well....it started with an arial view of tony playing the drums. he was bobbing his head, really into it. then it showed the whole band, and when jim is playing alone, it did a close up on his neck (guitar neck). then it showed the whole band again, and jim was singing with a really fierce look on his face, as he was stretching to hit the note. and he did, right on the head. awsome vocals, like i said. paul seemed a lot more into the music than he did with ATDI. paul and jim's voices match well together. they sound the same. matt was a little set back from the band. or maybe it just seemed that way cause he wasn't singing or anything. but he seemed comfortable and content playing the bass. he is a good addition to the band. well, the band played great, and after the guitars faded out, jim said 'thanks' to the crown before they just fucking exploded into appause. great performance

Hey Cortex, who were the other guests on that episode, just in case it comes on again, so I can start searching... I didn't know they were on... still have to get Wiretap Scars... it's between that and a Dodger hat (I'm a diehard Dodger fan [and I now live in Giants country, lovely  )... might go with Wiretap, though, just died my hair blonde w/ orange stripes, might wanna keep the hat off for a little while longer... |

Baseball strike date is August 30th... I think they're going to alienate a lot of fans if they strike... I'll still watch, though, baseball's a part of my life, I've been a Dodgers fan for as long as I've owned a baseball, glove and bat... MLB's going to lose the all-important casual fans, though, and there goes its future 50 years down the road.

I saw them twice here in El Paso. I guess they can at least play a decent show. They're just loud. Like I said in an other thread, I lost all respect for them since the release of their "pop" video and what they said in last months SPIN magazine.  |

yeah, a friend told me he saw sparta on that show 'all things rock' on mtv. i've watched that show a few times and i never really saw anything outstanding on it, no big surprise.
how do yall feel about the vines? decided to try out their album, and its pretty cool, despite the whole non-indy, major label thing. hey glitter, aren't they from aussie? or that might be the hives...

the hives are svedish(from sweden)
the vines are ok. album shows different styles. beatles(shows why you took a chance cortex boy), nirvana?, and just rock.

i thought it was just me that heard some reseblance to the beatles. when i listened to the slower stuff, i instantly thought beatles. its weird, cause the other songs aren'tlike them at all. just s few of the slower ones. that song factory has an almost ska feeling to it. kinda reggae, you know? cool cd.

Yeah, I heard that Vines album a couple of times, there's a song on there where he sounds almost exactly like John Lennon... lotta Nirvana to them, too. I gotta get their album...

that would be cool if a band would make an album where every song was a different genre of music. ...i think a band the urge attempted it.

QOTSA comes close, but only within the rock context... maybe an album that starts hard rock, then goes to gangsta rap, then some folk stuff... then Hardcore raver stuff... I dunno... that'd be cool to hear an ecclectic album
