The Stupid Questions Thread

[Habibster]

i have never realised that some copies of the Nothing Lasts Forever single have an enhanced section...

http://www.thelivingend.com.au/onlinestore/proddetail.php?prod=S80&cat=7

:)

[Colezy]

I think they've just copied the text from the POS/SS single. Those two tracks are on that single.

[ace_jase]

No worries guys

what did you think of the new- old song?

[Colezy]

I love it and the rest of the stuff (but you already knew that!).

I love hearing stuff from bands before they were well known! :D

[atomgal]

I love the "new-old" song - thanks so much for that! :D

So here's a stupid question. I was watching the FHOI DVD this morning and I got to thinking - has anyone heard any of the demos for the Roll On sessions? The way Chris and Scott talked about how complicated and all-over-the-place the songs were really intrigued me.

Just wondering if anything like that ever had or ever will surface.

[Evil Chris]

I love it and the rest of the stuff (but you already knew that!).

I love hearing stuff from bands before they were well known! :D

because what makes them famous is stuff written before they were well known

[Kacky]

what did you think of the new- old song?

Looooooooooove! :D

[Colezy]

How long did Trav use a double kick for??

[The Dying Start]

2000-2001. And not the whole time. He used to just crank it out when he was in the mood.

[May]

I remember talking to him about it at the 2000 LATW.
He was all excited about the idea of using it on the ACDC tour :)

[Colezy]

Cool, thanks for the answers!

I'd been meaning to ask that one for a while now!

[gaby2121]

Does any one know what Chris has writing on hes hand in the video of E-boogie. it's in the From Here On In DVD the super gig I could not figure it out.

[Shadow]

Didn't want to make a new thread about it but my question is:

Who produced the track 'Ready'?

For those who don't know, it's that 0:34 second song and it's off a massive short-song compilation which i've forgotten the name of.

[RollOn]

Short songs for short people, if i'm not mistaken.

[Sarah]

Short Music for Short People


unfortunately no information to answer you question in the liner notes.

[Evil Chris]

does anyone who has the Record let us know?

[mel_bound]

does anyone who has the Record let us know?

Sarah just said that there was no information in the liner notes! Honestly do you actually ever read the forum?

[Evil Chris]

what are linear notes?

[mel_bound]

Liner notes are the notes inside a CD booklet.

[Evil Chris]

Sorry for saying Linear, I was studying for a maths exam.


Thanks.

[RollOn]

does anyone who has the Record let us know?

That wasn't even a sentence.

[Sarah]

Sorry for saying Linear, I was studying for a maths exam.


Thanks.


perhaps you should have been studying English

[bollock head]

Why can't I get any CD's from HMV/Virgin shops in the UK? I can only get Living End CD's online. My only reasoning is that this band are the worlds best musical secret.

[thelivingvines]

you can, state of emergency isn't out here yet but I have seen it on import. They always put them in the metal or punk section rather than anywhere else though. I see them more in virgin than i do in HMV.
My band is the worlds best musical secret so your theory is sadly incorrect. :)

[gaby2121]

shouldn't this be posted in the stupid question thread.

but I also see TLE cds in virgin.

[Sarah]

Have you tried asking at the counter? Perhaps they are sold out when you are there, if you ask they probably get you one in AND probably get more in so all the other people that don't ask can buy them too :)

[kelso]

um
well why is your name bollock head?

[RollOn]

um
well why is your name bollock head?

*chuckles*
Good call, it certainly begs the question!

[Johnny_Wah]

Has In The End ever been performed live?

[bollock head]

Well they don't even have a tag, so they can't of sold out. I will check the bigger stores.

My name is bollock head because during signing up I wanted to be bollock brain, but forgot, hence my name is now bollock head.

[Jake]

Some bigger stores do stock releases, mostly MA and SOE, but I'm sure I once saw the double-set of Hellbound/IFYOG.

If they don't have it, take in the details of it (record label etc) and they can probably get it in for you, but because they'll be getting it in as an import, it'll cost more (I saw SOE at £18 when it first came out). Ordering online, either from the official store or from an Aussie music shop, will probably work out cheaper (especially with free postage on the official store at the moment ;) )

[Kev]

The topic 'WHY?' has been merged with the stupid questions thread. :)

[The Dying Start]

Why? willy wacker

[RollOn]

Why? willy wacker

I knew that was coming! :rolleyes:

[Weston]

Does anyone know the story behind Revolution Regained on the Dirty Man EP? I only heard the preview on iTunes just now, and it sounds like an oddball loungey reggae cover in Korean. Definitely Revolution Regained, though...

