The Official Streetlight Manifesto/Catch 22/BOTAR Thread

[AIRIC]

what happened to the sweet bassline in on and on and on around 2:10?

[FenderSRX]

what happened to the sweet bassline in on and on and on around 2:10?
its still there just it got overdubbed, one part played the roots, and the other part harmonized it in 3rds.

[maco]

am the only ones who has the songs riding the fourth waves, and this one goes out to cut out on them. If someone has the versions of these 2 songs that work right could u please send them to me. thanks.
wait what? something about Riding the Fourth Wave and This One Goes Out To...but what about them? "am the only ones who has the songs" doesn't even make sense. Please, retype whatever you attempted to say, sensibly.

[AIRIC]

It makes sense...

He's asking if anyone has versions of those 2 songs that don't cut off.

[maco]

Chinese Democracy???

I want more BOTAR too.
China's supposedly moving toward democracy and having it really soon, but they're still a dictatorship. SM is supposedly working on a new cd and releasing it within this lifetime, but they're taking hella long

[Brain Toad]

China's supposedly moving toward democracy and having it really soon, but they're still a dictatorship. SM is supposedly working on a new cd and releasing it within this lifetime, but they're taking hella long

Chinese Democracy has nothing to do with China, it's the new Guns and Roses album. Notice how orginial poster used italics

[tappenzee]

Where are these supposed new lyrics on Day In, Day Out? Am I missing something here?

[tappenzee]

China's supposedly moving toward democracy and having it really soon, but they're still a dictatorship. SM is supposedly working on a new cd and releasing it within this lifetime, but they're taking hella long

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahah

[AIRIC]

That was stupid.

[FenderSRX]

Where are these supposed new lyrics on Day In, Day Out? Am I missing something here?
In the original version the 2nd version has the same lyrics as the first, In the new version streetlight wrote new lyrics for the 2nd verse, its pretty noticeable.

[FenderSRX]

wait what? something about Riding the Fourth Wave and This One Goes Out To...but what about them? "am the only ones who has the songs" doesn't even make sense. Please, retype whatever you attempted to say, sensibly.
Do you have the streetlight version of those songs that dont cut out. Thats what Im asking.

[Theramed]

I think the only good thing about them releasing this album is that they can play this material live now.

Does anyone else think that the bass line at the start of walking away doesn't sound as good?

[POINTLESS5448]

its not like it ever stopped them from playing it live before.

[albert_bass]

I think the only good thing about them releasing this album is that they can play this material live now.

Does anyone else think that the bass line at the start of walking away doesn't sound as good?

I thought it sounded just different. At least the line throughout the song is listenable this time.

I like both versions and I think I slightly preffer the bass line in the SM album.

[tappenzee]

In the original version the 2nd version has the same lyrics as the first, In the new version streetlight wrote new lyrics for the 2nd verse, its pretty noticeable.

*head explodes*

*reassembles head*

explain again please?

[Liebensaft]

*head explodes*

*reassembles head*

explain again please?
In the second verse in the new version, just leaked from Streetlight Manifesto, the lyrics are different from the first verse. The Catch 22 version was not like that.

[DaveToopes]

There are some people in this thread...


Oh man.

[tappenzee]

In the second verse in the new version, just leaked from Streetlight Manifesto, the lyrics are different from the first verse. The Catch 22 version was not like that.

Oh I see... I listened, and it's clear... thanks fellas

[Liebensaft]

There are some people in this thread...


Oh man.
Cue Eff Tee. :rolleyes:

[Henrik]

I am dieing to hear this, but I won't until it's oficially released and I have the cd my hand.

[Jessizzle]

This cd is stupid. It sounds exactly the same for the most part. they just pretty much took the one good thing away from catch 22 ( Personally i enjoy all of catch 22s stuff, but you know)

[tappenzee]

They explain it all at the end of the CD. Yeah, it sounds the same, but the sound quality is a lot better. Just think of it as a re-release of Keasbey Nights and you'll sleep better at night.

I wish all bands re-recorded their material when they had a re-release of an album. Beats a couple layered drums thrown over the original tracks

[gastery6]

I think they should have made a whole new album those lazy bastards

[Henrik]

If you look at their touring plan, you would see that they aren't lazy at all. I think the idea of remaking KN is fine. As long as it doesn't mean that we have to wait another two years for some new stuff.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

They're writing new stuff now, which is why they're not touring.

