Every Thug Needs An Official Alkaline Trio Thread

[Oz Rembrandt]

Listened to a few tracks off Crimson yesterday. All in all, a good sounding, catchy album, not exactly FHTI or Goddammit, but still good.

[Sep]

I'm looking for Crimson on Soulseek now. :)

[Sep]

The one on Soulseek is in a huuge que. Could someone send it to me over AIM? :)

itchy8bum8hole

[Rancid Dan]

Will do.

[poprocks&coke]

Dan, get your arse on AIM!

[Rancid Dan]

Will do.

[Sep]

The only thing I don't like about new Alk3 is that both singers voices don't stand out at much.

The songs are great though, I have the first 3 tracks and Bleed is definitely my favorite. I am actually going to wait and buy this when it comes out. I especially like the piano on some tracks.

[Oz Rembrandt]

:thumb:
I never download entire albums, only the odd track if I dont like the rest of the songs

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

They've been rumoured for reading and leeds

[Oz Rembrandt]

I know. I've never seen them live, and would **** my pants!

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Neither have i, and i'd like to see them a lot.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Where'd you get this rumour?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

http://www.reading-festival.org.uk/rumours.asp?id=141

There's a few rumours for other bands like Bad Religion, Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies, Millencolin etc.

Dropkick Murphys were announced today, along with Roots Manuva, Funeral For A Friend, Transplants and another band with a sh!t name i can't remember

[sketchyjoe]

I just downloaded Crimson off Soulseek. Pretty good stuff.

[BassPlayer222]

Alkaline Trio are a great band....great song writer....they are definatly an underated band

[chumpradio]

Alkaline Trio are a great band....great song writer....they are definatly an underated band
It's not great song writer, it is great song writers. :angry:
I ****ing hate it when people leave out Dan and Derek, especially seeing as Dan sings almost half of the songs. He deserves at least as much credit as Matt, and Derek does a lot to the writing of songs, and he handles the bands website. They are all cool and deserve credit, not just Matt.
Dan has some songs that are as good as, if not better than, Matts best.

[poprocks&coke]

I just downloaded Crimson off Soulseek. Pretty good stuff.

I think my favourite off that album has to be Time to Waste or Mercy Me. I love the part where Dan comes in, I really love his singing voice.

[Rancid Dan]

I prefer Matts voice.

Time to waste is my favourite song, i love the riff and the piano part, it's so atmospheric.

[chumpradio]

With Alk3, I like the vocals like this for Dans songs live;
Dan singing his lyrics
Matt screaming the lyrics over the top

Matt has a lot of aggression in his voice, whereas Dan's voice is a lot more romantic and emotional. They are both great for when I am in different moods.

[Rancid Dan]

Ha, sometimes Dan's voice sounds really wierd and country-like

[simplephotographinthesun]

Ha, sometimes Dan's voice sounds really wierd and country-like

<3 the small lisp

[benbenben]

i love the chorus to mercy me, and your neck.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I love the piano intro/break in Time to Waste

[Sun Ray™]

Any album you can recommend for a guy just staring out with alkaline trio?

[chumpradio]

Depends, if you like bands like Blink and Green Day, try Good Mourning or From Here To Infirmary. If you like more of a rough sound, try Goddammit or Maybe I'll Catch Fire.

[lcolormegrayl]

I like Mercy Me, I Was A Prayer(first song of Dan's that I really really like), Your Neck, and Smoke.
I'm disappointed with Sadie. I like the older version better.
Time To Waste is going to be the single. Heard the song on KROQ, yeah, I couldn't believe it either.

[frmautumTOashes]

Radio was the first song I learned to play on guitar, and I still play it a lot.

[Kif]

I'm surprised that's the single, it's a bit dark for a single I think. I was expecting Burn to be the single

[Rancid Dan]

Nah, i expected it to be the single, it's got that edge imo, it's definetley my favourite song of theirs off the new album

[Kif]

I dunno, it is one of my favourite because it is quite fast and has some nice lyrics, but I am a sucker for the faster pace of Back To Hell

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, 'Back to hell' is good, I also like 'Stained in Satin' and 'Your Neck'

[When I Am Queen]

F**k You Aurora is my favorite song from Alkaline Trio.

