Five IRon Fernzy anyone?

[bornl33t]

welp, I was just doing a search on FIF and came accrost this old thread... not to be bring back threads from their grave but I have got to say ...I'm jealous of you Major that would have been a great concert!!!! I don't think I'll ever see a Reliant K concert... just not the "in" thing in Iowa.... Beam I had no clue you were into christian punk and ska? what a kewl surprise... dunno how this one sliped by me in the first place!

[bornl33t]

ahh yeah before I forget... check out slick shoes, Pillar, Oc supertones all star united, mxpx too

[beam]

Heat: I saw Slick Shoes in concert in Waterloo...with Ace Troubleshooter, .rod Laver, and Calibretto 13. It was a blast. Small little gym....Heartland Vineyard church.

I'm not necessarily into punk/ska. I love MXPX hahahaha

They did Major Damage's theme song: "Responsibility...what's that?!?! Responsibility not quite yet!" hahahaha j/k major

I love POD...Fundamental Elements of Southtown and Satellite
I also like Skillet's Alien Youth...man there are soooo many great bands. I don't mind rap/hip-hop either.

lol, that is a pretty fun song. You'd be surprised, I am much more responsible than you'd think .
LOL this is so funny that this came back up cuz I was just getting ready to make a new thread on FIF's new CD! This thing rocks! Its definetly not ska though. Its alot more "Skacore" which dosn't exactly mean harder(well some songs are), but like its a mixture of ska and anything else. Some stuff is almost alternative, and I hate alternative, but this stuff rules. Reese Roper is like one of the best song writers Ive ever heard of. He rules

Yeah MxPx rules! I also saw Pillar in concert, but they wern't my "Cup of Tea". I prefer hardcore to rapcore. Supertones used to be good, but now they are like contemporary music with horns. And All Star United's older stuff was kinda good. I have only heard a little bit of Slick Shoes' stuff, I can't remember how I liked them. Calibretto 13 is a funny band lol, I don't know how to classify them. Its like screaming lyrics with accoustic guitars strumming real fast lol. "Little Gay Man" is a song that sounds funny(musically). POD is also "ok", I just don't get into rapcore that much. I havn't heard Skillet's new stuff, I used to have their first CD, but gave it away. I have like one or two of .rod laver's songs, and it was pretty coola. I think Relient K is way better than Ace Troubleshooter though.

Lately Ive been listening to this new FIF CD, The Huntingtons, Hangnail, and Dogwood. Dogwood rules . Although I think FIF is my favorite.

Yup Heat, it was a great concert. My shoe and watch fell asleep in the mosh pit, so I had to leave the pit before FIF got on . But it was an awesome concert. I can't wait to see FIF in concert again. It was my second time seeing them, and it ruled. The first time I saw them with The Insyderz, The W's, and Justin McRoberts.

Anyone else like Disciple? Disciple rules. Also Smiley Kids was a pretty good band, they are doing a reunion tour thing in select cities(not mine ). But I find myself listening to old MxPx stuff ofton, they are just cool .

Well i'm gonna stop typing now
<B>IVE GOT A PROTRACTOR! GOT A STAPLER NOW, IT GOES "KACHING"!</b>

ENDO!

not to be offensive or anything but what is it about certain religions that inspires idiocy? i'm just going to use christianity because that's the topic here and it's the one that i see the most but there are a few religions that tend to cause people to be very stupid. i'm not saying every christian is stupid but for some reason there's an awful lot of them. personally i find the God loves me deliriously happy christians rather annoying. most of you probably know the kind that i mean. the people that are always happy no matter what and when you ask them why they tell you they're happy becasue they know god loves them. there was one girl that i knew in highschool. sweet girl i really liked her. she wrote in my yearbook "remember that God loves you more than anyone on earth can." i didn't know whether to be happy or sad. should i be happy that someone loves me that much or be sad cause i'm never going to find that love on earth. lol. and i don't like christians who try to convert people. very few other religions do that. most of them just wait for people to ask them about it or they'll hand out primers and wait for people to come to them for details. christians seem to be more active in converting people. probably the whole hell thing. i'd probably be trying to save people too if i believed in it. no problem. but for whatever reason there seems to be a lot of semi-intelligent christians who make up false proofs of God's existence. i find that pretty sad. there's other proofs that are true but they have obvious holes in them so they don't prove anything. but when they just start making things up i take exception to that. i think that's the major problem with christianity. it's not the religion itself it's the fact that they've got a surplus of annoying followers.

