The Living End - Obscure Reference Thread

[The Dying Start]

This is entirely different to the "I heard TLE on TV" threads. I don't wanna hear about how you heard Roll On playing on the tennis coverage. This is for really obscure and unexpected TLE references.

For example. In the short running, but very funny American sitcom "Off Centre" (Created by one of the makers of American Pie), there is a Roll On block mount poster hanging by the door of the flat that features in the show.


Sarah has just mention in Headlines how a Groove Terminator film clip features a magazine with TLE on the cover.

And an Episode of Charmed featured a TLE poster.

And a Sarah McLeod film clip had Tour posters on the wall in one of the scenes.

Please, discuss and add any more!!

Screen Caps or photos would be awesome. (I'll try to cap Off Centre tonight!)

[orderoftheday]

i'm pretty sure i saw a roll on poster in an episode of secret life of us once, it was in the fu-bar i think. i always found it pretty cool

[*M!]

i'm surprised secret life was able to get away with calling one of the places on it Fu-bar... :eek:

*shrugs*

i shall do some train spotting but alas - there is very little available for me here to look at for obscurities

cool thread Glenn!

*M!

[Jodez]

Glenn how did you find out all that stuff? you amaze me heh....
I dont beleive i have seen anything like that....

[Madtwins]

that's really nice info!
:)
We also know one thing but we sure it's not rare because we saw it here in ukraine. It was aussie movie, we don't remember a title - about school boys-cheaters, and how they try to cheat on exams. It was an Prisoner of society song in soundtrack.... h-m-m, not sure maybe it was a Second solution? It's a 6 PM o'clock now, and we are totally tired.

[Liz]

And coming back from an ad break at the arias they played Til The End.
I picked it and started giggling.
Everyone looked at me. :rolleyes:

[Aaron]

This is for really obscure and unexpected TLE references.
So, Erin and Liz, let's try to keep the thread uncluttered, yeah?

I can't think of any.

[Erin]

...whoops!!

its gone now...sorry 'bout that

[Kev]

Home And Away's old drop in centre had a RO poster at one stage.

[cammo]

In one episode of The OC two seasons ago Seth had a US Modern Artillery poster hanging in his bedroom.

[Tyler_who]

In the Arias they also had when Jhonny Knoxville was coming out they had a loop of Black Cat which i thought was pretty cool

[Aaron]

Attn: Tyler.

[Julian]

It's not obscure but JJJ played One Step Behind tonight. Nice to hear it get a play on the radio.

[The Dying Start]

Thanks to those of you doing the right thing.

Any chance of not deleting posts either? It's more cluttering than the talk of stupid things. You should just edit your posts to something relevant perhaps.

[hillaas]

No problemo!

I think that on sports tonight they use Long Live the Weekend coming or going to ads occasionaly. I think thats the right show.

[The Dying Start]

You're a fucken idiot.

[Adele]

Once on the aussie sketch comedy 'big bite' there was a sketch done on a tle fan in a large festival situation, bdo or homebake probably.. can't remember.

Interviewer; Were here with the living ends biggest fan!!1!!111.. So are you excited to see your favorite band??!?!1?
TLE Fan; Oh, uh yeah.. *raises beer*

Basically the interviewer was just really enthused and the tle fan wouldn't have a bar of it and was how you would generalize the average tle fan to be... early 20's, male, sunnies, beer in hand and couldn't give a f**k.


edit Wow that's a lot of deleted posts.

[The Dying Start]

Hahaha, that's a good one Adele!

[tle4me]

if you watch the film clip for "joker and the theif", the lve one on channle v big day out NOT THE ONE WITH JACKASS!!! you see scotty watching them from the side with this huge ass grin.

[Emily]

i think it was Tapdogs...you know that movie. I only saw it coz it was on TV when i was on here...anyways All Torn Down plays for a minute or so in a scene. I found that amazing...

[*M!]

i was looking through a music magazine yesterday with all these Christmas Specials (as you do)

the ad for Gretch's had something to the effect of "this sound is the living end"

it's a bit tangential but i thought somewhat appropriate...

i'll get a scan and whack it in here when i get the chance to use the computer at home that has the scanner

*M!