[chumpradio]

I expected Mercy Me, Sadie, Back To Hell or maybe Prevent This Tragedy to be singles.

[Untitled]

/Posts.

Anyone fancie sening us a random Alk3 album? seems as if i know i like them, a bit i think, just have nothing downloaded, or baught, or anything for that matter.

[Rancid Dan]

Get on AIM

[Untitled]

One min, i will, just need to do somthing.

/runs downstiars.

[Rancid Dan]

Ha, ok.

[poprocks&coke]

could someone possibly send me God****it? please? :D

[The_Red_Death]

Is there anywhere I can listen to some new Alk3 songs online?

[simplephotographinthesun]

Any album you can recommend for a guy just staring out with alkaline trio?

god****it

[I Lie. I Cheat. I Steal.]

My favourite song is Every Thug Needs a Lady but I likek all their songs that I've heard, not a single badd'n.

[Oz Rembrandt]

could someone possibly send me God****it? please? :D

Next time I see you online little lady ;)

[millencolin1234]

Alkaline trio rock ***. i love the whole album "From Here To Infirmary" cant stop listning to it, "Good Morning" wasent bad, an there older stuff was cool. Cant wait for there new album "Crimson" so arrive on our shores.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Man, I really love the whole "tag-team" vocals in the new album, good new ideas

[poprocks&coke]

Tag Team? you mean like when they take it in turns to sing (like on Mercy Me)?

[Oz Rembrandt]

Yeah, just like that. I think it sounds awesome

[poprocks&coke]

the first time i heard them do that, it was really surprised, and a smile came across my face (:eek: ), because it was just so cool.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Still no conformation of them playing Leeds? Anyone?

[Rancid Dan]

Rancid do that a lot, it sounds good.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Yeah, it sure does! Matt and Dans are a little different to Tim and Lars' though

[chumpradio]

Back To Hell has amazing duel vocals in the chorus.
But Old School Reasons is my favourite song of both Matt and Dan together for now, may change after a while.

[Untitled]

Dan sent me From Here To Imfirmary its good.

[El_Shiznit]

I have a question about the new album before I go out and buy/download it.

Is the style more similar to Good Mourning (darker kind of) or is it closer to, say, FHTI (more upbeat songs)? I am going to get it either way. I just wanted to know before hand so there's no surprise.

[poprocks&coke]

Dan sent me From Here To Imfirmary its good.

not good, AWESOME.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Dan sent me From Here To Imfirmary its good.
My fav Alkaline Trio album. Infact, one of my favourite albums

[The_Red_Death]

Can I hit anyone up for Crimson? Over MSN or AIM, if possible.

i'd say it leans more toward good mourning

Definitely more towards Good Mourning.
The piano definitely adds to this.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Yeah, Seps right, its far more Good Mourning type.

The Show must go off! DVD of them live of the Metro at Hallowe'en arrived yesterday :thumb: its awesome. Derek Grant is an evil looking bastard

[chumpradio]

I like From Here To Infirmary, but I honestly think it is nowhere near as good as Maybe I'll Catch Fire or Goddamnit, and I think it's about as good as Good Mourning.
I don't see how so many people rate it as Alkaline Trio's best album.

[Rancid Dan]

imo, it is definetley their best album, only Crimson is near.
Goddanmit is their worst, but i don't have MICF or Good Mourning

[Oz Rembrandt]

My favourite is From Here to Infirmary, but I really cant fault them on any album

[Rancid Dan]

I just downloaded MICF, it's beeter than Goddnamit, but it has only 10 tracks

[benbenben]

crimson, for me is by far the best. i really like it. probably one of the only of their albums i really really enjoy listening to. except from FHTI

[poprocks&coke]

Yeah, Seps right, its far more Good Mourning type.

The Show must go off! DVD of them live of the Metro at Hallowe'en arrived yesterday :thumb: its awesome. Derek Grant is an evil looking bastard

:upset:

you have so much cool stuff.

[chumpradio]

Hey, what's everyones favourite Alkaline Trio lyrics. Like, small parts of songs. There are far too many for me to list them all, so here a the first few that I can think of.

