't like that song. I like the siren in it though. I'm on a big Alk3 buzz at the moment. And Private Eye was the song Sally, Cruise and myself picked as the first song we'd play when we started the band that became Nine Lives, which I got the name from an Alkaline Trio song.

[Gajb]

Thats weird, I was listening to Crimson demos and From Here To Infirmary yesterday.

[xGavx]

Best band.

[Carpo]

Anyone else a BP member? Theres some great videos and previews of the Redux on it.

[Gajb]

I'm logging in as you now dude. Ta!

[Carpo]

No probs dude.

[Gajb]

The 2008 journal is cool. Can't wait to hear the songs.

[charizard]

What a band, fucking amazing.

Matt Skiba's appearance on Say Anything's "In Defense Of The Genre" (pt. II) is the best part about the album.

[EyesNeverSteve]

i love the song crawl off from here to infirmary.
great song.

[Gajb]

There's talk of a Mike Park/Matt Skiba acoustic tour of Europe. That'd be fucking nuts.

[x2saul4x]

Which song is Matt on off In Defense...?

have to join Bloodpact.

Carpo? Story with vinyl?

[charizard]

Which song is Matt on off In Defense...?





"About Falling", its the sixth song on disc two.

[Carpo]

The vinyl is all ordered up for the Blood Pact. Was gone in minutes. Theres lots on general release though. 500 of 8 colours.

[Gajb]

New single is class.
One of the most consistent bands going.
'Help Me' - http://www.myspace.com/alkalinetrio

[xGlennx]

THEY'RE COMING BACK OVER?!?!?!?!?!???

[Carpo]

Ahahahaha.

In Vein is fucking brilliant.

[Enderrr]

New song is fucking class. Havent listened to these in ages.

[Zachary]

I'm into it.

[Joebreaker]

New song is good yeah, although I'm not the biggest fan of Dan's vocals.

[x2saul4x]

Album's out just before my birthday!

Fave band.

This song is good.

[SignificanceBoy]

New song is good yeah, although I'm not the biggest fan of Dan's vocals.

think i prefer dans...most of my favourite songs seem to be his anyway.

[charizard]

That new song is unreal, what a band. Also I think Dan is an amazing singer, he's real distinctive, nobody else sounds like him.

[xChrisx]

you havent heard Gav sing.its eery.

[Gajb]

Into Matt's voice way more than Dan. Another Innocent Girl is probably his best song.
They're playing more b-sides live!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erGHMIBV2vE

[Joebreaker]

I'm not saying he ain't a good singer, I just prefer Matt.

Best Alkaline Trio song is Tuck Me In. Awesome song.

[Zachary]

Best Alkaline Trio song is Radio when Hot Water Music cover it. Fuck yeah.

[Joebreaker]

Awesome cover.
Awesome Split.

[Zachary]

It is awesome.

SHAKING LIKE A DOG SHITTING RAZORBLADES

[Joebreaker]

WAKING UP NEXT TO NOTHING

[SignificanceBoy]

Best Alkaline Trio song is Radio when Hot Water Music cover it. Fuck yeah.

Bleeder is hella good when done by hot water music also...well kinda just done by chuck ragan...

[Zachary]

AFTER DREAMING OF YOU AND ME

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiGMwCG4v1o

[Joebreaker]

Woah woah woah calm down Zach...

[Zachary]

hahaha best tune. They would've had to go and start wearing makeup though wouldn't they.

[Joebreaker]

Didn't they always do that?

[Zachary]

They didn't on Maybe I'll catch fire I don;t think. I could be completely wrong, my young eyes were probably unaware of it.

[Carpo]

Pretty sure they always were like that. Ive listened to Goddamnit atleast once a day for about a year and a half.

[Joebreaker]

They didn't on Maybe I'll catch fire I don;t think. I could be completely wrong, my young eyes were probably unaware of it.

They were probably blurred by all the mascara you were wearing.

