Ian says:

blah blah FSF blah blah -FREAKING SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE IS TOURING WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS!!! There would be no Further Seems Forever without Sunny Day Real Estate, this is amazing news!!

daguitarmaster says:

@musicelitist: yeah you wish dude.
@Ian(one21music): just the entire music scene in general. look around you. every single artist out there seems to be either really gay, or trying to copycat underoath, the emo-kings. If that’s what kids are into these days, whatever. You can defend your views, or anything because everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but what ever happened to good music?

No, these guys are full-on sell outs. If they happen to get back together (God forbid), I’d like to see that they dropped the whiny emo heartbreak lyrics, along with their fish-net stockings and mascara (fsf isn’t like that, but most other bands are *coughSHOWBREADcough*)

Kingofthepirates says:

Uh…Fist, FSF didn’t have heartbreak lyrics after The Moon is Down. And even that was only like…3 songs.
2…the closest Underoath was to emo was They’re Only Chasing Safety, something they’ve obviously left behind.
C. Showbread is also not emo.
29. Good music is alive and well.

No need to be so hostile, is there? Just cause you don’t get it doesn’t make it bad.

Ian (One21 Music) says:

they didnt make any money…how could they be sell-outs?
FSF was a really good band. On the surface, yes, they seemed like a lot of the other bands in the post-hardcore scene. But there was something different about that band, its really hard to explain. If you ever got to see them live, you would understand what I am saying. I never got to see Chris, but I know that Jason was a killer front man, one that I made a effort to see 5 times in one year.

My comment about the emo thing was this: I run a music site, and I am also a music business major, and I do my research to not look like a complete fool. What most people call “emo” today is what we called goth punk, or pop punk when I was in high school. It is actually pop rock with sprinkles of more aggressive genres so that it doesnt look like pop rock. If My Chemical Romance had come out in the 90s, they would have been a “alternative” band.

Emo was actually the marriage between folk music and post hardcore. A lot of the post hardcore guys, who had been in hardcore bands and were now playing progressive melodic rock, wanted to once again take the volume down a bit. Carraba is a good example of this, since he played heavier music early on, decided to sing with FSF, and then created Dashboard as a means to express his thoughts in a more intimate manner. Since the music was emotionally driven, it was dubbed “Emo”

all this to say, dont be ignorant music elitist, emo isnt polluting your airwaves, pop rock and its impressionable fans are…
…jeez he gets on here and is mad about FSF when a band like Jonas Brothers exists….(its kinda like when all the news could talk about was Anna Nicole Smith and you were like “….isnt there a war?”)

Travis Aker says:

That would be awesome if Chris Carabba came back to the band, I would buy there cd in a heart beat. Please tell this is gonna be true.

Ian says:

that wasnt my point, what is viewed as “emo” these days is more like the pop-rock/pop-punk of my day, but its just called emo…so bands that do emo well get lumped in with the more bland mainstream stuff that is overplayed and over done..
I like just about every form of music, but when something is popular and over done (as pop punk was in the late 90s), we see the worst sides of a style of music rather than the good ones..

no man, I love me some Saves The Day

counting_saturn says:

most of you have NO idea what you are talking about. Yeah FSF sounds like a lot of the crap thats out there. Except its WAY better.

This is huge news. All you whinny 15 year olds need to shut the fuck up and give credit to where credit is due.

mypridewar says:

FSF’s guitarists could play circles around many metal guitarists. And they’re way better musicians than Underoath could ever be, that’s not to cut on UO because I like them…but FSF was in a class all their own in songwriting. Each record had it’s own flare and tone, it was cool.

I hope Gleason comes back. He was my favorite. If it’s Carabba it’ll seem like another type of “comback” for him. Plus he wasn’t in the band very long after the “Moon” record. Gleason deserves it.

Just my two cents. Later, ladies.

jamiecta says:

not trying to start an argument, but to be fair, if you truly didn’t care if your thoughts meant nothing to people, you wouldn’t continue to try and defend your position or credibility. plus there is probably more than one person in this thread who has been involved in the music scene for an extended period of time ;). That doesn’t necessarily make your opinion or someone else’s in the industry any more valid.

justmebrian says:

no, well maybe i am not done. it just burns me up that you can just get on here with no sort of evidence or defense just blurt out the most ignorant things possible. If you said you didn’t like some band and then back it up with some reasons why i would let you have your OPINION. but when your OPINION is just a one line “look ma, imma gonna piss’em all off” remark your OPINION then turns to crap in my book. there… that’s my opinion.

justmebrian says:

yeah still alive… Sam what’s up bro! i took advantage of the facedown summer sale and picked up today forever full length for like $2.00. Have you heard it? it’s so good!

daguitarmaster says:

hey, look ma! it worked! haha why would i need to back up my opinion with proof if it’s only an opinion? wow, this site is overrun with pricks! and i never said i knew everything about the music scene. but i know im not clueless about it..im not the kind of person who just disses bands i hate just to start an argument. i guess change has come to america. we can no longer voice our opinions without being slammed by other posers. and to the dude that said i work at target, you crack me up dude

Scott L says:

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I even thought of it myself. :-) Obviously, I’m just giving you a hard time ’cause I don’t know you from Adam (although I do know a guy named Adam)… my point was that talk is cheap in situations like this. From all of us. Your certainly welcome to your opinion, but strong minority opinions will always cause waves to some degree. Glad to see you’re at least a pretty good sport about it.

Dave says:

Whoa you guys are getting close to 100 comments.

daguitarmaster says:

yeah sorry about calling you guys pricks as well..thats def not showing christ in my life

Dave says:

I’ve never seen them live,so I wonder if they’ll tour if their getting back together.

daguitarmaster says:

@justmebrian
my 5 five bands are:

1.Mychildren Mybride
2. Once Nothing
3. Becoming the Archetype
4. Oh Sleeper
5. The Showdown

mainly metal bands, but i do enjoy some “softer” stuff like Haste the Day, Emery, and all that.
yeah, i know that emery is classified as screamo as well, but theres just something about them that rings to me haha

josiahp says:

(chanted) BREAK THE NEWS! BREAK THE NEWS!

definitely having a hard time waiting for validation on this one….

Kevvy says:

I heard from some dude at the merch table at a couple of Mae shows that there was talk of a reunion…considering this was a week ago and it wasn’t prexactly too in depth, I’m guessing he hasn’t heard anything since then. I didn’t go into many details because it was before I saw this thread. We can hope, right? I wouldn’t expect Mr Gleason to be involved in this, though. Frankly, I just want to hear some of those guitar lines again. They were truly a unique mixture of guitar, bass, and drums. Every guy had a solid place in the band. Good times, kids. Also, I cracked up at the FSF/Jonas Bros comment…joke or not, it was funny. P.S. DID YOU KNOW THE JONAS BROTHERS PLAY GIBSON GUITARS OMG!!! Annnnd I’m over it.
