He may want to look at the precedent.. I believe it was Waters v Pink Floyd. It doesn't work unfortunately.

Getting Away With Murder is pretty good. Any other song(s) worth listening too?

/loves me some Rhapsody
//a lot of crappy songs to wade thru
///worth it tho, to find the good ones

Papa Roach is still around? God what an awful band....

FTFA: The band fired Buckner around Christmas 2007. Buckner filed suit in Sacramento Superior Court last week to recoup hundreds of thousands of dollars to which he says he's entitled.

Was this his last resort?

Would it be wrong
Would it be right
I bet he never realized
he was spread too thin
Till it was too late...

and this is his last resort.

They're awesome live. Seen them 3 times (with other bands).

 
marius2 2008-12-18 03:56:13 AM  
It does sound like he is owed some money, but dissolving the band... won't happen.

I saw them at a small club awhile back and they were great, just a few weeks later Last Resort hit the stations.

CUT MY BAND INTO PIECES

the band members are lame, but they've made some pretty catchy and kickass songs just to rock out to


Getting away with murder
Time and Time again
Forget me Not
Blood Brothers
etc,etc

anyone that claims that they suck don't really know anything relating to musical structure, melody or sonic elements.


Now Nickleback and Godsmack on the other hand

simplistic pappy crap in an extremely formulaic pattern w/ no creativity. Godsmack have had some prog elements to their songs, but most of it is pitiful.

Well, if your major hit is a whiny song about self-mutilation that musically rips off Maiden, then fark the rest of your portfolio.

I'm partial to this one. Although it may have something to do with the fact that I heard it a hundred times in Tony Hawk 2.

because Pap Roach is some kind of prog band instead of a poorman's Limp Bizkit now?

Yes, we all know that they are noted for their innovative song structures,having been heavily influenced by Stravinsky, Bach, and projectile vomiting.

We used to play "Forever". I thought that was a great tune.

 
magical_mystery_meat 2008-12-18 12:33:59 PM  
Back when they were "big", those guys had video of backstage groupie action on their DVD. Such groupie action included throwing slices of bologna at girls' naked asses. WTF?

 
shirtsbyeric 2008-12-18 12:53:49 PM  
I knew these guys before they were big. I remember them coming into my shop and buying 1 dozen t shirts for their first show. They blew me off when they got signed. Dave was really cool though and that singer Eric used to have me buy him beers. I crashed at his house once after a show in V-ville.

Vaudeville?

 
shemp5150 2008-12-18 02:39:56 PM  
I remember their last show before they signed at Java Aroma in stockton. They didn't even get to play cause the stockton fd showed up and made everyone leave. Coby got up to the mike and started yelling "Fark the police"...it was great
/jerkwads after they signed...
//meh

Either delete your mp3 collection and start over, or stop posting in music threads. Comparing Papa Roach to Godsmack is like comparing horse shiat to rat shiat. It's all shiat. Go back to the drawing board.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that your a huge fan of:
Taproot
Shinedown
Saliva
Three Days Grace
Three Doors Down
Theory of a Deadman
Seether
Puddle of Mudd
Saving Abel

They all just start to run together after awhile. I like to file these bands under "cock rock".

Don't disrespect my cock rock like that asshole! We don't want those "musical" abortions. That being said Papa Roach isn't TERRIBLE, I just wouldn't label them as "good". If you like music from that era I would check out Ninety-Nine Remaining (new window) They are a really good band for that genre.

/if I ever make it over to Tampa I'm going to have to check them out for the fun of it

If you're listing Shinedown, Three Days Grace, 3 Doors Down, and Seether as "cock rock," you're not really listening. Buckcherry = cock rock. AC/DC = cock rock. Nickelback = cock rock. Papa Roach = arguable. But the others? Not so much.
