There, I fixed up my avatar. It got to big so I had to take one of the CD covers off, so I chose to take off the Delirium Trigger (EP).

It was too big? Thats odd. My PTW one wasn't too big and it had more stuff than yours :-/

[Pazz]

More than 7 slides? I think just because I had so many pictures in it. Oh well.

[B]

More than 7 slides? I think just because I had so many pictures in it. Oh well.
Yeah, it may be because you have some extra stuff in there, mine was too big at first but I went through all the slides and noticed I had tons of extra colour square thingys. I cleaned it up and had like 2 of the 20 left for space.

[YDload]

It has been done before coheed... I change my mind all the time, was in a ska band 2 months ago and i'm still in a local indie band, so meh, it wouldn't end up sounding much like them at all. Some people really need to chill out with the coheed-obsessed thing.

If you're trying to make a band with many of their characteristics, then I'd say you're the one who needs to "chill out with the coheed-obsessed thing."

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I agree.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I learning the Welcome Home solo. It's pretty tight.

[Holyed]

Jarring people.

[TMA]

I learning the Welcome Home solo. It's pretty tight.
That sh*ts so hard to play. When I have the time, I'm gonna try to learn it too. I know how to play almost all lead on Lying Lies And Dirty Secrets Of Miss Erica Court.
But you know what a fun song to play is?
Crossing The Frame. So is Ten Speed.

[Sep]

Yeah, Crossing The Frame has some great fun riffs.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Out of GA, I've only learned Welcome Home and Always and Never. I haven't had much time to learn the others yet. I've got the tabs though.

[Spectrum]

Yeah, Crossing the Frame and Ten Speed do sound like they'd be fun to play, and I'm sure Welcome Home is quite a good one to play as well once you get it all.

[DJ Ducksauce]

The Suffering sounds really fun.

Oh, and I can play most of The Final Cut. Haven't looked at the solo yet.

EDIT: Whatever happened to Jon(The Crowing)? I don't think he's been here in a while.

[Society Sellout]

I'm trying to learn how to play the crowing but it's kinda hard on an acoustic because that's all I got atm to play on hehe.... can't reach... 17th fret... sigh... what a good song though.

Oh btw mx doesn't have many tabs for the new album where are you guys finding tabs for them(ie ten speed)?

[YDload]

I can play The Crowing on bass. Sometimes I even play the guitar parts in the intro and that awesome breakdown (no pinch harmonics for me though :()

[tsl_ste]

does anyone have the live cd/dvd?

i do :cool:

[DJ Ducksauce]

Oh btw mx doesn't have many tabs for the new album where are you guys finding tabs for them(ie ten speed)?
I use powertabs. It's pretty good. You can actually play the tabs and it's free. You need a download, but it's not too big. About half an hour with dial-up.

does anyone have the live cd/dvd?

i do :cool:Me too. :wave: It's pretty awesome.

[Sep]

I tabbed out like the first 4 minutes of the Crowing on drums. It's fun to play.

[TMA]

I use powertabs. It's pretty good. You can actually play the tabs and it's free. You need a download, but it's not too big. About half an hour with dial-up.
Yeah, I use PT also. It's a fantastic program and a lot of the tabs are almost 100% accurate, especially the Coheed tabs... except for one specific Junesong Provision tabs... it's horrid.
And I also use Guitar Pro. It's very similar in ways, except you can also do drum with GP, which is also a handy thing. However, there aren't as many people using GP as there are people using PT, so the options are more limited. But sometimes if you can't find a Powertab file of a song you're looking for, you might find a Guitar Pro file of it. Not often, but sometimes.
They already have PT files for I think all of Good Apollo.

[oathfbass]

Does anyone have some idea as to what the book is gonna be about or suggestions?

[B]

The graphic novel for Good Apollo is already out as far as I know, so are some of the comics for SSTB.

[oathfbass]

Thanks that really helps a lot

[B]

No problem. The story is really cool.

[oathfbass]

So in the suffering video are those like the acutall characters or does each character symbolise something like for example the centuar,the scorpions, and the mermaid?

[B]

I'm pretty sure it's got nothing to do with the story.

[oathfbass]

O ok cause it doenst seem to make sense with the lyrics

[B]

I know :p.

[cobert]

I still havent seen the suffering video, but my friend who has says its EXTREMELY corny (just like pretty much anything dealing with Coheed is).

[B]

It is kind of. I've seen it once and it's really really odd. I wish they had something to do with the story.

[cobert]

Meh, not having any story in it makes it appeal more to people that arent fans. Im actually glad the videos dont relate to the story, its a nice break from all of the confusion.

[B]

I think the video would be less confusing if it were about the story :p.

[cobert]

haha, by the explanation of what the video is, i guess it would be less confusing.

