the last issue of AMP was great.

Is "Burning Airlines--Mission Control!" a good record?

Timis (May 12, 2004)

it's a decent record...there are a few really good tunes on it (ie pacific 231). i think it's alot better then their "newer" record. i am also really digging the new pilot to gunner (produced by j robbins) cd

Someone (May 12, 2004)

yes it is. there are a few average songs, but the good far outweighs the bad on this one. buy it!

amp energy drink taste good

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Better than Razorcake energy drink!

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Awww shit.... here we go again. let's just all agree that they both whip the hell out of AP energy drink.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Agreed!

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Fer shizzzy....

Someone (May 13, 2004)

The new AP has a CD with exclusive live tracks from Coheed, The Letters Organize, Don't Look Down and Sparta. And when I read it, the ink stays on the pages and not my fingers. But i still read AMP with a container of towelettes nearby...

Someone (May 13, 2004)

Go watch MTV you homo.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

The Frisk interview is hilarious, the Pipedown and Some Girls interviews are informative.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Yeah, that Some Girls one is funny as shit!

Someone (May 12, 2004)

This is great. Cool that they started focusing some pages on the metal scene (Death From Below section).

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Metal rules. especialy XmetalX. They cover some good shit in this section.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Looks like they have a new volume of their AMP CD line. This Street Punk one looks better than the Hard Core one. $3.99 you can't beat!

I got this on interpunk. It's actually quite good. One of the better oi! comps I have heard that isn't all old '77 bands.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Did anybody get the one that you have to pay for in the stores last month with NOFX on the cover? That was an amazing interview. It was so long, but so funny.

1+ Reply

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Yeah, i read that twice. I think I laughed harder the second time.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Scooters column is fucking hillarious, again. 18 visions didn't talk about them signing to a major though. I was curious to see what they had to say about that. Great interview though.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

How is alcoholism hillarious? Granted, it's well written, and entertaining, but quite depressing as well. Oh, and 18 Visions suck.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Dude, he's the one with the problem. If he's OK laughing about it, I think I can too. The whole "retard" thing just killed me. And always capitalizing Whiskey, just like God- that's brilliance.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Scooter rules. if you think this column is funny, go look at his old ones. I want to marry him.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Scooter is the best. You want to marry him... fight me....

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Al Quint owns! His column is always the best. That's real HC!

What's going to be the b est release this summer? That new Hot Water Music should be great.

Converge.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

I'm real interested in hearing that new Cure record.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Atreyu. That new AFI should be interesting as well.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Tom Waits!

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Tiger Army. HWM comes out in the fall.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Zaoooooo......

Someone (May 13, 2004)

yessssssssssssssssssss.....

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Jason Webley kicks ass!!! If your a fan of diffrent music that you can't put a label on, give him a listen.

5+ Replies

Someone (May 12, 2004)

I can put him in a category: Tom Waits rip-off

Someone (May 12, 2004)

If thats the case then every musician is a rip off of some one else. Him and Tom Waits have some major diffrences in style.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Jason Mraz sux0r!

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Fuck you dude, Jason Webley is tight.

Someone (May 13, 2004)

I haven't listened to this guy, but there are much worse things to be a rip-off of than Tom Waits

Someone (May 12, 2004)

I saw AWS last night. holy shitballs, they are amazing live, so much energy and they are tight musically. good shit crankwilldestroy

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Yeah, that Wilhelm article makes me want to get the record. Is it really that good? Sounds interesting for sure.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Yeah, it's good. there was a track on the last AMP comp from them. It's like faster D4, or HWM stuff. Really good. I loved that song and then got the record. It didn't disapoint.

Someone (May 13, 2004)

dude.... buy that shit... seriously... now! get off your ass, stop reading this, go to the record store and buy it! Curt

Someone (May 12, 2004)

I saw them when they were still Smacking Isaiah and they were average at best.

Someone (May 13, 2004)

probably because you were beating off in the men's room the whole time. bitch.

Someone (May 13, 2004)

if anybody else sees AWS live, make sure to give nuno a cigarette or two. he loves them suckers. Ramo

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Their record reviews are so fucking funny.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Yeah, it's like reading the funny paper every issue. they crack me up. STM is so funny. He like invents adjectives to describe music. Funny.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

AMP is certainly a high quality magazine. It seems like they really care. i just don't see this much being put into other magazines, including big profesional magazines like AP. I get this every issue, and I love it.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

It's certainly worth the money with all the free CD's and stuff. I got a subscription for $20 and got to pick a few free CD's, and then I get free CD's in every issue. Good crap man!

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Where the fuck is Martinez?

Someone (May 12, 2004)

What are you talking about?

Someone (May 12, 2004)

I guess that's where AMP is based out of. Is that down in LA somewhere?

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Martinez is up outside of Berkeley, San Fran. It's kind of between Berkeley and Benicia.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

Fifth Hour Hero is great. Glad to see them on there.

You're funny as shit.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

yeah, didn't even notice that. That was awesome.

InaGreendase (brian) (May 12, 2004)

18 visions rule. Props to amp for making them a feature.

That new major-label 18 Visions disc blows more than Jenna Jameson, and she gets more money.

Someone (May 12, 2004)

everybody says this is a mainstream mag, but that's a sweet line up of bands. this sseems like a great zine to me.

ShamRocknRoll (May 12, 2004)

scooter is obviously the best columnist

Someone (May 12, 2004)

The girl in 5th Hour Hero is way cute. They stayed over at our house and were really nice French Canadians. Check 'em out, they're on No Idea Records.

Canadians are cool, but french? Come on...

Someone (May 14, 2004)

Does anybody else think the guy that wrote the Wilhelm Scream article is a terrible writer?

Someone (May 14, 2004)

Maybe when you get out of third grade, and learn what some of those big words mean, you will understand the writing a bit more.

Someone (May 16, 2004)

Love the AMP!
