New Found Glory

[Tw33k3dj0k3r]

i just figured we got simple plan and good charlotte why not just add another shitty band such as nfg.. they draw the same crowd as simple plan and goodcharlotte little teenage girls who obviously dont understand good music

[on.my.own.]

Lky wer da fuck dija cum frum? Dez guyz r d shit.

[Milonater]

The difference between NFG and those bands:
NFg has been around for much, much longer before when their style got big.

[worldstheory]

NFG oozes with scene credibility. GC and SP do not.


I love NFG.

[em0]

as much as i love blink-182 you left them out of your list that attracts little girls. :D

I love NFG. My first pop-punk band from the 'scene' was NFG. Blink I had found out about through radio, MuchMusic, etc. Although NFG is getting popular, I still love em. Great pop-punk band.

[em0]

Although NFG is getting popular

i don't know if you saw mtv back when their newest cd came out but they are as big as blink. they aren't "getting popular" they are extremely popular. ticket prices = 30+ dollars for anfg these days.

[Touched]

I like them.

[punkpixie]

I like NFG, the first concert I went to was a small NFG show because they arent that big over here. They are amazing live,lots of energy.

There not as big as Blink ... they are extremely popular, as you said, but not as much as Travis, Mark, and Tom. What were they in America for their new cd on the charts? 2nd, 3rd? In Canada? First.

NFG will never put an album out that comes relatively close to those statistics.

[pnk_jen_182]

The differnce between nfg and sp and gc is that the latter two have sold out. Dont get me wrong I like GC and SP, but they have sold out alittle. I think NFG plays more for the growd and because that is what they love to do. They cant exactly pick the growd of people they want to show up to there shows. NO one can and yes it does suck that when you go to a concert and you have to get through all the teenage popster girls..

[pUnkKid174]

they sux. the vocals are annoying and i tried to listen to em one time and i couldnt for many reasons, but mainly cuz the vocals are so high and sound like he's singing through his nose...arent a hard enough band for me

and they are a shitty band just like good charlotte and simple plan, just like Tw33k3dj0k3r said eh

...heh...

[piebaldkid42]

one of my first punky bands i got into, they opened me up to a whole new world. theyve been around for a while and earned theyre way up the ranks, im not as into them as i was but i still respect their music and im interested in what they do with theyre new cd

i have to disagree slightly...yeah, when their last cd came out, it got a lot of attention..but where have they been since? GC and SP are still around on MTV and such, but NFG isnt. They took themselves off of MTV. And there are tons of bands that concerts cost 30+ that arent 'huge'. they are popular, yes, no where near as popular as Blink. Plus, NFG/Blink have a lot of fans from back in the day, like myself. GC and SP just have the teenys

NFG wasn't on MTV or Much Music or the radio too terribly much in the first place anyways, and I see them like never anymore. Once in a while I see them in Much News or 'My Friends Over You' on a long edition of Video Flow, nothing more. Everybody around here knows Blink 182, only a select group (me, my friends which I have told them about NFG) know about the great pop-punk that they create. The moral of the story? Can't wait for the new cd, I know it's gonna make an impression.

[shut.the.door]

I found NGCS in my room today. I put it in my cd player and it made me so damn happy. I haven't listened to that album in at least 3 years. NFG was the first show I ever went to. I'm looking forward to their new album.

[staygold]

NFG are amazing, i dont care what anyone says. Theyve been around since 97 and they are an incredibly hard working band, and there music is awsome

[sweetsugar]

What shitty way to start your first post. I'm in a really bad mood today so I'm gonna be mean. Your a fucking dumbass and you must be like 12 years old, cause new found glory has nothing in common with good charlotte or simple plan. They don't try to incorporate hip hop into their music, they don't wine about their parents. They don't look incredibly stupid. They are a hard rocking band that kicks ass and puts on an amazing live show. I can listen to every new found glory cd all the way through and be happy, I own all of their cd's, and that trend will continue until they break up. My god I can't believe someone was ignorant enough to compare those bands. NFG have been around for quite awhile now. Beeing from Florida you should know that.

[Alex Djaferis]

NFG are good...but they never really made it THAT big. compared too other cookie cut poppunk :P

theyre awesome live.

[!!*Debs*!!]

i think NFG are pretty damn good and i dont see how you can compare them to SP or GC :rolleyes:

[Dan_brown]

NFG is still good....what I think seperates them from SP and GC is that New Found Glory came out with the video for "My Friends Over You" in summer '02 and they came out with their next video like 9 months later. Now Simple Plan and Good Charlotte come out with new videos like every month...it's like they actually watch MTV to make sure they're on TRL.

[pUnkKid174]

once again....simple plan and good charlotte sux...i'll never be able to listen to em again although i did listen to em once for like a month and then hated em...

god they blow

[xStareAtThesunx]

what ever happened to liking a band for their music? Dude it seems people take a band and tally how many times their video is played on mtv or the radio and that decides whether they are """COOL""" to like.....turn off your tv and listen to the music i mean nfg rocks and live they are amazing

I agree, they are ok, but they don't compre to SP or GC because they are original and not copying other pop-punk bands.

