So as of right now, Elliott is the best band in the world. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
Man, I could've gone to this freakin' show! But I had to hear about them until later on...like in September, and when I finally found out some stuff about them, I had realized that they had played in Chicago-(the closest they'd ever get to where I am) Then to find out that they had already broken up. Although, from what I hear about Benny Clark, about how horrible he is-I would think that that'll probably be true. But, you have to like it if you're a true Elliott fan. Eh, well, I'm just bumed out because I never got to see them live. Anyway, this band was awesome...I really hope that they get back together...but I doubt that. Either that, or Chris can make another band with his amazing vocals. Later, peace! i wasn't at this show, but i saw elliott pretty recently and i've gotta say that since seeing them i can't even listen to their records. they were so awful. the new guitarist dances around like a goddamn idiot, at least the old guy looked like he was getting into the songs. they didnt play anything off of US Songs or even the 2 EPs in between the 2 albums! it was horribly boring and made me swear off Elliott for quite some time. No time(read: too lazy) to set up an account, sorry. I was god, this makes me so glad i don't live anywhere near a tour like this would come. worst fucking show EVER. Chris, Eh, I feel kinda stupid reposting. It was kinda funny though. Just a smart-ass comment about how incredibly boring Elliot were at Krazyfest last year. We have a script that we setup to delete multiple messages (like when someone posts something idiotic 500-times by re-submitting alot). It might have gotten cleaned up by that accidently (if it was posted twice?)... OK, I just posted a negative comment about Elliot and it gets erased? What the fuck? dude.....god's about as punk rock as ronald regan. and just because of lonely hallucinatory shephards in the middle of the desert...oh nevermind. God's pretty fucking punk rock. Seriously, you people are retarded. I'm convinced that the only reason these sub-genres and categories exist is for you to argue about their contents and how to define them. If someone's constitution of punk varies slightly from yours, how much does that honestly affect your life and who you are? Oh, that's right...it doesn't. In conclusion, Yea God! YEEEEAAAAAAHH GAAAAAWWEEEED!!!! I think there is something there I hear in both bands...maybe the off time song structures... not really sure. Ok, so ATDI wasn't the BEST example, they were just the first band that popped in my head. More Kid Dynamite than ATDI obviously, but I don't think it was the worst comparison of sounds. there isn't an ounce of at the drive in in strike anywhere's sound. both are great bands, but they sound nothing, and i mean nothing alike. strike anywhere more akin to avail, kid dynamite, etc. In your pathetically vast knowledge of music, I am sure you know who are and are not punk on that list Scott, and it's less than 50 percent of them. It just seems sometimes like you don't actually pay half as much attention to actual punk rock, which I would figure a lot of the people are here to read about. When it appeared as if you were slagging one of the few punk rock bands actually making a difference right now I kinda lost it. I didn't know you hadn't actually heard them before. You should definately check them out if you have not. Kind of a mix between Kid Dynamite and At the Drive In with politicaly charged lyrics. I like a lot of 'emo' or the softer side of punk, if you will, it's just it would be nice to see a little more 'punk' content on my favorite website. Know what I'm saying? This is off the who is punk rock thing, but I saw Strike Anywhere this past Sunday and they rocked pretty fucking hard. I liked em... In MP3 of the week? Well, here's a list of bands that have been featured: Lagwagon....you're so right, you got us on that, I have to admit. Now lets see you name some other punk bands you have covered... Lagwagon's not punk? Dude, you've never really gotten into Strike Anywhere?? What tthe hell Scott? I've defended you quite a few times on here, but I stand by what I said on an earliar post, I don't think you actually like PUNK ROCK. Enough with the goddamn emo already, could you please do a positive PUNK review sometime? Or maybe a PUNK song as the MP3 of the week? Seriously... I was also at this show. I should've broughten my pillow because Elliott put my ass to sleep. Elliott is sooooo fucking good! |
