Butch Walker (Official Thread)

[summerstars19]

I doubt this will get a lot of posts, which deeply saddens me. However, more people need to love this man. I know I do.

[chokeychicken]

who?

[summerstars19]

I hate you.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Never heard him but I'm checking his MySpace right now.

[CellarGhosts]

Never heard him either, but I'll check out some of his work.

[emerypearl]

hes amazing.
end of story

[Exsanguination]

Good dude, that makes good music.

Cigarette Lighter Love song is my jam.

[summerstars19]

He really is a good dude. He's super talented and really versatile.

[Dirty Ernie]

I love the amount of Mighty Duck avatars dominating this thread right now.

Doesn't Butch write songs for a ton of bands beside himself? I know he was in Marvelous 3 but I believe they were more of a one hit wonder. Enlighten me.

[summerstars19]

Yep, he did Marvelous 3, he obviously also does solo work, sometimes also known as Butch Walker and the Let's-Go-Out-Tonites...he really is a solo artist, but has a band. Actually, one of the guitartist, Michael Guy Chislett is now in The Academy Is...Anyway, he's also produced records for Midtown, Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne, Hot Hot Heat, All American Rejects, and a bunch of other bands.

[abusedcat]

He's an amazing songwriter and producer.

[S9Dallasoz]

The man is God.
& for those of yoyu checkin his myspace/purevolume out.
Dig deeper, his newer stuff doesn't even come close to his best.
See: "Sober", "If (Jeannie's Song)" , "Suburbia", "Mixtape", "Don't Move" for his greatest.
Best Live show I've seen.

He produced the new Academy is... album too.
Along with TONS of other awesome stuff (Quietdrive, SR-71, Pete Yorn) much more...

[Smash Adams]

he worked with Avril right I love her

uCmJ6e0aPvA
it takes balls to cover ryan adams, but he does it well

[S9Dallasoz]

Jason tate reviewed his '04 album "Letters" - 89%

[MIKEY_HORROR]

he is a really good producer..and good songwriter and has an amazing voice....i've been into butch since M3..

its about damn ass time he gets some love on here...

[summerstars19]

I'm glad to see posts on here. I know he's less well known around here, but the man is honestly extremely talented. Even if people don't like his music he should, at the very least, be appreciated for his songwriting and producing talents.

[summerstars19]

I agree. You, of all people, certainly know how I feel about him. ;-)

[and we whisper]

i think butch walker is genius. i love his voice and lyrics...

[JenR]

butch is amazing. everyone should check him out
i just saw him again in concert last week and his live shows just blow me away

[Shatter590]

with every hour
my drink gets so sour

[splat out path]

I'm listening to ReadySexGo now. Probably the worst of his recent albums but still awesome.

[Shatter590]

I'm listening to ReadySexGo now. Probably the worst of his recent albums but still awesome.

i cant say its very recent tho. its ike 5 or 6 years old.

[summerstars19]

The word worst should not be paired with Butch Walker.

[splat out path]

I know, I just tend to separate his early career from the Marvies onward for some reason

[Shatter590]

The word worst should not be paired with Butch Walker.

a bad butch walker album is better than the best pop/rock albums by anyone else.

[summerstars19]

Ok, understandable.

True story.

[splat out path]

heh, that's a good point.

If anyone's interested:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EPHYFSSL

The Floyds - The Floyds

I dunno if this is allowed, but the album's been deleted and is impossible to find, so I doubt anyone's gonna lose money over it. The Floyds featured all 3 members of the Marvies plus Chrystina Llorée, who guests on 'I'm Losing You' and 'Get Down' on subsequent albums, as well as some other bloke.

[JenR]

a bad butch walker album is better than the best pop/rock albums by anyone else.

there is no such thing as a bad butch walker album. some are better than others,but none are bad

[summerstars19]

Very, very true.

[fuhleesha]

i'm seeing him in a couple weeks. i can't wait. i can't imagine him putting on a show that's less than amazing.

[summerstars19]

I'm extremely jealous that you're going to see him.

[splat out path]

He's recording a show in Atlanta for a DVD in the next couple of weeks.

