i think i can agree with mark here, over time you do change, maybe not personality but you get tired of writing the same shit about the same people or things, and as you grow up your attitude changes towards life.
@lovejessica5 i want to write down "the day we stop learning we're dead and buried already, cuz then it will be meaningless to stay alive". sounds like Matt Skiba lyrics. but you can keep em, i won't steal em.
Matt Skiba is a beautiful person. Feel free to argue, do whatever you want. No matter what kind of words are exchanged, it doesn't change the kind of person he is.
In this world, there are people. There are ugly people, there are people, and there are people who exhibit a beauty that seems to surpass all boundaries. A beauty that "strengthens over time". A beauty that We are all able to see if we merely open our eyes and are *willing* to see it.
this song wasnt supposed to be released and for those people that got it and listened to it thats awesome but i really dont think you should be putting it out there on youtube for just anyone i mean the trio didnt really want anyone hearing it to begin with not to say that i haven't downloaded it myself but i wouldn't upload it its the difference bewteen hearing a rumor and repeating it through a megaphone for everyone else that didnt get to hear about it
If you find the other upload of this, I believe there's a message from 'Julie' saying she hopes it can help other people by being available (paraphrase).
I fucking hate kids like you who just bitch and pine over a band making a product using their image. I bet $10 your favorite band did the same shit. And if you wanna bitch over someone making their own shoe. What's the fucking difference between a band making a shoe and a band making a fucking tshirt? One goes on your feet, one on your body. There is no difference, you're just fucking facetious little cunts. I'm sure if you were famous, and nike wanted to make your shoe. You'd do it too faggot.
@fdsdialup well, i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that nike uses child labor. I fucking hate the fact that nike uses child labor, but I love nike brand and I love the fact that shirts/shoes/pants/hoodies/jackets are usually pretty cheap.. but this comes at the cost of child labor. So should I boycott and not buy from nike? Well, I know it's the wrong attitude, but my purchases won't make much of a difference. In fact I have the nike 6.0 trios <3 oh well, alk3 was never political.
@fdsdialup I agree with you until you just drop the "faggot" bomb. Such a negative word and it does nothing to help your argument. It's very offensive.
They did the shoes for their FANS, us. And I'll be damned if I didn't scour the stores looking for their shoes when they came out. Like I'll do for absolutely anything Alkaline Trio ever decides to produce.
Who gives a shit if Alkaline Trio has their on shoe. I'm sick of kids like you, always bitching and whining like a fucking 12 year old girl who just hit her first period. Just because they wanted to own their own shoe doesn't break their integrity as a performance artist. Matt Skiba and Alkaline Trio are still great musicians. You're just some faggot kid on the internet who wants to bitch because someone did something cool like have Nike make their own shoe. $10 says your fav band did
if you had a friend or two at a shoe company who liked your music and message wouldnt you like to collaborate to make a shoe? even if kids do make very little to make those shoes it actually allows them to make something.... not justifying nike but at the same time unless if you have actually been able to prove that stuff and can give me some reliable info then just shut up
does this explain alkaline trio's change in sound?
possibly.. more like definitely, considering their music is based around emotions and feelings. I don't think they "sold out," i think matt's view on life in general has changed, resulting in a change or music... its been like 12 years since goddammit, right? If you stay the same person over the course of 12 years.. there is something very wrong with you.
@markthesteedreed I agree but i still miss there old sound and im not really a big fan of there CD at all but i still love them and its ture that people change...especaly over 12 years XD
Alk Trio will never go back to the Maybe Catch Fire Day's and certainly not back to GODDAMNIT. That's like trying to write a song about jr.high when ur now in college,
in my opinion, this song shouldn't go on A3's next album... this sounds more like maybe i'll catch fire, so unless they go back to the old style from that album, it would be out of place
on the other hand, i never really liked maybe i'll catch fire... A3 really had a good thing going with from here to infirmary, and almost as good a thing going in agony and irony
Dude, this song was written ages ago, and they played it at a funeral for their friend Julie, they never wanted it to be released but it got leaked and shit. They've actually said they'd rather people not hear and have this song. Maybe I'll Catch Fire was fucking amazing man!
Maybe I'll catch fire was amazing. As far as not wanting this song released, that was due to the wishes of Juile. She has since said she doesn't mind as long as its helps people appreciate their parents while their around.
i dunno what you're talking about "maybe i'll catch fire" beats "agony and irony" to the ground and takes a dump on it... but the next album is said to sound more DIY and more like "goddamnit", so you might have a huge disappointment son.
or i'll be wrong and just ignore anything they say ever again. :)
it's just that maybe i'll catch fire and goddamnit aren't really my style... they're a bit too slow paced and sad for my liking, while agony and irony, from here to infirmary and, to a lesser extent, good mourning, at least have a really catchy beat to go along with their whining... but thanks for passing off opinion as fact in an attempt to make my opinion look wrong... i appreciate it :)
Goddammit/Maybe I'll Catch Fire are too slow paced for you? Have you actually listened to these albums? Try Cringe, Cop, Nose Over Tail, As You Were, Message From Kathlene, for starters. Catch Fire is definitely slower than Goddammit, but try 5-3 10-4, She Took Him To The Lake, etc. I don't think you could call any of those songs "slow".
Personally I love all their stuff haha. I used to like Goddamnit the most and their newer stuff not so much, but I've learned to really appreciate and enjoy all of it. Can't wait for the new album, it'll be amazing no matter what it sounds like :D
I'm a huge alkaline trio fan, but i wouldn't say Skiba has a great voice/is a great singer. I'd say it's more he has the perfect voice for the types of lyrics he writes...
calm down everyone. i'm julie and i've tried to settle this dozens of times. i no longer mind if this song is shared, as someone below said "if this helped Julie, i'm sure it could ease the pain on many more broken hearts." take it for what it's worth and stop arguing with each other. please.
i think it should stay up. Alot of people can relate to this, and if this helped Julie, i'm sure it could ease the pain on many more broken hearts. Dealing with a loss of a parent is hard. I respect that this is a personal song, but it's been leaked now, and once it's been leaked, it's been leaked. So I say keep it up, for the greater good that this helping people.
Btw julie actually said when the song was first made that she didnt want to get out because then it would seem like it lost meaning to her. but a few months ago she actually told the story behind it and that it was for her when her father passed away. she said though that she is now fine with anyone hearing it and that it is in no way disrespectful to the band or her.
Finally some nice "highly voted comments" at the top.

guess life is just a popularity contest,

Just ask the candy-coated Joy-Cam rock-bands