I still need to learn godsend conspirator on bass.

[B]

I tried to find it on the intraweb somewhere but I can't. Sorry.

[cobert]

Nah, its cool. Ill learn it up my friends house on powertabs.

My english teacher was playing 'Junesong Provision' on a CD player in his room today. Me and my friend gave him the CD to see if he'd like it.

[B]

I meant the video :p.

I like playing IKSOSE:3. On guitar though, not bass. It's fun. Easy as hell, but still fun.

[cobert]

oic.
When my band plays IKSOSE, i play the
D:---6-6----6-6
A:4------4----- Part on bass while the guitar does lead.

[DJ Ducksauce]

/bump

CobaltandCalcium updated their wallpapers. Some are pretty tight. I see a new avatar in the near future...

[DepthsOfDreams555]

My friend's friend made a sweet wallpaper and I have used that.

[cobert]

My wallpaper is clouds.

Im not chaning it either, you bitches.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I got a sweet Coheed sweatshirt but I can't find any pictures of it online so I can't show you what it looks like. Take me word for it, its sweet.

[Pazz]

My wallpaper is clouds.

Im not chaning it either, you bitches.

Where have you been in the last couple of days?

[cobert]

Where have you been in the last couple of days?

Not near a computer. And when i was, MX was being gay.

[Pazz]

Not near a computer. And when i was, MX was being gay.

Oh, well it was pretty quiet without you.:p

[cobert]

I was surprised that when i left this thread didnt die. Props to depthsofdreams for keeping it intact.

Yeah, depthsofdreams maintained the thread well in your absence. Props to him indeed.

[Pazz]

I was surprised that when i left this thread didnt die. Props to depthsofdreams for keeping it intact.

It was close to dying. In other news, I'm looking for Coheed and Cambria t-shirts to get for Christmas.

[cobert]

/has 2 coheed shirts

I dont think i need anymore from them. The next band shirt ill buy is probably thursday.

[Pazz]

/has 2 coheed shirts

I dont think i need anymore from them. The next band shirt ill buy is probably thursday.

I don't have any band t-shirts. Just 3 Atticus t-shirts. I want a Coheed & Cambria t-shirt or zip sweater, From First To Last t-shirt, Finch t-shirt and a Thursday t-shirt. Which Coheed t-shirt to ask for though..:confused:

[cobert]

Get the one that shows the whole band naked on the front.

[Pazz]

Get the one that shows the whole band naked on the front.

:confused: :naughty: I'm thinking about the one with the dominoes.

[cobert]

:confused:

Get me a picture of that, plz. The only shirt ive seen from the new album is the red and black one with the wierd dragonfly, not the normal one, on it, and it has the IV and all.

[Pazz]

http://www.interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=43989&

That one there, if the link works. When a website says Out of Print for a t-shirt, does it mean they don't make them anymore?

[cobert]

Hmm, ive never seen that shirt.

Yeah, im pretty sure thats what it means.

[Pazz]

Hmm, ive never seen that shirt.

Yeah, im pretty sure thats what it means.

Damn, no From First To Last t-shirt then. It's the coolest shirt ever. Well, Coheed will make everything all better. Anyways, I'm out for the night.

[cobert]

I just listened to Junesong provision for the first time in a while, and its really powerful, especially the parts where claudio screams around 'god knows youve lost'.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I listened to Junesong and Neverender last night in the car. I really enjoy those two songs they are some of my favorites off Second Stage although it doesn't get any better then Everything Evil and Delirium Trigger.

[Gnarmageddon]

The acoustic version of Junesong Provision is sweet. With the Army of Darkness bit in it.

[cobert]

I think either delirium trigger, Hearshot kid disaster, time consumer, or junesong provision are my favorites.


The synth track on I, Robot is awesome.

[The_Red_Death]

For me it's a 3 way tie between Time Consumer, Delirium Trigger and Everything Evil. Also, anyone know what kind of acoustic Claudio uses on the Starland DVD when he plays The Light And The Glass? (Also, I just learned the DVD version of that song. Crazy fun to play)

[Society Sellout]

The brand escapes my mind right now but I played on one when I was at guitar center last time and they are pretty nice acoustics. I love playing the intro to the light and glass and speeding it up really really fast just for kicks. I've gotten to where I can sing with it too now I just need to remember the lyrics :P.

[Borkola]

Amazing in so many ways. They haven't had one bad album, including the Shabutie years. IKSOSE:3 is suckage compared to the rest of their stuff, but it's still a good album. The first three tracks are so perfectly put together, on Good Apollo. Willing Well I: Fuel For the Feeding End is my favorite Coheed track. Good Apollo and Second Stage are probably in my top ten albums list.

