Yellowcard Cancels Show

[Jonathan Lally]

Tonight's Yellowcard (http://www.yellowcardrock.com) / Mae (http://www.whatismae.com) / Over It (http://www.punkrocks.net/_overit/) show at Slims in San Francisco, CA has been cancelled due to a band member illness in Yellowcard. Stay tuned for ticket exchange / refund information. Here's to a speedy recovery.

[Paul Tao]

I went to this last night and even though I'm really not a fan of Yellowcard at all (I went to see Over It), I have to say, they put on a pretty good live show.

[MusicOrMisery]

I wonder if thats Ryan's vocal nubole again...

[Jonathan Lally]

I have a feeling this (http://www.vmsdigital.com/download/020606/NLA150386_01.WMV) might be a good indication of why they had to cancel. Too bad :( I was stoked to see them, oh well.

[MusicOrMisery]

Ugh, they sound horrible on that.

[romantic rights]

mae and over it should still play.

[starcrossdlovex]

They cancelled it cause Ryan's sick.
surprise

[jeremyfromva]

mae and over it should still play.


Agreed...I think the majority of the people would be just as happy with just those 2 bands

[splitsecond]

I dont see why the other bands dont play, but whatever. Ryan is a bitch.

[Jonathan Lally]

Agreed...I think the majority of the people would be just as happy with just those 2 bands

I'm gonna call the Mae/Over It guys and take them out for beers. heh.

you went to see Over It....over it is horrible live. they can't sing on key to save their lives.

who you SHOULD have gone for is Mae. THERE is a good live band.

[Jonathan Lally]

must've seen Over It on a bad night.. every time I've seen them, they've been nothing short of amazing.

I don't understand, I watched them on Leno last night and they seemed fine, a decent show. What did you see that I don't?

[Jonathan Lally]

I don't understand, I watched them on Leno last night and they seemed fine, a decent show. What did you see that I don't?

It's not horrible.. but I think he sounds like he's having slight vocal troubles.. I even told the person who sent me this that he still pulled it off well for a person who was having issues.

[preppyak]

I don't understand, I watched them on Leno last night and they seemed fine, a decent show. What did you see that I don't?
Where is the range on his voice, he goes nowhere near any high notes, maybe thats just the way the song sounds?

[ClemTiger0408]

If you ever see them live, he always does that. Its just easier to tell on like Leno and talk shows because the mixing is so perfect, at shows the vocals are often drowned out. But I watched them on that MTV $2 thing and he did the exact same thing. He pulls away from the mic when he has to sing the really high notes.

[jawkneephighv]

mae and over it should still play.exactly. i'm so fucking upset. this would have been my first time see those two. :(

[Slovo]

Are they gonna wear matching outfits forever now? The Hives want their gimmick back.

[jawkneephighv]

Too bad :( I was stoked to see them, oh well.Oh wow, he is definitely sick [no sarcasm] because when I sing when I'm sick, I have to force myself and that's pretty much how it sounds -- like shit. I'm not gonna be a dick and be like "fuck you Ryan" because people DO get sick. So yeah...here's to a speedy recovery...asshole.

[jawkneephighv]

Are they gonna wear matching outfits forever now? The Hives want their gimmick back.Right, because The Hives started it all, dipshit.

[Jonathan Lally]

Never heard of the Beatles, have you? kidding.

[Jonathan Lally]

Oh wow, he is definitely sick [no sarcasm] because when I sing when I'm sick, I have to force myself and that's pretty much how it sounds -- like shit. I'm not gonna be a dick and be like "fuck you Ryan" because people DO get sick. So yeah...here's to a speedy recovery...asshole.

I don't get the "..asshole" part.. lol..

[jawkneephighv]

I don't get the "..asshole" part.. lol..I got mad at the end because think about it...Mae and Over It -- that's a fine concert right there.

But seriously folks -- get better Ryan.

[jawkneephighv]

Never heard of the Beatles, have you? kidding.Hahaha no you're not.

[Jonathan Lally]

I got mad at the end because think about it...Mae and Over It -- that's a fine concert right there.

