SSJ TRUNKS 18 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 I was just wondering if anyone has heard of Yellow Card and what they thought of them. I dont know anyone else thats heard of em.
Semjaza Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 My friend keeps sending me their stuff over AIM. I don't know why, but he does. I gave it a fair chance. I wasn't exactly impressed. He keeps going on and on about the guitars, but it's pretty standard stuff. The vocals and everything else just makes them sound like every other band of their type out there right now. That's my opinion anyway.
Dan Rugh Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 I like Yellowcard! The violins in their songs sounded weird to me at first, but now I'm really likin' it. My favorite songs by them from the newest CD are [i]Miles Apart, Ocean Avenue, Only One[/i] and [i]Breathing[/i]. They were just in State College a few weeks ago, but I didn't go.
SSJ TRUNKS 18 Posted October 16, 2003 Author Posted October 16, 2003 I think they're pretty good too. The violins give it a different sound. The only song I've heard from them is Way Away so I can't be sure that they are good. From what I have heard they are awsome though.
Dan Rugh Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 *falls* You mean you made a thread about the band and you've only heard one song? There's definitely a loss of credibility going on here...... Get the latest CD. If you like [i]Way Away[/i], you'll probably also enjoy most of the songs on "Ocean Avenue". The only one I can truely say that I can't listen to is [i]View From Heaven[/i] because the violin is so prevalent at the beginning you'd think it was a country how-down. lol *falls again*
Kaola Su Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Haha, yeah Yellowcard is really good from what I have heard! I think I have only heard like 4 songs tho but they would be someone I would d/l to get their cd's...since all I do usually is d/l them, but lately I havent been able to d/l much b/c of how slow my comp. is but they are for sure someone to check out more of! You can't just listen to one or 2 songs and then judge them. At least give it 3! But I have to say they really are very good and I agree with Dan totally on this one...as I usually do with music! LOL! Love, Kaola Su
SSJ TRUNKS 18 Posted October 16, 2003 Author Posted October 16, 2003 I guess your right. Sry about the stupid topic. It's been a few months since I been here so i gotta get back in the swing of things.
Kaola Su Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Hey, that is cool, it wasn't stupid, you were just asking about them! Well, it has been a while for me too but as far as I can tell you didn't break any rules or anything! Love, Kaola Su
SSJ TRUNKS 18 Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 Ya. I try to follow the rules as often as possible. I guess what I wanted to know was what people's opinions were of Yellow Card and if they are worth listening to more.
Dan Rugh Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Putting you down was not my intention for my last post. I just thought it was kinda funny. They are definitely worth checking into more heavily than you already have. Hahaha!
SSJ TRUNKS 18 Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 LOL dont worry about it. You made me realize what I really wanted to say. It's cool.
Max Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 I realy like yellowcard. I have turned most of my friends on to it too. My favorite song is october nights and way away. I think the violin adds something that other bands dont have. It is a good band and i only wish more people have heard of it.
Epid3mic Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 I'm with Semjaza on this. They are none too original, sound pretty much the same as most other post-punk/emo clones out there :/ What's the big deal about the violins? There are tons of rock bands that integrate more than the traditional 3 instruments into their music. Check out some Ska.
SSJ TRUNKS 18 Posted October 20, 2003 Author Posted October 20, 2003 I think I've heard some Ske before. Name some well known artists or bands. Emo is popular around my city.
