Ooo... Sunshine! They sound awesome!

Shoulda said you were going to Rock City, then I could have got a ticket too. I wanted to go but had no one to go with :upset:

[Bad Blood]

I was supposed to be going with him. He's going with my girlfriend instead.

Alk3 are my favourite band ever. I feel really bad/gutted that I can't go. :upset:

There will be another concert, maybe...

[Bad Blood]

Haha, I damn sure hope so...

It'll probably be bang in the middle of my A-levels by then thoughm knowing my luck. :rolleyes:

We're off to see Coheed and Thrice around new year, though, which should be ok. Nothing like as good as Alk3 would have been, though.

[Jonny]

Yeah, he's one of my closest mates.

I'm just jelous that they're at an Alk3 show without me. :cries:
Me too man, me too. Especially when Rock City is literally a 5 minute walk from where I live.

i want to pour gasoline all over my body, light myself on fire, and jump out of a 3rd story window after hearing that

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Yay, they were pretty amazing, i can remember them playing Private Eye, This could be love, i lied my face off, burn, back to hell, the poison, mercy me, Sadie, fatally yours, deathbed (i think), armageddon, clavicle, good mourning, maybe i'll catch fire and for the encore they played Radio and Time to waste.

I may have missed some out.

And i met Kif !

[poprocks&coke]

Hell, if you could get me a plectrum with D. Andriano on it, I'd marry you.

That could be easier. I mean like, I got a whole load of CD's I want them to sign, although my mum said I might need to cut it down a bit. Plus, all my friends would want something signed, and if I was like 'Do you have any plectrums?' and pull a sweet smile they might think that was better than having to sign a whole load of other stuff.

I love the band, especially Stupid Kid, Blue Carolina, All on Black etc.

But does anyone else listen to "Good Mourning" and get the slightest feelingthat the singer (forgot the name) sounds like a child with Downs?

Um, I don't think so...Matt sounds funny from all his drinking and smoking.
His voice is still pretty sexy though.

And, once again, for nobody's enjoyment:
Alk3 + Me = <3<3!!! (http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b36/SocksRDaSHEEUT/Photoshop/3ae5c5f9.jpg)

I've been looking for some of the split songs. I can barely find any. :(

[thisis sceneSUICIDE]

Alk3's songs are ace, but I didn't think much of HWM's covers.

I really like them, actually...

I don't think I could say either is better. I'm really very fond of HWM...Almost as much as Alk3.

And ALK3 a million times better then HWM, and HWM are pretty amazing.

Yeah I was dissapointed they didn't play All On Black either. But still such a great show.

[HitHardDrums55]

i think if derek does get a song (im bringing this back from a LONG time ago) it should be an acoustic track on their next album...or maybe acoustic w/ some snare work...something different that the trio usually doesn't do would be fun....maybe acoustic guitar, upright bass, and some snare stuff i dunno...for one track i think it'd be pretty cool but i know his voice goes well with acoustic guitars

[Flex of the Yellow]

Damn you, i could of gone but im not, but i dont care realy, bigger things to worry about.

I don't get your username. Since when is yellow flexible?

[billiejoe84]

maybe acoustic guitar, upright bass, and some snare stuff i dunno...


That does sound rather a lot like 'I Miss You' by Blink. Not that I'd object to that personally, as I love Blink, but dunno how other Trio fans would take it...

[HitHardDrums55]

nah, i dont think mark recorded it on upright, just the vid? but thats just what ive heard i dont know for sure...and the drums would be a lot cooler and guitar would be too cause Skiba>Tom and Derek>Travis

[Pazz]

nah, i dont think mark recorded it on upright, just the vid? but thats just what ive heard i dont know for sure...and the drums would be a lot cooler and guitar would be too cause Skiba>Tom and Derek>Travis

He did record it upright. It says so in the S/T cover. And Alkaline Trio fans probably wouldn't be to impressed if they copied Blink.

[billiejoe84]

I would put both Skiba/Delonge and Grant/Barker about level actually. Tom and Travis tend to get flamed because people resent their popularity, but seriously, all four are good at what they do.


