Official Coheed and Cambria Thread

[I am a revenant]

I saw Coheed last night at Nottingham Rock City, and on a whole was largely dissapointed. Not entirely sure why, they just didn't do anything for me. Weird really, considering I like to listen to them on record. Sikth were pretty good though.

I was at that show aswell, it was so much better than the performance i saw in February. The selection of songs was great; with the mini acoustic performance in the middle it made it feel like a full experience.
Also, the replacement Bassist and Drummer filled the gaps just fine, which was impressive. Claudio and Travis also seemed to be enjoying themselves, which, given the circumstances is great.

[Storm In A Teacup]

No idea. I heard they are starting work on Volume 2 of Apollo in Autumn (the Fall for you Americans), so it should be before then. They still have some gigs left to play though.

Volume 2 is going to be a classic album. I'm telling you all right now, but it needs not be said. It's already fact.

[Eliminator]

Coheed & Cambria are the great musical masters of the 21st century. Fact.

[Storm In A Teacup]

No. The Beatles are overall. Album wise Coheed still isn't the best. Pet Sounds, Abbey Road, and The Misery Index: Notes from the plague years are better albums than any of the Coheed albums.

[Eliminator]

I said 21st century.

DOOFUS

[Storm In A Teacup]

Oh, then you're right. They are overall the best band of the 21st century.

[Eliminator]

Oh wait I was joking.

:)

[Storm In A Teacup]

Your whole account is a joke from all the posts I've seen. :-\

[cobert]

I am a joke account.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Your mum's a joke account.

[The Crowing]

Lolaccount?

[Storm In A Teacup]

My God is Coheed & Cambria amazing! I realize this time and time again.

I think I should base every tatoo I ever get on Coheed & Cambria.

Yes.

I will.

NP: "Everything Evil"

[I H8Jess]

Someone better make a post in the Coheed thread so I don't have to double post. >.>

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

/post

Just for Ian. :rolleyes:

I don't like Coheed that much. My friend tried to get me into them, but they're just mehh.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I was going to rep Chels for posting on my behalf, but then she had to insult the greatest band ever. :(

Rep for IH8JESS (and you chels ;)).


Anyway, I was listening to Coheed and I had a horrible thought. Someday I'm going to die and then there's a chance I won't be able to listen to Coheed when I'm dead. I've found a really good reason to believe in Heaven. So even when I'm dead I'll still be listening to Coheed & Cambria.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Thanks, mahn.

I couldn't rep you for your FA so it'll have to be later.

I didn't insult them anyways, wtf.

[Storm In A Teacup]

It's an insult to them if you say anything other than that they're the greatest band ever.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

:rolleyes:

It was not an insult, k.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Coheed and Cambria is greater than God.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Um, no not really.

I'll leave before I start spamming in here. lolz.

[B]

Coheed and Cambria is greater than God.
No.

[Storm In A Teacup]

They give me purpose to believe in God though.

*different opinions*

[cobert]

I think I should base every tatoo I ever get on Coheed & Cambria.

Probably the worst idea ever.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

2 against 1, WE WIN, K.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Excuse my posts tonight, I'm just a little overcome by the realization by the fact that I won't be able to listen to Coheed forever.

I'm being serious too. I'm really upset over this.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Why, wtf?

[cobert]

Probably the gayest thing ever said in this thread.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Haha.

[B]

SSTB wins

[cobert]

LOL at me not posting in here in forever, and still having the second highest amount of posts in here.

[B]

LOL I guess Cob wins.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm going to overtake you, Cob. :)


SSTB is definitely one for the major win. Their best album. Classic.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I just need 4 posts...


But yes, SSTB for the win anyday.

[cobert]

I wouldnt be surprised if you overtake me, I dont post in here much anymore because all of the posts are all like 'no nu guyz r gay'.

[DJ Ducksauce]

They are though. You can see it in the way they look at each other during the shows...

<_< >_>


But I really do hope Mic and Josh stay in it.

And I hope the new album incorporates the other instruments more.

:eek: OH MY GOD! /orgasm /orgasm /orgasm

I wish the set list was different, but this is still masturbation worthy.

Sorry to be so gross about my fanboyism. :(

[B]

You are seriously rediculous.

Sorry to be so gross about my fanboyism. :(

Yea I was hoping for a little bit different of a set list but it was still a good show.

[Storm In A Teacup]

They cater way too much to the people who are mostly familiar with their singles. Probably why Mic and Travis aren't in the band right now.

[Dies Irae]

Good for them.

Their music just keeps getting worse anyway.

[B]

Huge 123 on that.

[cobert]

Probably why Mic and Travis aren't in the band right now.

Because one of us would totally know their motives.

