Tour relentlessly in 08...
fixed
-
RAQ tours relentlessly and started their career with Strangefolk\'s old manager. The connections were already made, hence the instant growth spurt.
Bring back Josh Kroop in 08...

so much RAQ hate on this board, what is this PT?
Nah it\'s just the .info way.
ANY band at this level that is doing better than The Breakfast gets hated on.
If .info likes your band it is a kiss of death.
i wouldnt say theyre doing better then the bfast these days - there must\'ve been 25 people there tops last nite???? they sounded good, but if memory serves me, they used to be better.
Well let\'s put it like this RAQ is playing The Paradise in Boston, The Breakfast don\'t play there. They are playing The State Theatre in Falls Church Va. The Breakfast don\'t play there.They have 2 nights at Mexicali Blues while The Breakfast can\'t seem to get back into the place. They are already booked for Langerado The Breakfast is not. I could continue but you can see how I define doing better which may not coincide with your definition.

No way man, there is A LOT of positive energy at Breakfast shows, you just have to seek it out... Are you going to Daniel St?
most likely!
Cool, seek me out. I\'ll probably be walking around giving away shows.
-
yeah krispy, me and you man!
hyperfnk and .info
toads and daniel street!

thanks everybody. to be honest I am a little sensitive these days. too much negativity in my own life and I start to wish everyone could be overly positive. I\'ll go back to my quiet lurking and standing in the back of B\'fast shows...
Dude you have to watch out for this Spacey guy. He lurks HARD in the back at Breakfast shows. If he gets overly excited he starts throwing punches of love.
Just sayin\'

I didn\'t start this thread to bash RAQ, in fact, I kind of like them after years of relentless bashing. I just wanted to point out the comparison of chord changes.
I first saw RAQ when they were known as Shadraq. This was before Todd Stoopes left Named by Strangers to join the band. Anyways, it was freshman orientation and they were playing our student center. There must have been only three people in the crowd. This was back in my "jamband fan" days, and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Now, I\'m not sure most of you know this, but Chris Michetti was a poor man\'s Trey to a T. He\'s toned it down quite a bit, but back in 2001 it was like watching a cheap impression. He made the same faces, played the same guitar, I mean, everything was Trey. After the show I went up to compliment him on his playing. He was just the most pompous **** I\'d ever come across. I wanted to slap him profusely screaming, "YOU ARENT **** TREY ANASTASIO!!"
Reagrdless, I didn\'t care for them at all after. Coming from an unbiased listen I must say, some of it is pretty enjoyable. So yeah, I think The breakfast should team up with them. It would be a stellar tour for sure.
-
Wish I could make the show on thursday but not gonna have my car back by then. Also will probably be missing the paradise show in a couple weeks since I already have bruins tix and I\'m not driving, so I have no say in what we do afterwards....ohh well. Have fun thursday night whoever is going, hope the recording comes out good so I can hear what I missed.
-
I guess I just don\'t understand why people would say negative stuff at all about something as subjective as music.
maybe because it costs money to go see them?
the times i saw them as the main act they were not that good. i dont really mind them as an opener, but after about 45 mins ive had enough. ive seen them several times and tried to get into them but i always end up being bored for most of the show.
-
Nicely said, dave. As fro my take on RAQ, I have listened to half a dozen Raq shows and the mp3 samples on their website and they don\'t sound half bad. I agree with leith that they can have \'off\' sets, but if they were playing London and I had a 300 mile round trip to do (as I have done for sci, mule, keller, will for bisco, would have for panic had Mikey not died - I had tickets twice), I would still make it. I agree a co-bill tour would be good - look at how the UM-bisco co-bills have helped both bands.
krispy, we can\'t all be expected to like every band though - just look at the tlg haters here (though the fans are growing - welcome, chris!). I can\'t stand Particle, who I had the misfortune to see after a 45 minute keller opener, which, incidentally, alone was worth the drive. I also am not relishing the thought of UM at the bisco show, but I will give them a chance live. Many here also know of my dislike of 99% of rap, but I like to think we all respect each others\' tastes. Just because people are passionate and there is some seemingly unfriendly banter, doesn\'t mean we are negative. Yes, perhaps some of us are too defensive of our band, but additionally have you ever heard the expressions "One man\'s meat is another man\'s poison" and "Variety is the spice of life"?
-
krispy - don\'t let this thread fool you. i think you\'d be surprised at the amount of love there actually is for raq around here. we\'ve thrown around the idea of a BRAQfest a ton of times, and there are a lot of people here (myself included) who think that these two bands can do great things for/with each other, and should be touring together.
they\'re just opinions. if no one had opinions, this place would probably not exist at all. there are a lot of different tastes around here, and i think that\'s a good thing. don\'t worry, be happy.

but there is some truth to old adage of if you don\'t have something nice to say...
... the world would be awfully quiet! ;) I get your point... & I\'m actually going to RAQ in a few nights, mainly to promo this band - but, I like the fact that people can disagree over things b/c it makes your points stronger & more worthy!
:P ugh, I\'m ordering a room right now. ciao.
find me. I will taping upstairs. I\'ll buy you a drink for having some intelligent conversation! see ya thursday.

