"i actually like this cover better than the original. they put the sorrow and grief of that day into the song. the song is slow and the lyrics are clear. u2 is great but they didn't capture it, it was sorta like they were going ahead of the lyrics and they were toooo loud. she makes the point with her slow and clear voice.
great cover. she really captures the sorrow of that day. "
Guys apparently U2 are tooooo loud
I like The Subways.
And apparently John Lennon wrote Sunday Bloody Sunday as well
Wow Paramore fans know their music

I saw them live; they put on a pretty good show (slight amount of alcohol involved though)
Ah, the hallmark of a true Superthreader ... or a very bored man. Hey Andrew!
Yeah. Lennon did have a song called Sunday Bloody Sunday before U2. Some Time In New York album.
Cool. Best live band I've ever seen was Mute Math.

"who was the girl? and how can i talk to you with out pressing reply?? And who is U2? And also isn't bloody a british word or something? I was scared to ask my teacher what bloody sunday is because she might be mad if it is something bad."
okay...
Some people are so stupid it's funny
And seriously? Wow sucks for her
Judging by my school's battle of the bands I doubt I've gone to school with any future stars
Although one was a better good song writer and one band had good stage presence excluding the fact the mic didn't work

Well it's on my laptop using my own internet service provider... but they said I wasn't allowed to anymore because they don't wanna be responsible if my computer is stolen. Anyway, my break's over now.
Ha.
Yeah, they were a few years above her so she never knew them personally. But still I was apparently not allowed to insult them in her presence! Too bad for her; I did anyway. Hell, she'd been with me long enough to know that I don't believe in muzzling opinions.
I'm positive my school won't produce any famous rock musicians either, though we did have one guy who was going places with the saxophone and I hope he's still doing well with that. I won't be shocked if some folk achieve at least some success with acting, though.
I'd honestly laugh if someone from my school ended up famous
And if someone did it would probably be one of the talentless guys I never noticed
And Stiff Little Fingers have a song called Bloody Sunday as well; are they all covers of the same song?
I've never really listened to Mute Math much
But I saw Subways live at a festival; they opened a stage; they were pretty than a lot of other stuff there
Best I've seen is probably Porcupine Tree, but it's a close thing. If I had only seen the Melbourne and/or Sydney shows, I probably wouldn't say they're the outright best, just one of the top three and a contender for the top spot. But Brisbane fucking blew me away. I was on a high for a bloody week after that show.
Holy shit. This place collapses when I leave.
Ax, did you ever get your invite from this thread? http://forum.interference.com/f221/oink-discussion-aftermath-and-alternatives-181241-3.html
I'm wondering if impy sent them out, and then cause I only check my gmail when I get something important, I deleted it.
Yeah, the place died. I'm passing time on RYM - when I should be writing essays.
And oh god, my new headphones are amazing.
Nope, I never got anything.
What brand of headphone?
It's these: Koss KSC75 [KOSS KSC 75] - $39?AUD : Headsonic Australia, Higher Fidelity, Lower Prices!
For the price, I'm fucking impressed. I would like something even better, but I just do not have $200+ to fork out on headphones.
The best single concert I saw live was on May 11th, 2003, by a band called Loudermilk. It was the last show on their tour, the singer had lost his voice (though he sounded exactly as he did on the album), and someone had just stolen their van with all their guitar pedals in it. They played their entire album backward (not the music itself, but the tracklisting), and it was brilliant. They quickly became my favourite band--then they became a band called Gosling, which was also my favourite band. Then Gosling (which was just as good as Loudermilk live) broke up. Damn shame.