[Kev]

The song was covered by the Dili All Stars.

See their website here: http://www.diliallstars.com/

or
http://www.myspace.com/diliallstars

[gaby2121]

Its funny how in the video I can't give you what I haven't got they try to block Trav as much as possible. in the beginning when the guy is in the room look at the posters where Travis is there one is blurry the other one the guy blocks and some he is not even in the actual picture look around you will see.

I don't even know what stupid question is this.

[Johnny_Wah]

How come TLE didn't play stadium shows last year?

[Neo]

How come TLE didn't play stadium shows last year? they played with the Rolling Stones... that was at a stadium ;)

[Colezy]

Wasn't the first SOE tour in May meant to be a sort of stadium tour?? They wouldn't want to play anything bigger than those venues, surely.

[Bec]

Its funny how in the video I can't give you what I haven't got they try to block Trav as much as possible. in the beginning when the guy is in the room look at the posters where Travis is there one is blurry the other one the guy blocks and some he is not even in the actual picture look around you will see.

I don't even know what stupid question is this.

I personally thought that was a bit sad..

[mel_bound]

Same, I think TLE HQ said it wasn't on purpose or something though.

[Johnny_Wah]

OF COURSE it was on purpose. gosh.

[mel_bound]

Yes, but TLE HQ said it wasn't on purpose.. I don't believe that though :p

[Sarah]

i was a bit disappointed when I saw these guys play earlier this year that they didn't play RR

[bollock head]

Where did my message go? I can't find the answer/s to my message.

[May]

How come TLE didn't play stadium shows last year?

Personally, I dread the day when TLE are a 'stadium' rock band.
Sure it'd be great for their hip-pocket, but a good sized festival crowd, is about the most I'd want to see them play to.
TLE excel at small to mid-size shows, but start to lose that all enthralling 'wow' element, the larger the gig - in my experiance...

As for the Rolling Stones gig... While it was great to see them support their idols, they really struggled to win over the crowd. They seemed so tiny on stage. Know what I mean? Usually they come on, and own the stage. Was weird...

[The Dying Start]

3 small blokes on a bloody big stage!

[RollOn]

Where did my message go? I can't find the answer/s to my message.

It must have bollocked off.

[Evil Chris]

Does anyone think that Strange is simmilar to Longview by Green Day?

There is a striking similarity.

[gaby2121]

Prob because they both start with bass and drums but the sound is different.



Alot of bands do that.bass/drum intro then blast off the guitar.

[Bec]

Does anyone think that Strange is simmilar to Longview by Green Day?

There is a striking similarity.

How so? =\

[mel_bound]

Striking?
Hahahaha hah ahaha ahaaa.
Like Gaby said, it's just the bass and drums thing, and lots of bands do that.

[Sarah]

Stupid question:

Are Green Day and The Living End actually the same band? Their songs performed on stage by the faces we know, but actually their music is by a group called Milli Vanilli...

Apparently all Green Day songs sound like TLE songs or vice versa, so this must be the only explination :)

Oldies - remember the Hitching A Ride fiasco? haha

[gaby2121]

I have no idea what you are trying to say but one thing I know The Living End are better then Greenday(sorry if I offend any one) I don't know but I don't think Green Day sounds like TLE well they are in the same pop punk/alternative thing.Some poeple might put it that way.

Even though I'm a big GD and TLE fan I just know there is something that separates them.

[Johnny_Wah]

Oldies - remember the Hitching A Ride fiasco? haha

http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200308/r7959_18366.jpg
please explain

[Sarah]

sorry it's top secret :p

[atomgal]

My old band used to play a medley of Hitchin' a Ride->Stray Cat Strut->Uncle Harry. It was fun.

So... what's this about Hitchin' a Ride?

[bringin' it all back home]

This is a really stupid question, so I thought I would put it here.

I've been reading a book called " God's Smuggler - Brother Andrew ",
And this Andrew man was called Andy for short.

I was wondering if Andy's name is just Andy, or is it something else?

Thanks!

[mel_bound]

Andy is a very common nickname for Andrew and yes our Andy's full name is Andrew Douglas Strachan
^_^

[gaby2121]

I shall call him doug!