I guess I just don\'t understand why people would say negative stuff at all about something as subjective as music. if I stumbled on a bunch of people talking about how Hansen changed their life I would snicker to myself and move on, not go out of my way to say that Hansen is talentless waste of peroxide that should have been saved for a more worthy cause such as **** stars... I just don\'t get it is all. I am not defending Raq here. I dig em. so what? I also dig the b\'fast. great. whatever.
Now if someone openly said "hey I might go see band "X" what do you think?" then it would make sense to me to answer with "I don\'t dig it" or "it bores me." to each there own. but there is some truth to old adage of if you don\'t have something nice to say...

whatever happened to liking good music? none of this my band your band bullshit.
it\'s too bad cause this used to be a decent scene.
people have different tastes in music - the only reason people are on this forum is their love of this band The Breakfast. Just because we don\'t agree on all other bands does NOT make us negative. I\'ve learned a lot from people on this board about different music styles - some I liked, and some were crap. RAQ, imo (after three SEPARATE tries and attempts at liking them) was not a favorite of mine personally. Just cuz I don\'t like it completely doesn\'t mean I haven\'t given them a chance. :sigh:
-
this has got to be one of the most negative boards on the net. I used to love to come and lurk but now days it seems like you don\'t even have to bash the breakfast, you just mention that there is other music out there and twenty people will jump on you and tell you how much better timmy is than \'your\' band. whatever happened to liking good music? none of this my band your band bullshit.
it\'s too bad cause this used to be a decent scene.

RAQ = Hit or Miss
The Breakfast = Hit Every Time
-
I agree with Chris. And the reason I don\'t like RAQ is because I saw them and they were bad to my earhole. From what I have heard they definitely have much better nights than what I witnessed... but I would have a hard time believing those guys even at their best would be able to put on a show that would impress me.
-
it\'s the flames that keep me coming back. I used to like this place. See ya on Thursday Rich.
-
also just saw keller is playing toads on a wednesday 2/27 timmy tour > keller > timmy tour
-
well people we\'re only a few days away from toads, let\'s try and keep the flames down and support a great band (even if they aren\'t the breakfast)
-
circumstance actually gets played
-
have not listened to this but the verse part of frankly quotes themes from "sexual harrasment in the workplace" by zappa, which is on strictly commercial. That\'s probably what you\'re thinking of.
-
its also the jam from david bowie. the phish song. and some zappa tune that i know is on strictly commercial but can\'t remember what its called. face can probably confirm.

Well, I downloaded the mp3, speeded it up in Cool edit and yes, there are definite hints there, but then the opening then also resembles Miles\' So What. Who cares? It\'s still better than the crap usually played on the radio.
(Make that about sixof us who like Raq!)
-
I actually didn\'t mind it so much, maybe I\'ll DL the show and give it a listen. I actually like the vocal aspect of the music, but that\'s just me.
-
I don\'t hear anything similar between these two songs. I think if you can find a comparison, you\'re trying too hard or listening too closely. Everyone takes sounds from everyone.
without the vocals in the raq song they are the same thing except raq\'s is a little faster and sloppier.
you probably just didnt notice because raq sounds like you are doing this to yourself:

I\'d go to RAQ if they didn\'t completely blow.
i\'d rather go to iRAQ.
well not really, but i think id rather stay home and watch home improvement on nick at nite.
-

I\'d go to RAQ if i didn\'t live in RI
-
I plan on going to RAQ and daniel street, woot!
-
Ehhh... if it wasn\'t RAQ I would call it a definite coincidence. But since it\'s RAQ, there\'s always a chance that they were inspired by The Breakfast.
Also, as much as we collectively **** about "Message in a Bottle", it could be worse (as evidenced by the RAQ show that Joe posted).
-
i don\'t know man...... listening to the version off the album... FPZ sounds more funky, more area rockish bigger longer tones. but i haven\'t heard either version enough to really say
"you will have to wait for radical rich to get here. but i doubt he knows frankly po zest."
Yeah, I know Circumstance though, haha, also, anyone hitting up RAQ at toads on Thursday? Any chance of a Timmy sit in?
I hope so, id be a really good chance to pass out some fliers for Daniel Street