Of course theyre going to cater to people who like the singles, they have 3 albums worth of music, a ton of new fans that only know what theyve heard on the radio, and people that will be happy as long as they hear Everything Evil.

[Storm In A Teacup]

:angry: I want to see them play 'HEARSHOT KID DISASTER' GD!

[TheBigMachine]

You are hugerz fan boy. If only Dave were here...

[Storm In A Teacup]

Damn straight I am. There should be about four, or five more of me here and then the conversation would get really interesting.

[Fish]

Oh my gosh! >.>


Anyway, the following interview of Claudio is almost perfect. It would be completely perfect if the interviewer lost the B and the r in his name. >.>

Brian: Do you have any pre-show rituals?

Claudio: You know, not really. A pre-show ritual would be a lot of warming up, a lot of stretching. Not so much of the body, but a lot of vocal stretching.

Brian: To what extent is the conceptual side of Coheed and Cambria influenced by the stories that you have grown up with, and do you think that what you have made on paper and print will leave a legacy of its own?

Claudio: A lot of the concept is based on factual things. You know, a lot of the things that I have experienced, I then have put into the story. You know, Coheed and Cambria are actually based after the look of my mother and father. I am the character in the story. Matthew and Maria are my siblings are also in the story. Al The Killer actually happened to be an uncle of mine that was uhh.. well, uh... I won't get into too much of that, haha. But all of these characters have some significance to my life and the trials that they go through as well, but again, it's taken place inside a piece of fiction, in an alternate reality, so therefore making it fiction. I think the story behind the story is just as interesting as the concept and I think at some point when deciphering that code becomes or gets old, then it will be about... what's behind it.

Brian: What inspires you to put so much into every album? A lot of bands these days will put out an album, and the fans will only find two or three songs that are decent. With Coheed and Cambria, every song is usually a hit. The other bands just don't have the elements that every album.

Claudio: Well, my thing is, I am more of an album guy. I never really grew up listening for singles. It was always the deep cuts of a record, what made this a great piece of work. And it's not just the singles, not what made that record sell millions. It's really the work as a whole. You know, that's why I think that these records are like that. We're not here to make hit singles, although we do have songs that can be single-worthy, but that's not our intention. Our intention is to make a great album, and not just focus on whats going to sell records. It's what will make us happy, and what our vision will be the best overall work. That's pretty much it, and as for why we do that... well... that's why! Haha.

Brian: After three albums, and you're going to make another one soon, would you say that you are a master at the guitar, or are you learning new stuff everyday?

Claudio: I'm learning new stuff everyday. I don't think I'll ever be a master. I've seen guys that are way ahead of me.

Brian: Like who?

Claudio: A lot of people, anyone, just watch t.v. or watch a good guitar player. Look at Van Halen, he's an amazing guitar player and I'm nowhere near that, and I don't think I will ever be... honestly. I guess I do for my instrument and for what I do, and they are for their instrument, and what they do. I guess it's just like two different worlds, but there are just a lot of great players, and it's just hard to name every one.

I love to experiment, like this next record, I've been writing a bunch of material on not so much piano, because I don't really play piano, but I wanted to see what it'd be like to try to write a song on a different instrument. Not an entire piece, but parts. Like focus on that, and see what melody comes out of that using this instrument. I've just kinda been just going all over the place on this next one in hopes of making something really cool, unique, and different.

Brian: Have you ever just sat down and learned the bass or drums?

Claudio: Oh, yeah! Without a doubt! I mean, bass is very similar to guitar, but there are definitely techniques. You can't just say, "You know, because I play guitar, I can play bass." It doesn't really work that way. Drums, yes, definitely. Our last tour with Avenged, we had a jam room and we had the drums set up and a bunch of amplifiers and when Josh wasn't playing, I would be in there hitting those drums. That was my first love... to be a drummer, it just didn't pan out that way.

Brian: Who are your favorite bands that you had a pleasure touring with? Not in a genre or a musical sense, but on a friendship level.

Claudio: I think on a friendship level, definitely Thursday and Thrice. We've developed a great relationship with those bands and we've always had fun playing with them. You know, any others... it's hard to say. There have been so many. I'd have to go with those two.

Brian: Elf Tower, New Mexico was the B-Side for the Second Stage, were there any B-Sides for In Keeping, or Good Apollo?

Claudio: Ah, yes! There was a B-Side for In Keeping. Before we created "The Light and the Glass," there was a song called, "The Glass." We were actually going to put it out for the Spiderman 2: Soundtrack. Somebody had asked if we could submit a song for the soundtrack and at the time I never had a chance to complete the lyrics. We just didn't have time to finish the song on that record. I saw the trailer for Spiderman 2, and it happened to be the scene where the car was going through the glass, Tobey Maguire grabs Mary Jane, and they go kinda spinning?