Although Matt is a better singer than Tom. :thumb:

[billiejoe84]

/agrees.

I'm guessing that means you disagree with the other part?


/me stands by opinions

[HitHardDrums55]

i actually like to believe that skiba and grant are more creative than delonge and barker...not to say delonge and barker aren't good...but if you listen to em back to back you can see who the more creative band is...barker is probably quicker than grant, but grant has more technique and style and can definately mix genres into the alk3 style...i dont know much about guitar, but i personally like the way skiba plays better than delonge...

and i didnt even realize that was the same thing as blink until you guys pointed it out :( if they put their own spin on it though it'd be different...which it already would be a little bit, as if it was how i imagined it, it would be ALL snare work (unlike I Miss You), the drummer singing, and probably a bit faster

[Pazz]

I think Alkaline Trio is better with their instruments.

[billiejoe84]

Well, I'd apply what you said about the drummers to both of them. Barker is fast as ****, but I think Grant is clearly more inventive and better at fitting his beats to the song. Ditto Delonge: He is capable of playing stupidly fast riffs (see some old-school live stuff for proof of this) but I think generally Skiba riffs are a bit more consistently fitting to the song. I guess it depends what you look for - balls-out energy or fitting the song, and I think there's time for both in my mind, which is why I put both level.

[HitHardDrums55]

ah i see...oh well...im waiting for toms new band and travis and marks new band...they should be pretty sick...wouldnt it be weird if alk3 toured with a band like mxpx? that would be pretty cool, but it would never happen in a million years

[Oz Rembrandt]

Andriano pwns Hoppus though...

They can all play better, But marks vioce owns Matts and Dans.

I wish my band liked good music, it would own so hard to cover an ALk3 song, id wanna do armageden, yes, well we was gonna cover time to waste but we didnt.

[Bad Blood]

It's like that with Rupert (logical harm). We sound good and everything, he just doesn't want to cover any decent songs.

I suggested to cover This Could Be Love, he said no because it sounded too cheesey. He doesn't like Alk3, though.

We covered a modest mouse song, which sucks imo.

[Untitled]

My bands covering trivium and bullet for my valantine apparently, so i told them to piss off and look for a new bassist.

Haha, i wanna start a pop-punk band, i have a guitest lined up, i just need the rest, drummer etc, if worst comes to worst, i will sing myself.

[Bat_Country]

:D

About 4 and a half hours now!

[HitHardDrums55]

i think matt's voice is the best of the four, but i think mark is better than dan especially in the earlier stuff...dan's getting better...but when playing ability kicks in dan is 150% better than mark...i dont think tom's that bad, just the worst of the 4...

i wish MY band could get together...one of our guitarists sold his strat on ebay and might be buying our keyboardist's gibson from him...our bassist is in NY and our keyboardist is in Germany....and our singer won't get singing lessons until he gets the money so thank god you cant hear local bands vocals too well live :)

[Oz Rembrandt]

Well, they cant go on a crimson tour and not play crimson songs, its only nateral they play prodiminatly songs off there latest cd.

[Bad Blood]

Yeah, Dan said they barely played any of his favourite songs. They played pretty much every song from Crimson.

Edit: NP: Matt Skiba - Demons. Man, this song is awesome. One of my favourite slower songs.

Ive not heard any of the solo stuff, i wouldnt mind hearing Dans, a whole album of his vioce would me mintos.

York uni is mint. Plus you could hang out with me.


And join my pop-punk band.... Nah, just teasing. Although you're probably better than my current bassist, both at bass and vocals. Bless him, I have to tell him exactly what to do for everything (in a musical sense at least, although heaven knows he could use some advice in other areas too).

[poprocks&coke]

OK people, 6 hours and counting til I meet the Trio.

I'd assume for a signing like at Nottingham. I met them at 5:30, show started at 7:30.

I heard demo for dethbed and loved it

[chumpradio]

I saw them last night.
I was greatly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it was a great show, but it could have been so much better. Clavicle was probably the only old song they played (pre-MICF), and they didn't play so many of my favourites.

