And this is why the Seattle music scene will never get any respect. *waits for your "I don't care" come back and the 5 posts to follow praising you for being such a lovable asshole*
I don't understand how you can be so high on yourself all the fucking time. It's always "I'm better at this", "My band is so awesome", "I buy more records than anyone", "Oh, you obviously have shit taste in music." Your ego is fucking out of control.
Keep in mind this is just how you come off on the internet. I'm not trying to start a feud or anything, because I'm sure you're a nice guy in real life, these are just my observations....Honestly, have we ever met?
Yes, we met once at the Funhouse. I believe it was at Ben's memorial show? You showed me your back hair. I had to leave early because I had another show to attend. I'm sorry you feel that way about me, I think that most of the people I know in real life from this board would say I'm a pretty nice dude. I don't think I've ever bragged about buying more records than anyone or claimed I was better than anyone at anything. I do think I have better taste in music than most people and I do think my band is pretty good, not going to apologize about either of those things. I don't see the point of being in a band if you don't think it's really good.
Regardless of any of that crap...if you can't show respect for a local band for bringing hundreds of people together from all different scenes, you will NEVER get any respect for continually playing shows at shitty clubs to the same 20 people a few times a month...I can smell your shit from the other side of the 520 bridge and it smells just as bad as mine.
look at me I'm the shit cuz my band can play with the damage done and people will show up! fuck off..
Everybody on this board that is in a band would be fucking LUCKY to get the kind of response Kane Hodder had in their run as a band. I don't really care about Kane Hodder, nor do I like most their music...but the amount if disrespect coming from some of you sounds like pure jealousy to me.
You will look back on your musical career one day and realize that you missed out on a big part of being a band cuz you were too big of an asshole to make a real connection with your community through your music
most of our bands are doomed to unsuccessfully burn out in a scene that never fucking cared about us....
I still don't understand why I am expected to "respect" a band because a lot of people like them. As I've pointed out before, bands like Nickelback bring MILLIONS of people together - why do you not have the same reverence for them?
I have no jealousy towards any other band in the city. The music my band makes isn't palatable to a lot of people, and we manage to do pretty well for ourselves. I'd rather play for 20 passionate music fans than 200 people who are just going to give up on music in a couple years any day.
Who is this aimed at sir?
That comment was aimed directly at me, I guess he didn't want to call me out by name. I told him at the Bit show that I made sure we got on the bill because 1) my band is all big fans of the Damage Done and we really wanted to play with them, but also 2) I knew if we played with the Damage Done, a lot of people who wouldn't normally come see us would be forced to see us whether they liked it or not.
Trash Talk
Man, I'm super-late to this bandwagon, too! I had just kind of ignored them, figured they were just another over-hyped boring hardcore band. I just downloaded their self-titled album last week and it blew my fucking mind, and now I'm bummed because I can think of at least a half-dozen times I could have seen them in really cool spaces!