Brian: Uh huh.

Claudio: So I took that trailer, and I wrote lyrics to the trailer, but nothing came about it.

Brian: After writing songs and completing them in the studio, do you feel the need to alter them in some way or fix something up that you weren't happy with?

Claudio: Like now? Listening to them these days?

Brian: Yea.

Claudio: There's always that. Things you wish you could have done, whether it be because time didn't allow it, or you just didn't think of it at that moment, and now in the after, you can hear it. In my mind, I am very satisfied with all of the records we have put out. There will always be those moments when you're listening to the record and you're like, "God damn, I wish I would have done that, or a different vocal approach there," there will always be that. Nothing is ever perfect.

Brian: A lot of people are asking this: The white explorer -- We haven't seen it, did it retire? What's the deal?

Claudio: Haha. I gave it to Hard Rock Cafe!

Brian: Which one? We'll go there!

Claudio: Haha, I'm just kidding. It's actually not retired, I've just got so many Explorers over the years that I've been playing others. Right now I'm playing this white and black one, just kinda breaking that one in. I guess the white one retired for a little bit, but she'll come back out soon.

Brian: The "Evening With Coheed and Cambria" shows last summer were a huge hit. Can we expect more shows that have that special element to them?

Claudio: I think so. One of the ideas that we are kinda are toying with Blaze James, our manager, is that next year will be the fifth year anniversary of the Second Stage Turbine Blade, and what I've kinda toyed around with him, and I don't know if this is going to happen, so don't super quote me on this one, it's to do an evening where we come out like the previous ones where we play a 30-40 minute acoustic set, and then we do a front to back of the Second Stage Turbine Blade.

Brian: Awesome!

Brian: Since "Wake Up" is on Snakes on a Plane, the soundtrack, what would you do if you were approached to write a song specifically for a movie on a soundtrack, but it had nothing to do with the story of Coheed and Cambria? I know you said, "The Glass", would have been nice with Spiderman 2, but what if it had NOTHING to do with the story?

Claudio: Yeah, I would do it, as long as they were willing to tell me what the premise of the movie was going to be. There have been instances in the past where we have been approached, like Spiderman: 2, but they were really top secret, like they said, "We can't give you any information out right now and this is all we can give you." and it's like... that doesn't really help. You wanna make it work with the movie. You don't want to just write something in hopes that it will work. It really all depends on the situation, and how much information they would give me. I would really love to do it. I'm not opposed.

Brian: That'd be nice!

Brian: In each of your three albums, there have have different feels to them. Like, Good Apollo has this big, explosive, epic rock sound to it. What can we expect from the next upcoming album?

Claudio: It's so hard to say. I have been working on material, but nothing is concrete. It's definetly going to be different. With each record we've had so far the material was written before the record was actually recorded, where as this one, I decided to take a break from that approach and write for the record instead of it just being where I am writing, writing, writing and here comes the day to record. Now it will be more in the moment, record to the moment or right to the moment -- excuse me. This is the end of the concept, it's gotta be darker, and it's just gotta be magical! Ahaha.

Brian: Haha.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Brian: Okay, if you could play at any venue, with any band, dead or alive, where would it be, and who would it be with?

Claudio: I know over the years we've said Led Zeppelin is our favorite band, and that is true as a unit. But for me personally, my favorite band of all time would be Pink Floyd, and I saw them in '94. It was actually on my mothers birthday, in '94 -- November 17th.

Brian: You missed your mothers birthday for Pink Floyd?!

Claudio: Well, she understood. Haha.

Brian: Okay, as long as she knew what was going on. Haha.

Claudio: But I'd like to see Pink Floyd in 1978. So if it would be the perfect tour, although they probably wouldn't tour with us, I think the perfect tour would be me being a roadie in 1978 for Pink Floyd.

Brian: Now that you're a big name in the music industry and you can obviously headline a tour in the states and in Europe, do you ever think you would co-headline another tour like you did with A7X, again?

Claudio: You know, it's hard to say. They are very nice guys and we got along with them very well, but I think from both parties the tour was a little weird for our audiences. For their audience, and our audience. I just don't know if it's something we would try to do again.

Brian: Being that your popularity is growing each and every day and the kids are really getting into the story and the concept, are you content with what you've done so far with it? What would you like to accomplish or change so far?

Claudio: There is nothing I'd like to change. I'd like to obviously get the records done for the story. Just to actually see them, you know? Here is this body of work and along with that, the graphic novels or comics or however you want to describe them. Just to see those all done in their tangible form. Just to look at their body of work and then say, "Ok, what's the next step?", and in hopes maybe the next step is to put out a movie or something. I'd just like to keep going with it. I don't want this project to die, really.

