I wish my brother George was here.

[QUOTE=Sid]Hell yes! Anarchists that threaten DIY labels with the court system. That's so anarchy it hurts. Take down the forum making fun of us! Free expression is NOT anarchy!

I haven't ever called them sellouts nor does the sire thing bother me in the slightest bit. In fact, legal action threats and taking Crime off PIX is the only thing that bothers me about this band.

EDIT: By the way, the good people at PIX do progressive things. How would AM! suing them help with it?[/QUOTE]

So why wasn't this the issue at first? I don't follow bands bios, so I didn't know any of this, but people are screaming "sell out" just because they signed to a major. You're the first one that I saw bring up this whole lawsuit issue

The major label thing is more well known to people who aren't huge fans then the fact they tired to sue PIX over that (hell I didn't know about that) and Sid takes more issue in the suit then the 'selling out' since after the suit he had already lost any respect he had for them (and he had a lot, I think he was one of the bigger fans on the board)

I got my ticket for the melbourne show!!! It should be interesting to see how many people show up compared to last time...

TakeWarning 12-27-2005 08:10 AM

How many people showed last time?

I wonder how many people will show up to the Perth show, I have absolutely no idea.

It makes me sad listenign to the lyrics of "Reinventing Axl Rose", they contradicted themselves so much.

Oh well, i still love them, i got the acoustic Ep the other day, it's incredible !

When I listen to Turn Those Clapping Hands Into Angry Balled Fists I get pretty angry. I don't know why, I guess because that song is about the punk scene in general, and it just pisses me off.

CameoRole 12-27-2005 12:24 PM

What other songs are there about a tight nit scene where money ain't an issue like Reinventing? I mean, there are so few good songs that aren't cliche. Rise Above is kinda like that, but not as heartfelt, ya know? We were born, with a cause. That line gets me everytime. Our arenas are just basements and bookstores. I mean ****, that's genius.

Hey, this made me feel better:

Henrik 12-27-2005 01:53 PM

Wow, That sounds awesome.


I have a question:
On [url]www.interpunk.com[/url] there are two versions of crime. A new re-issued one that says it's digipack. The new one is definitely just the new sabot production. But if I buy the old one, will it then contain burn burn burn?
Have anyone ordered their crime on interpunk???

CameoRole 12-27-2005 01:54 PM

Just buy it from PIX.

stfu, im just posting that the fame/money hasn't ruined them completley.

:rolleyes:

I bought Reinventing Axl Rose yesterday (sort of unrelated to anything else on this page). I was surprised at how much better than As The Eternal Cowboy it is.

That's what we've all been saying all along!

Cowboy is still good though.

Hmm, I always thought that song was really just about how Tom is just unhappy with his life etc. I never really thought it was about the punk scene at all. You mean the "I hate these songs" part?

Angry Balled Fists! 12-28-2005 03:39 AM

I haven't noticed it either.

Not sure, put it was packed, but at the arthouse, (where they are playing) its kinda divided into two rooms, and the second room has a pool table and a juke box, but the firt "main" room if you will was packed, but it was great cos it had such a good atmosphere, so many people were into it, but since last time, their popularity has increased a lot, so it should be interesting.

Henrik 12-28-2005 04:10 AM

[QUOTE=CameoRole]Just buy it from PIX.[/QUOTE]

I have tried to contact them, but the progress is slow. I can't pay online and since I live in Denmark it's complicated for me to pay.
Maybe I'll get the old one if I order from no idea.

EDIT: Why do people still talk about the lawsuiting thing? In this letter it says that therewas no threat of legal action.

Who knows.

I might buy the digi pack version, even thouhg i love Burn Burn Burn.

Because it was still a [size=2]c[/size]unt of a thing to do. I was just listening to searching for a former clarity, and i think I have found the worst against me lyrics ever :
Gotta make your money while you got the chance,
do whatever it takes to sell it.

And to me I think he might even mean it, its from Unprotected Sex With Multiple Partners for those who didn't know. How you guys interperet this song???

Angry Balled Fists! 12-28-2005 04:34 AM

It's irony i reckon.

Henrik 12-28-2005 04:46 AM

Yeahh. I don't think he means it.

CameoRole 12-28-2005 04:46 AM

I think he doesn't want to be poor and I think he realizes he can make some money now and it's hightime to cash in some.

TakeWarning 12-28-2005 04:48 AM

I'm so over the selloutz thing. I don't really care that much anymore.

rawdog 12-28-2005 04:52 AM

I care, I just don't know weather to take the stance of, meh, their band, do what they want. Or play the angry fan, I mean, Im kinda doing both at the moment, maybe leaning towards angry fan, but I'll see how their show goes, if they come out after, and are nice, and all that jazz....... im ghey

TakeWarning 12-28-2005 04:54 AM

I cared at first, but now I'm like so totally over it.

Angry Balled Fists! 12-28-2005 05:51 AM

Same, i couldn't care less tbh, i love their music, if i was in their position, i would want to make money.

I'm not really sure what I make of that song. It really sounds like a "Shut the f[size="2"]uc[/size]k up until you've been in our position."
