Every Thug Needs An Official Alkaline Trio Thread

[Dead Star]

Right, Could anybody here please send me Disc 2 of Crimson, I've been trying to get it for so long now.

[Tooth Ache]

Disc 2?

[TakeWarning]

There's a disc 2 to Crimson?

[billiejoe84]

:eek:


Etc.

[Dead Star]

The special edition...

[poprocks&coke]

... with the acoustic version of Sadie.


I can send it, if you want to wait for aaaaages while my computer uploads it.

?

[HitHardDrums55]

can somebody upload the Alkaline Trio song from the Cursed soundtrack? I don't want to buy the whole CD (iTunes won't let me buy just one song from that soundtrack and i dont know/like most of the bands on there) and it's not coming up on Limewire. I have the original Fine Without You on the split CD w/ OMA

Fine Without You (Carmen Rizzo/Jed Smith Indian Summer Remix)

^that's the full name of the song on the CD. once i have that i will have everything except the stuff on the new Burn single, i think.

[Untitled]

I just saw Burn for the first time, cool video.

[HitHardDrums55]

burn IS a cool video. i want the remixes of burn from the single and the remix of fine without you from cursed but i cant find them anywhere w/o having to buy the whole album

[irishbasketcase]

im going to the dublin gig tonight, i cant wait, anyone know whos supporting

[poprocks&coke]

I was supposed to be seeing them on Friday, but it sold out. Me and my friends had a party for Matt's birthday though.


Yes, I am sad and obsessive. :upset:

Does anyone have the For Your Lungs Only EP?

[CrimbleVan]

i might be seeing them with Against Me! on 4/15

still not sure tho

[Polyamarous]

I didnt really like the bonus edition of Crimsons second disk, except I thought the demo version for Dethbed was better than the normal version.
I'd be curious to get the burn single and listen to the test icicles remix, I'm not one for remixes but I really like test icicles, shame they're splitting.
Frankly I wished they had supported Alkaline Trio in bristol instead of ****ing Sunshine, they suck so much arse.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Test Icicles are splitting?!

w00t!

[Flex of the Yellow]

Sunshine weren't too bad, although not heard anything by Test Icicles.

[HitHardDrums55]

can anybody upload the remix of Fine Without You from the Cursed soundtrack? on iTunes, i have to buy the whole CD when all i want is alkaline trio and it won't come up on limewire

Did you get that ordinary boys album, dear?

[poprocks&coke]

Are all the songs from the EP on the S/T album? Cause I have that.

Butler: did you email it? Cause I don't fink it worked. :upset: Sorry.

[shangbang]

Yea the songs on the ep were Snake Oil Tanker, Southern Rock, Cooking Wine and, For Your Lungs Only

[HitHardDrums55]

isn't the self-titled just all the pre-Goddamnit EPs or whatever?

[Untitled]

yeah i put your email address in the bit to do it.

[shangbang]

isn't the self-titled just all the pre-Goddamnit EPs or whatever?

Yea its the For Your lungs Only ep, I Lied my Face Off ep and Sundials ep. Then Exploding Boy, My Friend Peter and 97 are from comps

[HitHardDrums55]

yeah, but for some reason i feel like i read (in the cover) that mike felumlee played some of the stuff, but it all sounds like glenn's drumming...so i'm most likely wrong...i'll look later, i'm too lazy to find the cover now

[shangbang]

I just read the cover now. It says Mike Felumlee was the drummer at the time of the release but didn't record anything on that album.

[HitHardDrums55]

ohhh ok thanks :) that explains quite a bit

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Lawl, I just saw the Burn video off of alkalinetrio.org and it is so lame. Matt looks like ****ing Marilyn Manson, though Derek and Dan are quite hawt. Other than that, what a lame setting and whatever. :thumb: minus the thumb and the wink and the smile. In other words, :mad: :smash: :eek:

Edit: Lawl, I can only use 4 smileys.

[xFEAR-AND-LOATHINGx]

hey....

Alkaline Trio is coming to town april 28th

im going cause against me! is playing

but ive never really listened to alkaline trio and i want to see if i like em, cause if I just happen too then it would be twice as awesome of a show

...recommend me some alkaline trio...

