What's The First Song You Remember Hearing From TLE?

[Evil Chris]

Mine was Who's Gonna Save Us? I Didn't know who sang it until YEARS later.

[Allanah]

Mine was... Prisoner of Society... I remember singing it when I was like... young... can't recall the age though....

[Kimjar]

From Here On In, back in the day.

[Kristen]

Prisoner of Society

[alltornmatt]

POS. i was bout 10. i think they had a tv ad on promoting the new album and thats when i first heard it

[jodiexxllewellyn]

I remember listening to Prisoner on one of those Matchbox Car CDs.

I was never a Barbie CD listener lol.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

mine was Roll on. My friend let me listen to it, and thank God he did, cause there one of my favorite bands now

[Rhiannon]

I remember the exact moment I first heard The Living End; I was in our art classroom in Primary School and Prisoner of Society came on the radio. It quickly became our classes anthem.

[gretsch25]

POS, way back in 1999. I rememeber being an assistant DJ for my college radio station, and thinking that these guys sound really pissed off. But lo and behold they're quite nice.

[*M!]

boringly enough - my first TLE audio experience was "Prisoner of Society" too!
*shocked*
:eek:

i would have been 15 and it came along at the right time in my life to make an impact...

these things you don't quite realise until you're older (generally) and will go to any lengths to buy things that can in any way relate to the band...

isn't this thread sorta covered in the "your TLE Milestones (http://www.thelivingend.com.au/vBforum/showthread.php?t=102)" thread though?

*M!

[Kev]

From Here On In.

Good Old JJJ played it a bit. I enjoyed it.

[BenPresland]

Prisoner of society on Recovery.

[Erin]

whats on your radio? on rage or video hits...mid november....went :eek:

[State_Of_Emergency]

a lot..

Probably Wake Up.. not sure cuz my friend showed me a lot... could've been Tainted Love too

(i LOVED Tabloid Mag.. but it wasn't till August this year that i realised it was by TLE :D)

*edit* now i have Wake Up and Whats On Your Radio stuck in my head

[worry_rock]

Mine was Who's Gonna Save Us? I Didn't know who sang it until YEARS later.

Haha, WGSU isn't THAT old to be saying yeaaaars later.

Mine was Prisoner of Society followed by Second Solution.

[mel_bound]

Who hadn't heard Prisoner of Society? I remember watching the filmclip on Video Hits or something when I used to watch it every morning as a young'in.

[Erin]

i was a spice girls and aqua fan, never listened to the radio, and can't remember wether or not i saw POS on rage/video hits.

my mum remembers (and enjoys) the clip to all torn down

[State_Of_Emergency]

i was a spice girls and aqua fan

spice girls? i remember them... one of there songs i liked. i wasn't what you'd call a "fan" but i did like some of their stuff

(a lota bands i like some of their stuff.. eskimo joe, evermore, the living end and evanescence have been the bands that i've liked a lot of their stuff)

i liked a lot of TLE stuff, but didn't realise until this year that some of the songs I actually KNEW but didn't know they were by them.. Blast from the Past.. well, kinda

[Rhiannon]

Lol, even my mum knows Prisoner of Society, and she lives under a rock where music is concerned! She couldn't tell you what it was called, though, she'd probably know who it was by considering that I hardly shut up about TLE during my post-concert-euphoria.

[Erin]

my mum enjoys listening to prisoner of society, we sing along :D

[State_Of_Emergency]

my mum enjoys listening to prisoner of society, we sing along :D

kool.. my mum's seen the Nothing Lasts Forever clip, the Long Live The Weekend one.. and the others on the DVD.. also some of the live stuff

she likes Chris' hair when its blond :D and i think she like Chris best, as do i

[Emily]

I cant remember the exact song...but once i had discovered TLE properly i started realising i knew a fair few of their songs without knowing who they were.

[State_Of_Emergency]

same here!

