| ALEXISONFIRE |
[08 May 2004|09:37pm] |
Well, happy whatever to everyone. I haven't really done a decent update in a long time. For some reason I can't copy and paste on IE anymore. Ohwell, fuck it.
I went to see ALEXISONFIRE (some people in Australia and probably in the USA just raised an eyebrow and said "who?") at the Croatian Cultural Centre. After 2 months of planning out this concert and just getting to the phase in which it is actually going to be happening, I thought I deserved a break - so I made the post in my LJ, to which Jess (aka: blaze) replied and so I called and she checked with Mike if he wanted to come and so I had a ride secured. Then I went and bought the tickets. Now, I don't really know alot of ALEXISONFIRE's songs, but I thought it was close and I like their singles and videos that they have on the music station (much music) and wanted to go - so got a ride with Blaze and Mike. (thanks guys)
We got there, and I made my way to the third row of people from the stage for the first band, to which the drummer threw water bottles after the set and i managed to catch one. At that point, a Trent Reznor lookalike from Surrey told me to spray it everywhere, so I did. Blaze, Mike and I talked with him and I managed to get my tape recorder ready.
The Black Halos, I think, were next and all I have to say is "MY GOD!!! IGGY POP INCOGNITO!!!" This band was like seeing Iggy Pop do Fear Factory and Blur covers at the same time. It was very cool. I was in the second row of people (nice and far from the moshing, and close enough to touch the stage) and that was very cool. When the lead singer came down, he pulled me towards him and I grabbed his mic and yelled a bit of the song they were doing at the time into it. I may be a pinner, but that guy was pretty fucking strong to have pulled me through those people towards him. Needless to say, I was very impressed.
After that, I was walking out to get a drink and guess who was at the stand with all the ALEXISONFIRE stuff... but one of the guitarists. So I shook his hand and told him I was looking forward to his set and left to get my drink and hang out with Mike and Blaze outside of the doors.
When the other band got on stage (don't ask me who they were) I spotted what looked like the other guitarist for ALEXISONFIRE taking pictures and enjoying himself right there on the side of the stage. Turned out it wasn't, but his brother or something, not sure. But I went to that side of the stage and caught his attention, to which he acknowledged me (I didn't give a shit about the other band, I was just trying to make eye contact with him) so I turned to Blaze all excited - and just then she fainted. Mike got her up and I pushed everyone out of the way as well as block some of the insane moshers from knocking Mike and Blaze over (OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW) and talked to security while Mike got her out as fast as possible. Then we got first aid for her.
ALEXISONFIRE took the stage and that's what I was waiting for. I started taping the show (it's a very shitty bootleg cuz it's taken from the first row, but I know what's going on) and immediately did the song I was waiting for. The set continued and as it turns out it was the guitarist who I shook hands with's birthday that day, so the audience sung happy birthday and the other guitarist said "how many people don't know the words to happy birthday? i think you guys just fucked up happy birthday." which was hilarious at the time. I passed out myself from being in the front row and crushed against the fence so hard that I couldn't breathe and then overheating. I got up into the next song and got the tape recorder and left for some water and take care of other business. Then Blaze's favorite song by them came on, so I stood at the doorway and taped it for her - there ended the bootleg and there we left.
All in all, for the first time in 6 years I was at a metal/punk/anything concert in a shitty stuffy room with maybe 500 other people and yet managed to have a great time.
Got home and sent the following txt msg to the band (they have a thing on their webpage with the info and shit to txt msg them comments and whatnot) that read:
GREAT SHOW IN VANCOUVER! THANKS FOR THE EXPERIANCE. WATERWINGS ROCKED.
and then the next morning, I got this reply:
awesome. glad you had fun. we luv vancouver. lots of friends out there. props to www.bedlamsociety.com (westcoast) thanx 4 the support
So that was very cool!
Here ends my post, hope you enjoyed wasting time reading it.

you need Real Player to hear this file.
this song won't be on the album, so this bootleg is the only chance you'll get to hear it unless you hear me live doing this song.
for the 1 year anniversary of James Carrie's suicide, here is the song that has made this tour successful.