Brian: There have been several talks about the new comic series, why were you displeased with the outcome of the graphic novel? Was it the storyline or was it the whole direction? You've had several authors and artists over the years...what happened?

Claudio: Well, originally with Second Stage, at the time, Coheed and Cambria didn't really have the pull we do now, although still in that world (in the comical world), we still don't have that strong of a pull. At the time, Wes Abbot was really the only guy willing to work on this project, so we took what we could at the time. Wes was great, I still think he's a great guy, but unfortunately due to his schedule, he couldnt couldn't continue the Second Stage Series. He had other things he had to do. When it was time to record Good Apollo, I thought I would try something different with this and maybe put out the story at the same time as the record. That's when we found Christopher Shy -- we did the album art, and graphic novel with him. And that was great, but at the same time the story telling is a little weird. I mean, I think Christopher is a beautiful artist, but some of the story kinda gets lost in there. And also at the same time, on my fault, it's part four that the story that really hasn't even been told yet. It's a little pre-mature. I think most readers get confused by it. Also, another thing is, financially, the script was longer. We couldn't complete all of it because I just didn't have the money, so we had to break it down into 120 pages -- A lot got lost. But now it's like "The Amory Wars" is basically the replacement of "The Bag Online Adventures," the whole saga now is called, "The Amory Wars." With this series that is coming out in Feburary, this will be the Second Stage portion and we'll take it from there. Then we'll go into In Keeping. We'll just do it in a chronological order instead of messing it up.

Brian: Haha

Brian: Okay, here are some fun questions -- What is your least favorite household chore? Besides doing your hair!

Claudio: Hmm, I don't know...

Brian: Besides doing your hair.

Claudio: The last chore that I did, that I actually didn't mind, but it kinda sucked, was draining the pool cover -- the water was disgusting.

Brian: Yeah, don't drink it.

Claudio: Nooo!!

Brian: Ok, besides me, who is the biggest "A-List Celebrity" to state that they love your music?

Claudio: The biggest A-List Celebrity?

Brian: Besides me, of course...

Claudio: I don't know if we have any celebrities, honestly.

Brian: You've gotta have some!

Claudio: I've never met any, honestly!

Brian: I think they're too shy.

Claudio: I don't know if it's that, man.

Brian: Could be your hair? They are all like, "I don't know about his hair!"

Claudio: Haha. I don't know if we're cool enough for A-List celebrities. I have no idea. I've never encountered one on our road.

Brian: I think Ashlee Simpson likes Coheed and Cambria.

Claudio: Really? Then there ya go!

Brian: Yeah! You got one.

Brian: If you can give your fans one piece of advice about life in general -- what would you give them?

Claudio: Always have a plan b. I had one, and I got lucky at the last minute. At the time I was going to school for audio engineering. The band thing was working out, but at the same time I was getting too old, and I didn't know if I could do this for the rest of my life. Just as I went out and got a job, the band got signed to Equal Visions, so I was very fortunate.

Brian: That's good, because I don't know what you'd be doing right now!

Claudio: Haha, yeah!

Brian: Alright, this is the last question and by far the most serious question in the interview so far -- Who is the last man standing when it comes to drinking?

Claudio: In Coheed and Cambria?

Brian: Yea.

Claudio: TRAVIS STEVER, BY FAR! He's up 'till seven in the morning!

Brian: Geez, he must have a high tolerance.

Claudio: Ohh! It's like coffee to him!

Brian: Gotta give him shots!

Claudio: Haha

Brian I guess this wraps up our interview. Thank you for taking the time.

Claudio: You got it! Thank you for all of your help!

[DJ Ducksauce]

Anyway, the following interview of Claudio is almost perfect. It would be completely perfect if the interviewer lost the B and the r in his name. >.>


Haha, you're only a few weeks late. :p

For the first time someone at school I've discovered likes Coheed other than me. Well, three people actually.

Damn right, there's one. Used to be two actually. Another I started in Rock. But that's pretty old.

I wouldn't mind that. Claudio rocks.

I'm a member there but I've only made one or two posts.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I used to post there a lot when I was really into the storyline and such but I gave up on that.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Yeah, I only have like 120, or something around there.

[burning star IV]

I might start posting there some more. I love that site.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I stopped going there after they made it where you had to donate to get the music and vids they had up.

I was The Crowing in there.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I haven't been there in a long time, that is pretty gay.

[burning star IV]

My name is OneWinged Angel. Do any of you know how to get the ringtones they have there to work on your phone?

[Fish]

coheed ringtones! why didnt I ever think of that. Now im stuck with alexisonfire <_<

[DepthsOfDreams555]

My friend has a Welcome Home ringer, it's pretty cool.