I screamed for them to play Every Thug Needs A Lady, and I saw Matt was about to play a G chord, and was all :eek:, but it turned out to be I Was A Prayer.

But I lied my face off was immense.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I went mental for I Lied My Face Off.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Haha, same.

As with This could be love, radio, Private Eye and Clavicle.

[HitHardDrums55]

that sucks, when i saw them they had a long enough to play majority of the crimson songs (exception of maybe 1 or 2) and a TON of old songs i know they played clavicle, nose over tail, 97, not so much from FHTI, but a lot of stuff from before it and a lot of stuff from after...i cant remember what all they played anymore, it was back in July

kif...can you send all those songs? that'd be quite awesome

[billiejoe84]

kif...can you send all those songs? that'd be quite awesome

Yeah, please do, sounds cool.

[Kif]

OK, I have some bad news. My computer is playing up today, and decided to spazz out for no reason, so I'm stuck on my old computer, which means I don't have the songs. Sorry guys, there's not much I can do until my computer is fixed.

[billiejoe84]

Bloody computers.


Mine has been acting stupid recently as well, for no reason also. It occasionally randomly resets itself, which is really annoying.

[HitHardDrums55]

run anti-virus programs...theres a thread somewhere in the pit that has a ton of programs you can download....i fixed my computer through one of them

the gig last night was awesome!!!

Radio was amazing when the whole crowd sang the chorus, without any of the band playing.
It was a pretty crazy crowd, I had to go to the back for a few songs because I was too hot. I returned during Dethbed though, and was nearly at the barrier, right in front of Matt.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Yeah, my fave part was when in this could be love, and you know the bit where he goes "this could be love.... LOVE FOR FIRE" they got the while crowd to sing love for fire, it was amazing.

[Flex of the Yellow]

Radio was amazing when the whole crowd sang the chorus, without any of the band playing.
It was a pretty crazy crowd, I had to go to the back for a few songs because I was too hot. I returned during Dethbed though, and was nearly at the barrier, right in front of Matt.
yeah it was pretty close, near the front. I got stuck behind this BEHEMOTH of a guy right in front of the barrier like a foot from Dan :upset:

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

When I went to the concert in July, there was a massive crowd and I stood at like the middle, and I had to go through a ****ing circle pit to get to the front of the stage. And I wasn't even at the front of the stage. Ergh.

Btw, I'm still looking for Goddamnit if anyone would be kind enough to send it to me. :)

[HitHardDrums55]

kif, did you download the songs or buy them?

does anybody have "Fine Without You (Carmen Rizzo Remix)"?

I did have it. If it's what I'm thinking of, I deleted it because it was so terrible.

[Polyamarous]

the best gig i've been to (although i haven't been to that many)

Best gig ive been to and Ive been to loads. It was so awesome I cant describe and Bristol Academy is now my favorite venue! :D

That guy with the 'Nose Over Tail' Sign. So amazing

Acadamy and Clubs are the best gigs going.
Then maybe the appollos and such
Then the arenas.

Apologies for the blurring and the weird faces I'm pulling on the pics, I didn't know when the girl was going to take them, so my face kinda turned out weird. And I can't make that one of me with them any bigger, which is a bummer. Matt said he liked my jacket though, and he called me sweetie and gave me a hug. Then we had a conversation about H&M and Primark. And Derek said he liked my scarf and my bag made his eyes hurt then he fixed my camera. And I saw Heather, but I didn't get a picture :( Dan didn't really say much.

[chumpradio]

My band are possibly going to cover Warbrain by the Trio, which would be great.
Other Trio songs we considered were :
I Lied My Face Off
Hell Yes
Old School Reasons
Back To Hell
Armageddon
Mr Chainsaw

And Lily, those pictures look rather cool. Wish I could have met them. :(

[Bad Blood]

Lily, you are one lucky girl.

[Polyamarous]

Who thought Dan looked wierd with a beard?

[Bad Blood]

I was thinking that actually.