But seriously fokls -- get better Ryan.

haha OK, no I agree, I love all three bands.. it totally sucks it had to be cancelled.. nodules are no joke, my friend Eric (Facing New York) had one and it was a very serious ordeal. I hope Ryan recovers well.

[jawkneephighv]

[Jonathan Lally]

I don't feel like looking it up -- what is it?

I don't know the best way to describe it so I'll do my best (and I'm sure someone will pop in and correct me, but I know it's coming so please do so..) As far as I know it's somewhat of a bump/inflamation on your vocal node(s) (located in your throat.. duh, yes I know.) It can be really, really bad if not treated ASAP.. Andrew McMahon had something very similar, except his was cancerous.. Acute Lymphatic Leukemia.

[Jonathan Lally]

Daaaaang. Thanks for the information.

no problem.. I did a quick Ask Jeeves search to get you more information.. check it out here (http://www.asha.org/public/speech/disorders/nodules_polyps.htm).

[TommyGunn]

these guys look more and more unhappy everytime I see them. Where is the "energy". They look like they dont even know each other or something? It's a hard thing to describe.

But anyway, I have money that says this band breaks up after this album.

[satanisanerd]

Oh boo hoo poor little Yellowcard. Whatever, they suck.

[Slovo]

Right, because The Hives started it all, dipshit.
Maaaan, this is why I don't talk on the boards... I'm aware the Hives aren't the first, and I'm sure the beatles weren't either.

All I'm wondering is if this is the band's call or the label makes them dress like that.

[Billy]

I like how they wear matching outfits

[jawkneephighv]

these guys look more and more unhappy everytime I see them. Where is the "energy". They look like they dont even know each other or something? It's a hard thing to describe.

But anyway, I have money that says this band breaks up after this album.I agree on all counts. :\

I guess money really does talk. I doubt they'll break up.. far too successful to break up.. and um, look how many records "Lights and Sounds" sold in it's first week, not bad..

[Jonathan Lally]

I think you're making them out to be more corporate than they really are.. honestly, maybe it's just how they prefer to dress these days.. I can honestly say I've changed the way I dress just based on how I feel at the moment.. I think we all do it from time to time..

[Slovo]

In no way did I mean to make them out to be corporate whores or anything to that degree, I just notice that when bands disappear for a while then come back to the public eye with a new record, not so much their image, but their wardrobe has changed. I noticed it with blink when TOYPAJ came out, they dropped all the hurley and dickies and opted for all black/gray; Green Day with American Idiot, Mest with Photographs... all I'm wondering is if this is something the entire band has come to agree on, or if it's a gimmick. It's just coincidental that all the members wear the same colors for TV/ Video appearances.

[bruisexblackeye]

did ben harper have to choke a bitch?

ha I do agree with you.. it's definitely a subject I've pondered from time to time.. heh, I always imagined like a band meeting.. to discuss their wardrobe for the year.. haha.. but who knows how it really works..

Honeslty, dude. These dudes are on national tv and they look miserable. You'd think being on Leno would be enough to make them smile once or twice. I'm definitely with you in anticipating a break up. Sucks but oh well. Sometimes businesses... errr... I mean bands, just fail.

[Jonathan Lally]

I'm not completely disputing your argument.. but their profession is very stressful and strenuous.. they might have been tired, I probably would have been in their situation also after relentless touring and promotion of a record..

[BrandFuckingNew]

i'm pretty sure leukemias a blood disease, doc.

dude, go get a node on your vocal chord and then go try to sing and look happy...

you have no frame of reference and you are out of your fucking element. haha.

the only way to truly heal a node is to just NOT sing for several months until the node goes away. and obviously ryan isn't going to get that privledge. the only other option is to have laser surgery to remove the node, which is kind of like a quick fix...but there will always be scar tissue and your voice will always go downhill unless you give it the time it needs to completely heal and go away. the same thing happens with all these rock bands, cuz they don't respect their voices at all.

aerosmith is a classic example. but more recently: the used, yellowcard, story of the year, brand new, etc.etc.

that's why jessey was smart to go in and record their second album without a ton of crazy vocals, unlike ryan, bert, etc. who go all out in the studio and then have to duplicate that 365 days a year. it will take a toll on your voice and ruin it. a node is similar to a callous on your vocals chord(s) from them rubbing together violently over and over and over again (due to singing improperly). it's a completely different issue than andrew's leukemia (sp?). they are not related at all.