[dirty man]

thats obscure????

[*M!]

it's more obscure and more appropriate than some of the things in this thread - when i stumble across something less tangential i shall mention it - otherwise that's all i've got for now

*M!

[dirty man]

maybe you shouldn't have posted then, though im glad, i wanna see that pick
but i like arguing more

haha I remember that!! yay

[The Dying Start]

thats obscure????

It is pretty damn obscure, yes.

Alot more obscure than "They played TLE to the add" or "TLE was in this movie soundtrack!" which i specifically told people not to post.

[Liz]

Yesterday we had our Middle School Assembly and our principal said a speech about this year and the things that have happened etc. and she talked about the Triple J One Night Stand. She then said "Long live The Living End." I know it's not much. But I thought I'd post it anyway.

[Erin]

i was watching 'the real seachange' and a guy was stocking blunt magazines with the living end on the front cover

[The Dying Start]

Nice one Erin!

[hillaas]

OK. I searched the whole forum and this seems like the best thread to post this.

I got "PEPSI ROCK" for my birthday a few months ago and played it today and realised that i hadn't posted about this album here.
"One Said To The Other" is one of the Fearured tracks on the album.
Not sure if this is old news or not but there you go!

Anyway, here (http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6980847/a/Pepsi+Rock.htm) is a track list of the CD.

[Liz]

Wake Up's on the Barbie Summer Hits album. :eek:

[Erin]

they're on a lot of CDs :D

[hillaas]

Pfft. Pepsi rock beats Barbie!

[Liz]

My thoughts exactly.

[The Dying Start]

Hate to break it to you, but a band being featured on a compilation CD is hardly an obscure occurence.

[Colezy]

This probably doesn't count, but I'm going to say it anyway :p

I am just about to pay for some TLE stuff on ebay and the seller is in Germany. The TLE reference comes in here. You know how on the FHOI dvd, the guys are in Germany and they're looking out the car(?) window and saying out loud the names of the shops in the street (World of Sex, etc.).
Anyway, there is a place called Hamburger Sparkasse and there is a nice close up shot of the building. WELL! The name of the bank of the ebay seller is called "Sparkasse Lüdenscheid".

Yeah. Not quite what this thread is about, but its close and I am EXTREMELY bored right now. Plus, its probably a tad more relevant than some of the other posts made in this thread(?).

[The Dying Start]

That's pretty obscure. I'll pay that for extreme obscurity value.

[Disease]

:p That is an AWESOME obscure reference. I love it.

[Colezy]

Haha, thanks guys! :p

[The Dying Start]

The ferret strikes again!

[AlinaPOW]

There's this band, I'm not sure who they are but they seem okay. Anyway, I saw one of their video clips and I'm 70% certain the song's called I Can't Give You What I Haven't Got. That or Don't Go Getting Yourself In A Knot. Point being, in the clip, there were SO many TLE references... it was RIDICULOUS

I'm tired from an 18th last night, it's not my fault. We moshed to West End Riot and Carry Me Home and many others 'till the wee hours of the night. Fell asleep at 4. Woke up at 8:30 and all refused to go back to sleep.

[The Dying Start]

When was this? And why haven't you sourced the name of the band yet?

[AlinaPOW]

Wait... are you being sarcastic about my sarcasm, or are you serious? I'm so confused!

[The Dying Start]

I'm always serious. You know me.

[hillaas]

I think it's Green Day but i might be wrong.

[The Dying Start]

No, you're probably right! :p

[Emily]

can anyone chase this up? im innnnnnnnnterested.

[The Dying Start]

Hahaha. I think we've got a sucker!

[Allanah]

I don't know if a quote from my mum counts as an obscure reference, but it's kind of relevant.
I was getting ready for work one day, and I work in a bakery and the uniform is a red shirt with checkered black and white shorts (attractive, I know) and my mum says, "Black and red always looks so smart! All you need now is a stripey tshirt and you'd be a Living End doll!"
...I found it funny, she said I kind of weirdly...I guess you had to be there...

[hillaas]

Haha..Mel made you!

[Allanah]

That she did...?
I'll pretend to know what we are talking about...