[FalloutGuy]

I mean come the fuck on! NFG worked their asses off to get where they are. It isn't like they just appeared out of nowhere and blew up.

[pUnkKid174]

Do me a favor? Don't ever use "sux" again.
sure

[worldstheory]

thank you

[pUnkKid174]

worldstheory...do you think the way i talk is strange...

[notstandingup]

well i don't like NFg, Gc, Blink, or Sp they all know who they listen to and they are keeping that way they all go on MTV and you know who watches that. They try to appeal to teenage girls mostly, they have all sold out.

[ChiefSaveTheKid]

Im not going to comment about NFG being a sell out, or not a sell out, half because im not that stupid, and half because i just dont fucking care. Im from Florida and caught a few super early NFG shows at this shitty club down in Davie. I really enjoyed their music, and admired their staying true to their desired music, instead of shifting gears and becoming like EVERY other band in Miami/Ft Lauderdale at the time (nu-metal). Everyone knows how kick ass they were back when they were playing clubs, and i used to bump into a few of them at the mall all the time.
I caught their show down here a few months ago with GC, MxPx, and Hot Rod Circuit. Before that show i had seen NFG at least 11 or 12 times, and only once since 2000 (Warped 02') To be quite frank the crowd disgusted me beyond belief, and i was totally let down by MxPx and NFG, my boyhood heros. I dont care if they sold out or not, or if they sell 10,000 records or go triple platinum. At the time when they were still living here, NFG had an amazing impact on everyone around. And that impact is still being felt if you talk to the right people. Isnt that what music is all about anyway?

[MaybeOneDay]

To the guy who started this thread:

Who are you to decide what good music is for other people ? Maybe other people find NFG to be good music ? I for one, am one of those people. NFG > You.

You fucking idiot. Shut the fuck up about "selling out". Nobody cares..the term "sellout" is a load of bullshit if you ask me. Every one of those bands, right from day one wanted to get to where they are now. It's not like way back in the day they were these big hardcore punkers saying they were going to stay as a small band and shit. They wanted to blow up. They wanted to sell millions of records. And its fucking morons like you who don't understand that. All of those bands, in some way or another, have worked their asses off to become what they are. If you don't like them, fine...but don't sit on your worthless ass and call them sellouts.

Well you are right there about Nfg and mark and tom from blink, but as you know travis barker was not the orginal drummer scott was and he was kicked out of the band for drinking problems and not wanting them to be huge. Now gc goes on tv dressed up in masacara and crap to have a punk image, sp came out of canada with one album and i dont think thats exactly working hard. A band that really worked harf to get big was Sublime. They played for fours years before they put out an album. 4 fucking years all those bands put out one then there next went huge. sublime was Brad Nowell's band. He had more talent then anyone in those bands. He created his own style and no one has sounded like them since. He wanted to get his band big but make a great music career before not just put out one album and then go huge like those bands. Also he had a really heavy addiction to herion, which affected others while they were recording and nearly died from it many times before he did. He had to have to be on herion to be happy, he couldn't live without it. No one in those bands have ever had that problem. Yet he still wrote 20 or more songs for all of his albums. The band would make up alot of the chords and rythms right there when they were recording. Its sad to see how hard he worked to make his band better make everyone he knew happy to OD on herion because he couldn't live without the drug. Now that is a person that worked hard.

I'm trying---no, struggling---to figure out what this has ANYTHING to do with the subject, and the only thing I can conclude is that you're saying that NFG are sellouts because they're not addicted to heroin.

Cause, you know, it's nothing to accomplish what NFG has if you're not addicted to heroin.

Excellent point, jackass, I would've never thought of that.

Yeah, really...what did that have to do with anything ? I know Sublime worked hard. Extremely hard actually. A girl I know from school's uncle was Brad Nowell. I know all about them and the death etc.

But really, that had NOTHING to do with the subject at hand. Ok, so you think Simple Plan made one album and then got huge ? Well, you're partly right. But you can't just assume that was the only thing they've ever released. I have about 5 different demo cd's of SP lying around my house where they sounded terrible, struggling to write something catchy enough to reach their goal and become mainstream. And, even before that, a couple of the members of SP were in a band called "Reset". I suggest you listen to some of their stuff, it's actually quite good. So, you really can't say they didn't work hard to get where they are ? Of course they did...in some way or another. Just like every band does. Maybe not as hard as somebody like Blink or Sublime, but they still did their fair share of work.

As for Good Charlotte, well..they too have put work into getting where they are today. Sure, their first album was extremely popular as well...but i'm willing to bet all you've heard from Good Charlotte are their two albums and the songs you hear on TV and Radio. But, does that mean they haven't released anything else ? Hell no. I'm willing to bet on my life, that they had demo's, EP's and a bunch of other shit before they recorded their first record. No band just records an album right away, as the first thing in their careers, and then makes it huge. That just DOES NOT happen. I hope you see where i'm trying to go with this.