[Fish]

my friend plays welcome home on guitar.. and I solo, its pretty cool :)

Yay, new live DVD at Hammerstein Ballroom out Oct 31! :D

[lunchforthesky]

yeah i saw that.

no old songs on there that werent on the starland dvd.

and im not paying extra for good appollo songs live. wasnt that bad but meh.

[Storm In A Teacup]

:o Old news.

[DJ Ducksauce]

You didn't have cover art though.

I win.

[Kif]

Probably old news too for you Co&Ca addicts, but Claudio's side project, The Prize Fighter Inferno, has a new song on their Myspace called "Who Watches The Watchmen"

http://www.myspace.com/theprizefighterinferno

[lunchforthesky]

does anyone like prize fighter much?
i really couldnt get into it when i listened to them.

[lunchforthesky]

does anyone like prize fighter much?

sorry double posted.

[Kif]

You can delete, you know?

I like the other 3 songs I heard. It's nice hearing Claudio with just an acoustic I think. I can't remember the track name either, but one of them reminded me so much of Final Fantasy. So chilled out and nice to listen to.

[lunchforthesky]

i havent played a final fantasy since 10. my ps2 broke :angry:

[Storm In A Teacup]

Wait, Prize Fighter Inferno is an acoustic band? :-(

[ZaaR]

my friend just showed me weerd science the other day and they're so sick. hail to pepsi is possibly one of the greatest songs i have ever heard

[DJ Ducksauce]

Wait, Prize Fighter Inferno is an acoustic band? :-(

And you call yourself a claudio fan.

[Eliminator]

So why do people like coheed

[DJ Ducksauce]

Because we believe that they may someday recreate the magic that was Second Stage Turbine Blade...and we believe in the butterflies.

[Eliminator]

lol that's never going to happen

[cobert]

Exactly, which is why they have dropped down on my list of bands I like.

SSTB was so raddd, then everthing else is pretty boring.

[DJ Ducksauce]

They're going down with each album it seems.

[Eliminator]

quality goes down

hair goes up

[Kif]

I bet when the next album comes out, and it "completes" the story, Claudio will be like "Oh wait, we have 4 other albums coming out which will further extend the storyline".

And I won't buy any of them, because everyone knows SSTB is the only good album they put out.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

They have two more albums to come out before they are supposed to be 'done' with the series.

[lunchforthesky]

I bet when the next album comes out, and it "completes" the story, Claudio will be like "Oh wait, we have 4 other albums coming out which will further extend the storyline".

And I won't buy any of them, because everyone knows SSTB is the only good album they put out.

iks is great too. even good apollo isnt that bad. would have been good if they werent judged by the standards set in their previous albums

[Eliminator]

anyone notice that the story is really dumb?

[lunchforthesky]

i used to like the story. but its a little drawn out. would have been better for one album or somehting. but the story is part of coheed really.

[Eliminator]

i used to like the story. but its a little drawn out. would have been better for one album or somehting. but the story is part of the gimmick really.

yeah

[cobert]

anyone notice that the story is really dumb?


Ya dont say?

[Eliminator]

shhh don't tell SIAT

[cobert]

One day he'll find out, go "Oh", and recognize SSTB is their good album.

Then he'll go out into the desert, not to return for years and years.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Dudes, the only thing I even know from the story is that Coheed kills most of his family and that's it. :p

I couldn't give two shits about the story itself even though I like some songs lyrically separated from the others.

[DJ Ducksauce]

It's KBI Ian. Duh.


/starts arguement again in order to liven up thread

[Riziger]

hmmm cool, coheed thread!

well, i love them.

[TheBigMachine]

What IS the story anyway?

[Riziger]

basically,

Coheed and cambria are the parents of 4 children i think. Coheed gets bitten by a dragonfly who inserts some poison into him and he turns into the Monstar(it's not misspelt). erm, Claudio who is one of the four children is rescued by his uncle, Jesse.

Claudio who has become the Monstar is i think destroying the Keywork(the 4 circles and a triangle thing which is actually their solar system or summat) slowly.

thats pretty much all i know. Good Apollo is written from the Writer's point of view, the Writer being the creator of this story.

Ten Speed is a possesed Bicycle.

there are a lot of other small things that happen to Claudio which are really quite troublesome to explain like his love-life etc. he likes Newo Ikkin and i think after that, Ambellina but i'm not sure abt ambellina.

[TheBigMachine]

OIC. It sounds pretty intricate etc etc, I might google it. Or maybe listen to the story songs, I dunno...

[DJ Ducksauce]

Oh, and Apollo is a dog.

Cant forget that.

[Riziger]

haha yeah.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ambellina is a fairy and Claudio loves her but then she gets killed in GA.

[B]

I want the comics.

I don't even care about Coheed the comics just seem cool.

[Riziger]

Ambellina is a fairy and Claudio loves her but then she gets killed in GA.

