Re: All Time Low Video Blog - Follow Up to Selling Out

[ColorBlindRevolution]

nice job guys :)

[BBJ]

azn girl is hot.

[KourtniKitten]

You girls are amazing. I'm a complete opposite of you. In fact (I'm not into labels) but I'm considered "emo." I agree that I get upset when good bands start to get popular...it's frustrating..I've started to like two bands and BAM they're all over MTV. Those bands being said above; Boys Like Girls and newly Alesana. I keep hearing stuff about them trying to get voted for on MTV. It makes me feel just like the rest of the noobs who obsess and act like band know-it-alls. F-ck mainstream. Srsly.

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

Hey thanks for the support.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

My friends & I always seem to discover new bands & get into them before everyone else, but soon after they start being played on the radio & become mainstream.

It's so annoying, but there's nothing we can do about it.

[mrschneider88]

way to say like 32 times.

way to sound educated.

[pinoykid09]

not to be a dick but i had my volume on max and when i turned on the video i freaked out!!

[bluepaperplanes]

You both would die in a mosh pit against one other person ._.

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

I've been in mosh pits, circle pits, and walls of death. My entire ear nearly got ripped off during From First To Last. I've had too many crowdsurfers dropped on my head to count. I've gotten innumerable bruises and cuts. Yeah, think I would die in a pit against one other person?

[LindsayRiot]

dude, if your not from baltimore and your not a fan from the beginning then you have no worried about losing them give the kids a break. the charm city kids watched them grow up and got them to where they are now. omg lik like like chill like out.

[thepartyscene1]

Because like I like like totally like really like?

hm.

[Megzx123]

It sounds to me like you've watched all of the other responces and just copied what they'v said and compared them to fob like most other people.

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

I don't think we even mentioned Fall Out Boy.

[oXxpatdfanxXo]

Take a breath please, stop talking.

you sound like major n00bs btw.

:|

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

Thanks.

[itzxlucia]

dumbdumbdumb

girls like you make me hurrrl.

and yeah, you do sound selfish BTW

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

I realize that. I don't mean to be selfish. Really. And I apologize for any vomiting we induced.

[itzxlucia]

kay, i've honestly read your responses to other people's comments and i'm kinda sorry i was a bitch. it was a first reaction.

because, while people (like myself) are saying you guys are being selfish and dumb, we're being judgemental.

any all time low fan is a good fan, right?

[alltheragee]

FANGIRLS

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

I prefer the term groupie, thank you very much.

[oxTRAGiC]

wow

[skyyforcer26]

lmao

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

OMFG LMFAO ROFL LOL.

[skyyforcer26]

you are the two stupidest girls i have ever heard. i hope alex thinks you're idiots. it's fans like you they make me vom

[blackroseformylover]

yea dude i agree. ive been following atl for like two years and i love their albums, including punk goes acoustic, and so wrong its right.

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

Thanks for the support! =]

[thepartyscene1]

amen.

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

I've met Alex and I'm pretty sure he thinks we're alright. If you noticed, he gave this video a +7. And again, sorry if we made you blow chunks. Hope it didn't get all over your black T-shirt.

[blackroseformylover]

well if your a real fan of them why do you sound like you are so inexperienced. you sould like some noobs fresh off the bus. i'm a fan "like you" but im not ranting and raving. i appreciat their music and use it as an influence when im doing something strenuous. but i dont see why you deny your a prep. you use the word like so much. you also seem to dress like them. its people like you or how poeple like to act that piss me off. if your not prep, then stop acting it.

[xxnataliaa]

hahahaha oh wow you're pathetic, blackrose whatever. oh and by the way...

RYAN/ALEX/JACK/ZACH no way i named them all off the top of my head! lmfao get over yourself

[blackroseformylover]

same to you bitch.

[ughjayme]

it's spelled rian.

[xxnataliaa]

oh god shoot me for having a life and not googling up their names to make sure i spelled every single one right! jesus

[OmgItsAlli24]

if you had a life, you wouldnt be on youtube starting shit with people.

[OmgItsAlli24]

by the waay, my comment was to you xxnataliaa

[dropdeadallison]

way to sound selfish~

[anthrashera]

Okay these girls are so new fans

[blackroseformylover]

yea man. i have been following ATL for like 2 years. they are obviously new fans, cause i bet you they cant name all the members of the band. they just like they way they sound, or the way that TRL portrayed them. plus it sorta angers me that they think they know so much about the older fans of ATL. they are noobs and there is no denying it.

