Someone (October 15, 2004)

if you wanna listen to real HXC, listen to The Used motherfuckers! -XTheUSEDX

Someone (October 16, 2004)

The used are fucking pussy rock. Shut up.

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Apparantley you can't distinguish sarcasm.

Someone (October 16, 2004)

The Used fucking suck. They're not hXc. Try Hopesfall, or Shai Hulud and compare what you hear to The Used. I mean, if someone honestly likes The Used then whatever, that's cool, but I think the fans of The Used suck harder than The Used actually do anyways. They've been around for a few years, so I give them credit for not being apart of the blooming indie-core shit of the last two years or so. I think The Used have been around for at least two and a half years, if I'm not mistaken. In any case, I really do hate The Used, personally. They're not my cup of tea, you know? But don't say they're hXc when they're not. Hardcore has always been a punk thing. Fugazi changed the belt when they added post-hardcore influences and changed the tide to more of an indie sounding project, but why is it that Fugazi, Rites of Spring, Effigies, Halo of Flies, Naked Raygun, Squirrel Bait, and even fuckin' Quicksand were all more than a DECADE before all the fucking emo tight-shirted tight-panted thick-framed glasses black mop top haircut trend engulfed the punk scene of yesteryear? I can tell you why, because it's fashionable now and it makes people feel cool. Grow the fuck up and find yourself instead of finding a false sense of character fired by the fact that you're a pussy. I'm not saying I'm Mr. hXc punk rock or anything, I'm just saying be your own person and quit trying to be like everyone else. It's people like you that make this world a shitty place to spend our lives. side note: The Used from square-one have been major label whores. Fuck anyone who's been on a major label since 2000. That was the turning point of marketed music in my opinion. There were some few great releases off majors in the 90's, but I honestly can't think of a one since 2000 off the top of my head. So maybe I should take back the thing I said about The Used being somewhat first in this explosion of indie-core stuff as of late. Fuck, this is a sad time for music. I've started a band, I'm changing things around my town at least. We're not of a name yet, but maybe you'll see us sometime. Rock on people! If you're not a person but technically a human being, I hope you find yourself on the right track someday. Quit kissing ass and sucking dick for a living. How about LIVE for a living?

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Dude that guy was obviously being sarcastic, you're a moron

Someone (October 16, 2004)

I concur.

Someone (October 16, 2004)

You sound like the biggest fucking loser on the planet. I hate the Used too, but I hate people like you even more

BizzleBrizzle (October 16, 2004)

he was joking And Hopesfall and Shai Hulud aren't even hardcore either... Shai Hulud is Metalcore Hopesfall is suckcore...

Someone (October 16, 2004)

wow, what a pretentious dork...

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Damn BSD shut the fuck up!

CrookedSuperhero (October 17, 2004)

Jesus christ, get a fucking clue. Somtimes i hate this site.

Bosco (October 17, 2004)

bahahahahahaha

Someone (October 15, 2004)

atreyu and a7x rawks xxxhardcorexxx!!!! fuck dep! .........oops alter ego talking. (slaps self in face)

Hubitcherkokov (October 15, 2004)

Berkeley as in California or Berkelee School of Music in Boston?

BizzleBrizzle (October 15, 2004)

probably the one in Boston since they're from New Jersey

Aubin (October 15, 2004)

You know what? I have no idea. When he said it, I had only heard of the one place (Berkeley in California) so I just figured it was the one he was talking about.

Someone (October 15, 2004)

almost undoubtedly the boston one. cause that's known for music. the one in california is not.

PorkPie (October 15, 2004)

boston

Someone (October 16, 2004)

isnt there a branch of berklee on the westcoast too?

Someone (October 16, 2004)

nope, just boston

BizzleBrizzle (October 16, 2004)

They're from New Jersey so it makes sense...

Someone (October 15, 2004)

that was a good interview. and a little shit talking is always fun.

Someone (October 15, 2004)

a little shit talking never hurt nobody. bands these days are too scared to name names. dillinger sees shit (literally) and they call it out.

BizzleBrizzle (October 15, 2004)

Accounts from that were awesome... Weren't they playing summer sanitarium? So he shit in to a napkin and said, "See this, this is shit, and it's all you'll be seeing for the rest of the day after us."

Someone (October 15, 2004)

Oh boy, that's brilliant. I'm glad someone acted with enough intelligence for your majesty to appreciate them. -BSD

BizzleBrizzle (October 16, 2004)

Much better than most of the mindless dribble you listen to...

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Well, I know it's much less scene. That's for sure. And to people like you, that's what matters. Maybe one day you'll grow up and listen to what you want. -BSD

BizzleBrizzle (October 16, 2004)

DEP is scene?

Someone (October 16, 2004)

... you're an idiot

Someone (October 16, 2004)

right, because it's completely inconsievable that someone listens to dillinger because they want to.

Someone (October 16, 2004)

do you have nothing better to do with your life than acting like an elitist and questioning other peoples' intelligence? grow up.

BizzleBrizzle (October 17, 2004)

He's a poor excuse for an elitist too...

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Best band interview i've ever read. totally open, totally honest. And damn funny. I've got even more respect for these guys. I enjoy some of those bands that churn out the same sound (like Alkaline Trio), but DEP really challenges me. Something about their music infilitrates my head. It's like you become one with the band... DEP, Team America, sex and vodka afterwards rule. what a perfect evening. goodnight.

Someone (October 16, 2004)

i hate you

Someone (October 16, 2004)

I find that to be pretty impressive.

FortyMinutesWest (October 16, 2004)

Discordance Axis, fuck yeah. Good interview.

ElVaquero (October 16, 2004)

Word.

Someone (October 16, 2004)

i dont find DEP to be postmodern. I dont think its fair to continually label anything as post modern when the modern age was ancient to us when we were born, it seems a silly limiting ceiling to put on someone or something. Like theres a linear binary range when things are still progressing. Like they are on the fringe, you want good music to be the norm, but as long as they are pegged as this niche music, its kind of hard to tell people not to listen to atreyu. I hadn't read much about the new singer, he seems like a great guy, my perceptions been changed. wyzo

Someone (October 16, 2004)

that made no sense

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Ugly mofos!

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Complicated white noise doesn't sustain my interest. -BSD

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Berkelee was where John Mayer and those dudes from Maroon 5 went.

Someone (October 16, 2004)

I don't get the hype around this shitty band, they blow monkey cranks!

Someone (October 16, 2004)

I like 'em best with Patton on vocatls.

BizzleBrizzle (October 16, 2004)

http://www.funknews.com/

Someone (October 16, 2004)

what are we looking at there buddy

BizzleBrizzle (October 16, 2004)

i dunno...I just switched the p with an f, and added a .com rather than a .org

Someone (October 16, 2004)

Clever.

AAHHHH (October 16, 2004)

i dont particularly like this band, but i definitely respect what they do after reading this interview

KirbyPuckett (October 16, 2004)

Excellent review Aubin. - Kirby

CrookedSuperhero (October 17, 2004)

Interview, right?

Someone (September 8, 2005)

metal music isn't accessible to anyone , but anyone who can filter the noise and listen to the beauty and feeling in these song can definitly find some pretty incredible band , and the dillinger escape plan is possibly the best example , guys you rock . If you like dillinger also listen to between the buried and me these guys are just pure genius , keep up the good work