[gastery6]

I guess your right then

[Let's Chop Cats!]

http://streetlightmanifesto.com/
Forgot about that too.

[Shtein]

I've got my copy pre-ordered:)

[gastery6]

I burned a copy

[spuck]

Just think of it as a re-release of Keasbey Nights and you'll sleep better at night.


but i wouldnt even consider buying a typical re-release. This one poses a dilemma for me...

i think ill probably just get it, from what ive heard of it and my gut instinct, it wont, it cant be better than the original, but it should atleast be interesting...

[ibanezman575]

I think they should have made a whole new album those lazy bastards
123 lol

[Catchthe22]

Like most I was disappointed with it. Here are my random thoughts. I do have some bias because my favorite album is the original and has been for over 6 years. The more unchanged a song was the more I liked it. The new lyrics are nice of course and they should have done more of that. The horns might have been too "cookie cutter" recorded and I say that because they are lacking some spice and some character. I like the singing for the most part; not as good as I was expecting. I like the changes to Riding the Fourth Wave(guitar in beginning and flute). I thought they left the explosion effect out of 9mm, but I really liked the added horn line from 00:56-01:00. The singing in Kristina and Footsteps is very similar. Walking Away, 9mm, and Keasbey Nights were probably my least favorite remakes. I liked how Giving Up, Giving In sounded.

By the way Im new to the boards. Ive been reading them for a few weeks now though. C22, SM/BOTAR are all in my top 3 favorite bands, but i like a lot of ska. So ill be checking out this thread and the ska thread quite a bit. :thumb:

[ibanezman575]

welcome

[Catchthe22]

I dont know if this interview was posted earlier but it seems legit. Basic interview from Kevin Gunther(trumpet) from Catch 22, except he sheds some light on the Tomas and re-visited album issue. http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=80885

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

They're writing new stuff now, which is why they're not touring.They're touring may/june with Aquabats, so they can't be recording that much.

[DuckinFutch8]

I'm so pumped for the B.O.T.A.R. album...

I prefer them quite a bit to Streetlight...

[Moon Flavor]

I'm so pumped for the B.O.T.A.R. album...

Me too. Any details on the release?

[Let's Chop Cats!]

They're touring may/june with Aquabats, so they can't be recording that much.
Doesn't take that to record.

[Moon Flavor]

Doesn't take that to record.
123 the time consuming part is writing....recording can be done in one or 2 long days if needed.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Nah way more than that. With a ska band and that many instruments I'd say a couple weeks, including mixing.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

[DaveToopes]

Ick!

[Catchthe22]

Aquabats and Streetlight are hitting the west coast. They only have some confirmed dates out but looks like the west coast are the lucky ones.

[Kithkin]

Nah way more than that. With a ska band and that many instruments I'd say a couple weeks, including mixing.

Well, if they've been playing the songs live, they should be able to do an album in a day or two.

The mixing would take a little longer than a normal band, but not too much longer. Compared to Drums and the guitar, horns are pretty easy to mix.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Have they been playing the songs live? I haven't seen them recently or anything.

[DaveToopes]

Yes.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Ohh, any bootlegs from the songs?

[DaveToopes]

I don't have any, there's a bunch of live sets on soulseek if I can remember correctly though.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

So. That tour better announce some east coast/mid west dates or I am seriously going to **** myself in anger.

[asdf]

Midwest tour dates would be awesome. If they play anywhere in Michigan I'm there. Well... maybe not in the upper penninsula...

[DaveToopes]

My friend and I said that if they play anywhere in Ohio, we had to be there.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Midwest tour dates would be awesome. If they play anywhere in Michigan I'm there. Well... maybe not in the upper penninsula...=-o


Goodness. I might see you!



Michiganders!



And I got my SLM hoodie today. It's pretty sweet. A bit big, but sweet.

[Buzzbomb]

According to the Victory website, Keasby Nights comes out tomorrow.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I think I'll probably go buy it.

To support the band.

[Iron Bug]

I think I'll probably go buy it.

To support the band.
Pics of sweatshirt?

[Buzzbomb]

I think I'll probably go buy it.

To support the band.


Yeah, I'll most likely buy it seeing as i don't own the Catch 22 Keasbey Nights

[DaveToopes]

...Excuse me?

[Buzzbomb]

Sadly, I don't own Keasby Nights by Catch 22.