[HitHardDrums55]

you do like alkaline trio. but get blue in the face, '97, they'll probably play Radio, clavicle, cooking wine, sundials is good, and i hope they play it when i see em again i've been dying to see anybody play that song flawlessly on drums and if anybody can do it, derek can...time to waste was a sick opening song when i saw them during summer, burn, i dunno go back a few pages and find random song names, and listen to em...they're all good!

[Flex of the Yellow]

quick question, does anyone know what acoustic Matt plays?

[life of a dog]

matt plays washburn acoustics and dan plays gibson

[Masquearding Sam]

hey, im new. i think alkaline trio are great. they are satanists. wow this forum is big. but anyway, as i was saying, alkaline trio rock

[life of a dog]

welcome to the forums dude!!!!!!!
i dont think dan is a satanist but yeah, the trio kick ***!!!!

[Masquearding Sam]

i guess this is a non swearing forum. cheers for the welcome. still wanna be a satanist?

[Flex of the Yellow]

matt plays washburn acoustics and dan plays gibson
Thanks man :thumb:

*toddles off to Washburn's website like the little fan-boy he is :p *

[Dead Star]

I have a Washburn Bass.

Go me.

[Flex of the Yellow]

go you indeed

[HitHardDrums55]

welcome to the forums dude!!!!!!!
i dont think dan is a satanist but yeah, the trio kick ***!!!!
yeah Dan is the only non-satanist in Alk3...i have no idea if Glenn was or not, and i'm pretty sure Mike wasn't...for some reason i kind of think Mike Felumlee maybe is christian...but yeah Matt and Derek are card-carrying members of the church of satan. although i'm a christian i think satanism is a pretty interesting religion.

does anybody know where to get all the songs from the demo Weak Week was on?

[TakeWarning]

Seeing them live tomorrow afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111 1111111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Turbojugend]

I think Crimson is a far superior album to their older ones, especially the mixing on their 90's, early '00 stuff was terrible. Crimson is an addictive album and entertained me for a good week, but after giving it a month or two of rest and picking it up again it doesn't strike to me as anything special.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Mmhmm, I think that. I'm sure lots of other people do. I don't like Crimson, because all these faggots got the cd and are like, "OMG Alkaline Trio is like, soOoOo emo!!" and **** like that. I like their earlier albums, whether they are mixed properly or not, the songs are great.

[Alkaline Prime]

I love the more raw sound of the early albums. And don't get me wrong, I believe they put everything into Crimson (and good mourning..same complaint) but there jsut seems to be more passion on the old albums.
I miss the long intrumental powerchord sections that could take up half the song ala Nose over tail. I prefer Matts old lyrical style more (I mean wtf is crashing inside of you like motorbikes?!)
The guys are getting older and moving in a more alternative direction, I've got no problem with it, but I won't love it like I do the first 4 albums. I saw them live the other night and it was a fun night. They started with about 5 or so old songs, and then the newer stuff let me down slightly.

[HitHardDrums55]

yeah i pretty much like all their cds.

did they play sundials when you saw them?

last time i saw them they played jaked on green beers, and thats supposedly pretty rare according to the commentary on the live dvd...so that was fun. but i really wanna see derek play sundials on drums...thats by far the most challenging alk3 drum song. that and 97 can be tricky

[Lil]

Lol!!!

[TakeWarning]

Saw them yesterday.

It was awesome.

[Fire Away]

I missed out on seeing them in Melbourne. I'm a bit cut.

[TakeWarning]

Too bad, they said they won't be back for 2 more years.

[poprocks&coke]

Lol!!!

YOU HAVE MY NAME!!

:eek:

[Dead Star]

YOU HAVE MY NAME!!

:eek:

Your the only Lily 'round these parts.

:p

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

i love alkaline trio! one of my favourite bands! i cant really decide what album i like best because they are all so great. They are immense song writers!! one of the best IMO. can i just say.. alkaline trio are not pop punk tho..they are punk (thats wot i think anyway) Matt and Dan both have such cool, good voices and they go so well together. ALK3 ROCK!!

[B]

Why are you saying a bunch of bands aren't pop-punk when they are.

Alk3 are not punk, at all.

[fatwreckpunk]

Why are you saying a bunch of bands aren't pop-punk when they are.

Alk3 are not punk, at all.

If thats the case I can say Busted are punk then can I...:smash:

[B]

Um no. That's like me calling Britney Spears melodic hardcore.

[Ross]

You mean she isn't?

