| ____________________________________________ [Sep 10,2007 9:20pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I just reposted from their myspace bulletin. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 12:30am - fishcakes ""] someone do this shit! |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 7:07am - nick // dys ""] I think we are gonna give Blue a shot since he is leaving Unholy Trinity..To answer prior question..we practice mostly in Waltham. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 9:49am - thegreatspaldino ""] yeah, somebody step up so you can practice once every other month or so. wanna know specifics? i was getting told that they were getting a practice space and that it was going to be 100 bucks a month for us. (100 / 4 = 25, no big deal) then a week before this supposed practice space i was told that its 200 a month and i need to get 50 bucks or im out. but now i read "we practice mostly in waltham" and i dont know what to think. i live like 8 houses away from where dysentery "practices". i dont have a job, oh well. my gear is at someone else's house that i cant get a fucking hold of, and even then its just the head. i have a cab and everything else at my house. i have a car that needs a battery and a tire. big whoop. battery is free and i have a tire. so i have a car. i have an incredibly professional attitude about what the band should be doing and playing shows with barely over 10 minutes of material and with barely practicing isnt one of the ideas. i've been in a few bands, a couple with deals and i have seen and talked with countless others that are in bigger bands or that have been "around the block". why would i feel comfortable contributing financially to something like that? maybe if there were like more than 12 practices under our belts and we had more songs i wouldnt have any sort of doubts as to what is going on. the music is brutal, the dudes are cool, but seriously you need to get writing and practicing more before you go out and spend money on anything. i love will a crap ton and i hope he doesnt think im talking shit because im not. the demeanor in which myspace bulletin came off was lame. no one else but will talked to me about any of this and its wicked cool when i get him telling me "im trying my best to stick up for you...". why not talk to me about any of this? why bring up false flags with "has other things on his plate, namely his other band "the new underground", a self proclaimed folk, indie punk band..."? if you arent going to get into specifics, why even mention that? why mention the band genre in that manner? absolutely no need for that. its as if you disagree with the genre and act like its a joke or something... that band practiced more in a month than dysentery pretty much has since last october (and thats mainly due to nick or eric canceling last minute, not shit talk, just facts)... im not saying that im right and they are wrong. again i dont have a job thats pretty much the problem. but whatever, if thats how something like this is going to be handled then i dont really want a part of it anyway. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 10:03am - Joshtruction ""] This pretty much sucks. I know the feelings going on right now. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 10:21am - nick // dys ""] i'd just like to mention at all practices we have had--you have either been absent or you arrived with, of all things your bow and arrow and and or your fretless bass...but no amp and no head. sure i have cancelled practice before, but its because i have bills to pay, i therefore have to work; we cant practice at eric's at an hour of the eve, henceforth, this is where the concept of a practice space works its way into things as a logical decision. to turn start grandstanding and turning this around on me adam, and to say that this band is not worth investing 'your" time and or money because of a lack of material / commitment is a rather telling response by you and it is my case and point: you are an irresonsible dood who just doesnt have his shit together right now, and your not willing to own up on it. dont get offended, just acknowledge it and move on. everyone in the band spoke about the practice space in allston and agreed, including you, that this is where we need to go from here in order to be successful and hopefully move to the next level. I gave my word to those who offered the space to us (and gave us preference over pillory) that WE would have the money. BUT in the final hour you flaked..thereby, making me look like an asshole and putting someone else further into a potentially difficult financial situation...sure you used to be in tyag, and you are, an original member of dysentery, but why does that make your time and money any more special than mine...you couldnt even pony up 50 bucks?! |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 10:40am - thegreatspaldino ""] you told me to show up with my bow, only reason i brought it. i dont have 50 bucks. i showed up with my bass and played along even if i didnt have an amp and ive been calling up that dude that has my head everyday. i was absent twice, mainly because i was sleeping. i dont have "it together" and i acknowledged that. i said i dont feel like contributing money that i have to come up with somehow for 5 2 minute songs worth of material to show for it. i always mentioned not playing so many shows and looking so far ahead into the future and just sitting back and writing and practicing. but of course no one wanted to listen. i agreed on 100 a month, which was what i was told. i was then told it was double that, something i didnt agree on. i never said anyone is more special than anyone else. i think i mentioned 3 times that i dont have a job and that is the major issue, but again i wouldnt want to contribute 50 bucks a month to practice like 3 times in that month. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 10:53am - nick // dys ""] your still not understanding one simple thing: a practice space facilitates more practicing: we can practice at any hour, (and temperature: as winter looms we cant just roll eric's dad's motor cycle out into the snow.) and considering that everyone would have to pay for it, it was symbolic of our commitment, it meant we were invested in this...it makes sense to go...because you pay for it...you pay for it because you believe in the music and enjoy playing it, which you claim to. i mean, are you as likely to sleep through practice when your paying your, 'hard earned' money for it? I wrote all 4 songs, the 5th was written as an collab. at practice by eric, will and i....where were you? i think at your other bands practice..if its is so imperitive that we have 'X' amount of material by such and such a time..why did i never get the chance to hear any of your contribution to riffage? |
