Thesemptysockets: we can do it after
Thesemptysockets: if there is an after
lockedinarms: what do you mean?
Thesemptysockets: depending on how long the convo carries
lockedinarms: i rather not have this get in the way of
pratice
Thesemptysockets: well
Thesemptysockets: if its inportant
Thesemptysockets: then we might as well
lockedinarms: its just this ian...i'm fed up with everything
lockedinarms: to put it in one sentance...thats how i feel.
Thesemptysockets: this shouldnt be that dramtic
Thesemptysockets: im begining to think we just throw it in for
shits and giggles
lockedinarms: ian....you aren't taking me seriously...are
you?
Thesemptysockets: no i hear you
lockedinarms: you know what, forget it
lockedinarms: im not going to waste my time explaining
things that are 'shits and giggles'
Thesemptysockets: alright then
Thesemptysockets: you really dont have to, you told me last
night
lockedinarms: i don't understand where this attitude is
coming from ian
Thesemptysockets: its not an attitude
Thesemptysockets: im not even thoughing a twist
Thesemptysockets: *thowing in
Thesemptysockets: i was actually saying it half laughing
lockedinarms: thats the thing ian, its a serious matter...
Thesemptysockets: alright so you are fed up with
Thesemptysockets: as it stood last night
Thesemptysockets: kyle and his drums and stubborness
Thesemptysockets: correct me where nessary
Thesemptysockets: my outlook on show playing
lockedinarms: this is the thing ian....you and kyle have
been having this "I don't really care" attitude about the
band lately, espically with shows
Auto response from Thesemptysockets: out
work 12 - 4
Thesemptysockets: ive had the same veiw on shows
Thesemptysockets: since the first one we played
Thesemptysockets: you and i andrew
Thesemptysockets: focus on two very diffrent levels
Thesemptysockets: you, the image
Thesemptysockets: the show going
Thesemptysockets: the getting the name out there
Thesemptysockets: i, the back bone
Thesemptysockets: the music
Thesemptysockets: are we even decent
lockedinarms: so ian, i dont do anything for the music?
Thesemptysockets: no
Thesemptysockets: i said focus
Thesemptysockets: why are you so quick to jump down throats
lockedinarms: because ian, read this
lockedinarms: and basically ian, you/kyle/eric do
nothing for this band really, other than write and
play...you aren't involved with anything else beyond that.
You guys don't even attempt to look for shows or
attempt to find someone to master our cd. Is there a
reason it should all be left up to me to get done? What if
I don't feel like calling another 3 people to get prices?
lockedinarms: im sick of watching you guys sit there
and just write, do nothing else at all, not even attempt to
get a show or call someone...
Thesemptysockets: thats fair i supose
lockedinarms: and im not "so quick to jump down
throats" i'm fed up with doing everything
Thesemptysockets: besides the fact you completely belittling my
entire pride at what i do
Thesemptysockets: i probably spend
Thesemptysockets: just about the same amount of time
Thesemptysockets: writing matrial
lockedinarms: i've sat back and said nothing for months
and months, and then i blew up and matt stepped
forward a little and you eric and kyle did nothing
Thesemptysockets: getting ideas
lockedinarms: ian, i spend a lot of time writing lyrics,
rewriting lyrics and coming up with ideas as well
lockedinarms: im not putting down what you do...
Thesemptysockets: alright so basically
Thesemptysockets: i do nothing
Thesemptysockets: because i dont book shows
lockedinarms: ian, your putting words in my mouth
lockedinarms: i never said you did nothing, i said you
write...thats all you do
Thesemptysockets: and
Thesemptysockets: just write
Thesemptysockets: just write
lockedinarms: it couldn't hurt to message someone
about a show..
lockedinarms: its not like i don't go to pratice and spend
hours online adding people or getting us shows, im also
very involved in the band...
lockedinarms: its a helpless cause ian, you probably feel
the same way about me now that you did about matt a
week or two ago...
Thesemptysockets: i like how i went from doing to much
Thesemptysockets: to absolutly nothing
lockedinarms: ian...you aren't even listening
lockedinarms: this isnt about the writing process of the
band
Thesemptysockets: but thats the point
lockedinarms: the writing that you do is perfect, im
talking about a whole other part of the band
Thesemptysockets: the writing process is the first step
Thesemptysockets: its the base
lockedinarms: so basically, we just dont play
shows...we just write?