"We're nowhere near prepared, there's no way of knowing,
Why don't they just admit they're scared? Because it's already showing."

"Cracked my head open on your kitchen floor, to prove to you that I have brains"

"Before you left I said that you can bet I'll be bothering you soon,
You said 'No bother, please do'."

"Even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars"

"What's upside down? What's coated in silver? This crucifix is my four leaf clover"

"I'm just trying to relax, as the killer's waiting right outside my door"

"You know it starts here, outside waiting in the cold, kiss me once in the snow, I swear it never get's old"

"Waking up next to nothing, after dreaming of you and me, waking up all alone, waking up so relieved"

"Take your wings outside, you can't fly in here"

"Bless me dark father I have sinned, I've done it before and I'll do it again"

"I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you, your majesty, you're royal blue, I'm royalty, my king of pain"

"Intending to burn, pretending to fight it, everyone learns faster on fire, things took a turn, lost all desire, you live and you burn"

"Send us back to hell, we've had our fill of heaven, give us back our sins"

"Never had a drink that I didn't like, got a taste of you, threw up all night"

"Why is it that you never said, 'I love you more than just a friend', I pray this gridlock never ends, and how we get there just depends"


I cannot be bothered writing any more right now. If a lot of people reply to theirs, I may write some more of mine.

[Oz Rembrandt]

:upset:

you have so much cool stuff.

Yeah, but I have no money

Lyrics (Alkaline Trio wright some of the best methinks)

"Head Like An Empty Sterile Room, Somehow I made a Mess. Like Watching New Born Babies Crack from Work Releted Stress"
"Cracked my head open on your kitchen floor, to prove to you that I have brains"
"Even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars"
"What's upside down? What's coated in silver? This crucifix is my four leaf clover"
"I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you, your majesty, you're royal blue, I'm royalty, my king of pain"
"There are things that used to make me laugh, but now they're deeply buried in the Past"
"I used to long for Broken Bones, Used to Long for a Casket to call my own"
"What ever happened to that silly dream I had? I'd love to make it real. I'd love to rub your back"
"step one: slit my throat
step two: play in my blood
step three: cover me in dirty sheets
and run laughing out of the house
step four: stop at lake michigan
and rinse those crimson hands
you took me hostage you made your demands
i couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers
one by one"

I'll post more later :lol:

[chumpradio]

Can't believe that I forgot "Maybe I'll stay down next time I get hit by a train", from I Lied My Face Off.

[simplephotographinthesun]

"i don't hear from you no more, but i get the message. you crashed your car through my front door, i pulled you from the wreckage. you told me that you missed me, but you meant with the grill and hood."

"i don't dream since i quit sleeping. and i havent slept since i met you. and you cant breathe without coughing in daytime, well neither can I, so what do you say? Your coffin or mine?"

"did i remember to sleep in? take lots of pills, commit irreversible sins? did i at least try to kiss the prettiest girl at the right time?

"i dragged this lake looking for corpses, dusted for printed, pried up the floor boards, pieces of plane and black box recorders dont lie. and ive been pre-occupied with these sick sick senses that sense DNA on barbed wire fences. maybe someday i'll find me a suspect that has no alibi."

"soon ends our stay here and its been fun, so tonight ill raise my glass to us. 'cause we talked so much i think we filled this ashtray twice. and i'm pretty sure we emptied every bottle in the place..."

"do you remember when they both drove out of state? stealing kisses behind her cousin's back, with a love so strong tell me who could wait?"

"so close to perfect, swear to hell thought it was you. well this bouncing baby boy's now turning baby blue."

"im like a broken record, i've got a needle scratching me. it injects the poison of alcohol IV."

"i got a letter in the mail, resender failed to let me know where it came from. opened it up and sure enough there we were arm in arm again."

"you came to me like a dream
the kind that always leaves,
just as the best part starts
it ends so abruptly.
and leaves you stunned and naked in your bedroom all alone.
it's kinda funny how something so soothing
gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone."

"**** you Aurora,
You took my only friend.
You wont catch me behind the wheel of a Chrysler ever again. "

"I found out recently that you are leaving
For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling"

"Most exciting thing I do - hang half way out a third floor window,
maybe throw lit cigarettes down.
And maybe I'll catch fire,
something warm to hold me,
something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind.
All that evil ****'s not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice."