*rushes to re-organise music collection*

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

Sorry made a mistake, i take it back, they are. Did any1 go and see them in glasgow a while back? and do u no the next time they will be playing near there? i want to see them so bad

[shangbang]

From the official website

"Join the BLOOD PACT and help the band choose their set-lists for the upcoming "Occult Roots" tour!! In addition to performing the "Goddamnit" album in it's entirety, the band is leaving it up to you to tell them what to play. Get the details here."

Awesome. Goddamnit in its enitirety will be amazing

Enjoy Your Day...
I would kill to see Dan play that song solo acoustic.

[Flex of the Yellow]

As would I my friend, as would I....:upset:
I'm guessing this isn't UK?

[shangbang]

Enjoy Your Day...
I would kill to see Dan play that song solo acoustic.

Yea that should be amazing. I can't wait

[HitHardDrums55]

i wanna see alk3 play sundials. that would make my day, even on video i dont care i just wanna see them perform it any way i can.

[Flex of the Yellow]

Yeah, that would rule

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

what is everyones favourite alk3 album? i really think each album is amazing and can not decide...

[chumpradio]

Probably MICF, but they are all amazing albums.
Least favourite is Crimson probably, although it is still amazing.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

i was thinkin MICF as well..really really good album. i love crimson but then again i love them all, its too hard decision to make

[shangbang]

My favorite is probably MICF followed by FHTI. They're all amazing though

[HitHardDrums55]

goddamnit and self titled tie...then probably crimson for a CLOSE 2nd/3rd...i'd say the rest are about equal...on a scale of 1-10 the lowest alk3 get in my book is probably 8.5

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

MICF and GM for me.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

does any1 know any good bands similar to alk3?

[billiejoe84]

Lily once sent me a track by Black Sunday... they were a bit Alk3-esque. But not totally... I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who sounds totally like them.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

not some1 totally like them but similar. thanks ill give them a try

[chumpradio]

Hot Water Music are a great band, but their lyrics aren't like Alk3's really. But music-wise, they write a lot of stuff similar to Matt's songs.

[shangbang]

The Alk3 show I was gonna go to sold out :(

Oh and as for bands that sound like them Hot Water Music instantly come to mind but they were already mentioned. Maybe The Lawrence Arms or The Loved Ones? You can also check out Slapstick and Tuesday which are Dan's old bands.

[Rise Me Up]

I downloaded 7 Alk3 albums today, and I have to say, I like the Crimson the best.

[HitHardDrums55]

one man army did a split with alk3...dont really sound like each other, but they're still good

derek played with the suicide machines and recorded Tomorrow by Morrissey
dan's previous bands have already been mentioned
matt does solo stuff, and i cant remember the names of his previous bands
mike felumlee (from here to infirmary drummer) was the original drummer for the smoking popes

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

thanks guys, got alot to try out!

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

did alk3 and hot water music not do something together?

[chumpradio]

did alk3 and hot water music not do something together?
They have a split cd, and they have toured together in the past.
I have a live mp3 of Matt Skiba playing Radio with HWM instead of the rest of Alk3.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

ye the split cd thought so.. radio is one of my fav alk3 songs!:)

[shangbang]

You should also check out the Dan Adriano/Mike Felumlee split cd

[HitHardDrums55]

and at least the skiba section of the matt skiba/kevin seconds split

[Oz Rembrandt]

I didnt really like Mikes half of the Dan split. Dan's work is always genius though.

[POINTLESS5448]

i jsut found out that the suicide machines old drummer now plays for this band. cool.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Derek Grant was in the Suicide Machines? Didn't know that. Damn.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

derek grant is the best! hes so freaky on the live halloween dvd:)

[Oz Rembrandt]

He's a really nice guy in real life. But yeah, on the Metro DVD, he does look evil as fook, its ace!

I've met him, and he runs the Blood Pact forum.

Blood Pact ftw

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

uv met him?? when, were, how? well arent u lucky:amaze: have u met the others no?

[Oz Rembrandt]

uv met him?? when, were, how? well arent u lucky:amaze: have u met the others no?

Signing tent at the Leeds Festival last year, I was majorly hyped :D

I met all 3, and told Dan that he was my idol. Wewt.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

[Bad Blood]

Sorry, but I can't take you seriously with a name like that. I know you're not talking to me, but yeah...

/on topic.

I haven't listened to Alk3 in ages, properly.

/puts on GM..

