Every Thug Needs An Official Alkaline Trio Thread

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

oh, then they at least cut down

[Oz Rembrandt]

They have no reason to be out and getting wasted all the time now. they've grown up, and Matt and Derek are married. They're not the kids they were.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

i thought dan was married too?

[poprocks&coke]

His wife's called Sunshine.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

Alot of bands seem to maturing and growing up now.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

probably because the newer bands suck and have no true creativity (for the most part at least), so all the bands who have been around for years of course are staying big, while newer bands have a popularity level very similar to a mountain. they grow and get to the point where they want to be. then they truly just don't try anymore, therefore their popularity falls greatly, and sometimes kind of falls like a cliff....hopefully a new band with a lot of creativity will come out soon.

[B]

haha ok there bud.

Get your head out of your *** and have a look around and find some REAL new bands :)

[Oz Rembrandt]

I didn't mention Dan's marrige coz I wasn't sure...

I got my head out, and looked for some real new bands. I didn't like them.

[CrimbleVan]

I saw them on 4.15

twas amazing

It was my 3rd (?) time seeing them and they still amazed me

[Bad Blood]

I've really gone off Alk3 recently :( I need to hear some new stuff.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

my friend ordered me the 2 disc burn vinyl's! which is cool...i'm just gonna pay him back when they come in, cause my parents wont order me anything, so i'm gonna see if he can order me some more vinyl's and i'll probably end up buying his record player, if i don't get a really good one for my birthday or something...for now i'm just using my brothers

are there any alkaline trio vinyl's with really rare stuff (other than the halloween 7") that i could get?

[Surtr]

I got Crimson the other day. I love it, it's a really good album.

[Ross]

Armageddon is a damn fine song.

I've been listening to FHTI a lot over the past few days, I'd forgotten how good it was.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Armageddon! Let the Light in!
Before we say goodbye, give us something to believe in!

Yeah, I love that song.

[poprocks&coke]

I'm bumming over Hell Yes at the moment.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Yeeeeeah BOI!

In Lillies Case, girl. Hell Yes is the secks.

[Ross]

Oh God, we caught Oz in one of those moods <_<

I'm still staring at Borders and Boundaries, I really should just put it in my bag. But oh! The suspense you must feel!

[Untitled]

I finished my Alk-3 huge enormus billboard/poster thing today.

Its not an album cover as planed, but i might take a photo of the work, and use that as the album cover, which would look ace.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Pixplzbutlerthx

[Untitled]

I'll take pics on Monday/Tuesday when i set up my exhibition.

[Pazz]

Litening to Crimson right now.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Litening to Crimson right now.

You enjoying?

Butler: YAY! I look forward to 'em! :D

[Pazz]

You enjoying?

Always. I love that album.

[Untitled]

You enjoying?

Butler: YAY! I look forward to 'em! :D
Tomorrow, i will post.

I didnt put them up today because my teacher forgot the drill.

I made a new sign, originaly it was my big pictures of my mate, and a sign that says "alkaline trio"

But now, it says " Alkaline trio, live, Church and destroy" on 3 seperate peaces. I used the name you suggested too :chug:

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I haven't listened to the trio is months.

Oh i'm wearing they're t-shirt today, heh cool.

As promise, the picture was taken threw a window, so its a bit dirty.

[Oz Rembrandt]

****ing sweet!

[Ross]

Wow, that's awesome.

You did that? That's a freakin' amazing.

/shoulda done art <_<

EDIT: Just listened to Good Mourning from the daily upload.. The first song:

"I shat the bed, I laid there in it, thinkin' of you...
...wide awake for days"

Good album :thumb:

[Oz Rembrandt]

This Could be Love...

Love for Fire!

[Untitled]

Why thank you, im mad in love with it.

And yes, i definatly did it myself, the 2 people pictures took me about 20 hours or more to do each.

[Ross]

Wow, I want it. And I'm not even mad about Alk3.

[Untitled]

Well you cant, its at college, and i wont even see it agian untill about christmas i think. Im gonna have to dismantel it and bring it home then.

[Ross]

*bump*

Ok, so I'm labelling up my music collection. According to Amazon: Good Mourning, From Here To Infirmary and Maybe I'll Catch Fire were all released within about a week of eachother in 2003. Obviously they were re-released at this time, and Amazon appear to have no other dates. The official site is refusing to load.