[Kif]

Prize Fighter Inferno Myspace (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=37305643&Mytoken=F245E9F4-3CDA-4C3E-A556DBC391FA2FD3193120656)

Yes, I am posting a Myspace, but Claudio has "reopened" his acoustic side project with 3 new songs on there to stream. Also, he will soon be releasing a record under this name, titled My Brother's Blood Machine, which I can't wait for.

[Mute Print]

Those songs sound awesome. I can't wait for the album.

[Kif]

Right I need to rip these and keep them along with their other 1 song and 3 demos on repeat.

[Kif]

http://prizefight.servemp3.com/

You can get them all these in MP3 (RapidShare links though, the worst link on the Internet ever!)

I love "The Margretville Town Dance", it reminds me of Final Fantasy for some reason.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Sweet Kif thanks.

[oathfbass]

What do you'll think Coheed is going to do after they finish making their story albums?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

It was in the AP magazine interview. Claudio says that they have two more albums to go and if the band wants to quit then they will quit but if they feel like playing more music then he has a story already kind of planned out that will feed right off of the Coheed and Cambria storyline.

[Kif]

Either make another story, or split up. Although after that amount of time together, I honestly can't see them splitting.

[Mute Print]

I hope they don't split up. That would not be cool.

[oathfbass]

so its a sequel,eh,i hope it doenst suck lost most sequels do

[Kif]

so its a sequel,eh,i hope it doenst suck lost most sequels do
Haha, I can imagine that, the story is really crappy and all their fans revolt and get them to play their older stuff at gigs.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

That would be so stupid. If the music is good it shouldn't effin matter what the storyline brings. It is cool to have it but they are a band not a bunch of authors.

[Kif]

Yeah but I imagine there are Coheed fans who are more addicted to the storyline than the music.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I know and that just makes me laugh because they are stupid.

[Kif]

You know what I've been wondering? The albums all are centred around like themes and certain parts of the story, right? So what about the b-sides and stuff? "Elf Tower, New Mexico", "Cassiopeia" and "Nauraushaun"?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I know I'm not sure there are explanations for those but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head but I know I have read something about them. Also I was thinking it would be cool on stage if Claudio was like Hehe Shabutie. haha

[Kif]

Haha I bet he did that at their older gigs. Would've been funny to watch.

Yeah, it's annoying sometimes because I listen to the lyrics and think "OK, where does this fit into the story... dammit!" then I get confused and leave it alone.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I can't piece stuff together myself I just read about it haha.

[Mute Print]

I have no clue about the story. I've never even taken the time to read about.

[Fish]

Now with the 3rd album im so lost in the story, but i saw them on wed. and they were amazing! probably the second best concert I've been to, after Green Day ;)

[cobert]

/Is a nerd that follows the story

-Elf Power-
Elf power was originally supposed to be in place of everything evil. Claudio decided to write a different story in place of Elf Power, and cut it from the CD. He said its a dead storyline, and shouldnt be taken into consideration when trying to figure out the story.

-Cassiopeia-
I dont think this song is part of a story, but a seperate song on its own.

In mythology Cassiopeia was the wife of the ethiopian king of joppa. She promised her daughter to marry perseus (the warrior who killed medusa) and before the ceremony could take place, she had second thoughts. She ordered one of neptunes sons to stop the wedding. He brought an army to the ceremony, and a battle ensued. Using medusas head, perseus won the battle by turning them all to stone. Neptune put cassiopeia into the heavens, but made her sit on a chair on the pole star, so she would have to sit upside down half of the time. Still, the lyrics are vague and dont connect much (seemingly) to the myth.

-Nauraushaun-
All ive learned about this is that Nauraushaun is a town in Rockland county, New York, which is near Nyack (Coheed's hometown). Again....the lyrics dont seem to relate much to the title.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Today I went to the mall and got this. (http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=492969)Of course, I look much better in it than that guy. :p
My bro got this. (http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=149559)
I was close to getting the graphic novel, but my parents wouldn't get it because of the PA sticker. They would rather spend $45 dollars on a hoodie than $15 on something that will "mess up my mind".

/:rolleyes:

[Mute Print]

That hoodie is sweet. $45 is kind of crazy for a sweatshirt, but it's still awesome.

The shirt is pretty cool looking too.

[Gnarmageddon]

The stuff at Hot Topic is insanely overpriced, but those shirts are still badarse.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Yeah it is. If you're lucky to find something good on the clearance rack, you can get some pretty cheap stuff sometimes.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Thanks Cobert for that info on those songs I couldn't remember anything about those. AZN, ya I have that zip-up I got it at the concert and I have that shirt too I bought that at Hot Topic I also have this cool zip-up with a girl and she is in like an oval picture frame and its kind of like melting and shes in the middle with her knee up over her face and her arm is hanging over her knee its pretty cool.


