| Anonymous | What the fuck is with you "ska dudes"? - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 10:05pm | ||
| Robson | Yo didn't you hear, people with negative attitudes suck!! and as for us "ska dudes", well maybe we're not afraid to stray from the main stream, unlike some people who crave to be just like every body else...Ska is high energy, and lots of fun, I can understand if it's not your thing, but why can't you understand if it is our thing? you know what they say, "different strokes for different folks"... - Tue, 7 Jan 2003 12:55pm | ||

| Anonymous | i bought one ska album so i dont need to buy anymore. there is only so much i can handle of honkies wanting to be jamaican( no disrespect to my carribean brothas). Anyways who wants to listen to songs all day about people walking and whats with the pants and the misconceoption that you are listening to something thats "new" and "underground" i fell into that trap for about five minutes until i realised that preassure cooker sounded like everyone else in that genre - Tue, 7 Jan 2003 2:57pm | ||

| Anonymous | Your guy's corny band dont count, so don't let it go to your head, Slick. - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 12:00am | ||
| Robson | Yo Gare, what's up man?? you have any thing going these days, wanna play your horn? - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 2:00am | ||
| brett | people who think pressure cooker sounds like every other ska really doesn't know a thing about ska. listen to some skatalites or desmond dekker and tell me that they sound like pressure cooker. learn a bit about the music before you hack it down. - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 5:32pm | ||
| J-Drummer User Info... | Well, guess of his dozen responses, looks like there's room for at least one interested instead of critical response... Hey ska dude, this another one of us supposed "trying-to-be-Jamaican" fellas.. Heck, I even throw cinnamon, bananas, coconut milk, and ginger into my mornin' porridge... Threw all those into my pancakes this morning, for a ranch-meets-Carib hybrid brekkie... I think it's funny people tease the "wannabe Jamaicans"... Just because I enjoy music from the caribbean, as well as food, women, culture...from there and from other countries besides this uni-color country...I smoked some weed supposedly from Jamaican seed the other day... strong..! Anyways, ska dude, I know yer prob. bored of hearing about my oatmeal, etc... so to the point..: If you need drums, gimme a call... I listen to: Reggae Ska Dub Funk Dancehall Jazz Jungle / D & B / Hip Hop /etc... Some of you don't like horns.. cuz you only know one kind of horny... Bring on the brass, I say... and the skankin' rhythem guitars, keys, fat bass lines... So you like rootsy ska? or punky ska? I like rootsy-jazzy-funky ska, but am willing to taste the rest... Let me know, I've got a funky old 60's jazzy drumkit I'm using while I bail out the Ayotte's from L & M, they'd sound sweet with ska-noises... [email protected] -if you wanna communicate minus this message board... (should call it a message "bored"... - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 6:08pm | ||
| Justin | Whats with this bullshit dissin ska? theres nothin wrong with it. And plus if your a "jamaican wannabe" you'd play reggae then, not ska. But reggaes still awesome. but still if theres one type of you "music" we should all hate it's rap. I mean raps not even music its just some guy talkin into a mic and maybe with some cheesey keyboards or drum machine or guy making sounds with his mouth (all of those things are more musical then rap). So dont fuck with ska just shit on rap.( or puke on it. either way it's good). - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 11:06pm | ||
| Justin | and plus whats wrong with wanting to be jamaican, jamaica is awesome. you racist bastards. - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 11:10pm | ||
| Brett | just so you know Justin, Ska originated in Jamaica before Reggae. it went ska to rocksteady to reggae. Bob Marley even played ska before he played reggae. - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 11:17pm | ||
| Gare User Info... | "I'm fakin' jamaican, fakin' jamaican mon" I guess you think that all Jazz musicians need to have dark skin and a raspy voice too eh? - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 11:50pm | ||
| Gare User Info... | Right time for some shameless promotion BC SKA !!http://www.geocities.com/bc_ska/bc_ska.html or the hoochy girls website http://drink.to/thehoochygirls - Thu, 9 Jan 2003 12:07am | ||
| Anonymous | ska i s the dumbed down version of reggae for white people because they cant handle anything less than 140bpm - Thu, 9 Jan 2003 1:13am | ||
