New You Am I !

[salivor]

Shihad, isn't that a band that attempted to make it overseas, changed their name and their sound for commercial success.Then gave up a few years later when they realised what idiots they'd been and of how little significance the international market really is.

Great example.

At least they had a go and had some success. I and the rest of the world are still wondering who this poxy sh*tty sounding Aussie band You Am I are. I couldn't even listen to that whole track posted it was so bland. I'd be embarrassed to be releasing an album with that as a single. I can only imagine how bad the rest of it gets if that's the best track on the thing.

:lol::lol::lol:

This bit deserved it's own individual response. On the contrary, if you can't make it in either the US or European markets then you aint anything.

:lol: but it has 'feeling' and great lyrically:lol:

You am I is a crappy band that remind me of the Ramones, both talentless sh*t, never had a international platinum album, atleast Ramones influenced generation of tripe, You am I cannot even do that.

You am I is percieved cool because alot of people who live in funky little places like Newtown and enmore like them, demographics that's all it is, i don't see many people in Claymore listening to You am I, however Uni students seem to love them as well as those stupid poofy neck scarfs and badges all over their f**king jackets!

I always get into arguments with Australian music morons ( who by coincidence also seem to be Ramones fans as well:roll: gotta love Rolling stones mag) at my University ( Newcastle) the dopey f**ks dont know what hit them:lol:

exactly, if you have a certan amount of appeal and can bring something new to the industry then you will be a success, it only seems to be the rejects that piss and moan about not having to mke it internationally:lol:

 

[carcharias]

Ron you should do some research into YAI.

FTR have you ever been to the US or Europe to see the absolute rednecks buying albums by the likes of VH?

I have.

Europe is hilarious....they still rate golden earing...they are still making a living from radar love.

But what is 'making it?'

As Tim Rogers, he'll tell you he is quite content with their level of success in the states.

They can go and tour, draw decent crowds to clubs and get on the bill of decent sized shows as a headliner. They've carved a nice little cult niche, as they have in parts of europe and the UK.

Not every measures success in terms of records sold.

If You Am I did, Tim Rogers would have bowed to record company pressure in the States to write more radio friendly stuff....

So did David Koresh, pitty it hasn't translated too record sales

That's what unsuccessful bands say, much like when fat people tell you that inner beauty is on the inside.

Yeah You am I are to hardcore, if they got offered a huge dollar contract in the US they'd take it, everybody would. They're failuers and full of excuses, simply, if they were that good they would be worldwide celebrities,even Missy Higgins has made inroads.

Damn, have to wait until tonight. Dont have sound on my work PC.

I'm just about to crank up in my office the Hi Fi Way bonus disc.

One of the best sounding live recordings you'll hear.

"That name again is You Am I if you give a f**k and Boston if you don't" :lol:

hey fish...question without notice regarding that disc.

Andy Kent {I think it was him} introduced a "Taz" to the audience and declaring that he'll be blowing their mind in about 20 minutes..

who was Taz..and what band was his refering too??

That show was recorded in Seattle (?) when they did a big run of shows opening for Soundgarden.

I'm not exactly sure who Andy is referring to. I have a poster from that tour at home, and I can check it tonight.

I think he is referring to Taz, who was the drummer for Reverend Horton Heat, who may have been on the bill.

Or, a reference to the singer Tad, of the seattle band of the same name who may have also been on the bill. I'll check the poster tonight - that will have the answer.


edit:

I found this poster on line, it's not from the same show, but looks like it is from the same tour which would indicate it is a reference to Taz of Reverend Horton Heat fame