[bringin' it all back home]

Coolies!

Thanks!

Oh, now a rather stupid and embarrassing question...

I had a dream the other week ago, and am really confused now.

Is Chris Cheney's last name really Cheney?

Sure, it probably 100% totally is, but please make my dream confusion stop!

I woke up and thought.. hey, is his name Cheney? Because these people in my dream told me it was like Chenitla

Strange..

[Colezy]

I *love* the dame Douglas!! :p

Because these people in my dream told me it was like Chenitla
Ahaha, that made my day! :D

[Bec]

Hahaha Douglas :D

And yes, his last name is Cheney :)

Unless he's been lieing all these years and decided the best way to tell us was via your dreams.. you never know!

[Colezy]

I didn't mean for my laughing to sound mean either!

[bringin' it all back home]

Ha ha ha yes..

I have a confession...

I am the promised TLE truth person thingo...

Well, thank you for answering my questions :D

[Kacky]

Andy is a very common nickname for Andrew and yes our Andy's full name is Andrew Douglas Strachan
^_^

You don't think ASCAP would lie? I hope not. :D :p

You're welcome, Mel. Haha.

In case you kids are wondering where I got such info...I got it here (http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=491488727&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=20&start=1). :D

[Jhudz]

I know this is a stupid question but what does POW on chris' guitar mean?

[mel_bound]

Chris likes the old Batman and POW is just one of the buzz words from the show, so like POW! I punched you good with my guitar solo!

[Jhudz]

that's cool, thanks mel

[mel_bound]

No worries :D

[RollOn]

If only I had a dollar for every time that question's been asked! :p

[mel_bound]

But atleast we have an answer now, rather than the whole discussion where it 'might stand for prisoner of war' and all that crap! :p

[RollOn]

haha yeah I remember that thread.
Coz Chris's guitar was totally captured as a prisoner of war :rolleyes:

[atomgal]

Maybe the POW question should go in the FAQ?

[WhitefalconTLE44]

i thought they said they were gonna put it in there, but i never checked if it actually is or not

[The Dying Start]

Oldies - remember the Hitching A Ride fiasco? haha

Hahahaha, yes, yes i do.

[AlinaPOW]

oooh oooh oooh... did it involve what "off the wagon" means???

[damo0945]

i really want to know what you're talking about...

[RollOn]

Oh man! I remember that whole thing, it went on for like 4/5 pages didn't it?

[atomgal]

i really want to know what you're talking about...

Seconded!!!

[Kacky]

Yeah, I'm confuzzled!

[WhitefalconTLE44]

same here:confused:

[The Dying Start]

I just like being old enough to know, while you all don't. Bwahahaha.

[damo0945]

ive figured out that it had something to do with the green day song 'hitchin a ride' and possibly revolved around the lyric 'off the wagon'...

[AlinaPOW]

like i said... it so was wasn't it Glenda?

[atomgal]

I just like being old enough to know, while you all don't. Bwahahaha.

Hey, I'm older than you (just not in TLE forum years)! :p

[Loo C]

Does any one know what Chris has writing on hes hand in the video of E-boogie. it's in the From Here On In DVD the super gig I could not figure it out.
The one from Splendour? If so, he has "Uncle Harry" written on his hand.

[May]

Stupid question:

Are Green Day and The Living End actually the same band? Their songs performed on stage by the faces we know, but actually their music is by a group called Milli Vanilli...

Apparently all Green Day songs sound like TLE songs or vice versa, so this must be the only explination :)

Oldies - remember the Hitching A Ride fiasco? haha

Can I just state for the record that I love you Bob? :p

[Kev]

Maybe the POW question should go in the FAQ?


Its been in the FAQ for a while now...

[bringin' it all back home]

Afternoon.

Thought I would do something over the holidays, so I have decided to do a cross stich / long stitch.

Could you please direct me to a TLE logo pattern please?

[Kacky]

There's a program you can use to make cross-stitch patterns.
You can get the software here: http://www.hobbyware.com/

:)

[bringin' it all back home]

Oh thank you Chelsea!!

[Kacky]

No worries!

[Sarah]

Can I just state for the record that I love you Bob? :p

haha, love you too Mayb ;)

[bringin' it all back home]

Now, to search the house for some of that material stuff...!