Now with the 3rd album im so lost in the story, but i saw them on wed. and they were amazing! probably the second best concert I've been to, after Green Day

The new album really isn't that hard to understand once you understand the transitions that it makes, cause I was lost at first but now I get it.
Didn't they let you get the album with the sticker on it?

EDIT: The PA sticker isn't even that big of a deal there are like 3 f words and some swearing here and there, it isn't that bad you should get it.

[oathfbass]

Whats the 3rd album basically about?It seems to me he doenst like ewwo that much.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Newo is out of Claudio's life I think that she cheated on him or something but I don't know if you kno the concept of the writer. Do you? Gimmie an answer here haha.

[oathfbass]

Nope,.....what does the album title mean?does it have something to do with the monstar virus thing? "from fear through the eyes of madness", and the "good apollo im burning star 4" is that an action?meaning hes actually burning a star?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Alright well God is The Writer (The Writing Writer) and The Writer in reality is a human just like me and you and he is writing the story of Coheed and Cambria. This is first introduced in this album and the album is taking you through what happens to The Writer as he seeks to end his story and Claudio as what to do as The Crowing. The Writer actually has taken his story and based what happens in his life on the story that he is writing. Erica Court is The Writers old girlfriend and she cheated on him so Newo I guess cheated on Claudio, but Ambellina represents the good part of love and Claudio loves Ambellina.

During this album The Writer is tryin to end his story because it is causing him to much stress and to help him do this his sub-consience(I can never spell this word) is Ten Speed and he is a bike. Ten Speed says that if The Writer kills Ambellina and takes her out of the story then he will be freed from it and he won't be burdened anymore, but he doesn't want to kill her. Meanwhile on the ship Grail Arbor, Claudio and Jesse land on a Omega and are attacked by The Red Army. Jesse is killed and his I-Robot Chase goes insane or something. Then towards the end The Writer finally enters the world of his story and kills off Ambellina. Then Claudio is like going crazy and then The Writer tells Claudio that he is The Crowing and that he is "Burning Star IV" now I haven't been on Cobalt in a while but I am pretty sure we are not sure exactly what that means. In my opinion all the planets are orbiting around Star IV now because of the seperation of Sector 12 and when Claudio "burns" Star IV he is basically destroying everything but I am not sure.

I just kind of gave you a basic overview there are a lot more details and stuff but go to Hot Topic and buy the Graphic Novel and go to CobaltandCalcium.com to get more on the story. Hope this helped some.

In the song 2:from fear through the eyes of madness it says:

"with your last breath of air
as the earth comes trembling down
would you give her this last night
and give up your life
no one runs faster than you can
no one runs faster than you
no one runs faster than you eat
to the end with you... to the end with you"


so could this be after he burns star 4 and ambelinna is dead?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I recall a time in which I saw a shirt at Hot Topic that was $20 and then I went to a show and saw the same shirt for $5.

[Fish]

really? when i went and saw coheed and cambria the shirts there were like $30

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Really? The first time I saw them (warped) I got a shirt for $15. The second time (in october) I got a shirt for $12.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Didn't they let you get the album with the sticker on it?

EDIT: The PA sticker isn't even that big of a deal there are like 3 f words and some swearing here and there, it isn't that bad you should get it.
Still haven't bought the album yet. :p I really need to. I downloaded it a long time ago before it was released.

/cheap

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya no joke dude haha go buy that mess. The shirts at the show I went to were 20 bucks.

In the song 2:from fear through the eyes of madness it says:

"with your last breath of air

so could this be after he burns star 4 and ambelinna is dead?

I don't know anything coudl be possible he hasn't burned the star yet though.

[oathfbass]

O ok,why would he tell his dog that he is burning it?Apollo must have some key roll in the book,since you hear him bark at the end of the album.

[dar482]

I'm going to their concert on Thursday with mewithoutyou, Dredg, and Blood Brothers!

[cobert]

Dredg live: Allright, i just dont like the band
Mewithoutyou: Meh
Blood brothers: Energetic, but again, i just dont like the band
Coheed: Played every song perfect, but only 4 older songs.

Also, Apollo is the name of the sun god in mythology, and the sun is a star. Just something to wrap your mind around.

[oathfbass]

Dredg live: Allright, i just dont like the band
Mewithoutyou: Meh
Blood brothers: Energetic, but again, i just dont like the band

Also, Apollo is the name of the sun god in mythology, and the sun is a star. Just something to wrap your mind around.
Apollo is the name of the dog in the story...

[cobert]

Yeah, but someone asked why he would be telling it to his dog. Im trying to say that the dog represents something else, perhaps.

