| ML7Mike | Well, after we played a great show at Burnside Elementary to 200+ kids ( thanks Scott! ) we headed up to Thursdays to catch 3 Inches Of Blood. Got there in time to see the last few Scanners songs, so cant really say much as I was probably in the beer lineup. Then STREETS came on.. Pretty good band, they kept the crowd going, and it seemed to me that they got better during the last 3 or 4 songs, or maybe they saved their best songs for last.. I couldnt really see them, even though I was 6 feet from the stage. 3 Inches Of Blood.. well they were damn good. Been hearing so much about them lately, apparently they are creating quite the buzz. I can see why! Classic old school metal at its finest, but with heavy vocals added in and no cheesy spandex. Very tight, and lots of prescence, again, they kept the mosh going strong throughout. And I climbed onto a table so I could actually watch the band... But thats Thursdays for ya, worst sightlines in town! - Sun, 27 Oct 2002 12:03pm | ||
| Myka User Info... | They did pretty good up 'ere in Nanaimo last night, as well. fuckin eh. good metal less cheese. FROMAGE! - Sun, 27 Oct 2002 12:58pm | ||
| Jesse | Fucking rights. STREETS ripped it up in Nanaimo, by far the most entertaining band i have seen in awhile, Fucking Hilarious. I'd originally gone to see 3" but I think Streets totally stole the show. 3" ripped it up too, but a bit TOO Maiden for me. The sound guy at the cambie that night is a fucking idiot as well, im sure that didnt help out. - Tue, 29 Oct 2002 2:55pm | ||
| Jay Watts User Info... | Soundguy responding to Ami's "I LOVE POL POT" sticker: "Dude, I love pot, too!" Most of the people at the Cambie seemed rather unaffected by the bands, which was disappointing, because STREETS played like fucking maniacs and 3IOB was tight and great as usual. jay - Tue, 29 Oct 2002 5:57pm | ||
| Areo | just a question, Jay Watts: The "I love Pol Pot" sticker is ironic? Pol Pot murdered millions of people, yet some asshole wears a sticker for kitschy fun? Obviously no one loves Pol Pot- yet were is the humour? Maybe I'm way out of line, but I'm just wondering. - Wed, 30 Oct 2002 3:37am | ||
| Jay Watts User Info... | Everyone deserves love. Even murderers. - Wed, 30 Oct 2002 10:46am | ||
| Anonymous | I'm still laughing about the "dude, I love pot too" comment. hoooooboy. I don't usually laugh out loud towards my computer, but man! - Wed, 30 Oct 2002 1:38pm | ||
| ML7Mike | Seen the shirt with Jesus down at Olde Nicks? He is standing there with his palms outstretched and he says "Got Nails?" Yeah. They should make a Pol Pot shirt. And an Idi Amin shirt for some ethnic variety, maybe a Milosovich or Mugabe shirt for the modern look. people from Victoria are too sensitive ( as usual ) - Wed, 30 Oct 2002 3:39pm | ||
| Jay Watts User Info... | I am a bourgeoisie fuck. I'd wear the Idi Amin shirt. That illiterate bastard was a cannibal. These are all completely shameful ideas/shirts, and I'd never wear them in front of my mother, but nonetheless, sometimes one has to mock the conditions that the rest of humanity live in, and that we are free from. - Wed, 30 Oct 2002 3:43pm | ||
| ML7Mike | Some yuppy accosted me in a KFC once because of my Dead Jesus "Fuck The Skull Of Christ" shirt. I wonder if the demon fucking a skeletal christ on the cross in the head picture had anything to do with his attitude. :D - Wed, 30 Oct 2002 7:38pm | ||
| Myka User Info... | It could have, but I personally think it's funny as shit!! - Thu, 31 Oct 2002 2:22pm | ||
| Areo | Thats really funny shit. Okay the KFC thing is funny- but Pol Pot isnt funny. Would "I love Hitler" be ironically funny? Mass Murder isnt funny. What if my father was killed by Pol Pot? I know several Cambodians who fled that regime. - Thu, 31 Oct 2002 10:15pm | ||
| Jay Watts User Info... | It's all funny until you realize the actual implications of expressing such sentiments. - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 10:45am | ||
| ML7Mike | I think it is funny in a "stir up peoples emotions" kind of way. But if somebody were wearing a Pol Pot shirt to glorify Pol Pot that would be different. guess it is up to the wearer to decide how to wear it. But what about all these commie punks with Mao Tse Tung busts all over everything? I mean Mao killed what, 7.5 mill in the war, 8.5 mill after the war and another 27 mill starved to death! Would you accost them at shows? Do you go to an AK-47 gig with a protest sign? I mean cmon.. its all in context right? - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 11:45am | ||
| Jay Watts User Info... | Maybe Ami actually likes Pol Pot. Who are we to judge? - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 12:27pm | ||
| Jay Watts User Info... | Ohh, to answer a question posed earlier, yes, "I Love Hitler" would be ironically funny, because it's quite obvious that the person didn't love Hitler, therefore it's IRONIC that she or he would express this sentiment on a shirt and not actually hold it. IRONY. It would not be IRONIC if they did love Hitler. - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 1:25pm | ||