[mel_bound]

haha Andre you idiot :p

I (Mel) made dolls of TLE, hence the 'TLE dolls' thing.

[Allanah]

I see... noice. I made a Johnny Rzeznik doll for my friend for christmas... kind of relevant but not...

[damo0945]

Scott Owen is in a DVD i have, i think its blink 182: urethra chronicles

[hillaas]

First time i read that i thought you wrote "Scott Owen is in a DVD i HATE'. I was like "How can you hate Blink?"

[The Dying Start]

Scott Owen is in a DVD i have, i think its blink 182: urethra chronicles

Is he in that one? Where abouts? I don't have it. Urethra Chronicles 2 is better anyway.

[AlinaPOW]

can anyone chase this up? im innnnnnnnnterested.

Ahahaha! Aw man, my stupid post was so worth it for that :D

[damo0945]

Is he in that one? Where abouts? I don't have it. Urethra Chronicles 2 is better anyway.

Is there a friends section? i think thats the bit, somewhere near the end.

[The Dying Start]

Hahaha. Well that's nice. Blink 182's bassist in From Here On In, and The Living End's bassist in the Urethra Chronicles!

[hillaas]

Where is he in FHOI?

[mel_bound]

"Dancing Hoppus"

[The Dying Start]

Warped Tour footage, Mark pops up and the caption "Dancing Hoppus" or something similar comes up. It's pretty much 5 seconds of Mark Hoppus dancing like the poon that he is.


*Edit, i posted 1 min after Andre did, but the message didn't send and i minimised the window. Crazy stuff. It does that on occasion

[mel_bound]

Strange. But I won :p

I wouldn't have said 5 seconds, it's more like one second, it goes past very quick. Wouldn't mind seeing the Scotty bit on the Blink doco. I think it might be at the local vid library. Excellent.

[The Dying Start]

Do you have a DVD drive in your PC, Mel_lyChristmas?

[mel_bound]

Yup, I'll see what I can do about it if I can find it at the library :)
I'm presuming you asked so I would share it with everyone. hehe.

[hillaas]

I'd take a copy!

[The Dying Start]

Yup, I'll see what I can do about it if I can find it at the library :)

You presume correctly!

[AlinaPOW]

Hooray, I can finally contribute to this thread seriously!
So today at work experience, amongst a shiteload of freebies, I found a press releas for The Resignators in regards to their Offbeat Feeling EP.
Last paragraph...

"Offbeat Feeling" is one of the most exciting releases in it's genre to come out since The Living End released Hellbound in 1996....

[dirty man]

Do you have a DVD drive in your PC, Mel_lyChristmas?

hahaha Mel_lyChristmas

[Armistice]

I thought this was going to be like a Family Guy referance

"My god, this was worse than that one time Andy... "

[mel_bound]

I thought this was going to be like a Family Guy referance

"My god, this was worse than that one time Andy... "

bahaha, if you can come up with anything more random than Family Guy you deserve a medal!! but nah, this isn't the thread for it. hehe.

And Mel-ly Christmas isn't that great a joke :p

[Tyler_who]

And Mel-ly Christmas isn't that great a joke :p

Mel-ly christmas, ha ha, i get it, me am smart

[The Dying Start]

Congratulations to all! :p

[Infiction]

So much for this thread not getting off topic, oh well tis' the season!

[The Dying Start]

People will settle down in a minute. You just watch.

[AlinaPOW]

Awww, I felt proud of my obscure reference, but now, as usual it was overshadowed by Mel and Glenn.

[Ally]

:p

[AlinaPOW]

Bwahahaha! I love your sarcasm oh Bayswatery one :D

[The Dying Start]

No really. We're excited for you!

[AlinaPOW]

Oh I just LOVE how much you all genuinally care!

It's in slightly bad taste for me to notice this and then instantly think "TLE!" But when the bushfires got super serious all the headlines said "State of Emergency"... not to mention that they're Headlines

[Colezy]

Hahaha! Oh deary me, Alina! :p

[Erin]

its obscure...

[The Dying Start]

Don't worry, in a few months time there will be call-back news items on how all the sapplings are "Rising Up From The Ashes"

[AlinaPOW]

Haha, good call yo!

[The Dying Start]

You'll be able to Read About It in the paper.