[BrandFuckingNew]

who in the world cant fake enthusiasm for 3 and a half minutes?
even the drummer looked sad. arent black people always happy?

[Jonathan Lally]

i'm pretty sure leukemias a blood disease, doc.

haven't we talked on AIM? I recognize your screen name but I can't remember why..

like I said, I'm not a professional when it comes to this stuff.. not by any means..

[Jonathan Lally]

it's a completely different issue than andrew's leukemia (sp?). they are not related at all.

OK sorry, like I said, I'm no expert! I realize this now! haha

As far as I can tell, doc, Ryan is the singer in this band and Ryan is the one who has the vocal problem. I can completely understand why he would look uncomfortable, or unhappy. What is everyone elses excuse though? Does every other member in the band have a hand problem which is making them feel discomfort? Or are they just having sympathy pains? Probably both, right? I wasn't JUST talking about Ryan in my comment, and I also wasn't talking about JUST that apperance. The members of this band have looked miserable for months, in my opinion.

[BrandFuckingNew]

haven't we talked on AIM? I recognize your screen name but I can't remember why..
we cyber regularly, duh.

[Jonathan Lally]

we cyber regularly, duh.

oh snap! now I remember.. are we still on for 9?

[Jonathan Lally]

there is nothing yellow about yellowcard

ryan's hair. the attached photo was taken at last night's show at the Avalon in LA.

[bste_lax]

I know everyone likes to hate on them now but I went to the show last night and they put on a show much better than I expected. Lots of energy, everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves on stage. Their live performance won me over.

[dude]

People are asking why they didn't seem happy. Its not a happy song, why would they be all smiley? Ocean Avenue is a happy little song with some bounce. Lights and Sounds isn't.

[rufiocardtime]

who cares man...they're a band...not the fucking barney brigade. who cares if they don't smile into the camera.

and who the hell wants to fake enthusiasm, because then you'd have a million kids on message boards saying "Lyke OMGGZZZ!! yellowcard is so fake. fall out boy rox my sox off."

[TommyGunn]

I guess money really does talk. I doubt they'll break up.. far too successful to break up.. and um, look how many records "Lights and Sounds" sold in it's first week, not bad..

2nd week was a disaster though.

[FantomPJ]

That blows....

[ActorInThisPlay]

I went to this last night and even though I'm really not a fan of Yellowcard at all (I went to see Over It), I have to say, they put on a pretty good live show.
yeah I was there too and they all seemed fine to me. YC puts on a hell of a show if you ask me.

[dude]

2nd week was a disaster though.


their second week with lights and sounds was such a disaster that it landed right where OA peaked.

[jarjarbinks]

yeah, selling 40,000 records in a week is definitely a disaster...hahaha.

[ra223]

So for some odd reason i've been in love with yellowcard latley no joke. I've been listening to OFTK so much, the underdog EP and the ocasional Ocean Avenue for some songs and man i am kicking it, i have not touched lights and sounds since i first listned to it. In my opinion all the older stuff is still so good, and i'm still waiting for their 2nd major label record becuase in my eyes Lights and Sounds never happend, it was a terrible cd made by some band posing as yellowcard.

[motivatedchange]

It would have been nice had they announced it a little earlier. Like last night or something.
Instead of after my friend and I had already gotten to the venue.

The manager at Slim's wasn't notified either, he didn't find out until he got there and went to set up the WillCall list.

Neither were the opening acts... Mae showed up as we were leaving and they were PISSED.

And as of right now, they don't think they'll be a makeup date.

[rufiocardtime]

the word on the street is they're gonna have the cancel the rest of the tour.