Ahh, that's better :)

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

[B]

Your name is annoying is what he means.

[Oz Rembrandt]

your so lucky! what did he say? did u see them live as well?

I've seen them live 3 times now... great everytime. Dan thanked me for saying that, but he wouldn't let me kiss his head... darn.

The guys mean, the upper/lower case switching of your name is difficult to read, and is something usually related to Billie Joe Fangirls. No offence.

[Bad Blood]

Yeah. Its just TaLkInG LiEk dIs iZ VeRy aNnOyInG.

the reason i did that is because the word written normal was already taken and i wanted that name.. sorry if thats a problem but its only my nickname on the site doesnt change me.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Back to the Trio. I hope there DIY tour comes to the UK. I mean, 10 songs of the Blood Pact members choice, plus the entire of Goddammit?

:eek:

[Oz Rembrandt]

WHAAT?!

Its happening in the US now!

They havetohavetohaveto come to England with this tour!! I'll die without it!!

Derek said they where recording the tour for a new DVD too... maybe...

My choice would beeeeee-

Goodbye Forever
The Metro
I Lied My Face Off
You've Got So Far to Go
If You Had a Bad Time
Mr Chainsaw
I'm Dying Tomorrow
Hell Yes
Maybe I'll Catch Fire
All on Black

Man, THAT was a hard choice for those 10!

[HitHardDrums55]

no sundials?

[Oz Rembrandt]

Its a top tune, but for my money, I rather hear more Dan tracks.

[Dead Star]

Oz, wheres the Armageddon dude.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Oz, wheres the Armageddon dude.

GAH!! Damnit... Maybe Armageddon instead of All on Black... I DONT KNOW!!!

Yea I think he tore a vocal chord during that show

[chumpradio]

May have to watch it tonight. Haven't watched it in aaaaaages.
May have a pop punk dvd night tonight;

Alk3
JEW
SoCo
NFG
Sum 41
Blink

I planned to watch NFG's dvd actually, because I may not really listen to them anymore, but it's a pretty funny DVD. May stick that on before Alk3.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

later in the metro dvd they stop half way through a song for ages cos one of them had too take a piss (cant remember which one) :p Matts voice usual does sound a wee bit dodgy live though. but i love it like that

Yeh, i think that was the encore anyway, matt came on and derek needed a piss, but i think it they was due to go off anyways.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

it cant have been because they play loads of songs after it and wen they come back on after the "piss break" matt says "sorry but derek needed to pee"

[chumpradio]

it cant have been because they play loads of songs after it and wen they come back on after the "piss break" matt says "sorry but derek needed to pee"
Nope, that's the encore.
That's why the inverted cross's colour changes, and the crowd cheer for more.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

how come it was only about half way through then? :confused:

[chumpradio]

how come it was only about half way through then? :confused:
It wasn't. If I recall, it is 4 or 5 songs before the end. They do quite a long encore.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

oh right i thought it was only about half way through, still quite a long encore

[Permanent Solution]

I'm seeing Alk3 tomorrow, woot.

/throws on Alk3 mix my gf made me

[Mute Print]

Is that the tour with Against Me! ?

[Permanent Solution]

Yup yup...it's like the 3rd day of the tour or so. It's gonna kick so much ***

[Mute Print]

Nice. I'm seeing that tour April 20th. It'll be pretty sweet, even though I'm not too familiar with Alk3's music.

[Permanent Solution]

Start listening man! It's good stuff :)

You got like 3 weeks to get acquainted.

[Mute Print]

It's funny that just a couple months ago, I hated Alk3. :p

I'm glad they announced that they will be playing Godammit in it's entirety. At least, if nothing else, I can try to get to know that album.

[Permanent Solution]

Wait, they did? When?

Crap, that's the only album of theirs I don't have!

[Mute Print]

A couple weeks ago, I think.

You can get it from me on Soulseek. Just give me like 5 minutes to get on.

[Permanent Solution]

Eh, I'm sure it's readily available...I'm starting it up right now though lol

Crap though I'ma feel so out of place all of a sudden! :( /listens to the album on repeat all day

[Mute Print]

Well, if you don't find someone faster, feel free to grab it from me. I'm getting on now.