[Emily]

havn't looked back since...:p

[Sarah]

easy,

FHOI, JJJ hottest 100 day 98.

i also heard second solution on the radio around that time and recorded it to a cassette. love it to pieces, played it non stop, had no idea who the band was til much later :)

[State_Of_Emergency]

lol, same here

(you can thank Erin for tellin me bout TLE, otherwise i wouldn't be hooked right now :D)

[Loo C]

Pretty typical.....saw the Prisoner of Society clip on Rage every Saturday morning for a few weeks when I was in year 4 (I always watched Rage because I was obsessed with HANSON! Remember them?). I thought the song was pretty damn awesome. But I didn't really understand why these three guys were dressing up in silly clothes, and running around the streets and then all of a sudden playing a rock concert. :)

[AlinaPOW]

Who's Gonna Save Us when it came out. I distinctly remember going to school and having the video clip stuck in my head. Good morning that was.

[Liz]

Prisoner of Society.

I remember running around the house singing it at the top of my voice when I was 7 or 8. God, that really pissed off my parents. That was the time when we were moving from QLD to SA and let me you now, my family didn't exactly enjoy the car ride down here. :p

[hillaas]

I think it must have been POS when it was a single. I dont remember hearing it but when i got in to TLE it was the one song that i knew all the words to so i assume it was the first i heard. And being the first single they released that might also be why!

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Prisoner of Society on RAGE!

haha havent watched that in a couple of years

[wizard_23]

My older brother bought the POS/SS Single and i pretty much took ownership of it. For my last day of primary skool i got all the kids in our grade to pretty much scream along 2 it and point fingers when our teacher came back in after lunch. pretty dorky but im kinda glad i was rock n' roll enoof 2 make a stand! (he was a real wankstain!)

[Liz]

That's the kinda thing I do. :p
Lots of people know POS so we just sing it when we have relief teachers in music.
Spreading the joy of TLE to everyone. :cool:

[State_Of_Emergency]

Spreading the joy of TLE to everyone. :cool:

thats the way to do it :D

i think we've all sang (or have been tempted to sing) that song at someone before.

thats the genius of the song, everyone can relate.:o As with most of their songs...:)

[AlinaPOW]

You're saying you can relate to Uncle Harry?

[AlinaPOW]

Or Tabletop Show? 'Coz THAT would be a touch disturbing...

[Emily]

im not sayin i dont. teehehe...

ooh and Hold Up...i've robbed a few banks in my time

[Erin]

were you born in the east or born and raised in the west? :D

[hillaas]

How about the room. Been in there Emily?

[Emily]

ok ok ok...i said most.
i'd be lucky if i knew up from down...forget east and west!!

[Colezy]

From Here On In cause it's track one on IFYOG. My older cousin played IFYOG & Self titled to me oneday just after s/t was relased, just to see if I'd like TLE and I did! :p

[Meg]

All Torn Down.

[magicalcharlie]

FHOI on triiiple j....i then proceeded to mosie on down to disclocation (which i think is no more) and buy the ep. ahh happy days

[dirty man]

well the 1st would probably be when i brought modernartillery, i went into the shop and called it 'heavy artillery' :( , after hearing them i thought 'holy shit........this band rocks' and it went on from there




TLE ROCK!!!!

[BeaglesRule]

A girl at my skating rink has music mix cds and she actually had TLE on some of them, but didn't even know who they were (she gets songs off of shows, like the background music for the O.C. and such). The first TLE song I heard was Whos Gonna Save Us and on another cd was West End Riot. I was too shy to ask what the song was, so I frantically searched the web for a song called Who's Gonna Save Us. A guy I know from Australia greatly assisted me afterwards.

[-Jamie-]

Watching tv and Save the day video clip came on. I was instantly blown away, I was like "What the f*ck is this?! This is awesome!"
Been a fan ever since.:)

[thesheltercrew]

That'd be 'Ready' on the Short Music compilation.

Thought it sounded 'interesting' so checked the band out on the interweb. Rest is history etc.

[*M!]

oh - that's so cool!

that's probably one of the most random songs to have heard of first - nice effort! :)

*M!

[luke_the edge_dragons]

POS on rage...oh the good old days...