Anyone got the real release years? I'm a git for wanted all my music sorted out.

EDIT: Never mind. The official site finally decided to load, damned flash.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I'm getting a bit more back into them now.

I've been listening to GM quite alot recently.

[Polyamarous]

I'm liking the TSOL cover.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

what do you guys think would be a good alk3 song for my ska band to cover? preferably with little to no swearing or at least something we can change...i was kind of thinking Maybe I'll Catch Fire, but i wanna know you guys' opinions on it...

If you wanna hear a sample of a little bit of what we sound like, our first song we wrote and recorded is on our myspace

http://www.myspace.com

we have 2 more songs finished and we're working on more (we've only been together for a little bit) and some of our stuff is definately darker and better than the song we have up. we need to get the newest song recorded, it's so sick. and there's a fill i came up with by watching derek on the halloween DVD

[Ross]

can you give a full myspace link so I can have a listen? :amaze:

I think This Could Be Love could work as a ska song. Have the horns playing the lead guitar riff, and change the guitar parts a bit. It could work out I guess.
That was the first one that came to mind.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

can you give a full myspace link so I can have a listen?

Oops, my bad!

http://www.myspace.com/riotonbroadway

Sorry about that...

[Ross]

With better recording quality, that'd be a lot better. But it's ok, for a first song :)

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

yeah i want drum mics for recording the drums...but i'm poor...and i feel like guitar and bass (quality-wise) sound good, and vocals are alright...we need some gain on his vocals though and he might take vocal lessons sometime in the near future...and we need a way to record trombone better....we're looking for a trumpet player but it's hard to find someone who's good at trumpet that we'd get along with

[chumpradio]

http://epitaph.com/artists/album/490

Hear a song from Matt's side project. I knew he was in Heavens, but I didn't know they had an album coming out. This song is alright, I like how it's different to the Trio, yet it is still obviously Matt.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

i like that a lot...any certain reason they're w/ epitaph? i'd think they'd be on vagrant or asian man

[Bad Blood]

Sweet, I didnt know about that.

[chumpradio]

It probably has something to do with Joe Seinbrick that they are on Epitaph. No idea who he is though.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

listning to goddammit now, loving it.

why is it that this band consign their best songs to compilations and b-sides. best examples being "warbrain" and "jaked on green beers"!?!?!

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

cause theyre ****ing awesome like that. they're allowed to.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Aaah Jaked on Green Beers... the Ultimate Anti-Love Song.

I've been neglecting the Trio recently...

/puts on MICF

Same here.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I don't listen to much Alk Trio.

Any recomendations?

[Untitled]

Personaly, i think From Here To Infermy is there best, so i would recomend that, i also think Good Mourning would be a good start.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Crimson is a great album too. More refined than the others. The first whole album that I listened to by them actually.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Cool, i'll check it out. :thumb:

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

get goddamnit. great album. or s/t...or all maybe?

[chumpradio]

Nah guys, Maybe I'll Catch Fire has to be their best cd.
Well, the UK version is, because it is the 10 tracks, and then has Goodbye Forever, Snake Oil Tanker, I Lied My Face Off and This Is Getting Over You as bonus tracks.

All of their albums are amazing though, so any would be a good choice.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

are the UK MICF versions of Goodbye Forever, Snake Oil Tanker, I Lied My Face Off, and This Is Getting Over You the same as on s/t or are they re-recorded?

[...someone®]

are the UK MICF versions of Goodbye Forever, Snake Oil Tanker, I Lied My Face Off, and This Is Getting Over You the same as on s/t or are they re-recorded?

If I remember correctly, They're the same versions.

[Flex of the Yellow]

I don't listen to much Alk Trio.

Any recomendations?
I quite like their eponymous album, but to start off maybe try Good Mourning or From Here to Infirmary. Both awesome albums. :)

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Good Mourning is my favourite. F'uck the haters.

[Oz Rembrandt]

If I remember correctly, They're the same versions.

They most certainly are. Blood Pact info has told me that they're planning on a re-release of Goddammit!

[Ross]

I swear I knew that already, and I'm not really into Alk3 anything like as much as you are. Perhaps you told me.