I'll be way out of place considering the only reason I bought tickets was to see Against Me! :p

[Permanent Solution]

So funny story, I do have goddamnit, I just don't have it on CD. I've listened to it a few times because I recognize it. Whew...crisis averted :p

Against Me will be good too but Alk3 will totally rock. Last time I saw them it was a crap venue so it'll be soooo much better.

[Mute Print]

Hahaha.

Against Me! rules live. I saw them in September. It was one of the most fun times I've ever had.

Alk3 should be pretty good as long as I brush up on some of their music.

[Permanent Solution]

Yeah, they were good. Not near the top for me but definitely rockin'.

Last time I saw Alk3 was funny because they were opening for MCR and man...Alk3 fans were so brutal to those kids till they gtfo of the pit hahaha

[Mute Print]

Hahaha.

Unfortunately, I would probably come off as one of the "kids". :(

For some reason, I always imagine Alk3 fans being similar to MCR fans. They seem to have a following of young girls.

That is just based off the fact that there are a handful of girls who like them at my school, though.

[Permanent Solution]

No no, MCR fans are 12-15 year old girls, and thus just in the way.

Alk3 fans are 17-20 year old girls and actually have fun in the pit. Plus usually they have bfs with them...

It's ok though, unless you looked like a total scenester they probably weren't trying to knock you out...

[Mute Print]

I don't look too much like a scenester.

I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to pits anyway. I always want to go in, and usually have fun if I make up my mind to just go for it, but a lot of times I choose not to. I'll definitely be having a good time at Alk3 though, seeing as it's during spring break.

[Permanent Solution]

Dude yeah man, I'm always in the pit and I am actually a pretty tiny guy. It's just so much more fun though. Might as well enjoy yourself if you're paying to see the show!

[chumpradio]

Pits are great fun.
When I saw Alk3 though there wasn't much of a pit. My best was either Millencolin or The Offspring, both of those had great pits.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Hmm, there was a great Trio pit a Leeds Fest, but when I saw them at newcastle, all the scene kids stood around for anything that wasnt of Crimson. Me and my friends went nuts for Clavicle, but half the 12 years didn't even know it...

[Pazz]

I have stopped listening to Alkaline Trio. They were dominating my last.fm list for a while and I haven't listened to them in a long time.

[Bad Blood]

I haven't listneed to them properly for absolutely ages, but they're still top of my last fm by hundreds and hundreds :)

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

im listenin to them right now:p there one of my fav bands

[pixiesfanyo]

i hear alkaline trio is pretty bad live.

i am slowly getting back into them, but some of their material is just bad.

(see: Maybe I'll Catch Fire)

[Ross]

If only last.fm worked with SonicStage <_< Damn me and my idiocy in ripping everything to Atrac3.

I love a good pit. The funniest ones I often find begin with a good trampling of the 12-15 yr old scenesters, then end in a mad skanky beating where the fat guy gives you a massive sweaty hug.

[Permanent Solution]

You've heard wrong.

They played the crappiest venue I've ever been to and were good. I have higher expectations at this good venue.

[Oz Rembrandt]

You've heard wrong.
.

So true. One of the best live bands I've seen, every time.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

i havent seen them live but have seen live videos. they are definitely not crap.

No way.

Radio is awesome, the title track is good but a lot of it lacks.

[chumpradio]

No way.

Radio is awesome, the title track is good but a lot of it lacks.
Well, the UK version is.
It features the normal 10 tracks, plus has bonus songs of This Is Getting Over You, I Lied My Face Off, Snake Oil Tanker and Goodbye Forever.
They really make it my favourite Alk3 cd to put on, although it really does depend on my mood.
My favourite varies, but more often than not, it's MICF.

oic. That's cool. Some of those bonus tracks are real good too.

I still prefer Crimson and GM though :-\

[Oz Rembrandt]

I love Trio albums. End of.

[Permanent Solution]

The older ones are growing on me, I used to see them as like 2.5-3/5 albums but I like them more now.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I love them in a different way to the newer stuff, because it is pretty different material.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

I love them in a different way to the newer stuff, because it is pretty different material.

ye i agree.. i couldnt decide a favourite album, they are all so amazing and as equally good

[poprocks&coke]

Goddamnit is my favourite :D

And when it comes to moshpits, it depends on:
1) How rough it is
2) What kind of shoes I'm wearing.