[atomgal]

Cool, I want to see it when you're done! :)

Okay, I have an incredibly stupid question, so please don't laugh at my lack of knowledge of The Industry. If I order TLE albums from the web store, and they're shipped to me from Australia, do those sales count as US sales or Aussie sales? (I don't know why I think about this stuff, but I do. :p)

[Kacky]

I was wondering about that too, atomgal! Just never bothered asking. :p

[Colezy]

I'd say Aussie Sales cause they're being sold from here.

Ask Kev or someone who works in that sort of industry!

[Bec]

I'm pretty sure it's Aussie sales but I'm not positive either. I've always assumed it is.

[Colezy]

Same, I'm not 100% positive either, but I just don't see how something that is sold here can be counted as an American sale.

[atomgal]

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured, but I wasn't sure. Thanks, ladies!

[gaby2121]

Ok I have been trying to figure it out but I'm not sure.

Does Cheney wear eyeliner?
some videos I have seen it seems like it but not to much.Or maybe I'm just imaganing black eye stuff around hes eyes:D

[atomgal]

Some photographic evidence for ya! :D

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i192/atomgal22/chrismakeup3yr9qr.jpg

[gaby2121]

HAHA OMG there we go!Thank you I knew it! I'm not crazy:)

[Colezy]

According to him, he uses "Industrial strength, Robert Smith style" makeup :p

(Robert Smith is from the Cure, for those who don't know :cool:)

[May]

(Robert Smith is from the Cure, for those who don't know :cool:)

It's a sad day when that needs explaining Nicole... :p

[Burner]

I didn't know who Robert Smith was.

[May]

"I weep for the future" :cool:

[Burner]

I hope for the past.

[Colezy]

It's a sad day when that needs explaining Nicole... :p
I know, I know! *sigh!*

[gaby2121]

Does any one know what episode in The Simpsons they say The Living End?

as in this quote from Scott!


"We were too. By the gay guy. "Oh Homer, you are the living end". That was pretty funny. I remember seeing it sitting in my house with my house mates and we all just sat there and went "Bwwwwahhhhhhh". It was like how much would people pay to have their name said in The Simpsons. Then Bart says it as well, just for the icing on the cake. Just at the end of the episode Bart comes out with it too. How good is that?" - The Living End were mentioned in The Simpsons."

[damo0945]

I know, I know! *sigh!*

i only know because he sang on the last blink album...

[Colezy]

Well...at least you know! :p

[Evil Chris]

Are there any B-Sides that have been performed live other than Sunday Bloody Sunday and Blinded? They are the only 2 I've seen/heard.

[E.B.]

They did Tainted Love last year in Sydney and at One Night Stand

[Evil Chris]

oh, forgot about tainted love. I seen that too.

Anything else? I'd love to see Wrong Side of The Tracks, Mr Buisnessman & There is no radio.

[E.B.]

Yep, its an oldie (I think 96?)
It's when that gay guy becomes friends with the Simpsons and Homer starts to think that Bart is gay

[Sarah]

Hey Chris. I'm pretty sure you've been told before, but as you seen to have forgotten here goes again.

USE
THE
STUPID
QUESTION
THREAD.

OK?





And if you look at the tracklisting of TLE singles you will find that there are a number of them that have been recorded live and put onto a CD for you. I'll let you investigate those ones yourself now I've given you a head start.

[Burner]

i think its more around the 2000 mark.

[mel_bound]

Yep, its an oldie (I think 96?)

AS a simpsons buff, I'm pretty sure it was the 7th season so yes about 96/97.
AND as even more of a TLE obsessive, soundbites!
John the gay dude (http://www.freewebs.com/tle-photoshop-challenge/zzzother%20stuff/homerthelivingend.mp3)
Bart (http://www.freewebs.com/tle-photoshop-challenge/zzzother%20stuff/bartthelivingend.mp3)

[atomgal]

Aah, I'm caught in a loop... I can't get to the sound clips. :confused:

[Kacky]

The soundbites don't go to what the links say, Mel. :p They go RIGHT back to the Stupid Questions thread.

[Bec]

Try right clicking and save target as?

[Kacky]

Doh - yeah! That worked. :p

Gah! My name is not chris, You moron.

And cock head, did you read my question.

I said Bsides that have been played live. Not live tracks on a single.

[mel_bound]

You moron.
And cock head

lawl. That was really really uncalled for Evil Chris-but-your-name-apparently-isn't-really-Chris. Maybe she didn't read your post because we're so sick of seeing threads apon threads that could easily be neatly posted in here.

