who did you know before they went big?
 

dude this band is from southeastern michigan, i saw them a few times back in '02 when they went by the chiodos brothers. i still have their first cd which was burned on a friend's comp and sold for like 2 bux.

if anyone can share this expierence with this band or any other band in general, knowing them be fore they went big, let it be known.

i knew a band
 

ok...im almost sure that you know a band called not by choice.....maybe you have seen there couple of videos on much and heard them on the radio last year a bit....they have kinda dropped of the earth latley and are nowere to be seen or heard...oh well...any way.. yea i knew the guitar play, chico, he lived on my street and the band used to jam most days and every one could here them within a five house radius, they played pretty loud....oh yea...i found a **** load of porn in his back seat one time...i was pretty funny......and i dented his car with a tennis ball when playin some road hocky....i dont think he ever new...it was a peice of **** car ...watever

um, ive played several parties back in the day with Jimmy Eat World before they blew up does that count?

^awsome.

i saw underminded a few times before they were famous. i also saw autobomb before they got big...at least i think it was before they were big. they suck though, i cant stand them.

In 20 (okay, nearly 30) years of being a music junkie, no one I've ever seen has "gone big". As a matter of fact, if an unknown band sees me approaching a club they are playing, they know they are doomed to obscurity.


Actually, many years ago, I bought tickets for Jackson Browne about three months before a show. In the meantime, Running On Empty was released and had some hits. So he kind of got famous between the time I bought the ticket and the time I saw him. Does that count? Didn't think so.

^awesome screen name :thumb:

Thanks!

I had seen Hot Hot Heat when they were just a small local band...Didnt like them then...dont like them now...but meh..lifes tough

thats pretty sweet, where are they from?

lol it's cool, i didn't expect alot of people to bew like omg yeah i'm steve tyler's baby's godmother or some crazy **** like that just asking.

oh and a really really evil bitchy chick used to come into my work all the time and demanded special deals b/c she was "kid rock's groupie"

eh it happens, i asked this about jimmy eat world too, but where are they from?

Isn't that every woman with a vagina??

Victoria, British Columbia

^ Hippies

no, just the one's with STD's

I was a fan of Fall Out Boy for two years or so before they sold out (completely changed their style/alienated their old fans). Other than that, I'm pretty much a late comer to any band's scene.

Although I can definitely predict that I'll be able to post in this thread about Forgive Durden and Daphne Loves Derby in a year or so.

They never did go big, but I knew a screamo band called A Shattered Hope and the turned into this indie crap called soloVAtora

here in phx..well actually its either tempe of mesa, but i wouldnt be surprised if their actually from scottsdale....anyways...ARIZONA

i have known the Kenny Al and Matt from the Dropkick Muyrphys, and Frank from Mcr before they became ****ing huge