[DaveToopes]

...Excuse me?

[Buzzbomb]

Weiners.

[_JR]

=-o

And I got my SLM hoodie today. It's pretty sweet. A bit big, but sweet.

which one did yo get, i was about to buy one from the risc site, but i dont know what one i like the most

[POINTLESS5448]

i like the original keasby nights better. the new one is pretty much the same mabye a little bit better quality but its just not the same as the old one.

[DaveToopes]

As little sense as that made, I understand.

[tappenzee]

Raw energy vs masterful sound

I understand the trade-off

[Brain Toad]

Yeah, I'll most likely buy it seeing as i don't own the Catch 22 Keasbey Nights

Neither do I, and I won't be buying this one either, I see no reason to, not something I really want on CD.

[mostlydeadonarrival]

Wow its been about 5 months since I've been on Mx.

I got the album eariler today after volleyball pratice about 5:30. I have since listened to it almost 3 times straight through. I share some of the critism/opinons you guys have but mainly mine is smaller.

1.Ok the horns do kinda sound a bit on the Midi side at first but I got over that quickly

2. Horn players-so much better,crisper etc. I am a trombone player and personally believe the horn players are at their peak.

2a. Solos-the horn solos are incredible at times and at others just ok. I now like Walking Away because of the solos SLM

In short I love this album. It is justified simply by the concept of hearing them do 1234 1234 live

[Dude3]

Okay, can someone do me a big favor?

In short: Can someone please send me Streetlight Manifesto's "Everything Goes Numb" (the album)? My e-mail is Crazynessdude3@aol.com

I don't own the album, but tis on my OTHER computer, that happens to be broken. And on Saturday, me and some friends are going to the State Theater to see Motion City Soundtrack(it was a birthday present for my friend, I'm just going to hang with friends), and on the way there, I need a cd to listen to.

And with my other friend who's coming with me, we're used to going to the State Theater for ska concerts, and this will be our first ska-less show there. So in memory of our favorite show ever there, and out of any concert we've ever been to, I wanna listen to the whole Streetlight album.


Soooo, anybody wanna hook me up?

Pre-thanks =).

[DaveToopes]

I got you covered. Is YouSendIt okay?

[Dude3]

I got you covered. Is YouSendIt okay?
Yeah man, that'd be great.

Thanks!

[DaveToopes]

Alright, it's uploading now.

It's finished, tell me if that worked.

[Dude3]

Alright, it's uploading now.

It's finished, tell me if that worked.
Nah, it didn't work. It said the file was corrupted or something.

I'm not sure what to do. I guess tyr resending it, or if anybody else wants to do it, go for it, hah.

[DuckinFutch8]

I so hope they come to Indiana, Or Lousville...

'Cept no one else around here know's about them, I'd be hard pressed to find someone to go with...

All my friends like Classic Rock, which is obviously still awesome, but they need to get into Ska.

Problem is the local bands are all ****ty Ska-Core emo/screamo bands...

uggh...

[ibanezman575]

ska core isnt shitty...

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

which one did yo get, i was about to buy one from the risc site, but i dont know what one i like the mostI got...



THIS ONE!!!

Awesome. I have that same shirt. Got it from the last time they were here.

[Buzzbomb]

God damn music store didn't have Keasby Nights.

[DuckinFutch8]

the ska-core here is.

[DaveToopes]

Most third wave ska is ****ty.

[Catchthe22]

Catch 22 is coming out with a new CD this summer(late June) and im pretty pumped. It's called Permanent Revolution. Kevin(the trumpet/vox) said that this album is going to be more punk style(maybe more like Alone In A Crowd). Some bash them after Tomas left but i still think they are great. There last cd wasnt the best but it had a handful of good songs in my opinion. And if Lament and some of the songs are to be a sign of whats to come, i have a good feeling of this one. I see C22 compared to Pink Floyd; Syd Barrett(guitar/songwriter/vox) started it off for Pink Floyd and wrote the first album and first 2 hit singles and after he left the band the music changed quite dramatic. It just happens. Pink Floyd ended up writing all there well known stuff after that.

[sketchyjoe]

But Pink Floyd suck and dissappeareed up their own arses fairly quickly.

[Catchthe22]

I almost understood that

[Jessizzle]

I really like your avatar... Too bad im a stoner... It would work so well for me. Every time i get caught drunk, i start yelling " IM DRUNK ON SKAAAAAAA!!"
That one didnt go over too well with the rents'

[AIRIC]

Emo is good though.