[oathfbass]

O ok....thier has to be some sort of clue in the album

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I think cobert is right because it is all symbolism and metaphors and stuff like that. Also my review on the concert was:

mewithoutYou- Not very good at all, I don't like the band to begin with and they had terrible stage presence

Dredg- They were good they just didn't have very much energy

The Blood Brothers-Tons of energy I am just not to fond of them

Coheed and Cambria- It was amazing they played everything to perfection I did also not like the fact they didn't play much off Second Stage.

I'm supposed to go to their show in December in Chicago with Fall Out Boy and All American Rejects but I am not positive yet.

[cobert]

Yeah, i heard that they might be coming back to pittsburgh sometime this year, so ill go and get to see them again.

[YDload]

Yeah, i heard that they might be coming back to pittsburgh sometime this year, so ill go and get to see them again.

I think they're playing at IUP pretty soon. You know where that is, right?

[cobert]

Yes, yes i do.

[YDload]

Hey, did you know that Fall of Troy is finally coming to Pittsburgh? They're playing at the Rex Theater sometime this week, but I can't possibly go because I'm in college and it's about an hour away :(

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Yeah, i heard that they might be coming back to pittsburgh sometime this year, so ill go and get to see them again.


The Chicago tickets are gunna be tough to get because of all the fag's that are going for Fall Out Boy.

[hey, you're not cory!]

Take me with you, DOD!!!

[DJ Ducksauce]

Wow. No activity in 2 days.

Any news on the comics yet? I really want to get that graphic novel.

/bump

[DepthsOfDreams555]

They are planning on bringing out a graphic novel for In Keeping Secrets next I am pretty sure.

[oathfbass]

Why would they tour with fall out boy?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

They aren't they are playing like one show or so.

The tickets haven't gone on sale yet.

[B]

Why would they tour with fall out boy?
Why would they not?

[Spectrum]

...because they're massively superior to Fall Out Boy in every way?

/me hides?

[B]

And because it will get them attention that they deserve from all the people that don't know who they are and are just going to see FOB?

Because it will possibly make them more mainstream? (o noes)

They deserve to get recognized.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya it would be good to tour with Fall Out Boy and it will help when they play with them for that one show because all the people just going to see Fall Out Boy will see Coheed and will love them most likely haha.

[Spectrum]

Fair enough, valid points.

[DJ Ducksauce]

They are planning on bringing out a graphic novel for In Keeping Secrets next I am pretty sure.So are they stopping the comics and going all graphic novels now.

They still have to finish SSTB first.

Well I'm not sure I remember them saying they are only going to have something like 12 comics to begin with and thats not enough. I don't really know what they are going to be doing I am just pretty sure they are making a novel for In Keeping Secrets then Second Stage.

[chumpradio]

Co&Ca are touring the UK with Thrice. :eek:
I have to find someone to go with, unfortunately, no one I know likes either band. :(

[oathfbass]

And because it will get them attention that they deserve from all the people that don't know who they are and are just going to see FOB?

Because it will possibly make them more mainstream? (o noes)

They deserve to get recognized.
But if they do go more mainstream that could make them suck,i dont mean i hate bands that are mainstream either,but take a look a lot of the popular bands....

[The Crowing]

Coheed. =)

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I don't see how success would ruin Coheed...

[YDload]

they ARE successful

[Angry Balled Fists!]

OMFGROFLMYWAFFLE

I have to go, 2 of my fave bands !

Dam, nearest place is over 2 hours away, Manchester.

[Sep]

I'd so badly travel 2 hours to see them. They're both in my top 5 bands.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Same, i'm going to, don't worry.

That will be an AMAZING SHOW !

[oathfbass]

I don't see how success would ruin Coheed...
they are succesful, if they were popular like FOB........I dont think every good band needs to be popular,they could ruin themselves,like underoath,now thier playing thier videos on mtv

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I never said that Coheed aren't successful. I just said I don't see that success/popularity would or is gonna ruin them.

[oathfbass]

Each album sounds different,how many fans do you think they would lose and gain if they made their next album sound like HH or FOB?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Each album sounds different,how many fans do you think they would lose and gain if they made their next album sound like HH or FOB?
They would lose fans and gain. But thats never gonna happen.:thumb:

[Fish]

yeah not too many people around here know coheed and cambria but i got all my friends into them and now their popularity is starting to spread :thumb:

[Sound Boy]

I never said that Coheed aren't successful. I just said I don't see that success/popularity would or is gonna ruin them.

yeah it wont ruin them. except for the people who start to hate bands once thier on MTv. but they have been consistant with their style and story even with the success of "Favor House" from IKS. i think the band is very modest with what they do so i dont think popularity would make them change thier sound or "sell out".

