Conference napalm::heavy_metal

    Yeah, I like 'em too.
    On the other hand I tend to like anything that's 
    released on the Epitaph label...
    
    Check Rancid and Pennywise just to mention two.
    And of course all time fave's Bad Religion
    
    
    

    Bad Religion is the greatest!!!!
    					"G"
    

>    "Gotta keep 'em separated"

I heard this toon last friday and this line's been stuck in my head all
weekend %^}. Cool song tho!

    	Are we talking a Spinal Tap band here, or Scatterbrain, or
    	what?
    
    	Who else could they be compared to?

    He said Scatterbrain! Huh huh huh huh!
    
    I think NOFX are closest to a reference.
    And yes, Bad Religion are great. New CD sometime 
    in August.
    -H-
    
    

    
    come out and play?  isnt that twisted sister??  :')
    

    
    
       Hey! Are you talking back to me?? bring em down! ya gotta keep em
    seperated!
     
    
    
                                                *B*

    
    	I've heard the song a couple times in the last week, and I like
    	it.  I was going to come in here and post the "catch line" that
    	I was hearing on the radio of a song I figured was these guys
    	[for some reason] but I kept forgetting what it was ... "Gotta
    	keep 'em separated", so I couldn't even ask if that was the
    	right song!!
    
    	But I got in here today and saw that a couple people mentioned
    	the line.
    
    	Maybe I'll pick it up on the way home.  But if I don't like the
    	album, Sean, you owe me.  8^)
    
    	[I'll have to turn you onto Scatterbrain and Duck Duck ... 2 of
    	the most under-rated bands of the last 5 years.  You won't be
    	disappointed, I guarantee it.]

    	Check out 166.558 for a semi-review of the Duck Duck album.
    
    
    							GTI
    

    
    	What's the title of the album?
    
    	The Milford MA Strawberries didn't have the new one, it seems,
    	but they did have another album by a band called The Offspring,
    	who may or may not be the same band.
    
    	I'll try Westboro this afternoon if I can.
    
    							GTI

    
    > 	The Milford MA Strawberries didn't have the new one, it seems,
  
    I took the last one I guess!
    
    Dunno how far you wanna go in/around the area...  but if no luck in
    Westboro, how 'bout?
    
      Untouchable Sound in Milford?
      Coconuts in Franklin?
      Newbury Comics in Shrewsbury?
    
    > but they did have another album by a band called The Offspring,
    > 	who may or may not be the same band.
    
    They have two CD's out.  Been around for 7 years actually.
    

    
    	You took the last one??
    
    	You slime!!  How could you?
    
    	8^)

    apart from the vocals,this single is pretty good.I like it! 8)

    	Last week I picked up "Ignition" [the other Offspring album] so
    	I could at least have a teaser until I could find the new one.
    
    	Well, all I heard on this album was a bunch of noise.  The band
    	has alot of energy, for sure, but I wasn't impressed.
    
    	And I finally got the new one, "Smash", at Newbury Comics on
    	Saturday night.  Not bad, really ... "Come Out and Play" is the
    	best so far, but I've only listened through once.  It's loaded
    	into the Duster, so if I drive that car tomorrow I'll give it
    	another listen.
    
    							GTI

    
    	My 1st listen.... not bad...........
    
    	SueJ

    
    
      Does anyone have the words to "Come out and play"?

    
    
    	Like the latest fashion
    	Like a spreading disease
    	The kids are strappin on their way to the classroom
    	Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
    
    	The gangs stake their own campus locale
    	And if they catch you slippin' then its all over pal
    	If one guy's colors and the other's dont mix
    	There gonna bash it up
    	
    	Hey- Man you talkin' to me?
    	Take him out
    		You gotta keep em separated
    	Hey- man you disrespecting me ?
    	Take him out
    		You gotta keep em separated
    	Hey they dont pay no mind
    	If you're under 18 you wont be doing any time
    	Hey come out and play
    
    	By the time you hear the siren
    	Its already too late
    	One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
    		One guys wasted and the other's a waste
    
    	It goes down the same as the thousand before
    	No one's getting smarter
    	No one's learning the score
    	Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
    	 	Is gonna tie your own rope
         

    Uh...No Self Esteem.  Uh...these guys are Nirvana, right?