When did you find this out?

Are they planning to re-record it or just release it and be lame?

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

hey oz, has there been anymore word of a DVD release?

[Oz Rembrandt]

Nothing as of yet, they still have some Occult Root's tour dates in Canada yet. They'll probably work on it after a break.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

cool.

[Fish]

very..

[poprocks&coke]

I wish they'd hurry their arses up and sort out a UK tour... I'm getting impatient.

[Flex of the Yellow]

They had one in November last year. Still, here's hoping, eh?

[poprocks&coke]

Yeah but I need to see them agaaaain! And they've just dont a US tour... it's our turn now!


Grrr.

Plus this time I can afford to go more than once.

[shangbang]

hey oz, has there been anymore word of a DVD release?

Interview with Derek where he brings the DVD up. (http://www.thepunksite.com/interviews.php?page=alkalinetrio)

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

awesome interview! thank ya.

[Storm In A Teacup]

"Crimson" is easily their best album. I wrote a short review of it too.

Pop punk used to be a love/hate relationship for me. I once despised the genre, but then became almost enthralled by it. I’ve come out of both phases to become a much more matured music critic of the genre. I’m indifferent to a lot of what it has to offer, but there are still a few bands that hook me line and sinker. Alkaline Trio is at the forefront of those bands with their latest release being an absolute standout record. Pop punk is known for being simple, but this band takes that simplicity and downgrades a few notches. Someone who had been playing guitar for only a week could be easily play a lot of the bands catalogue. So why am I so charmed by the tracks on “Crimson”? It may be hard to believe, but there are several reasons that manage to surface. For one, while the guitar riffs are some of the simplest ever, they do not get old. Another thing is the bass playing. Daniel Andriano supports most songs with an interesting bass line that is usually high in the mix of the songs. Then there is the fact that even though frontman Matt Skiba isn’t one of the best singers and can’t add variety to the songs he still manages to be irresistibly catchy. Bassist Daniel contributes his brassier voice quite a bit to some songs. “Mercy Me” is a prominent song on “Crimson” because Daniel and Matt commit a dual vocal attack for the whole song. With a higher and lower vocal attack together it makes for one of the most memorable tracks. “Crimson” is an incredible album that never lacks. Sadly, it just may be both the most overlooked and underrated album of 2005.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

It's not really their best...but they have gotten better, musically.

Nice blurb, Ian. That was a blurb, right?

[Storm In A Teacup]

It was a blurb before they got integrated with reviews. Now it's a review.

And thanks, Chels. :)

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Mmhmm, no problem.

On the subject of Alk3, I haven't listened to them in forever. I don't know why.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

You didn't mention Derek Grant and his great drumming abilities in your review. But other than that it was a good one.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Can't have it all I'm afraid. :)


"Every Thug Needs A Lady" is weak compared to other A3 songs.

[poprocks&coke]

:eek:


I love that song.

[Sep]

I would have to agree Every Thug Needs A Lady doesn't do much for me.

[chumpradio]

I love the song, merely because I love Dan's vocals, and the way he sings sounds nice because of his slight lisp. Along with the lyrics, it sounds really romantic.

[Storm In A Teacup]

It's boring. Almost every song off "Good Mourning" is better than it.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

if alk3 put out an acoustic album would you guys buy it? like full band acoustic not just skiba, with derek singing more, and possibly a song with derek on lead vocals?

[Storm In A Teacup]

Hecks yes I'd buy it.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I'd definatley bought it, although I already have all their acoustic stuff so far.

What Derek has reported on BP:
Matt is currently working on side project "Heavens"

Dan is currently working on the audio mixing for the re-release of Goddammit!

Derek is currently searching the demo's archives for Goddammit! tracks.

we are also working on another audio release, details to come early next month

Zomgz!1 Excitment.

[Storm In A Teacup]

It'll be great to hear some 'new' stuff from them.

Wow, sounds ace!
Can't wait :)

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

when is this supposed to be released again? i'm too lazy to search...

[simplephotographinthesun]

if alk3 put out an acoustic album would you guys buy it? like full band acoustic not just skiba, with derek singing more, and possibly a song with derek on lead vocals?

massive splooging.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

basically. i wonder if they'd do it if we got enough people sending them letters and whatnot requesting it. it'd also be really cool if they did it in the studio so they could put some really different stuff in there they normally wouldn't be able to do live.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I need to listen to more Alk3.