[cobert]

Popularity definitely wouldnt hurt coheed.

Im glad to get back on MX, ihad to stay after school until 6 every day this week because my band was helping with music in between scenes for the school play on Friday. We were going to play our own song, but there wasnt enough time for the school performance, and we didnt think the old people that came for the afternoon performance would be interested.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Thrice+Coheed would be awesome.

Has Coheed ever played 21:13 live? That would be so awesome to see that live.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I dunno that is a good question I dunno if they have. I'm guessing not but I'm not sure. Thrice and Coheed would be sweet.

[Sound Boy]

yeah last time i saw them they played it as the last song. there was an added solo that sounded like southern rock-ish. it was pretty chill

[DepthsOfDreams555]

yeah last time i saw them they played it as the last song. there was an added solo that sounded like southern rock-ish. it was pretty chill


When was the last time you saw them?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

21:13 would be amazing live.

[oathfbass]

yeah its amazing how he makes his voice so high pitched

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

The screaming part is orgasmic.

[oathfbass]

I dont have the complete song, i only have like a 1:51 of it :(

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Considering its 9:41 seconds long you have like none of it.

[Sep]

Yeah 21:13 is definitely one of their best songs.

[oathfbass]

Anyone know where i can get it?I already have the rest of the album

[B]

Buy the album. It's worth it.

[oathfbass]

Does the lyric book let have art work like the one from GAIBS4?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Just buy it dude. It doesn't have any art work that is as col as GA but it is still kinda cool I dunno I haven't looked at it in a while. Just go get it.

[oathfbass]

i'll have to get it after xmas since i dont have any money right now and i asked my rents for an ipod

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I'm trying to sell my mp3 player.

[oathfbass]

tried ebay?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

No I might though I got two kids that say they will pay me 100 bucks for it and thats all I want and it is a pretty good deal. If they don't buy it soon I am putting it up on ebay along with my paintball gun.

Also I am pretty sure I am going to go see Coheed again in Chicago the tickets should be going on sale soon.

[oathfbass]

/sniffle/ thier not coming to virginia

[DJ Ducksauce]

They came to Texas, but I couldn't go...:upset:

Post 21:13!!!!:eek:

[CombatWombat3]

Hahaha, sweet man! Cherish it forevr.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Just figured out that the Chicago show is a no go. It is on the EXACT same day as my friends dad's Christmas Party so if we find another ride we will go but I doubt we will.

[cobert]

I dont think they set an IUP date yet. Ill check sometime later.

[[Enigmatica]]

TURN ON MTV

http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/hard_rock_live/series.jhtml

[YDload]

Holy crap, I'd better go!

[[Enigmatica]]

Holy crap, I'd better go!
No ****.

They're playing Welcome Home,Final Cut, and IKS :) Maybe more...

[halfdeadhippo]

That was pretty cool on MTV. I'll have to see them the next time they come around.

[YDload]

I thought it was neat. Only four songs, but what can you expect from a half-hour program? I'm sure they played more for the live crowd and MTV just picks the songs that fit best into the show.

[DJ Ducksauce]

It's times like this I wish I had MTV...:upset:

[Fish]

i feel your pain

[Pazz]

I don't have MTV either. Give it a week or two and you will be able to find it somewhere on the internet.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I'll be able to stream it with 56k :D...:(

[Fish]

i have the dvd so its all good

[DJ Ducksauce]

Yeah, I do too, but there aren't any new songs on it.

[cobert]

I didnt watch the MTV thing, but im sure theyll show it again sometime.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I hope they do cause I didn't see it in either, I would like to see it.

[cobert]

They will, they replay everything like that a million times.

Except the real world season finale, which i missed. :upset:

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I didn't either.

[cobert]

Thats the only reality TV i can watch, because the rest is all retarded and makes people eat stuff and go on stupid challenges. I actually dont mind that MTV doesnt play music, because its not like any of us would watch it for that anyways.

[The Musician]

Thats the only reality TV i can watch, because the rest is all retarded and makes people eat stuff and go on stupid challenges. I actually dont mind that MTV doesnt play music, because its not like any of us would watch it for that anyways.
If they played music I liked, I would :-/

[cobert]

Yeah, but they probably wouldnt. MTV2 has some allright stuff on it, at least they play music.

[Fish]

i dont get MTV at all :upset:

[cobert]

Why not?

[Fish]

canadian? im not sure if that matters or not, but i get much music, which isn't all that great..

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I don't have digital t.v so i can't watch mtv.

[cobert]

Wow. Well, its not like you guys are really missing anything.

[Mute Print]

I have MTV but I never watch it. They rarely play music, and when they do it's usually garbage.

I used to watch MTV2 once in a while when I had it. At least they played some decent bands.