Thesemptysockets: no
Thesemptysockets: basically, we havent writting a new song in
3 months
Thesemptysockets: or played a show
lockedinarms: well gregg/ryan and steven from IIHE
came up to matt and i tonight and where like....What is
wrong with your band, seriously....why dont you guys
play shows...
Thesemptysockets: you know why im hessitant to play show
andrew
lockedinarms: why?
Thesemptysockets: because we are horrible
lockedinarms: ian, that makes me want to quit right now
lockedinarms: my own friend telling me that we are
horrible
Thesemptysockets: it makes me want to write
lockedinarms: so, we take another 6 months off and
write all new songs, we cant just not play shows...
Thesemptysockets: no
Thesemptysockets: we get tighter
Thesemptysockets: thats what i ment by horrible
lockedinarms: its hard ian to just sit here and not play
shows, not get our name out somehow
Thesemptysockets: ive never said dont play shoes
Thesemptysockets: hessitant
Thesemptysockets: was the term
lockedinarms: i know, but ian that hessitant feeling that
you have shines through when i ask if you want to play a
show and you say no...or dont really want to but say yes
anyway
Auto response from Thesemptysockets: out
work 12 - 4
lockedinarms: i have a show for us on september 30th
but im going to tell the guy nevermind because i know
you and kyle dont want to
Thesemptysockets: just tell him yes
lockedinarms: and to be completely honest, someone
needs to step up with the mastering thing if they want this
cd done...because im done with it.
Thesemptysockets: i looked online today
lockedinarms: no, because if i tell him yes and put it on
the myspace, i'll get an attitude from someone
Thesemptysockets: just ay his name
lockedinarms: you/matt/kyle/eric need to keep looking
Thesemptysockets: matt said he found a place
Thesemptysockets: in PA
Thesemptysockets: but he didnt say anything else
lockedinarms: matt approached me about that...
lockedinarms: im sure your gonna be mad at me for
questing your position in this band, just like you were
with matt and if you feel that way, im sorry but it gets to a
point where i do so much for this band, outside of the
music, that it starts to bother me.
Thesemptysockets: its cool
lockedinarms: its like you complaining about eric not
writing...
Thesemptysockets: i just think everone is so caught up
lockedinarms: look at it that way...
Thesemptysockets: they forget why we are in this boat
Thesemptysockets: true
Thesemptysockets: you know
lockedinarms: you are in the same position as me
Thesemptysockets: he still hasnt given anything
lockedinarms: if i could play guitar, i would have been
helping you months ago...
Thesemptysockets: lol thanks
lockedinarms: but thats something i can't do...
Thesemptysockets: i need to get up in 6 hours
Thesemptysockets: to go to work
Thesemptysockets: i kinda wanted to go to bed an hour ago
Thesemptysockets: but
lockedinarms: ian, i dont mean to belittle you or
anything...im just frustrated...
Thesemptysockets: i understand
lockedinarms: with everyone....
lockedinarms: not just you or just kyle or just eric...
lockedinarms: i mean, eric has attempted to book one
shows and made one or two banners but thats nothing...
lockedinarms: you do a lot for the musicial aspect of
this band, i just want/need help
Thesemptysockets: well i thought i was holding my own
Thesemptysockets: but i ll try for you
Thesemptysockets: im not a people person
Thesemptysockets: im not a sauve as you mr cilley
lockedinarms: even if you just find shows, send me a
link and i'll do the talking...thats one less show i had to go
look for.
Thesemptysockets: alrighty
Thesemptysockets: i should really hit the hay though
Thesemptysockets: later pal
lockedinarms: alright man, im sorry.
Thesemptysockets: dont worry about it
lockedinarms: i dont want you to hate me or anything, i
just wanted to get my point across.
Auto response from Thesemptysockets: sleep
Thesemptysockets: i dont
Thesemptysockets: at least your aurgument was fair
lockedinarms: yeah, thats what i wanted you to see
lockedinarms: so it didnt turn into an ian vs matt again, i
wanted my point to be clear
Thesemptysockets: but hey im an overbearing control freak
andrew
Thesemptysockets: so
lockedinarms: this is our "baby"
lockedinarms: and we all think its only ours...we all
think we have 100% control of the band
Thesemptysockets: its more like a monster
Thesemptysockets: of br00talness
lockedinarms: haha, exactly
lockedinarms: im sorry for keeping you up
Thesemptysockets: im half awake
Thesemptysockets: peace
