Wall of Mouths

rene, it wasn’t my intent to come off so hostile towards you, and for that i sincerly apoligise…

you did state that tk4two1 should be doing more to promote therapy? though, and since he is in north america like me, i do take it personally when someone suggests that north amercian fans don’t do anything, or they should be in any way responsible… tk4two1 or myself can’t call up local radio stations because the album isn’t over here… we can’t buy the dvd and play it for friends because it won’t play over here… sure, insulting the band won’t get anyone far, but to suggest north american fans should be more productive is wrong, especially when it is impossible for us to do so…

i’d also like to point out that tons of bands tour their asses off over here, playing small club after small club making a name for themselves… sure it can be tough, but this is how you build a fan base… besides 8 shows in 2001, the last time t? were over here is 1997… management aside, there’s no reason for this besides just not wanting to come back…

everyone around here likes to think of therapy? as angels or something, and they are great guys, but let’s be serious… if they really wanted to build their fan base in NA, if they really wanted to promote their new cds in NA, they’d be busting their balls around here playing shows… maybe they’re older now and don’t feel the need too, maybe they’re content with the success they’ve had, and that’s great for them… but it’s not great for the fans of NA and we should suggest otherwise, or lay blame on us…

also, this post is not to try to slam you again, or anyone else for that matter… i respect your opinion and all the work you’ve done for the band… i’m just trying to bring up valid points as to why NA fans have the right to feel the way they feel… we shouldn’t feel ashamed or hide the way we feel just because this is a therapy? board and therefore everything should be pro-therapy?… some may be afraid to speak the unpopular opinion, so i’m doing it for them… again, i apoligise if it comes off hostile, it has never been my intent, i’m just very passionite about the subject and therefore it has a tendency to come out the wrong way…

Reverend Savage?, when/where are you moving to canada?

this brings up a good question though: rené, when you do get to sell the cd on the site, are the profits going directly to the band, or to spitfire? also, any idea as to if it will be cheaper to purchase off this site and shipping to NA compaired to us doing so through amazon.co.uk or something?

Having said that, in music more than any other industry, demand is stimulated by a band going out and gigging. Even though the economics may be against them, this is something T? could do. I think they’d be rewarded handsomely in fan loyalty - and the cash sales that would follow.

know any promoters?

Title: Seriously

Im from ny and im 19 me, my friends, and family have been hardcore therapy? fiends for years, we would drive 400 hours to see them anywhere in the US. I know if they toured the crap out of the US more hardcore they would be huge and get the respect they deserve over here. But then again i guess they dont really need to at this point in their careers unless they want to. And it would also give up “our little secret band”, but dammit they own my soul and i want to see them before i die. Something came between us and getting to their shows on the last tour, which sucked. I hope they come over here someday again. even if i have to pay them to play in my basement. then i could die somewhat happy! As for the us release date, that sucks. I want it to leak at least so i can wait for the us release date to finally come so i can buy it then, but listen now. Fuck labels and the industry, the end.

Either that or it’s an extreemly slow car, or maybe skateboards or scooters. :D

::Reads 3 sentences:: Yup, if you say so.

dont now why the yanks are complaining, T? been over there 60 times (more or less, where as they’ve only been over here 6 (3 in 95 and 3 in 98. and as for release dates, sure, its released out here, but lets see if it doesn´t take 6 months for me to find like h.a…

Well in that case, this not being an American message board, could we please have “capitalisation” :-)

Laugh out loud! Good call. I’m going to need an “American” to “English” dictionary, my friend. :)

Title: Oh yea

The last tour aside from the 2001 one

other side of the country really… about an hour away from toronto…

as for region 2 dvd players, not here… you have to buy a region 0 player, but even then most won’t play PAL dvd’s… i know there are ways to modify your player to play them…

Title: whee!

hey, dave from USA here kids..

as for dvd players that’ll play other regions, look into Apex brand players.. they tend to be cheaper dvd players and often have firmware you can find updates for online, or “service modes” that you can open up, that’ll allow playing other regions.

and i know I’ll get castrated for saying this, but at first listen to the first couple tracks, I was a bit disappointed.. though now as I’m going through a proper listen of all the tracks, I’m getting excited about this album.

(though honestly I’ve disliked the first single off of their last few albums, always felt the “deep cuts” had so much more potential. but no biggie!)

Here’s to hoping we get a good way to purchase it in the states, though doubtful.. it’ll feel like I’m buying semi-detached all over again.. aka import and really f’in expensive (if memory serves that ran me about $25 usd plus a few for shipping.. pretty sad when average cd is about $15 usd in the shops)

“it could be worse, I could be you”