[Fish]

all thats ever on my music channels are like teenage pop singers, singning about DJ's, cranking up music, dance floors, dacning, and complete BS

[cobert]

Oh yeah, True Life is good too.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Wow. Well, its not like you guys are really missing anything.
That's not true. We missed Coheed. And that's a big something. In fact, that's THE THING.:p

[HomeCatMickey8]

I've never listened to much Coheed.

If I buy one of their albums, what's a good one to start with?

[cobert]

Nah, you gotta say it like 'THE thing.'

[cobert]

I've never listened to much Coheed.

If I buy one of their albums, what's a good one to start with?

I'd go with The Second Stage Turbine Blade. You might as well buy the reissue with the extra songs.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Nah, you gotta say it like 'THE thing.'
Alright. :p

/goes back and edits

Tim: SSTB is pretty good. I started off on IKS. Either one would be good.

Good Apollo isn't bad, it's just not as good as the others.

[B]

lol avatar/usertitle

SSTB is my favourite. IKSOSE:3 was awesome as well. GA was a let down for me. I liked them when they were poppier and not as heavy. WHich is odd because I like more metalcore and hardcore stuff than pop-punk.

[cobert]

And GA would be harder to get into for a newb.

[B]

tr00th

[DJ Ducksauce]

Good Apollo does have Welcome Home though which happens to be one of their best.

Other stand out songs in GA:
Ten Speed (God's Blood and Burial)
Always and Never
Wake Up
The Willing Wells(I,II,III,&IV)
Apollo I:The Writing Writer

The other ones are good, they just get repetitive and are too similar IMO.

[halfdeadhippo]

Yeah, but The Second Stage Turbine Blade has "Time Consumer", "Everything Evil", "Delirium Trigger", "Junesong Provision", "Neverender", and "Godsend Conspirator". The new cd is really weird for me. Sometimes I can listen to it and love it, and other times, I'll listen to it and hate it because there's too much going on. The first cd will always be their best, for me, at least.

[B]

Welcome Home is overrated IMO. The only great part is the intro, the rest is somewhat bland.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

There are better songs on the CD than Welcome Home. Ten Speed and Crossing The Frame are probraly some of the best.

[halfdeadhippo]

The Willing Well songs are the highlight of the album, for me. The rest is so-so.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I like the Apollo tracks the best I don't care if they are repetitive I really like them.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Welcome home isn't overrated, its epic and awesome.

I loooove playing the intro too, it's so fun.

[Pazz]

If it wasn't for the intro, Welcome Home wouldn't be nearly as good. I love listening to the intro on the computer with the volume turned up pretty high.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Nah, the whole of it is incredible, the woahs, the lead part, the rhythm, the strings !

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I really don't think Welcome Home is overrated but its not my favorite song on the album it is def. still awesome.

[B]

Now, IKSOSE:3. There's a sweet epic song.

Edit: And Time Consumer, and Everything Evil. With less epicness though. And more sweet.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Welcome Home is sooo fun to play on guitar though. With all of the pinch harmonics and sweeps and whatnot.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Now, IKSOSE:3. There's a sweet epic song.

Edit: And Time Consumer, and Everything Evil. With less epicness though. And more sweet.


There all sweet it is just a big bundle of sweetness.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Now, IKSOSE:3. There's a sweet epic song.

Edit: And Time Consumer, and Everything Evil. With less epicness though. And more sweet.
Don't forget:
The Crowing
The Light and the Glass
21:13

[TMA]

For me, their most epic songs are
The Light And The Glass
Welcome Home
Willing Well IV: The Final Cut
Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth
Neverender
and Godsend Conspirator

[Angry Balled Fists!]

YEah, i agree with The light and the glass, Welcome home and ILKSOSE3.

[Society Sellout]

IKS3 is pretty epic. I would think that Everything Evil is epic as well because of the ending("you'll make it if you believe!") as well as The Crowning with the overlapping vocal parts.

[cobert]

I like the apollo tracks, the final cut, ten speeds, and erica court the most.

Now when it comes to epic:
Everything evil (kinda)
The ring in return / keeping the blade
IKSOSE:3
the crowing
The Light And The Glass
Welcome Home
All of the willing well

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya IKSOSE is def. epic I love that song so much.

[Holyed]

Welcome Home is the one i refer to as 'epic' when I think of the epic songs.

I would also say 'The Light and the Glass' too, and its also in my top 5 of their songs, but it has the classic soft beginning then climatic ending etc.

I'm still trying to get into IKSOSE, i'm sure I will get into that song at some point.