123, Boots FTW

Best pit was at SOAD last year when they played Sugar. It just sorta widened all the way through the song without any one doing anything but on "i sit...." WHAM everyone just charges to the centre.:chug:
I swear that was planned weeks beforehand :smash:

[Oz Rembrandt]

And when it comes to moshpits, it depends on:

I'm Claustraphobic, so Mosh pits are usually a no-go, but it depends on the band. I've forced my fear outta the way for the Trio, and for some other bands.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

im going to see tool in june and then iron maiden ni december so im in for a few pits:p iv never been in one so i have no clue

[Oz Rembrandt]

Maiden is one pit. When I saw them, pits just happened at random, anywhere. I crowd surfed to the Trooper.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

everyone else has told me that there arnt really any (any mad ones anyway) at maiden

[Get Fighted]

Are you seeing them with Trivium? Because my mate said he is seeing them with Trivium at the MEN.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

yeah but im seeing them at the SECC in glasgow

[Get Fighted]

Rito.

[billiejoe84]

im going to see tool in june and then iron maiden ni december so im in for a few pits:p iv never been in one so i have no clue

Tool = probably not the best choice for your first ever pit. Unless you want it to be your last.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

uhh..ok now im ****tin myself lol. im in sittin anyway but we might try and get down to the standin bit

[Ross]

Jumping the barriers all the way.

If you do get down somehow, stand back till you get used to the feel of it all. And if you get caught up in it, flow with it. Going in trying to fight everyone you come across will:

a) make you real tired really fast
b) get you a roundhouse kick to the face.

[Oz Rembrandt]

b) get you a roundhouse kick to the face.

This is all true.

[Ross]

Yup. That happened when Oz went to see The Spice Girls and he just wasn't prepared for the pit there. He thought he'd seen it all after Slayer, but he was wrong...

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Why does everyone always try to start fights in Moshes? :confused:

What happened to the good ol' days when people just jumped up n down, and occasionally ran around in a circle...?

And the best mosh I've ever been in was 'The Black Veil', by BCE...

It went OFF!

But I came home with one shoe...

[Oz Rembrandt]

Yup. That happened when Oz went to see The Spice Girls and he just wasn't prepared for the pit there. He thought he'd seen it all after Slayer, but he was wrong...

Still can't believe Slayer Supported the Spice Girls. That was immense.

[Ross]

Aye. On a similar vein, I can't believe MCR are allowed on the Main Stage at leeds/reading.

But... we're gonna have so much fun stamping on emos :D (even if the music sucks =p)

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

MCR sucks ***!! i cant stand them. i didnt really plan on going straight in and fightin everyone at tool since im only 15 and quite small :p not a wimp either tho..

[poprocks&coke]

Still can't believe Slayer Supported the Spice Girls. That was immense.

:lol:


/is picturing the situation.




When I saw the Trio, this guy jumped up on stage then stage dived, but the security guards grabbed him by the ankles as he did, so he smashed his face on the bar. Owwww.

[Dead Star]

Best pit I've been in was Less Than Jake.

And IMO Godammit is their worst album. Or my leats favourite anyway.

[billiejoe84]

LTJ pits = \m/


Although my best would be Capdown or Mad Caddies. See the ska link.


So other people are going to Leeds? This year, once and for all, we really should arrange an MX meet-up. It's been bandied about in previous years, and, curse my phone battery, almost happened last year, but I say we do it this time.


Yeah.

I'm game for a meet-up.

And Capdown DO lead to awesome pits.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I lost my Leeds Ticket... stupid Meanfiddler.

[Pazz]

Currently listening to From Here to Infirmary. Oh how I love this album.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I listened to that this Morning!

Its been Alkaline Trio and ALL all morning.

[Untitled]

Ok...

Suggest

1- LIVE album name for the Crimson tour for me.
2- A realistic set list for the Crimson tour too.

The lucky winners suggestions will go on a fabulose peace of art work.

Goodbye.

[Oz Rembrandt]

How about:
1. Curch and Destroy. Its what Crimson was rumoured to be called before release.

2. Say, 15 songs?
Erm...
Time To Waste
Clavicle
She Took Him to the Lake
Maybe I'll Catch Fire
The Poison
Private Eye
You've Got So Far to Go
Mercy Me
Back to Hell
Burn
This Could be Love
We've Had Enough
All on Black
I Lied My Face Off
Radio

I'm pretty sure I've seen them play all of those songs at least once.

