Yeah that'd certainly kill the Rockets for good. NBA thread though

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15957033]Hahaha, so apparently Matt Babel called Rody out on MuchOnDemand today during an interview (I missed it), saying how Rody said "Sand Ni GGer" in a video interview once and how that's not what a role model should do, and apparently Arif had to defend him. Sad I missed it.[/QUOTE]

Haha man you have to see this. It should be on the MoD site shortly.

Let's just say I was ****ing pissed when I saw this, as I saw the "sand n * gger" interview before this one. Matte Babel gave one of the worst interviews I've ever seen, and then follows it up by stating that he was "dissapointed" in Rody and how his fanbase must be offended by the fact that he called Arif a "sand n*gger" in an interview where he was CLEARLY joking. "Poochy the sand n * gger" was written on the wall behind him and he was just lightly making a reference to it. Why would any of Protest's fanbase give a **** about this when Rody makes an effort to be offensive all the time? This guy is a doofus and the statement was completely uncalled for.. He wanted to stand up for his beliefs and forced his opinions on the interview which was completely unprofessional.

At one point he even asked Rody if he knew about the "historical significance" of the term when he spoke it. Dude is ridiculous.

Haha, it was hilarious though when he asked Arif what his inspiration was for Fortress.. [I]"mushroom trips"[/I]

Oh man I can't wait to see the interview... although now it seems clear that Babel is both a tool AND a sanctimonious pile of poo.

Mushroom trips... Yes!

The clincher is that Arif has referred to himself as a "sand ******" on many many occasions. Matt Babel is just not cut out for that job; you don't call someone out, take it out of context and basically insult them in an interview where you're supposed to promote the band.

And, I mean, Rody always does that ****. He used to wear a "suck my black ****" shirt. He used to make pedophelic jokes on stage. He's equally offensive to everyone. Babel just took the bait.

What's worse is he makes the implication that Rody's a role model. To who? His entire goal is pissing people off.

I think I should send Arif a text that says "Sand ******" just to see what he says.

Of course, once your CD debuts at #1 in Canada, you become a role model and have to stop having fun.

Send the text!

I did.

My friend wrote up a really, really great article on them, hopefully it'll be online soon. The quotes are seriously great.

Looking forward to reading it...

I bet they're on stage now

Probably another hour I'd imagine.

Man I wish i went to the show tonight.. damn tickets sold out so fast. Is it Silverstein headlining the tour? I imagine they would, shame.

Finally Seq. Throne live

Yeah, Silverstein is the headliner.

Protest has still been playing a decent set, though. Ah well. They'll be back. Eventually... grumble grumble.

noice

Hah, I posted that. I figured it needed to be up on YouTube, even if it's the most awkward and unnecessary song they ever wrote.

Is that Arif?

Is who Arif?

I meant in that video - he just looks ridiculously different.

Oh, yeah it's Arif, hah. He's gone through a few looks -- when I first started seeing them, he looked like a really young Slash.

[QUOTE=As The Roots Undo;15958458]I meant in that video - he just looks ridiculously different.[/QUOTE]

Not really.. even still has the back-forward step and arm flailing thing goin' on.

3:17 in that video is awesome. Really shows how excellently both of those guitarists have improved since then.

Hah, yeah. I should dig out the **** of them from back in '03. Then you'd really put it in perspective, hah.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15958473]Hah, yeah. I should dig out the **** of them from back in '03. Then you'd really put it in perspective, hah.[/QUOTE]

Dude, definitely do it. I remember seeing an old(ish) video of them and Rody looked ****ing insane - I loved it.

I have to find it first. This is oooold though, like, really old. August 6th, 2003. I have one of Silent Genocide and I think These Colours, but I'm not sure. I have no idea where it is though. I have a full set of them playing pre-Kezia, when "Plateful of our Dead" was just "Kezia", hah.

The memories. :')

Might I add....your avatar is ****ing pimpin undo

thanks brah.

Hey, I posted a comment on one of those videos! And Rody replied!

I've been lurking this thread for weeks and when I read Coke's definition of 'hink' I thought I'd post it on youtube because I thought it was pretty funny:

[QUOTE=Cocaine, a few pages back]Nobody really knows what hink means. Probably Rody included[/QUOTE]

I had been trying to find out what the hell hink means, I figured it was Canadian slang so I was hoping a canuck would reply and set me straight. I was doing homework one afternoon when I got an email that TinyBite 86 had replied to my comment. I almost crapped a brick, I knew that was the account Rody used to post his video blogs, he said:

[QUOTE="Rody, on youtube"]it means "just kidding" but it's such a habbit, it concludes every sentance, joking or not.

Rody[/QUOTE]

There we have it, a working definition of hink.

Thanks for the Sequoia Throne vid post. I wanted to see that live.
