Where???

My Chemical Romance: Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. Possibly my all time favourite.

The odd cover song is cool if its done well. I would suggest varying which bands songs you cover, because i've seen one band for example, play several Blink covers and get absolutely slaughtered for it on here.

Usually, My Downfall put on our favourite cds and then copy them. Otherwise, Chris sits up in the tall tower of his mansion and plays guitar all day. He then teaches us the songs, and i go off and write lyrics. I then re-write them until they don't completely suck. The rest of the band then say the lyrics are too miserable. I then say i'll change them and come back in with exactly the same lyrics. Band democracy at its finest!

Well thats no fun. Dead Ringers just won't be as funny anymore.

Yes. 'Tis highly immoral sir!

We had an awkward silence on stage at drummonds while our guitarist spent an eternity tuning up. I could not think of anything to say and the crowd/other bands, had been laughing at us all the way through as our equipment gradually gave up and died, piece by piece. Most awkward moment ever!

Yellowcard are not emo. They are prettyboy pop-punk.

Amen. My post isn't long enough

Well yes, because i know how it feels to play to bugger all people.

Being a puppet, ill check them out when they're on Kerrang and have signed to a major label. I've found this new band,called Funeral For A Friend, I think they could eb the new trend, id better get in on it.

That does not explain how im a puppet. That explains how the record companies are producing puppets, which is true, they're bastards, but it does not exlain how im a puppet. Also, if you used to listen to the style of music, you can change your opinion, but it is flagrant hypocrisy to then start being rabidly against the people who listen to it. It reminds me of a child who grows out of Fireman Sam, and then immediately begins going on about how stupid it is, and hating people who still like it. Anyway, explain the puppet comment.

And people slag off emo types for being miserable?

Rune, is it not following the crowd somewhat to spend your time slagging what you call emo. I don't think you realise how huge an insult it is to spend your time at school being chastised for being 'anti-mainstream,' and then come on here to be called a conformist clone. If i listen to something that many other people do, it is because i like it, not because i am incapable of independant thought. I don't seem to recall berating your entire lifestyle. Record comany puppet? Explain this right now.

Most of the time on here they're just shit stirring reactionaries, though.

I'm not getting into this. Plenty of ones you wouldn't like. If youre looking at my profile, thats not the ones im meaning, there are others......

Im with purplefrodo here. By the way purplefrodo, i dont think of myself as emo, its just that the type of music i listen to is the type of music these twats are slagging. I know im not real emo, hence the inverted commas on my posts.

Well im afraid sorry just aint good enough! Im all het up with righteous indignation now. You really mustn'twind me up like this. Itll only end in tears from me!

Well Beth, our drummer is better than a lot of the male drummers out there that i've seen. Just as technical as any of them. This thread is ridiculous. You get shite girl drummers, just as you get shit guy drummers. Anyone who doubts girl drummers can be ace, come see My Downfall.