[billiejoe84]

Butler, you wanna do some album art for my band's demo? I will pay you precisely nothing, as I can't afford it, but hey, you'll get credit, at least. And you'll be helping me out :)

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

OK, so I'm pretty pissed. Alkaline Trio played here Tuesday, and I told my mom to buy my ticket at the beginning of the year when I first heard about them coming. I never got a ticket so I didn't get to go :( And it was the night before i had to go have surgery so I was really looking forward to it to keep my mind off something bad. Is this true that they're releasing a new concert DVD?

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

not that i know of..? are they??

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

I could have sworn I saw something on here or somewhere that Alk3 is releasing another concert DVD, but I'm not 100% positive. This was back before my other name got banned.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

well if u find out post it cause ill be wanting it:p

HitHardDrums55

I got banned for a stupid reason, actually. In the Pit there was a thread with all these links to random pictures and someone was like "oh god i just saw 0205" so I got curious and went to that image on the site they were getting them from (turns out it was a girl pooping in another girls mouth...quite gross) and somebody posted a picture of a girl with massive cameltoe...so I replied to that "that's cute, but not as cute as (insert link to girl pooping in other girls mouth)" So i get banned permanently on my other name...for mentioning the number of the picture where you can easily change it in any other link from that site, shouldn't the other person have gotten at least a temporary ban? Oh well, I was getting sick of that name anyway...

That would have been me. Derek said they're filming the current Occult Roots tour and some other goodies for a possible DVD release the end of 2006. The tour has the whole of Goddamnit being played, so the DVD will be incredible i reckon.

P.s: Matt Skiba's new signiture Washburn guitar! (http://www.washburn.com/artists/mattskiba.aspx)

I don't like Washburns, but thats nice.

Anything you can come up with is welcome. Surely can't be worse than the frankly laughable effort my bassist made at designing a logo. As you may recall, we are Wake Up Call. Do with it as you will, sir.

Any ideas at all? It'd help me out, i dont get thaught how to just come up with millions of ideas till i start uni, i cant wait for that.

I'll think tonight :chug:

[billiejoe84]

Yeah, I understand. We haven't really got any ideas for how we want it to look which has kinda been the problem so far. Something that fits in with the feel of our music (which is pop-punk), I guess, but I dunno how you'd define that. Sorry....

[Untitled]

Cartoony/Comic book style is always good for pop-punk i think, like RBF - Cheer up, or Bouncing souls - How i spent my summer vacation, i dunno, ill have a think.

[billiejoe84]

Yeah, I love Cheer Up's cover. Well, whatever you can think of will be good, I'm sure.

i actually think it could have been worse than *******, mostly due to the fact that it's animated and very graphic.

and to oz: thanks for the info about the possible dvd, i couldnt find it for like 10 minutes in here so i gave up but i was 99% sure it was in here...is that blood pact news? or is it on their site?

EDIT: I just read the article on the site with the pic of Skiba's guitar...does anybody have the song Demons Away available to upload?

Yeah, its Blood Pact exclusive. Its just Derek filling us in on ideas they have bouncing around.

And no, I havn't heard that song :upset:

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

it's Skiba's solo thing, apparently. I haven't seen the CD around anywhere, and I know it's not on iTunes. I don't have Limewire anymore, but I doubt I'd find it there.

What's your favorite Skiba song (not his solo versions of Trio songs), everyone?

[Oz Rembrandt]

The City that Day

[chumpradio]

I like either Good ****ing Bye, or Demons Away.

[Bad Blood]

Demons away.

I love that song.

[chumpradio]

The chorus is great, I don't quite know why though, it just gives me a tingly feeling below the belt.

"But if you let me stay over,
I'll try to keep you safe,
I've got an army of skeletons,
To chase your demons away"

Just the way Matt sings it turns some really cheesy lyrics into an amazing chorus.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

i like Soul To Keep...can anybody upload Demons Away for me?

[poprocks&coke]

They're re-releasing Goddamnit


OMG. It's the 10-year anniversary! Wow, them bitches is oooooooold.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

alkaline trios 10 year anniversary?

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

any extra songs? or just better quality recording, and with derek on drums? 'cause i don't know about the UK but in the US, Goddamnit never went out of print...

Itll just be re-masterd, the cover might be slgihtly different, maybe couple of demos, or extra cd, you know, that sorta stuff.

