Eclectic: Eclectic Is Back Baby!!!

Eclectic 12.23.09	Couple of things. 1. Changing the lineup has done little to change the sound of the band. That's not saying that the other two are just there to play a set of notes and make the band a "trio", they both performed excellently with outstanding solos and huge smiles on their faces the whole time, they're not just replacements. 2. Favourite song of the night is hard to pick, they were all so good, but I'd have to go with either "Company Sin" or "Close To You". The latter was headbang worthy, not kidding, it was seriously fucking good.
Observer 12.23.09	Welcome back! Never listened to these guys.
CrackTheSkye 12.23.09	Welcome back. Looked like a sweet concert from the set list. @ Observer you need to fix that. They're an amazing band.
Eclectic 12.23.09	Youtube "Betterman" its awesome stuff
BallsToTheWall 12.23.09	Dreamsoffew banned WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eclectic 12.23.09	That's what it says in the forums, her username has a line through it and it has the word "banned" underneath it
Deviant. 12.23.09	Yeah I need to check out some JBT. Mel's ban lifts today, and by today I mean NZ time.
Eclectic 12.23.09	As above, youtube "Betterman" Ahh, cool, thanks Deviant. Any idea why she got banned?
Deviant. 12.23.09	http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=34012 None of the mods have posted about it but i'm assuming it's this: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=34012 Whereismymind was banned as well. Begins on page 2
Deviant. 12.23.09	Don't ask me why I put the link in twice lol
Bandido 12.23.09	Thats an awesome setlist. I had a chance to see these guys with G Love and skipped it. I regret it now
Foxhound 12.23.09	I was wondering why Dreamsoffew got banned too.?
Phil 12.23.09	One Way Road is their new song, yes? How is it if it is?
Eclectic 12.23.09	One Way Road is good, its the same stuff you've heard from him on the last two albums, so it doesn't throw a huge punch, but its still great.
Eclectic 12.23.09	That ban is complete bull shit, she didn't do anything for fucksakes. AtavanHalen has done things 100x worse than that and the mods didn't give it a second glance
Foxhound 12.23.09	"she didn't do anything" she must have done something even if it didn't warrant a ban.
Eclectic 12.23.09	She insulted him legitimately, he was a complete dick to her and she stood up for herself.
Foxhound 12.23.09	wow that sucks I guess, I've seen awful things said on here and no bans issued.
ameypv 12.23.09	Dreamsoffew banned WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf!
DiceMan 12.23.09	Seriously? Who did she insult?
Eclectic 12.24.09	Bloody "Whereismymind" who went and bitched about it to the mods
BrandNewBoognish 12.24.09	Sputnik's resident female is gone, time to get rid of the tissues guys
Foxhound 12.24.09	Females on the internet= drama Guys pretending to be females on the internet= more drama
Eclectic 12.24.09	The only difference her gender has made is that of how many people care, not how much they care. I would feel exactly the same way if Atavan were to be banned in such a manner.
DiceMan 12.24.09	But he's terrible... His reviews suck and his opinions suck.
Eclectic 12.24.09	His reviews don't suck, I enjoy them quite a bit. I admit his opinions can lean towards "sucky", couple that with the fact that he can be an asshole when you disagree with him (though, that's usually because the person is an idiot) and I see where you're coming from. Nevertheless, he is a decent bloke and a good friend to have.
Douglas 12.24.09	Hey welcome back! One Way Road I reckon is the best thing JBT have done to date. Song rocks.
DiceMan 12.24.09	Naa. I still hate his reviews.
Eclectic 12.24.09	eh, each to his own One Way Road was an awesome closer, his vocal skill in it was great.
Deviant. 12.24.09	Forgot to say welcome back. I'm gonna d/l some JBT tonight, should make for a nice xmas present haha.
Eclectic 12.24.09	Haha, which album do you want to get?
Deviant. 12.24.09	Might just d/l a discog and spend the next couple of days wading through it.
Eclectic 12.24.09	Awesome, as of 5 seconds ago I just finished downloading Three. Should be a great listen.
Phil 12.24.09	I saw the film clip to One Way Road. It didn't really interest me a great deal. Then again, I haven't been highly interested in JBT for the most part.
