Jazz is not cool like it once was. But back in the day it was very technical. Buddy Rich, Max Roach ETC made awesome tunes.

How come all of your youtube videos start with shots of each others crotches and butts? YOu videotape each other in dressing rooms? I couldn't listen to the music, I had to close the window after you pointed out how "HOT" you think your guitar players butt is.

You honestly dont see the connection? :confused:

Because our singer likes asserting his sexuality through the medium of video. They're just a bit of fun.

Greg. Educate me. How should we be doing things. Musically speaking and fashion wise, exactly what kind of music would we have to be playing in order for you to find it acceptable? AC/DC covers? In the promo shots, i have a white tshirt on, blue jeans and a black belt, please let me know what you think i should change on order to not be a a7x/fallout boy/fashion/whatever.

I'm interested to know what you think the "right" way of doing, everything in life is seeing as you seem to be so sure of what the wrong way is.

Phase 1: Collect Underpants
Phase 2: ?

Nice copout. I'm genuinely interested to know what you think we should be doing, seeing as you've found so many things we shouldn't be doing. All you have is negativity because you've wrongly stereotyped us. It seems you have a problem with everything from the music, the way we dress even down to band members sexuality.
 
Question: WTF do you care what I think? Why are you so butthurt by one guy on an internet board? Man the fuck up, Sally. You like being cheesey, cliche, generic, sterile, and completely uninteresting. Mainstream pop radio should love you! Run with it! The Sun Explodes forever! Woooohoooooo! :D
 
There is no right way of doing things. There's nothing wrong with behaving like a fag in a music video. BUT....if you are going to behave like a fag in a music video, then you have to learn to deal with being called a fag. And no matter what you do, you are going to have to deal with the fact that there are people who won't like your music or your dress sense, and they will tell you that.

I'm not in the slightest bit "butthurt", i'm just waiting to hear if you actually have a rational explanation for any of the above "cheesey, cliche, generic, sterile, and completely uninteresting". Or if you're just another forum fucking loser hurling negative energy towards everyone around him. You're unbelievably rude for no apparent reason, im just trying to understand it a bit.

What exactly have you listened to that suggests "mainstream pop" to you? To me, thats bretney spears, kings of leon, other manufactured crap, etc.

What suggests a7x to you? Use of the harmonic minor scale in a rock context? I don't think they were the first to do this, you know.

Fall out boy, what the fuck? Can't even begin to see where you're getting this.

Nickleback, what the even more of a fuck? Can't even begin to see where you're getting this.

What else have you got, we use synths and our singer sometimes uses falsetto, how about a "you're just muse!"? Had that one before.
 
The best thing about chamwows band are the youtube vids. I bet these guys can't get ten people to one of their "gigs" yet they film themselves doing mundane everyday shit and put it on youtube like anyone on this planet gives a fuck about their crappy emo band or lives. :D

So now its a parady of my username, and my band is "emo"? Are you aware that this genre is pretty much defined by lyrical content? Are you aware of any of my bands lyrics other than the song titles?

You're a drummer right? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on my brothers drumming :)

Again, WTF do you care? Why are you so staunchly defending your crappy emo band on the internet to people that will:

A) never buy your music
B) never listen to your music
C) never see you live
D) never follow your gay tweets
E) never "add you as a friend"
F) never give a shit in any way, shape, or form?

P.S. - your brother sucks.


I got 10 bucks that says you guys break up in 6 months stemming from a fight over who gets to wear the white belt and torn vans.

I've not tried to "defend" my band at all. If you dont like the music or clothes or the fact that some of us enjoy it in the ass thats fine with me. I've just been trying to elicit an intelligent response from you and getting nothing back but petty and mindless insults like "emo" and "fag".

I'm guessing you don't like the flamboyance in my brothers playing and would prefer a basic rock for the duration.

You are easily the most conceited, arrogant and just straight up rude **** i've ever had the misfortune of engaging in conversation with. You've displayed absolutely no intelligence.
 
I'm guessing your brother is the only drummer you guys could find and he hasn't yet learned how to tune a drum or play in time.