That acoustic idea sounds awesome, I love hearing Derek's voice.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

yeah, it's AMAZING.

where would the misfits be if they got derek on vocals instead of michale graves after they got back together w/o danzig? better or worse post-danzig era?

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Ugh, no way. Derek's voice is wayyy too girly for the Misfits.

[Storm In A Teacup]

yeah, it's AMAZING.

where would the misfits be if they got derek on vocals instead of michale graves after they got back together w/o danzig? better or worse post-danzig era?

*grabs shotgun*

Whatchu smokin' son?

[Oz Rembrandt]

Contrary to the uber belief that "all misfits after Danzig sucked", Michael Graves era Misfits were awesome.

[Surtr]

*grabs shotgun*

Whatchu smokin' son?
:lol:

Awesome post.

My copy of Radio is screwed up on my iPod..When I play it, it plays some piano song..It never gets to the actual song..:p

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

Contrary to the uber belief that "all misfits after Danzig sucked", Michael Graves era Misfits were awesome.
i agree. but if graves didn't come along i think derek was next up for the vocal auditions...but i love graves' stuff.

[Storm In A Teacup]

LST, if I have Radio I'll give it to you, k?


i agree. but if graves didn't come along i think derek was next up for the vocal auditions

But really...

[Bad Blood]

who likes patent pending then? matts new band.

[shangbang]

Do you mean Heavens? Matts not in Patent Pending.

[Bad Blood]

isnt he?

in the daily upload, kif said it was his new band.

ohwell

[Oz Rembrandt]

Yeah, Matts is a band called Heavens... they're alright.

Just downloaded a live album off the Blood Pact... I'll tell ya's what its like later...

[chumpradio]

who likes patent pending then? matts new band.
I think Kif got that mixed up, because I am pretty sure that Heaven's have a song/album coming out called Patent Pending.

[shangbang]

Yea the band is called Heavens and the song is called Patent Pending

[sid121]

saw them last november and was one of the best gigs ive ever been too. Would love to see them again! Crimson rocks! sounds a lot different to the rest of there albums, but i still love it!!

Alkaline Trio ROCK!!!!!!

[shangbang]

http://www.epitaph.com/media/download/audio/834

New song from Matts new band.

[Snowball Fight]

Matts band suck a bit.

: /

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I didn't even know Matt had a new band.

Who's in it? And what's the deal with Alkaline Trio then?

[shangbang]

It's his side project. Joe Steinbrick from Thieves Like Us and F-Minus is the other member. It's not really affecting Alkaline Trio since last I heard they're still recording in the winter.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I made news of this, the band is called Heavens.

http://www.myspace.com/heavensband

[Untitled]

I realy like this Heavens stuff i do.

[Snowball Fight]

Another Night is an awesome song.

Another night with your head in the over, simmering like a heat wave over you. brilliant.

[Surtr]

Prevent This Tragedy and Smoke happen to be two really good songs also. In fact, the intire Crimson album is much to my liking. :)

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Prevent This Tragedy and Smoke happen to be two really good songs also. In fact, the intire Crimson album is much to my liking. :)

*entire

I also love Prevent This Tragedy. Great song.

[Surtr]

FINE. Entire :p

And yeah, k lol.

[MrRhodes]

Crimsons a great album but not quite as good as MICF or FHTI. Favourite songs on Crimson would have to be Back to Hell and Dethbed. and smoke.. okay theyre all amazing.

[Surtr]

I actually don't like FHTTI. There are some good songs on it, but together as an album is not that great.

[MrRhodes]

Really? Thats the first album I got and that got me into them. I couldn't stop listening to it and became obsesed until I got more albums and did the same with them.

[poprocks&coke]

Me, I'm a Goddammit fan.
Does anyone know if they're re-recording the re-release of it, or just re-releasing it with a shiny new cover?

[MrRhodes]

I'm not sure but there is going to be bonus tracks on it and they are also going to be making a DVD. They are recording some of their shows at the moment.

[Firecracker]

Prevent This Tragedy is my favourite after Dethbed on Crimson.