[kempos2112]

POS filmclip in an add break on ABC, at primary school infact.
then i remember singign along 2 role on and uncle harry on tripple j.
wasnt untill my guitar teacher taught me all torn down that the adiction kicked in.

[Madaussie]

My first le song would be pictures in the mirror,like 2 years ago XDXDXDXD,i know hardcore

[The Dying Start]

Mine was Who's Gonna Save Us? I Didn't know who sang it until YEARS later.

Haha, It was only released 3 years ago. So you didn't know who played it until just recently? :)


First song i heard was From Here On In, but i didn't even know who it was until POS came out and i started doing some research!

[ViciousAli]

Prisoner of Society or Second Solution... not too sure =S.

[The Dying Start]

Yeah, they all sound the same...pfft. :p

[ViciousAli]

Hahaha... Noo... i just can't remember which one i heard 1st... i think it was POS
:o

[_jimmy_]

i remember second solution on tv or something, changed the channel just before the solo when chris yells out "or will i get second solution"

*plays air guitar solo of second solution.

[The Dying Start]

Hahaha...that makes it sound like you got sick of the song and changed the channel to something else before the solo, however i presume you mean you tuned in to the station IN TIME to see that part?!

[thesheltercrew]

oh - that's so cool!

that's probably one of the most random songs to have heard of first - nice effort! :)

*M!

It's without a doubt the best track on that comp, even though Chris's vocals are bloody awful.

[tiny_kim]

i believe it was monday... :)

[_jimmy_]

a day like no other, chris' vocals werent exactly that good in hellbound but his best vocals are on SOE. wish i could sing like him.

[i_heart_you]

my first was growing up back in '98...my sister had ordered the ST cd from australia, and that was the first song i remember hearing.
it just stuck in my head and i begged her to play it every day until she just gave me the cd.
the strangest thing is, it's my only tle album that doesn't have a song that skips(besides SOE, but give me time), and yet it's the one i play the most. :rolleyes:

to this day, growing up is still my favorite song in the whole world, by any band.

[The Dying Start]

It's without a doubt the best track on that comp, even though Chris's vocals are bloody awful.

It's meant to be like that, a bit like Fond Farewell. But it's a kick ass song.

[Tyler_who]

The first song i heard was whats on your radio at the start of the year. I only listened to the singles off their new album until one day when i got on the bus and my friend had his ipod. He let me listen to it and i put it on shuffle and then POS came on and im like "this song kicks ass" and i looked down and it said The Living End. Loved em ever since.

[hillaas]

Ahhhhh....good old WOYR!



Actually...not that old....





I'll shutup now...





.

[GoodOrEvil]

That I can remember? What's On Your Radio.

Yeah, only just got into them.

[The Dying Start]

At least you can admit it. And it's good to have you on board!

[AlinaPOW]

That'd be 'Ready' on the Short Music compilation.

Thought it sounded 'interesting' so checked the band out on the interweb. Rest is history etc.

That compilation's GREAT :D

[dirty man]

whos gonna save us, now i can play it a bit

[_jimmy_]

i remember hearing WOYR on the radio and thinking it was annoying, but now its a cool song

[dirty man]

how ironic

[Jodez]

POS was the 1st song i heard...so i would have been 12-13...and the thing i remembered from the video clip was the dude with the book saying the words...

[Colezy]

how ironic
No it's not. Sometimes it takes 2,3 or even more listens of a song for someone to to like it. I know people who, in the last few years, have only just started to like some of the songs off of TLE's self titled album.

POS was the 1st song i heard...so i would have been 12-13...and the thing i remembered from the video clip was the dude with the book saying the words...
For me it is the guy who screws up his face and does some sort of "punk-rocker" thing with his arms/hand...or something like that! :p I remember it looks as though his eye is going to pop out!

[Jodez]

Haha isnt it funny what types of different things people remember.

[Dthwestcoast]

It maybe cliche but it was prisoner of society.

[The Dying Start]

It's only a cliche because it was the most whored song of 1998! Anyone who didn't hear it must've been living in a bubble.

[Tyler_who]

I kind of remember it but i didnt no it was living end. I was really young
