I also have a shit load of equipment, and a good hook up for merch

BDx13 - 2-20-2006 at 09:29 PM

i can't remember from the show... was your bass player the guy that went outside and played from the street during the set? or was that the guitarist?

no i didnt quit. im assuming this is a tactic, considering he posted this on another board he knew someone would tell me about.

geoff, you've barely talked to anybody since the starkweather show.

i got stabbed in the back of the head with a broken bottle that night and you didnt even write an email to see if i was all right.

the dude who stabbed me wrote to one of yr friends, and you didnt even tell me about that, i found that out through jesse today.

i run into jesse's bro at an after hours bar and find out from him that we're playing a show in couple weeks?

you sent me an email telling me to call you saturday? who does that?
why didnt you just call me. or is that too easy. im not playing yr games man, this is litte girl shit.

if you ever spoke to me you would know i was working on saturday.

now yr gonna replace me cause i didnt rush to call you after three months of you being too busy, too busy to practice, except to post on various boards,
whats been paying for that unused practice space? band money?

i hope this is a tactic, do you really think jesse is gonna play in a band with sweet tits?

it aint on me to call you. and this has crossed the line.

the band isnt replacable ive written a lot of those songs on those albums and jesse wrote the other half.

as far as anyone else on this board is concerned, i've appreciated all the kind words i've read. thanks.

gavin - 2-21-2006 at 12:36 PM

you''re funny mark
seriously

gavin - 2-21-2006 at 12:54 PM

man re-reading that
god damn
what a drama queen you are
i had no idea
jesus

oh ive been paying for the space mark
cuz like everything else in this band, it fall on me to take care of it

theres nothing dramatic about what i wrote, just shock that some dude who's called you a friend for ten+ years would do some sneaky shit rather than man up and just call and ask if i even knew about the shows and if i was down with it.

i dont know that dude who owns the space, how would i get money to him, obviously only through you.

you can't pay rent without asking us and then say it wouldnt have been paid, thats passive aggressive behavior like everything else you do .

talking to yr friend stacy and asking to be put on a show at the same club over and over again isnt TCB, its a safe-in. its what working cover bands do. same gig different night.

who are we supposed to be confronting with attitude if its are same fucking friends every show?

i had a long talk with jesse yesterday. dude everything that kept this band going has been you?

did you write any those fucking songs? you wrote words. and yelled them over top. saying im gonna this two times.

easy right? punk rock?, just wait til you write with whatever local knob you get.

any fucking show that was chaotic or something to talk about has always been either me or jesse.

i even saw you say some shit on here about how you stormed off the stage cause jesse pissed you off. after that one show

actually i threw my bass and walked off after two songs, you were still standing by the drums waiting.
is that important? no but it shows how the only thing important to you is recreating reality to serve yr narcissism

remember what else you said after that show, "as far as im concerned the band is you and me"
im sure you're not going to say that shit to him now.

no ones saying you didnt get the larry hook-up or shit like that which led to our albums but dont fucking downplay me , with the "its my band, i do everything" schpiele

whatever, i dont need strangers to believe my side. i'll let you go back to yr non-dramatic life of posting hearsay on messageboards and getting people to like you. but with attitude.

you let me down man.

gavin - 2-21-2006 at 01:49 PM

ummmm mark
the phone works both ways

IM supposed to call you to get money from you?
come on man

theres this thing about being an adult
its not MY responsibility to call you to get money from you on something you know we owe

you honestly think you guys could have kept this band going as long as it has without me?

i NEVER once downplayed what you do in this band
nor did i have a bad word to speak about you

see, thats how you work
you get all defensive and lash out
i dont do that anymore
i grew up

who got us the last bunch of practice spaces?
who gets us any shows we do?(i dont see you jumping in to book anywhere else besides the khyber)
ahh fusk it
im not gonna sit here and list what ive done for ALL of us
not just me
if you dont know or appreciate it, then cool

and by the way, i like playing the khyber
i aint looking to be in some "BIG" band
maybe thats the difference between us

and you my friend also let me down
so we are even

who got someone to do the web site for us after years of you saying you were gonna do it?

im not looking to fight with you mark
this is stupid
but if you are the one who had the problem, maybe its YOU who should have "maned up" and called me

you aint the only one with shit going on in their lives friend

doyle1 - 2-21-2006 at 02:56 PM

yr missing the point no one in the band had heard from you in months? did we go and post on messagebords looking for a singer.

i didnt reply to a fucking myspace message telling me to call you? and you billboard all over yr looking to replace me the next day?
i cant check that gay site at my work cause its restricted.