[Bec]

To be honest it seems more moronic to me to get angry at someone calling you by what you chose to be your username.
Regardless of whether she read your post properly, the whole point of this thread is to ask questions that don't require a whole thread of discussion and you've been on this forum long enough to know that yet still choose to blantantly ignore the guidelines that have been set.

[Colezy]

Ithought that she meant look at the singles for the b-sides..she did say look at the track listing after all. Some of the b-sides are live recordings.

[Sarah]

Some of the b-sides are live recordings.

Thank you Nicole, that was my point exactly. Maybe people should take the time to read their own posts before they abuse others.

But, all's cool. Since I'm such a cock head in future I'll refrain from trying to help ungrateful little boys with no respect.

[Evil Chris]

you were being a tool, thats why I reacted in such a harsh way.


Sorry.

And plus you didnt answer my question.

[Sarah]

Actually you were being the tool once again by once again starting another unecessary thread.

And yes I did answer you question, but I'm sorry i didn't do the hard work for you...here it is now


Singles

SS/POS - Misspent Youth and Strange - both b-sides and both LIVE

WER - Train Kept A-Rollin' and West End Riot - both b-sides and both LIVE

Roll On - Pictures in the Mirror - a b-side and LIVE

Tabloid Magazine - All Torn Down - a b-side and LIVE

Nothing Lasts Forever - What's On Your Radio and Long Live The Weekend - both b-sides and both LIVE

What's On Your Radio Coke Promo - I Can't Give You and WER - both b-sides and both live.

I understand that you're probably after songs that aren't released on an album as well, which does narrow it down some - but do you see my point?

You were after B-sides that have been recorded.

[May]

In reply to Evil Chris:

"What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men."

Ahh the classics never die. I <3 Cool Hand Luke.

[RollOn]

you were being a tool, thats why I reacted in such a harsh way.


Sorry.

Well if Sarah's acting like a tool you must be the king of tools.

At least you actually apologised for a stupid thread this time, I see we're getting somewhere.

You were after B-sides that have been recorded.
what I was after was Bsides like Wrong Side Of The Tracks, Mr Buisnessman, ect. Songs that were on singles and not on albums and have been performed live.

[RollOn]

Why don't you look for yourself or is using google beyond you?

Although I guess we are in the stupid questions thread.

[Evil Chris]

Well I searched Google. But Google doesnt always give you what you are after.

Also, I would like if there was a recording of the performance. I originally wanted that but that was a bit much.

[Sarah]

If you were wanting something so particular maybe you should have outlined the parameters in your original post.

Again, that aside you will find in my post some examples that seem to meet these requirements.

ie. Train Kept A Rollin', ICGYWIHG, Misspent Youth and Strange.

[Evil Chris]

Well, they sort of do. but its not actually what Im looking for.

[Sarah]

Train Kept A Rollin', ICGYWIHG, Misspent Youth and Strange.

[Evil Chris]

i edited my post. I just realised what you said.

[mel_bound]

But Google doesnt always give you what you are after.Neither does a forum full of people you have pissed off time and time again!

[Sarah]

However just to shut you up


fuck it, sorry i went to all the effort

[Sarah]

Well, they sort of do. but its not actually what Im looking for.

SORT OF!

They match exactly what you wrote you were after.

So who was being the tool?

[RollOn]

Neither does a forum full of people you have pissed off time and time again!

Oh man, score 1 to Mel!
Why didn't I think of that?


Hey Sarah, just give up- he's not worth it.

[Ambs]

I miss you guys!!!

with all my loved and hugs!

[Sarah]

Oh man, score 1 to Mel!
Why didn't I think of that?


Hey Sarah, just give up- he's not worth it.

haha, it's all cool, I like having someone stupid to vent at.

I'm fully relaxed now for another day at work :)

Besides, it seems to be past his bed time...or something :rolleyes:

[RollOn]

hehe past his bed time- that sounds so motherly of you!

I think that's the only reason that i'm happy he's still here. It gives me a reason to vent at someone other than my family! :p

[Julian]

Does anybody have a list of songs tle rare songs, but not too rare, that they have played live while a member of the band is wearing that Bang Bang shirt

[May]

haha, love it :cool:

[Colezy]

I love you even more now, Julian!