The Offspring - Gone Away
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

R.E.M. - Let Me In
Yeah, all those stars drip down like butter,
Promises are sweet,
We hold out our pans, lift our hands to catch them
We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in
I only wish that I could hear you whisper down,
Mister fisherman, to a less peculiar ground
He gathered up his loved ones and he brought them all around
To say goodbye, nice try
Hey, let me in. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in, let me in
I had a mind to try to stop you. Let me in, let me in
I've got tar on my feet and I can't see
All the birds look down and laugh at me
Clumsy, crawling out of my skin
Hey, let me in. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in

COLDPLAY - AMSTERDAM
Come on, oh my star is fading,
And I swerve out of control,
If I, if I'd only waited,
I'd not be stuck here in this hole,
Come here, oh my star is fading,
And I swerve out of control,
And I swear, I waited and waited,
I've got to get out of this hole
But time is on your side, its on your side, now
Not pushing you down, and all around,
It's no cause for concern
Come on, oh my star is fading,
And I see no chance of release,
And I know I'm dead on the surface,
But I am screaming underneath
And time is on your side, its on your side, now
Not pushing you down, and all around,
No it's no cause for concern
Stuck on the end of this ball and chain,
And I'm on my way back down again,
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose,
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean,
But it won't change a thing,
I'm sick of the secrets,
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose,
And you came along and you cut me loose,
You came along and you cut me loose,
You came along and you cut me loose

Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters
Now I know, "Spanish harlem" are not just pretty words
to say.
I thought I knew, but now I know that rose trees never grow,
in New York city.
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true,
You stand at the edge, while people run you through.
And I thank the Lord, there's people out there like you,
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you.
While Mona Lisas and mad hatters,
sons of bankers, sons of lawyers,
turn around and say, "good morning" to the night.
For unless they see the sky, but they can't and that is why,
they know not if it's dark out side or light.
This Broadway's got, its got a lot of songs to sing,
if I knew the tunes I might join in.
I go my way alone, grow my own,
my own seeds shall be sown, in New York city.
Subways no way , for a good man to go down,
Rich man can ride, and the hobo he can drown.
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found,
I thank the Lord for the people I have found.