| Robson | I've had a couple replies from drummers, let's hear it for the drummers!! We just need to get another guitar, bass, some one who can sing, and some horny people...remember it's not how big you are, but how you use your tool...so come on, and play that thing....I wanna hear from YOU!! - Thu, 9 Jan 2003 12:15pm | ||
| ian too late User Info... | ska rules...eat my bunghole - Thu, 9 Jan 2003 10:11pm | ||
| Ian on time | Ska sucks. Eat my ass. Nice scooter and tie by the way, ya stem. - Fri, 10 Jan 2003 12:02am | ||
| Justin | yah i know ska came first but reggae kindof took it's place. at least in my mind it did. The Clash is awesome cause they mixed punk, politics, and reggae. Thats cool. - Sat, 11 Jan 2003 12:32am | ||
| Justin | I can play guitar or bass or trumpet for you. - Sat, 11 Jan 2003 12:35am | ||
| Justin | I dont even listen to or play ska. what am i talking about. - Sat, 11 Jan 2003 12:35am | ||
| Robson | hey Justin... are you at all interested?? I may, or may not have two guitars and a bass already...but trumpets are always welcome...let me know...Robson - Sat, 11 Jan 2003 10:56pm | ||
| Justin | I know some really good trumpet players. But I'm not big into ska so i dunno. - Sun, 12 Jan 2003 12:13am | ||
| vinyl_villain | hey i play guitar if ya need two so jsut email me about it, imreally into mustard plug and reel big fishes older stuff - Sun, 12 Jan 2003 12:54am | ||
| Gare User Info... | You can have my trumpet services when I come home in the summer - Sun, 12 Jan 2003 7:00pm | ||
| jordandrummer User Info... | And let's not go "hating" rap... we need not "hate" any musics... I tell people I enjoy all musics 'cept for maybe country and rap... but I don't hate rap, in fact I do enjoy listening to some Hip Hop... despite the often drum machines, ,etc., sometimes the grooves are fat and the lyrics potent.. But like every genre, there is the cheese and the cream... Hey ska dude, I know bass and guitar players, let's just get together and see what happens.. I also know percussionist and maybe a horn player.. I look forward to playing some rootsy ska (which some may say sounds just like "reggae".. it's all really related... mento morphed to calypso which begat ska then rocksteady, finally reggae and dub, now we have jungle, ragga, dancehall, hop.. funk... it's all RIDDIM.. as my jamaican bass player bro used to insist.. Until then... J. - Mon, 13 Jan 2003 6:00pm | ||
| Joe User Info... | Ska rules, man I hate people that insult ska. - Mon, 13 Jan 2003 8:45pm | ||
| Lurker User Info... | Any mention of ska causes for propagandhi to spin in my cd player. Best description of ska ever. Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fucks. - Tue, 14 Jan 2003 1:31am | ||
| Anonymous | its kind of weird how half the ska bands in the world cover that propagandhi song - Tue, 14 Jan 2003 4:42pm | ||
| Anonymous | Ska is just plain silly - Tue, 14 Jan 2003 10:49pm | ||
| Justin | Dude just cause i hate rap doesn't mean i dont respect it as some fucked up retarded musical form. you gotta respect all "Music" - Wed, 15 Jan 2003 8:00pm | ||
| Gare User Info... | So Mr. Frazer Johnson I take it you listen to punk to be cool? We listen to ska because we like it. I'd say in the last few years punk has gone through quite the same "revival" with all these Blink 182, Sum41 bands. Along with all the crap some good ska has/and is still being released (same can be said for punk). - Wed, 15 Jan 2003 10:55pm | ||
| Justin | I agree with this kid - Thu, 16 Jan 2003 8:55pm | ||
| Justin | not that i got anything against some of those bands - Sat, 18 Jan 2003 10:56pm | ||
| Gare User Info... | whats the matter the debate is over? - Sun, 19 Jan 2003 6:45pm | ||
| cj | ROBSON- hey..I've been seriously trying to put a ska/punk band together forever..finally..I found you so let's talk. Female vox/lyricist. email me details please. anyone else interested also. serious peeps only. [email protected] - Sun, 19 Jan 2003 6:54pm | ||
| Jordan Robson - Cramer User Info... | Upon first inspection I thought I may have taken drugs and posted a thread about starting a ska band. Thank god that didn't happen. - Sun, 19 Jan 2003 8:30pm | ||
| Destr-OiOiOi User Info... | Justin you aven't got anything wrong with Sum41 or Blink182? - Sun, 19 Jan 2003 10:38pm | ||
| Anonymous | What the fuck is with you "Ska dudes"? - Sun, 19 Jan 2003 11:07pm | ||
| Anonymous | what the fuck is with "dudes" dudes? - Mon, 20 Jan 2003 12:29pm | ||

| Kizz | Hey, my band is looking for another guitarist. We're into playing alternative, punk rock, not any pop punk. Starting to write our own stuff.... - Mon, 7 Apr 2003 6:14pm | ||
| J User Info... | hey dude, one tip: post a fresh message with your needs in the subject line... no-one's gonna look at the bottom of this old ska-band post, it's old and many are ska-dissers anyways... Just in case you didn't know. - Tue, 8 Apr 2003 1:42pm | ||
