$100,000 or Brand New (true fans only)

[rob2004]

Imagine this scenario...
Someone offers you $100,000 cash for them to cast a spell on you. The spell mutes your ears to anything ever done by Brand New and Mr. Lacey until the day you die and is irreversible. Would you take the money or Brand New?

[jwicklun]

money.

[Say Nothing]

CAAAASSSSHHHH MOOONNNEEEYYYY!

....This is your show...YO MOMMA!

[IceAge/HeatWave]

it's gotta be cash. you can buy better bands albums with the money.

[domotime2]

i cant imagine anyone picking brand new here....money vs. any band, i pick money.

[fourletterword]

$100,000

[fascism is bad]

money doesnt mean shit to me. plus, 100,000 isnt really all that much

[jwicklun]

money doesnt mean shit to me. plus, 100,000 isnt really all that much
100,000 isnt all that much?! this guy.....

[BulleTheory]

100,000 hands down. theres a ton of other bands that will keep me occupied, brand new isnt that special.

[ghsNICK!]

Brand New Sucksss!

[about3fitty]

considering i dont give two shits about brand new, i would take the money in a heartbeat

[bard]

$$$

[jtjt43]

I love Brand New, but that's far too much money to turn down.

[Brand-new-123]

money. especially after daisy.

[Yellowcard2006]

There are plenty of other bands. I'd do it for 50,000 I love Deja, but I gotta get money, ya feel meh?

[blue_bedlight]

Shit, I'd do it for $10k. I hate Brand New. But if they're offering $100k, I won't argue.

[FueledByRock]

$100,000. I could never get into Brand New. In fact, just earlier today I listened to some of Deja Entendu and it did nothing for me.

[x13looDx]

i've listened to deja entendu enough that i can pretty much replay the album in my head

[suppyguppy]

Love Brand New, but anyone who wouldn't take the money is out of their mind.

[nerdvglc]

Shit, I'd do it for $10k. I hate Brand New. But if they're offering $100k, I won't argue.
if you hate brand new, would you not theoretically do it for $1? it sounds to me like you secretly have a slight interest in their audio glory.

i wouldn't, but more on a level of principle. their music helps win with me. and in the end, i could see myself blowing $100k randomly and then being sad i missed out on new recordings (if they have any) and old favorites.

[bard]

anyone who would rather have their music over $100K is a moron.

[blue_bedlight]

Touche. $10k was just the first number that came to mind while typing. But yes, I would do it for a dollar. Less actually, if given the option. And no, I have no interest whatsoever in their "audio glory". You on the other hand, seem to. Which is fine, more power to you.

[Indoor Living]

Anyone who picks Brand New needs to sit down and rethink how retarded they are.

[nolan182]

as much as i love brand new, the money.

[NeededYouMost]

am i still a "true fan" even if i think Daisy is gods punishment to man?

[spansen]

.... so i'm only only deaf to one band?

ok, that's fine.

[pianorocklove]

$100,000 to never have to hear a band I don't listen to anyways? Yes, plz.

[Spewk]

Eh, I don't think I'll ever like Brand New as much as I did in 8th grade, so 100k.

[HometownHero]

Funny how I picked Brand New over sex but this time chose the money. I need to get laid more

[Sarcasm]

Take the money.

[trappedintime]

dude, seriously? the money.

[Neo Cassady]

money doesnt mean shit to me. plus, 100,000 isnt really all that much

I've set up a PayPal account (http://bit.ly/2KsmMm) for you to transfer your meaningless money to me.

[Sventhegreat]

I love BN and I would still take the 100k. Gotta pay off my student loans somehow...

[Kurt Retenauer]

I've set up a PayPal account (http://bit.ly/2KsmMm) for you to transfer your meaningless money to me.

hahahahaha

[MartyrsCasualty]

brand new isn't really that great..... a better question would have been "would you go deaf to music for 1mil"

[spunkmastaflex]

money, "true fans only" lol

[just.Starla.]

I'm surprised Brand New has almost 20 votes. But of course I would take the money over them anyday.

[bard]

I'm surprised Brand New has almost 20 votes. But of course I would take the money over them anyday.
it's because there are almost 20 morons on this board who's seen this apparently.

[Everiggs]

show me the money.

[And Hours Pass]

I'd do it for $10 and a piece of gum.

[zachff]

Anyone who doesnt take the cash, you better go to every fucking Brand New show they play for the rest of their careers, since economically you value their music more than $100,000

[raychull]

PayPal account (http://bit.ly/2KsmMm)
God damn you.

[timb89]

i can relate to the likelihood of this hypothetical.

[mike'smannequin]

[Poe-tryGirl]

I'd rather listen to Brand New for the rest of my life.

