"All I know is that they 'picked on' a real good friend of mine who is like the most nicest guy ever and really loved their band, just cause he was like 'not cool' looking."

Poor Chris. 91 posts and 75 are about QOTSA, etc. Chris is in the middle of a move from house to house. I imagine his computer is down until he moves in. Once it's up, I'm sure he'll be glad to trade or sell posters.

dustin wallace :

shit, the last thing i'm going to do is worry about there being enough. i just hope the van can hold all that shit. i do think it's funny that you went from not wanting any of them, to wanting one set, to two. fuckin' collectors, man...

rockologist :

a really ugly poster on chipboard i did last time they were here, and i also got a great clay statue of a priest on his knees ,smiling and praying at an altar-thingie, and when you lift the thingie, he's screwing some girl.

Free the Man's Ruin catalog!!! We NEED the heavy sound....

2002-07-09 15:10:01

MaximumFluoride :

You put out Acid King. thats pretty fuckin heavy.

2002-07-09 15:09:32

kozik :

I hate to say it be we started like several new genres. weird. I dont know whether to be proud or not. I was just looking for like the HEAVIEST SOUND.

2002-07-09 15:02:48

MURPHY :

There is ALOT of good drummers out there. Grohl should stick to his "poprock" crap. Just my lowly opinion.

2002-07-09 15:02:05

MaximumFluoride :

Queens of the Starbuck Age

2002-07-09 15:02:01

rockologist :

yeah, and since you released some electric wizard, all is forgiven for unleashing the 'gaprock' :-D

Frappe Rock

2002-07-09 15:00:30

MaximumFluoride :

sorry about the triple post..
Gap metal! Wow a genre!

2002-07-09 14:59:41

kozik :

maxflo be agitated. Merle Haggard musta come on the radio....

2002-07-09 14:59:31

MaximumFluoride :

Uh..hello??!!! QOTSA are no longer Stoner Rock ! I'm talking Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, High oh Fire stoner rock.

2002-07-09 14:58:19

MaximumFluoride :

Uh..hello??!!! QOTSA are no longer Stoner Rock ! I'm talking Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, High oh Fire stoner rock.

2002-07-09 14:58:16

kozik :

yep-QOTSA is like...GAP Rock...
YUPROCK.....Electric Wizrd are the true heirs to Black sabbaths Throne.

2002-07-09 14:57:02

MaximumFluoride :

Uh..hello??!!! QOTSA are no longer Stoner Rock ! I'm talking Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, High oh Fire stoner rock.

2002-07-09 14:55:55

kozik :

I released the first QOTSA tracks, so its all my fault.

2002-07-09 14:54:59

rockologist :

why? if he's good drummer, fuck it. :-?

2002-07-09 14:53:20

MURPHY :

Dave Grohl should get the hell outta QOTSA. :evil:

2002-07-09 14:51:25

Nolen Strals :

Wild Zero is an awesome rockers vs. zombies movie starring guitar wolf. The Wolf teaches the main character that "love sees no color, race or gender" when the kid discovers the girl he fell in love with is really a boy or hermaphrodite. Really hilarious movie.

2002-07-09 14:51:14

kevin jones :

nolan - you know this guy? i want this poster. i tried emailing him, but havent heard anything.

2002-07-09 14:51:10

Nolen Strals :

well max, with dave grohl drumming for queens of the stone age, and them getting major market radio airplay... the death knoll of stoner metal may soon be upon us... but only if his presence can drag over enough of the foo/radio drones' attention... which from the single I heard on the radio...dont' count on it.

2002-07-09 14:49:43

rockologist :

i once saw some movie with guitar wolf in it-they shot lasers from their eyes. that was all i remember about them or the movie, though.

2002-07-09 14:49:11

kevin jones :

the mummies had really great gimmicks ... like that whole contest thing with the random guy on thier record cover thing. great stuff.
mummies = same guys as phantom surfers right?

2002-07-09 14:48:14

MaximumFluoride :

Your sooo right Nolen. I just hope they leave Stoner Rock alone so it doesn't suffer the same fate.

2002-07-09 14:47:12

kozik :

I saw Guitar Wolf a couple of times and they looked great! But i couldnt tell if they could like actually play songs or not..do they actually know how to play?

2002-07-09 14:47:03

kevin jones :

dashboard pretty boy should have died on his way out the birth canal. seriously.

2002-07-09 14:46:43

Nolen Strals :

? and the mysterions... there's a weird dude fronting a good band.
A friend and I were discussing major magazine coverage of indie stuff at the impound lot yesterday, and upon discussin' Gashboard Confessional and others getting covered as "emo" in Time, etc., and the Hives, etc. and the new rock revolution or whatever... realized... the first tiem you see a full page article on something like that in Time, Newsweek, etc. it's teh final nail in the coffin...usually of something that died 3-4 years earlier.

2002-07-09 14:44:27

kevin jones :

art - guitar wolf comment was a joke. damned internet (bah)!
did like the mummies better than the makers though!

