Amazingly brilliantly beautiful.

Would it be wrong to assume this is a possible comeback?

I missed that thread, holy crap this wuold make this year amazing... and if northstart got back together too. man.A Northstar reunion is highly unlikely, especially with Cassino just starting to get going.

[alexwohl29_90]

Yeah I forgot about this...well not really, i was thinking about them a couple of days ago...


but Yessssss

[I am all talk]

such good news.

[irthesteve]

very interesting

[N8IVIin0rity]

i sed it once. ill say it again. the worst break-up of 2K5 wasnt nick and jessica. it was Name Taken. they need to make a comeback like roger clemens did.

[dekdog11]

fuck yes
come back!

[hubbabubbal3ts]

stop toying with my emotions. please come back.

[invincibleXL]

"what is this" sounds good. I hope this band comes back full throttle.

[Steve Henderson]

I think "What is this" is old, but the other one is new.

[screamoutmyname]

:D sweeeeet

[Hidenothing27]

I think "What is this" is old, but the other one is new.


Correct... and as much as i love this band i know for a fact they are not getting back together.. if they did im pretty sure juan would not be apart of the equation even though he is the best drummer i have ever seen live, he is playing with a new band that sounds good musically but their singer is horrific.

[ticklemyfancy]

wow im so excited for this news im about to cream myself

[Steve Henderson]

[Manbotisdead]

that sounded pretty good.

[raycer]

ill agree on you with bass players, but drummers? especially drummers as good as juan? thats pretty hard ;)

[resUrectMe617]

i've gotta say, my name taken hoodie has been hanging on the back of my door untouched for awhile...but these clips are good and i'd love for them to come back. hold on was def in my top 10 for its release year.

[Steve Henderson]

ill agree on you with bass players, but drummers? especially drummers as good as juan? thats pretty hard ;)Oh, I do not doubt it, but on Hold On, the production is skewed so far towards vocals/guitars, it is hard to hear much else :)

[Grybo]

im more excited for this than warped tour tomorrow

[middlenameboom]

Again i'll agree with bass players. But sometimes bands really hinge on drummers. For example once finch kicked there drummer out there band went to shit, same thing with juliana theory, once they lost there drummer there music went to poo. In some bands a drummer can be easily replaced, but sometime the drummer makes the band. Could you imagine blink 182 making there last album with there old drummer. Also I know that all these bands have broken up, and in the case of finch I think it's because once drummers left the sound changed so much that no on liked them any more, but heres another example, could any one see the fall of troy with out there drummer? Also I really look forward to name taken coming back.

[Sailor Tattoos]

if name taken gets back together...my brain just might explode

[superplaid]

exlpoding brain in progress

[Hidenothing27]

the only thing id say man is that juan didnt play on hold on, danny did they're original drummer.

[Steve Henderson]

the only thing id say man is that juan didnt play on hold on, danny did they're original drummer.Oh, okay...I have never seen them live, so I wouldn't know Juan.

i'm pretty sure they could find another drummer with the same or even better ability as juan. i know they have gone through a couple of drummers throughout their career. i'm sure they could find another.

[ForeverInADay]

holy fucking shit!

[I was Brad]

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS i think i just prematurally went all through my pants im that excited.

[xearlynovemberx]

there is a god afterall

[redeyes]

these aren't name taken songs though. these are all cooky, and don't have actual like name taken parts.

[Jim Morgan]

fuck yes pleaseee get back together.

[timmysavedlatin]

i'm pretty sure they could find another drummer with the same or even better ability as juan. i know they have gone through a couple of drummers throughout their career. i'm sure they could find another.

danni v. was way better than juan creatively and way tighter live.

[YourFaceIsFunny]

I really really really really really hope this is a hint to them getting back together...

[FuryCore]

What are these?! I love Name Taken as much as the next person (well, Hold On, at least), but are they an instrumental band now?

[AniteToRemember]

i love name taken. I have seen them many times and I aboslutely love them. I saw them play with Say Anything and The Matches a few years ago with like a hundred kids. Greatest show of my life. Hope they come back

[Jacktheskipper]

To the person that said FInch went to shit, when they changed their drummer ... do you know anything about drumming in general?!? He is the way better drummer than their first one ... his technical abilities are wayyyyy beyond the abilities of their first drummer and Finch hired him, because the old drummer couldn`t contribute to their new style ... as far is I know ;-) ...

I never said he wasn't a better drummer. You totally missed the point of my entire argument. He probably was a better drummer, but changing their drummer resulted in a big sound change, which resulted in them loosing their fans, and them breaking up. In my opinion.

[duffe]

yes !

You know nothing, they have been practicing quite often actually, and Juan is up in the air...

Hate to say it, but in general, I'd say drummers and bass players are most easily replaced. So true, but in this band drums are crucial, it drives Name Taken songs. From what I heard Juan wants in, I don't know anything else but that, so if he is replaced they are gonna need to find a hecka good drummer, to play danny's parts and make new ones.
