Oh, so Hatebreed are DIY?

I don't think so man.

D[size=2]A[/size]MNIT! I missed the straight edge thread. Also I happened to be listening to Earth Crisis as I noticed it.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Since you and the village idiot like these hypothetical questions, let's use one:

If you were in a hardcore band would you rather keep your depressing day job at the Olive Garden while practicing at night and have you band probably break up in 3 and a half months due to inadequate funding or get "signed" and be able to tour all over the US and produce a full length CD in a studio beyond an mbox and a G3?

Exactly. What's wrong with money? You're still DIY because you're making the music and putting in the time yourself but you're smart enough to focus on your music instead of trying to maintain some imaginary form of integrity.[/QUOTE]

I don't know about tornpictures, but i'm liking the signing idea. :rolleyes:

Sure, let's give credit to the bands who do it themselves, doing every little bit themselves, but the ones who are signed are getting heard more than those bands that are at home pressing 100 albums every week.

I don't think so man.[/QUOTE]Did we mention Hatebreed. No we didn't.

There's nothing wrong with making money. Money makes the world go round...oh yeah, and it keeps bands playing music; venues holding shows; and labels distributing. The things I just mentioned are priority. After that you have profit, you know, the stuff that buys your groceries; clothes; admission to shows.

You must be new to handling money so I'll give you a break.

i'm really really digging the righteous jams record. It's got a nice groove to it, reminds me of Black Flag

WTF is wrong with you, you always bring up stuff that has nothing to do with the topic.
First your saying im calling indie, emo, now your saying he said hatebreed are DIY?

And to the whole Hatebreed thing, Dfelon was saying you can still be on a label and think for yourself. DIY has nothing to do with money. DIY is taking nothing and making something out of it. Music is DIY.

I live my life by Shane's words.

Have you been straight edge your whole life?

[QUOTE=noneed66]Have you been straight edge your whole life?[/QUOTE]
I have except for one time I drank like a year ago

Nope, Sometime after New Years of freshman year I became edge. I'm a Junior now.

I dare someone go to a Throwdown show and start smoking right in front of them

[QUOTE=noneed66]Have you been straight edge your whole life?[/QUOTE]That, my friend, would be impossible.

[QUOTE=Gotkookie]I dare someone go to a Throwdown show and start smoking right in front of them[/QUOTE]...there's a picture of their bassist holding a beer. I'm positive they have sold out and are slowing breaking away from the whole edge outlook on the band.

Plus Throwdown are tiny wusses.

They should fight me. They're playing on Wensday, but I don't have the cash to go see them.

There has been some shady doing's with them and the edge.

[QUOTE=shane italian]That, my friend, would be impossible.[/QUOTE]

That could be done. Im not edge but alot of my friends are and its cool.

I'm coming.

[QUOTE=noneed66]That could be done. Im not edge but alot of my friends are and its cool.[/QUOTE]No, you have to claim. Edge isn't a set of rules about drugs and alcohol. It's a positive outlook and mindset.

So its about your whole lifestyle, what are some good edge bands besides minor threat.

ten yard fight
good clean fun

[QUOTE=noneed66]I didnt know refused was edge[/QUOTE]Yup, one of the contributing factors as to why they broke up was a couple members were starting to loose the edge and Dennis didn't like that. What it mainly was, was that Dennis was separated from the group he felt.

[QUOTE=NewKindofArmy03]ten yard fight