Cool, i didnt really get GA... writer's point of view and all.

Yeah the Graphic Novels are damn cool.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I like the comics better. They make more sense.

[Riziger]

but the Graphic Novels look so awesome....

[DepthsOfDreams555]

They only had two comics and they were sweet the graphic novel is awesome too though. The story is pretty cool but it's stupid trying to figure it out I'm just going to wait for new records and comics and stuff.

[lunchforthesky]

dont they only have one record left to finish the story?
im sure claudio says that on the starland dvd

[TheBigMachine]

One record, and then like a cd where it's just the entire story in one.

[DJ Ducksauce]

New video.

Weird yet cool.
http://www.forums.cobaltandcalcium.com/showthread.php?t=27085

[Riziger]

hmmm it's a home-made one tho....still pretty cool.

October 31st!!!! can't wait!

[DJ Ducksauce]

Still, home made by the band.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Man, Coheed is gonna be in Edmonton on the 15th.

I wish I still lived there. :(

[Ande12333]

does anyone have link for INFERNO?

[Cesar21]

the band is really good. I'm one of those people that don't like songs that go ove 5:30 min, so that would be the only let down.... i like some long songs but mainly they get boring

[TheBigMachine]

Yeah I agree, sometimes they get a bit lengthy.

[Kif]

Link for PFI is in the PPDU.

I'm really getting into it now. It's a nice break from the heavier of Coheed's sound, and it's very slowed paced. Also lots of really good music on there too, a lot of the songs feel very imaginative and fresh to listen to. I'm impressed.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Dear Friends,

It is a very special day for me, The Prize Fighter Inferno’s “My Brother’s Blood Machine” is in stores today! This record has been a long time coming, it encompasses about 8 years of ideas, mostly just me messing around in my free time that turned into something I’m really proud of.

Coheed and Cambria’s new DVD “The Last Supper: Live at the Hammerstein Ballroom” is also in stores today! This was recorded on the last stop of this year’s spring tour, in New York City. Coming home to NY is always a good time for us, and we feel privileged to have captured those moments in our lives that we’ll now have forever to share with all of you!

We hope that you will go and check both of these releases out, and please leave us comments and let us know what you think!

-Claudio


From PFI Myspace.

Coolio.

Might buy it if I like after I listen to it from ppdu.

[Fish]

coheed is still wicked! the acoustic version of favor house on their myspace made me all warm inside

[Kif]

http://altpress.com/news/1454.htm

Apparently Mic and Josh have left the band permenantly now.

[cobert]

...I felt there were creative differences to some degree most of the time, especially with In Keeping Secrets and Good Apollo...

So basically Claudio and Travis are proggy tools that decided to screw up the masterpiece sound of SSTB.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

basically yeah. what ever i still like everything by them. it just bums me out.

[EinzingerIsGod]

The departure of Micheal and Josh solidifies my decision to stop caring about this band.

Although I never really cared for Josh's drumming.

[cobert]

Haha, my thoughts exactly.

[Riziger]

sigh, guess what, i can't find neither the last supper nor PFI in my local stores.

why are they such idiots? They brought in Good Apollo but not The Last Supper.

[Fish]

the last supper is wild! I can't wait to see them live again

[Riziger]

this song has been on the net for awhile now but their new song, Mother Superior is seriously awesome.

i dled it from the cobalt forums altho it's acoustic live it still sounds really really good.

[neverender]

http://altpress.com/news/1454.htm

Apparently Mic and Josh have left the band permenantly now.

yeh thats really reallllly bad news :( mics bass tone and style compliments the drumming, and they both fit with the guitar style perfectly..

i know theres a lot of elitist 'individuals' that think sstb was the only good album, but u get those ppl with all bands (fans thinking they are old school etc)... the past 3 albums were all amazing... dunno if theyll be any good at all without mic and josh :(

[DJ Ducksauce]

All GA really was was guitar. It's a lot harder to get into than the other 2 imo.

Welcome Home raped for quite a while.

[Neoteric]

I was listening to Good Apollo today, omg sex

[Fish]

the last supper is orgasmical

[Neoteric]

Hah, I love the last 4 tracks. Cheesy modern prog :p

[TheBigMachine]

Proooooooooog, hey shut up about prog, it is teh winnah.

[cobert]

What do you call music from the Czech Republic?























Prague Rock.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Hahaha, that's awesome Cob.

Anyways, any news on when GA Vol II is gonna start recording?

And is the PFI album worth getting?

[TheBigMachine]

I'm anxious for Vol II. I didnt actually think Vol I was all that bad, and hopefully they put out a SSTB performance for this one.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I just hope it's not as overproduced, and incorporates the whole band more rather than just a lot of guitar.

Vol I was nice in chunks. I kinda had to force myself to listen all the way through.

