TV is so shit I can’t stand watching it anymore…

…I don’t really know what this has to do with anything though!!

Apart from Neighbours which I watch when I come home from work… but thats a bit shit now as well!

but a band like the cure?.. i think they got enought money am i right??

It probably costs a fortune to be in a band - Record companies don’t give you money to record albums, they loan you your money to… plus equipment, tours - I would imagine the Cure are financially comfortable but there are very few bands out there that make a great deal of money.

Its not like they are endorsing the product either - like all driving round in fiats or whatever the adverts are for…

I’m not having a go at you or anything - just playing devils advocate…

:p

I don’t think there are many bands that dont want to become sucessfull. Why bother in the first place if you don’t wish to do well?

I think people get confused about ‘selling out’ - I don’t think being successful should make you a so-called sell out or cheapen the music you have made - if a band sacrifices their musical integrity to become sucessful however - then i can understand why people would have a problem.

Lets face it - Therapy? were successful around the time of Troublegum - and I recently read somewhere that the money they made from that record allowed them to go on and write albums like SP-YF and the new one - which might not be as comerically viable - without the pressure to force-write Troublegum 2 just to put food on the table and the kids through college or whatever.

I can see your point about selling yourself to the industry and all that - but you have to look at it in the sense that you probably go to work to get paid, just like I do, and I don’t see why musicians cannot do the same.

Grrr ;)

Whats wrong with making a living? I’m sure he wasn’t thinking of car comercials when he wrote it so what does it really matter?

You can find them fairly cheap on Ebay no?

I have some spares if you are more specific

I love the Wildhearts - but Therapy? have the edge - plus I have liked Therapy? longer.

Its not really like glassjaw - but its really funky anyway!

I think you have to watch your prices for some items as I’m sure, regardless how big a fan someone is of T? they cant afford over £50 for Meat Abstract.

If you watch ebay it always goes for way more than £50 - i’ve seen it fetch as much as £117

Just seen them tonight - the show was stolen by their pissed up bassist - he was striding round the stage throwing rock star poses even though he could barely stand, he looked a right cock but it was really funny.

He fell into the drumkit, fell off the side of the stage - fell into the crowd - it then looked like he tried to pick a fight with the drummer, had a bit of a sit down, tried to pick a fight with the crowd and eventually dived into the audience - all as the bemused band played on!

Rock and roll stupidity at its best!

Just come back from Avenged Sevenfold in Manchester - was pretty good…

Forget what you’ve seen elsewhere buddy - this is ‘new album cover’ all the way!

:D

Infernal Love era!

(Before changing the message boards’ software in August 2007 this post had a file attachment, which may return in the future)

Try open C for a laugh - Strapping Young Lad use it - really interesting to play

CGCGCE

This has nothing to do with any therapy? songs though

Sell your body to the night! ;)

Its true! :D Next time I’ll have to meet some though- didn’t meet a single one last time in Manchester, lots of people were interested by my Rocket from the Crypt shirt though!

We must have been at more than one gig at the same time then - I have been to every Therapy? Manchester show since the Infernal Love tour - and if they didn’t play Manchester I saw them in Preston…

I cant find a namesake - I truly am one of a kind!

I’ve just made my donation - if its any consolation - they are going to a good home and will be well looked after ;)

Father? :eek:?

:D

Works!

‘This Ship Is Sinking’ has a real Joy Division sound to it.