Eclectic 12.24.09	Yeah, he does have better though
Dreamsoffew 12.24.09	Boo!
Douglas 12.24.09	One Way Road rules.
Dreamsoffew 12.24.09	It's 12:01 here in NZ so, Merry Christmas Fuckers!
Jim 12.24.09	i was in NZ two days ago. nice countryside got there.
Dreamsoffew 12.24.09	Whereabouts were you?
Jim 12.24.09	north island. drove down around the east coast from auckland and back up through rotorua. everyone's all friendly it's weird.
Dreamsoffew 12.24.09	I live in Auckland! Friendly in a creepy way or in a good way?
Jim 12.24.09	just in an unexpectedly courteous way. i'm just so used to everyone being arseholes in melbourne (particularly on the roads) that it kinda blew my mind. i've been over the tasman a few times when i was a kid, but my girlfriend has never been so we took ten days off and flew over. lovely shit.
Dreamsoffew 12.24.09	Well good to know that we're still all a courteous lot! Glad you enjoyed the trip as well :)
Eclectic 12.24.09	Dougie, of course it rules, but like I said, he has better
Dreamsoffew 12.26.09	Hold up. You make a list mentioning me in the description, I travel all the way back from banned land and I don't even get a hello from you?? What's going on Michael?
Eclectic 12.26.09	lol, it slipped my mind as soon as you put "boo" as your first comment How are you?
Dreamsoffew 12.26.09	Well what better way to return that with something as unexpected as that. I'm good, i'm full too! Damn christmas food lol. Whatever you do, don't get banned.
Eclectic 12.26.09	haha, true. Lol, my christmas dinner was a bowl of potatoes, delicious potatoes, but nevertheless, lol. Hahaha, was it that hard to stay away or something?
Dreamsoffew 12.26.09	No, it's just a dark and scary place they send you too. You were eating spuds? Right now i'm working on a bowl of ambrosia, so good.
Eclectic 12.26.09	wow, lol, not such a fun experience shivers lol, yep, like I said, they were nice as, an old family recipe. Hahaha, nice.
Dreamsoffew 12.26.09	How was the trip? Aside from John Butler awesomeness.
Eclectic 12.26.09	Its been great, its been pretty relaxing so far, just a few occasions where I've had to get off my arse and do something, lol. Hahahahahaha, my relatives in Goulburn (all 3 of them) think Goulburn is my home. My relatives in Perth (all 20 of them) know Perth is my home.
Dreamsoffew 12.26.09	Have you given any reason as to why your rellies in Goulbourn think that you're setting up digs there?
Eclectic 12.26.09	Because I've been living there for the past two years. I've stated specifically that I hate Goulburn, I just can't move permanently back to Perth, not yet anyway. Mother dearest sent me a "Goulburn Is Awesome" t-shirt for my birthday :/
Dreamsoffew 12.26.09	Ugh, at least you'll be a fashion icon!
Eclectic 12.26.09	bahaha, I refuse to wear that shirt
Dreamsoffew 12.26.09	Wear it with suspenders and a bowler hat, it'll be real trendy I promise.
Eclectic 12.26.09	But I'd be lying to everyone I met, and I don't want to do that
Dreamsoffew 12.27.09	She won't know if you don't wear it though right?
Eclectic 12.28.09	I talked to her about it, she said she didn't expect me to wear it. Note that she said that with a distinct tone of disappointment in her voice.
Dreamsoffew 12.28.09	It's worse when they don't say it, but you still know. And they know that you know too. They're crafty ones.
Eclectic 12.28.09	You never hate your parents. You love them to bits (I wouldn't be talking to you if she hadn't have bought me this laptop and computer for Christmas) but its the little things that piss you off. Like the T-shirt, like the hiding the disappointment, like the fact that she (and my brother) think Goulburn is my home.
Dreamsoffew 12.28.09	Would it be so hard to let them go on thinking that though, for their own happiness.
Eclectic 12.28.09	I don't like lying to people, it sits on my conscience. Also, I'd rather not string her along only to tell her that she was wrong (which I'll have to do). Better to tell her now and not later, as the heartache will be worse if I leave it.