[pennie]

Pretty easy really.

Edit: 34 people chose the stupid answer.

[fightinirish217]

[WhoSaidThat?]

CAAAASSSSHHHH MOOONNNEEEYYYY!

....This is your show...YO MOMMA!
Yo Momma is so ugly, even T-Pain wouldn't buy her a drank!

[Gleebo]

This may be the oddest poll I have ever seen.

[Nick Hull]

It took a second's thought, but Brand New.

[Hay]

it's because there are almost 20 morons on this board who's seen this apparently.

its because most people who voted for brand new wouldnt think twice to take the money in real life and are jsut trying to be annoying

[SincerelyMe]

I love Brand New, but $100,000 could get me through college, so I'll take the money.

[kbi the crowing]

I'm not a huge Brand New fan, but they make some damn good music. Money is always out there.

[bard]

this is true as well
I'm not a huge Brand New fan, but they make some damn good music. Money is always out there.
this is just plain idiotic.

i can't tell if you're joking or not.

seriously, you'd rather listen to a band who aren't your favorite band, or even close i'd imagine, than take $100,000?

yeah, money is always out there. but not this easy to take.

again, anyone who voted for brand new is a complete moron.

[pennie]

47 people now chose the stupid answer.

[kbi the crowing]

I'd rather be able to enjoy whatever music I'd like rather than have some money.
that's my opinion, it differs from yours, such is life.

[lamont_jordan]

Money, definitely. If it was a band like say Radiohead, then we would have a different story.

[AussieBoy]

can you sing the songs in your head???

but anyway, money even if i answered the question to someone i like better such as blink or afi

[jwicklun]

49 people are retarded

[x1onexwo1fx]

I love Brand New, but $100,000 could get me through college, so I'll take the money.

exactly what i was going to say.

[x1onexwo1fx]

49 people are retarded

i think some of those are just people trying to be funny.

which is still retarded.

[x1onexwo1fx]

as much as i love brand new, they're not the kind of band that i can listen to again and again. money it is. if it were jimmy eat world or thrice, it'd be another story. ...i'd probably just hesitate a bit longer before taking the money. yayyy college.

[derekmoyer4]

give me the money and i will be happy. i do not need brand new's music.

[BulleTheory]

I'd rather be able to enjoy whatever music I'd like rather than have some money.
that's my opinion, it differs from yours, such is life.
if brand new is really that innovative to you that you can not find a better band out there, then i really feel bad for you and your music taste.

[Brokenhill]

I think the only band i'd take over that money would be Pink Floyd.

[bard]

even though they're my favorite band ever, i'd still take the money over mewithoutYou.

the lyrics is what makes me love them so much, so at least i could still read the lyrics AND have $100,000

[xsinkshipsx]

$$

[wendjiqn]

lol whoever doesn't take the money must be mentally retarded.

[kbi the crowing]

if brand new is really that innovative to you that you can not find a better band out there, then i really feel bad for you and your music taste.

they aren't that innovative, I know this, they probably aren't in my top 5 either.
I'd rather be able to have the freedom of listening to what I want than to have money, because money isn't everything.

You can disagree all you want, I don't really mind.
& this is simply a hypothetical question, if that situation actually arose I may choose the money, but probably not.

[only the clouds]

I'm 18, my family is financially secure, my parents are putting me through college, and I am not yet well-equipped enough to know how to handle $100,000.
I'd probably go with BN

[pennie]

So you'd rather sponge off your parents than receive $100,000 and pay your own way?

[only the clouds]

So you'd rather sponge off your parents than receive $100,000 and pay your own way?I'd rather mooch off my parents and continue listening to Brand New than receive $100,000 and be able to pay for two years of undergrad tuition, not counting books and other expenses.

[jwicklun]

with 100,000 you would be more financially independent. you would be able to get your own apartment, pay for some of tuition, and then some. You can't mooch off your parents your whole life. And sorry Brand New will not cure your financial problems.

And sorry Brand New will not cure your financial problems.$100,000 is not quite enough to pay for two years' undergrad tuition + room and board. Plus, even if I don't pay tuition, I don't like the thought of getting a $100,000 handicap when I'm supposed to be learning how to live on my own after college. But I have confidence I'll enjoy Brand New for quite a while.

maybe its just me, but I'd rather be an adult and stop borrowing money from my parents. and its one band. its not asking you to sacrifice too much.

[pennie]

That's when I stopped reading. Independence can be your friend.

[only the clouds]

maybe its just me, but I'd rather be an adult and stop borrowing money from my parents. and its one band. its not asking you to sacrifice too much.They're just paying tuition, it's not that uncommon. I pay for everything else and after I graduate then I won't be borrowing from them anymore.