[MrRhodes]

2 amazing songs, I was actually OTT obsesed with Prevent This Tragedy at one point, I think it drove everyone in my house crazy with it being on 24/7 nice and loud :p

[poprocks&coke]

I really can't stand that song.

I'm sorry, it's just that it kind of... drags on. I always used to skip it when I listened to Crimson.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I listened to 'Crimson' in full on the way to and from the gym today and as always, it proves itself as Alkaline Trio's best record ever. I love all of it.

[Firecracker]

I was COMPLETELY addicted to that album when it came out.
Come on Lily, it's not that bad.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I was COMPLETELY addicted to that album when it came out.
Come on Lily, it's not that bad.


Do you still like it a lot, or have you grown out of it?

[MrRhodes]

I still love it, probably more than before actually. I've been listening to it alot recently.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

MrRhodes, about the bonus tracks on the re-release of Goddamnit, will they contain Weak Week and the rest of the demo tape that is on? That's the only song I have from it...but I love it!

I would absolutely love to see the trio play that song and Sundials live.

[sid121]

i love crimson...it was actually the first album i bought of theres...and its sooo addictive, one of the best albums ive ever bought.
has anyone seen any of there secret acoustic shows? i really want to go to one, i just never know when there on.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I never looked up the lyrics of Radio till today, and I always thought it was "Take my radio to bed with you" not bathe. :eek:

It makes sense now!

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Haha, loooser.

[Storm In A Teacup]

The singles on the new album make it seem like Alkaline Trio incorporates keyboard into all of their songs.

The songs own either way though.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Songs from Crimson?

[Storm In A Teacup]

Yes, mamn.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Oic.

Is that ma'am or man. :(

[Storm In A Teacup]

I mispelled ma'am. I wasn't sure how it is spelled. :p

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Ooh, hahaha.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

so how much longer 'till that re-release?

[Untitled]

Crimson?

Crimson got a re-release within the first year, with the "duluxe edition" thats the one i have, because the stupid card box is well cool, but wont fit in my cd rack.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

o_O

Yeah, that was released ages ago...

edit: Butler: Sorry, but I laughed at duluxe.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

no, i'm talking about goddamnit. i have crimson deluxe edition...that was like a month or something after the original came out.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I've never heard of a Goddamnit re-release.

Where'd you hear that?

[Untitled]

I've never heard of a Goddamnit re-release.

Where'd you hear that?
Youve never heard of the duluxe edition?

1 sec....

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

NO the Goddamnit re-release!

I have the deluxe edition.

[Untitled]

[chumpradio]

Remains will be cool, just so I can have all the songs on a proper cd.
It's a shame they haven't put Weak Week on it, I wanted that on a cd as well. But I have all the songs on my pc anyway, so it's nothing I haven't heard before, which is a shame.
What happened to the song which Derek was meant to be singing? I was interested in hearing that.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

I'm not positive, but i think Weak Week will be on another disc or something for the re-release of Goddamnit. I remember reading something about a demo tape (remastered) in with that re-relase and a possible DVD

[chumpradio]

That will be great. Hopefully that turns out to be true.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Can't wait for the rarities and b-sides release. :D

I wonder why they will be leaving their label.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Holy ****, whats with all these new CDs coming out?

I guess that I really need to check their site more often. =\

[Storm In A Teacup]

:mad: What you need to do is start reviewing again.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

But I don't really enjoy it anymore.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

That will be great. Hopefully that turns out to be true.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for too, because Weak Week is such a sick song, but the quality of the recording I have of it is horrible, and I haven't heard the other songs on that demo...

[poprocks&coke]

Would you like me to check the Blood Pact?

[Storm In A Teacup]

But I don't really enjoy it anymore.

I don't blame you. The community there is a wreck, somewhat.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I never go in their CT.

Its just the reviewing, I used to enjoy it, but now it seems like more of a priority.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Not neccessarily. There are a ton of different features now on there.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I may do one soon, who knows.

Then maybe I'll start back up again.

Definately. See if there's any new news on it, or anything important that's going on and let us know. :)

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I'm learning to play Blue in the Face :)

It's fun and easy, and since I blow at guitar, that's just what I need.

[Bad Blood]

I've just realised...

