Wow..... ok.  You go on the list of peoples whos opinion about music doesn't count.

TBS are awesome, but they sound NOTHING like good charlotte or New Found Glory.  They are about as different from those bands as they are from say, oh, Metallica.

Talk about misclassification.

Okay personally I think they do
that's why it's an opinion
why do you have to be so rude?

really.

[badsrx7]

and.
I would never go as far as saying
TBS is awesome.
Oh please.

Ok, let me explain something to you.  There are opinions, and there are facts.  For example, if you say "I THINK 2+2=5" then you aren't very bright, but technically correct because you said "I think".

If you had said "I THINK TBS sounds like.. blah" then I would have said "you know nothing about music" but you would still be allowed your opinion.

However, you said "TBS Sounds like... blah".  Which, is an incorrect statement.  They do NOT sound like NFG or Good Charlotte.  it is not an "opinion".  It is a fact.  They dont.  Different strumming, different vocals, very different tempo, very different production work, completely different STYLES of music.

There is nothing EMO about NFG or good charlotte.  GC is heavily HIP HOP influenced and what ive heard of NFG sounds like a bad Blink pop clone.

Fact vs Opinion.  See the difference?

As for "why do I have to be so rude".    Because, ignorance spouted as FACT, pisses me off.  Do your research and be prepared to defend ANY claims you make OR ELSE be prepared to be ridiculed.  Its the facts of life.  People cannot, and should not, be able to get away with making a public statement without being able to support it.

And Taking Back Sunday IS awesome.  They are part of a very original movement in music.  Hell, they were one of the earlier emo-rock bands to come out.  But thats an OPINION im stating.  Which means people are allowed to disagree.  Unlike a FACT.  Which has a definitative right or wrong answer.

Am I making sense to you here?

Their website claims that they aren't broken up and that we should ignore news reports.

This is as of the 16th though.  I would think that if they had officially called it quits they would have posted it on their site.

Frankly, they are rapidly becoming one of my favorite bands, so if they do break up, i'll be really dissapointed.

well thanks to JESS i love TBS!    great stuff

I don't think I ever posted the update, but they did NOT break up, obv.  They actually dropped two band members and picked up two members from breaking pangea.  Then the remaining members of BP formed with the two guys who left TBS to form Straylight Run.  Weirdness.

I must say, as much as it sucks for TBS that they had to lose two members, it really was for the better. Straylight Run rocks my freakin socks man. And Breaking Pangaea.....much love for them as well, much love. BUT, they both can not compare to TBS. Though SR is right up there. They even went on tour with TBS.

I must agree with Andrew's previous post that TBS is all kinds of awesome. wow.....i agree with Andrew.....did I just feel the earth stop? :-P jk.

[Grakthis]

wow.....i agree with Andrew.....did I just feel the earth stop? :-P jk.

I'm sure it was just a freak accident.  It'll never happen again  :razz:

haha well, ya never know, we did agree on Punk and "punk", which no one has ever agreed with me on, so anything's possible :-P

I love the new video with the FLava FLav/Public Enemy in it! It's great!

Ooohh I found the link for their new demo song!!!!!!!!!!! it's so awesome! quite possibly my favorite by them. You can dl it here: http://www.rockingthescene.com/archives/01-taking_back_sunday-new_demo-gob.mp3

EDIT: i tried to figure out the lyrics, i think i got about 70% of them. The parts with the ** by them are the ones i don't know or am unsure about:

Make a big scene
Make this glass house my coffin
you missed the big picture
Well it’s the words that you’re coughin up
*How...you sleep?*

something i can’t understand

well i’m telling you now
What  you’ve known all along
And it’s tired but true
And settled but new
There’s a hole in the stereo
It’s callin for you (callin for you)
It’s callin for you

Well I’m a slave to my vices
They’ve all been renamed as your crutch
So drag my name and my face through the mud
Couldn’t make a better thing
*tryd to make a better thing?*
Showed to me how vicious you could be
Do what you came here to do (what you came here to do)
*Pick up, pick up this new parting end*
The right direction, my new found discretion

It’s not a lie, if you believe it
It’s not the same if you, always repeat it
It’s not a lie, if you repeat it
It’s no mistake if you, always repeat it
*something coming clean this way*
*something sung in the background*
but i don’t need to hear it from you
What’s another word from you
*something sung at the end*