[poprocks&coke]

Yeah I didn't recognise him for am minute when I walked in, and then I was like Holy crap! It's Dan with a beard!

Haha, I think they should all grow beards and become a hobo band. Mind you, I say that about every band. It's just cause some guys in the 6th Form at my school did it for charity once and it was effing hilarious. They said they were raising money for Kenneth the log and to buy White Lightning cider. :lol:

Well, I found it funny...

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

You lucky duck, you! I'm jealous! :upset:

Well, now I know what I want for my birthday.

[Polyamarous]

yeah it was pretty close, near the front. I got stuck behind this BEHEMOTH of a guy right in front of the barrier like a foot from Dan :upset:

Ah i must've been close to you. I was about 4th row form front when the BIG FAT ARSE CLOWN of a guy pushed his way infront of everyone. His friends werent too small either. They all got pushed to the pit at the back.

[chumpradio]

I've just recorded a cover of Warbrain, but my voice is really bad because I have a cold. :(
I was trying to refrain from coughing the whole way, and sound completely toneless. I can't reach any of the right notes at all because my voice is so weak from the cold. :(

[Flex of the Yellow]

We once tried covering This Could Be Love once, on spec, and it went badly like that.

Our singer sucks, he can't stay in time and has NO tone whatsoever

/goes away to seethe with jealousy

I still think Matt looks like a manikin.

[billiejoe84]

*mannequin


sp++

But yes. Rather scarily. At least on pictures he does. In the flesh he's a bit more... real.

[Dead Star]

Lily, I envy you so much.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Dan had a beard when is aw him (well duh) and it looks cool.

I think i now have all of the trios albums, im happy now :cool:

[Untitled]

Everyone smiles around you lily :)

[HitHardDrums55]

this is true...even me...and i dont know you at all

[Bad Blood]

Man, I LOVE 'Wash Away'.

Edit: It has a solo in it. That's a first from Alk3.

[HitHardDrums55]

does the original have a solo? i cant remember its been a while since i've heard that one

[Bad Blood]

I don't know. It's on their Myspace, so i'm not sure if its the original.

[benfan]

i saw these guys on the 21st they were awesome, my favourite song is either I lied my face off or Continental

[HitHardDrums55]

nah i know Wash Away is a TSOL song, but i cant remember if it had a solo too...i'll have to listen again

[Bad Blood]

Oh right. Cool.

I haven't heard the original.

[poprocks&coke]

Did they play Continental on the tour? I thought they were going to play One Hundred Stories, but they didn't.

[Polyamarous]

they didnt play either which was a shame
They played sadie so i was happy

HAHAHA Did anyone see the Bristol stage dive?
Soooooooooo bad.

[billiejoe84]

No? What happened?

[Polyamarous]

No? What happened?

Some drunken guy tryed to get on to stage to dive, made it on to the barrier to dive and fell over, slipped and whcked is face onto the barrier, knocked at hell of a lot of teeth, literally there was blood everywhere. It was halfway through a song so no one mad enay fuss over it.
:lol:

[Bad Blood]

Haha, awesome.

You get some right 'tards at gigs.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I'd've Loved to hear Sadie live...

[Flex of the Yellow]

they played it last thursday WHOO (manc academy)

it ruled, although you couldn't hear the womans voice over the crowd

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Yeah, they did play it at Notts, it was awesome.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

They played Sadie here, but when Matt did the "whoa-oooh" parts, ewww his screaming was terrible!

Wow, am I just about the only American trio fan in here?

[Pazz]

I think I'm the only Canadian fan in here.:p

[HitHardDrums55]

chillbee, im in the carolinas

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

chillbee, im in the carolinas

Oh, okay. Then me and you are the only American's. North or South Carolina?

[HitHardDrums55]

north but im in south a lot too so i just say carolinas

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Hmmm oookay.

[schwypees]

Im from Chicago

I think I know some other guys from Chicago....

[billiejoe84]

I know a guy who allegedly went to the Bristol show. I may have to interrogate him regarding the stagedive incident.


