Emo isn't lame. There is a lot of good bands out there who are considered emo. For example, Saves the Day. One of my favourite bands is considered emo. Now, you probably wouldnt' like the lyrics or anything like that, but the MUSIC is amazing. They used killer effects on their lead. I don't necessarily categorize any music anymore. I can listen to pretty much anything as long as it catches my interest.

Way to read, Calvin.

I don't have a problem with people correcting me but I have a problem when people say things like this. I did read, I read every post.. so I took it the wrong way.. who cares? People can misunderstand things. A LOT of people categorize their music as "emo" as well as the emotion. Which also shouldn't be used because I think its wrong to label people like that. But thats not the point. The point was I merely took it the wrong way. Well actually, I took it the right way because emo did start out as a kind of music. and now its a stereotypical fashion statement. So eh.

I just got a ticket for tool tonight for 50 dollars.. better then what my buddy was offering which was like 200 per ticket.

I just see it as they wanting to make a new album. The song has a vibe from dirt to me, the vocals actually remind me of jerry's solo albums a little more but they still have the duel harmonys in the vocals that made Alice in Chains unique.  The ending reminds me of the self entitled album cause they always did like, a repeating ending on most songs with just freestyle stuff which I always thought was cool. I don't think the song was produced wrong. This is only one song remember. I agree the vocals aren't the same. But don't judge so quickly. The song is meant to be a single. So obviously its going to sound like a single for modern music. They obviously want to succeed again. They even said they think this album will bring them back to the top. It wont' be as dark as it used to be. I doubt it ever will be. and I just hate to hear people tell the band to change their name. It's like its their band, it wasn't laynes band, and its not like they are disrespecting him. I bet Layne would have wanted them to continue its like don't let my death ruin a good thing sort of deal. They aren't trying to replace him they just want to continue having fun.

I personally hate weezer.. I would have gotten tickets to this show however it panic and fall out boy decided to stay on the tour for one more show.. which would have been the toronto one.

This could be interesting.. I have a million different bands that you probably wouldn't know.. my music variety is so big.. I'll give it a shot if you want to hear some of it. I guarantee you won't like half the music I do though.

I agree with you, they are trying to take fighting out which is lame. But its still very exciting.. really fast paced now. lots of speed. and as long as you don't go for the head hits usually are okay.. its the head shots everyone hates.

I'm canadian too. eh?
