Anyone know where I can find the Original Ep with chris batstone on it? Even if it's just to listen to it and not download it I wanna hear the rest of the songs with Chris as the singer now.
@AJMcSpiffy2 Chris only sang on the original version of their first EP, a cover of "Rose Tint My World" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, "Gummi Bears", and a demo of "All the Nights." He was only in the band for about a year, when Tim Maurer, the original lead singer, came back. Tim left again in 2005.
I know there was a version of the origional LP with Chris Batstone as the singer, and I want it so badly. Not knock the other two, they're great singers in their own right, but Chris' voice was amazing and I want to hear his version of some more of their songs
@StuckeyMurdog tim something or other. left the band in 2006 i believe, he wanted a stable job to support his family. it was around the same time dallas (trombone player) was killed in a motorcycle accident
@StuckeyMurdog In this video it is Chris Batstone. He parted ways with the band citing creative differences, and Tim Mauer took over. Now the singer is Vince Walker, who in this video is the trumpet player with dark hair
when we first heard this song, we bought their album and then immediately thought they had ripped it off from someone else... this song rocks so hard and the rest of the songs on that album are shit
Good shit...not that i like emo or screamo but i would kill to see someone try and make "Ska-reamo"...screamo with upbeat jazzy trumpet...its gonna be huge for everyone
@Chaospanic87 first of all a billion ernies is great and they are indeed still a band (my band will play a show with them soon!). 2nd of all it seems as though you're describing the flaming tsunamis exactly. especially the song birdwatching tsunamis. they start with a jazz riff, go into screamo, and then just do absolutely everything they can possibly do in a song. check em out
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, I'm glad this "singer" didn't last.. What a wierd voice! And look at him in this video. He's like "Wow! I can't believe I'm the new lead singer! This is fun!" I'm glad I saw these guys once back in 2003 with the original lineup.. I was so blown away. I saw them just a few weeks ago and their show was weak! They just didn't have the same energy they used to have :(
@ramenich Yeah, the original "Suburban Legends" has it, they made three versions, one with him, one "Tim Remix" (with Tim singing) and one "Karaoke Special". Although I've never been able to find the original anywhere :(
Preaching to the choir. If I hadn't put that album on my PC the CD would be completely worn out. I prefer the high notes in Watch It Crash...more power from the horn and he holds it longer. CANNOT. WAIT. FOR. 99SoR.
@heytherebrah Yeah, the original (I think) singer DID sound a bit like MCBC. This is the version on the "Red" version of the Album. They rerecorded the vocals for the "Green" version (which also comes in orange".
I'm still a little miffed that both version were in my car when it got broken into. Oh well, at least I have the digital tracks...