[DaveToopes]

So wait, Catch 22 and Pink Floyd sound nothing alike. I don't get the connection.

Actually I do it was just dumb.

[Catchthe22]

My main connection was after syd left pink floyd their sound changed and lost a fan base. It is a parallel to Catch 22. And that is all.

edit: i really like your avatar also PaintJessGreen. Tell your mom tell your dad, we were super rad.

[AIRIC]

Also both bands aren't very good.

[DaveToopes]

Oh. I see, that's a very interesting point to make.

[AIRIC]

It's true. Pink Floyd are overrated and Catch 22 are awful save Keasby Nights and even worse than their post-Keasby Nights records is their live show.

[DaveToopes]

I can't believe that you are seeing them AGAIN.

[tappenzee]

It's true. Pink Floyd are overrated and Catch 22 are awful save Keasby Nights and even worse than their post-Keasby Nights records is their live show.

What do you think of SLM though?

[honkybrewster]

My mail order of KN2 comes TODAY.

[AIRIC]

I can't believe that you are seeing them AGAIN.

I can't believe it either, I f'ucking hate Catch 22 live. Especially since I see them it seems like once every 3 or 4 months. Same with the Toasters except they put on an amazing show.

And I think SLM are amazing. They put on an amazing show both times I've seen them as well.

[POINTLESS5448]

catch-22 is coming down here soon. should i go?

[Jessizzle]

YES.. really I missed them and hate myself for it. Catch 22 is one of my favourite bands ever.

[AIRIC]

See them once and then never again.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

First of all, pre Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd was reeeally good. Second, Pink Floyd actually got a lot more commercial success after Syd left.

God, I hope BOTAR goes on tour and comes to Seattle.

[Pirate Satellite]

I actually really like the new Keasbey.

I agree that it is way better than a crappy re-release, although the original will always have its place in my heart.

I'm dying to see Streetlight again.

[DaveToopes]

I'm dying to see them once.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

Me too, I had the chance but my brother couldn't drive me there.

[DaveToopes]

My ride fell through too.

[POINTLESS5448]

happened to me twice. i regret it every day.

[ibanezman575]

i was gonna go but it was like three days after i saw pennywise and my parents didnt wanna drive me up there again.

[Buzzbomb]

i was gonna go but it was like three days after i saw pennywise and my parents didnt wanna drive me up there again.

Shouldn't have went and saw Pennywise then.

[ibanezman575]

it was worth it
i also got to see h20

[Moon Flavor]

Streetlight would put on a much cooler show than Pennywise, I'd imagine.

/random assumption

[ibanezman575]

both would put on an equally cool show

[ThePinkPanther]

How is Streetlight live? I'm thinking about going down to Bamboozle to see them.

[Ghostfire3]

I would imagine they're great live, but unfortunately I haven't had the privelage of seeing them yet.

[ibanezman575]

most bands are good live, as long as they dont mess up

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

There's some live streetlight videos on YouTube.

[DaveToopes]

There is live videos of every band ever on YouTube.

[Skidmark Steve]

YouTube rules hard!

[asdf]

There is live videos of every band ever on YouTube.
Not true. I'm having an easy time stumping it. Still, there's a lot of videos on there, and it's awesome.

[DaveToopes]

Don't you get smart with me...


JK! I was just saying that there are a lot of videos.

[nonsense!]

Oh my god, none of you have seen Streetlight live? I saw them with the Tossers in Atlanta and they were AMAZING.

The thought of being no less than 10 feet away from Tomas Kalnoky gives me shivers.

You have to go next time they come within 3 states of you.

[AIRIC]

I've seen them twice!! :hi5:

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

Has anyone here ever seen BOTAR live?

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

YouTube rules hard!video.google is better because you can download the videos.

[ibanezman575]

I've seen streetlight live. It was amazing. The only bad thing was (embarrassingly enough) I didn't really know them at the time. Other than that, it was an absolutely great show. It was at a small venue, and everyone was so into it.

[FenderSRX]

Has anyone here ever seen BOTAR live?
do they even play out? I never heard any info on them playing shows somewhere.

[nonsense!]

do they even play out? I never heard any info on them playing shows somewhere.

When I saw Streetlight, they played They Provide the Paint... with some instrument changes beforehand, promoting the BOTAR album.