[BDG]

have never really been able to get into anything after the hwm split, but everything before it is awesome

[Gajb]

The Halloween gig they brought out on DVD on Kung Fu Records I think it was - that was ages ago and they work make-up.

[Zachary]

They were probably blurred by all the mascara you were wearing.

hahaha

[xGavx]

The Halloween gig they brought out on DVD on Kung Fu Records I think it was - that was ages ago and they work make-up.
I don't think that was taped too long ago.

[Gajb]

Just checked the box. Halloween 2002

[BDG]

lots of people wear make up on halloween

[xGavx]

Just checked the box. Halloween 2002
That was shortly before Good Mourning came out so it doesn't seem like that long ago.

[Gajb]

I suppose. I didn't know what good music was in 2002 so.

[XMurderTheSonsOfBitchesX]

Alkaline Trio is def not my stuff... but i still like some songs..
havent listen to them in a while so i checked their page..
then went to Skiba's art page.. funny how i found stuff like totenkopf, yukio mishima and the song was of course Boyd Rice.. nice surprise :))

[James]

I'm not too sure if this has been posted yet, but here's a link to the Agony & Irony EP. It has 3 songs from the album and is pretty good. I haven't really listened to it much, but what I've heard has made me very excited about the album itself.

http://www.mediafire.com/?v9gihnddn2i
Tracklisting:
1. Help Me
2. In Vein
3. Into The Night

[Eddie]

One of the most important bands to me. I always remember hating Crimson, but every time I listen to it, I really like most of the songs. Good Mourning is great, no doubt about that. I was never as into From Here to Infirmary, but i still think its fantastic. Everything before that is some of the best music ever. Some songs I don't like, like Cop. I don't like that song.

And Private Eye was the song Sally, Cruise and myself picked as the first song we'd play when we started the band that became Nine Lives, which I got the name from an Alkaline Trio song.

Heh, I remember years ago when you were about 12 saying you were 17 me and Davie tried to get you into tha 'Trio but you kept saying you thought they were "mostly gay" :)

[Smithners]

Thanks, James!

[Darragh]

Heh, I remember years ago when you were about 12 saying you were 17 me and Davie tried to get you into tha 'Trio but you kept saying you thought they were "mostly gay" :)


are you saying someone can't be mostly gay and still important to someone?

[Eddie]

But of course.

Also;

Some songs I don't like, like Cop. I don't like that song.

Shut the fuck up.
Shit rules!

[Darragh]

yeah agreed cop is pretty amazing

[James]

Goddamnit! and Maybe I'll Catch Fire are the only albums I'm not majorly keen on. They both have some really good tracks, but the songs don't really play off each other as well as some of the other albums. I've been listening to From Here To Infirmary non-stop the past while. Such a good band.

[Darragh]

you're crazy, of all the albums they're the best ones, not a bad song on either....ok well "enjoy your day" is questionable but thats about it

[James]

The only song that really bothers me is Metro from Remains. I know it's a cover, but they're so much better than that.

[Darragh]

metro is amazing, the system cover is also class

[Eddie]

I think the self-titled, Goddamnit! and Maybe I'll Catch Fire are miles better than the rest, From Here to Infirmary is great too, everything after that is between decent and mediocre, in my opinion. The music is usually still great, but the lyrics went way downhill.

[James]

Some of the lyrics on Crimson are just embarrassing, especially on Burn.
'There's a lightning storm each and every night, crashing inside you like motor bikes'
Deep.

[martin]

I think the self-titled, Goddamnit! and Maybe I'll Catch Fire are miles better than the rest, From Here to Infirmary is great too, everything after that is between decent and mediocre, in my opinion. The music is usually still great, but the lyrics went way downhill.
I agree with everything here, no point in me making a separate post. you and me eddie.

[Panda]

I thought Good Mourning was very good. The summer I got that, I listened to little else.

[Eddie]

you and me eddie.

[Eddie]

Ah yeh. You pissed with your invisible skippin' rope, and me monged on me invisible toy horsey.

TRAMORE 92!

