Eve 6

Same

Add alcohol

It's pretty fragmentary for me too (and yeah, I didn't touch any of that stuff until later)

here's to the nights we can't recall

so he keeps clowning on third eye blind, vertical horizon, jimmy eat world, and other "alt rock" radio staple bands of the late-90s and 00s. it's funny, but also seems bleak, like, if i was the lead singer of the "heart in a blender" song i wouldn't want to hold up that era to ridicule, doing so would present a major threat to my ego, i'd imagine.

i guess he wants to forget himself and embrace the future, which, you know, might be an act of bravery, might be foolhardy, like what's so great about the present anyway

the foo fighters is way better than eve6 but theyre still fucking terrible

this, however, is a good tweet. he just needs to find the line and stay at the line.

This guy has been tweeting every 5 minutes for how many days now?

well, at least he's not wrong about the foo fighters. they suck.

the foos mostly suck but they have way more jams than any of the bands mentioned itt

One of my neighbors circa 2001 got signed to Creed’s sub-label based on the strength of his band’s Vertical Horizon cover.

It was buttrock inception.

Foos first two albs are classic fuiud

Wasting Light

err wrong tags lol

It’s like being stuck at a wedding table with guys reminiscing about their crazy frat pranks

Yeah I hate this but I can’t stop checking in

“After the Third Eye Blind guy told me he fucked my girlfriend he told me I was ‘a wordsmith like Jim Morrison,'” Collins recently tweeted, to which Jenkins responded, “Clearly this never happened as everyone knows you write like Stevie Nicks.”

Ok, shitty 3rd Eye Blind guy getting another opportunity to embarrass himself is pretty good

isn't that a compliment?

first Foo Fighters record is a good time

Otm. I still jam that one. Killer tour too

Was only my 2nd rock show ever

"hey yer kinda like jim morrison" <——them's fightin` words in my book

I liked the first foo fighters album. saw them support the prodigy in 1997 when I was 13, loved it.

don't think eve 6 cracked the uk, have only heard the heart in a blender since moving to Canada iirc

foo fighters were an amazing singles band up to a point imo. first three records are generally good

There Is Nothing Left to Lose is fantastic and I want Paramore to cover it front to back.

wow otm

Saw the Foo Fighters at the end of their debut album tour cycle, with Ween and Jawbreaker opening — quite a mid-90s combo. I’d been lucky enough to see Nirvana so it was an interesting compare/contrast. Also Dave still looked like his Nirvana self, the haircut and facial hair soon followed.

don’t like the foos except I love “big me”

that song/video + Shannon hoon at Woodstock 94 represent some kind of end point of u.s. alternative nation or something

Big Me is a decent Teenage Fanclub impersonation

I was interning @ CMJ when their first single (“This Is a Call”) came in from the label... I remember the editors huddling around and playing it loudly, discussing the lyrics, etc.

i’ve been learning to play “this is a call” on the drums and it is... so fun

first time I heard it was the MIDI version which I still think is better than the actual tune

I guess the “standard tuning” tweet is clever

I didn't get this one. Was there some kind of move towards alternate tunings among popular rock bands in the early 00s? I didn't notice.

drop D i think

that would be late 90s though

that tweet made me think of how the goo goo dolls wrote a lot of songs in alt tunings

Iris is also late 90s

sorry I have post this anytime someone mentions iris

Name was in a ridiculous tuning!

i think the tweet was a reference to nu metal bands that played 7-string guitars in drop tunings

Days of the New - Touch, Peel, and Stand is the sound I imagine

Nu-metal laughs at your puny Drop D

Or Creed - Higher

Drop D made a lotta burned out JNCO wearers think they could play guitar for a minute