Where's Oz gone?

[Pazz]

I saw him on MSN the other day, but I didn't talk to him.


NINJA EDIT: He's on MSN right now.

I just made a playlist of all my songs b Dan Andriano, and I will be listening to it on random all night.
I forgot just how much I love the Alk3/Dan in particular, and I've been listening to his songs off MICF all day. Matt is great too, but there's something special about Dan in my opinion.

Nah, I prefer Matt, I love his scruffy voice:p

Matt is great too, but there's something special about Dan in my opinion.I like that, because it seems like everyone just says Matt because he's slightly more in the forefront of the band. Everyone I talk to is like "Matt, Matt, Matt." Nice to hear contrary opinions.

[Fire Away]

Enjoy Your Day is my absolute least favourite Alkaline Trio song

[chumpradio]

I love Enjoy Your Day.
Dan's voice really makes that song amazing, in my opinion.

[lunchforthesky]

its okay from time to time. but he almost seems like hes crying. i think dan gets better as the albums progress where as matt as other way round.

[Flex of the Yellow]

I like the way Matts scruffyness of voice can add a lot af extra emotion to a song, e.g. Blue in the Face (although, true, illness played a part in that tone too).

he almost seems like hes crying.

I also agree with this, Dan is an awesome singer who should only get better :)

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

Can somebody post tabs to the lead guitar part in Back To Hell (Matt's Home Demo) from Crimson Deluxe Edition? I can't figure it out or find the demo version tabs anywhere.

[musikal45]

my boyfriend was playing the new offroad fury pro game on PSP when i overheard an alkaline trio song ive never heard before. im a huge alkaline trio fan and i was pumped to find out they wrote a new song for the soundtrack. i played the game all weekend to hear the rest of the soundtrack and not only do they have other bands like senses fail and rock kills kid, but the game is unreal. does anyone know anything about playstation soundtracks? do they get released? i found some clips of the songs on the game's website (www.atvoffroadfurypro.com)

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

we can never break up? that was released on the Masters of Horror album. if i remember correctly, it's got a lot of good bands, but i havent looked at who all is on it in a while, and i dont own it. however, if you just want that song you can purchase it on iTunes. just search for We Can Never Break Up, and it should have 2 copies, one is album only, and one is $.99, if you live in the US.

[Surtr]

That's a sweet song, but it's not new.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

i'm pretty sure they don't have anything new and won't until like december...i think that's when the re-release of Goddamnit comes out? but technically, other than band footage, that stuff isn't new...just never released from the band in stores as far as i know. i'm still excited anyway. and i think they're going to start recording another album around december or the beginning of 2007.

[Oz Rembrandt]

WHOA. I'm still the highest poster in this thread. Word to that.

News from the Bloodpact...

Derek reckons the DVD/CD tie in relases should be done by the end of January, but its not a garrunteed thing. However... live version of Some Kinda Love by the Misfits going straight into Radio is the SEX people.

[Ross]

Can't stop listening to Stupid Kid. I'm suddenly and randomly big into FHTI.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Probs from sitting next to me at college for 2 years.

[Ross]

Yeah. You've finally infected me with something I don't have to go to the clinic to test for.

C'est bon!

[simplephotographinthesun]

I love Enjoy Your Day.
Dan's voice really makes that song amazing, in my opinion.

he walks a fine line between sincerity and sarcasm in that song and i can't tell the difference at certain points

<3 Dan 4e.

I wanted to catch his recent acoustic tour with Chris from Saves the Day but sadly I couldn't. I haven't heard his solo stuff in many a year :upset:

[Oz Rembrandt]

For me, Dan is by far the stronger singer. He's so sweet and bitter at the same time. His voice has such a clarity and purity... everything he writes is gold.

[simplephotographinthesun]

dan absolutely kills me on the Maybe I'll Catch Fire record, primarily on She Took Him to the Lake...god damn... *runs to search for his MICF cd*

[Oz Rembrandt]

MICF... sigh, since Matt and Glenn were falling out all the time (leading to Glenn's departure), the album is really Dan's. Its the only album named after a title track, and its one of Dan's. It may be Dan's only single... but I'm not sure.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

do you know what Glenn's doing now? or is he just some amazing drummer that nobody seems to know now?