here JK. :)
Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil, darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counselling, prayer, and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child:
-Frequently wears black clothing.
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.
-Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick, or nailpolish.
-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols.
-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically
-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
-Takes drugs.
-Drinks alcohol.
-Is suicidal and/or depressed.
-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.)
-Complains of boredom.
-Sleeps too excessively or too little.
-Is excessively awake during the night.
-Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light. (This pertains to vampires promoting the idea that His light is of no use.)
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
-Spends large amounts of time alone.
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil sprits through meditation.)
-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.
-Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a few examples of this.
-Misbehaves at school.
-Misbehaves at home.
-Eats excessively or too little.
-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this.
-Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. (Vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately.)
-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.
-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music.
-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner.
-Expresses an interest in sex.
-Masturbates
-Is homosexual and/or bisexual.
-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism.
-Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various phrases: "I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "woe is me", "I'm a goth".
-Claims to be a goth.
If five or more of these apply to your child, please intervene immediately. The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it. If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental health center.
that was the list.
now, observe which are true of me.
-Frequently wears black clothing.
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. (because R.E.M. David Bowie, Radiohead, Delerious, Led Zeppelin and Nitro Cardno are the pinicles of satanism.)
-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols. (well, i have a ring with odd markings like wavy lines and that - plus a symbol that stands for peace or love or something like that as a necklace.)
-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos. (i want an eight note on my arm)
-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)(well, Nitro Cardno at one point said he was the anti-christ aswell.)
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically (so - noone is allowed to have unique friends or else we're going to hell. done.)
-Takes drugs. (tylenol, baby!)
-Drinks alcohol. (and that's why i take the tylenol. :P)
-Is suicidal and/or depressed. (what, if someone is depressed they are evil incarnate - funny, very funny!)
-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.)(I listen to TOOL bootlegs - that qualifies as self-mutilation... have you heard Maynard live?!)
-Complains of boredom.(When I'm not recording there isn't anything to do in this town so I end up being bored atleast once a week - sometimes up to 5 times a week)
-Sleeps too excessively or too little. (Where is the boundary?! How much is too excessively or too little? And what if you cross that line by a few seconds? Does that damn you aswell? Ahhhhh, sleeping in... the sign of a Satanist.)
-Is excessively awake during the night. (do you get rain 6 days a bloody week that's so loud people in China are probably waking up from the noise? give me a fucking break!)
-Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light. (This pertains to vampires promoting the idea that His light is of no use.)(1: hangover - i hate light... 2: early morning - i hate light... 3: headache - i hate light... 4: after just exiting a dark room - i hate light ... ... ... may you "normal people" PLEASE just tell me how wrong this is!!!)
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy. (what is an unusual amount of privacy? "i wanna be alone today!" - what's wrong with that? I like to have atleast half my day be private - well, from physical people anyway.)
-Spends large amounts of time alone. (does the title "SOLO ARTIST" mean nothing to you people?)
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil sprits through meditation.) (I don't "speak to evil spirits through meditation" and if I ever wanted to, I could just go over to a few of my ex gf's places and speak to them! :P BTW - requesting time alone IS NORMAL for anyone... if not, then you have a disorder and should check yourself into a mental hospital!)
-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult. (well, ok, i'm an adult as are most of my friends so you can't peg me here - but i was like this when i was young and all we'd get up to was walking to the movies to watch some PG or PG-13 movie and all the way there, talking about shit like videogames and whatnot.)
-Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a few examples of this. (well, some of these are dictators, so I very easily backed away. My life is to be controlled by me, my career by my manager. I won't cross any of your lines out of spite. I won't kill anyone, rape, steal, cheat, lie, etc etc etc - but I refuse, and always have, to do anything except say how I truly feel and what I really mean when asked.)
-Misbehaves at home. (but it's my studio, i'm allowed to break my own rules!)
-Eats excessively or too little. (again, where is the line that defines "normal"?)
-Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. (Vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately.)(If I bite my tongue or gum and it bleeds and I swallow my saliva, then I have done this. besides, blood tastes kinda sweet. not that i'd do it all the time, but when i cut my lip or something, it's a bonus that makes the pain factor not too bad after all.)
-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)(I watch Nitro Cardno videos - now THOSE are corrupt. No, seriously, I watch FRIENDS and BEAT THE GEEKS on rare occasions, so I'm guilty.)
-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature. (I love role-playing video games. especially the Harry Potter ones, actually. All good fun.)
-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer. (I just want to add that JK found this in a LJ community - so the hypocrisy here is just killing me.)
-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music. (I admit it, I'm sorry, I violently shake my head when something like HALO SPACEBOY by David Bowie is on my headphones, or something like that. Does shaking my head make me a demon?)
-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner. (I can't defend this one, can I? Ohwell, I'll just say I gotta have something to do on stage while I'm playing.)
-Expresses an interest in sex. (again... I can't defend this one, can I? Ohwell, I'll just say I gotta have something to do on stage while I'm playing. :P)
-Is homosexual and/or bisexual. (bisexual to a certain extent. :P which basically means in Shelly's dreams I'm fucking someone like Michael Stipe - though he is hot - and in real life I'm straight as an arrow... so I'll meet this all half way. :P Besides, I like to play it up as if I am bi just to give my audience something to think about... cuz my music is too unintelligent for anything else to sustain it than confusion.)
-Claims to be a goth. (well, i claim to be somewhere between a hippie and a goth.)
So, where is the local mental health centre? I'm more than qualified for a free house there. :P

Attention - in less than a month, there will be a new Nitro Cardno depicting hightlights of the last year. This will include the live performance of Fellowship/Quest with Joel Faryna as well as a full length version of The Ballad of the Burden Bearer. This is to be marketed, again, as a bootleg. The quality is less than perfect on these tracks but they capture felling of the last year.
There'll also be backstage moments on this album as well as an array of images which'll be the real reason for purchasing this album, I should hope.
Following that, one month later, the much anticipated THE DIVISION AND SCHISM is released in North America!
We do one last show out here in Maple Ridge at the Art Centre Theatre with Just Faking It opening and then it's off to the land down under.
Thank you British Columbia for the kick ass times.

| Nitro Cardno QUOTE of the day: |
[15 Mar 2004|08:08pm] |
While talking to a CD store owner; In reference to March 13th 2004 at Bogart's Joint with Joel Faryna.
"If music is my bride and lover, then that night was definately the best sex I've ever had in my entire life."

