I agree…for every lost job…every smashed up car…every broken heart…there’s always been Therapy?

I used to / still love The Driven…they were an excellent and very original…or as original as you can be…

Anybody into The Twilight Singers / Afghan Whigs…went to see Twilight Singers at King tut’s on Saturday night…amazing gig…Greg Dulli is like the ultimate frontman

The White Light Motorcade is actually a very enjoyable affair…i could go into the influences yadda yadda…but it just simply rocks…They supported Therapy? at the Garage in Glasgow last year…and they gave it their all…bags of energy and there were only about 15 people there…The should have been on second and the pish that is Amplifier should have played to 15 people.

Anyway…White light Motorcade album is worth the five quid it set me back…absolute bargain of last year

I definitely see both points of view so we’ll all have to agreed to disagree…but where’s the fun in that

Therapy? have loads of great band ssupporting them…

personal favourites were Clutch, Terrorvision, Joyrider, Rico, Whipping Boy and I was really impressed with White Light Motorcade…so much i bought the album at the merch stand…Also Whipping Boy’s Heartworm album is still my favourite album of all time…anyone know where i can get hold of another copy as mine is burnt out…

Anyone know what happened to a band called The Driven

No offence Tightrope Walker…but I think you missed the point of the review…it wasn’t written about Therapy?, it was written about The Offspring…it was stating that the riff was like a mediocre Therapy? riff…which isn’t a slur against Therapy?…in fact it’s probably a praise…as in the best that The Offspring could come up with was a riff that Therapy? would discard…as in Andy Cairns would think it was mediocre and bin it.

As much as I hate NME, they did, i think, quite a bit for Therapy? in the early days…They, if my memory serves me correctly, describe Therapy? as one of the most exciting and important indie bands since Nirvana and The Pixies in 1992…or something to that effect…But you can’t really blame NME…as they’ve all done it Kerrang, Metal Hammer, NME, Melody Maker, Select…etc…etc…They’ve all loved Therapy?…all hated Therapy?…and all been indifferent towards Therapy?…

Because at the end of the day, these magazines are business…it’s their job to sell magazines…and if that means ignore truly talented bands and praise “the next big thing” or whoevers cool at the time…and that’s what it takes to make big profits then they’ll do it…but i doubt Therapy? care…these guys are a band who made it through hard work and not because they dressed like The Strokes…and that’s something that we as fans should be proud of…the Therapy? guys never sold out…always made consistently fantastic albums…From hearing Nurse the first time…through buying troublegum on day of release…and then buying Infernal Love on the day of release…and being overwhelmed that this band were so truly amazing and awe-inspiring…to the fact that Andy Cairns donates mediocre riffs to The Offspring is even better

I think maybe thats the point…maybe people are too biased and can’t comprehend Therapy? making a mediocre riff…so therefore were offended by the piece…the review just proved to me that despite not recieveing mainstream and commercial success anymore…the band are still critically acclaimed

I don’t think that the quote in question could be taken in a negative way…the reviewer stated that it was like a mediocre Therapy? riff…

I very much doubt that he was implying that Therapy?’s riffs are in any way mediocre…As it wasn’t a Therapy? review…it was an Offspring review…

Therefore when he said that it was like a mdeiocre Therapy? riff, he obviously meant that the Offspring riff was a mediocre version of a riff that Therapy? would play…

Also, possibly implying that this massive band like Offpsring…that sell millions of albums and are very rich men…can only come up with what sounnds like a bad version of a discarded Therapy? riff…despite Therapy? being a much smaller band with hardcore fanbase…and therefore obviously more talented than the millionsellers

Or something like that

It makes sense in my head

I think that it is indeed a fantastic dvd…and maybe i’m just being a greedy bastard but for a band that have been on the go for over a decade there could have been a lot more on there…

More Q & A
Home videos (no not that kind filthmongers)
More live snippets…
Discography and memories from Andy et al

that kind of shit

but i suppose i’ll just have to make do with a fantastic live set…excellent videos…and martin being rubbish on Q&A

Title: Thank You Santa

Imagine the joy…

Waking up from a drunken night out…

Driving to your family home…

Meeting up with your sister who you haven’t seen for the best part of a year…

To find out that she’d been having secret phone meetings with your girlfriend to find out what present to buy you…

to be gifted with a bottle of Wild Turkey…

Therapy? Scopophobia DVD…

And a big fuck off Toblerone…

Needless to say…My Boxing Day was a hideously drunken, chocolatey, rock n roll muthafucka of a day

And I loved it…

And now Therapy? have a new fan in my girlfriend…especially the boy “the cute guitarist that plays the funny cello thingy”