[Colezy]

Two questions:

1 - Have Trav and Andy ever met??
2 - Why is it that when they play Carry Me Home, Chris never sings the "It's my shout" part of the "6am it's closing time, the barman turns the lights out/I want another round so bring it on, it's my shout"

[May]

1. Wouldn't know. Haven't been told so.

2. I always assumed it's because, once you've been kicked out at 6am, you're usually a little tanked, and likely to take on anybody who even blinks atcha... so bring it orrnnnnnnn! :mad: haha

(edit - not that I'd know...)

[atomgal]

Yeah, I'd guess it's because it's just fun to sing "So bring it onnnnn!" :D

[WhitefalconTLE44]

i think i like the live way better.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

here's a question: How many times has everyone around here seen The Living End live? I've seen them 3 times. (and met them once:D )

[Kacky]

Saw 'em once and met 'em once. =]

Or I could say...Chris: Met 3 times in one night.
Andy and Scott: Met 2 times in one night.

:D

[Bec]

Seven times, met them twice :)

[Colezy]

5 times, met them 0 :( haha
Came very close but HAD to leave, damnit! :p

[Kacky]

D'aww, poor Nicole. :(

NEXT TIME. ;)

[May]

Can't find my list, but I think I'm upto 52, or 53 or something like that... :)

Spoke to them once or twice :o

[WhitefalconTLE44]

Wow! I wish i could see them that many times, but its hard to do so in the U.S.A.

[bringin' it all back home]

Did anyone go to the Townsville concert last year???

[kelso]

seen them twice
met Chris once

[damo0945]

saw them once

[The Dying Start]

what I was after was Bsides like Wrong Side Of The Tracks, Mr Buisnessman, ect. Songs that were on singles and not on albums and have been performed live.

I presume you are counting EP's as "albums for this instance?

Lone Ranger
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Blinded
Tainted Love
Rip It Up
Are all Bsides that were never on albums, but have been played live. I'll come back if i think of more.

[Sarah]

for a Tassie girl I think i'm doing alright...

10 TLE shows
riot hobart
homebake sydney
acdc hobart
gonesouth launceston
pre-livid brisbane
livid brisbane
falls hobart
fhio melbourne
all SOE launceston
all SOE hobart

1 Longnecks show
corner melbourne


met all 3 twice, once in Brisbane, once in Hobart. Never talked to Trav but have had a couple of close encounters :)

[May]

pre-livid brisbane

??
Which year? What show?

[Sarah]

2003. Day before Livid. Breakfast show (at lunch time) for JJJ. I recorded it too :)

I count it as a show...cos well, I've only been to 10 otherwise! But it was only 2 songs and a chat, haha

[May]

Ahh ok.
I thought for a minute you were talking about Roller Toaster pre Brisbane Livid 2000, and while I know alot of gigs are blurring into one these days, I sooooo didn't recall you being there :p

[Weston]

Well! Here's a question for everyone who's seen them so many times: Has Andy (or Trav, for that matter) ever given in to the temptation to unleash an almighty rimshot on stage, after one of Chris' precious jokes? Watching that would be priceless, especially if it took Chris by surprise! :D

[Colezy]

Haha, I've never seen it. I think most people just stand/sit there and shake their heads..Andy would probably do the same! :p It'd be a nice little touch if he did it though!

[The Dying Start]

Andy's jokes are just as bad, if we want to revisit the "tapdancer" one...

[Kacky]

I don't think I'm aware of the "tapdancer" one...

[Julian]

I remember that one

[Evil Chris]

I presume you are counting EP's as "albums for this instance?

Lone Ranger
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Blinded
Tainted Love
Rip It Up

Lone Ranger and Blinded were pretty much what i was talking about. I guess I have to be really specific when asking a question.

[mel_bound]

I guess I have to be really specific when asking a question.
Yes, you do, when you want a specific answer. Also stop abusing those who try and help you.

[RollOn]

Yes, you do, when you want a specific answer. Also stop abusing those who try and help you.

That's good advice Mel, listen to Mel- she's smart.
People might not hate you as much if you follow our advice Evil Chris.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

I'd still like to know about the Hitchin' a ride thing that some people were talking about a few pages back. If there is a certain reason we can't know, i'd like to at least know that reason please. Thanks. :confused:

[Johnny_Wah]

Yes! Lets get some answers oldies.

[Kev]

I'd still like to know about the Hitchin' a ride thing that some people were talking about a few pages back. If there is a certain reason we can't know, i'd like to at least know that reason please. Thanks. :confused:

I couldn't find the bit your on about?

