Ok I am very excited along with all TBS fans for june 27 to come Watched em on fuse today and am gonna line up at the record store 2 hours early to get a copy has anyone heard any of the new stuff, if so whats it like?

I heard a couple of songs from the new album..."A Decade Under The Influence", "Follow the Format", and "Mosh Pit pt. 2"...theyre not too bad actually :)

damn i was waiting for that thing on fuse and i forgot about it, is it gunna be on again?

i caught the end of nick...i think it was the day where we went fishin

oh crazy...was it good?

yea it was pretty funny at parts It was awesome to see them like that though because they were more laid back than they are in their interviews by far

There's no problem in like Taking back sunday, in fact I encourage listening to their songs. Its not emo, but I still like it. I intend to get it asap

How do you know?

Where did you find the longed after definition that so many have searched for unsuccessfully.

by listening to their lyrics id definately call them emo. what would you call it zealious?

...Still awaiting his all-knowing answers.

See post on "Real Emo Bands"

Emo was a genre and era roughly between 1994-99. The bands listed by some played in this period and had similar characteristics of introspective/melodic music. Some say it was a spin off from hardcore/post-hardcore but what's for certain is that it has some qualities of that also. I'm not really willing to say these characteristics of emo partly because everyone argues about it/I don't now all about it.

The emo era is just like the grunge era...sorta. It reached a peak and now is declining/dead. There are still a few bands linked to this "emo" scene but now its being replaced with other bands who play catchy, sappy/predictable music, where ONLY the critics and people, NOT the bands, lable as emo.

Well buddy tell ya ass something mofo
**** you
**** emo
**** punk
**** rap
**** skaters
And **** you
and most of all **** Thrice

your music has came to the dead end
even yourself is telling that it has

i, as a metalhead can say that music has lived all the way since it has been created
now some of you may think your little slipy dipy slipknot or bands like that are metal
well tell you something buddy that aint nothing but my ****
so hoeabout you get ur virgin ears used to metal and think a lil deep why it hasnt died
because it uses talent
from the lyrics to the music
its about everything
it about life
life is what you want to end when you are pissed off at everything
everything is life
listen to metal
and no posing bitch ad bands

dude they wrote an entire album about a relationship failure, that relationship failure caused the band to break up for a short period of time. that isnt emo?

You know what band you should look into?... BackStreet Boys They too wrote a WHOLE album on realtionship failure and so did N'Sync. So these bands must be emo then right?

Im speaking of present day emo.

Ha ha, you are the lamest person ever to visit the forums... It is unbelievable how you speak of everything in terms of labels....No one is even held within a label, genius. Good for metal, im not downing it, but you are poorly representing it. If you dislike my style of music, thats cool, but dont be an ass about it. For absolutely no reason you chose to be an *******, and you will end up paying for it. I am sorry that you cannot view music as music, but as genres. Sorry you can't view life as life. You have serious problems and I hope your music helps you through them. your problems may have to do with death, and metal helps you through that, whereas my music may follow topics such as relationships where they may help me. So in general music is music, you are just EXTREMELY close minded and shallow. Good luck with your future bitching.

two points thrice!
dude, do not assume that just because we are punks, or listen to punk, that we are not informed in any other genre. i used to be a serious metal head and know a fair bit about it.

dude i love you so much. your awesome. You must kill a ton of people eh? Do you beat your girlfriend too?...im can tell you right now im not alone in the group of people throwing marbles under you as you walk towards the stairs.

But hey! look on the bright side, theirs always tomorrow to kill yourself, right everyone!!!

*Yea!!!!*

*never felt more lonely at 12:38 am*

Edit : HEAVY METAL TAKES TALENT? AND U DONT THINK EMOCORE HAS TALENT? lemme guess, you can write lyrics like Chris Conely from Saves the Day, and play guitar like Shawn and Paul from BTBAM? riiiight

there is a lot of talent in metal dont say there isnt. but there are slightly different skills needed. the guitars are different, the vocals are a lot different, but they are both still an expression of emotion....albeit sometimes "tough-lets all act suicidal" emotions. but metal has a large audience and as all music continually does, is evolving. saying it takes no skill is fairly arrogant and naive

i like hardcore and metal and stuff. it doesnt have as much talent as emocore. this is because its the same music, with different lyrics. emo generally has more talent lyrically. emocore is a clash between 2 awesome groups of music. metalcore and emo. i've never heard anything more self-pleasuring. its an awesome group of music. although.

metal = less talent, BECAUSE they sing songs like "sweet cherry pie" and stuff like that, most of their songs don't involve lyrically talent.

edit : i didnt say it takes "no talent", it does. its just talent through intsruments. but like i said, emocore is the same as metalcore, just with emo lyrics, and they both take talent for the instruments.

again i disagree. but thats ok because you guys are all bias-due to this being an emo room and all. people on metal boards would be saying the opposite, if the werent tools and saying that metal is the only good type of music etc etc. but metal lyrics do take skill, i mean sure there are stereotypical bands in metal that write that stuff you guys are discussing, but there are also a lot of bands that arent just saying that, that are writing good lyrics and music.