everything is irrelevant but for this point. i cant fuck with this kinda disrespect.

pat has told me, he repeatedly called you with no answer. J too.
its on you to explain yrself not on us to call and call.

you wrote that message b/c you had something to say to me? but yet i gotta call you up? its silly.

the phone bs would be dumb par for the course if it wasnt for the bullshit bass player posts.

you played a game and it backfired. i'm not a fucking pawn in yr life.

i would much rather do this not on a board but my work mail is not private and i already lost my cool on it once today.

gavin - 2-21-2006 at 03:13 PM

then meet me tomorrow night mark
i cant tonight
its xaviers birthday
meet up with me

pat did try to call me
a bunch of times
jesse did not
and you did not

why is all the weight on me to make the calls?

i only posted that shit cuz i didnt hear back from you
nothing backfired on me

stop playing the victim for 2 secnonds of your life mark
the world aint against you, as i have told you in the past

gavin - 2-21-2006 at 03:21 PM

and i never got a myspace message from you

i tried to email you a bunch of times in the last week
you didnt get back to me
what was i supposed to think?
naturally i assumed you didnt want to play with me anymore

i didnt say anything bad about you on that site or on this one

unlike you , i dont go into attack mode right away

but now you are pushing it

you wanna meet up with me tomorrow night?
lets have it

BDx13 - 2-21-2006 at 03:48 PM

gentlemen,

please take some time to talk either in person or on the phone as soon as you can. i doubt an exchange on a public messageboard will prove very fruitful.

or at the very least, channel some of this emotion into some song writing. your many fans here on the thorp board are anxious for some new material.

love,
-the big guy-

doyle1 - 2-21-2006 at 03:59 PM

are you asking me to fight?

b/c if you are you know where i live.

if you asking to talk things out i gotta nothing to say beyond this.

did you ask me if i had to film or was gonna be in town on the 18th? did you ask anyone?

no you didnt b/c at the end of the day it doesnt matter to you, its at yr convenience.

.
youre not burdened with the heavy load, yr a control freak, you like to be the only dude in the know about anythinh me and jesse know if we book a show you wont agree to it.
its happened. i told you i wanted to play the clockcleaner show and you go and cancelled it.

its fine do want you want but you cant hi-jack my life with it.

the whole i want to be in a big band is a fucking joke? who plays in a hardcore punk 86 style band to make it?

all i have ever said is if we aint gonna tour then we gotta record an album a year at least. everyone agreed and then we didnt practice for months.

the whole point about rent is it doesnt matter if rent is paid or not if we dont even use the fucking space.

but are you really gonna tell me its easier for you to pay it all with yr kids and expenses then to call me and have me go the five blocks to bring money to yr house?

but who cares about me, if i dont call you back within yr couple day time limit im replaceable.

did you really think you would find some cool bass dude on a hiphopgraffitte/hippybeard indie band type message board?

you still never answered anything about it.

you wrote me off like i was a nobody b/c i didnt get back to you on time, from some 17 yr old dating site.

im done im out, i got nothin to say.

you got four weeks to find/teach a new bass dude because you couldnt wait three days to hear form me.

gavin - 2-21-2006 at 04:22 PM

fight you?
god you are a little kid
jesus

dont worry mark
replacement found

have a nice life kiddo
i wish you no ill will

gavin - 2-21-2006 at 04:24 PM

oh and i talked to jesse and pat
jesses story is a little different from yours

anyway, thats it

i wish you well mark
i really do
in all seriousness

I take great offense at this comment. I may have a beard, but I'm no hip-hopper/graffiti kid/hippie/indie music freak. I'm a good old-fashioned white trash skinhead.

upyerbum - 2-21-2006 at 08:23 PM

How did he know I had a beard?

doyle - 2-21-2006 at 08:29 PM

not here, on some other philly hipster board. he posted the same thing

i hope yr new bass player knows that he better reply to yr myspace messages in a timely fashion or yr gonna write multiple nasty threads about replacing him so he can find out second hand.

gavin - 2-21-2006 at 08:43 PM

that wasnt the only email i sent you mark
i sent about 10
i have them all still

ive been trying to contact you for the past 2 weeks

and i never wrote anything nasty about you nor would i
thats your way, not mine

DAK - 2-21-2006 at 08:52 PM

I feel like I'm eavesdropping.