    Great tune !!!

Hey Whit, I'm not the only one who likes 'em %^). Must be the guitar, it's
something I could actually play %^}

Droid

    
    
    
    
    I just find them extremely annoying...
    
    "Gotta keep'em seperated." 
    "HHeey AAAaaa" 
    
    AAAARGH!!! 
    
    Whit-

    re: Andy
    
    Probably something you could sing, if you could get that far off key. 
    Definitely something I could sing.

Getting that far is no sweat! 8^)  Right up my alley, ruff vocals and
easy guitar. It's the stuff that our good 'ole high school bands were
made of %^).

My idea of the perfect voice is that guy in the car on Kiss Destroyer
singing "I, wanna rock an roll all night" %^}  It's that setting your
goals thing...

double boing !!

    
    Hey, I have Offspring's Smash CD for sale.
    
    I bought it for "Come out and play".  When I opened it and read
    the words, I decided it wasn't for me.
    
    ANyone want to buy it?  Contact me by Email before noon tomorrow.
    TAPE::LKL or dtn 237-3087.  I also have Adam Sandler's (from SNL)
    disc with Lunchlady land on it.  Too crude for me.
    
    

    Well it's official--Top selling *independent* release of _ALL TIME_
    200,000 copies sold so far.
    
    Very scary,
    
    -kev

    can we talk of "independent" any longer ? i dont think so !
    
    max_
    

    Whadayamean?

errr...I assume that when you're saying "Independant", you're talking about in 
America, right?

    Yeah, a friend was talking to me about them over coffee this morning
    and said that.He said they basically came out of nowhere with a video
    (or two(?)) and an indie CD,moved 200,000 unit before anyone in the
    industry new what was goin' on.They appearently got signed up pretty
    quickly after that.
    
    -kev

Yeah, what I meant, though, was that note saying that 200,000 was a record for 
an indie band/record......this is referring ti the US, yes?  Independant bands 
over here in Britain/Europe, regularly sell far more than 200,000 copies.  
Maybe it's much more corporate based in the US or something.

    Not quite sure on that on....good question!I would assume the US and
    Canada just because of them being tight industry wise.
    What label did they end up signing to anyhow?
    
    -kev

    'Industry wise' inthat last note refering to means of outlets for
    broadcast ect. ie.MTV/Much Music,Radio,Blablabla...
    
    -kev

	This is also one very educated band...lead has a masters in some
	sort of molecular biology, two others are EE's, all three from UCLA I
	believe...maybe they promoted it themselves...

	/Cap'n Quad

    I was just doing the math over lunch:
    
    Let's see.....200,000 times..say..$10 a pop?
    
    Isn't that......TWO MILLION DOLLARS?!!?!?
    
    very,very scary....
    
    -kev

    
    I heard a very old British punk song today on the radio called "Smash
    it up" and it was the Offspring covering it!Absolutely excellant,about
    the exact same as the original(vocally)and almost the same musically.
    I was nearly fooled into believing it was the original artists!The
    original artists were the Damned,did they do well in the US when they
    were at their peak 78-80?
    
    
    						ian

    Ian, I don't think the Damned made much of an impact in the States.
    Of all the bands from that period it was really only the Clash that 
    made any popular ground and that was only after "London Calling" 
    and then "Combat Rock". 
                            
    barry 

    
    what about the Damned's "love song"...flippin' magic that was@If the
    Damned didn't make it big in the US,people will think the Offspring
    wrote "Smash it up" until they read the liner notes.
    
    
    					ian

    I've got The Damned on tape...  Along with some other cool, UK
    bands - 999, Gen X, The Jam, The Freshies, etc..etc..
    
    "On Bondage, UP YOURS!"
    

    
    I have a "best of" cd from the Jam...it's excellant!It reminds me of
    high school discos when I was a lad in Scotland!
    
    
    						ian 8)

    They rip...  It's FUN music too...

    
    
    Anyone get the new record?  if so, is it any good?  i don't
    think I've heard anything off it yet.....