"One of these days
it's gonna catch up to you
Throwing looks like those around
One of these nights
I promise to you
I'll soon be sleeping sound,
as soon as I leave town"

"This place would be busier than O'Hare
There's proof in the sky
...
If the chip off your shoulder should fall to your chest
Get it off right away
Cause if you don't then it won't be in peace that you rest"

...and theres more

[Punkrock26]

Alkaline trio is my favorite band´and I´m from Germany. Stained in satin is my favorite Song, but Continental, Sadie, Bleed and Southern Rock on Goddamit too.

[Punkrock26]

In your opinion, are the drummer and the bassist of Alkaline trio the best ones of Punkrock?
Oh by the way, I´m wearing a Alkaline trio shirt right now.

[chumpradio]

I believe that they are some of the best, but not the best. They have had a few drummers though, so do you mean just Derek, or their past drummers as well? Mike Felumlee was a pretty good drummer as well.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Derek Grant often says that the Alkaline Trio's first drummer was better than he was, but he still loves playing the old stuff (Drum Fill in Good Bye Forever). Dan Andriano is an incredible Bassist though. He alternates between simple basslines, to really interesting ones (like Mr. Chainsaw :D).

I love all those lines posted by simplephotographinthesun :thumb:

[chumpradio]

I forgot another one of my favourite lines. :(

"Did I remember to stay up late? Drinking for the fun...singing for the taste"

Im a better drummer then all of Alk3 put, and all of everyband ever, put together.

He's right you know!

[poprocks&coke]

i bought a real copy of Good Mourning the other day, it has a loverly shiny booklet...

i don't know why, but i'm going through a phase of buying copies of CDs i already have, just to have the case and stuff... i suppose its because it looks better on my shelf having all the CDs with the names and stuff instead of just blank cases.




i'm so sad :upset:

[Kif]

I do that. I haven't burnt an album in so long. I like owning the CD because it makes me feel better about downloading it I guess, plus I feel like I'm supporting the band a lot better

[Untitled]

I hate downloading. if i download an album i make a consiouse effort to buy it and actully support the band, unless i dont like it, then i just delete it.

[Kif]

I don't feel that guilty about downloading, because without the aid of downloading, I'm certain I wouldn't own a lot of CDs that I own now. Also, I buy merch and go to shows, which generally costs more than a CD. I'd rather be able to sing the songs and show my appreciation for the band by going to shows and wearing the merch than buying a CD and staying at home

[Oz Rembrandt]

I rarely download, mostly because my computers so crappy, but also because it means I have all the case and stuff...

oh god, Im sad too... :upset:

From Here To Infirmary has been my favorite for a long time, but lately I have been listening to ungodly amounts of Good Mourning. So maybe that is my favorite right now. "Continental" is now my favorite off of that album. It keeps me coming back and listening to it more.

[Dead Star]

My favourite song has to be Trucks and Trains.

[alkaline kid]

Anyway, Dan is a great bassist. I love his playing style. And Oz, it says that the GPC sig was modelled after the Fender Jazz, but if you're looking for that exact bass, good luck. Those things are **** hard to find.

[simplephotographinthesun]

same with matt's double fat model

[Oz Rembrandt]

i hope you know matt is the singer for mr.chain saw

I did know, but its still a good bassline

i think you'll find it's May 24th actually. :rolleyes:

[Year of the eVoLvEr]

The new album Crimson comes out on May 24. This is according to the alk3 website.
Anyways. best songs probly:
Radio
Stupid Kid
Trucks and Trains
You're Dead
This Could Be Love
Clavicle
Private Eye

[SavestheDay7432]

What can I say? I love Alkaline trio. I just bought tickets to see them play at the Irving Plaza, how exciting. Other then that, I think both Matt and Dan have great voices. They do such a good job when they blend their voices into one. They sound great in songs like, While You're Waiting and Trouble Breathing.

Also, I'm a bass player and I think Dan is quite good at bass, nothing to drool over but he's above average. For people who own the ALK3 dvd, they know what I mean. Dan rips up some pretty fast basslines in that dvd. I mean, he even speeds up Goodbye Forever, and I think we all know how fast the recorded version is? it's quite fast.