I'm not sure they have ever toured as a whole band, just SM "covering" their songs.

[DaveToopes]

I don't think they have ever played any shows.

[Kithkin]

Yeah, it was just recorded in a basement over about 2 years.

Streetlight would put on a much cooler show than Pennywise, I'd imagine.


But not h20, who are one of the best live bands around.

Streetlight is great live, but they benifit from great source material. H20's stuff is a good but generic hardcore, and popularity comes directly from their live show.

[ibanezman575]

yes h20 were great
guilty by association is an awesome song

[Skidmark Steve]

video.google is better because you can download the videos.
YouTube has a better selection, but Google is way quicker.

How do you download them?

Also, does anyone know how to put videos on an IPOD?

[Henrik]

You need a programme that can convert the videos to mp4.

[Skidmark Steve]

Yea nevermind I got it.

I just downloaded a live DK video.

[maco]

Oh my god, none of you have seen Streetlight live? I saw them with the Tossers in Atlanta and they were AMAZING.

20 July 2004, Nick's Fat City, opening acts: Suckerpunch Thompsons, Radiobomb, The Lemmiwinks, the Know How

16 June 2005, Mr. Small's Theatre, opening acts: Feeding Zeus, Hope on a Rope, Gym Class Heros, Whole Wheat Bread

I went to the 2004 show to see the Lemmiwinks. I had a Lemmiwinks shirt and a Streetlight cd and patch when I went home.

[sketchyjoe]

Lemmiwinks! Lemmiwinks!

[AIRIC]

I'm bored of live ska.

[Liebensaft]

YouTube has a better selection, but Google is way quicker.

How do you download them?

Also, does anyone know how to put videos on an IPOD?
On the right side of the video where the download button is, there's a drop down menu and one of the choices of a download is the mp4 iPod format.

[Catchthe22]

I'm bored of live ska.

Have you ever tried live ska.....ON WEED!?!

jk, just made me think of Half-Baked.

[AIRIC]

Haha yeah it was slightly more fun, of course it was during a Catch 22 set so it wasn't very fun.

[Brian Manifesto]

Sorry if this was already posted, but if you go to the aquabats news section it has tour dates posted with Streetlight for June but only for the westcoast and mid-west!

But, rumors say the east coast will be getting Whole Wheat bread instead. :(

[AIRIC]

DUDE!!

Whole Wheat Bread and Streetlight was one of the best shows I ever went to. I would kill for another Streetlight/WWB show.

[IgniteYourAvail]

I heard Whole Wheat Bread on the satellite radio once. They were really fun.

[DaveToopes]

Their song about the old guy, I can't remember the name is awesome.

[Jessizzle]

im seeing them with the aquabats!!

[maco]

Lemmiwinks! Lemmiwinks!
hmm...South Park fan? Joey T?

Gabe started chanting "Lemmiwinks! Lemmiwink!" before Radiobomb even finished their set. And like half the people there were from my school. They either went cuz they're friends with the 'winks or because they're on stage crew and "must be streetlight fan" is a requirement of stage crew. If you're not already one, you'll be a fan within a month--they'll MAKE you be one.

[POINTLESS5448]

The journey before you may be long and filled with woe. But you must escape the gay man's ***, or your tale can't be told.

[AIRIC]

It's called Old Man Sampson. I seriously will be so excited if they come back here. Their album is so sweet.

[DaveToopes]

That's right. Yeah my friend got that album and I thought it was pretty good.

[POINTLESS5448]

i didnt know they were black. it jsut makes them cooler.

[Catchthe22]

It does. When I found out they were black, I thought it was the greatest thing because you never hear about black punk bands. http://www.backstreet-merch.com/bands/wwb/product.asp?item=wwb04

[AIRIC]

When they got onto stage the first time I saw them all 4 of us were like "wtf" at the same time.

[POINTLESS5448]

i liek how they have the rap songs at the end of their album even though they arent that good.

[ChicoRudo]

What is the deal with Tomas Kalnoky and his obsecion with crime form and Anti-Hero's? my favorites 9mm and a Three Piece Suit and Point/Counterpoint and manyt other feature this teme

jealous as ****, where and when

Sat. May 21 at The Alpine in Ventura, CA. They are playing with the Aquabats.

[michalovich420]

I heard Streetlight manifesto is coming out with a new album

[ert90]

I thought their only 'scheduled show" was at that festival,Bamboozle.

