i went to the show in orlando. it was sold out and amazing. <3

HitHardDrums55 07-31-2005 10:42 PM

of course it was amazing

derek can crack his snare drum head, keep jammin on hi hats and kick with dan playin bass and switch snare drums with one hand while matt talks to the crowd and then finish up the song...quite amazing i dont really know many bands who could pull that off...

Jeenuh 08-01-2005 03:50 AM

My brothers favorite band, I really liked them for a while but I've kind of abandoned them since. :/

punkerdan 08-01-2005 09:04 AM

God****it is the best cd ever made

Bad Blood 08-01-2005 11:06 AM

Hmm i like it but i wouldn't say it's the best album made. Good Mourning is better.

[QUOTE=Bad Blood]Hmm i like it but i wouldn't say it's the best album made. Good Mourning is better.[/QUOTE]

Nah.

From Here to Infirmary is my favourite album, closley followed by Goddammit and Maybe I'll catch Fire, then s/t, then Good Mourning, then Crimson.

They're all bloody good albums though.

Bad Blood 08-01-2005 11:52 AM

I think Crimson is awesome.

The order for me would be Good Mourning, From here to infirmary, Crimson, God dammit, Maybe i'll catch fire.

I haven't heard S/t yet, i might buy it next time im in town.

Angry Balled Fists! 08-01-2005 11:52 AM

Good Mourning is my favourite without a doubt.

Goddammit is their weakest.

Bad Blood 08-01-2005 11:58 AM

I used to hate From Here To Infirmary, i love it now.

God dammit has the worst recording quality i think. The songs are still good though.

Let's Chop Cats! 08-01-2005 12:20 PM

Godda[i][b][/i][/b]mnit! is amazing. Their weaker albums are the newer ones. FHTI is their best me thinks.

Oz Rembrandt 08-01-2005 12:25 PM

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

:eek:

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!
