ummmm, i\'m with leith. soooary? i dunno....seems wrong to me :)
:duck:
-
were all like a family here...
B-fam if I remember correctly! Remember folks it\'s all about the music, smiles, and good times... and a few drinks & such along the way. O.K. everybody... take a step back, and take another step back, and take yet another step back, and another, take a step back. Everybody feel better?? ...Whadaya mean NO!

He didn\'t say "does", he said "supposed to do". Big difference.
Logic & Comprehension win again!

while i understand leith\'s position, i profer an alternate...
i think the band members should ONLY post flames and degradations!!
imagine meeting up at a show and being able to get into discussions about what **** up stuff the band had to say about you?!
\'dangle told me i was stupider than joe and yoda\'s oxygen starved love child!\'
\'no way, adrian told me that i could suck klout\'s inverted and dsylexic ****!\'
\'shhheeeeetttt, that ain\'t nothin\'! dangle AND adrian BOTH told me i was sorrier than gabo\'s attempts at post-show driving, so there!!!\'
\'damn, tim just told me i was more worn out than bonzo\'s thumbs... i suck. :( \'
\'guess you need to post more, brah...\'
well played. bonus points for knockin\' 2 gypsies in one post.

This isn\'t nam, Smokey, this is rock music, there are rules...

some quality posts above. I don\'t feel like putting in a whole lot of effort here today.. but I like the fact that the band members post on the forum. Besides its the Breakfast who really gives a **** what they\'re "supposed to do"... rock and roll baby
**** you\'re right.
Who really gives a **** what this band does?
Obviously only the people here.

heres some food for thought that me and tim have discussed several times:
Why do people start rock bands, or go on the road with rock bands, or follow rock bands and so on??
Not to work a 9-5 and to pretty much say **** rules. Last I checked, the glory of rock n\' roll is wraped in the cozy blanket of defiance and rebellion. So I say keep talking guys, especially Doozer, he gets his balls broken a lot and he should have the right to give something back every so often.
Don\'t you have to be driving to Colorado or something?

Hear, hear!!
I think it\'s great the band hang out here and post - makes us all feel part of the same family - even distant cousins like me.

Not playing Sweden
The band was going to play in sweden?

Amen brother.
I think its great that the band members participate in the fan forum. I like that they make themselves accessible to their fans. It makes it seem more real to me. I dig on that.
Hoping to hit the westcott/java run here coming up. I might have to sell a kidney or something.

I don\'t think band members should post in a normal manner on a fan forum.
Stating opinions, giving information out or defending the band from a misconception on a fan forum is understandable and acceptable.
Taking that any further and directly insulting ANY FAN on the forum is classless and totally out of line.
Band Members should take the high road if they feel directly insulted and reply via PM or have Dave take care of the offending posts if the complaint is legit.
That\'s just my .02
More hyper sensitive west coast garbage. Get a helmet Leith.
-
I don\'t have any problem with leith\'s thread/original post either. He\'s also exercising his right to say what he wants. My dissent was specifically meant to support the counter, in this case the band\'s right to do the same, to say what they want. leith, if you feel that the band shouldn\'t post some smack towards fans, fine, it\'s not unreasonable. I just disagree. As long as the band doesn\'t respond with submission (to leith\'s request), I am fully okay with leith\'s pov. I\'m not riding the fence here, I just don\'t think anyone should keep quiet if they have something to say. There haven\'t been any threats or seriously violent words thrown around, so **** it.... I\'m just hungry, man. Let\'s just go out and find some barbecue or something.

Rules and fools, drool! yeah, doing Dr. Suess rhyming at pre-k today...

how about who cares....this bored has too many rules and whiny fools....xoxo

Lord knows I\'ve said some things I wouldn\'t typically delve into being of sound mind and body. (Foot has been in the mouth recently actually)...Of course the screen lets us \'wear masks\' and say something we may not explicitly say if we were in person. However, I think it\'s decent to 1) be honest and 2) remember we\'re humans who all make mistakes. If these dudes want to joke around, let it be.
At least they\'re decent enough not to try and slam us for $100 a ticket (although I\'d surely pay it if I could). That\'s why I think \'phishdom\' mentality is getting to be kinda ridiculous. I appreciate that these guys obviously do this for the love of the music and not the fame, fanfare, or riches. Of course, it would be nice not to have to wonder how you\'re going to pay the bills, but that\'s why we\'re here-- to spread the joyous word!

Perhaps the band shouldn\'t be posting on the forums so casually. But the fans shouldn\'t be telling the band what to do. Leith you said the band should have taken the high road and sent a PM, why didn\'t you do the same instead of starting this thread? If you think the band is being unprofessional by making statements in the middle of one thread, why make a new thread pointing it out?
Because I am a fan and do not have to be professional. I have stated this opinion before and will continue to.
Personally I think it is great that the band posts on here. Any questions I have about the band/music get real responses. If I want to know what strings Tim uses why shouldnt I be able to post a thread and get the info from the man himself?
Uh. That would fall under the bold type in my quote.
And all this talk about professionalism? This is not the Breakfast\'s official site. Are WB and Capitol record Producers scouring .info to find out more about the band? Should we expect a Rolling Stone expose on saturday night\'s shows internet discussion forum\'s posting from a bandmember? Puh-leeze.
This is the ONLY site associated with the band that has a fan forum. So it would behoove them to treat it as if it were their Official fan forum.
I get your point leith but you are making something out of nothing.
And that\'s different from most of my threads how?
As I said in my first post this is merely my .02 and as is there wont the band will most likely shake their head mutter something mildly derogatory and move on.
As should many of you.
dickhead,i mean leith,you seem to have a problem with almost everything thats goin on over here.what on gods green earth are you doing wasting your time over here then?
trust me,folks will sleep just fine at night knowing the bitchy,whiny(other)dot infoer isnt around anymore.
dont let the door hit u in the arse,brah.
its america.these cats play the tunes that folks are talking about in here,why not take part in said conversations?
and when folks wanna act up and talk ****,why cant they call them on it?because theyre in the band?
naaaaaa kid.thats dick.
What? Huh? Speak up kid. What are blabbering about?

leith...
i disagree.
the bands opinions (yoda being an ****/ joe being a crazy little twerp, hehe) are just as valid here as your opinion is (band members insulting fans on the internet is not classy)...
the internet gives us an avenue to be classless, as you have proven, time and time again....