Nitro Cardno - Fellowship/Quest (live) |
] |
Last night, I went to Bogart's Joint to promote my near completed new album. But I had a very special guest on stage - original guitarist and good friend of mine Joel Faryna. We did all new songs which was very odd because Joel and I haven't been on stage together for 4 years (let alone in a club like this, packed as hell) and he didn't know any of the songs (I think he heard them once because he came to a gig back when) so he just did guitar solos and i strapped on the accoustic guitar.
THE SET
Nitro Cardno: "Good Evening, Bogart's Joint! Joel, jeez. Just alittle side announcement, while we get ready... I've been, uh, spending the last two years working on a new album called The Division and Schism, this is a new song, this is going to be the first single off of that album. This is called The Journey to the Other Side."
Daris: "Whoever's drums these are, raise your hand. Who's drum kit is this? Yours? Can I play this for a while? Ask your mom (laughter)"
Nitro Cardno: "Oh, he's setting up the recording. Hey Joel, say something!"
Joel Faryna: "Something. That was supposed to be funny, but it didn't work. I'm just going to stick to playing guitar."
Nitro Cardno "Interesting thing is that he played guitar for me two - four years ago! Shit! And just tonight we got back on stage. Let me know when you're ready to record, man. You're recording? Ok. Here we go, ready dude?"
The Journey to the Other Side
I sang like shit here. I was sooooooooooooo fucking flat. I spent most of the song trying to find the key, but half the audience went nuts so I guess they're either tone-deaf or I'm way to harsh on myself.
Nitro Cardno: "Wanna hear another one? Yeah? This is another new one, this'll probably be the second single."
Find My Way Home
After the warm up that was the previous song, my vocals weren't so bad. I was alot more relaxed now. I wasn't worring about fucking up - which'd mean the band would fuck up - and I just went with the flow. From there my signature vocals sounded very decent. It actually sounded alot like back when Joel and I were working on Motion Picture Soundtrack. Audience loved it. I'd say I won over about 60-70 percent of the audience at this point. I hadn't gotten booed off stage for the first song so I was confident that I could definately pull doing another song.
Nitro Cardno: "One More? C SHARP MINOR!!! Yeah, I wanna send this - I just want everyone to give a hand for Bogart's because without them, this would not have been possible. Best place in Maple Ridge! This is a rejected song, it's probably gonna be a B-SIDE."
Joel Faryna: "You guys should all keep in mind that me and Dar have been on stage with Nitro before. So if we suck, we do have a very good excuse."
Nitro Cardno: "I think they're both awesome! To hell with all that! I think they're both awesome! This is just on a bit of a mellower note."
Fellowship/Quest
"On a mellower note." - What the fuck? I was up there with an accoustic guitar, Joel was playing electric guitar with his fingers! Why did I say that as if I had just been playing death metal for the last 10 minutes?! I could go on for hours about this song on this night and why it was so significant but that's so not why I did it in the moment. I just felt it was how to reward a great audience and I hadn't done it since September because of the fact that I decided not to finish this song for the album.
The reason for the significance, and I so didn't recognize it until it was pointed out to me that it was indeed the 13th. This was the 11 month anniversary of James' suicide - and he had helped me work on this song back when it was in the works. There was just something magical about this performance, though. My vocals were decent enough but that's not the point - the point was ON GUITAR, ORIGINAL GUITARIST FOR NITRO CARDNO, JOEL FARYNA!!! This rivaled the performances I had with Jesse from Just Faking It on guitar - actually, no contest. This rivaled the performance on Canada Day - actually, still no contest. It was just magical. Darris on drums blew me away and Joel's guitaring was intimate with the song in ways not even I could have done.
Nitro Cardno: "Thank you very much, Bogart's Joint! Just wait... just wait... these two were absolutely amazing! I want everyone - I want everyone to give a hand for Joel! Joel was fucking awesome! And thank the wonderful person who let there be drums in this set. Enjoy the other acts, thankyou very much."
Adam: "Ok folks, give it up for Whipped Tea! That was Chris and Joel and Darris!"
(note, for those unaware, I am always introduced on stage with a bogus name and whipped tea was my choice for tonight.)
Anyway, Joel and I had a drink and everyone was talking to me about my set. It was fucking awesome!

The show begins.
Pause!
"But I tried so hard to find my way back home again!" and a suggestive looking fluffy thing.
One of two things is happening here... I'm either going "fuck me dead, I think I broke a string!" because I hit the strings as hard as I could with the pick, or I'm desperately trying to remember the bridge to Find My Way Home because it's been 6 months since I've even played it to myself.
Just like old times.
No comment. I look like Thom Yorke in this picture, Joel looks awesome (though it shows that he doesn't fit in with me and Darris) and Darris is just enjoying the drums.
"What the hell are you playing?" "I don't know, what the hell are you playing?"