P.S.
Have any of you guys heard the new album? I'm quite happy with the turn out of it. It's earning great reviews everywhere. It's such an improvement from Good Mourning.

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, i reckon it's much better than Good Mourning

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Yeah, i reckon it's much better than Good Mourning


Really? I'd be interested to hear it, i thought most thought GM was better

[Rancid Dan]

Nah, i haven't had Good Mourning for long, but Crimson is much better and so is FHTI.

[narcotictendencies]

I just found the weirdest video for Goodbye Forever.

:confused:

[cr1nge]

I just found the weirdest video for Goodbye Forever.

:confused:

Does it involve Glenn with a lawn mower? Dan playing bass in a backyard? and Matt driving in his car? because that video is very old. I believe that was the first Alkaline trio video ever made.

[chumpradio]

That is true.
And Dan is playing bass....but his left hand is fretting, but not on the actual bass neck. :eek:

[cr1nge]

That is true.
And Dan is playing bass....but his left hand is fretting, but not on the actual bass neck. :eek:

I remember when I first saw that video, I thought that was the coolest thing I've ever seen. The bassline is crazy enough.

[freakingenius]

I love Alkaline Trio. All I have by them is Good Mourning and From Here To Infirmary though. :(

[chumpradio]

You need Maybe I'll Catch Fire, Goddammit (too lazy for swear filter) and Crimson, and if your country doesn't get the bonus tracks on MICF and Goddammit, then you need to buy the self titled also.
The splits aren't necessary, but good for the big fans who love the trio.

The last split they did with One Man Army was amazing. They made some of their best songs on that cd. I don't think Dan will ever make a better song then If You Had A Bad Time, and I don't think Matt will ever make a better song then Sadie. Both of those songs are just amazing.

Sadie is on Crimson, and normally people don't like buying cds with only 5 or so songs by a band they like unless they are a big fan. Especially when it only apperas to be sold for like £15 whenever I see it. Although you can get it on the internet.

The new Sadie is much better in my opinion.

[chumpradio]

The new Sadie is much better in my opinion.
I agree, the chorus sounds a bit better for some reason, I think Matt's vocals have very slightly different timing. Haven't listened to the OMA split version in a while though, so I may be wrong.

You're probably right. I like the new version better because you can actually hear the voice during the bass solo and Dan sings in the outro as well.

[poprocks&coke]

OK, can someone tell me who Glenn is please?

I am so confused.

[chumpradio]

Old drummer, before Mike Felumlee.
Glenn Porter was his name.
He drummed on Maybe I'll Catch Fire, and I think Goddammit.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Check Dan's FA

[poprocks&coke]

aw man that's embarrasing, I read that.

in one ear... out the other...
hm.. i thought they only had 2 drummers? wow you learn something new everyday..

just a thought - why is it most bands have problems with their drummers? (Green Day, for example.)

[Untitled]

And Blink182.

I know a Glenn, he lives next door but one to me, he has one nice superbike.

Saves the day has gone through 4 drummers and 2 bass players. I guess they're just hard to keep.

[chumpradio]

I think that with drummers, they aren't as influential to the band normally. So when a band loses one, they can be replaced. If you lose a lead guitarist, or singer, it is hard to carry on the band, so I just think that any bands who lose other members just fail as bands.

Like when TBS lost john nolan, you could tell the impact.

[chumpradio]

Yeah, with a lot of bands, the drummers don't make as much of an impact. If Blink lost Travis now though, I think they couldn't carry on. Or if Green Day lost Tré. Those drummers seem to do a lot during the song writing processes and help the band a lot.

[Ruse of Metacarpi]

I just typed up the most kick *** review of this band, and then my computer crashed.

Goddammit.

[simplephotographinthesun]

i think its hot water music who do a pretty damn good cover of radio

[Oz Rembrandt]

Yeah, tis on the Split EP. Its an OK cover, but its not great

[Alkaline Duo]

I have to get in on this alkaline trio loving lol...i just joined the forum thingy and of course have to go straight to the best band ever

[Oz Rembrandt]

/Bumpped!