[I am a revenant]

I don't know if this has been posted, but on one of my first looks around the Cobalt and Calcium forums I found a link to some music by The Prize Fighter Inferno here: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=37305643&Mytoken=F245E9F4-3CDA-4C3E-A556DBC391FA2FD3193120656
Now it seems the page has "Invalid Id", it was working for me though. I'll leave it up anyway.

Apologies if it's been posted.

[Bad Blood]

I need some other Coheed albums apart from Good Apollo.

Anyone willing to send?

[Dead Star]

If you go on AIM, yeah I can.

[cobert]

Bumper.

I dont see how this got on the second page. Really though, how?

[DJ Ducksauce]

There isn't much to talk about pertaining to Coheed anymore.

So...Claudio's double neck is pretty sweet looking...

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

To me the most epic song is either The Crowing or IKSOSE:#

[deathscreamingsheep]

I have to say Coheed has definately inspired me. I did attempt to write songs following a story before but the band scrapped them, still I never did lose the plotline for said story so maybe now I've got them all into Coheed they'll be more accepting.

[Gnarmageddon]

Wooo, the Co&Ca thread is back where it belongs.

I'm listening to them for the first time in ages.

[Society Sellout]

I keep going back to their first album, dang it's so good.

I did finally learn how to play Welcome home, which is insanely fun to play and the intro part to The Final Cut which is pretty cool as well.

[cobert]

So i came up with a cheesy interp of 'keeping the blade'. It has the same epic feel of 'The Ring in Return', but is simplified, so it gives a sense of realism that wasnt imposed by the grand scale of TRIR.

I guess thats why it sounds that way. Iunno.

[deathscreamingsheep]

This has probably been asked a lot in the thread so far, but I'm actually quite interested in the story that Coheed have created. Is there anywhere I can read a good interpretation?

Also, is it actually an alright story or is it just silly (ala Queenshryke [sp?]).

[DepthsOfDreams555]

It is a sci-fi story just go to CobaltandCalcium.com they have a bunch of interpretations or you can go to the CoheedandCambria.com Message Board. Either one have plenty of stuff. I love Keeping the Blade that is a good idea cob I didn't really pay much attention to The Ring In Return when I first got In Keeping Secrets then I really listened to Keeping the Blade and loved it then I went back and listened to TRIR.

This is a good one:
http://www.cobaltandcalcium.com/forum/t194-story-far...%2AKiddies-read-post-one%2A.html

[Society Sellout]

I have the first two comics in Jpg format if anyone is interested in the story and a pretty good read(it helps a lot with understanding the story) they can hit me up on AIM(McCoolajr).

I got the graphic novel yesterday too :). I love the art work.

[Holyed]

I downloaded the comic too, but i guess I've never read a comic in my life, so its hard for me to understand. But I swear it just complicates things even further.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya it does make things more complicated but it eventually leads to better understanding.

Do you have the Graphic Novel in Jpg too?

[Society Sellout]

Do you have the Graphic Novel in Jpg too?

No, I could scan it all in but that would take quite a while considering it's like 120 pages long :/.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Do you know where I can buy the graphic novel? Will I have to go to a comic book store (i.e. specialist store) or can I get it from a major chain store.

[cobert]

Aside from comic book stores, you can find the Graphic Novels at Hot Topic.

[TMA]

Word. I learned Willing Well III last night. Not all that simple to play, but really f*cking fun once you know how to.

[Fish]

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I really think my parents are going to end up getting me a guitar for Christmas despite the fact I already got my snowboard cause I have been buggin them for a long time and we saw some good deals today. I def. wanna learn some Coheed.

[DJ Ducksauce]

No, I could scan it all in but that would take quite a while considering it's like 120 pages long :/.
Oh, all right. If you ever do though, tell me. I almost had it, but my parents saw the PA Advisory sticker. If my dad hadn't said anything, I would have it already. :angry:

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Oh, all right. If you ever do though, tell me. I almost had it, but my parents saw the PA Advisory sticker. If my dad hadn't said anything, I would have it already. :angry:


Thats dumb it has like three F words and a couple other swear words here and there its not that bad.

[DJ Ducksauce]

That's what they get for being on a majorl label...:(

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya still you should still just go get it and like let your parents see it. Its not that bad. My dad read it. Your parents could be like Nazi's though.

[TMA]

:chug: nice, the whole 7 minutes?
Well, I know everything except for the specific notes between the first "Goodnight, tonight, goodbye" and "If then should the come home".
The rest of it I know note for note. That's just a bit more of a difficult part to play, but I bet I'll have it within the next week. :thumb:

[Special Brew]

I haven't posted in here since the new album's release. I miss the old days when Co & Ca had a dark feel to their music. They are still great, but they don't screate the atmosphere like they used to. TSSTB will always be there best album because of this.

I'm severly dissappointed, since the whole dark feel to them matched with the storyline so well.
