Every Time I Die Band • Page 121

Yes, yes we do.

 

I had forgotten how great that theme song is!

 

Ordered one of those limited run wrestling shirts (the Bruiser Brody one to be specific) they put up a few weeks ago and completely forgot about it. It finally came today and it's pretty sweet.

 

It isn't my favorite, but sometimes Ex Lives is the only album of theirs I want to hear. There's something really dark and aggressive about it that none of the other albums don't have.

Love it.

 

Ex Lives is a weird one because it's definitely one that gets overlooked but then random stuff springs up from it, like sometimes I'll just get Underwater Bimbos stuck in my head and then I grew an insane appreciation for Indian Giver after basically singing the end next to Keith onstage at the boat show last year

 

Holy Book of Dilemma is one of their best songs.

 

I'm pretty sure that Idiot is their best song.

 

Saturnalia fucking slaps, too

 

Ex Lives is the album that pulled me back in to ETID. I kind of fell out of interest with heavy music in general around the time New Junk came out, and that album has never really hooked me, even going back now. But Ex Lives straight rips.

The production isn't stellar, but there are so many good tracks. Bimbos is obviously a classic, and Holy Book, Typical Miracle, I Suck, Partying, and Drag King are great. Revival Mode's "I should have learned a more noble craft" section is one of my all-time favorites. Starve an Artist is even one of the better bonus tracks.

Plus, without Indian Giver, there's a chance we never get the other Drop-A songs (Moor, Fear & Trembling, Awful Lot, Nothing Visible).

 

If I had to choose Russian Soldier is tops

 

Ex Lives is the album that got me into ETID

I knew Wanderlust from music tv but that album fucking tore it up

 

That was the best

 

"yea man it was really tough drowning in a river and dying. Thanks for having me on your show."

 

I loved that

 

Someone want to explain to me what I just saw ?

 

On but off topic, Nekrogoblikon is one of my favorite acts out there right now. Total recommend.

 

I watched a nekrogoblikon music video once and it was a pure ride

 

Thought this was a nice summation the other day of one of the reasons why I love this band.

 

This mindset is part of why this band is as successful, and as well-known as they are. They are never going to be appreciated enough.

 

Just came back from Warped Tour, which I went primarily for them, and god damn was it worth it. About 40 minutes before they performed I headed down to the stage they were gonna be at, but went the way of their merch booth because it was right down from it. Jordan happened to be manning at the time! I chilled and talked with him for a bit since nobody else was around, he told me it was Andy's day for the setlist, he was gonna do one of the mounted camera videos but the internet was so shitty there he couldn't (it really was shitty), and we talked about his prints and stuff. Time came for the show so we parted ways and I went to find a spot. Ended up lucking out because basically everyone left after the band before, Crown the Empire, so I got a spot right at the gate to the left side. They were great obviously, I had a fantastic spot for it, I got to see Champing at the Bit live which I was so happy for.

Afterwards they did a meet and greet and I got a picture with them! Also I asked Keith if they were taking a break anytime soon because it seems they tour nonstop, and he said yea they would soon-ish and thanked me for thinking of them in that way.

Another note, it's so funny to see the bands at Warped that let their technicians do all the work and setup/breakdown for shows and then everyone in ETID fully helps and gets ready on stage and everything. Such good people.

 

Let the speculation begin!

 

My buddy told me they have a date confirmed at the usual club they play at here for fall/early winter.

 

They usually do a fall tour and end with the holiday shows.

 

I’m willing to bet Vein is an opener.
