[nagohmada]

that is huge for them

[bruisexblackeye]

I love bands that can't write their own songs.

[GreenJellyBean]

woww.

i might go see them at the troc.

[Chris Fallon]

I think I'll go on Dec. 6th. The lineup is pretty good, in my opinion.

[BrokenWindow]

I love bands that can't write their own songs.
What exactly are you referring to? One song? Or like their whole cd? I'm just curious.

[SingleDoubt]

What exactly are you referring to? One song? Or like their whole cd? I'm just curious.

the whole cd

[bruisexblackeye]

What exactly are you referring to? One song? Or like their whole cd? I'm just curious.

if you look in the credits on their album the same dudes that "helped" write the Cobra Starship album "helped" BLG's singer write the album.

[FrostedFlames]

Its crap that the AAR/MCS/Format tour isnt coming to Portland. But what is even more crap is that Boys Like Girls wont even be playing the Portland date (12/1) of the Punchline/Spitalfield tour.

/stomps his feet in anger

This kid is so pathetic. "OH DARN! they co-wrote songs with people!!!! lets not like BLG." You're a n00b.

Why do you have a problem with that?

A band that plays it's own instruments shouldn't have other people writing their songs.

Don't talk shit.

[Punkdc]

A lot of bands have help...Misfits, Bowling For Soup just to name a few. Isn't that also the producers job to help flesh out a lot of the songs?

[Rohan Kohli]

A lot of bands have help...Misfits, Bowling For Soup just to name a few. Isn't that also the producers job to help flesh out a lot of the songs?

The Beatles too

They're not producing though, they're writing the songs.

i think its pretty pathetic when someone can't write their own songs, that's all.
& i'm a n00b? yeah i've been reading this site for years.

[MidwestHeart]

Does anyone have a lighter?
BECAUSE YOU JUST GOT BURNED!
hahahahaha oh man

What does a reading a website have to do with being a n00b? If you're clueless, you're clueless...

Who cares who writes the songs? If an album is good, it just is...

Don't attack someone for saying the truth.

[NanoSR]

this is huge for them - so stoked to see them getting bigger tours. They credit the people that helped them write songs - whats wrong with that? Lots of bands have people sit in and help them write, like previously named. Not like they're trying to hide anything. This band rules and I'm waiting to see them blow up

[GreenDayIdiot]

yknow, ELVIS never wrote ANY music in his career. Led zeppelin covered lots of old blues tunes. eric clapton did the same and even had an album called "me and mr johnson" which referred to robert johnson, a legendary blues artist from the early 1900's.

so... i'd just back off for a sec and think about the above statement for a mement. think about what it might be like if elvis never became a star. music as we know it probably wouldnt exist.

how does that make me clueless?
& sorry i value talent & integrity.

[saysmydoctor]

Don't attack someone for saying the truth.
Their truth was only partially accurate.

Here, lemme use an example that you'll understand: P!ATD got help from Pete Wentz on their album.

If you are gunna shit talk a band, have ACCURATE shit. Until then, die.

[saysmydoctor]

You value dumbassery and douchebaggery. Quit living.

It's not shit talking when it's the truth.

Pete wrote some lyrics for Panic, some got used, others didn't. But their entire cd wasn't co-written.

You're 16 so I'll chalk up your comebacks to immaturity but once you grow up and mature, you'll realize that telling someone to die isn't really an effective way to argue, therefore you lose this one. Sorry bud.

[*crying stars*]

december 10th? that would make a pretty good birthday present...

i love how people are still arguing over something so ridiculous.
let it go, guys.

Boys Like Girls' entire CD wasn't co-written either...

I don't get what the big deal is... isn't it supposed to be about the MUSIC? You are just getting caught up in what is "scene" and the process behind the songs... if you don't like the songs, then don't listen to the band. If you are bitching about co-writes, you are not in it for the MUSIC, but for the politics/"coolness" of the scene and you need to re-evaluate whether or not you truly love MUSIC.

[trackrecord182]

that's awesome for them.

does anyone know if they will be replaced on the rest of the spitalfield/punchline tour with another band then? i was gonna see them on that but that ain't happening any more

[xXCh!215Xx]

awesome st. paul.

[garlicgirl1210]

wow, another reason to be bummed out that this tour is not stopping by portland.
good for them though. really. this is a stellar tour.

last time i checked lyrics were a part of music.

[xTeddyBearx]

Ok...??? Sweet?

[surfwaxsideshow]

I think cowriting is pretty lame BUT martin was writing better songs at 16 than most of the songs that ended up being on the BLG album. What sells is not the same as what is artistically good most of the time and I'd care a lot more that the BLG album was cowritten if I didn't know for a fact that they are capable of writing truly good songs on their own.

[molly1984]

so is gym class heroes dropping off the tour starting dec 1 and boys like girls replacing them?

by the way, the last few also have MCS and the format... you just have to click the link on their myspace tour date list to see it

[Julia Conny]

Tour whores.

[BGP]

Tour whores.
And still no north east ohio date.....:-|

[whitelines]

there is nothing wrong with co-writing songs or whatever. its sort of like a handjob, now is there anything wrong with a hanjob?

