OK, can someone tell me who Glenn is please?

I am so confused.

Old drummer, before Mike Felumlee.
Glenn Porter was his name.
He drummed on Maybe I'll Catch Fire, and I think Goddammit.

Check Dan's FA

aw man that's embarrasing, I read that.

in one ear... out the other...
hm.. i thought they only had 2 drummers? wow you learn something new everyday..

just a thought - why is it most bands have problems with their drummers? (Green Day, for example.)

And Blink182.

I know a Glenn, he lives next door but one to me, he has one nice superbike.

Saves the day has gone through 4 drummers and 2 bass players. I guess they're just hard to keep.

I think that with drummers, they aren't as influential to the band normally. So when a band loses one, they can be replaced. If you lose a lead guitarist, or singer, it is hard to carry on the band, so I just think that any bands who lose other members just fail as bands.

Like when TBS lost john nolan, you could tell the impact.

Yeah, with a lot of bands, the drummers don't make as much of an impact. If Blink lost Travis now though, I think they couldn't carry on. Or if Green Day lost Tré. Those drummers seem to do a lot during the song writing processes and help the band a lot.

I just typed up the most kick *** review of this band, and then my computer crashed.

Goddammit.

i think its hot water music who do a pretty da[b]m[/b]n good cover of radio

Yeah, tis on the Split EP. Its an OK cover, but its not great

Yay!!
 

[COLOR=DarkOrange]I have to get in on this alkaline trio loving lol...i just joined the forum thingy and of course have to go straight to the best band ever[/COLOR]

/Bumpped!

So, anyone hear the trio on Lock Up (BBC Radio 1) last night? I know me and Lillie were listening, and were in the chat room. I was a little dissapointed by all the fans talking endless crap in there, not giving Derek a chance to answer any questions...

Still, the radio talk was fairly interesting, except for worrying comments of getting to number one in the UK and going "mainstream". Sounded like they wanted it to happen :eek:

Dude, the fact that a band wants to be sucessful shouldn't worry you. Unless they completely change their sound to what's popular, or they ''sell out''. Which they havn't.

I snapped and downloaded their new album so I have something new to listen to when I'm revising. I really really like it. I'm gonna buy it when it's officially released.

Danm, i forgot

^ pics, note the wedding ring on Dan's finger... I guess I'll just have to marry Derek, he's the only one left :p

dude, that was one awesome show... they didn't answer any of my questions though... :upset:

I saw them play there new single "time to waste" on Fuse Tv's Steven's Untitled Rock Show. It's no surpiruse to me but the single kicks as*s. new cd comes out may 24th. who's excited?

I listened to it....

some of the new stuff sounded great, some of it sounded below the standard of their other stuff though

i just herd a new song from there new album, time to waste on there myspace site, sounds amazing, thats the next album im buying

God****it is such a ****ing awesome cd, thier first one too i guess, but that cd is sooo good
trouble breathing
nose over tail
cringe
cop
sorry about that
clavical
just like every song on it rocks so hard

Alkaline Trio's new album, entitled "Crimson", is AMAZING.
Has anyone else heard it yet?

I love it, it's great!

I'm so stupid, I should have read everything above my post!!

Sorry guys and girls.

I just realised I have an Alkaline Trio avatar :lol:

Quadripple post!


/postcount ++ Sorry

New PAGE! WOO

Ok I'm leaving now.

San Francisco is their best song.

i went out and bought crimson yesturday, and its amazing, loving the songs, 'the poison' and 'burn', its all good.........

at the moment i can't stop listening to 'Smoke', i love the bit where it starts going 'i wish...', i just think its really cool

I got there album on tuesday, and i think it is really good. "Smoke" as of right now is my favorite song off the cd.

i love 'i was a prayer' and 'the poison'...wait, iv already said what i like, well, i like another one now, im so stupid!!!!!

I'm loving most of good mourning now.

Every thug needs a lady is a particular favourite at the moment

Favourite off Good Mourning: Blue in the Face
Favourites off Crimson: Sadie, Mercy Me, I was a Prayer, Back to Hell, Smoke

I can't stop listening to Crimson at the moment, it's addictive...

I think that with Crimson, they are some of Matts best songs, but Dans songs aren't as good as some of the older ones.
That's just my opinion though.

Whats better? Good mourning or crimson? i already have GM and love it, and i was wondering how good crimson is in comparison before i buy it

Anyone catch them on Conan last night?

I find it hard to compare the albums. They are both amazing, and of similar styles. If you love GM, get From Here To Infirmary and Crimson. Then try out Maybe I'll Catch Fire, Goddam[b][i][/b][/i]nit and the self titled. MICF, God.... and s/t are all of a more raw sound, and a lot faster, rather than the polished and slower sounds of the more recent albums.

"I'VE GOT A BIG FAT ****ING BONE TO PICK WITH YOU MY DARLING...."
/etc.

I love that song at the moment :D Listening to it right now, in fact.

This is true.

I don't really like the Poison too much.... but I love Smoke. :confused:

i love all of crimson its a ****in sick cd...i have every full length by them now and i downloaded the covers of Halloween and Children In Heat...anyone else agree that their version of Children In Heat doesnt sound a bit like the trio? Halloween was ****in amazing though makes me wanna learn how to play grand piano...
