Dordon (June 12, 2008)

I was talking for someone that works for the Kerrang, she got an advanced copy. She says she fucking loves it. I trust her opinion, she wouldn't bullshit me, she's from Wales.

Dordon (June 13, 2008)

it did end up downloading and quite honestly its fucking great.

on par with maybe i'll catch fire.

I think my biggest problem with Less Than Jake these days is how anemic their horn section sounds without the baritone sax.

I've been thinking the same thing, that must mean we are geniuses

Big_Guy (June 12, 2008)

bring back Derron

af_punk86 (June 12, 2008)

Actually he temporarily re-joined the group to play several older songs with them at the full album shows in florida.

SloaneDaley (June 12, 2008)

although I don't even like this band really and skipped out on seeing them for free I have enjoyed these videos so there is something to be said for making me interested in that and to me, I'm right.

the next time you play beer pong, and you've got your opponents down to 1 cup, you gotta say "hey look, 2 girls 1 cup", its funny if you're playing guys or girls.

thats my advice for the day,

That's the FUNNIEST thing I've ever read in my LIFE. WOW.

elephantdwarf (June 12, 2008)

you don't read many funny things, do you?

Mammoth (June 12, 2008)

THis might be the 2nd best comment this week. WOW is right.

Puddle of mud: ftw

Tullaian (June 12, 2008)

The last time I saw Less Than Jake live was at one of the full album shows in Florida (st. pete specifically) and Roger had bought a fruit basket for the audience. No less than a minute after he threw it to the crowd does a pear get thrown back and hit Chris square in the face. It was hilarious.

Mammoth (June 12, 2008)

that's one punk rock pear.

misterspike (June 13, 2008)

That was the Pezcore show, I believe.

niveK82 (June 12, 2008)

GNV FLA is alright. It is definitely better than In With the Out Crown and Anthem but nowhere near as good as the stuff before that. No songs really seemed to stand out but I'm hoping this album is a grower

Mammoth (June 12, 2008)

so...... where the FUCK did you find it?

I'm sorry for the f bomb. I just tend to get excited and pee a little.

chrisss (June 13, 2008)

It's out there. I'm halfway through and this guy is WRONG. I am quite amazed at how great this record is. I'm a "Hello Rockview" guy myself, and this rivals that one. Hopefully it holds up over the next couple weeks, but it's fast and it's catchy and it's huge. I love this record so far.

Mammoth (June 13, 2008)

well shit man, hook a brotha up!

weirdmusician (June 13, 2008)

im listening to it right now, i like it a lot too

IanIsSuperRad (June 13, 2008)

Bullshit. I need proof.

Mammoth (June 13, 2008)

I agree. Anyone that says that they're "listening to it right now" are either liars or assholes. I'm going with asshole liars.

Well, except for that guy who hooked me up with the link today.

It's funny that he mentioned his parents. His dad is awesome. True badass

I've met his dad before, he seemed like super nice guy and was really proud of Chris.

dX927 (June 13, 2008)

During one of the album shows in Orlando they got him to come up on stage and he played portions of Twist and Shout and Louie Louie while Chris drank a beer or something.

misterspike (June 13, 2008)

Dad Demkaes groupies.

MonsterLobster (June 12, 2008)

Does anyone else remember how secretive LTJ members were about their last names until just a couple years ago? I wonder if they stopped worrying about fans stalking them or if they became so popular that they gave up trying to stop their common use.

saladxdays (June 14, 2008)

i met this dude on more than one occasion, he was always the biggest douche bag.

the other dudes were cool. darren ruled, too bad he quit.