[saysmydoctor]

Oh, clever. Cowriting goes on all the time. Some people need a little help tweeking things and they a seek an outsiders' perspective. How dare they make the lyrics better for your enjoyment?

Those bastards.
there is nothing wrong with co-writing songs or whatever. its sort of like a handjob, now is there anything wrong with a hanjob?
Bad example, but I see your point.

[Julia Conny]

You should kick them in the knees.

[S84newt2000]

I could care less if they wrote the songs or not.

[fifpb99]

A band that plays it's own instruments shouldn't have other people writing their songs.

Don't talk shit.

Didn't Max Bemis get help writing the lyrics for "...Is A Real Boy?" There's nothing wrong with help... it doesn't necessarily mean they wrote if for you. Just because your good at writing music and playing an instrument doesn't mean you will automatically be able to get your thoughts down on paper exactly how you'd like to. I don't know what happened in this case, but if they had someone write the lyrics FOR them, not helping them, that's where I'd draw the line. But help is definitley not a bad thing.

[1000shadesofred]

I love bands that can't write their own songs.

explain ? im curious...... i love boys like girls though

[1000shadesofred]

& i'm a n00b? yeah i've been reading this site for years.


youve been reading for 2... thats barely a streak... who cares if they had help or whatever, its a good album, great production, they are more talented than you so stop crying and go punch yourself in the face

[sdbrown]

Why in the world is AAR cominig to U of I AFTER winter break starts? The population is literally going to fall by about 20,000. Stupid. I'm still driving the 3 hrs to catch them, but this is a stupid decision.

[myARMISTICE]

while we are on this subject..did anyone know that ex members of the MA based band THE DRIVE (fake id) wrote the new SUGARCULT SINGLE...

I was pretty suprised when i read that in the credits of the album

[tiff_taff]

Isnt The Starting Line supposed to be on the Tournado tour with The All-American Rejects?

[sdbrown]

^^Not after November 24th. They're only doing the first part of the tour

[konstantine94]

wow, another reason to be bummed out that this tour is not stopping by portland.
good for them though. really. this is a stellar tour.

im bummed too. but we have so many good shows coming up that i think i will survive.

[Sokina]

while we are on this subject..did anyone know that ex members of the MA based band THE DRIVE (fake id) wrote the new SUGARCULT SINGLE...

I was pretty suprised when i read that in the credits of the album

haha, Sean (former drummer of THE DRIVE) told me about it. He said Sugarcult basically used "everything" ...like how the song is played and ish, whatever ya know? He was kinda shocked actually. And now he is hoping to get a certain GOOD amount of dollars from that single, as well with the other's who wrote that single...

[piaffeprncess98]

Oh man, Spitalfield, Over It, Valencia and BLG? That is going to be one fun show. I will definately be there in Baltimore.

[Codered11]

i was curious to see what gave this post 50+ posts....but now I know

worthless bickering

[smackdown]

I think it's pathetic that these ignorant people are saying things like "i love bands that can't write their own songs". These comments are completely ridiculous. None of these people have been in bands, or recorded in studios, or even have a single clue as to how the music industry works. Everyone from producers to auxillary violin players get due credit on albums. Of course this guy had help writing songs, what bands do you listen too? I'll break your heart and let you know who is writing what. I bet some of your biggest heroes had help writing their hits. For the dudes or dudettes that are making these absurd comments, i challenge you to start a band and get into a studio w/a real producer, go through record contracts, deal w/distribution rights, and then talk to me at the end of the day about who helped who and who relied on who.

What do all of your guys hit singles sound like?

did i claim i had talent?
no.
but i do happen to know a whole hell of a lot about the industry. & auxillary violin players are a bit different than songwriters.
if you can't write your own lyrics, why would you want to sing them? music is about expressing emotion & why would you sing about something you didn't feel?

[MidwestHeart]

I'm missing you like Candy.

yes but also the lead singer isnt always the one who writes the songs in a band, i.e. pete wentz if im not mistaken does most of the lyric writing in fob if not all of it?

[emerson1892]

Its crap that the AAR/MCS/Format tour isnt coming to Portland. But what is even more crap is that Boys Like Girls wont even be playing the Portland date (12/1) of the Punchline/Spitalfield tour.

Whats crap is that people actully like this piece of shit band.

yo sweetheart, i just looked at some of your favorite bands and I hate to break it to ya...but everything you're arguing for exists within your favorite tunes. And being friends w/your local vfw band doesn't really count as knowing the music industry. I feel stupid stooping down to the level of attacking someone on here but honestly, don't argue topics in which you are completely uneducated about.

i have no idea what is even in my profile or when i put them there. i think i edited it once & it probably has a very limited selection of what i actually listen to. & just who on that list are you referring to?
oh & sir, just how are you educated in this area? stop talking to me like i'm some stupid 14 year old with pete wentz plastered all over her room.
i happen to have worked with several bands, venues, booking companies & labels & know what i'm talking about.

[bruisexblackeye]

$$$!

i'm not one to throw the term around a lot, but THAT is selling out.

Milwaukee for the FORMAT!