Can you perhaps quote the question in answer? I went back about 8 or so pages and couldn't find anything...

[Johnny_Wah]

Oldies - remember the Hitching A Ride fiasco? haha

oooh oooh oooh... did it involve what "off the wagon" means???

Oh man! I remember that whole thing, it went on for like 4/5 pages didn't it?

Hmmmmmm. :confused:

[WhitefalconTLE44]

yeah, and i found an interview where Trav was about to say something about it, and then he stopped. Its on 23rd precinct.

[Evil Chris]

5 times, met them 0 :( haha
Came very close but HAD to leave, damnit! :p

Seen them 0 times, met them 0 times.

:(

[Colezy]

Try harder then, geeze :p

[Sarah]

*bangs head on desk*

[Evil Chris]

QUIET! General Sarah Wants To Speak!

[May]

*bangs head on desk*


*offers Sarah an aspirin. or vodka. or aspirin in vodka*

[Sarah]

make it a double.

[Burner]

Double aspirin, or double vodka?

0.o

[May]

Oh Bob, I like your sort! You make this place fun! :D

[Sarah]

both.

but I've solved the problem, so I'll only need the one of those tonight :)

[May]

Well I've got plenty of vodka, so c'mon over! :)

[Sarah]

haha, thanks, but i've always got around half a bottle of Absolut in the freezer for occassions such as these. Nothing like a 13 hour day full of screaming kids and parents and several truckloads of toys to put you on edge!

Stupid Question:
did the TLE boxer shorts come in more than one size?

[Colezy]

Stupid Question:
did the TLE boxer shorts come in more than one size?

Get your eyes off of them! :p I have the measurements for the ones for sale, if you want to know them.

[May]

Poorly phrased question perhaps (and no, that's not the nazi thing shining through, that's the juvenile deliquent), but I only seem to remember them being 'one size'... Bueller...

[Sarah]

*shifty eyes*

I have noooooo idea what your talking about Nicole :p

and yes, I probably could have worded that better, but I was trying to get this thread "back on topic" quickly with a token question haha

[damo0945]

un-TLE related question, but: alcohol doesn't freeze does it?

[Aaron]

Yeah it does. Just at a lower temperature than pure water.

[damo0945]

so in a standard freezer would it freeze?

[Aaron]

Bottled alcohol is generally a mix of water, ethanol and flavourings. Pure water freezes at 0°C, pure ethanol (the alcoholic component) at -114°C. Flavourings don't affect it much. A mix that is mostly water (chick drinks :p) will freeze closer to the temp of water, and the hard stuff will freeze closer to that of ethanol. Standard household freezers go down to -18°C, so spirits and stuff definitely won't freeze. Beer probably will.

[May]

Whether it freezes or not, vodka from a fridge or freezer just makes for a nicer cocktail.
And that's all that really matters here ;)



But back to the stupid question thing. Anyone know how old moo was?

[Bec]

Was? Did Moo die? :(

[May]

Is? :confused:

[Bec]

Oh good, sorry. Don't mind me.

I don't remember anything about this. I'll have a looky at the thing on Glenn's website.


As for the how many times seen/met thingy:

Seen: Lots
Met: 5/6 times maybe? I remember waging school to see them at soundcheck back in 2000 and Chris signed my school diary and Trav wrote something about my school on the front page and how Neerim Sth was better.

I've also worked for them, selling CDs at the Live and Local gig.

[bringin' it all back home]

Just wondering -

Have any of you got something from one of their shows?
Not something that was for sale, but maybe their setlist or the pick Chris used? etc..?

Thanks (:

[Kacky]

My friend Mimi scooped a setlist from the stage before I had a chance to.

[Bec]

A lot of people have, I seem to be rather unlucky with that though.
But I did get a sort of chain necklace thing which somebody threw around the crowd at one of the festival hall gigs and it landed in my hands. I wear as a bracelet now and it's nice because it reminds me of the gig :)

[mel_bound]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii got one from Pyramid Rock Festival. We got dragged over the barrier pretty much as soon as they walked off stage, and someone (I think it was Rockstar Matty) dropped it off the side and it floated into my hands as we ran off. It has shoe prints on it and "Happy New Year !!!!" at the bottom. :D

[Aaron]

I have a setlist from the Hot30 rooftop gig last year. Complete with original gaffer tape :p

[Kacky]

In my language, it would be called duct tape. :p

[May]

I have a setlist from the Hot30 rooftop gig last year. Complete with original gaffer tape :p

Yeah, any of mine that have the gaffa tape on them I keep that way.
It's just a bitch to store them so that they dont all stick together :p

[RollOn]

I have a pic that Chris used at the second gig at The Palace last year.
Now that they've torn down the palace it has a special place now haha

[Kev]

I had a slobbered on water bottle from one of the 2003 warm up gigs.