And finally, Blink 182. Yeah, I know ALL about the whole Scott story, and i'm well aware Travis was not the original drummer. But, about why Scott left the band..you're half right, and half wrong. Scott really never left the band at all. Kicked out, is a better name for it. Way back in the day, Blink was touring with Travis's old band, The Aquabats. Well, this was after Blink had already been around for a few years. Before this, Scott was right into the band..and his life practically revolved around it. But after a few years, he grew out of it. It began to interest him less, and less. So when it came time for this tour, is when it all happened. The first few shows of the tour with the Aquabats went well. And then, Scott decided to leave the tour to go home for a while. Without telling the guys about it or giving Mark and Tom a real reason why. They still had shows to play, and no drummer. So, who else to turn to, but to Travis. He learned to play all of the Blink songs in less than an hour (thats how incredible he is), and they were extremely lucky that he offered to fill in during Scotts abscense. After just one show with Travis on drums, Mark and Tom knew this was their drummer. They asked him if he would like to join the band and become Blinks permanent drummer, and he agreed. He left the Aquabats, with no hard feelings, and moved on to better things with Blink. As for Scott, he still had his major drinking problem (which was another factor for them asking Travis to join so quickly) at the time, and they didn't hear much from him after that. He didn't really leave at all...he left the tour, yes, but he still very much thought he was going to be a part of the band after it was all over.

Well, yeah...that was long. And all of that info is correct. Guaranteed. I hope that clears shit up.

[Mest_182]

NFG is a really good band way better than GC & Simple Plan (even though i like Simple Plan-dont start to tell me shit please) and they have been around longer than those two bands.

[Mest_182]

I agree with MaybeOneDay all those bands have fucken worked there asses off just like any other band they all had to travel in a shitty van to get to their shows they might not have done it as long as all the other bands but they still did it.

You got fucking owned by Brandon and Brenton. My subtle advice: shut the fuck up.

[CornerKid5]

undefined I remember the first time I heard Hit or Miss on Much Music back in the days when we still had Much Music in the states. It was the same feeling I got when I first heard Dammit and When I Come Around. In my opinion, NFG is right up there with Blink and Green Day when it comes to being able to define "pop" punk rock. Sure, lots of people have to have a problem with pop and punk being associated, but nothing can last forever.

[Alex Djaferis]

go brandon, go brandon, go go go brandon

[MaybeOneDay]

haha, woo!

[zen]

i think there good i dont care what crowd they bring, but it dose suck that there all popular now. but that wont stop me from liking them.

[Lueda Alia]

god... I hate the whole sell out crap.

but anyway, I absolutely love NFG, and I have for about 3 years now, since my friend from CA told me about them around the end of '00.

Umm....I'm still not understanding what everyone see's in sublime, sure they put out a few good singles, but they didn't have a whole lot of great B-Sides, all the NFG B-sides are totally badass.........Never compare the 2 bands again. The fact that Bradley was addicted to heroin. Nobody stuck a damn needle in his arm and made him get addicted, he did it to himself. Heroin isn't a cheap habit either.

...NFG got me in the scene and i cant wait for their next cd...

[mwhpunk]

wow i pretty much agree w/ ya there. i can't exactly say they were the only band that got me onto the scene but they were one of the front runners. GO NFG!

[mps]

nfg are an awesome band... one of my first bands too.....new cd is gonna be sooo good!

[FalloutGuy]

I can say NFG pretty got me into the scene. I was listening to other bands but I wasn't through the door until NFG. I still love them today and will always.

[mitch704]

dude there's no such thing as a "great pop-punk band" they all suck.

[worldstheory]

New Found Glory was officially the ONE band that got me into the scene.

Well aren't you just a sweet little hardcore patootie.

[OneThousandTear]

dude there's no such thing as a "great pop-punk band" they all suck. i wouldnt go as far as saying that but its hard to find some with any originality. i do have the old new found glory shit and its not horrible but i think they are over rated. thats just my opinion-im probably gunna get shit for saying it though. oh well.

[basedonimpulse]

while i had heard blink 182 on the radio before i ever got into nfg, blink wasn't the one that got me into the pop-punk, punk, emo scene or whatever you want to call it. i heard nfg's first ep at one point and feel in love. i have listened to them regardless of what happens. i still think they are good and i will continue to listen to their music. their credibility goes way beyond said bands as gc and sp. since then my musical horizons have greatly broadened but i am greatful that nfg gave me punk.

I've heard. Damn, I want to see them live so bad.

yeah i heard too. haven't got the chance to see them live yet

[falling_star]

i don't really understand how a couple ppl posting here have been saying "it sucks that they got so popular" or anything to that effect.. them getting popular does not mean they make bad music. or am i misunderstanding you guys? i like NFG. im not crazy about them, but i enjoy listening to them and i will probably check out their new album, whenever it comes out. oh, and sonny is a great song. i like it a lot.