Strong start, strong ending, but the middle only had a few solid songs.

[TheBigMachine]

The middle was yeah, a little bit...Meh. But like you say, I really enjoyed the start and finnish. Best track: Welcome Home

[DJ Ducksauce]

Hmm, I really liked the acoustics, and the Apollo tracks were neat.

Welcome Home and Final Cut were the most epic, and the Willing Wells were a really nice string of songs.

I don't really have a favorite.

Suffering was fun too.

[Neoteric]

I have a soft spot for Once Upon Your Dead Body, just because of that nice melodic guitar line.

[Riziger]

hmmm, i kinda thought GA was really good. or maybe coz it was my first coheed album so i listened to it a whole lot more than the other 2. I really like IKSOSE tho, really enjoyable album with suffiecient complexity and structure to the songs.

SSTB was good as well but the recording quality kinda lets it down a bit.

lol i thought all 3 albums were really really good, 3 of the best albums i've bought ever.

hehe or maybe it's just the fanboyism.

[neverender]

I just hope it's not as overproduced, and incorporates the whole band more rather than just a lot of guitar.

Vol I was nice in chunks. I kinda had to force myself to listen all the way through.

Strong start, strong ending, but the middle only had a few solid songs.

I dunno why you think that :x The bass riffs on vol1 are awesome imo (and very much a big part of the music), mic has a really great sounding style... and the way he plays with the bass drum compliments the drumming a lot...Maybe you need a better subwoofer :D

Having said that I had to force myself to listen all the way through the first few times (i bought it after hearing welcome home and the suffering), but after a few listens it's now one of my favourite albums.... each to his own i guess tho :chug:

really nto sure about the next album with new bass and drums :/

[Neoteric]

Umm... that was one of the only instances I've listened to an album a few times through the first time I got it.

[lunchforthesky]

Hahaha, that's awesome Cob.

Anyways, any news on when GA Vol II is gonna start recording?

And is the PFI album worth getting?

its definately worth having but not worth paying money for.

[TMA]

All GA really was was guitar.

Dude, feel free to repeat that when you come to me and play me the drums in either The Telling Truth or The Writer Writing :thumb:

[TurnTheOtherWay]

yay Coheed! :)

I know this hasn't been brought up for at least 10 pages, but I've only encountered 4 people in my school that I know like Coheed. I was already good friends with two of them before I discovered their C&C passion. One of the other kids who likes them is absolutely obsessed with Claudio, maybe even more than Ian (like, he either has a C&C or PFI shirt on more often than not), and one of them is a chick who brought up Coheed one day in class, who I'm actually trying to date right now. Most everyone else I bring them up to is either like, "eww i hate his voice" or "I like Welcome Home but everything else is poopy". Heathens.

Claudio is Jesus. srsly.

[lunchforthesky]

So whats going on with the line up changes, i heard the dillinger drummer is doing their next album.

In other news Second Stage Turbine Blade is about a million times better than all their other albums.

[Neoteric]

Their first album is probably my favourite (name escapes me right now).

[DJ Ducksauce]

The Second Stage Turbine Blade that be.

Argh.


I mean CHAR!

[Neoteric]

Yes, I only understand Charmander language.

And yeah, it clicks with me now.

[Riziger]

holy ****, i just got The Last Supper.

cant even begin to describe how awesome it is...

[hey, you're not cory!]

Is the front cover supposed to symbolize the rhythm sections departure from the band?

[neverender]

Why do so many coheed "fans" only like sstb?

All 3 albums are awesome, the latter 2 better produced... theyre relatively similar musically, so I can only assume its an attempt to look "old school" (how cool are you).

Its a downhill slope now mic and josh have gone though :( :( :( :(

[B]

no the third album sucks

sstb and iksose are good

[Neoteric]

No way! The third one's my favourite :(

[hey, you're not cory!]

In Keeping Secrets... > Second Stage > Good Apollo, Vol. 1

I think people probably prefer SSTB the most because it is the most musically accessible.

[neverender]

In Keeping Secrets... > Second Stage > Good Apollo, Vol. 1

I agree with that, but most of them say SSTB=good, others =****... just seems like theyre trying to make some kind of stupid childish statement.

All 3 are very good albums!

[hey, you're not cory!]

Oh I like them all, its just that from like 6-8 on Apollo bore me.

And I'm iffy about their new cd.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Why do so many coheed "fans" only like sstb?

All 3 albums are awesome, the latter 2 better produced... theyre relatively similar musically, so I can only assume its an attempt to look "old school" (how cool are you).

It's not about how old school you seem, but when you listen to all 3 of them, it really stands out as different and more interesting than the other 2.

All 3 have their epic songs though.

And GA was a let down(face step step down).