So, anyone hear the trio on Lock Up (BBC Radio 1) last night? I know me and Lillie were listening, and were in the chat room. I was a little dissapointed by all the fans talking endless crap in there, not giving Derek a chance to answer any questions...

Still, the radio talk was fairly interesting, except for worrying comments of getting to number one in the UK and going "mainstream". Sounded like they wanted it to happen :eek:

Dude, the fact that a band wants to be sucessful shouldn't worry you. Unless they completely change their sound to what's popular, or they ''sell out''. Which they havn't.

I snapped and downloaded their new album so I have something new to listen to when I'm revising. I really really like it. I'm gonna buy it when it's officially released.

dude, that was one awesome show... they didn't answer any of my questions though... :upset:

[BassPlayer222]

I saw them play there new single "time to waste" on Fuse Tv's Steven's Untitled Rock Show. It's no surpiruse to me but the single kicks as*s. new cd comes out may 24th. who's excited?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I listened to it....

some of the new stuff sounded great, some of it sounded below the standard of their other stuff though

[millencolin1234]

i just herd a new song from there new album, time to waste on there myspace site, sounds amazing, thats the next album im buying

[punkerdan]

God****it is such a ****ing awesome cd, thier first one too i guess, but that cd is sooo good
trouble breathing
nose over tail
cringe
cop
sorry about that
clavical
just like every song on it rocks so hard

[Malice]

Alkaline Trio's new album, entitled "Crimson", is AMAZING.
Has anyone else heard it yet?

I love it, it's great!

[Malice]

I'm so stupid, I should have read everything above my post!!

Sorry guys and girls.

[Malice]

I just realised I have an Alkaline Trio avatar :lol:

[Malice]

Quadripple post!


/postcount ++ Sorry

[Malice]

New PAGE! WOO

Ok I'm leaving now.

[guns_of_brixton]

San Francisco is their best song.

[millencolin1234]

i went out and bought crimson yesturday, and its amazing, loving the songs, 'the poison' and 'burn', its all good.........

[poprocks&coke]

at the moment i can't stop listening to 'Smoke', i love the bit where it starts going 'i wish...', i just think its really cool

[sparkylp2002]

I got there album on tuesday, and i think it is really good. "Smoke" as of right now is my favorite song off the cd.

[millencolin1234]

i love 'i was a prayer' and 'the poison'...wait, iv already said what i like, well, i like another one now, im so stupid!!!!!

[Rancid Dan]

I'm loving most of good mourning now.

Every thug needs a lady is a particular favourite at the moment

[poprocks&coke]

Favourite off Good Mourning: Blue in the Face
Favourites off Crimson: Sadie, Mercy Me, I was a Prayer, Back to Hell, Smoke

I can't stop listening to Crimson at the moment, it's addictive...

[chumpradio]

I think that with Crimson, they are some of Matts best songs, but Dans songs aren't as good as some of the older ones.
That's just my opinion though.

[Mojo2004]

Whats better? Good mourning or crimson? i already have GM and love it, and i was wondering how good crimson is in comparison before i buy it

[roofee0]

Anyone catch them on Conan last night?

[chumpradio]

Whats better? Good mourning or crimson? i already have GM and love it, and i was wondering how good crimson is in comparison before i buy it
I find it hard to compare the albums. They are both amazing, and of similar styles. If you love GM, get From Here To Infirmary and Crimson. Then try out Maybe I'll Catch Fire, Goddamnit and the self titled. MICF, God.... and s/t are all of a more raw sound, and a lot faster, rather than the polished and slower sounds of the more recent albums.

[poprocks&coke]

"I'VE GOT A BIG FAT ****ING BONE TO PICK WITH YOU MY DARLING...."
/etc.

I love that song at the moment :D Listening to it right now, in fact.

[poprocks&coke]

This is true.

I don't really like the Poison too much.... but I love Smoke. :confused:

[HitHardDrums55]

i love all of crimson its a ****in sick cd...i have every full length by them now and i downloaded the covers of Halloween and Children In Heat...anyone else agree that their version of Children In Heat doesnt sound a bit like the trio? Halloween was ****in amazing though makes me wanna learn how to play grand piano...

