Hahahahaha... hardcore fucking sucks period...!!!

nothing like a bunch of sweaty no shirt wearing dudes rubbing up against one another in the stinky white power pit... same goes for the long hair metalhead satan worshipping dildo's... same goes for the exctasy dropping raver heads on the dance floor... honky tonk cowboys and all the underage emo scene kids...

hip hop and soul is where it's at yo'...!!!

Beyonce & Jay Z got everything locked down...!!!

just throw yer' hands in the air and wave em' round like you "JUST DON'T CARE"...!!!

i think you're mistaken

Actually, I stopped going to hardcore shows because I got hired as a break dancer for Egyptian Lover.
Egypt...Egypt...

Hahahaha...!!!

you rock Abe...!!! gimme a windmill then throw it up into a head spin...!!!

calling all freaks to the dance floor...

Right now, there really are not a lot of bands that I'm interested in. Everybody wants to be either Ceremony or MLIW. The only current band that I'm really into is Get Rad. If you're not familiar with them, I suggest you check them out.

i suggest you shove a screwdriver into both your ears real deep. no need to thank me.

No care ever.

Abe, normally I would agree with some of these statements. But the Cro-mags at their height, were unstoppable. AOQ is a flawless album. . Comparing Cali and NYHC is apples and oranges. And as for that SOIA video. It was clearly a joke but at the same time. During that time, that was a reality.



Wasted time and Govt warning definitely want to sound like ceremony.
My advice is that you stop letting the the b9 board tell you what hardcore exists.

My point is that Ceremony and Modern Life Is War are two of the "bigger" bands of the last couple years, and as is usually the case, they have spawned many imitators. While I like both of those bands, I have little to no interest in any of the bands that sound like them. I guess all of the CDs I bought by AN clones 5 years ago that are collecting dust taught me a lesson about that kind of stuff. The only bands that hold my interest that have popped up in the last year or two are Get Rad and Harms Way. There's just not a lot of new stuff that is catching my interest, but I'm willing to check out anybody.

As for the B9 board, I don't look at it and have never posted on it. My girlfriend has for some inexplicable reason.

Dude, do not let any girl you care about post on that board.

Just curious, but I recently unearthed a stack of original master tapes that were given to me of early BYO catalog recordings. These are the original 2" and 1/4" masters from bands like Battalion Of Saints, Aggression, Brigade, I Scream, Wonderwall and the ilk. I'm thinking of parting with them.

Would the sell section of this board be an okay spot to try and sell? I thought this thread sort of eased me into this question before I just posted them there... Or am I completely off my rocker?

youre probably off your rocker... i'm sure there are other more suitable boards where you could get top dollar but i would not know what they were off hand.

No question

That makes two of us and I wouldn't even know (or even care) what top dollar is... better in the hands of a die hard collector than collecting dust in the garage

ill gladly take the agression one off your hands

Ill also be interested in these. send lists! sounds great!

Why not offer them back to the bands? I know Aggression and Battalion of Saints are probably not doing so hot with residuals money. And what about BYO themsleves? The Brigade dudes run that shit still don
t they? They could re release this stuff if it hasn't been rereleased a million times by now. Just a thought.

I dont think the master tapes is whats keeping them from re-releasing any of this stuff but I think thats a good idea as well.

After them though I know more than enough people who will fairly compensate you for these.

seriously. hahaha.

Any one remember THE DWARVES?

Believe me, I warned her in detail about the B9 board, telling her that by no means should she post any personal information. So what's the first thing she does? Makes her avatar a picture of herself from Myspace. Thankfully she only posted there for about a week before she realized how dumb it is.

Anyway, back on topic. I was thinking about how hard it is for me to really choose favorites from old bands in a general sense due to the difference in styles and time periods. I think what this calls for is a top 5 or so by era. For me, 80-85 would be Minor Threat, Void, Jerry's Kids, SSD and Poison Idea. Uniform Choice is on the bubble. 86-90 is Judge, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, Dag Nasty and Slapshot. 90s is Integrity (Humanity is the Devil was the first hardcore CD I bought, so they'll always hold a special place in my heart), Ringworm, Turmoil, Madball and Merauder.

Top 5 albums of all time (at least as of this moment), in no order:
Gorilla Biscuits-Start Today
Integrity-Humanity is the Devil
Jerry's Kids- Is This My World?
Turmoil-The Process Of
Carry On-A Life Less Plagued

I think you're missing the point. None of the tapes that I own is unreleased material. These are all the Master Recording Tapes that have been turned into LP's, Cassettes and finally CD's that are official BYO releases. Once they became digital files, the Sterns had no use for the physical tapes and were throwing them into the trash bins. I asked for them instead and they gave them to me. As far as the financial status of any of the bands is a moot point because the material on these tapes are between the bands and BYO. Neither these tapes, nor I have anything to do with that. Does that make sense? They are of no use to the bands or BYO any longer.

If you're worried about how the bands are doing financially, I suggest buying their records or digital downloads where they would receive royalties. These Masters play no part in it any longer since they are already out there and have been for literally years. Now they are merely a collectible.

Ah yes I do indeed agree, point completely missed! Thanks for dropping the knowledges. I wasnt insinuating you were busting a shifty move or anything.

Abe, the thought never crossed my mind.

Growing Concern is a relatively new band that play Montreal HardCore in the old style. They have nothing to sell and I don't know them personaly so I feel OK the link this :
