Haha Carson, you're an idiot. Should probably do some research before you make these ignorant comments. Try searching in google for them, see what comes up. Then get back to us, but then again, we really don't care what you think. Haha you jackass

[HJCarson]

I notice that my original comment was removed, so current readers don't even know what we're talking about. Maybe you're right about their fans not being normal. Or at least not being adults who can brook a difference of opinion.

I'm glad you're a fan. Music is a powerful tonic. It's just that relatively few people enjoy the same flavor of the tonic as you.

[MPrint666]

@HJCarson So your argument is that the best/most artistic/talented music is listened to by the masses? Are you a donkey? It's a fact that the true music elitists who's tastes span all genres and decades are very few in number. It looks like you're putting yourself on the other side listening to whatever the Disney channel has most recently thrown your way. There's a reason why GLO is a well kept secret, because they're GOOD! Major labels ruin creative expression for sales, FACT!!!

[HJCarson]

You are right. SOUL artists also outsell them about a thousand to one.

Sorry, but even with an MS in Computer Science, I would venture to say synthesized drums, bass and keyboards, timed and played by a computer chip, is not what people normally call "SOUL."

[MPrint666]

@HJCarson If you knew anything about them, then you would know that they use BOTH real and sampled drums and carry a drumset with them to every show. There's a reason you have a degree in computer science and not in anything artistic. You just don't get it, kids like you never did.

[HJCarson]

I stop short of trying to read minds. But they must notice that absolutely imbecilic "artists," like Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas, have come along in the same time and outsell GO what, a thousand to one?

[jefferlu2]

tHESE GUYS(GAYS) ARE HEEP BIG TOILET TRAITORS,JUST KIDDIN-THEY ARE SPONTANEOUS AND AUTHENTIC-i WISH THEM THE BEST!

[cheesygruven]

ghostland is dope, goin to my first GO show in 3 weeks so puummppedddd

[MPrint666]

@huron13hoe Fucking right!!!!

[07lmullen]

Frantic is a good way to describe it.

[HJCarson]

I like the frantic quality in Aaron's voice, reminds me a little of Black Francis (Frank Black) from the Pixie's, even some old Guess Who records. I like his dancing even better. Still, these guys have to play something besides rhythm tracks and sound effects if they want to make it further than the $1.99 bin in the Techno section. Get a real guitar player and rhythm section, hope the keyboard player can learn to write some songs. This is bare bones. Keep the beat

but get some meat.

Ghostland Observatory > Your band

[ryguy86]

ummm.

well they happen to have been in Rolling Stone numerous times, have 2 hit cds, and have thousands of hits on every one of their live videos on YouTube.

I think they're past the $1.99 bin my friend..

[HJCarson]

I tried to forward an article from Billboard, I guess it didn't work out. They can't get a

record deal, despite some face-saving comments.. So if they aren't in the 1.99 bin it's because they have no distribution to speak of.

[nuhoho]

They've declined deals from Capitol and Virgin because they want to keep the rights to their music and do their own thing. Should probably think before writing dumbass comments, haha. jackass

[HJCarson]

They heard "proposals" of the type typically used to bottle up potential but dubious talent. They whould have wound up owing the distributor money.

When did you wake up? This debate was a year ago. Since then, they have disappeared from the radar screen.

Their main distribution channel now is their MySpace page, where even their free plays are unimpressive.

Any teen-ager with a PC and $31 for an A to D guitar cord is now "his own label."

That sounds like you, shithead.

[MPrint666]

@HJCarson Again, speaking about what you have no idea about. The lead singer IS the guitar player. You're like an ignorant child wondering aimlessly through this comment page.

[maxmoose10]

@MPrint666 hmmm...that would make you about ...17, shall we say? This time it only took you 9 months to wake up. Where were you, in juvenile detention? First, sticking two fingers in a double stop on the fretboard and leaving them there for the duration of the "song," while he flails away at the strings, does not make what's-his-name a "guitar player." Beyond that, you have no idea of what my knowledge of guitar, music, or production is, good bad or indifferent. So a) fuck off b) grow up.

[MPrint666]

@maxmoose10 A) I don't constantly troll comment pages so yeah, 9 months later b) Be introspective about your whole pathetic mission statement. You have no idea who I am and if I've been or am currently a successful recording artist or not. I'm not a guitarist, but I know that making good music only relates to technical ability in a few genres(jazz, metal, ect.), this not being one of them. Kurt Cobain was a pretty shitty guitarist, but he knew how to write and so he was noticed. So you fuck off.

[maxmoose10]

@MPrint666 You make it very obvious who you are, a young man with a quite sophomoric sense of his own adolescent intellect -- someone young enough to think that "MPrint666" bears some sort of dramatic cachet. Also, someone who has absolutely no idea of what constitutes guitar playing -- or lack of it -- and thinks he can dodge that fact through the use of polemics. By any reasonable standard, what Aaron did in concert -- as of the period of this video -- is not guitar playing but posturing.

[HJCarson]

@maxmoose10 Actually, my post above says "get a real guitar player," giving some credit to Aaron for whatever he contributes with the droning guitar.  Unfortunately for Little 666, he can't read, and is his own worst enemy. If he had

stayed quiet, Aaron's deficiencies would not have been magnified. Instead 666 is publicly arguing a subject he has already admitted he knows nothing about, versus someone who apparently does, and achieving the results you could expect for him and his hero.

[Jac7k]

This was awesome at Street Scene. I'm not a fan of the singer's voice live though :/

[reszzz]

finally! i saw them yesterday at the Download Fest and i recorded part of this song.. i've been looking for the name of this song since... they're awesome

[tlyerfylnner]