[chumpradio]

There is another song that they have recorded definately, as well as We Can Never Break Up, which was the Bside of Time To Waste.
Put your cd into your pc, and on the making of video, there is a song called Pewk, and you can hear a clip of a different song which isn't on Crimson, and isn't We Can Never Break Up.
I think it's bad that they stopped their trend of UK bonus tracks. :( These songs should have been on our cd.

[Untitled]

The Uk ALWAYS gets bonus tracks.

I heard Alk3's new song, on Scuzz the other day, i was impressed. I may buy crimson on thursday.

You won't be disappointed, it's an amazing album.

[Rancid Dan]

I probably prefer Good Mourning to Crimson.

i'm not a big fan of Goddnamit.

[lunchforthesky]

There about the same if anything good mourning edges it. but neither compare to god****it

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, both are better :p

[cr1nge]

What's everyones least favortie ALK3 album?

Mine would be Maybe I'll Catch Fire, it's just too short.

[Rancid Dan]

Goddanmit.

Easily.

MICF is awesome

[chumpradio]

What's everyones least favortie ALK3 album?

Mine would be Maybe I'll Catch Fire, it's just too short.
My version is 14 tracks. :p
England > You

And I can't find a least favourite album, they are all really good in different ways.

[lunchforthesky]

crimson is my least favorite

[benbenben]

crimson is my favourite

[poprocks&coke]

I like 'em all.

well, all the ones I have, anyway. I did think they could have put a bit more on the Hot Water Music Split, because although what there is is awesome, it's only 20 mins long :(

[HitHardDrums55]

where do u find the extra songs? i have the american version of crimson and i heard a clip of what i guess is Pewk on the video, and haven't heard any of We Can Never Break Up...my limewire isnt finding them either.. :( but yeah alk3 is probably my favorite band right now...them and the danzig/misfits stuff

if anyone in this forum plays drums can any of you play Sundials? thats about the only alk3 song i cant even remotely play...too **** fast especially that bridge near the end...i guess its a bridge?

Thought I'd post this in here. Punk Rock Vids (http://www.punkrockvids.com/) have 2 Alkaline Trio videos up. One is Time To Waste performed live on Conan O' Brian, the other is Mercy Me performed acoustic in London. I'm considering doing an audio rip of Mercy Me acoustic if anyone wants that?

I love that acoustic Mercy Me.
I'm not desperate for a rip, but I have no software for it at the moment, so if other people want it, I will get it, but I will make my own soon enough.
Still need to get lots of software because I have a new laptop.

[Gnarmageddon]

:lol:

Derek looks so funny in the Time To Waste video on Conan when he's playing the second part with the piano. It looks like he's swinging a hammer.

[HitHardDrums55]

i cant find the time to waste video :(

anybody have the warped tour dvd with radio and take lots of alcohol on it? i forgot what year it was but if you watch the interview portion of alkaline trio, matt's voice sounds nothing like it does in interviews ive heard about crimson and i think he talked a little on the thing when u put the cd in ur computer i forgot though...but yeah its a good thing ...on warped he sounded gay...now he doesnt! :)

[poprocks&coke]

That vid is pretty **** cool.

[Firecracker]

I downloaded the Warped tour Radio & Take Lots With Alcohol, i like Matt's guitar.

[poprocks&coke]

My new favourite song of the moment - Enjoy Your Day



/wipes tear from eye.

[Firecracker]

Ah, yeah, tis an amazing song, i listen to it every time i go surfing, just brings back lovely memories. :'(

I've really got into Dethbed though. And that has to be my favourite song of the moment. Love it so much.

[Firecracker]

Uh... no.

[chumpradio]

No one is my equal, because I'm the King Of Rain.

[poprocks&coke]

:smash:

[Rancid Dan]

So, that's because she is THE queen.

[poprocks&coke]

no it's not!!

he's the Prince of Wales!

:lol: :smash:

[Rancid Dan]

Hot Water Music are who I prefer.
Sure, their split is shorter, but if you listen to them, they are a much better band.
I have seen them live as well. :cool:

[HitHardDrums55]

i dont particularly care for what songs ive heard by them, and i do like what ive heard of one man army...maybe some HWM song suggestions?

i have heard part of their version of Radio and it was dope...