IKSSE:3 was my first Coheed album, and I loved it to death, but yeah, SSTB is more accessible than the others.

[Eliminator]

good apollo blows

[lunchforthesky]

Second Stage and In Keeping Secrets are both great.

Good Apollo sucks

[neverender]

So you don't like a single song on the album? Some of the songs like welcome home, the suffereing and the willing wells were awesome, they felt like the perfect progression on a new album...

just cause there's a couple weak songs doesn't mean the album sucks, dont be so elitist.

[Riziger]

Hmm, for the umpteenth time i'll say this.

I like all 3 albums, altho maybe not equally. They each give something different.

SSTB gives that raw, unpolished sound. IKSOSE3 i feel is more towards pop-punkish with really nice sing-along style songs. GA is more technically oriented and maybe a bit of metal influence, I think it's heavier and darker too.

I think my fave is IKSOSE3 cos of the amount of songs i love on it. However, how can any Coheed fan seriously not like Welcome Home? Definitely my fav coheed song. GA maybe has a few weak songs but in the end i think it's still awesome.

[B]

GA has a couple mediocre songs at best lol

[lunchforthesky]

So you don't like a single song on the album? Some of the songs like welcome home, the suffereing and the willing wells were awesome, they felt like the perfect progression on a new album...

just cause there's a couple weak songs doesn't mean the album sucks, dont be so elitist.

Not one song on there is anywhere near the standard of everyhting on SSTB and IKE, had they not made those albums they maybe i would like GA but unluckily for them they did make those albums.

[Eliminator]

good apollo, i'm burning fag IV u

[Grohlthegreat]

IKSOSE3 was the first CD of CoCa i got physically. Good Apollo... is **** compared to IKSOSE3

[neverender]

in your opinion :p

[Grohlthegreat]

No shi.

[Eliminator]

thats a given

[Boilermaker]

The gym teacher's assistant at my brother's school played drums for them before they got signed.

[Grohlthegreat]

^thats cool.

[TheBigMachine]

Very cool.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Huge bump.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2023892361

New PFI video. I guess this is what Claudio has been working on.

Anyone got news on Vol II?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I thought it was supposed to be released in the fall sometime...idk?

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Besides that it is rumored to be called Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: The World of No Tomorrow, there really isn't much news.

I think that some songs from the album will be debuted during the 2007 VWT.

[cobert]

I dont even care about this band anymore, so I cant get hyped.

SSTB was good, and thats that.

[B]

I dont even care about this band anymore, so I cant get hyped.

SSTB was good, and thats that.

yeah pretty much sums up my feelings too

after GA was released i lost all interest

[neverender]

mic todd is back!!!! :D :D:D

best news i have heard in ages :D sooooo glad!

yay.

[Fuzzy]

Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume II: No World For Tomorrow

[TMA]

I just want to say how awesome it is to see that this thread is still alive.
I haven't been on this site in ages, and when I was, I was a heavy poster in this thread (go back and look at the early pages).
The fact that people still talking about this band in this thread makes me so amazingly happy.

[Fish]

Yeah same, its awesome to see people talking about coheed, I was just playing light and the glass earlier today. Claudio is the man

[DJ Ducksauce]

Whoa, Dave posts.

[Eliminator]

gay band

[DJ Ducksauce]

O noes. Nick dissapproves.

/slits throat

[DJ Ducksauce]

So apparently Chris Pennie is the new drummer for CoCa. What happened to Josh?

[Fish]

Whoa, Dave posts.

take that post home and chew it my friend :smash:

[DJ Ducksauce]

Haha will do.

[RetiredAt21]

I can't believe people still post in this thread. C&C is beat as hell, but of course you guys like mediocre/bad music.

[PietroCrespi]

Yeah, I think this band is boring, tbqh.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Well it's been dead for awhile.

And SSTB was great btw with IKSSE:3 not too far behind.

[cobert]

I can't believe people still post in this thread. C&C is beat as hell, but of course you guys like mediocre/bad music.

Justin, why must you troll?

SSTB was good.

[RetiredAt21]

Justin, why must you troll?

SSTB was good.

I'm not trying to troll but it just amazes me that the C&C fad isn't over yet. It boggles my mind.

You my nig, Cob.

[cobert]

It should be over, Good Apollo wasnt good.

[Permanent Solution]

SSTB wasn't good either but everyone wanks all over it =\

[RetiredAt21]

People shouldn't be wanking over anything C&C released.

[albert_bass]

I think while nothing near a masterpiece SSTB is a pretty good solid album. Catchy guitar riffs, cool bass lines, great vocals, what's not to like?

I can't say nothing about Apollo because I haven't listened to it but I will say that In keeping... had some great songs. For example "The crowing" is quite amazing.

[cobert]

That song is epic as ****.