And Sadie live would be amazing, although I can imagine it sounding less powerful live. Dunno why, I just think it would be kinda hard to reproduce to the same quality.

[Polyamarous]

I can imagine it sounding less powerful live.

Trust me, it wasn't
It was part of the encore and it really was awesome.

my friend zac is better live on keys than the guy who does the keys for alk3, he actually plays every part of Time To Waste, the other guy just plays the basic notes and none of the hard stuff if any of you have seen them play it live on conan obrian

[Bad Blood]

God, I am in love with their acoustic stuff.

[chumpradio]

This morning I downloaded their acoustic set from London in May (God, Clavicle makes a better acoustic song than I expected), and the second disc of the Deluxe version of Crimson.
Time To Waste's intro is so bad, and the whole song isn't as good all around.
Back To Hell is terrible as well, and Burn sounds really bad with just Matt's original parts. It's really weird how much some of the songs have changed.

[Bad Blood]

I downloaded the London performance too.

A lot of the songs on it I haven't heard played acoustic before.

Crawl is awesome played acoustic.

[Gnarmageddon]

/me downloaded the london acoustic thing also

[Flex of the Yellow]

cheers, i couldn't find it

[HitHardDrums55]

if my band did an older alk3 song and we either included keys, violin, synth, or sax (we have a member who plays all 4, and he's learning more i think pretty soon), what do you guys think would be a good song to cover and what should zac use on it? he can do keys and synth together if necessary

[Oz Rembrandt]

Exploding Boy is a Cure song which has some synthesizer in it, its from Alkaline Trio.

[HitHardDrums55]

im talking about a song the trio actually wrote...although their version of exploding boy is pretty amazing...i cant decide which ones better either...

but yeah we will more than likely cover a cure song too....maybe one of their darker songs to do something different than what every other cure cover i've ever heard. ive only heard covers of songs like lovesong and boys dont cry...zac wants to do Killing an Arab though, not really dark, but it is a cool song

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Hrm, you of course have the songs from Crimson. Uhh, Crawl has a bit of keys in it at the end.

[Oz Rembrandt]

zac wants to do Killing an Arab though, not really dark, but it is a cool song


Its a pretty dark song.

I have a cover of the Hanging Garden by AFI too.

Much love for the Cure.

[HitHardDrums55]

the afi version of hanging garden is pretty swell...havent listened to it in a while...and yes, the cure deserves MUCH love from everybody in the hizouse

but for the trio cover, i was thinking either from god dammit or self titled...maybe MICF...i dunno



does this ever happen to you guys: all my subscriptions have been deleted and now i have to search for everything again, is there a way other than searching for everything a posting in it to restore all my subscriptions? this is the 2nd time it's happened

[Drop The Baby]

my friend zac is better live on keys than the guy who does the keys for alk3, he actually plays every part of Time To Waste, the other guy just plays the basic notes and none of the hard stuff if any of you have seen them play it live on conan obrian

The fact that he doesn't do it live doesn't mean he can't. It might just have been part of the routine, or whatever.

The guy who plays keyboard for Alk3 told me he though your friend was sh!t

[HitHardDrums55]

dood i was just messin around...i gotta give the guy props for writing that, it's cool as hell

but zac is practically a musical genious he can play guitar, bass, keys, sax, violin, cello, could easily learn upright bass cause its so similar to cello, several different percussion instruments, and he's about to learn drums...and he's a pretty good singer too when he tries...and he can play time to waste note for note on keys...we walked in an electronics store that had a keyboard and he started playing it and it was awesome sounding...he did admit that it was a hard song though

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Did he learn Time to Waste by ear? I wanna learn how to play it.

[DJ Ducksauce]

They have the piano intro tabbed out pretty well on powertabs.net

I'm starting to like A3 a lot now.

[HitHardDrums55]

yeah he learns everything by ear, he can't read music anymore he hasnt had lessons since he was 7 and hes 16 now

warbrain is on rock against bush vol. 1

OK cheers.

Is that any good? Apart form Warbrain?