[Gajb]

That new "Into The Night" song is kinda shit. Help Me and In Vein rules though.

[Gilhooley]

"From Here To Infirmary" is pretty much all I know from these. Class album though.

[Gajb]

Get more of their shit.
They announced new tour dates today.

I'm going to see them Seattle, WA on July 30th. So excited.

[ixCONORix]

Heh, I remember years ago when you were about 12 saying you were 17 me and Davie tried to get you into tha 'Trio but you kept saying you thought they were "mostly gay" :)

Haha! As in saps. I didn't want to know about most bands back then. I always thought "That whole atticus thing is gay". Did I really pretend to be 17?! Tell the story!

[Darragh]

Get more of their shit.
They announced new tour dates today.

I'm going to see them Seattle, WA on July 30th. So excited.

i get to see them next friday in belgium

[x2saul4x]

Get more of their shit.
They announced new tour dates today.

I'm going to see them Seattle, WA on July 30th. So excited.

Graham, WA is near NY right? I'll be in America and I'll probably get a train and go to the show with you.

Favourite band.

[xGlennx]

Seattle is on the opposite coast to New York.

[x2saul4x]

Stress.

My lack of geographical knowledge is legend far and wide.

[x2saul4x]

Double post.

Oh well.

I have GIAN.

Anyone know where these dates were posted?

[xGavx]

Get the train anyway.

[xGlennx]

Yeah like ten days before the show.

[x2saul4x]

I would for them.

But I arrive on the 24th. And Warped is the 26th. Which Trio pulled out of, If I remember correctly?

[Darragh]

Anyone know where these dates were posted?

Hahaha.

[x2saul4x]

I couldn't find the July dates. On their website or MySpace or anything.

[Gajb]

Just ordered my tickets.

http://alkalinetrio.ducatking.com/index.php

[xGlennx]

Thanks for the link.

[Gajb]

Hint of sarcasm off that.

Its for Saul.

[x2saul4x]

Weird. There wasn't even a link to presale on their site or MySpace.

Oh well.

Thanks Darrragh. You're lovely too.

[Darragh]

you once clicked the "mark all forums read" button then asked why it looked like all the threads had been read

[Wez-o!]

hahaha

[Smithners]

26 Aug 2008 - Ambassador, Dublin

:D

[cr00cial n00dz]

Where did you see that?
Class :)

[Smithners]

It's on their myspace page!

[cr00cial n00dz]

Delish :D

[Darragh]

i wouldn't get to excited, they were the worst things ever in belgium last weekend

i've seen them live twice before and usually they're really tight, but they were actually terrible. i didn't realise they were playing some of my favourite songs till they were half through them cause they were so all over the place

[cr00cial n00dz]

Non festival sets > Festival sets though

[Darragh]

in terms of what songs they play maybe not in terms of how tight they are

[cr00cial n00dz]

You think? I tend to think that some bands just plain don't give a fuck about festivals and put no effort in at all.
For example, last year at GIAN Alexisonfire played a god awful set, in songs and tightness, then saw them in TBMC two days later and they were fucking amazing.
Hopefully Alkaline Trio will be class anyway, last time in Ambassador was real good and TBMC the time before was deadly.

[charizard]

Best news ever.

[SignificanceBoy]

they were woeful in TBMC, dunno how much it had to do with the poor sound quality though..also they were playin a lot of good mourning which is their worst album...singing never seems to be right from matt live though

[cr00cial n00dz]

Yeah sound wasn't great but I enjoyed that gig and I'll definately be going to this!

[Darragh]

yeah ok i can see where you're coming from,


maybe you had to see just how bad they were to understand, hopefully they'll be good though, personally i don;t think ill be going to see them though

also isn;t the ambassador meant to be a library soon?

[John]

If they play like they did at Groezrock a library would be appropriate

[Darragh]

If they play like they did at Groezrock a library would be appropriate

in alphabetical order?

[John]

Stink off that one

[Gajb]

Haha, fuck this Seattle shit

[Gajb]

And this clashes with Outbreak in Dorans.