[AlinaPOW]

Stop, you're gonna give me a stich! Nah I'm not laughing THAT much

[The Dying Start]

If your sides split you'll no doubt have Blood On Your Hands

[AlinaPOW]

Aaaaargh! I hate to admit it, but this is cracking me up!

[The Dying Start]

I think she's reached the point of No Return!

[AlinaPOW]

Dude, all I can say is... read the white.

[The Dying Start]

I did, but I didn't see the Problem.

[Jodez]

Not sure if this really goes here but

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Oc6ZDrpKVw

[Erin]

:D yeah, thats in the video thread

[The Dying Start]

So obscure that it actually INVOLVES The Living End!

[Loo C]

I'm not sure whether this really counts as an obscure reference but The Living End get a mention in a fair few thank-yous on other albums....eg Matt Handley's Won't Get Over You ("Would be nowt without.....blah blah.....Andy, Chris, Scott.....blah.....) and Bitter and Twisted by Area 7 ("Props to the bands we know, love and respect.....blah blah....The Living End...." and in Chucky's thank-yous "Thanks to:....Chris Cheney for the loan of the Matchless").

[Julian]

Chris wrote a couple of paragraphs in tribute to Bodyjar in their Jarchives album. But i'm sure all the cool people already know this

[Liz]

In a Grinspoon myspace bulletin there was a review from some festival and at the end it said something mentioning TLE. I'll try and find it.

[The Dying Start]

That's a good one Lucy!

There are other albums that i can't think of right now.

Oh yes. Blink 182 - Enema Of The State.

[Sarah]

and everytime the Green Day guys open their mouths they end up craping on about how awsome TLE are :)

[The Dying Start]

Which is always a good thing!

[Rosie28]

Chris wrote a couple of paragraphs in tribute to Bodyjar in their Jarchives album. But i'm sure all the cool people already know this

I knew that :cool:

[The Dying Start]

Me too. But I'm lucky enough to have a Bodyjar authority passing on these secrets.

[damo0945]

i'm not sure what you're talking about but i knew as well. And in the thankyous as well.

[The Dying Start]

Of course they appear on the Barnesy double happiness dvd, and the Hoodoo Gurus dvd.

[AlinaPOW]

According to a couple of mates of mine, Who's Gonna Save Us was played on Laguna Beach. Stupid scummy show, I just thought that was really random...

[-Amy-]

Yeah, it was played on that show.

[AlinaPOW]

I've been staying at a friends for the last week and there's four of us there (i'm home for New Years) and there was a Laguna Beach marathon. That was torture like nothing else...

[-Amy-]

A laguna beach marathon? "what is this world comming to?" ...
Any way, i've only every watched laguna beach once, and it happened to be the day they played the TLE song... what luck

[AlinaPOW]

Oh yeah, that's what they all say :p

[-Amy-]

eh, have it your way...

[AlinaPOW]

Okay, thanks :p

[-Amy-]

Any time! :p

"OoOoOo I ...Like... Love Laguna Beach and i ... er... Watch it everyday!" :rolleyes:

[-Amy-]

Argh, i can't believe i just said that... :p

[Liz]

I hate the ad on TV.

"Urgh! Drama! Now where'd I park the Porsche?"

The funny thing is, I know someone who speaks like that. :p :eek:

[The Dying Start]

Anyway, just in case you were under the impression that this was the "Bullshit waste of time trashy soap TV" thread, check the title.

[AlinaPOW]

Sorry, I'll go hang my head in shame now.

[The Dying Start]

And see that you do.

[kelso]

we all know that Carry Me Home is in Guitar Hero II, yeah?

[Kev]

we all know that Carry Me Home is in Guitar Hero II, yeah?

Yeah have know about this for quite sometime.

There were multiple threads about it.

[kelso]

mmk

sorry about that
just checkin

[Jodez]

Second Solution was half played on SEN am radio at like 3ish this morning..

[The Dying Start]

Half played? That's a cop out!

[Odessa]

I dont know if this has been mentioned before or if its appropriate but a while ago The Living End were the subject of a question on Temptation (well kinda) - I'm paraphrasing alot but it was something along the lines of "the lead singer/guitarist from band The Living End, Chris, shares his surname with which former U.S secretary of defence...".

