  1. well, I'm underwhelmed. not that it is bad, typical modern BJ and not a "return to a rock sound" we have been promised for a decade

     

    sounds pretty rocky to me :unsure:

     

    seriously, did you guys expect another Slippery When Wet or New Jersey? its not 1986 anymore, it can be rocky without sounding 20 years old...

  2. but saying that, i feel like ditching my cowboy boots, cutting my hair and start wearing more long sleeve shirts :P

     

    :screwy:

     

    ;)

     

    by "cutting my hair" i mean a couple of inches so its more like the dudes in teh videos up there ^^^^ :P

     

    i was having a crisis of confidence, i realsied the error of my ways today and im gonna go back to colelge wearing my biker jacket proudly! :D

  3. I had the debut on cd back when it came out.

    Radio stations in the US played the living hell out of "Touch, Peel and Stand" and "Shelf in the Room". They also played the first single from the follow up disc(which was just Travis Meeks after firing the rest of the band and they went and started Tantric), I think the song was called "Enemy". Days of the New to me and most of the media were an acoustic Alice in Chains sounding band. They were a good band and I think they/Travis recorded 3 cds back then but then I think he had some type of drug problem if memory serves. I believe Travis was originally from Indiana but the band had moved to Lexington Kentucky I think and that's where they broke out of. As mentioned above though the rest of the band only lasted for the first disc before Travis fired them. They did open for Metallica on thee Re-Load" tour in 1998 opening before Jerry Cantrell's solo band(which featured Queensryche's Chris Degarmo after leaving 'Ryche) and 'Tallica. I saw that tour but missed DOTN and only got to see Cantrell and Metallica. DOTN were pretty big over here though on that first release.

     

    i know they released 3 albums (yellow, Green and Red i think??) i just ordered the first one because of "The Downtown"

     

    tbh, i wasnt sure how big they were because i discovered them from the Crow TV series which, like the movie, had a reputation for using underground music in it....so i wasnt sure how mainstream they were :P

     

    but im really digging it for some reason, i sorta switch between 80s rocker mode and 90s grunge/alternative mode, i loev both eras tbh :D

     

    I know you're an AIC fan but do you have the new disc yet? Good stuff IMO.

     

    not yet, i liked Check my Brain but got bored of Looking in View....although someone sent it to me as mp3s, im gonna get round to buying it eventually but the new Kiss album actually takes priority :P

  5. so ive recently discovered Days of the New, who's singer, Travis Meeks, auditioned for Velvet Revolver in the early days....for those of you that dont know them theyre described as "Post-Grunge Alternative Rock"

     

    its all acoustic stuff, but pretty rockin acoustic stuff IMO!! heres some of the tunes ive been listening to the most:

     

    The hits:

     

    Touch, Peel and Stand:

    The Downtown (my fave out of these three):

     

    Shelf In The Room:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcPVhKszXjY...127&index=1

     

    this one involves putting a captcha in and its only audio but its by far my fave song by them, its also the most driving!

     

    Best of Life:

    its not gonna be everyones cup of tea, for fans of Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam i'd say (the good grunge bands basically!)

  6. and 2 hours after making that post i was elected Vice Chair of the Liberal Youth over here....i dont know why i was even nominated but it seems people think im good at it (i wonder why :P)

     

    pretty cool tho :) but the Liberals like Obama which means im probably just gonna end up defending him more the more i work with them :unsure:

     

    Ahh, the naievete and optimistic exuberance of youth. Like a puppy humping your leg. :P

     

    I was a young liberal once. And then I grew up, got a job, had to pay taxes, and actually had something to lose... at which point the socialistic redistribution of wealth and social-engineering practices that the liberal movement engages in lost their allure.

     

    .. and Nick Clegg (the party leader) is elected PM then maybe theyll apply to the older career people aswell...n :D

     

     

    And pigs will fly after they have driven to the moon.

     

    never said it would be easy :P who are the non-conservatives going to vote for after Labours made such a bad name for themselves in the last few years?

    Understandable, i personally picked the liberals as the things theyre doing (or trying to do) apply to me more than the other major parties, now in 5 years time who knows? if theyve gotten their footing here in England and Nick Clegg (the party leader) is elected PM then maybe theyll apply to the older career people aswell....the Lib Dems have always been a minority so i have hope that theyll expand on their goals when theyre more well known :D