[summerstars19]

Really? He's doing another live DVD? That's fantastic news.

[S84newt2000]

He's recording a show in Atlanta for a DVD in the next couple of weeks.


I'll be there! I didn't know they were going to record it. He has one of the best live shows I've seen. His cover songs rule. The end.

[just.tonight]

I just need to take some time out to really ask myself why I've never been to that forum. Thank you for posting that. I'm never going to leave my house now.

[WaltWizzle]

Butch Walker is flat out amazing. It's a shame not that many people listen to him on this site.

[Genuma]

I love Butch Walker. Letters, to me, is perfect. His other solo albums are also excellent. Marvelous 3, while completely different is just as fun and entertaining. Words can't describe how awesome Letters is.

[AlternateToLife]

Butch Walker? I wasn't expecting him on here. :-) He's incredible.

[Genuma]

I was expecting more from Cover Me Badd, though. The Queen Medley and Live And Let Die covers are really good.

[Chris Fallon]

When you walk into my apartment, this is the first thing you see. In my home, there's only one God you worship and his name is Butch.

[Genuma]

Haha. That's an awesome poster.

[Chris Fallon]

1969's album Maya is finally out now. The band is a side project from Butch, it rocks ... everyone needs to get into and have an eargasm.

[Genuma]

I just heard the single off Maya. up the linx?

Anyway, Butch is supposed to have a new album this year, so let's hype it.

[Chris Fallon]

I hate Butch Walker. What a joke.

[Genuma]

You wants I should rough him up?

[Chris Fallon]

Let's get dat muddafuk'a and beat 'im wit' a pipe!







No, but seriously ... I'd probably blow him if I had the chance.

[Genuma]

Isa hold 'is legs down, youz get 'im real good, ya see?

Haha. I don't know if I would, but I'd at least compliment his genitals.



In real Butch related news: I wonder how the show at the Cubbie Bear is gonna work.

[CellarGhosts]

Let's get dat muddafuk'a and beat 'im wit' a pipe!







No, but seriously ... I'd probably blow him if I had the chance.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING ABOUT BEING ON STAFF, WHAT THE HOLY HELL!?!?!?







also, Letters is a really good album. finally downloaded/listened to it.

[ShaantzCutie]

GO BUTCH!!! lmao THE ACADEMY IS... IS THE SHIZZ!!!

[AlternateToLife]

Let's get dat muddafuk'a and beat 'im wit' a pipe!

Since when have you been on staff man?

It's about time. Definitely an amazing album.

I get so pissed at joke users.

At least ShaantzCutie is a really cool username.

Doot she made a Metro Station thread. Hopefully it will become another epic chat thread.

Best reaction yet hahahaha

Yeah, let me know what you think of everything. I'll hook you up with his live album later on down the road - both discs are huge files and take forever to upload haha

GO BUTCH!!! lmao THE ACADEMY IS... IS THE SHIZZ!!!
Ban plz? Oh ... wait a tick...

Since when have you been on staff man?




It's about time. Definitely an amazing album.
Since yesterday. Don't worry ... I'm still a good guy!

Best Thing You Never Had is great.
You know what his best song (in my opinion) is? "Stateline," the hidden song on the last track. And the live version of "Best Thing" is spectacular ... God, he is awesome live.

[CellarGhosts]

I'm so glad I got into this, Left Of Self-Centered is a great album. "Suburbia" has been stuck in my head all day haha.

For some reason, that song reminds me alot of another favorite song of mine, "Rockin' the Suburbs" by Ben Folds. I mean, they both are about the same thing (virtually), but they also have a similar feel, plus the guitar parts are kind of similar.

Pretty neat, haha.

who's looking forward to Sycamore Meadows?

i believe that sums him up

July/August

check some of the demos on his Myspace.

[CellarGhosts]

July/August

check some of the demos on his Myspace.
ok, cool.

I'll listen to em.

[Genuma]

Are the demos even for the new album? They've been around for a while.

Also, 1969 on vinyl.

[Chris Fallon]

I wanna buy Butch on vinyl. Fuck, if they made M3 on vinyl, I would cum.