So it's only half a Living End question but I found it surprising and obscure. If someone remembers the actual question that would be good, 'cos I'm sure I've got it wrong.

[Watty]

I was watching the old Batman and Robin movie on TV today and at the beginning of the ending credits it read 'The End' and then it changed to 'The Living End?', which I found quite amusing. This has nothing really to do with the TLE, but I just felt like posting it anyway.

That's how alot of old films end, and is where Chris and Scott got the name from...only they were watching Rock Around The Clock i think.

[-George-]

Once on the aussie sketch comedy 'big bite' there was a sketch done on a tle fan in a large festival situation, bdo or homebake probably.. can't remember.

Interviewer; Were here with the living ends biggest fan!!1!!111.. So are you excited to see your favorite band??!?!1?
TLE Fan; Oh, uh yeah.. *raises beer*

Basically the interviewer was just really enthused and the tle fan wouldn't have a bar of it and was how you would generalize the average tle fan to be... early 20's, male, sunnies, beer in hand and couldn't give a f**k.


HAHAH. I have that on video.

Interviewer: So who are you here to see?
Unenthused Guy: ..The living end.
Interviewer: WICKEDDDD!!! I bet you saved all your money to buy all their albums!
Unenthused Guy: Nah, I just downloaded em..

Haha. So funny....

[The Dying Start]

Awww...I wish we could get that uploaded somehow.

[Colezy]

Quick! George - mail a copy to someone who can upload it from VHS!! :p

[-George-]

someone give me an address and i shall!
..thats assuming i still have it... someone might have taped over it though.

I KNOW! I'll just get my mum to put it on my TLE DVD that shes making for me via the VHS/DVD recorder.. and then get it onto my computer somehow... :)

[Colezy]

Our George is one smart cookie! :D

[Liz]

Second Solution was half played on SEN am radio at like 3ish this morning..

That's like when I heard Pictures In the Mirror on Triple J once, and they cut out the whole second verse.

[The Dying Start]

I KNOW! I'll just get my mum to put it on my TLE DVD that shes making for me via the VHS/DVD recorder.. and then get it onto my computer somehow... :)

I will gladly instruct you on how to do that last step, when you reach that stage.

You will of course require a DVD drive in your Computer.

edit Wow that's a lot of deleted posts.

Big Bite? That's out on DVD now, I think. Released early November last year?

[The Dying Start]

Oh awesome. Somone should buy it! ;)

[Rock'n'Roll]

Rock Around The Clock is on Ovation a few times in the next week. It ends with the words 'The Living End', and thats where TLE got their name from.. but i'm sure we all knew that ;) It's worth watching just for the scenes with Bill Haley and The Comets.

[Erin]

it was on today, but i missed out by only a few minutes :(

*edit* it was on again :cool:

[GoodOrEvil]

Oh awesome. Somone should buy it! ;)

I probably could, but it'd be a few weeks before I can get it onto the PC and upload it to YouTube.

[mel_bound]

Can't find the urethra chronicles. I'll let you know if I do!

[Erin]

have i mentioned this before?
TLE are mentioned in about 5 questions in 'Buzz the music quiz' (ha, outa about 1000 questions)
i remember a few of 'em

1. who is this band (playing second solution)
2.what is this song (same song)
3. the lead singer of this band played in which supergroup (same song)
cant remember the other two

really? I've played that a billion times and never got a question like that :eek:

[Liz]

There's TLE question on Molly's Music Trivia DVD Game or whatever it's called.

Who is the lead singer and guitarist of The Living End?

[Johnny_Wah]

Goodness, those quiz thingies leave out the other fellas an awful lot don't they.

[Erin]

really? I've played that a billion times and never got a question like that :eek:

i got it in 2005, and i still get questions i've never answered before, there's like, 1000-5000 questions!

the first time i saw the question i freaked and pressed the wrong button :o

[Liz]

That's what I did when I got the Chris question in the Molly Meldrum Trivia Game. :p

[The Dying Start]

Goodness, those quiz thingies leave out the other fellas an awful lot don't they.

