Message Board > Music Chitchat - Heavy > Armchair Cynics signed? |
Music User Info... | I hear the Armchair Cynics signed with 604 records. Anyone know anything about it. If it's true it is definately well deserved. I knew it the first time I saw them. - Sun, 28 Sep 2003 8:54pm | ||
_Griphin_ User Info... | Good deal! Now lets hope they don't sound like Nickleback in a few month's :) - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 6:50am | ||
Metal Manic User Info... | Hmm... well if it's true then right on first Kickback gets a big deal now the Cynics. Things are sure picking up for the local bands. - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 3:58pm | ||
_Griphin_ User Info... | Yeah, they just have to do the road work, and get the info out there. I've been saying that a lot of local bands are talented enough to make it over the last year, methinks a lot of bands don't know how to market themselves, or even have the time to market themselves, or are leary about making it bigtime. Hard to say. - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 4:50pm | ||
Livevic Scott User Info... | As far as road work goes I think more local (victoria) bands are going out on the road and touring lately then anytime I can remember in the past while. I can think of 7-10 bands off the top of my head that have done at least modest tours in the past 8 months, not too bad considering our cities size =) - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 5:11pm | ||
METALNECK User Info... | They signed to 604? Are they gonna change their name to "Theory of a Default"? - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 6:16pm | ||
The Dude User Info... | What the F??? Have you retards heard the other bands on 604?? They sound nothing like Nickleback, nor do the Armchair Cynics. Congrats boys! Wouldn't it be cool if some dude who has worked with rock gods such as Ozzy, or bands like KISS and maybe most recently Chevelle liked your guys sound and wanted to work with you as well. Wow, that would really piss the local ass clowns off. There jealousy breeds hate but their ignorance is bliss!!! - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 6:54pm | ||
Mr. Hell User Info... | The Dude = Chad Kroeger - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 7:04pm | ||
MonkeyWithNoBones User Info... | Theory of a Default! Ha ha ha. I'm not a big fan of the cynics, but nonetheless you've got to be happy for them. Unfortunate about the label though. Nickleback is the ugliest manifestation in music today. the epitomy of everything wrong with music. Why must the Canadian mainstream be so embaressing? So many awsome bands exist, but it's always the lamest watered down shit that gets any play. Canadian music could definatly use some dischord. - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 7:16pm | ||
METALNECK User Info... | Hey, don't take me the wrong way. I have seen the armchair cynics a few times and I like them. They are pretty damn good radio friendly generic rock. I think it has alot to do with their bassist though, he keeps me entertained when they are on stage. I just like making fun of nickelcrack and all there clones. - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 7:56pm | ||
Empty hollow User Info... | Shit thought i almost cared there for a moment......and its gone - Tue, 30 Sep 2003 8:06am | ||
davescene User Info... | Theory of a Dead Chad, Nickelchad, they all sound the same... - Tue, 30 Sep 2003 9:32am | ||
soap dodger User Info... | Does anyone have a source on this - other than second hand information from an anon poster? - Tue, 30 Sep 2003 9:54am | ||
John Voight User Info... | Basically from what I've heard, Armchair just got the deal that Grace Nocturnal turned down. - Tue, 30 Sep 2003 10:43am | ||
NOK Ian User Info... | I've talked to Adam from the Cynics, and yes it's true, they've signed on. - Tue, 30 Sep 2003 2:42pm | ||
dick splint User Info... | I hope that at least one of the Cynics starts sportin' a mullet like Chad Kroeger's. How does he make it so that it always looks wet? Astounding. Good luck Our Lady Peace!!!...Doh, I mean Armchair Cynics!!! - Tue, 30 Sep 2003 3:05pm | ||
One Divided User Info... | Dick Splint, not that I am one to defend Chad, but you must be an idiot if you think Chad has a mullet.. Go to http://www.mulletsgalore.com and see what a real mullet looks like! - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 1:22am | ||
Pierce User Info... | OUr Lady Peace??? I am a huge OLP fan as well as an Armchair Cynics fan, and they sound nothing alike. Armchair Cynics have a good gig going, congrats!!! - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 6:43am | ||
Dick Splint User Info... | Go here an click on "Inside 604 HQ" http://www.604records.com/framed2.html - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 1:16pm | ||
dave User Info... | why? - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 1:31pm | ||
spark User Info... | um, yeah what did that have to do with the cynics? and by the way, congrats guys! - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 2:01pm | ||
Gman User Info... | Chad *so* does not have a mullet - mullets are generally characterised by SHORT FRONT BANGS which Chad does NOT have. Just want to be pedantic here for a second, okay? Gman - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 3:43pm | ||
Dick Splint User Info... | I was just being cynical. A thousand apologies. I would offer my congratulations too, except that most record deals don't merrit a congrats, but more likely "Oh my God, I'm so sorry." They've been noticed so they must be doing something right. All the best to them in their endeavors. But don't tell me that C. Kroeger isn't sporting a mullet in that picture! If thats not a mullet I don't know what is. - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 3:48pm | ||
_Griphin_ User Info... | Yeah, yeah, ok we're obviously gonna make comparisons to Armchair and Nickleback, but Theory of a Deadman apparently came out before Nickleback, and man there album is AWESOME! Invisible Man is one of the coolest tracks I've heard, it;s just a fun drunk tune, nuff said... And the only reason I like Theory is cause of the video for "Nothing Could Come Between Us", especially when the rig and the car wipe out all there amps, and the lead singer taps a piece of amp off his shoulder. This proves one point, a video can make or break a tune. - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 6:03pm | ||
One Divided User Info... | Dick Splint, Agreed, it does appear very much mulletesque in that picture, although I'm sure it must be combed back at the front and not be a real mullet... - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 6:09pm | ||
METALNECK User Info... | LOL you are funny Griphin! I haven't laughed like that in a while! Yeah, like someone actually likes theory of a defualt! - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 6:41pm | ||
Dick Splint User Info... | The only thing cool about Theory of a Default is the lead singer's handlebar moustache. I'm all for rock stars with moustaches of any sort. If I were a rock star I'd alternate between the little Hitler moustache and the Tom Seleck full on comb it out moustache. In fact, if the Cynics want to sell more than five thousand albums they should all grow moustaches of various lengths and thickness. Just remember -the front man ALWAYS owns the biggest moustache. - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 8:18pm | ||
Brandon User Info... | Like moustaches??? check this out http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/ - Thu, 2 Oct 2003 12:04am | ||
bearhead User Info... | the tastes in music on this spool makes me queeeezy. - Sun, 5 Oct 2003 7:39pm | ||
_Griphin_ User Info... | Hey I listen to all types of music. The only other reason for liking a band like ToaD, that crunchy guitar sound! - Mon, 6 Oct 2003 12:00am | ||