Those demos have been out forever. I don't know what he's doing for Sycamore Meadows, but he has enough material to make a double-album (which he should do).

I want to set an interview up with him around the time the album comes out. I would probably be gushing the entire time and if it were face-to-face, I would simply hug him for 45 minutes.

[Genuma]

I've always thought Butch seemed like a record nerd, I guess not.

Damn, I hope you can get that interview. When you do the thread asking for questios just take all of mine. Haha.

[Chris Fallon]

You, me and anamericangod will all take up the questions hahaha

[Genuma]

Haha. It would be the first AP interview I've ever read. ;-)

nice, that would definitely be my favorite interview of all time.

[Genuma]

I've been listening to a fuck load of live Butch lately. Sounds like so much fun. I might catch him at the Cubbie Bear if he reschedules that one.

[Chris Fallon]

I wish he hadn't cancelled the July 7th show. Bums me out so much. It was the one thing I was looking forward to for the summer (besides The Dark Knight).

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

I've never actually listened to Butch Walker.

[Chris Fallon]

Dooooooooooooooooooooooo it!

[Genuma]

If he reschedules that one I'm there.

[suchaparadox]

anyone ever heard of "1969"?
It's Butch Walker and Michael Guy Chislett.

[AlternateToLife]

That's an odd combination.

[suchaparadox]

though now that i see it,
i didn't end up reading all of the posts
so i don't know if someone already posted something about them?

[suchaparadox]

haha i know.
but they're actually pretty good.

[.invisible ink.]

Butch Walker is God.


That is all I have to add to this conversation at the moment.

Album review for this coming soon....

[narcoleptic953]

this guy is my favorite musical artist of all time
seriously i think all of his solo albums are pure 5 star songs for me
Letters is probably the only album that i can still listen to every day and never get tired of, though the rise and fall comes close
sycamore meadows is my most anticipated album of the year. that shit is gonna be epic.
i know at least one of the myspace demos (ships in a bottle) is making the album, but i wouldnt be surprised to see all the others on there. especially since hes played most of them live.

[S9Dallasoz]

Hey Chris. That 1969 you gave me had the song you said was the best on it corrupt. Haha. Any chance on getting that?

[Chris Fallon]

Hey Chris. That 1969 you gave me had the song you said was the best on it corrupt. Haha. Any chance on getting that?
Srsly? Wtf...

Yeah give me a few, I'll get something for ya.

[Genuma]

Cool. I just remembered it was "Wreck Me".

[Chris Fallon]

Just that one song? I can up that song for ya

[Genuma]

Yeah. Cool, thanks.

[swt_catastrophe]

so i just started really getting into him (sad, i know)
any recs for what albums i should be listening to?

[Genuma]

Solo wise? Letters is more like slower stuff and Left of Self-Centered is more pop-rockier. Then I never liked Rise and Fall much.

[kitti_katt420]

Start with Letters. In my opinion, it's his best, although I love the other 2 albums and the Marvelous 3 stuff as well.

[Genuma]

Letters is my favorite Butch. I don't know about with M3 though.

[kitti_katt420]

Letters is my favorite Butch. I don't know about with M3 though.

I wasn't a big fan of Math and Other Problems but I like the 2 albums alot. I think he is better solo though.

[Genuma]

Same here. I need new Butch already.

[kitti_katt420]

Me too. Ive listening to Left of Self Centered and I'm getting anxious. I've heard a few of the demos and I'm loving what I've heard so far.

[kitti_katt420]

I just downloaded the 1969 album Maya. I really really like this album.

[HelpMeSleep]

so i just started really getting into him (sad, i know)
any recs for what albums i should be listening to?
better late than never! :-) I just did last fall/winter anyway.
definitely start with Letters. that's what I started with!

[WaltWizzle]

I don't think I can wait much longer for the new album.

[chipdip18]

Bump.

[anamericangod]

New songs are soooo good. This album is going to be an instant classic, trust me.

