hey check out our RBF cover of I want your girlfriend and our own skapunk song 'Do your own thing' (don't wonder it's a special SKArry Potter version =P ) with that nice stereo love melody!
They exist for 20 years and finally I'm going to see them (o2 february) and I kick everyone who won't dance!!!! Singing while hugging your girlfriend is not an option if they kick ass we should do it to show the appreciation!!!!!
@DeathcoreDubstep deathcoredubstep?? HHOOOO!!!!! I've got a video for you if you like that music. its on my alternate account: fryestudios. the video is deathmetal succks. someone in the comments said my "singing" represents deathcore more.
@hemicuda93 i know!! :p at least he left without getting in a fight with the other members lol, maybe he will come back one day, you never know! :D is Aaron ok though? i heard he has been in and out of the hospital recently :/
i like the fact that out of every video i have ever seen on youtube, this was the first video with over a thousand views i've seen with not a single dislike! RBF FTW!!!!!!
@77sallysayshi77 Because I've seen them live several times, first in 1997. The were good then. Everytime I saw them, they were worse, and worse. Not to mention that they had to sign with Jive Records just so they could get on the Warped Tour. Because even they didn't want them. And the Warped Tour has sucked for the last 8 or 9 years itself.
@thewackyretard You really didn't answer his question he asked why you thought they were bad and you gave the most ignorant reasoning you could. The music is still good, stage presence is quite good. So how do they suck? And saying because they signed to a record company isn't a reason especially since they aren't a part of that record company anymore
@thewackyretard They signed with Jive Records because they bought Mojo Records (the Fish's label for TtRO and WDTRSH?), not anything about the Warped Tour (especially since they were on Warped in either 98 or 99, and Jive bought Mojo in 2000, if I recall.
Plus, I've heard live audio from the early shows. You've definitely got nostalgia goggles, because their live show was awful back then. They're much better instrumentalists and musicians now then they were then.
@RBFLIC Hardly. Haven't you noticed that they rarely cuss anymore? It's because of the "not so hip," Jive Records. And the Warped Tour did't want them. They had a choice to leave the label. But. They were promised The Warped Tour, so they stayed because they're a bunch of sell-out pussies.
@thewackyretard Rarely cuss? Is this 2002 and Cheer Up! just came out? Have you listened to their two most recent records? We're Not Happy... is full of cursing (angry cursing, too) and Monkeys for Nothing has an entire song devoted to their beloved "f-word"
And can you read? Warped was BEFORE Jive Records. And even then...they didn't have a CHANCE to leave. They were happy when they were dropped from the label after years of BEGGING to be.
@thewackyretard By the way, I'm the same guy as RBFLIC, I just didn't really feel like switching accounts. But really, how were they "sell outs" for being on Jive and playing Warped, when they're now an independent band...and still fucking playing Warped?
Also, Reel Big Fish were "sell outs" when they first signed to Mojo. I'm sure they made it pretty clear when they wrote that song about it on their major label debut. What was that song called again...? I heard it was a hit on the radio.
@thewackyretard Really? Calling a ska band sell outs is ignorant. In '96 maybe, but since selling out is playing what the record company wants you to play(and record companies want money.) I'm not dissing ska or anything because I love it, I play in a ska band myself. But if you play ska chances are you aren't in it for the money or fame. It isn't popular enough for that.
@thewackyretard Considering the fact they could easily lose the brass and play punk, which would earn them a lot more money I kinda doubt that sincerely. And I'm sure they know this considering their songs that aren't ska are actually very popular.
@thewackyretard If RBF were in it for the money, they would've quit back when We're Not Happy tanked instead of begging to be released from the label and continuing to produce albums that continue to underperform compared to previous albums.
@thewackyretard Do you have a job? Do you work for free? Music is their job, and they need to get paid, you moron. Ticket sales is pretty much their income.
And they do give away music. It's called piracy, which they openly encourage. Plus, they posted a link to one of my (RBFLIC's) videos on their Facebook. Realize that these videos are ripped and uploaded totally illegally.
@ShadowEl They could give away their music, and play free shows and still make money off of merchandise, you moron. It doesn't change the fact that they're a mediocre ska band with shitty songs.
@thewackyretard Their albums are part of their merchandise, you idiot.
But seriously, you think merch sales are going to pay the bills for six people? Not likely.
And now you're changing your whole argument because all your points were defeated. "While they may not be in it for the money, and they may not be sell-outs, and their live show was really shitty in 1997 compared to now...well, they suck! They just plain suck!"
@ShadowEl No you idiot! Merchandise is hats, shirts, stickers..., I know that cds are part of what they make...but they make more off of that shit. Dumbass. Yeah...you defeated my points. The only thing you defeated what your chance at ever getting laid, pussy.
@ShadowEl No, you idiot. CDs are not the most frequently bought thing, and they haven't been for a long time. It's called the internet. People mostly download song and albums nowadays.
@thewackyretard I never said physically bought. Albums (physical or otherwise) are a band's top merchandise, the rest of the stuff is bonuses for people who are fans. In RBF's case, people are so much more likely to buy their music than a T-shirt or skull cap or whatever.
How old are you, dude? You seem to have no idea how the world really works. I'm betting 13 or 14. If you're over the age of 18, I'll be shocked. Have you ever been in a band? Do you know what it's like to be in a band?
@ShadowEl Oh, so you meant mentally bought? You're a dumbass.
I've been in several bands, have played mini-tours (anywhere from 5 - 11 cities), and have had radio play. I don't know how things work? Sorry bucko, but I know exactly how it words.
@thewackyretard Albums can be bought two ways: physically or digitally. Now I know you're a troll because you clearly don't know how the business end of the whole thing works.
@thewackyretard Not really. You don't physically have the album (Can you touch the disc? Do you open the jewel case/digipak/whatever? Can you read the album art? Liner notes?), nor do you pay with physical money. Digital=/=physical.
@ShadowEl Now you're just reaching. No, you don't have to physically open a wrapper. But you physically have to pay for it, you physically have to manipulate your computer to complete the actions required to make the purchase online. Dumbass.
@thewackyretard There's a distinction between an album you buy online in a store, and an album you buy with cash at the record store. The distinction is made by the terms "digital" and "physical." It's not my phrasing distinction, it's one that has already been established that I am now dictating to you. So much for trying to educate the uneducated. You can't teach the unteachable, I guess.
@thewackyretard ending a comment with an insult is a sign of being a complete prick... please, you're annoying me. what is meant by the term "physical copy" is something that you can hold... you can't hold a download.. but I have a sneaking suspicion you'll reply with "But I can hold my hard drive.." If you do think this then you're more stupid than what you have come across as in your previous comments
@mrdarrencottam Well, Mr. Darren Cottam, nice name. That fact is no matter how they conducted themselves in the past, they're now only in it for the money. If you're going to take the time and use proper punctuation, then how about taking the time to capatilize when the sentence calls for it?
@thewackyretard I was just quite clearly pointing out the meaning of "physical copy" and how you should be more polite whilst commenting on the internet.
@thewackyretard i cant, but my point is u shouldnt claim that they only want the money if u cant prove it... personally i believe they're not, but i dont have proof so im not gunna argue that they're not...
@thewackyretard I've done the same thing bro. Been in several bands myself and I will say you are 100% right. Musicians and fans (the non-musician ones) couldn't be more different in this aspect. The industry is a very fickle business.
So weird watching newer live videos, they still sound just as awesome but goddamn I haven't seen them since Matt Wong was in the band... hahaha

@thewackyretard I'm pretty sure they make more from concert tickets than CD and other merchandise combined.

I also get laid rather frequently.