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

I'll name all the members of the band right now:

Alexander William Gaskarth- lead vocals and guitar

Jack Barakat- guitar

Zack Merrick- bass

Rian Dawson- drums

And I don't even watch MTV. I hate the damn thing.

[AllTimeAngelica]

I also know alot of preps who've started to like All Time Low. Them being some friends I know. They only know Dear Maria and Six Feet Under, and they say they LOVE All Time Low. That's what I'm scared of, preppy fans liking them for looks and only knowing like 3 songs. It's stupid. There are fans who've heard their whole album, and like them for talent AND looks/personality.

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

Okay I just wanna make this clear: I am NOT a prep. I would probably stab myself in the eye if I were. I went out & bought both Put Up Or Shut Up & So Wrong It's Right. Although Dear Maria & Six Feet are very good, there are other songs I like better. & I can play Remembering Sunday decently on guitar. I think we all agree that the boys are very attractive, but their personalities are what make me love them. & the fact that they were signed before they even graduated high school blows my mind.

[AllTimeAngelica]

oh don't worry, I didn't mean you.

[AllTimeAngelica]

I don't think All Time Low will sell out.

They're music has sort of changed since Put Up or Shut Up and their EP, but I still enjoy their music. They haven't changed in the inside though.

New fans to them is good. If they become total sellouts, like Fall Out Boy, then we have a problem. Because as you all know, FOB's old albums are WAAAAAAY better than their new one. That's a fact.

I'll be with ATL no matter what.

I just don't want preps to like them for looks. Thats my fear.

ILYATL!<3

[r0niiiiicAkes]

well i agree with you on the whole fall out boy thing.. i was in the 8t grade ithink whn they got big and all preps fell in love with them... but i definitly think that there 2nd cd is the best before they were discovered.. grnad theft autumn is my song..lol

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

Oh, did we talk about Fall Out Boy? My bad. I honestly don't recall. I haven't watched this video in a while. Yeah I liked Fall Out Boy in 8th grade but now I hate them. I actually thought From Under The Cork Tree was really good.

[AllTimeAngelica]

I liked take this to your grave the best :P

[mhvmkris]

i know it sucks when your best kept secret isn't a secret anymore. and after being with a band for so long after, and everyone jumps on the band wagon acting like there brand new, is frustrating. but look at it from ATL's perpective. being in a band i know how every effort u make is to make sure your music gets heard. don't ever forget why u started listening to them. and if u really love ATL be happy for them because it's everything that've ever wanted.

[click5MOBgirl]

can we stop talking about boys like girls, this is a freaking all time low video !

like seriously... omg like! lmao

and enough with the stupid comments about your dress code, no one cares!

this is why we don't want them on mtv, cause preppy scholl kids like this!

[xokatharineeox]

if stupid people focused on other things other than our dress code, then it wouldn't be necessary for me to post that.

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

Exactly. Thank you, Katharine. =]

[DevinWouldUturnMeOn]

boys like girls was on every commercial break because they were artist of the week.

[vipwhips]

boys like girls suck

[xxnataliaa]

a) we go to a PREP SCHOOL where collard shirts are REQUIRED. trust me, if we had a choice, we would not be wearing that

b) we're not trying to be selfish or hide the band...but at the same time, watching more and more people learn about them is frustrating, like some people said below

c) THERE IS NO BLACK WRISTBAND. nobody is trying to look hardcore or "gain credibility"

[dancergurl9329]

ya i dont like boys like girls.

they are awful live.

all time low is so much better

i dont think theyll sell it.

[nexsus242]

I didnt know that someone could say like so many time :O.

[frankiezgirl]

oh and also, boys like girls was on mtv for like every commercial because they were the artist of the week.

[frankiezgirl]

i think watching this made me lose brain cells...that girl said like about a million times. -,-

[miakoolbeans]

Stop being so selfish and hatin' on new fans, they like the music too. Who cares if you've known about them for longer. No one gives a shit. If you like the same music, thats great. DON'T BE HATINNNN

[miakoolbeans]

dude please, are you serious? no band wants to stay in their garage their whole life. They play the music they want and love. its not selling out. And boys like girls, even though i dont particularly enjoy these bands music, its still awesome that they got huge, and that theyre commercial is playing every 2 minutes. Do you know how many more people will see that? Alot. That's the point.