[Chris Fallon]

I'm going to do the best I can with trying to score some exclusives for this album. I want to promote the shit outta this one - making no promises, but I want to see what I can do for all my fellow loyalists.

[Here It Goes]

A few weeks ago, I heard so many people shouting Butch Walker's praises that I had to check him out. I downloaded a bunch of his tunes, even a few from the Marvelous 3, I watched a live performance of "Cigarette Lighter Love Song", and I was officially on the bandwagon!

Now, a few weeks removed, I have to say, Butch Walker is only slightly above average. I hear that he's great live, and he does have a couple of very nice songs, but upon closer listens, I find his lyrics to be fairly weak, and while his voice is nice, its really not all that fantastic.

I know my opinion won't count for much, being under 100 posts and all, but I understood the hype for like a week, and now I just don't get what the big deal is. Butch Walker seems a little too run-of-the-mill for me. Maybe his new stuff will blow me away though.

Lol "hype" for somebody who has been making music for over 20 years.

And with each and every post you continue to make, the more I believe you to be one of the most ignorant music fans I have ever come across. I don't think you "get" pop music - yet you obviously like Jimmy Eat World, so at least you're on the right track.

I'm telling you, hooking me up with an interview would pretty much fulfill me on a spiritual level.
Pfft, same here dude. If you plan on seeing him live again, setting something up is your job - it's simply trying to contact management and land something. That's why I can't make promises, but I know that I want to get in touch with his people and get something going on here on the site.

[anamericangod]

The new album, Sycamore Meadows, has been confirmed for a release date of 11/11.

[HelpMeSleep]

yessss. I can't wait.

I just want a tour announcement now.

[HelpMeSleep]

12. ATL

[Kid B]

ALL TIME LOW! Yes!

[Genuma]

Sweeeet. I hope A Song for the Metalheads isn't a complete joke song, I want 12 tracks of Butch.

[Chris Fallon]

I can't wait to hear the final versions of those demos he's had posted for quite awhile now

[HelpMeSleep]

I'm so excited for this. :-)

[Kid B]

It won't be as good as letters.

[anamericangod]

It won't be as good as letters.

Not sure about that. It's pretty close already just hearing the songs live and in demo form.

[Chris Fallon]

I will eat crow later if I have to, but I think this will surpass Letters.

Although, to be fair, I have always been more of a LoSC fan because I love Butch's "rawk" side a tad more.

[Here It Goes]

And with each and every post you continue to make, the more I believe you to be one of the most ignorant music fans I have ever come across. I don't think you "get" pop music - yet you obviously like Jimmy Eat World, so at least you're on the right track.


Um...alright. Jimmy Eat World...check. Anything else I can do to make my musical tastes more identical to yours?

What's to "get" about pop music? Or Butch Walker? I'm not hating on him, he's a decent musican, singer, writer, yada yada... just not as blown away by him as everyone else in this thread.

I'll say this...his music, to me, sounds heartfelt. Which is code for "He sounds like he's trying way too hard far too often."

[Broden Terry]

So I picked up Letters after hearing his new song Ships In a Bottle.
I am yet to hear a weak Butch Walker song. That album is amazing and I'll be looking at buying some of his older material as well as Sycamore Meadows.

[Chris Fallon]

Thoughts on the new album before class. I have high expectations but that's how I was with Letters too.

[HelpMeSleep]

definitely do :]

[HelpMeSleep]

I don't see how those two things are related.

[Chris Fallon]

I've listened to the new album, and upon first listen, it's very quiet, very intimate. The lyrics are obviously full of personal moments and still contain plenty of his signature wit, but it's evident his personal tragedies have been monumentally important in creating this album.

I'd say this album puts him as Atlanta's own Bruce Springsteen. Reminds me a lot of the Boss - and if anyone is a fan of him and Butch, I'm sure you'll see what I mean once you hear the record.

[HelpMeSleep]

I wish he was coming to california but he's not.

[anamericangod]

October 21st... why does that have to be an important day not to miss class and a Butch concert? Fuck my ass.

[anamericangod]

Lol the Atlanta pre sale sold out within the hour, fuck me for not getting tickets.

fuuuuck. I just saw in his blog that he's gonna be here on the 20th and I already have tickets to see Bayside, Valencia and The Matches.

