Love the GBs and like the 3 or 4 Frampton tracks and 5-6 Howard JOnes hits I know

Nobody on this forum was ever in the Gin Blossoms.

<r>I know I am not the most popular person around here (the whole kill the messenger thing). But, credit to Jives for telling the truth and not running away. Like I said, seems like apretty forgiving bunch and Jives is a pretty popular cat (I found that out when I first came here). What's more, Far ...

<t>Rapunzel, you DON'T like this thread--we got it. You dont' want to discuss Jives and the Gin Blossoms...others do. So, here's an idea. Those people will discuss that in THIS thread (see thread name). And we promise NEVER to make you read it. Now, if you CHOOSE to continue to read it and don't ...

kevaxe2k2

<t>Peace in the Garden---sounds good. 
 
 
 
As for closure--I don't think Jives will respond. It seems foolish, because 1. what if he is telling the truth? or 2. If he IS lying, most people here seem willing to forgive him. So, unless he is totally humiliated and wants to run from ...

Wait, did Far leave???

kevaxe2k2

<t>Yes, it just really bothered me how Far Rider ignored the facts I posted and REFUSED to do his own research (and find these facts for himself) and instead talked about motives, me coming here to attack Jives, etc. I didn't expect to be called a liar by ANYONE--I mean, the facts speak for itself ...

I can't get into Bruce--at ALL. Like a track here and there--but his everyman persona and his weak vocals just wear on me a bit.

Forum: Music

Topic: The Gin Blossoms and Jives

kevaxe2k2

<t>Well, they are adorable. But, I am on topic--while they bunny pictures, clearly, are NOT. Matter of fact, they are not even on topic for this forum--the music forum. So, I think it is the polite thing to do to stay on topic and ONLY discuss Jives and his past with the Gin Blossoms as he wanted ...

Yes, as opposed to posting a bunch of bunny pictures.

kevaxe2k2

Actually, it has been 14 days. He has been logging in--just not talking.

kevaxe2k2

Well, this thread has officially bottomed out--no offense, Clancy.

Sorry I ran off your friend, guys.

<t>For Squirrels: Mighty KC 
 
Anyone remember this one? From 1995? It is a tribute to Kurt Cobain (KC) but in an ironic twist, the singer, manager, and bassist of the band were killed in a car accident before their debut (and last) album was was ever released. But it is a gorgeous song--and ...

<t>Any Moz/Smiths fans?? 
 
 
 
The new album came out today--and even though I knew it by heart already I ran to the record shop and picked up my copy just as soon as I could! It is a very good record---but so far not as good as 2004's You Are The Quarry. However, when YATQ came ...

<t>Hmm, interesting. Yeah, I mean--what was it like 6 years between records when the Division Bell came out? It was never billed as a farewell album/tour..and they continued to release stuff (live album, best of, etc) but I never heard ANY talk about another album after that. Nor, did anyone say ...

kevaxe2k2

<t>Yep, I heard of Israel--a co-worker brought some of his stuff in awhile back. It was interesting. 
 
Yes, when I saw Paul in 2002 he had a ukelele George gave him and he told a story about when he went round George's the ukelele's would always come out and they would play. He then played ...

kevaxe2k2

<t>What is up with Floyd? I mean, they aren't broke up right? The concert last summer was billed as a reunion with Waters--the rest of them are still a functioning bad, right? If they indeed ARE, what have they been doing the last 12 years? The Division Bell was the first CD I EVER owned! I know ...

kevaxe2k2

FYI: Since this thread has introduced or re-introduced the band to some of you, the Gin Blossoms will release their first single from their first album in 10 years in a few weeks! Look for "Learning The Hard Way" from their self-titled third album all too soon!

kevaxe2k2

I hate Yoko..Beatles were gonna break up anyway..there were a lot of other reasons (Epstein's death, George's frustration, etc.) but without Yoko I think we could have seen at least 1 more album. :-1

What British band do you like?

kevaxe2k2

<t>Give me a break. He posted two completely different things. At the official gin blossoms forum he was a cook at the bar and knew the guys. Here, he was in the band for 6 years, wrote some of their most famous songs. The lineup and story of the band is well known for any real fan, and it did not ...

kevaxe2k2

Yes, there was no WAY he was gonna post he was in the band at our forum--because he knew he would get called out immediately. Here, he assumed he was safe I guess.

kevaxe2k2

<t>Everything I posted can easily be found with a little reasearch on the internet. Research he SHOULD have done before he posted his little story with holes all over the place. They are FACTS.