Unfortunately the other lads get left out of alot of things. Chris tends to be chief spokesman for the band alot of the time, and thus tends to attract most attention.

[Grumma]

As a general rule singers get the most public attention

[The Dying Start]

Chris isn't a singer, he's a guitarist. :p

[Grumma]

Well I'm 100% sure Glenn, but I haven't seen any so called "singers" performing with them lately :p

[Johnny_Wah]

double whammy glenn.

[The Dying Start]

Well I'm 100% sure Glenn, but I haven't seen any so called "singers" performing with them lately :p

I haven't either. They do have a guitarist who can hold a tune though.

[Liz]

I dunno if this is really obscure or anything but on Triple J this morning Jay and the Doctor and Myf were talking about how the BDO commitee is going to plant trees or something and they suggested naming the trees after muscians and said the 'Chris Cheney tree'. They also said that they need someone going around telling off the bands for doing un-environmental things and said something about someone going up to Chris and telling him he's using too much hairspray.

[Emily]

I haven't either. They do have a guitarist who can hold a tune though.

i hear he's pretty easy on the eyes too:p

Anyways I Don't Know If This Counts As An Obscure Reference But I Was Just Watching The Cricket And The Commentator Was Saying Something I Can't Remember What It Was But Anyway He Used The Phrase "From Here On In"... :p

You have similar handwriting to Chris. I shit you not. I thought you'd got him to write on it at first, and then i read the post.

[Tyler_who]

If anyone wants to know ive got that Blink 182: Urethra Chronicles right in front of me from the library but i havent watched it yet. What happens that tle is related to in it? I read before someone was talking bout it.

[AlinaPOW]

Oh really? As Zoidburg would say "What an honour!" Haha, I'm inadvertantly chanelling Chris, be cool if I could just get him to come over and write stuff for me, but no.

Apparently Scotty's in it a little bit.

It seemed legitimately stupendous that you might have found said image and taken it with you to a gig or some such. But yes; congratulations on having Cheney-esque handstyles.

[Erin]

its TLE related, sorta

at last years logie awards, when they were showing the nominations for quiz show and light entertainment, when it was spicks and specks turn, they showed one of their episodes, coinsidentaly Chris was in it, twice :D

[The Dying Start]

That's because he's the hottest guest they've had on! :p

[Johnny_Wah]

Sharp Glenn. Sharp.

I know a dude who's name is Bruce Sharp... best. Name. Ever.
Back to topic, that was also pretty much the most amusing episode ever!

[Erin]

^ hell yeah, that spicks and specks ep was pretty much the highlight of the entire first season, so much went on in it...the bit where Dave O Neil and the bike had me in stiches

friggin hell can't wait 'til ABC 2 shows it.

[Johnny_Wah]

I concur. Reminiscing is fuuuuun.

[The Dying Start]

Yeah, i love remeniscing too.

Remember that time back in the summer of 2001, Johnny? You and me, laying on the back lawn smoking cones. You decided to take off your shirt to get a bit of a tan and i rubbed your glistening torso with baby oil. Of course one thing led to another and as we both lay panting in the sun we agreed never to talk about what had just happened, but i think about it alot.....almost every night. Those summer days I hold dear to my heart...

[mel_bound]

Hahahahahaa.

[Amur]

touching past-love story,Glenny!:D

anyway,need to remind someone to record that episode with Chris on spicks and specks. :p

[NowhereTown]

I havnt seen the episode with chris in it yet... it was like the only episode of spicks and specks i missed from the whole season

[The Dying Start]

That's Murphey's Law, that is!

[cammo]

OK this is on a TV show so its not that obscure but I figured because of the show it made it obscure. It was on the show 'Deadliest Catch' which is a doco on Foxtel on Discovery following a bunch of boats fishing for King Crabs off Alaska. Anyway totally American filmed and produced TV show and they had a TLE song playing in the background (my brother told me about it, so naturally he didnt remember what song)

Although pretty tiny, thought it was worth mentioning

[Colezy]

Nice work Cammo! :)

[The Dying Start]

Nice work Cammo's Bro! :)

[GoodOrEvil]

Nice work Cammo's Bro's uncle's brother's son's brother! :)

[Tyler_who]

That's Murphey's Law, that is!

