medichi Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 earthtone9, Will Haven, The Crocketts, Kerbdog, Grand Theft Audio, Mahumodo, Pitchshifter, Godflesh (although plenty posthumous praise now...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkster Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Wasn't that taken by earthtone9 or downthesun. Definately Will Haven though.I doubt the band formed from them will amount to much either which is a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Husker Du. Definitely Husker Du.And Cecil.Kerbdog for sure as well. Even Wilt, as they were more comercial and pop / rock orientated. I know not everyone like Wilt as much as Kerbdog, but in terms on "making it" I thought Wilt would have sold well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 earthtone9' date=' Will Haven, The Crocketts, Kerbdog, Grand Theft Audio, Mahumodo, Pitchshifter, Godflesh (although plenty posthumous praise now...)[/quote']Grand Theft Audio were an amazing band - I love Blame Everyone so much, but they blew it big style by not gigging enough (did they ever do a full tour of the UK?), only ever releasing ONE single and never offically releasing their album in the UK. I would say it was hardly through a lack of effort they never made it big. Maybe they had recod label problems (on a first album?) but they will have to go down in history as a band who never reached their full potential. They were lucky to get as far as they did by having famous brothers and playing in moderatley succesful bands before GTA.Having said that, "Death to the Infidels" is a fucking barnstormer of a song, and "We Luv U" made them a fortune by being featured in about fifty films. How did they do it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbroken Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Good, because he was fairly annoying....Sorry if this is any disrespect to you, but he was the worst member of the band I thought.
