how was your trip jax forum stress free? I hope lol

Yes, it was a most awesome trip, thank you for asking.

Dubya....we're ancy over them because we're promised them! When the originaly announced the album, we wheretold we'd get some photos and shit l8ter on! Its not that we DEMAND or NEED the updates, but some of us (fans of the band, of the forums) where told we'd recieve that stuff, and they still wait anxiously!

The band said they wanted to get studio photos/video. They've just recently entered the studio to record, so you haven't missed out on much; there was nothing to really photograph during the writing stage. This cd is turning out to be a matter of 'everything that could go wrong has gone wrong' & as I mentioned before, I'd rather let them focus on getting the cd done than pester them with other stuff. I will ask if they've been able to get photos or video, but frankly it's not a priority at this point, letting them get the cd done is. Sometimes the best laid plans plans don't work out; ya'll have to realize that & not get so personally offended by it or life's going to be miserable for you.

As for bans, I don't ban people simply for being idiots or for disagreeing with me or criticizing me. Ursut has been banned at least once before and has a history of coming in, starting shit, & basically only stirring the pot with no actual productive input..not something we need here when everyones panties are so wadded up already. I had nothing to do with War Blade's ban, but he was on borrowed time as it is after pissing off the owner of UM, so I'm going to guess that his behavior in other forums is what led to him being shown the door.

Regarding the promotions thread, I have nothing against CM; they kicked my ass all over the place at PPUSA last year, & were actually the first band there in years whose entire set I actually stayed for (aside from SymX). Frankly, I'm surprised all to hell that people were upset by this simple action. But there's a difference between 'what did you think of this band's blah blah blah' and 'go here to check out my/this band's blah blah blah'..the latter is promotion & belongs in the promotions thread, & the same would apply if it were PoS or Evergrey or whoever coming in to share their latest.

Lastly, JayDub is indeed friggin hilarious, & as he said, is only more so once you meet him in person. Ask him to do his Udo impression sometime, it's classic. *laughs & ducks*

Thank you for banning ursut.

+1 That guy did nothing but harass me along with everybody else here.

+2. I remember the last time he trolled here, and I quoted almost an entire thread, just to get him to shut up.

I think that cover is awesome. If they chose that one I would not be disappointed at all.

 

[turke]

The idea of the cover is well. But who knows if it is the original one...

As mentioned earlier in this thread, go read the latest studio report for info on that.

 

[turke]

OK sorry.

 

[Jax]

No worries.

 

[RequiemX]

Yeah. I did notice tensions are high.

I think some people may just want those "hey! There's Allen and Romeo sitting down at a table!" or "hey! There's Rullo washing his hands!" photos to reassure themselves that yes, the world is still spinning. On the other hand, there are some who don't even understand that those simple things are wanted. I think that very dichotomy is creating the tensions.

Personally, where can I pre-order?

Jax, for the next album, might I suggest going the Jon Schaffer/Iced Earth route...don't say a fucking WORD about ANYTHING until like 3 months before the album comes out

 

[Jax]

Sounds good to me, Matt, only how about we wait until 3 weeks before?

 

[Metalman7983]

yea and MJR could change is name when they go into the studio so no one knows who he is.

I would go with Romeo Michaels even though that sounds like a porn name lol it could be the new emo band symphonic extreme hah

Yes, but when you keep everyone in the dark, people start to make things up. I don't know about you, but i wouldn't want a ton of spam topics regarding the album. You could just keep in the info basic. How many tracks, release date, etc.

 

[Tubbs]

Even take it to the next step - don't tell anybody until the day before the release!

 

[proulxski]

Now where getting somewhere haha

 

[turke]

You are becoming more and more "Portnoyish"

 

[Metalman7983]

A new prog word Portnoyish haha what would be the definition?