| Myka User Info... | However... if they loved Hitler, adn wore an "I hate Hitler" shirt, that too, would be Ironic. - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 4:55pm | ||
| Adrenaline Animal | It's like raineeeeain on your weding day............... - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 7:14pm | ||
| Areo | Technically "I love Hitler" would be ironic if the person didn't like hitler- But to say that that is funny is something else. Humour is subjective, but to wear a shirt using Hitler (or Pol Pot) as novelty isn't really very funny. Anyone who knows someone who has died knows that you could never laugh about it. "ha ha ha... cancer!". Or for that matter- "I Love Cancer" As far as Mao goes, its a judgement call. He arguably brought the country a long way- reducing poverty and saving lives. But as far as Pol Pot goes- no one could say that he was in any way good. - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 9:15pm | ||
| Areo | qoute :"Maybe Ami actually likes Pol Pot. Who are we to judge? -" Irony is so tired. But if this person likes Pol Pot, or says they do ironically, they're all mixed up and should maybe learn a thing or two. Pol Pot isn't Lenin, or even Charles Manson. - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 9:31pm | ||
| matt t User Info... | he did what hitler wouldnt even do though and thats kill his own people without a second thought well thats considering hitler didnt think of jews as germans. - Fri, 1 Nov 2002 11:19pm | ||
| the gleamer | I think we're missing the point. Irony is dead! no humor is ever allowed to come from that flogged carcas again. After recent world events I think it poiniant to note how taking humor from pol pot and hitler is just to outrageous to consider. We live in a free and democratic society so people can say whatever they please as long as it doesn't infringe on other people. who's to say what infringes, not me, I don't know who but being Ironic is definitely no longer funny. Now if you'll excuse me I have a few episodes of friends stored up on my Tivo. - Sat, 2 Nov 2002 2:29am | ||
| Anonymous | No gleamer I think you are missing the point, this thread is about a 3", Streets show, I had to work that night but from what I heard it was one kick ass show. - Sat, 2 Nov 2002 4:45am | ||
| Gleamer | I was there. It was great, I almost didn't go cuz someone told me STREETS was stuck in nanaimo but they got they just in time and it was good. Three inches of blood are cool but I can't deal with over 3 minutes of a true metal headman scream. Scanners ruled. - Sat, 2 Nov 2002 12:30pm | ||
| Areo | Yeah matt t- amen. And yes, irony is sooo 1998. - Sat, 2 Nov 2002 7:03pm | ||

| Anonymous | Mao killed more than Hitler, pol pot & Stalin combined. Yet it's still all right for some trendy maoists to sport their shirts just because his killing was less sensicle & towards his own. He took the country out of starvation & saved lives- seems you've been reading the wrong books-possibly his autobiography. I read the downing street years & didn't learn what actually happened, just what Thatcher saw from inside her posh mansion. I wish I seen 3'. - Mon, 4 Nov 2002 10:44am | ||
| Jay Watts User Info... | It's all funny until a group of Cambodian nationalists find me and beat me down on the street. - Mon, 4 Nov 2002 11:14am | ||
| Myka User Info... | always remember... it's all fun and games, untill someone loses an eye... then it's a sport. - Mon, 4 Nov 2002 12:21pm | ||
| ML7Mike | Im gonna get me a Bin Laden shirt. - Mon, 4 Nov 2002 6:27pm | ||
| jay brown User Info... | I want an I love cancer shirt. - Mon, 4 Nov 2002 7:28pm | ||
| jay brown User Info... | Tyler, make me an I love cancer shirt....... please. - Mon, 4 Nov 2002 7:30pm | ||
| Areo | Do you know anyone killed by cancer?? Probably wasn't too funny at the time. - Tue, 5 Nov 2002 2:15pm | ||

| ML7Mike | Ya. Jay Brown is the last guy in the world who has a right to make fun of cancer. Damn you Jay Brown! I hope you get cancer now! Im going to get a shirt with a picture of Jay Brown on it that says FUCK YOU CANCER VICTIMS! Disclaimer: For all you overly sensitive Victoria treehuggers, my post is dripping with sarcasm, and please don't attribute my comments to my obviously massively inflated ego. - Tue, 5 Nov 2002 3:09pm | ||
| Masturbating the War God User Info... | You're not fooling anyone Mike - Tue, 5 Nov 2002 6:31pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | How about an "I Have Cancer" shirt? Then on the back have "Haha, Made You Feel Bad For Me. Sucker.". Might as well go the extra mile while people are being sensitive saps about everything. And yes, I have had some people close to me die from cancer. They maintained their sense of humour throughout even with that terrible disease killing them slowly. So for those of you who don't have it, lighten up. - Tue, 5 Nov 2002 7:05pm | ||
| jay brown User Info... | well now, um ya I have been trying to get a shirt made for months that says I have cancer.... hows your fuckin day.So lets see now, I have cancer, my mom has cancer, my uncle has cancer, and my grandpa used to. Yup I think I'm allowed to make cancer jokes. - Tue, 5 Nov 2002 7:40pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | make it yourself cancerboy! - Tue, 5 Nov 2002 8:15pm | ||