[Carpo]

Defo going to this. Fucking class.

[Enderrr]

Cant wait!

[xGavx]

Come to Outbreak instead.

[Gajb]

So stoked for this show.

[James]

Holy fucking shit. I planned on going to all the Outbreak shows but Alkaline Trio are one of my favourite bands so I'm definitely going to this. I'll be at the other ones for def though. I can't fucking wait for this.

[hamster]

Alkaline Trio are just straight up boring live.

[x2saul4x]

OMFG!

Best news.

And to clear up, It doesn't say "All." It says Mark Forums Read, which I thought meant "Mark the forums that you have read."

[xGavx]

Haha. Even on some strange planet where Mark Forums Read can mean that, you'd still be able to tell which ones you've read from looking at the ones that aren't unread.

[John]

I think its definately going to be outbreak for me
its a shame Trio just cant pull it off live

[Lally]

If you go see Alkaline Trio over Outbreak you're an idiot. They're fucking SHIIIIIIIIT live. Possibly one of the worst bands I've ever seen.

[Gajb]

The DVD from Chicago is quality.

[Smithners]

Tickets go on sale tomorrow........

[Enderrr]

I doubt this will sell out.

[xGlennx]

GO TO OUTBREAK INSTEAD.

[Clairy]

how embarrassing...hahahhaa. gone and gone.

[Gajb]

Over 18's. That sucks for some.

[Carpo]

Everybody will get in. They did last time.

[xMac Kellx]

GO TO OUTBREAK INSTEAD.

[nelly]

Outbreak are pretty bad. Alkaline Trio are an amazing band but crap live most of the time. Go to Outbreak because the local bands are good and the buzz will be 100 times better.

[Gajb]

They have covered a Tegan And Sara song for the Help Me 7" b-side. Wonder how that'll work.

[EyesNeverSteve]

http://http://www.ticketmaster.ie/event/180040B3B71E2A10?artistid=730716&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1

30 quid a ticket. fuck that.

[ixCONORix]

http://http://www.ticketmaster.ie/event/180040B3B71E2A10?artistid=730716&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1

30 quid a ticket. fuck that.

Is that not your usual ticket price for a band/venue like that?

[Gajb]

It was 25 last time. It's not a massive hike. Inflation blah.

[xGavx]

Woah, €30!!!!!!! You should all come see Outbreak then.

[James]

I'm really liking the new album so far. Some of the song titles are a bit cringeworthy, but that's to be expected, I guess. Love this band so much.

[Gajb]

This is definitely going to be a grower.

[x2saul4x]

iTunes Deluxe preorder for the win.

7 B-sides!

[Gajb]

Does anyone have their Tegan and Sara cover?

[Gajb]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/gajb/Other/Alkaline_Trio-Seattle-Jul_31st_2008.jpg

I'm pretty excited its only a few weeks away.

[charizard]

New album is up on their myspace. Holy shit it sounds incredible. This band never seize to amaze.

[punkypopper]

got my ticket :) cant wait!!

....now hope i get in lol

[Carpo]

This new album is fucking class.

[John]

I'm pretty excited its only a few weeks away.

Seriously, dont go expecting anything

[Wynnie]

New album is class, might just go see these.

[Gilhooley]

Loving the new stuff, can't wait for these.

[Gajb]

Seriously, dont go expecting anything

Seen them before. Was alright like. I couldn't tell they were opening with Private Eye though until Matt started singing.

I Found A Way was on German radio the other night.

[x2saul4x]

New album is amazing.

Delish art with bonus disc and lyrics and such.

Must buy a ticket.

[Eddie]

Seriously, dont go expecting anything

WHAT?!?!?! Go expecting American fucking Steel to blow these has-beens off the fuckin' stage!!!

[PopArt]

On my first few listens the new album is absolutely fucking atrocious.

[Gajb]

Calling All Skeletons is such a good opener though.

[PopArt]

Yeah, it's definitely one of the better songs. The E.P. was pretty bad so I thought the album was gonna be ok after hearing that. But no.