[Oz Rembrandt]

They're re-releasing Goddamnit


OMG. It's the 10-year anniversary! Wow, them bitches is oooooooold.

I knew about this a while ago!

I thought Goddamnit! came out in 1998... so the 10th Anniversary would be 2008...

Oh wait, their first demo tape was released in 1996... makes sense then.

[Johnny Quest.]

Good ****ing Bye, so great and In Your Wake, that's great too.

[setfiretoflamesx]

Alkaline Trio is an amazing band. Private Eye is probably my favorite song.

[Mute Print]

I'm leaving in just over an hour to go see them. Hopefully it will be good.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

tell us how it was when u return:)

[Mute Print]

Shall do. :)

I'm not big into Alk3, but I've been liking them a lot more as of late, so I'm sure it'll be a good time.

Did you give me Goddamnit!?

[Chaos]

I'm going to see the Trio tonight, it's funny because I don't really care but I used to be really into Alkaline trio and was obsessed with the idea of going to seem em live but I never have, but that'll change tonight.

So I Was wondering, has anyone ever seen Alkaline trio live or seen em play recently? am I in for a good show?

EDIT: dips, Alkaline trio is pop punk?

Sweet.

[Kif]

I saw them last year. Wasn't anything too special really, although they were pressured by someone in the crowd to play "Warbrain". They hadn't practised it in a long time, but it was great to hear that song live, one of my favourites by them. I got their autographs as well, which is a bonus I guess.

[Chaos]

Wow I made a thread, it got moved to another forum then shoved into an "official thread"

...

gg

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

would you guys be mad or think it would be cool if Richard Cheese did an Alk3 cover? that guy does some insane covers...(i hate slipknot but...) he did a good cover of one of their songs, did a good cover of enter sandman...great cover of come out and play (the offspring), from what i've heard of it, his cover of feelin' this is good too...so i know he does the pop-punk stuff, and doesn't have a problem with swearing (the slipknot song was People = Sh!t and no i'm not saying they or metallica are pop-punk) so i don't think it would be awkward for him to do one

it'd be stupid because Alkaline trio isn't as popular as those other bands.

imo

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

i think it would be hilarious, iv only heard him do a cover of chop suey by SOAD and it was the funniest thing iv ever heard, i never realised he done loads of covers..?

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

well, he did milkshake...and i'd never even heard of whoever the hell sings milkshake until after that song

[Oz Rembrandt]

Did you give me Goddamnit!?

I sure did.

So I Was wondering, has anyone ever seen Alkaline trio live or seen em play recently? am I in for a good show?

Vincent Avatar ftw!

I saw them in November, and they were ****ing awesome. Matt tore his vocal chords, so Dan sang the entire set, which was great, cause I prefer Dan's voice to Matts anyway. It was awesome.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

^was it dan's songs, or did he sing some of matt's songs too? 'cause i know they change the set around on the spot sometimes

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

tbh i prefer matts voice, but they both have great voices and they go so great together

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

yeah, their voices really compliment each other a lot...and i too prefer matt's voice over dan's...i know there's been discussion of this a while ago in here, but i think derek really should have a full song with him on lead vocals, even if it has to be acoustic...or i even think it'd be cool if he played guitar and skiba played drums for a song...just cause it'd be something they usually don't do

[Mute Print]

Woah, an MXer was at the show I was at tonight? Wow.

Anyway, the show was great. Here is a link to a complete review:

He sang all of Matt's songs.

[Kif]

Yeah, and they definately did. I have it on video from my cameraphone. They had a second guitarist come out to play the lead as well since Matt forgot how.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

oh righhr ight, hmm i dunno why i can't remember it then.

[Permanent Solution]

I think Dan's voice has a nicer tone to it though Matt's voice is better for the Punkier stuff.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

I think Dan's voice has a nicer tone to it though Matt's voice is better for the Punkier stuff.

exactly. Matt's voice is more scruffy (but in a good way) and punky, which i like better. But Dan has a nicer voice. I love songs that they sing a line each such as Back To hell, theyve voices are great together!

[jonnyward]

exactly. Matt's voice is more scruffy
its just a result of years of smoking, heavy smoking or not i dont know

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

chain smoking. i think he quit smoking though. i know the whole band quit drinking.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Matt didn't completely quit drinking.

At one show, he said that he quit drinking and that he wasn't supposed to have anything. But a guy bought him a beer. And he drank it. :shrug:
