Every Thug Needs An Official Alkaline Trio Thread

[Oz Rembrandt]

I barely stop moving my hand when Im playing bass. If It gets quiet, i throw a slide in usually.

[Firecracker]

Do slap and pop then you'll be fine, and some rocking rhythms and runs.

[Untitled]

If im playing root 0 note, then ill take my hand off, have a drink, wave to people, you know.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I usually play a chord with the 7th fret octave if i'm playing open.

[poprocks&coke]

Shooooooooom.


Wow, look at that, it just flew right over my head.

[Oz Rembrandt]

The 7th fret of the string above is the same note as the open, but Higher

(Ie: Open Top String = E, then the 7th fret on your A string (Next one down) is also an E, but higher!)

[Untitled]

Dont be silly, its 5th fret. If you play 5th fret E, its the same as open A.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Thats a natural octave, exactly the same note. The seventh fret is something like 2 levels higher in frequency, so you can play chords with open and 7s.

[HitHardDrums55]

i thought it was 2 strings down for the same note but higher?

[Untitled]

I understand now, you can play it 2 strings down 2 frets across, or 7 frets down

[Crimsonpunk]

I knew there had to be a trio thread on here somewhere...
Triooooooo!!
Trio have to be my favourite band of all time, I know there is probably better bands in terms of musical ability and influence, but still, no-one makes music like trio. For anyone that hasn't heard their self titled stuff, get it, I personally think matt is the best lyricist EVER , which I know i'll get stick for, but what the hey, that's the way I see it...
I could go on for ****ing pages, so suffice it to say
TRIO TRIO TRIO TRIO TRIO
Yay trio. Trio rule. C'mon trio. Yay trio.
I'll shut up now
TRIOOOOOOOO

[Gnarmageddon]

Haha. Obsessive? Just a little?

And Matt doesn't write all their lyrics. The other two members of the band write a fair share of them.

[TakeWarning]

CORRECT to that man!

I linked a map of notes on the fretboard in Beginner Questions in the bass Forum.

Crimsonpunk. Welcome. Obsessive Fan right here. But Dan and Matt are equal on the lyrics front.

[Drum Boy]

Grimsby Town Take Warning!!!! Hate That!

[HitHardDrums55]

Crimsonpunk. Welcome. Obsessive Fan right here. But Dan and Matt are equal on the lyrics front.

They're all equally good...for example, most people think Matt wrote All On Black just because he sings it...nope, Derek did! I like all their lyrics though, really metaphorical and puts clear pictures in your head, like a dog shaking like hell ****ting a razorblade

[FauxApathy]

I've heard that Atom Willard was once in Alkaline Trio. Is he actually on one of their cd's, or was he a member before they had any full-lengths out.

[HitHardDrums55]

probably after Mike Felumlee recorded FHTI w/ them, they had tons of session drummers for shows and tours...

Glenn Porter - Goddamnit, Maybe I'll Catch Fire, S/T
Mike Felumlee - From Here To Infirmary
Derek Grant - Good Mourning, Crimson

[Bloodlust]

i went to see Alk3 last night and it was awsome. They are even better live then on their Cds

[shangbang]

Rob Doran - S/T

Plays bass on some of the tracks, but I'm not sure which.

[Untitled]

Atom Willard, when did he play? according to kif, he did, it says in the Blink182 threa,d cause he's drumming in AAA, with the offspring.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I dunno, I'm gonna do some research into it now...

EDIT: Well, he certainly drummed with them, but I can't find what period of their carreer...

[poprocks&coke]

CORRECT to that man!

Crimsonpunk. Welcome. Obsessive Fan right here. But Dan and Matt are equal on the lyrics front.



Can I join your little stalker obsessive fan club? After all, I did go into mourning after Matt got married...


*ahem!*

[Oz Rembrandt]

YES!Q!¬!

Sorry, I'm tierd, my typing is a bit poo.

[HitHardDrums55]

Atom played with them as well as like 3-4 other drummers after Mike left the band, which was shortly after FHTI was recorded. however Atom was only a session drummer playing live with the trio and not on any recordings...it's a shame Atom is another really good drummer, but i think Derek fits the style better...his stuff with Suicide Machines was amazing too

[Gnarmageddon]

Continental is a lot of fun to play on guitar.

[Benzum]

Continental is a lot of fun to play on guitar.

Hey, I was just listening to that song. Good Mourning is a really nice steady album IMO

[Gnarmageddon]

It's one of my favorites. One of the few that I can actually put it on and listen to it the whole way through without skipping any songs.

[Benzum]

It's one of my favorites. One of the few that I can actually put it on and listen to it the whole way through without skipping any songs.

Yeah, I think the songs start to lose their way a bit after track 7, but all pretty catchy songs...

[Angry Balled Fists!]

It's my favourite of their albums.

Every thug needs a lady is the best song.

[Gnarmageddon]

Continental is my favorite song on the album.

[chumpradio]

It's my favourite of their albums.

Every thug needs a lady is the best song.
Truth.
I love where Dan sings, "You know it starts here, outside waiting in the cold, kiss me once in the snow, I swear it never gets old", and you can hear an acoustic guitar lightly in the background. It's such a beautiful song.

Dan = God

Or Alk3 overall = God.

[Gnarmageddon]

Truth.
I love where Dan sings, "You know it starts here, outside waiting in the cold, kiss me once in the snow, I swear it never gets old", and you can hear an acoustic guitar lightly in the background. It's such a beautiful song.

I always get a weird feeling when I hear that part in the song. It's almost like I'm getting a boner.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Yup, it's like the best bit in any song ever.

Also the end part to Anohter Innocent Girl is another awesome Alk3 bit.

[Permanent Solution]

Hey, my first post in this tread. I'm seeing them Tuesday. :D

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Noice.

I still ahevn't got my tickets for the concert i'm off to yet :(

[Gnarmageddon]

I...er...listened to them at Warped two years ago when I wasn't that big of a fan. I was really tired so I sat down behind this tent and listened to them play. I wish now that I would have actually watched them.

[chumpradio]

November 24th for me.
I cannot wait, it will be amazing.

And all that followed fell, like Mercury to Hell, somehow we lost our heads for the last time.

[Firecracker]

I can't go. Shame really.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Dan = God
Or Alk3 overall = God.

Thats some good maths.

[Bad Blood]

I've just realised.. Alk3 don't play many solos do they? (i don't even think i can recall one they've done) But still can make amazing songs that don't get boring.

[Gnarmageddon]

I can't think of any solos either. The drums are the main thing that keep me listening to the songs. They never get boring. Derek is amazing.

[TakeWarning]

That's true very few solos. Oh well, simple but effective.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Matt dosnt do solos. The band play breaks, change the whole tone of the song instead...

[TakeWarning]

Well it works whatever they do.

[HitHardDrums55]

there is a really short solo in their cover of the metro...thats it and i dont know if i can even consider that a solo

[Bad Blood]

Matt dosnt do solos. The band play breaks, change the whole tone of the song instead...

Yeah. They have some amazing breaks, "take lots with alcohol" and "this could be love" both have really effective breaks in them.

[Oz Rembrandt]

While Your Waiting, Time to Waste, You've got so Far to Go. Pure genius.

[Sep]

I think Time To Waste is very overrated.

And Dethbed has the best Alkaline Trio verse! Especially the end of the first one ("Like a time bomb,...")

[Bad Blood]

Dethbed is probably one of the best songs on Crimson.

Poison's good too.

I think it's cool how it says:

"I could have rooftopped you in london..."

Then later on it says..

"How could a rooftop view in London..."

[TakeWarning]

I agree that Time To Waste is over-rated.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Time to waste is on of the best form the album.

Back to hell and Sadie are the other two main strong points.

[CrimbleVan]

Time to waste is on of the best form the album.

Back to hell and Sadie are the other two main strong points.

Time to Waste is quite good, and i must agree with those two songs being two more strong points - Back to Hell be my favorite :)

Lol, butlerrooni, thats what the people i dont like call my band to try and take the piss, they say were called the butleroonis.

Sounds like a kick *** band name.

[chumpradio]

The acoustics I uploaded are pretty great. I have some more relatively rare stuff I could upload if needed, like a Matt Solo Acoustic Show, and both of the solo split cds.

[Bad Blood]

:( For some reason, i can't open the file of the bsides thing.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Mine had an error in the middle of it getting downloaded...

[Bad Blood]

It downloaded fine, then when it needed to be 'Expanded' there was an error.

Thats a bit of a bugger, i really wanted to hear that, especially the acoustics.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Downloaded fine, but to open it I had to download some program that would expand the file. After that, it worked fine.

[Untitled]

I got hold of it fine, im annoyed with my mates, they have decided they realy wanna go see Alk3, after me miethering them to come forever, and now theres non left, i think, well you can only buy 1 at a time.

[poprocks&coke]

I think there's something wrong with my computer, it says it's going to take 17 hours for me to download. And it's in a random format.


Could someone perhaps convert and compress into a .zip file and send it to me? If you can't then don't worry, I shall seek them out on Kazaa...

If so, get winRAR, it's a great program. It can extract both winzip and winrar files.

Do your parents know it's on the first night of my exams.

My mum's being gay about it :(

[Angry Balled Fists!]

NAh, she doesn't know.

[Pazz]

Ok, well I'm opening the rarities file now, no problems, as of yet. If so, I will say so.
Anyways, Thanks Chris!!

Ok, got them all ok, escept All On Black, but I can get it off of limewire or something. Anyways, Thank You So Much, this is the best and I'm going to be listening to those for days!

[HitHardDrums55]

why is it that on the Live @ The Metro DVD, Matt sings Radio horribly, but when i saw them he did great, and it seems like he wouldnt be able to sing acoustic stuff, but his acoustic stuff is amazing? and its not a bad night, cause the rest of the dvd was awesome

they need a new dvd with more footage on it...maybe double disc dvds with extra features and better quality than the one they have now

[Oz Rembrandt]

He tore his vocal chords DURING the live at the Metro set, so all his vocals are horrendous.

[Bad Blood]

I've just downloaded a few songs off Chumps rarities.

They're awesome. Especially This could be love acoustic.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Blue in the Face - Electric is a genius idea.

[chumpradio]

I love the acoustic intro to Time To Waste, although the rest of the song could be better.

[Untitled]

I want that acoustic intro tabed, so my band can cover it, and do that on one guitar and stuff.

[HitHardDrums55]

funny, i'm thinking about doing a solo cover of Time To Waste on keyboard when i get mine, if i can learn how to sing better...i just recorded myself singing some alk3 (fatally yours and all on black) yesterday...i had to take it off my 8-track it was so horrible

[chumpradio]

I want that acoustic intro tabed, so my band can cover it, and do that on one guitar and stuff.
I can play it. It's mainly a D barre chord being arpeggiated, and then going up to a Eb barre chord being arpeggiated. There is a little bit over the top played on the G string, going from frets 14, then 13, then 11, I think.
That's just off the top of my head, without a guitar infront of me. I may work on tabbing it for you sometime.

[poprocks&coke]

My brother stopped it halfway through. :upset:


But I think it stopped working anyway, could someone please try and send it again? :D

I'm going off the trio a bit. Haven't listened to them for a long time, they're still my long term favourite band though, and top of my lastfm charts, but yeah, i don't listen to as much anymore.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Oh. My. Satan.

That video has to be my favourite from the Trio.

Its so well done, its amazing!

[Bad Blood]

It won't let me see the video, what's it like?

[chumpradio]

It's the band, on an animated background. It's pretty weird. Pretty hard to describe, but it is amazing.

[poprocks&coke]

That video is the most amazingly freakishly coolest thing EVER.

It's the band, animated, walking on sort of stick/stilt things on an abstract painting background, then they all sort of attatch to one another. Then Matt drills himself into the ground and Derek comes along and his head starts spinning. It's hard to describe.

[Bad Blood]

They played Blue In The Face electric live when I saw them. It was cool, except I didn't realize I knew that song already until the "and all that followed fell, like mercury to hell" part. They ended with that song.

[HitHardDrums55]

same here except i did recognize it, because ive heard the electric one before and they mixed it with '97 to make one really interesting, ending song it was super cool!

im obsessing over fatally yours right now... "you told me that you missed me, but you meant with a grill and hood, you'd kill me if you could..." i love that part

I have We've Had Enough, and used to have All On Black, but I can't find that online anywhere. Could you send me Continental? I'm trying to get all the demos. I thought I found one of Emma, but it seems like it's a studio live performance for a radio station.

There is definately one for All On Black, I used to have it on my dads pc.

I've just seen the video to Mercy Me finally.

It's awesome!

[trunks_punk]

they are a fantastic band to make so much out of so little. If you have seen the live dvd, the drummer looks like he's playing one of those beginner kits you get from youe local music store, the bass player is as tight as a clenched ***, and matt, well, he just sounds like hes putting everything he's got into it.

I don't use AIM pretty much, and my internet is going freakishly slow, so I'll try to some other day.

[HitHardDrums55]

they are a fantastic band to make so much out of so little. If you have seen the live dvd, the drummer looks like he's playing one of those beginner kits you get from youe local music store, the bass player is as tight as a clenched ***, and matt, well, he just sounds like hes putting everything he's got into it.

favorites:
cooking wine
keep 'em coming
trucks and trains
continental
fine without you
bleeder

derek doesnt look like he's playing a beginner set at all...beginner sets are a solid color and he has the black/red stripes plus a custom kick head plus for 3 of his drums (tom, floor tom, and kick) it's $1500 at least...i know solid colors are $1500 (USD)...he plays C&C Custom Drums from Kansas City...they sound amazing though i'm looking into them...and matt and dan keep it tight with derek...one of the best live dvds i have seen...and in person is even better!

nice song list, i just recently got over my obsession with the song bleeder i had to force myself to quit listening to it so much...

anybody know the b-side(s) for mercy me?

[Untitled]

I think he means he has a simple kit, from what i can see he only has a floor tom, normal tom, bass, hi-hat, couple of crashes, and a ride, i think, im not sure. Thats going of the Time to waste video. He's a good drummer though.

oh..on the dvd he only had a 4-piece kit (kick, tom, floor tom, snare), hi hats, crash, and ride...but when i saw them live he had the 4-piece with 2 crashes, hats, ride, china, and i think a splash...its kind of like my set but i have a picollo snare too for when i do ska and i dont have a splash...

That's a third crash, not a china I'm pretty sure.

And he doesn't have a small kit. I mean seriously how many punk drummers play on a kit bigger than a 4 piece?

[Bad Blood]

Alkaline Trio is the only band i can listen to at the moment. I'm getting quite obsessed!

[HitHardDrums55]

That's a third crash, not a china I'm pretty sure.

And he doesn't have a small kit. I mean seriously how many punk drummers play on a kit bigger than a 4 piece?
nah, it was a china i was in the front row...i think he uses it in mercy me but i cant remember right now, havent listened to crimson in about a week...i know ive heard a china in one of the crimson songs though

and i never said his kit was small, i just stated its a 4-piece...i usually consider my kit a 4-piece w/ alternate snares cause i usually only use the picollo for effects i consider 5-6 pieces BIG actually...

and i wouldnt call derek a punk drummer...he does ska work and i'm sure with his skill he knows several other styles...as my drum teacher told me: the more styles you have mastered, the more creative you will be in the style you like to play

[poprocks&coke]

OHHHH YEAAAHHH!!!


I've just arranged with a lady from the forums to get me a Trio scarf and some gloves. I am rather happy right now. :D

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

OHHHH YEAAAHHH!!!

lucky bastard. :p

[poprocks&coke]

Bitch*

[Pazz]

I should look into getting an Alkaline Trio t-shirt, I need some t-shirts and I want some band ones.

[HitHardDrums55]

their shirts are pure sex

[Sep]

I want to get a Cursive one and a Modest Mouse one.

[Sep]

Yeah I love how in All On Black for example he does these crazy fast ride-bell patterns. He is one of my favorite drummers and seeing him play live was a joy to watch.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

All On Black is one of my faovurite trio songs.

[Bad Blood]

It's better acoustic.

On Alk3's acoustic songs, Dan's voice is even more secksi!

[HitHardDrums55]

the only trio song i cant even remotely play on drums is sundials..way too fast

[Untitled]

Is the live dvd worth £12 i saw it yestoday but didnt buy it, i might next time in in manc.

[Firecracker]

Yeah get it, but i would draw the line at 14

[Untitled]

well its 12.99 i think. I could find it for ages in this huge shelf of music dvds, then i noticed i was litteraly staring at it

[HitHardDrums55]

what is a £ in comparison to a US $?

[chumpradio]

I would say £6.50=$10 almost. That's just an estimate though.

[matterw4]

theyre pretty good my rythm guitar player went to see them.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Is the live dvd worth £12 i saw it yestoday but didnt buy it, i might next time in in manc.

Live \at the Metro? I paid that for it I reckon. Its £12.99 on Amazon.

[Untitled]

Live \at the Metro? I paid that for it I reckon. Its £12.99 on Amazon.
Yeah, the halloween one.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I think its well worth the buy, its good to see Matt forget lyrics, and its just great to hear the songs rawer than studio versions. Its a must buy for t3h die hard fans like me though. :thumb:

[Untitled]

I wouldnt say im a die hard fan.....

Just yet. I realy want an alk3 tatoo though, i dunno if i want the star, or the heart, and i dunno where, i want it behind my ear.

[Bad Blood]

I'd have the heart on my arm, i think it'd look awesome.

Why would you have it behind your ear?!

[Untitled]

Because, i would.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I want the 3 children running with scissors. Its a FHTI era logo.

[Pazz]

I'd have the heart on my arm, i think it'd look awesome.

Why would you have it behind your ear?!

Because, he likes to be different. :lol:

[HitHardDrums55]

i'd be like joe from the vandals and get it on my tooth...tooth tattoos kick ***

[poprocks&coke]

Hallowe'en at the Metro is £9.99 on play.com

I want the logo with the wings on the back of my neck, or on my clavicle.

See what I did there? Nah, it might look a bit weird. Lol

[HitHardDrums55]

did you just take an alkaline trio song and say thats where you want a tattoo?

by the way: they do a damn (bold cause its very very well, and to block the swear filter) good job w/ clavicle life

[Untitled]

Ive decided what i want, a load of small 5 point stars going around my wrist, then on one side of it, not sure yet, im gonna get the ALk3 star sign there too, but bigger.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/Untitled258/346copy.jpg like that, with more stars

[Pazz]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/Untitled258/346copy.jpg like that, with more stars

Pretty sweet, I wouldn't mind a tattoo on my back or bicep. When I'm older I'm probably going to get one.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I wouldn't mind the heart/skull tatoo on the back of my hand. Its supposed to really hurt there though...

[Natty666]

i havent really listened to alkaline trio but i love the song Private Eye, its so good. i really should get an album by the guys and see what i think...

[Bad Blood]

I can't stop listening to 'My friend Peter' tonight. It's a ****ing awesome song. I wish it was longer !

[Drop The Baby]

yeah my friend peter is one of their best songs imo, completely underated and very very catchy

[Natty666]

what would you guys say their best album is? i really would like to hear more of their songs!

[Bad Blood]

All their albums are amazing.

If you like a 'raw' sounding album, there's their earlier stuff like 'God dammit' and 'Maybe i'll catch fire'

I'd say to get "From here to infirmary' as your first album. It's amazing.

[Drop The Baby]

i think FHTI is considered their best. By me anyway

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Good Mourning is my love.

Their best by far imo.

I lied my face off is a great song.

[Untitled]

From what i have it goes FHTI > MICF > Crimson > S/T

And heres my tat i want, drew in Biro http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/Untitled258/SA400044.jpg

[Oz Rembrandt]

Are we back to this again?!

Goddammit or FHTI. Followed by MICF, s/t, GM, then Crimson.

All are gold. Get them all.

EDIT: Pretty sweet Butler!

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Argh, GM needs more love !

[Bad Blood]

I LOVE good mourning.

I just LOVE all their other albums too.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Good Mourning is Awesome, don't get me wrong! I just like the other albums MORE. The band seemed to be trying to come across Dark and Evil in GM/Crimson, where as before, they where just writing about everyday life with a bitter twist.

Maybe its just me.

[Pazz]

I need to finish downloading all their albums. I have FHTI, GM, 3 songs off of Maybe I'll Catch Fire, and all the songs Chris sent me.

[shangbang]

Is A3 going to come out with anything new soon. Or have they already? I really havn't been keeping up with my music news as well as I should.

They had a new album come out back in May.

[Agent_Orange]

Ohh snap! Got to go to the old record store. I remember talk of it but never really heard any follow up.

[Untitled]

Anyone else think the intro to Youve got so far to go. and the intro a box car song, i forget which, cat like thief i think sound very simaler.

[HitHardDrums55]

the bcr song w/ tim armstrong singing?

[Untitled]

Yup.

[HitHardDrums55]

a little bit...travis and glen both do the accents on hi hats for drums...the beat is definately different though...but tom's guitar part sounds quite a bit like dan's bass line...the bass line in cat like theif isn't steady, there's actually a riff that goes along with kick drum, but i know where you're coming from for sure

[Untitled]

I actully only ment the intro.

[HitHardDrums55]

yeah thats what i was talkin about

if you listen close enough it sounds to me like the bass does along with the bass drum in the intro, but i may be wrong...but the guitar does sound like the bass line dan used, but the alk3 recording is definately older so do the math on who may have copied who ;)

[perkeyset]

hey chumpradio or anyone, could you send me their rarities plz, my email adress is perkeyset@yahoo.com.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Oh we will.

Man, if I had the cash...

[Bad Blood]

The intro to we've got so far to go is exactly the same riff as Cat like thief, only played on bass.

[Oz Rembrandt]

The intro to You've got so far to go is beautiful. I love playing it.

[HitHardDrums55]

yeah, but BCR copied Alk3 if anybody copied anyone else cause youve got so far to go was in the 90's...cat like thief was in what? 02? 03? i cant remember now

[Untitled]

2002.

Dosnt tom love alk3? he proberly asked if he can use that riff or something.