[nonsense!]

I heard Streetlight manifesto is coming out with a new album

Yes eventually. They also rerecorded Keasbey Nights. And BOTAR is coming out with a full length album.

[Mute Print]

And BOTAR is coming out with a full length album.
Oh man, I can't wait for that.

[Jessizzle]

am i the only one that finds the end of 12341234, when theyre talking, extrememly hard to understand?
Nope it is. and very confusing.. all i know is They will keep doing what they are doing.

[POINTLESS5448]

i liked the end to the original 12341234, with ambassador quan and such.

[Henrik]

I have always wondered: Who the **** is Ambassador Quan?

[the-UK-ska-scene]

[FauxApathy]

I thought their only 'scheduled show" was at that festival,Bamboozle.


They did not announce any other dates, but The Aquabats have put up some dates that they are touring, and also let slip that some of the dates would be with Streetlight Manifesto. All of the shows they're doing have either Streetlight Manifesto and No Trigger or Whole Wheat Bread and The Aggrolites on them.

you can see the (incomplete) tour list here.
http://www.theaquabats.com/news/news_tour.html

I'm pretty bummed out there's no Wisconsin date yet, but I can always hope. I'm going to try to get one state over, but I'm not sure If I can get a ride.

[Danger Bird]

YES!!! STREETLIGHT'S COMIN TO SEATTLE! I LOVE YOU, FAUX APATHY!

(typing in capitals is fun)

All of the shows they're doing have either Streetlight Manifesto and No Trigger or Whole Wheat Bread and The Aggrolites on them.

you can see the (incomplete) tour list here.

I'm pretty bummed out there's no Wisconsin date yet, but I can always hope. I'm going to try to get one state over, but I'm not sure If I can get a ride.

Nice! The Aquabats, Whole Wheat Bread and The Aggrolites are coming to Chicago! Yet no Streetlight. :(

[comptonassrobert]

****ing score!!!! I was just about to come on here and ask if it was really true that SM was going to be playing with the Aquabats since SM's website said their only set show was that festival.

The Aquabats!

Cost:
Time: 8:00pm
w/ Streetlight Manifesto & No Trigger



EDIT: Ah yes, I forgot the actual question. I checked ticketmaster and they don't seem to have any plans for these shows. How and where would I be able to get tickets then?

[the-UK-ska-scene]

I got given a free legit copy of the new Streetlight album the other day. Meaning I don't have to buy one and yet I don't feel guilty, wahey! ;)

I have a two day ticket and mostly just to see streetlight, strike anywhere, the bled, say anything, AFI, gym class heroes, and a few more, but i probably will just walk around and catch some bands.

[Liebensaft]

The only bands at Bamboozle worth paying any money at all to see are Streetlight, AFI, and Strike Anywhere. Well, maybe not AFI, since the crowd will be idiot scene kids adorned with black nail polish, but SM and SA are worth seeing.

[DaveToopes]

Paint it Black too.

[Liebensaft]

I haven't listened to them. What do they sound like, and are they worth downloading?

[POINTLESS5448]

id see stretch arm strong too.

i decided today that i like everything goes numb better than keasby nights so i like streetlight more than catch 22.

[sketchyjoe]

Bamboozle:
A bunch of ****ing awful bands.

I have a two day ticket and mostly just to see streetlight, strike anywhere, the bled, say anything, AFI, gym class heroes, and a few more, but i probably will just walk around and catch some bands.Lifetime are the best band there. But that's not exactly hard with that line-up.

[comptonassrobert]

Guys, any idea when tickets are going to go on sell for the Aquabats/Streetlight tour?

[Danger Bird]

Is there any difference at all between Tickmaster and Tickets West?

And I've never heard the aquabats, are they good?

EDIT: I found tickets to the show in my city by looking at the website of the club they're playing at. I'd look for that.

Meh, the Aquabats are decent enough, but their whole outfit/gimmick thing would provide for a more-than-pleasing set. Seeing Streetlight Manifesto alone would be enough to satisfy me though.

Hmmm I'll have to look at the venues website, thanks.

[Danger Bird]

Yeah, also try Tickets West instead of Ticketmaster. So...

The aquabats dress up in costumes?