:lol:
I still say **** it. These "rules of professionalism" can eat a dick. I\'ll take unveiled honesty over censorship any day. If you want to say something Chris, say it. As long as you guys tear **** up on stage I could care less what is said. I\'m here for great music, and y\'all deliver it. .info is just elevator music, we all just happen to spend a lot of quality time (good and bad) in the elevator, and I appreciate the hell out of it. So please, continue to spit fire over the internet if you want to, just as you do live with ye fingertips. Save the clocktower!

Come on lauren it\'s over....just let it be

I guess I just like a good fashion internet rumble, can\'t help myself. One time in an entire year aint so bad. I must go now......perhaps I\'ll see you here again someday...goodbye...
attn .info.....i believe someones feelings got hurt. boo freakin hoo....:wave:
:wave:

i personally dont mind when the band gets involved, as long as they dont go over the top (like leith usually does) :duck:

Adrian, bring the pots and pans instead of the drums, then we can chow down after the ruckus!
-
correct yoda!
congratulations to adrian for being the first to ever say that! :yay:
my .02 is that everyone has the right to say whatever they want here short of just ripping on someone for no reason. if tim wants to set up an account here and someone calls him out and he decides to respond to the complaint, then fine, it\'s up to him. If however, tim just started writing horrible stuff about someone for no reason whatsoever outside of a personal gripe, then take it elsewhere.
Past that, I absolutely agree 100% with leiths comment that as a member of the band you should hold yourself to a higher standard and keep it to official statements about the band, shows, etc. But that\'s what I would (try to) do if I was in the band. I\'m not, it\'s not my place to say how to run their buisness. End of debate. If they want to post, let them.
And to devils advocate myself, as just a fan and not someone who knows the band, I think it\'s kind of cool that the band members read and post on the board. If I could go to a message board back in 96 and tell trey I though his solo sucked the night before and he called me out, I\'d think it was pretty damn cool. The fact that he was responding to me, good or bad would give me a deeper connection to the band and make me like them more. Unless they turned out to be pricks. :lol:
That\'s not an official statement btw, you\'d have to go to dave for one of those. Just my opinion.
-
if we do a food fight which is a great idea,i don\'t think my drums will make an apearance that evening.
just bring a tarp.
-
i think it makes it more fun for them to mix it up with us, how cool would it have been if there was a dead.info back in the day and jerry, phil or bobby would talk to fans. or if trey or fishman or the rest of the band talked with fans too. any band doing that would be awesome, and only add to the feeling of a family type atmosphere. i\'m not insulted, i doubt dave is. however, leave it up to leith to explain how it\'s all supposed to be. thank god. the wise old voice of reason. looks like it was appreciated by all too.

Leith, you don\'t make the rules for the band, OR for this forum. Have you been insulted by a band member on this forum? If not, then what the **** are you whining about? what was the insult that promted you to start this thread? was it "Boo freakin hoo?" cause ser dude, who cares?!
Not playing Sweden, although I don\'t agree with Leith, I understand what he\'s saying. His point is that fans pay the bill. If you insult the fans, they stop paying the bills. That being said, Leith has every right to expression his opinion in this online "forum".
Actually my point is:
Professionals act like it.
Even when it sucks to do so.
That is one point I can\'t argue.

Food For Thought Food Fight?

$7 - cover charge
$30 - gas
$50 - fleabag motel because it\'s upstate NYC.

Now you\'re talkin\', bring the tomatoes!

Long live Free Speech. If someone doesn\'t want to pay a measley $7 to have their balls melt because their emotions are injured, **** \'em. I\'ll be there even if the band starts throwing tomatoes at the crowd.
thatguy is so short. What, you got somethin\' to say brah? SAY IT THEN!

ummmm, i\'m with leith. soooary? i dunno....seems wrong to me :)

This should provide some great entertainment for awhile. Dangle, don\'t leave, not now.. Let it all hangle out.
There is something beautiful about seeing your favorite band\'s members talk some first-hand smack to fans on a first-name basis. Don\'t kill the specialness of it leith, a little controversy makes for a whole lotta rock & roll.
I see both sides, but I\'m certainly on Team Band Should Be Able To ****-talk. **** you Yoda! Haaaahahaha.... ;)

yeah we are all well aware that Leith has a right to post his whining threads. And I get it too, bad idea too insult your fans, but come on, was anyone really insulted or is this just another chance for Leith to **** about what the band does.

correct yoda!were all like a family here..its not like were a huge high profile band or anything.calm down leith,don\'t take **** so seriously.
-
Let\'s be honest, 99% of the people on this site are on a personal level with the band. If the band does something that we don\'t like, we call them out and vice versa... No harm done...
-
:shrug: I think the band has the right to comment on THEIR band, since, technically, this forum wouldn\'t exist w/o them. That being said, I do agree w/ you leith. The only comments should be for clarification purposes, or in good nature.

Did i totally miss something today?

i\'m from east haven.were kind of retarded.

jesus christ man. that does for me on here. peace out