2002-07-09 14:43:51

kevin jones :

art - which bands do you speak of? i mean, the ones getting buzz right now that sound like the makers? i cant think of anyone. this is not a crack, but a serious inquiry.
yes, ? and the mysterians.

2002-07-09 14:42:59

art chantry :

oh, kevein -
i don't think i'm alone when i say that i thought guitar wolf was incredibly lame. he was a comedy act, right?

2002-07-09 14:42:17

Nolen Strals :

i just have to say again: chris hope's illustration is awesome. everytime I come back to see the internet one-up-manship crap I keep being wowed by it.

2002-07-09 14:40:36

art chantry :

kevin -
well, we might think of them as 10 years ago, but the bands getting all the buzz right now sound like the old makers to me. the stance, the sound, the whole package. they even sell records and get written up in newsweek. what goes 'round... hell, they always reminded me of ? and the mysterions. even looked like 'em.

2002-07-09 14:39:33

kozik :

no contest intended. just tthe fine artistry of idle chatter and zingy riposte.
Its like a lost phenomenon...my Stat Camera if you will.
En Guarde!

2002-07-09 14:37:17

kevin jones :

again - soooo 10 years ago, in fact, when you think about it, they are more soooo 40 years ago. besides, Guitar Wolf was way better!

2002-07-09 14:36:20

art chantry :

are you guys actually claiming some sort of 'victory' over me? was this some sort of contest? you people should clue me i omn this stuff. i thought i was talking to frank about the makers and what they were about. if this was a pissing contest, i missed it.

2002-07-09 14:34:55

kozik :

Ludevicho Technique

2002-07-09 14:33:06

RichieGoodtimes :

In this staring contest Chantry blinks at post 44.

2002-07-09 14:30:44

art chantry :

i can't believe i'm here defending them. this poster has nothing to do with them. i feel as betrayed by them as anybody. go figger. i'm outa here.

2002-07-09 14:22:13

kozik :

It's all relative, Mr. Bohr...In this case ,in my own immaterial personal and non-objective opinion they took a big smelly poo right where their trough was.
Anyway I can't remember any of their tunes.
So they dont really exist.

2002-07-09 14:21:21

art chantry :

frank -
sure that's crap. that's THE POINT, EINSTEIN! the makers were always deeply into the gimmick.
i once saw them perform (at coca at the kustom kulture exhibit). the stage sat in the middle of the room, and micheal was trying to show all these uppity artsnobs a thing or two and was desperately trying to smash the plywood stage with his diving and dancing. he wanted to wreck it. but unknown to him, it was actually the old u-men stage and it was reinforced with steel. no matter what michael did, he couldn't break it. it looked really stupid. eventually this this art patron girl who worked there came up to him and quietly (afraid?) asked to please stop, 'cos they don't want their stage all broken. micheal looked right into her eyes and melted a little and said in a soft voice, "but we have to, it's part of our act."
get it, yet?
the makers play tough and are tough, but it's only because they're hurt inside by this crap like all of us. when you treat them like real people, you get a real rsponse. you play them, or suck up to them, they eat you. they hate the rock bullshit to the point that they love it. flip flop.
but now they've finally gone over the line and bought their own bullshit. it's all so confusing, now, and it used to be so simple...

2002-07-09 14:18:20

ritchie - your shoe's untied.

I dream of a future where we can punch each other over the internet...virtual fistfights in the comfort of your own home!

2002-07-09 14:13:15

kozik :

Hey Art,,,you aint a NWester no more...you is a Missoullian right?
Missouriaon? Baptist?
what?

2002-07-09 14:11:36

kevin jones :

solo is right.

2002-07-09 14:10:36

kozik :

this guy had a fanzine and worshipped their ass in print. He tried to do an interview and they fucked with him mentally and physically and this guy is like a softie...
thats crap.

2002-07-09 14:09:50

art chantry :

frank -
AHA!! the truth comes out. if they picked on your friend for stupid reasons, it's because they thought it was all stupid. if your friend got hurt, he didn't get it. i know the makers. they get beat on more than anybody you've ever known, and they understand these things. for chrissakes, they grew up looking like that in SPOKANE! you ever been to spokane? it's a miracle they lived through it.
tell yer friend to stand up for himself. we have to.

2002-07-09 14:08:26

kozik :

gotta dig him up first. Then I can test out my Zombie Juice.
get that fucker in the ring!

2002-07-09 14:07:29

kevin jones :

inspector obvious - yeah, thats why they gots a new bass player after the 2nd album. guy raped some girl on tour ... the others had to let him go, you know to keep the wholesome image.

2002-07-09 14:06:50

RichieGoodtimes :

My dad can beat up your dad.

2002-07-09 14:06:34

art chantry :

kevin -
you got that right!

2002-07-09 14:05:04

kozik :

Ha!
All I know is that they 'picked on' a real good friend of mine who is like the most nicest guy ever and really loved their band, just cause he was like 'not cool' looking.
It really hurt this guy a LOT.
So I despise them.

2002-07-09 14:04:48

art chantry :

richie -
if yer talking 'bout bikers, we nw folk have always gotten on well with them folks. they got good rules, easy to live by. no muss, no fuss, pass the beer.