I have a guitar pick somewhere too.

[Jessii]

I have a pick used Chris used at soundcheck in 05, i put a hole in it and wear it on a chain as a necklace sometimes..
Seen them 11 times
Met them 10 times.

[Burner]

I got the bottle that Chris uses for E-boogie. It was an all ages gig so it was only a ginger beer.



http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b133/killerkex/Photo-0105.jpg

[Johnny_Wah]

Haha, ginger beer. How very rock 'n' roll.

Pick and setlist from a Canadian show last year that my uncle sent me:)

[Bec]

I have a pic that Chris used at the second gig at The Palace last year.

Is it actually gone now? :(

[Aaron]

They're different! Gaffer tape is black and has fibre reinforcement across and along the length of it, whereas duct tape is silvery and sort of stretchy. Gaffer tape is used by gaffers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_%28motion_picture_industry%29), duct tape is used on ducting. Both are also used for everything else.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

i have a pick that he used at the philly show last august.

[Kacky]

Meh - close enough. :p

[mel_bound]

My setlist has duct tape tooooo.

:p

[Kacky]

Phhh - shut up. :p

[mel_bound]

*just noticed*

RED ROOSTER!
Burner! Can I have a chip? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

:p

[gaby2121]

any one ever wonder why band mates share clothes. are they that broke or they just like to be pretty and share and be lovely:D

[Burner]

*just noticed*

RED ROOSTER!
Burner! Can I have a chip? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

:p

haha ok, But the show was last september so I think, so any chips that I (probably didn't) leave behind would have have gone bad by now.

But next time i get Red Rooster, I'll share. :p

but what do you call ilver reinforced tape? still gaffer?

[i_heart_you]

i've gotten a setlist from every show i've gone to. i ask mr matty while he's setting up if he will give me his at the end, and he always has, thus far. but i've only seen them 3 times so, meh.
i've almost always gotten a pick too, except at the last show. that time they were handing out andy's sticks to whoever was left in the place, and some large 30+ years old woman hipchecked me when the drum tech was handing it to me.

thank goodness for the little shows.


and i always thought gaffer and duct tape were the same thing?

[damo0945]

really theres not much difference... i thought the reinforced was just a different type

[The Dying Start]

but what do you call ilver reinforced tape? still gaffer?

Yes. Gaffer Tape comes in verious colours. But is always identified by it's stringy reinforcement!

[Colezy]

comes in verious colours.

:eek: GLENN!! Naughty!

[The Dying Start]

Typing while distracted is a nightmare. (Read: Nitemair)

[WhitefalconTLE44]

i have a question: I have the roundhouse gig on my windows media, but to open it i type a link in, so i just downloaded a new version of windows media player, and i tried watching the roundhouse gig, but i only get audio, no video, so is there anyway to fix that so i can see the video again?

[Sarah]

i could be completely wrong....but i think you need a codec to get it to work...maybe

[Kev]

Yup. Codec's sound like the problemo.

Get FFDSHOW codecs. they will help you heaps.

[The Dying Start]

Google K-lite codec pack and install that...it has everything you'll ever need

[damo0945]

oooh conflict of opinion

[The Dying Start]

K-lite will have the ffdshow codec as part of it. Plus, Kev's my bitch.

[bringin' it all back home]

Just wondering, do Chris and Andy smoke?

[Kacky]

Andy smokes, Chris doesn't...

[AlinaPOW]

Is it actually gone now? :(

Yeah the fire caused so much damage that they ended up having to tear it down. RIP the Palace. :(

[Bec]

I don't think the fire had happened when I asked that but yeah, I was there on tuesday and they'd started tearing it down.

[The Dying Start]

At least i can say I've been there!

[Sarah]

Me too! I even have photos (well, of the inside :p)


...I seem to remember meeting a very (i never thought that I was) strange man in a blue suit there too...oooohhhhh