[HelpMeSleep]

Bayside and Valencia are playing here the night before too, but I was gonna go to a different show that night. but I guess I'll go to that one instead and then go to Butch the next night.

I don't know what to do with my ticket for the other show though since they don't actually send you a ticket, you just show ID to get in =/

[HelpMeSleep]

oh okay. just kidding. according to the site where you buy the tickets, you have to be 21 and I'll only be 19. X-)

[Chris Fallon]

21+ Butch show??? I am so in!

[WaltWizzle]

I've listened to the new album, and upon first listen, it's very quiet, very intimate. The lyrics are obviously full of personal moments and still contain plenty of his signature wit, but it's evident his personal tragedies have been monumentally important in creating this album.

I'd say this album puts him as Atlanta's own Bruce Springsteen. Reminds me a lot of the Boss - and if anyone is a fan of him and Butch, I'm sure you'll see what I mean once you hear the record.
You've already listened to the new album? I'm extremely jealous right now haha. Anyways, I found an article that says that Pink sings on here comes the heartache.

If you had to choose, which song would you pick to be your favorite off the new record?

[carcrashofahart]

can it please be november already! ARGH

[Chris Fallon]

If you had to choose, which song would you pick to be your favorite off the new record?
I'd say "ATL" - no question. One of his best songs - I wrote a summary in my blog, if you're interested. It's a stripped down, back-to-basics kind of record -- very personal. I can't say Butch diehards won't love it, because they will understand it more than a mainstream audience. It started connecting with me after two listens, and I feel a personal tug every time I hear a song from it.

You will like it, I promise!

[carcrashofahart]

butch posted a song here (http://maybeitsjustme.biz/)

[splat out path]

There's a new song here (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/feature.php?id=5441) entitled 'Here Comes The...' featuring Pink. I submitted it through the news dealie on Sunday but they never posted it to the front page.

[WaltWizzle]

I love seeing Butch on the front page.

[HelpMeSleep]

me too. it makes me happy. I preordered my album even though I'm broke. I'm so excited.

and I'll definitely check out that song.

[AlternateToLife]

DAMN! I have plans for the 14th.

Oh well. This album is mine.

my preorder hasn't come yet. I want it really bad.

[timbedinosaur]

He makes me proud to be a Georgian

[HelpMeSleep]

haha. he makes me actually want to go to Georgia. I hope he comes out west.

[timbedinosaur]

I think he is in California a bunch actually

[HelpMeSleep]

he just announced dates and it's all east coast. he's had two norcal dates in the last year. one was canceled, the other was 21+.

[hockeyguitar99]

I love all of his stuff, but for some reason, haven't listened in a while.

Hey for any fans that could help me out;

Apparently Sunny Day Real Estate (the opening track on Letters) is a portion of a different Butch song entitled Sunny Day - which is a full track. I found this by stumbling upon these lyrics:

http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/b/butchwalker18100/sunnyday501432.html

It is also on various other lyrics sites...

Does anyone know where I'd be able to get ahold of this "Sunny Day" song?

The preorder for I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart (http://gomerch.com/butchwalker/preorder/) is up. I now want $25,000.

[BensonHedges]

Bumping this thread because I can't get enough of this dude after seeing him live last night.

Just downloaded his Cover Me Badd EP and rocking out to the Queen medley as we speak. I have a feeling the few holes still left in my Butch collection are going to be filled by the end of this weekend.

Saw him twice last weekend. No one puts on a show quite like him.

I have everything you could ever want, and things you've never seen, haha. I've got so much Butch I don't even listen to it all.

Haha well honestly I'm not too interested in live material other than audio from dvd's, but would you mind throwing b-sides and EP's my way? All I have are the 3 M3 cd's and his 5 solo releases.

[ugman_2000]

Been spining loads of Butch's stuff the last week or so after reading his book. Such a great artist with such a solid discography.

If you haven't read his book yet I really suggest checking it out, it's so interesting to read about how he came up through the music industry over the years.