2002-07-09 14:04:37

kevin jones :

get with the now my good men, the Makers are so 10 years ago. QandnotU - you know, contemporary rock. :D

2002-07-09 14:03:52

art chantry :

oh, frank. i forgot how tough you are. well, we'll all chicken out over this way, just because we're all gay and stuff. is that ok?

2002-07-09 14:02:23

RichieGoodtimes :

Oh...that would be great!!! Introduce 'em to the neighbrs Frank?

2002-07-09 14:02:11

kozik :

no...gimmickry in general.
its a lot more fun if a band has a fresh gimmick.
vaudeville baby.

2002-07-09 14:01:35

kozik :

Art, put them in a van and send them to me at
1488 Howard Street SFCA 94103.
Ill make a video for you.

2002-07-09 14:00:48

art chantry :

are you talking about the band, THE GIMMICKS?

2002-07-09 14:00:33

RichieGoodtimes :

POP MAN!!!

2002-07-09 14:00:22

kozik :

dude I know NOTHING about music.
Its the GIMMICKS that Im interested in. Showmanship.

2002-07-09 13:59:24

art chantry :

i think they made some incredibly stupid egotisical moves with their "music" and 'career", but when it comes to calling them sissy names and expecting them to fall apart, i've witness otherwise. these guys have had to fight tooth and nail every step of their lives and i just wanted to point out to you that they hold grudges and no problem with a little of the ol' A & B on anybodies ass. just thought i'd tell you. be nice to them, they be nice back. an eye for an eye works well with them. they're actually good folks. they have burned some bridges lately in the name of 'artistic progress', which i think was a truly gigantic mistake, but they have the dignity to accept that. call them names, they'll kill your ass. simple, but effective.

2002-07-09 13:58:48

kevin jones :

really nolen, you think Q&NotU are forced? i really dont think so, or at least i cant tell from thier music. i dont care what kind of people they are (unless they are off raping little girls at shows like the promise ring or some shit), as long as the make decent music. i think that Q¬U have a pretty unique song writing style, and have far more substance than most of the bands ive heard compared with them. not all DC bands can sound like Circus Lupus (unfortunately)!

2002-07-09 13:58:25

kozik :

I saw the Makers afew times...they are so full of shit. Abusive jagoffs that rock NOT. That whole 'we are a gang' gimmick is like so tired.
Join the Marines and go kill some foriegners if ya want to be a tuff guy. Picking on fat slobs at indie rock shows is like...gay.

2002-07-09 13:56:41

Nolen Strals :

I could eaily be talking about many many of the bands in indiedom, thought the makers are another good point. Hmmm... The Apes... they're really nice folks, again from teh DC area, again people love em, but it seems forced....really forced. The singer is super nice and down to earth though, not at all what you would expect from his wannabe iggy antics on stage.

2002-07-09 13:54:43

kozik :

I still say theyre gay,
phoney baloney
I will call them names and run away
to call them gay another day

2002-07-09 13:53:32

art chantry :

frank -
two guys in the band are golden gloves and michael has had a bench warrant out for his arrest before. they are NOT WEENIES. i've sent hem pull off ultraviolence that's truly hilarious - and get away with it. they once had to be escorted out of a hall by the lapd because they had picked a fight with a gangbanger who came back with his crew to take them apart. they were eager to fight but the lapd thought otherwise.
frank, yer big, but the makers could eat you. sorry. queer? who knows, who cares? whatsitoyamotherfucker!

2002-07-09 13:52:08

kozik :

...so...west side story....

2002-07-09 13:49:46

kozik :

the makers are gay.

2002-07-09 13:48:52

art chantry :

all swagger and no substance to all swagger and less substance? nolan - you talkin 'bout THE MAKERS?

2002-07-09 13:48:21

kevin jones :

i like their muzak.

2002-07-09 13:47:17

Nolen Strals :

coz I saw 'em go from a band nobody knew who just dressed like some dudes.... who had goofy/bad stage moves and boring, uninventive music.... to being guys who started dressing cool and still wrote boring music and still had weird/bad stage moves but wait, they dress hip now...and.. that seems to be the only change from when I first saw em to now... the clothes DO make the band it seems. they bore me. but they know the right folks I guess?

2002-07-09 13:44:12

kevin jones :

how can you deny Q & Not U's rock-ability?

2002-07-09 10:18:32

Nolen Strals :

chris hope kicking more butt. Great illustration... I like the ornamental type... the colors... feels like the opening title for a cartoon from teh late 60's/early 70's.
oh but mr. jones... why must you and so many others fall for Q & not U's bore-core?

2002-07-09 10:10:56

El Negro Magnifico! :

The show date behind the other info is a nice touch too.

2002-07-05 16:13:17

kevin jones :

seriously, i cant stop looking at this. amazing color picks here, and again cool ass illo. pretty in pink!

2002-07-05 16:03:19

El Negro Magnifico! :

I agree, the illustration is great!

2002-07-05 15:33:39

kevin jones :

that illustration is cool as hell! i really like this poster. and Q & Not U is an amazing band.