[Gajb]

Got the Help Me vinyl today, but I can't listen to the Tegan And Sara b-side for another 2 weeks. Annoying.

[Darragh]

aido informs me that it's a grower

i'm still yet to give it any time

[hamster]

I can't believe they made an appearance on the Hills.

[Darragh]

what really?? that's it, they're dead to me

[Gajb]

I can't believe they made an appearance on the Hills.

She didn't mean she actually didn't believe it...

[Dee]

Hahahaha, yeah, it wasn't much of an appearance, but they were there in all their glory!!

[Gajb]

So tonight Matt's voice was fucked from food poisoning and he sang about 3 songs. Dan sang everything else with help from the crowd. The venue held 800 people and it was jam packed, it was like a cross between The Hub and Whelans. No barrier in place and security had to break apart a fight in the middle of Private Eye. They didn't play the current single Help Me, or We've Had Enough or Sadie.
Only 2 songs off Crimson were played, as From Here To Infirmary.

[Gilhooley]

Can't wait for this now. Anyone know who the support is? Apologies if it's already been mentioned.

Alkaline Trio - Calling All Skeletons (http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=9wOH7lxkJ9M)

[James]

I think I'm gonna head to Outbreak instead of this. I love Alkaline Trio, but I'd rather not destroy my memory of them by seeing them live since every video I've seen lately of them has shown how poor they've become live. That, and I'm dying to see Crowd Control and Exploding Birds again.

[x2saul4x]

I also bought said 7''

I don't see how watching a video of a band can prepare you for the experience of actually seeing them.

[Panda]

Seriously, anyone that goes to Alkaline Trio instead of Outbreak is being a dick. With Mac and the lads bringing bands over a lot more, the group of show going people is growing, but if there is no commitment to the scene, then it may as well not happen. It's unfortunate that Alkaline Trio are on at the same time, as I would also like to see them, but your friends need your help in breaking even, so they can continue to bring bands over as regularly as they do.

I don't know why you insist on trying to talk to and about me to other people, so I guess we can just put both down to life's great mysteries. I've seen them live before, and the videos prove that they haven't improved live, plus I'd rather see the other bands playing that night. Don't question my motives. I don't question you for being such a goon.

Comeback Kid?

[goo]

I was going to say an attitude like Paul's is why I don't go to gigs...but nobody would believe that.

[Eddie]

Telling people they have a responsibility to go to gigs is a load of shit, ugh, pressuring people into being "committed to the scene" is such a deterrant.

Wouldn't letting people choose for themselves be less Nazi like?

[Carpo]

Im gonna try go to Outbreak for a bit and then leg it to catch Alkaline Trio. Just really wanna see Apes of Wrath. But that bullshit about being commited to the scene is shit. If someone wants to see their favourite band, so fucking be it. Calling people on not going to shows is fucking bullshit.

Haha, you can obviously judge a band's live show by a video.

I dunno - but your mates at Blast decide to set up a gig (on purpose) to clash with Demented Fest, so that kids would not go to Demented Fest - that seems like a pricky thing to do. Just in case kids go to a Demented show and enjoy it. Whatever you wanna say, you know that show was set up to compete with Demented Fest which was arranged for months in advance.

As for Comeback Kid, Gav - that is one of the very limited number of gigs I haven't gone to in the last 2 years, so get fucked. I didn't go to another show that night, I went home after working all day. I also seem to remember hearing that the show was a success - something which Outbreak doesn't seem to look likely doing.

As true as this may be, it really has fuck all to do with the topic at hand. You can't just shrug off what he has to say because he's in Boy Turns Hero. You can, however, shrug it off because he's Goc.

Thats not on
I wont be going to Alkaline Trio but I might not go to outbreak but Im not going to feel guilty about it
The amount of touring bands in the last while has made this totally unrealistic

[goo]

I hate being around strangers and people who sort of/almost know me, each in different ways, and these gigs are always overflowing with both.