That's when I stopped reading. Independence can be your friend.
All my parents are covering are 4 years' undergrad tuition. I work during the summer so I can pay for my books/other expenses. Like I said, after I graduate I'm on my own.

[jwicklun]

That's when I stopped reading. Independence can be your friend.
my thoughts exactly. right now I'm 20, my parents are paying tuition and I am struggling to find a job. I am not at all comfortable with the situation I am in.

[jwicklun]

are you that much of a brand new fan? I mean I love modest mouse, but getting rid of them isnt like cutting off one of my arms.

[only the clouds]

are you that much of a brand new fan? I mean I love modest mouse, but getting rid of them isnt like cutting off one of my arms.I just don't see the overwhelming benefit of gaining $100,000. If I were guaranteed free college tuition for all four years, then yeah, I'd give up Brand New.

also, if you don't mind having your parents pay for tuition, why don't you just keep the money until you get out of college? then you could get a job, have some spare money, maybe pursue your masters, and all you had to sacrifice is listening to one band. brand new is good, but not that good.

You're talking about independence — I think that handicap counts as something on which I'd come to depend.

ugh, I'll never understand brand new fans

[only the clouds]

Caveat: if by refusing to listen to Brand New, I could create $100,000 out of thin air to be used for the construction of schools for underprivileged children in third-world countries, then I would stop listening immediately. is that any better?

[tonighttonight0]

I'll take the money, I'm getting sick of Brand New

what fucking college are you going to?

[only the clouds]

what fucking college are you going to?Pretty much every small liberal arts college charges $50,000 for tuition + basic fees.

[etheritcher]

I could pay off my student loans and buy a car for that much money. Will listening to Brand New do either of these things for me? no.

[kbi the crowing]

yeah but most schools like that give you a shit ton of aid

I'd do it for $50.

[tenminutes]

I just don't see the overwhelming benefit of gaining $100,000. If I were guaranteed free college tuition for all four years, then yeah, I'd give up Brand New.

wait...what?! you don't see the benefit of obtaining 100k because it would only cover half of your tuition? there is absolutely no logic in that response.

ha. but seriously...you could transfer to a state school (that actually provides you a good return on investment) and use the extra tens of thousands of dollars you would save to build a school in a third world country.

ha. but seriously...you could transfer to a state school (that actually provides you a good return on investment) and use the extra tens of thousands of dollars you would save to build a school in a third world country.a) I'm not paying for my tuition.
b) By handicap I mean advantage.
c) Or I could get a more thorough education at the school I'm currently attending. If you're going to call me selfish for choosing education over charity, realize that I'm no more or less selfish than the thousands of other kids doing the same thing.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Money, no question. It wouldn't even have to be that large of a sum.

[marleymartin22]

I really need a new car so....

[everybodywakeup]

This is such a strange poll. That said, I'm taking the money.

[OnLettingGo]

make it enough to pay off college and med school.

i love bn to death but i've listened to them so much i think getting cut off now wouldn't make much of a difference.

[jwicklun]

but back to the bigger point...is brand new that important to you?

[leifstar]

Maybe a million. But 100k? def not.

[jwicklun]

Maybe a million. But 100k? def not.
again....is brand new that important?

[leifstar]

again....is brand new that important?

is money really that important?

to me $100,000 is not a lot of money and wouldn't last that long. where brand new would last a life time. And I'd choose many bands over $100,000 not just brand new.

its not asking you to sacrifice all music. just one band.

[Matt Chylak]

where does it end?

[leifstar]

its not asking you to sacrifice all music. just one band.


I know it is. I said, even if it wasn't just brand new, I'd chose the band. For example, $100,000 and not listening to [Insert Band] ever again or no money and you can still listen to that one band, I would chose that band. ( Of course depends on the band).

[Tim Lincecum]

man it would suck to not be able to listen to brand new, but had to go with the money :-\

[Formatfun]

I chose the money.

I hope someone could cover the whole YFW album though, so I could enjoy the music without BN playing it.

lol THIS is fuckin dumb. im sure your parents would love some help.

[denissuxx]

Cash.. but answer would've been different before Daisy

[only the clouds]

lol THIS is fuckin dumb. im sure your parents would love some help.
Well, it's impossible for you to be sure because you don't know them.
This isn't even relevant. The only point I'm trying to make is that I would rather be able to listen to Brand New than have $100,000 in my own bank account.

[ElevenElm]

i like brand new alright, but dammit i need to afford college.

I'm not casting a vote because the stupidity of this poll rubbed off on me and I forgot how to use my mouse.
