yay for transparency!

i didnt even know about this


wat

all the thursday fand getting pissy on absolutepunk was pretty funny.

anyone want to explain what happened? i'm out of the loop : (

everybody thta likes thursday hates us now so nobody hates us

thursday rep asked daitro to tour with thursday daitro said 'we'd rather not, thursday kinda sucks'. daitro's coments get leaked. geoff accuses daitro of being elitist posers.

...was a big deal on absolutepunk for a day or two.

i know the letter was addressed to Ryan, but if I remember right John posted it in the forums. either way that Daitro thread on AP was ridiculous.

omg Sputnik scandal

i kno, havent had one of those in a while

lmao wow.

where'd you post it at iluv

iluv has soiled our site's good name!

sputnik is a shit name

IT'S a sattelite

an old one.

iluv i thought you didn't really want the info on this actually deleted in the emo thread and yet when mute deleted it you got all "NO MAN I WAS JUST JK"

at least that's how you acted

ugh i'm pissed i missed this

at least i get to see the fallout!

absolutepunk thread is lol

so many "these guys seem like dicks so their music must suck" comments.

took a while for an apology to be issued
didn't this happen a while ago?

i didnt really want it deleted and then he did and i was like i was jk bro

that was how i acted yes

I am pissed that Thursday is touring with TDEP cause I really want to see them but like Daitro said Thursday sucks. Maybe i'll go and leave early who knows.

took a while for an apology to be issued
didn't this happen a while ago?

tbh it was pretty funny

hi Ryan

sorry but we declined because we hate this band, we just can't take them seriously and they totally suck with their promo photos, booking agent, tourbus, major record company and all that crap we feel too much far from. Sorry to disappoint you but fortunately we don't need these kind of offers to tour the US
!!

all the best

Geoff Rickly replies on the Thursday fan site, Thursdizzle.net:

DIY is and has been alive in the US for a long time... I think a lot of the ethics of DIY are great(and I've been involved in that scene in many aspects for years[thanks lost in Paris]- as a promoter of house shows, putting out indie records, playing in bands that play DIY, community based shows and working to help establish a DIY network [allagesmovementproject]) and a lot of the people who espouse them are sincere. And a lot of the people that preach DIY just want to look cool and self-righteous. Great. Just what the world needs.

Thursday has been touring for ten years and played all over the world. We've had people help us, we've employed our friends, payed for their healthcare, made tons of music and art. It's been a full time job and we've loved it. If we had stayed diy and done it all, we would have done 1/2 the touring or less... How many chances have you had to see daitro???

I could also learn to make my own clothes and build my own house but I don't. Neither do most people. When you break it down we all choose what we want to make. Thursday chose music over business as a job.

CONTROVERSY

haha, I frequent both sites, so hearing this from both sides is pretty hilarious.
In other news, daitro is pretty great, I had to check them out after hearing about them via this "scandal"

John Hanson: Staff MVP

rofl this is redic.

is the post from martinez actually what they said? If so that's a super Thursday burn.

amazing thread is amazing

The funny this is that out of all parties involved, Rickly comes off as the least douchey. Weird.

I kinda like Thursday =(

is being a staff an actual job that you can make a living from? like a career choice?

I love thursday and i like daitro but thats a pretty shitty thing to say.

Gotta lot of respect for rickly.

I think this is funny as shit to be honest. Daitro some funny-ass motherlovers.

Thursday is pretty fantastic and Daitro is pretty good,
I think whether they like Thursday that much or not, declining was a stupid move.
And it's not like Thursday is credible, Geoff is also a very respectable guy.

The dudes in Daitro are pretty open about bands they dislike, spoke with them while they toured the US at a house show.

why would a band like daitro tour with thursday anyway, their fanbases don't really overlap (???)

FAIL

Wow Sputnik mods are fuc king idiots, this was on AP.net long before I saw it on MX. Hell I posted it on the forums before anyone. Congrats, you guys are retarded.

John Hanson is indeed awesome.

I strive for "John Hanson" every day of my life. It's unachievable though, unless it's John Hanson achieving it.

it's 12:20 am here

this is relevant

Hell I posted it on the forums before anyone.

Congrats, you guys are retarded.




Lol HighandDriving is a giant retard

whats "DIY" lifestyle??

lol what the hell happened up in hurr

They're

French

iluvatar is gonna get beat up by a french dude

It's a good thing no one uses the forums.

haha and the fucking idiot brags insisting that "I posted it first!!1!"

i'm going to go with the biggest lol in the ap thread is the dude who said Thursday shaped screamo.

i laughed, hard.

na the funniest is the one that said daitro were idiots cuz they didn't use proper grammar like geof did.

itt john hanson is distraught

So yea, I invented screamo.

lol

lolololololololol @ this

i was at this show and the drummer of the opening band passed out in the middle of his set

everyone was like OH MY GOD

i heard someone say, "please, call me john hanson."

yay for transparency!

Well, this is interesting.