[Oz Rembrandt]

Well, on the DVD commentary for At the Metro, Derek says he met up with Glenn, who was drumming in some other band, and doing some producing I think. Derek worships the guys work.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

yeah, he loves Alk3's previous 2 (recording) drummer's work. i think he said something about Take Lots With Alcohol (Felumlee) being one of their most fun drum songs or something. it is a very fun drum song.

do you know where i can find any videos of them performing sundials? or do they not ever perform it? cause that's like the only song i've never been able to play all the way through on drums by them, and i'd love to see it live.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I've yet to see them play Sun Dials live, on the 3 Live DVD's I've seen. Its a pretty old song... they might not feel the need to play it anymore. It may be on the upcoming DVD though, since that has the Goddammit tour on it...

[lunchforthesky]

ive seen them 5 times and seen 2 live performances and theyve never played it so i htink you might be out of luck. it would need to be pretty old. tbh i think its one of thier worst songs.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

the dvd is in the re-release of Goddamnit right?

i love that song. especially the drum part immediately after all the singing's done.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Infact, Sundials may be a song that was recorded with the very original line up, with Rob Doran on Bass and Glenn on Drums.

[lunchforthesky]

it is.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Thought so. Not all the songs off the S/T album are, and I couldn't remember of the top of my head.

Its possible that Dan and Derek just don't know the song then, or never learnt it that definitively

[lunchforthesky]

i think that the songs at the end are if im correct. like 97' and stuff. but thats one of my fav songs by them.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

'97 may be one of the best off self-titled...or maybe nose over tail...the whole cd's damn good.

[lunchforthesky]

i dont listen to that nose over tail though because the goddamnit version is so much better. my friend peter, bleeder, goodbye forever, cooking wine all good songs.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Hmm... the bassline for the S/T Nose Over Tail is better than Dan's...

Best song off the Alkaline Trio is still Goodbye Forever for me.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

my friend told me that the Goodbye Forever video is what got him washing his face every day haha. and yeah, the recording quality for Nose Over Tail is better on Goddamnit, but both versions are good.

what happened to Rob anyway?

[Oz Rembrandt]

I'm not entirely sure. I know Glenn left due to differences between him and Matt...

[Untitled]

Streaming the whole of Remains, till it comes out i presume.

[lunchforthesky]

Yeah i saw that earlier, it's B-sides though so ive got them all already

[simplephotographinthesun]

ah, i haven't heard "If You Had a Bad Time" in so long. one of the rare uplifting alk3 tunes for me :p

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

When's the re-release of Goddamnit supposed to come out?

[lunchforthesky]

I thought they rereleased it years ago.

[Hi My Name Is Mark]

No, they were talking about re-releasing it sometime soon with remastered demos, new artwork, comments from the original members about each song, and a possible bonus DVD, but it was still the Goddamnit CD, not Remains I believe...

[hey, you're not cory!]

BAH!

THey have an EP with three songs off their new album coming out today. Figured like a proper time to bump.

[Sep]

Listening to the new album for the first time now. It's pretty dark but pretty damn sweet so far.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Haha whoa it's Sep! :amaze:

I listened to some of Crimson for the first time in a while today when I had my iPod on shuffle. :)

[pixiesfanyo]

i've liked what i've heard from the new album. seems like a step up from Crimson... god, that was a terrible record.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I actually didn't mind it, but I have pretty tolerable ears.

Haven't heard the new CD yet.

[Sep]

first half of crimson had some sweet songs overall it was pretty god damn mediocre. And i like it that some people remember me. :)

[DJ Ducksauce]

Haha well I never really got to the last half of Crimson every time I listened. Always had something interrupt or wasn't paying much attention by then. And well you did win PPotM wayyy back when. :p

[hey, you're not cory!]

What is the general consensus on Agony and Irony?

[Firecracker]

Thought it was gash to start off with, now have been listening to it a few times, and it definately has its moments.
I think 'I Found Away' is really good, 'Calling All Skeletons' is quite good also, tracks 2-4 are ok, but the rest of it is still a bit rubbish.
Definately not as good as I'd hoped.

[Fire Away]

a serious lack of good matt songs, but all of dan's are ace. especially the one on the bonus disc
