@Phishman77 what do you expect? this is from like 80 years ago. they didn't have good sound quality on video cameras back then. especially shitty camcorders like that. i don't care how shitty it is. its just awesome to see them so young. shut your jaw.
How are they a "product of the music machine"? I'm sorry Alkaline Trio has earned a lot of publicity and success, but that doesn't take away from the genuinely fantastic music they make.
@RussieSkies You lose that raw sound more often than not when you get better gear. This was basically a guitar straight into the amp, now he's got a nice sized amp/rack setup going.
I wish this band was still good, Ive been listening to S/T almost every day recently because i lost my ipod and its the only tape i have that plays in my car, but god were those last two albums awful, seriously, god awful.
Appreciation is a good thing. I knew skiba in high school. We were friends. I shit on all of my friends, now they are gone. I still see him from time to time but its different now. Don't be an Asshole you might get what you think you want and be alone.
yeah...they came to austin recently...opened with calling all skeletons (which was predictable) but continued oldies back to back before taking a break...
ive been into alkaline trio since i was in 6th grade (graduated now) and that show was really intense...and crazy. you can tell a lot of old school fans were rulin that pit...
from here to the infirmary was the last decent album. honestly theyre shit blows now. crowd-pleasing bull shit for the kids. these songs. are timeless. you can forget the new shit after you listen to it admit it.
Yeah there oldies are classics, i just went to one of there shows last night and its actually the older songs that are the crowd pleasing ones. When they would play songs from there older albums the crowd would go nuts. They still put on a hell of a show.
i stopped listening after good mourning. Crimson was OK. The newest one makes me sad. Alkaline was one of my favorite bands ever. this song is kick ass.
sawgaw... you are a fucking idiot... bands evolve... they adjusted their lyrical content because their lifestyles changed... when a band gets on the scene, and they have a sound that people like... they either continue to produce that exact sound until people get tired of it, or they reinvent themselves... stop being a closedminded fuck
any alkaline trio after 2002 is awful. this song is great.. amazing how sobriety made his songs worse and too cheezy...i guess I see them more like folk artists than "punk" idols, lyrical content has been so bad since 2003.
Yea I don't think so...I was at the show...Mike Felumlee is the drummer on this tape and he was there from late 99 to 2001...and the self titled album came out in 2000...Jackass
yeah mike felumlee wasnt the drummer in 97. this was totally the 2000 show at the fireside. i should know, mikes my boyfriend. hahaha. corey shaw dont know shit
This band speaks the truth.