[MantisMag]

just so everyone knows i'm agnostic. and if i offended anyone i'm sorry. those are just my opinions and i attempted to make them as nonoffensive as possible. although by their nature they probably pissed a few people off. oh well. can't make everyone happy. to thine own self be true. and screw what everyone else thinks!

[MajorDamage]

I don't wanna get this debate started again...lol. But just think of it this way, if you were on a sinking ship and you knew where there were more than enough lifeboats, wouldn't you try and rescue people?

ENDO!

[beam]

mantismag: didn't offend me....

major damage: i like hangnail kinda....it's actually in my car's cd player right now. our youth group (im 26...so im not in it...i help lead it) went to the Cornerstone festival, but I didn't get to go Anyway, the group had a golf cart that they were using and a buddy of mine picked this one dude up who needed a ride....it was REESE!!! he even came by their campsite and chilled for a bit. they said it was cool.

also...did you know your AO name has a swear word in it?!?!?!

major DAMage ....and you call yourself a Christian?! hahahha

[MajorDamage]

LOL, well thats not spelled the same...but ok. hehe
SWEET! They drove Reese around! Thats awesome! I think I moshed with Sonny but I'm not sure. Because when he went on stage he had this dress shirt(like for a suit or somin) on that I noticed earlier this guy in the pit had the same shirt, but I didn't see the guy in the pit anymore after FIF went on...And Jeff answered the door to this other FIF concert that we didn't get to go to because it started an hour later than we thought it was going to, and my Youth Pastor had work really early.... And I met Sang Kim from the Insyderz, and he signed some of my stuff . But it dosn't beat driving Reese around! I wish I could have went to Cornerstone, it always looks so cool!

ENDO!

Woaw that's powerful. I've though my whole life I was a christian with a few major problems that just needed to be worked over. Let me tell you I had a rude awakening early this year. And that statment by MD is something that just proves it. I didn't care to show ppl where the lifeboats were.
My experiances of Jan 2nd opened my eye to many things. The whole music debate is resolved in my mind. It was the Cd I had in just then that convicted me above all else. NO one can tell me that all CCM is bad and not God honoring. Same thing with the whole online preaching. I always though that the "online medium" was something that couldn't be used for sowing a seed. When I started talking on ICQ to a long lost friend I had no clue where she would take me that night.
Sooooo this is my testimony. Take it for what it's worth, but I have 20 years of catching up to do now.

Major you are surprising me.... if you have MSN messenger or Icq wanna let me add ya? Same thing for you beam?

[beam]

Heat: I don't have MSN messanger, and I haven't been able to connect to ICQ for a while. I do have AIM. my screen name is: bakedbeam

That sounds really cool...I was 19 when I got the wakeup call....we can try and hook up on AIM or something and talk about it there.

[MajorDamage]

Sure man, my MSN name is [email protected] , and my ICQ number is 20424204, but I hardly ever use ICQ. I'm almost always on MSN though. Talk to ya on there then!

ENDO!

[bornl33t]

I've always been a ICQ person... it's the last thing left over from the days when I was getting in trouble with puters... long story But hte reason for it was the LOG feature.. it keeps a LOG forever! it's great

Besides I though MSN And AIM were going to hook up and share users er something?

I just tried to add beam to MSN and it didn't work so they're not on the smae system yet if ever. Sorry beam but for now I don't have AIM...I'll let ya know if I get it though...

I agree, POD just annoys me. They don't have much, what would you call it, talent? Jeez, I could play a better guitar part. Don't Creed's lyrics talk about God?

I don't have P.O.D.s newest album, but I am a guitarist and some of their music, epspecially their earlier stuff, can be challenging at times. I am talking abou the albums Brown, Live, Snuff the Punk here. I used to live in San Diego. I remember going to a punk/hardcore concert and P.O.D. played there before they got big. This was in 1997. If you have ever heard the song 'Full Color' you know exactly what I am talking about, a song that can make a whole audience come to tears, that is the impact. It takes talent and heart. Back then their guitarist included in some songs various Flamenco solos. Actually, I really don't listen to P.O.D. that much, as rapcore is not my fav. but I greatly respect the band, even if their newest album isn't that great(I really haven't even heard it) I do know that they are talented Pick up a copy of P.O.D. Live if you can find it, what a truly heartfelt album.

Try Cast in Stone. Their newer stuff is definitely black metal with a tint of hardcore.

Also try Indwelling. They are Metal with a crazy deep growling singer. You just have to hear it.

Those are the only Black metal bands I know of, and Extol and Living Sacrifice. I don't know if these two bands are Black Metal or not, but they are definitely quality metal. Try going to www.facedownrecords.com then look under 'Distro' and then pick 'Metal' and you should get a nice selection of QUALITY metal.
