Slowly Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 A year ago today was the club burning where Great White was playing. Remember? Kcbass "Let It Be!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Can't forget. One always looks for a proverbial Phoenix to rise from the ashes of things like this...better fire codes, smarter club owners, smarter bands... Will it happen? I doubt it.

fantasticsound Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I was wondering what a "tradegy" was. Sad, sad situation. Eminently preventable, too. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salyphus Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Think anyone will go see them on their latest tour? Or is it 'once burned, twice shy'? Sorry for the bad joke, I hope the bastards responsible have met with justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanmass Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I thought you were referring to their debut album... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasticsound Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 My wife read in the paper that they were going on tour again... except half the band quit. I understand they deserve to make a living, but I agree with those that left the band. Not smart to tour, methinks. And before anyone cites The Who concert where several audience members were killed, I should point out that general seating (Which was the reason folks died. No assigned seats for much of the audience sent people running as fast as they could to get the best seats.) had nothing to do with the band. That was a management/venue decision. Even in the best scenario for the band, it was their employee who set the fire due to the pyro. Besides, Great White didn't exactly have the status of The Who at those points in each bands' career.

Salyphus Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Would you believe that these untalented, murderous assholes actually have the audacity to capiltalize on this tragedy for their own selfish gain???? http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0001BS4QA.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg I'm pretty fucking speechless here The above is a real album cover, but I won't link to the amazon page because I don't want to give these lowlifes any extra publicity.

Mats Olsson. Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Oooo, bad karma! Is that a new album? If it is, then they deserve the worst of luck. Unless it is a in memoriam kind of non-profit charity thing. /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

Salyphus Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Mats, there is no way that 'Burning House of Love' could ever possibly be construed as in memoriam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Olsson. Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I guess you are right. I really can't see how a title like that would give them any kind of positive reactions, anywhere. Give them the tar & feather treatment! http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

Bob Keelan Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 FWIW I don't think the band had anything to do with this release. I read something about this the other day. I'll dig around and see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

songrytr Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Well...they've still got a lot of nerve to cover that song. Who would want to hear a bunch of old has-beens covering a cool X song??? this house is empty now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salyphus Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Thanks for posting that, Bob. Looks like they are denying any connection with this release. Though it could be possible that this is just another facet of a 'publicity stunt'---nothing surprises me anymore, unfortunately. They are still untalented, murderous assholes either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