[comptonassrobert]

Thanks a lot, the venue's website has the tickets =]

and.. http://www.nitrorecords.com/files/24/Aquabats_color4_72dpi.jpg :p

[KingOfSka]

I bought Streetlight Manifesto Presents Keasby Nights today. Theres an interesting blurb on the first page of the booklet.

There is absolutely no way of explaining the existence of the record you now hold in your hands without somehow offending, infuriating, confusing, or alienating certain parties, so we won't even try.

Please enjoy this for what it is.

[POINTLESS5448]

yeah they all dress up the same. its pretty goofy. they also have villians come up on stage which are also in rediculous costumes. just go to their website or google images and look at them. its a good show.

[maco]

hey! I love AFI! My nails are French manicured, not black, and I dress way too boyish (see photo at left) to be a scene kid.

[Liebensaft]

Ok, I over-generalized a little. But you must admit that the crowd will not be the same as it would at an AFI show a few years ago.

[Henrik]

nope it won't be at all.

[maco]

yeah....a lot less hardcore kids....though the new cd is supposed to have a lot of similarities so SYMAOYE so the hardcore kids may come back

[Henrik]

When is it comming out?

[maco]

6/6/6. It's to be called Decemberunderground (one word), and the first single, Miss Murder, will be released 25/4, filming for the music video occuring in early April.

[lpsoxfan88]

Who the hell is playing bass for Streetlight nowadays? Because he sure as hell ****ed up Walking Away, and I'm not happy.

[DaveToopes]

Dude I bet you're a lot better than whoever it is.

[maco]

Chris something...

[lpsoxfan88]

Dude I bet you're a lot better than whoever it is.
...That wasn't the point. I know the guy is a good bass player. I'm just pissed that, by simply changing one or two things around or adding a note in here or there, it totally wrecked what was, in my opinion, a damn-near-perfect bass intro.

'Atta way to be quick with the smart-*** comment, though. :thumb:

i think thats a stupid way to look at it. personally, i was dissapointed that not enough was changed. as much as i like the c22 one, i was excited to hear what changes would be made.

[Ghostfire3]

I really don't think he did anything bad on the intro at all. What didn't you like about it? Just a few added notes?

[lpsoxfan88]

I really don't think he did anything bad on the intro at all. What didn't you like about it? Just a few added notes?
Yeah, it just totally messed with the whole "feel" (for lack of a better word) of it. I mean, where did the cool bends and other instances of bass sexiness go? Perhaps I'm being way too critical (probably), but I just thought that the original was perfect.

And I agree with JR. I was looking for some nice changes, like new lyrics or different horn parts. And, like you, I was somewhat disappointed in that department. It just so happens that one change they did make was on my favorite song.

Oh, well, guess beggars can't be choosers, right?

[jettadude77]

the ultimate question now is...


when is there going to be an album of new material? probably wont get a straight answer for a little while still.

[Danger Bird]

I'm thinking late june or something, either from streetlight or botar. I'm probably seeing Streetlight open for the Aquabats in may.

[Mannik]

I'm dying for some new Botar stuff.

[Danger Bird]

fck yes

[Rockafella]

Who isn't?

[jettadude77]

anyone know what happened to the other streetlight forum, the one on skachilles.com? it's been down for ages

[as_seen_on_tv]

I'm going to venture the guess that a full-length BOTAR cd will make my brain explode.

I will also venture the guess that.........Kalnoky>God.

[Liebensaft]

Full-length BotAR has been talked about. Everybody wants it, but we've yet to hear concrete evidence of its existence.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

New BOTAR would probably kill me. Just straight up knock me into nothing.

[Ghostfire3]

New BOTAR would most likely destroy me. It would obliterate me into a million pieces and then obliterate those little pieces into a million more pieces each. Yeah.

[AIRIC]

It won't be that good.

[Flagjacket]

SLM > Catch 22 > BOTAR.

I went there

[Liebensaft]

You went there, but you went the wrong direction.

[AIRIC]

Slm > Botar > Catch22

[Liebensaft]

Much better. And that way for the sole reason that BotAR has no full-length.

[as_seen_on_tv]

To each his own,but I can't wait...

Does anyone wish they hadn't heard Streetlight,just so they can experience it for the first time again?

[AIRIC]

No because then I wouldn't have seen 2 amazing Streetlight shows.

[as_seen_on_tv]

Streetlight came here with Big D,but I missed it....I'm still pretty pissed.