Murpheys law is when there is a 50/50 chance of doing something right or doing something wrong that "If something can go wrong it will go wrong". But Murphey's law only happens when u do something wrong. So i don't if it is or not.

[The Dying Start]

I'm Irish, I'd know. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. In this case he only missed one episode and it was the one he wanted to see...that's something going wrong. It could aso be debated that there is a splash of irony involved. I'm not sure if Mr Murphy belived in Irony though. :p

[jessebelle]

I was watching the tennis this arvo and while Lleyton Hewitt was playing at the end of the 3rd set going into the ad break they played the start of the solo to West End Roit, not much but I thought I'd mention it...

[atomgal]

TLE was on Little Steven's Underground Garage (radio show) last night. I didn't hear it, but my boyfriend said he played LLTW and was really talking up the band. Hooray!

Managed to catch (fishing show, get it, ha) the episode and it was 'Til The End. Pretty good effort seeing as though there is very little music in that show at all, let alone an Australian band

[Colezy]

I was watching The Bill last night and when someone was being interviewed in their house, there was a shot of one of the police officers standing in front of a bookshelf/cabinet full of DVD's and CD's, which included Roll On and the FHOI DVD! :D
I also noticed the Wave Aid DVD and a few others, but this isn't a Wave Aid thread so who cares! :p

[kelso]

I bought a TLE shirt from the site store
but instead they gave me a youth large which could fit my little brother
so yesterday he wore it to school (oh he looked so cute :D ) and he told me that his 50 year old crap of a teacher noticed his shirt and said that he knew who TLE were. I didn't believe it. I've yet to contact this teacher and see if really does listen to TLE.
I have no idea how he would know who they are.
they're never on the radio here or on tv (sad, I know)
but nonetheless, how does this old fart teacher know of them!
I doubt he goes on myspace lol
anyway

I dont really know if its an obscure reference, but yeah wanted to say it because its an odd happening that involved TLE

[Jodez]

SEN keep playing whats on your radio after the news sometimes- but only a small part of it, just like POS as well.

[Colezy]

What's SEN?

[kelso]

yeah whats SEN?
and they did play WOYR on the radio station here
and it was back in July couple days before the album was released here
and they only played it once

That's fucken awesome!

[Colezy]

I thought so too!
When I was watching it, I thought "wait a minute... *moves closer to tv screen*...heeeey, it's TLE!" haha

[Colezy]

Also, anyone who is a Gyroscope fan or has heard their song Beware Wolf, would you say that the drumming at the start of BW is similar to the drumming throughout Wake Up??

It's nothing too obscure, but I thought I'd ask anyway :)

[Watty]

I just listened to them both then, and yeah the drumming does sound simliar. I never noticed that before! haha

[Neo]

Yes! when I first heard beware wolf, I thought it was wake up.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I noticed that too. But I didn't think anything of it.

[The Dying Start]

Never really thought of it at all, but yes...similar ineed.

[Colezy]

Yay - glad to know I'm not alone! :p

[Bec]

Yeah I noticed that the first time I heard it too.. which was at the TLE gig where they were supporting

[Colezy]

I'd been meaning to ask that question for ages now, but only just remembered the other night.

[Jodez]

What's SEN?

SEN is a AM radio station - which they mainly tallk about sport.

[Colezy]

Cool - thanks for letting me know! :)

[Jodez]

No worries! i was listening to the news and it happend to on after it

[The Dying Start]

Maria has an obscure reference, but she's too chicken to come on and post it.

[Johnny_Wah]

In the Guitarist Australia magazine with Andrew Stockdale on the cover (September '06 I think?), The Living End is mentioned 3 times. (It's my friend's magazine)

1. The guitarist from Regurgitator says that he'll never be like Chris Cheney, or something along the lines of that.
2. It is mentioned in the Wolfmother article that Andrew Stockdale borrowed an amp off Chris.
3. An interview with The Butterfly Effect says something about TLE touring with AC/DC - "The Living End got to tour with AC/DC, the bastards."

They're probably wrong so if ya wanna correct them - go ahead.

