Dans Bass on Goddammit sounds so... ROAR. I wish I could get mine to sound like that. I love the poor recording quality (Like Green Days 1039/Smooth), I think it sounds much rawer and much more energetic.

Bad Blood 08-01-2005 12:31 PM

I know what you mean. Personally, i think greendays older stuff is alot better because of that reason.
I do like Goddammit a lot. Theres not much between my favourite album and my least favourite.

Angry Balled Fists! 08-01-2005 12:38 PM

I don't like the crappy recording.

HitHardDrums55 08-01-2005 12:45 PM

i dont really have a fav/least fav alk3 cd it kinda depends on what mood im in...

and to the guy who hasnt heard s/t yet...it's well worth buying for sure

also their splits are pretty good...i dont like hot water music but even their songs on that split are good and i fell in love with that song while youre waiting...love the lyrics
i havent heard any of the one man army portion of that split, but whenever i get some more money im definately buying it..

Its awesome. IMO better than the HWM split, although I love Hot Water Music, I didn't liek their Radio/Bleeder covers.

poprocks&coke 08-01-2005 12:55 PM

I liked their Radio cover, but I wasn't too sure about Bleeder...

My favourite order would be: From Here To Infirmary, God****it, Crimson, Good Mourning, Maybe I'll Catch Fire

I don't have their S/T either, I thought it was a compilation?

Bad Blood 08-01-2005 12:58 PM

I didn't even realise there was a s/t album by them until the other day.

Angry Balled Fists! 08-01-2005 12:59 PM

It's a B-side thing.

Like Shenanigans

poprocks&coke 08-01-2005 01:01 PM

Ahhh, I see.

HitHardDrums55 08-01-2005 01:01 PM

s/t is a compilation of all their old demos i think...just mastered its got the same style sound as god****it...but i think one or 2 songs are on both albums, but were different recordings cause glenn played em different on each one...still a great album...a lot more upbeat than newer stuff and they have a cure cover on there (exploding boy) which they did a great job on

Sigh... <3 the Cure

Yeah, the S/T is a B-Side jobbie. Features the old bassist on some of the tracks

poprocks&coke 08-01-2005 01:15 PM

Tut tut.

I love the bass bits on Cop... listening to it now...

They're so easy too!

Example of Dan's bass sounding teh **** on that album

Firecracker 08-01-2005 01:29 PM

I have s/t it's one of my favourite cds, with for your lungs only, sundials and goodbye forever on it. :) <3

HitHardDrums55 08-01-2005 01:44 PM

the breakdown on sundials is hard as sh!t on drums...im still tryin to work that out after like a year and a half or somethin

Let's Chop Cats! 08-01-2005 02:00 PM

Alkaline Trio don't have breakdowns in their songs.

Firecracker 08-01-2005 02:15 PM

As i was gonna say, i couldn't remember one.

HitHardDrums55 08-01-2005 02:27 PM

i dont know what it would be i call it a breakdown...i dont know the real word for it...the part where the drums change a lot and then every i guess 2 measures glenn adds something on to it, it just gets really tricky its right after the 2nd chorus in sundials...what would that be? like a bridge or interlude or whatever?

Let's Chop Cats! 08-01-2005 02:31 PM

Bridge most likely.

HitHardDrums55 08-01-2005 02:50 PM

ah, thank you!

poprocks&coke 08-01-2005 04:46 PM

Mmm-kay, so if I were to hang around outside the Apollo for these guys to sign something, would they come out?

[QUOTE=poprocks&coke]Mmm-kay, so if I were to hang around outside the Apollo for these guys to sign something, would they come out?[/QUOTE]
Quite possible if theres only one exit/stage door.

Me and my mates often stand around outside the acadamy waiting for bands to come out, but more often then not our taxi comes before we see them. You might also be waiting way over an hour.

poprocks&coke 08-01-2005 04:50 PM

So they won't run out before anyone else like McFly did?

And would I see them if I went before the show? Some people at Green Day tried to do that, I don't know what happened though.

At places like the appollo theres a chance, but with greenday they proberly wont. With most big places the coachs are parked in a fenced off bit so people dont get mobbed. I know that at the acadamy in manc that the buses arnt blocked off and they walk threw the mob. I dunno if this is the same where ever your going..

poprocks&coke 08-01-2005 04:55 PM

Bristol Apollo.

It's teeny weeny as well, so I'm thinking I could... :D


I'm trying not to get myself over-excited, but it's kinda hard.

Untitled 08-01-2005 04:58 PM

There is a chance then, just dont get to over exicited. But the chances of meeting them there then say the Manchester MEN or Birmingham NEC or whatever its called are a lot higher.

poprocks&coke 08-01-2005 05:01 PM

Yeah, plus the show is going to be awesome, 'cause I'm used to going to shows with a 10,000+ crowd, and the maximum capacity for the Apollo is something like 1,500

:D

Untitled 08-01-2005 05:02 PM

little shows are the best i think.

Oz Rembrandt 08-03-2005 12:24 PM

When I saw Dropikick Murphys at Northumbria uni, we saw them getting out the coach..

I hope I could meet the Trio, I think I'd die...

poprocks&coke 08-03-2005 05:14 PM

Haha, same...


I'd want a hug. I'd demand one. :p

HitHardDrums55 08-03-2005 09:36 PM

I love the duel vocals on the line "Trade in my Bike for a Shopping Cart"

HitHardDrums55 08-05-2005 09:58 AM

skiba and andriano usually do good when they do duel vocals, but i must agree that line is one of the ones that stands out the most with the duel vox.