[AIRIC]

I saw them once with Whole Wheat Bread and the other time I saw them was SID2, so whoever else played that show.

[as_seen_on_tv]

My area doesn't have a big ska scene at all,I'm trying to work on that...Catch 22 came...but I didn't go out of self-respect.

[Danger Bird]

BotAR>Slm>C22

[AIRIC]

My area doesn't have a big ska scene at all,I'm trying to work on that...Catch 22 came...but I didn't go out of self-respect.

Catch 22 are awful live. I've seen them 3 times I think and everytime was a pretty big disapointment.

[as_seen_on_tv]

Led-Zeppelin....That's what I like to see...

Yeah,I've heard they are bad live,but I didn't go because of the lack of Tomas.With him left anything good about that band.

[AIRIC]

Awful vocals.

[as_seen_on_tv]

Oh hell yeah. Awful lyrics to go along with it.

[Ghostfire3]

It won't be that good.

Yeah, I know I was just kidding. :p

[as_seen_on_tv]

I think it'll be in my stereo as well as my head for a good amount of time

[jettadude77]

the official streetlight site got updated finally, nothing earth shattering but it's signs of life http://www.streetlightmanifesto.com

[AIRIC]

Cool, I bet I get to see them agian this summer.

[POINTLESS5448]

catch-22
the tossers
the flatliners
patent pending
$12

yay or nay?

[AIRIC]

If you like the Tossers or Flatliners then go. Catch 22 aren't worth 12 dollars. Maybe 5 dollars.

[POINTLESS5448]

ive never hear either of them. are they good?

[AIRIC]

Never heard the Tossers. Flatliners are good.

[maco]

the Tossers are like Flogging Molly/Dropkick Murphy

[jettadude77]

these streetlight/aquabats shows must be pretty cool, i've never seen the aquabats live but it must be amusing to watch if anything

[Ghostfire3]

catch-22
the tossers
the flatliners
patent pending
$12

yay or nay?

Yay, mainly because of The Tossers and The Flatliners. Plus, Catch 22 would still be fun to skank to, amirite?

[AIRIC]

these streetlight/aquabats shows must be pretty cool, i've never seen the aquabats live but it must be amusing to watch if anything


It's amusing for like 5 minutes until you realize that the Aquabats are bad and annoying.

[Catchthe22]

Out of boredum, lets take a vote: In the song Here's To Life, which chorus do you like better? BOTAR or Streetlight Manifesto's? Try not to be bias(I dont think i will notice if you are or not). Try to think which one flows more smoothly, is more catchy, has better lyrics, etc.


Im going with Botar's because I think it is more catchy. Streetlight's has it's pluses also, of course.

[Microwave meals & ideals]

BOTAR's version, because I heard it first. Streetlight's sounded wierd because of that. Still good, but wierd.

[asdf]

I'm happy because my "band" is going to play Madness - One Step Beyond in the battle of the bands.

We're also playing Estradasphere, Herbie Hancock, Moondog, and Frank Zappa.

It's exciting.

[Henrik]

BOTAR's version, because I heard it first. Streetlight's sounded wierd because of that. Still good, but wierd.
I'm feeling the same way, but the other way around.

But after listening to both versions in a row I stand with my first thought. I also like the streetlight lyrics better.
Don't really understand the botar lyrics too.

Bonus info: this thread has reached 100 pages.

[Catchthe22]

You guys hit on other things Ive thought about the choruses that I didnt really want to say because I wanted fresh thoughts. I heard BOTAR version first and thought it went well but that I didnt really get the content of it. The Streetlight one I thought was more akward but that I understood the connection of the lyrics better.

[Liebensaft]

Quite an interesting mix there.

Also, who let you out of the DIY thread again?

[_JR]

streetlight because i heard it first and the above reasons are true but for SM.
botARS is good, just not what i was used to.

[asdf]

Quite an interesting mix there.

Also, who let you out of the DIY thread again?
The question should've been "why does your post have nothing to do with catch, streetlight, or botar?"

My answer? I thought this was the ska thread.

[Liebensaft]

Haha. Ok.

[Jessizzle]

Streetlight is Skemo?

[Danger Bird]

No wai.

[POINTLESS5448]

whats with all this azn spelling?

[ThePinkPanther]

damn it. I just read in this local paper that Catch 22 had a free show here on the 21st that i missed.

:upset:

[AIRIC]

You didn't really miss anything :)