[kelso]

umm
I was at Red Robin yesterday and there was a framed old cover of a "Lone Ranger" comic book and I immediatly thought of TLE's little song :D

[Amur]

does it's so little?:D

[Neo]

my brother was watching this show called hot source or hot sauce or whatever it is, and the boys came on and did one of those things that they do before going to the ads where they said something like "hi, we're andy, chris, scott from the living end and you're watching hot source". It made my day :D

[Johnny_Wah]

I just remembered. It wasn't Regurgitator - it was the guitarist from Jebadiah!

[Julian]

Kevin Mitchell?

[Johnny_Wah]

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing Chris Daymond because he's lead guitarist.

[Sarah]

I have half that episode that they actually appeared on...it's quality television! :D

[The Dying Start]

Hahahahaha...I think I remember that beig mentioned years ago.

[Erin]

i remember on an ep of S&S they were talking to Dave O Neil between rounds, Adam asked what bands he liked/ liked playing on the radio. he replied with 'yeah i have a few...umm...the living end...its a shame i can't play them that often' or 'i try and play them often' or something like that, then they talked about the obsene ammount of nickelback on the radio

but yeahh.. something along the lines of that.

[Aaron]

*Nods* I remember that.

[The Dying Start]

I don't. But Dave is a champ.

[gaby2121]

yeah pretty weird i was in mexico!
and it was like 5 in the morning and umm SUPER DOG came on
supercan in spanish and like im watching it and it was like"SUPERCAN PRESENTS THE LIVING END!"
i was like shit! whats going on!
so after 15 mins in into the cartoon i found out why it was called THE LIVING END!
it turns out the dogs tail came off and was running around and they coulnt catch it!, so i figuere out the living end as in the End as in the tail and it was Living so there it is.
I got my hopes up for nothing lol

lol:D

[Disease]

Hahahaha.. I think this belongs in the obscure references thread. ;)

[Kev]

Hopefully I merged this correctly.

If you read this in the Obscure References thread, then its been done correctly and you can ignore this post.

Thnks for those. I think the Tony Hawk one was mentioned many moons ago...I'm not sure. And we knew about Guitar Hero more recently. I think the Sprint Car one is news to us all though! Awesome!

I am totally sure that the Atlas has spelt the name of a town in Tasmania wrong...
They spelt it: STRAHAN....
But what they ment to say: STRACHAN
YAY! Andy has his own town named after him!!!!
GO ANDY!!!!

[Colezy]

Heh. It's Strahan :p
Should be Strachan though!

At YOUTHSURGE tonight, (its part of our youthgroup), we watched a film clip:
The Beginners Guide To Packing A Car Boot (made by the youthsurgers in sydney)
As soon as it started, ENGLISH ARMY came on and I was like WOO!! TLE!!!
Everyone looked at me strange and my friend told me if sang she would leave and go sit on the other side of the building.. IT WAS SOO HARD!
Just like the English army..... !

[worry_rock]

I've already forgotten the actual quote, but in the Elvis Presley movie "Double Trouble", the very last line of the movie is "It's the absolute loving, living end". Or something like that. But definitely "living end" :p

[-George-]

I still havent gotten around to getting hold of that episode of Big Bite with the unenthused TLE fan.
But I will one day!!!

For now, heres a crossword I did a few months ago:

*edit* Also, this may have been mentioned already, but Roll On is featured in the movie Van Wilder. :)

*edit* Also, this may have been mentioned already, but Roll On is featured in the movie Van Wilder. :)

it is??? I've seen it about 150 times and never noticed...ill take more care next time

[E.B.]

It might not be in the movie but its in the soundtrack

[Colezy]

I don't think a soundtrack would feature a song if it wasn't in the movie..would it?? That's silly if it does! :p

I'm pretty sure its in the movie though.

[-George-]

Yes, its IN the actual movie :)

[Grumma]

I don't think a soundtrack would feature a song if it wasn't in the movie..would it?? That's silly if it does! :p


I can guarantee that it happens frequently

[-George-]

Sometimes the soundtrack features songs that are in the end credits, not the actual movie.. but Roll on is IN the movie, I promise.

[Grumma]

Well the movie "Rock Star" has songs that were written specifically for the movie that are on the soundtrack but not the movie. And also visa versa
