surfjunkie Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 hmmm... not sure, but there's a band called Sum41 that's kind of a cross between bboys & green day. i like 'em. i tried singing to myself the song sections you mentioned, and it kind of sounds like one of their tunes.

That was too easy I suppose...

Since Dryden's (AAF's lead singer) has been dating my daughter for the past two years, I know pretty much all the W.T. stories... and you're correct about some problems between certain people. AAF wasn't the problem from what I've heard, although I'm sure some others would disagree with that. FWIW, they ARE pretty darn good live, and while you may think they're pretty good, but more for the "15 year old girl" crowd, I can tell you (since I've known them for years) that at least they're honest about what they do... they like their style and they want it to be more melodic than some of the harder edged stuff out there. That was the band's style from the start - they are definitely NOT just some label "creation".

- Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 I haven't heard the band in question, but I have a theory that modern rock bands with a number in their name are almost always so-so from a musical standpoint... :eek: :eek: :eek: [ 10-28-2001: Message edited by: popmusic ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzz Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 hey phil....aaf was good live.....i was surprized. they had a good "shtick" going with the lead singer calling all the fans his freinds.....it was a very cute and positive thing to do. sum41 where very "punk" the lead singer looks like he is 12 and swears like a sailor....and they wheren't bad either... the most rocking band on the tour was the rollins band....the drummer and bass player where like a machine while the guitar player shreaded some very tasty blues/old school rock licks that just kicked...very refreshing to see and hear imho.

Philip OKeefe Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Dryden's certainly capable of swearing like a sailor AFTER a show - especially if he's had a few to drink, but they don't swear much (or at all) in their songs or onstage. They never have, which I find refreshing in this oftentimes overly "potty mouthed" world. And as far as their shtick, what you see live is pretty much just Dryden's personality. He's semi geeky in real life too! :D He's a really nice kid though. If my kid has to be dating a "rock star", I could think of much worse.