[miakoolbeans]

LiKe nO WaY I WaNnA HVe tHe bAnD AlL To mY LiKe sElF, iM ToO sElFiSh tO Be hApPy fOr tHeIr sUcCeSs lIkE SiGn mY ShIrT.

[Cue12]

EXACTLY!

[ewitskyy2]

you're matching .

[xxtheused180]

thats how i feel too.

but you cant stop people from finding out about them.

but i totally know what your saying.

[2girls1cupme]

word up

[eightxlegend]

..I'd have to agree with them on this..

Sure they mad TRL. Great. But so what? One of the reasons why I like them is because they aren't mainstream. Don't get me wrong, Boys Like Girls is gradually going mainstream, but I still like them. I just don't like how just because ONE song is good, they get loads of new fans. Those fans need to shut the fuck up and get the fuck out. Band wagons are gay.

[whitterxcritter]

not saying thats what you are or anything... you guys seem cool...

[whitterxcritter]

i hate how this band is loved by preps now...

[whitterxcritter]

oops... that came out wierd...

[blakeschickenshack]

werd.

keep it real.

[maggieNYU]

yeah, these girls are so preppy. it's really bizarre. one of them has a black wristband as if that makes her a little more hardcore.

but honestly? let's get over it, ATL appeals to people who like rock, but they appeal to those who like pop music too - no need for the black wristband to enhance credibility when you don't have any to begin with...

[whitterxcritter]

ya but they have good music taste but it doesnt matter if there style doesnt really match there music choice...

[xoxohillariousxoxo]

I'm definitely not a prep

Even if I do say "like" a lot

It's a habit

We go to a prep school where we have to wear collared shirts

It's the dress code

And I don't think either one of us is wearing a "black wristband"

Maybe you're talking about the laptop case strap?

[whitterxcritter]

ya i am so sorry that post just came out horrible you seem really cool and you like ATL low so you definatly have good music taste i say like ALL the time to... i didnt mean it that way

[xxnataliaa]

we're not preppy actually, that just happens to be our dress code. and nobody is wearing a black wristband anywhere in that video.

we like rock, so i have no idea what you're talking about. and even though i am not wearing a black wristband, if i was, it would be because i felt like it, not because im trying to "enhance credibility"

[xamster20]

and im like yeah the new one that came out a year ago...I just get frustrated when I know bands before they get popular cause I kind of think of the band as my own...and when other people start to listen to them and are like oh my gosh i love them so much i just wanna be like yeah where were you when their first album came out... But then I realize that I just need to be happy that their getting bigger and known and get over the fact that I cant be the only one that listens to them anymore...

[xamster20]

I understand how certain people think bands are selling out...but they just get it confused with becoming known...cause I know that I get so freaking angry when people come up to me and their all have you heard that new song from ATL...and im like yeah the new one that came out a year ago...I just get frustrated when I know bands before they get popular cause I kind of think of the band as my own...

[xXDrVanillaXx]

nice rack

[kayyfresh]

i know how you get that you don't want to share them, because you don't i guess, want to "loose" them in a sense, but really everyone has their opinion on bands and some people just find out about them a little later than most.

btww, there's like a "band of the week" kind of thing on MTV where bands (because they want to promote themselves) do like their own remixed commercials (:

[itsonlytysen]

...

[alexATL]

Thanks for the reply. I understand where you're coming from with your reply, but unfortunately the idea of this band isn't to keep it a secret. We want to show our music to the world, you know? Is that wrong?

[PoppingChampagne]

It's wrong when you start to change too much and you lose fans. But do what you want to do, you're fans are you fans what you choose to do is in your control.

[gvilla222]

exactly alex its like if you like atl so much then why do you not wish them success like just cause there getting reconized like its not gunna change their music

[PoppingChampagne]

it might change their music , that's the point about them losing their fans.

[gvilla222]

u might think that but atl is as real as you get they wont change cause there nice guys and arent jerks and the only reason to change music is for money and there still living with there parents arent arent embarassed so i dunno

[whitterxcritter]

it is only wrong when you change your music to what the fans want to hear not if you just get popular for playing the music you like to play :)