| ________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 11:30am - jesus ""] yeah, this is the PERFECT place for this discussion guys. try actually talking to each other next time |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 11:39am - nick // dys ""] fair enough. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 12:07pm - Sleeping Death ""] Dont ruin the fun you dickhead! |
| ________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 12:19pm - jesus ""] normally id agree, but not when it involves dysentery |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 2:06pm - Sleeping Death ""] Then your not really jesus. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 4:56pm - thegreatspaldino ""] nick // dys said:the 5th was written as an collab. at practice by eric, will and i....where were you? i think at your other bands practice.. keep in mind that i joined that other band the 16th of july, well after the creation of the 5th song, a day before that terrible show in Lexington, the 17th (where we played that song). infact, the 5th song was written in late May/early June as that terrible show in Camp lyons was June 8th and you and eric decided to play that at the end of the set. wanna know where i was? most likely (i.e most DEFINITELY) in fucking Michigan helping my mom move and i didnt get back until the night before the show the 8th, Will can attest to that as he picked me up at the train station that night. kind of hard to collaborate when im 800 miles away. infact i had my gf make that post about the interview i did on my name the 31st as i was on the road. you can try to make ridiculous claims all you want, but without a proper factual backbone, you will fail. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:03pm - nick // dys ""] minutia / semantics --dont bother trying to save face. you are what you are. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:06pm - thegreatspaldino ""] hahaha |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:10pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I probably shouldn't have posted this. Sorry guys. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:11pm - nick // dys ""] i officially quit dysentery. im seriously to old for this shit..enjoy. best of luck. i dont dislike you adam, i just think your a flake. cheers... |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:12pm - thegreatspaldino ""] nick // dys said: i officially quit dysentery. im seriously to old for this shit..enjoy. best of luck. i dont dislike you adam, i just think your a flake. cheers... ... and im the flake? WOW. |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:21pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] RTTP history, folks. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:22pm - nick // dys ""] i cant co-exist with you..if you're not gonna go...and just own up to your short comings, i am forced to leave. its not a matter of 'flaking' in the true sense ie: having zero drive to have a job, not having a job, 'no money', a car but one that doesnt work- apparently because you wont get off your ass and fix it etc. its hilarious to me the elitest attitude you take, scoffing at me, like your the fucking man...i think its worth mentioning that i had no intent on bringing this to rttp...but circumstances being...fuck it. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:31pm - thegreatspaldino ""] all i was doing was voicing my opinion on the horrible add placed in the search of a new bassist. it was in bad taste the way it came off and just made me look like a douche bag instead of just a lazy bastard like i really am. saying other things like "you came to practice with your bow and or bass" like i wasnt there playing along with it and thought it was a joke was also in poor taste as it was not factual. also with the "where were you on the 5th song collab" thing, that was also a grossly incorrect claim. again, i defended myself by researching the actual truth. im not trying to stay in and have you booted or anything, its just that i cant stand when people say things that arent true and have no proof as to the validity of the claims. (again for the record, nick told me bring my bow, i hadnt even thought about doing so) |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:38pm - nick // dys ""] your feeling like a douche bag was part of the plan. after all you're still forgetting the fact that you made me look like an incredible asshole when i couldnt come up with the money for the practice space. i gave someone my word, which means everything--i had to go back on my word cause as i now understand it, we dont have enough material to suit your preference and because you find there to be an enormous distinction between 25 dollars and fifty...:HUMP: |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:38pm - thegreatspaldino ""] also i mentioned several times that i had no job and that is the main problem. please re-read everything. there is no elitist attitude here. im sorry that stating facts and defending myself instead of just sitting there and letting one's unwarranted false slander go unchallenged is "elitist" but i'm not going to let fiction dictate how people perceive me. i will be the first to let people know im lazy. that was never on debate. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:42pm - nick // dys ""] yes, yes, adam...these facts...a bit of revisionist history perhaps? |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:43pm - thegreatspaldino ""] 25 bucks and 50 bucks is a huge difference when it means whether or not i eat in near future. as much as it would seem that i get fed at home and have all the help in the world in being lazy, i dont. there's a reason i dropped about 40 pounds since march without exercise... 25 bucks lets me eat for about a week and half. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 11,2007 5:49pm - nick // dys ""] i think "near future" are the operative terms to examine bud..and the ironic side of this all is that unlike you, I DONT LIVE with my parents...thus i work to pay my bills, my rent and my food (i dont make much) which makes it that much harder for me to fit DYSENTERY into MY budget, the way i felt was fuck it, there are worthwhile sacrifices to be made for something bigger. this is the major difference between the type of person you and i are, and what derails your major point...aside from "facts" being right. |

We dont suck..thats an ironic and potentially funny response BUT irony is overated, and anyone who has heard the new shit knows that it IS good..The old shit is great as well for that matter. I aint leaving--we have collectively decided to get rid of dead weight. I am sorry for the airing of dirty laundry--i got overheated by a fucking troglodyte. Shoulda weighed it out and kept my mouth shut..prob should even now. Eric, Will and I have hashed things out and everything is copacetic. The aforementioned vacancy is being filled. I shoulda kept my mouth shut about all this but i make no apologies--by the same token wont keep my mouth shut when i say, we wrote another song today and had a great practice...nothing like some inspiration.