[HitHardDrums55]

i agree with Oz...somebody get and post Buried...and someone said they had the full version of Bye Bye Love (alk3 version), who was it? i dont feel like finding it, my computer is way too slow

with yousendit...why do you have to put hxxp instead of http? anytime there is an http link it works for me...

EDIT:
OK cheers.

Is that any good? Apart form Warbrain?
yeah, it's better than a lot of compilation CDs in my opinion...its got a re-recorded version of an Offspring song (Baghdad...used to be Terhan), the NOFX song isnt on any other CDs its really cool, i'm almost positive Jello Biafra sings one of the songs on there...it sounds a lot like him at least when my friend plays his copy in the car on the way to school...i havent looked at who all is on it in a while or listened to my copy...but if you like the bands on there then you will like most of it...plus, its about half as much as a regular CD i dont know how much that is in europe, but in the US its $7 when a full length CD is from $13-$19

[Polyamarous]

Ok cheers alot. Ill check it out.

Yes. Yes You Should.

I may adopt the surname Andriano...

[HitHardDrums55]

poprocks&coke...make sure he starts drums when he's like 2 so he can be as good as derek grant when hes about 15 ;) and an electric drumset so he doesnt go deaf!

did u guys know derek started recording when he was 16? kinda pisses me off, im 16 and havent even got a decent band together out of trying for the 4 years ive been drumming..

[Agent_Orange]

Hey I didn't get a good band togather until just recently and i've been playing guitar for 8 yrs and have been playing drums for like 10.

[HitHardDrums55]

well my only band that ever played in front of people had 2 bass players, no official singer (much less lyrics)...a friend of the guy who recruited me improvises lyrics for his band so he sang for us that was cool...and our guitarist was just getting into being straight edge after cleaning up on all the stuff he had been doing before...we had one pracitce with a show already scheduled (the old drummer bailed, and i had never heard these guys and i only knew one of them), me and the guitarist both got grounded pretty quickly after first practice and i got off restriction the day before our gig...we got kicked off stage after 3 songs and im still trying to decide if it was cause we sucked too bad and nobody liked us, or if they told the truth (it WAS at a church) and we just refused to play quieter

thats why this band is gonna take time to learn stuff before we schedule any shows or anything im kind of in charge of this band so i'll know when we're ready

[billiejoe84]

Shall I name my kid Derek?

No, you should name him something different, just so as you don't go along with prevailing opinion. Call it Saddam... no kid is called that.


God damn, I love taking different views from everyone else.


And what if it's a girl?

sh!tty. but really fun anyway. and im glad i had the experience man! cause now im not scared to go on stage at all with a GOOD band, because now i know there is nothing worse than what i had.

and these guys were into hardcore/straight edge and no covers at all, needless to say i stuck to my promise of playing the upcoming gig with them, but i quit the band immediately afterward...this new one will have a trio cover or 2 and will hopefully be better than all the other bands who did trio covers that ive heard

[billiejoe84]

Oooh. What covers?


I demand recordings.



Mainly as I love hearing covers of 'big band' songs. Also nobody on here ever gave a crap about hearing my band's songs from our first gig, so I try to make up for it by listening to other people's stuff.

[HitHardDrums55]

we havent decided yet...but our singer is the only guy who isnt big into the trio...me and the keyboardist/violinist/syth guy/whatever else he will be doing for us/probably recording guy are HUGE into alk3...he'd probably be a member of mx if he had a computer that wasnt crap...when we get our stuff together we'll get it recorded though

[HitHardDrums55]

anybody have the re-release of crimson yet?

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I downloaded it. It's pretty good. Some songs are booooring though. Others, I think that they should've used instead of the ones they used now.

Dan's voice is so damn SEXY in Mercy Me.

[HitHardDrums55]

god damn, mx deleted all of my subscriptions AGAIN...what the hell? why does it do that?

[DJ Ducksauce]

So, I learned Sadie, and I'm starting to learn the intro to Time to Waste on piano. Fun. I must have listened to Sadie 50 times this week.