JawnDiablo - 2-21-2006 at 09:48 PM

errr yeah
but hope you can work all the shit out, cause its a good band ya got there
crappy
im outa here
JD

Voodoobillyman - 2-22-2006 at 09:32 AM

I guess this is a bad time to check and see if BadVibes made it to the post office with my package???? jokes niggah............dems jokes!

doyle - 2-22-2006 at 01:45 PM

you didnt write me 10 e-mails, not ten e-mails i received anyway. and yr gonna say this tactic isnt nasty?

and if you did, with all the glitches and multiple e-mail accou8nts i have, if i sent you ten e-mails i would've called you to see if maybe yr internet was fucked.

point is i remember yr aol being fucked and i called you and found out.

i work at a high security job now, i cant check any web-based e-mails at work. i told you that before.

even if you had just posted on a messageboard hey doyle you out there, b/c you have some problem with calling me, that would have been enough. or called jesse to get my number.

even we hadnt talked in months how would i have known to check for an important e-mail

you finally wrote to me on my work e-mail on presidents day when i was off. so first contact was tuesday, yesterday and here we are.

i wasnt thinking about anything nor avoiding you

but you got mad and posted some disrespectful shit in a public forum rather than calling my phone, my cell which i told you before i have with me 24/7

why didnt you just post that my girlfriend was looking for a new man, that would have worked just the same as this tactic.

it's lame. and not how "adults" get things done.

i like my songs all of them, but im not gonna be played on some bullshit mindgame tip like im some idiot dork you hired to play in yr band.

im an original member and wrote the majority of our songs over the history of the band. i even designed our logo,
and was firend with you and jesse since high school.

we're all about 30 and you played this game the one in this thread and who knows on how many other boards, because you didnt hear back from me for a week?

i dont get any money from this band, i dont get new friendships out of it, nor praise in my daily dealings.

the only reason i did it was as an outlet with my friends.

and you guys are all selling me out.

one show and yr preferred mode of communication is more important than loyalty to you, yr all business.

you can spin it to people all you want the above is the absoulute truth.

gavin - 2-22-2006 at 01:54 PM

again mark
the world is not against you like you choose to believe

the phone works both ways mark
i could say the same things you have been saying about me to you about all that

all i said in any of those threads was "who plays bass?"
im covering my bases mark
i didnt hear from you, i figured you were mad about something and didnt want to play anymore

and you are right
it wasnt 10 emails
i rechecked
it was 7

im not spinning anything mark
im not mad at you
you are the one who is keeping this going
not me

you could have gotten on the phone with me as easily as i could have with you

at least take PART of the blame in that

christ, its not always you against the world mark
ive told you that in the past

oh yeah i forgot i am a paranoid delusional.

i know you dont have anything against me. yr just playing games with people.

listen to logic, its irrefutable, why would i call you, if yr the one who had something to tell me?

let me say that again
why would i call you if YOU had something to tell ME?

im not a fucking psychic.

if i needed my girl to pick up something from the store, i wouldnt be pissed at her because she didnt call me to ask if i needed something from the store.

i wouldnt post a billboard next to our house saying new girlfriend wanted.

i doesnt matter how many emails you send if i dont GET them. yr still under the delusion that i got all yr e-mails and ignored you. who's paranoid? a week and a half geoff?

seven emails means you had something to say to me, but
it wasnt important enough to call.

i know yr smart enough to see this side of it. but instead of admitting you did a shitty thing. you want to paint me as crazy.

i work on a compressed schedule (11 hour days) and am working on two feature films, how is this the world is against me? because you couldnt handle me not writing you back from yr frantic seven emails to who knows where?

some dude tried to fire me as an editor once b/c i didnt get a business issue from my myspace account email.

dude was pissed and thought what yr saying now.

i told him what ill tell you now, myspace is not a place for doing fucking business. its a place for teenage girls to show off their tits.
i wrote you back as soon as i got my work e-mail but it was too late. you had my work e-mail since last year. and only used it after you posted this shit.

you cant even admit it. yr pride wont let you admit yr wrong.

why are telling me "good luck"?

you know i dont need it.
out of 21 songs on two albums 14 were completely written by me, 4 were jesse and me both, and the other three were jesse's.

deciding if the bass plays first or guitar starts the song isnt writing.

hope you can understand what i wrote.

yr delusional if you think i didnt help create "our" sound and i need you or this band so much ill get ridiculed by you.
its not a matter that i care what people think, its a matter that you do.

good luck to you with yr power games and yr cover band.

i'll guess ill just hafta find some dude who will yell over my songs and wont play pissed off internet tag like a high school girl.

i gotta get back to work.

gavin - 2-22-2006 at 04:28 PM

you're boring mark
seriously

im over it
have been since yesterday

good luck again

gavin - 2-22-2006 at 04:46 PM

ahhhh nevermind

im over this
have a good life mark
i wish you well
