Keith Buckley of Everytime I Die breaks the hearts of youth group kiddies everywhere when wrapping up an interview:
No stories, anecdotes, puns, riddles, anything like that?
Not really, I’m actually a little off today. I was up drinking with Norma Jean until like five this morning.
HA! they’re going to hell.
I think this is pretty common among Tooth and Nail/Solid State bands, I doubt any youth group pastors are shitting their pants over this.
Yeah, I thought it was old news that Norma Jean like to party it up.
youth pastor’s don’t listen to metalcore, it’s not “Godly” enough.
Not surprised.
Not all youth pastor fit the same stereo type. I am inked up, I have a occasional drink, and I like a fine cigar.
But you are right, alot t&n and S S bands do like to party it up.
I expected more from Everytime I Die. Norma Jean is a complete set of lushes, but Keith out drinking with those shady indiviuals in Norma Jean, and till 5AM. All I can say is I am dissapointed in EID. VERY DISSAPOINTED!
Eh.
sorry guys…i was there too
Jay did I not make it Sacastic enough?
I was just responding to the entire situation, not your comment.
Millions of Christians drink alcohol, whoop de doo.
“Inked up”
HaHa
I never listened to Norma Jean anyway
dewd, but 5am??? WHAT WILL YOUNG IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN THINK? THINK OF THE KIDDIES! Now excuse me while I mainline my espresso.
Well, it’s against the law for kiddies, I think that approach should be taken more than it is.
Drinking beer is evil.
Correction: Drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon is evil.
Drinking pee is evil.
Drinking anything other than coffee is evil.
Drinking pee after drinking PBR is pure evil.
At least that’s what I hear. I wouldn’t know. I just heard it from some of my inked up, fringe-dwelling risk-takers.
Do people really think it’s a big deal for of age men to drink beer until 5 am? Really?
hell yeah, it’s a big deal. but only if you’re a “normal person” with a job, and not in a band. a friend and i decided against getting some beer monday night because it was 10:30pm. sad, i know.
@ Ryan, no. This is Buzzgrinder. We joke about stuff. Like, how youth group kiddies really look up to Norma Jean and their Christian leaning, and here they are out DRINKING with another band till 5am. ZOMG. Get it?
Do I think it’s bad? No. I’m usually out until 6am every day hunting rats in the NYC subway system and harvesting their livers and eyeballs for metal album record covers. To each their own.
It was a rhetorical question. I guess I don’t express a sarcastic tone as well as some other people online. Merely meant to comment on the asininity of those who will condemn this.
I heard about Pillar doing Jager bombs til 4am.
Maybe the excess of alcohol is to blame for the decrease in quality of Norma Jean music.
Bring on the ‘ZOMG what quality’ comments.
When I went to Cornerstone about four or five years back, I was talking to some band, and Norma Jean walked by. Somebody stopped our conversation and said “there goes Norma Jean… probably to their hotel room to drink and look at porno.” I was appalled, but that was when I still listened to DC Talk frequently.
Spencer from Underoath drinks Coors. Oh, and let me add he uses a Suicide Silence coozie. Uh-ohhhhh…
I got drunk with Carman..does that count?
Rojas… most definately, and funny.
Nothing wrong with a few beers here and there, but I do believe it’s sinful to get drunk (this is based off of Scripture, which you may or may not take seriously). That being said, people make mistakes and shouldn’t be frowned upon for a slip up now and then. However, if it’s a regular thing, I think there’s definitely an issue that needs to be addressed. Especially if it’s a situation where people are under the impression that the party in question is comprised of “positive role models” that they can allow their kids to support. I was a youth leader at a church in my old town and it was nice to be able to introduce the kids to bands whom I felt were good role models. However, since I don’t personally know any of the bands, I had to base my judgment of their character off of their lyrics, record label and the kinds of shows/festivals they play at. Therefore, I definitely think there’s a problem that needs to be addressed when a band plays Christian festivals, but has no problem getting wasted after the show is over. I just think it sends a very mixed message that is very confusing and destructive for youth, who are often times already confused and searching for answers.
On a side note, this is an issue I dealt with in my old band. There were many times I didn’t feel that my/our lifestyles reflected the kind of message we were attempting to send out to the local high school kids. So, I confronted my band members about it and basically told them we had to make a decision about where we were going to stand as a band. I think that no matter how much we want to write off a band’s behavior as unimportant, we have to remember that for many people, everything they believe/say/do is influenced by the bands they listen to.
who cares what they do. im interested in music not bands personal shit. i am now going to go get hammered off some PBR.
long live the beer!
Essays on buzzgrinder? The inconsistency is making my mind explode!–>I’ll try and send Seth a picture for his covers.
if you ask me, getting drunk isn’t the main problem. the problem is what you’re doing when you’re drunk. it’s all really funny until someone dies in a car wreck or gets pregnant.
still, there is something to be said about what you do with your time. i mean, really? do you really have nothing better to do than drink until 5 in the morning?
Tim O said: “still, there is something to be said about what you do with your time. i mean, really? do you really have nothing better to do than drink until 5 in the morning?”
You’ve never been in a touring band have you?
Hurry we have to get the beer out of the carpet for the Christian wrestaling federation HURRY!HURRY!!
Rojas - you are correct, but you’ll have trouble convincing me that drinking till 5 am and playing Halo 3 for 4 hours a day (Hawthorne Heights, right?) are part of the job
Martin Luther would be proud?
Im not a pimp, i don’t pick up lose woman!
@Tim O–Nope. No need to. Your response tells me you wouldn’t understand even if I tried.
Yeah Tim, Rojas is obviously a rock star with a lot of touring and beer drinking under his belt. don’t question his all knowing ways
…as the victim of a drunk driving accident I say find a new hobby or maybe try sleeping once in a while.
When I’m on the road with my band we actually get to sleep at a decent time. It’s a lot easier to drive cross country without a hangover. I’m not a drinker it’s a pretty disgusting habit.
Mmm…Opinions.
The hell???
Bands on tour have to be in bed at a certain time or Jordan pops out of the closet or the glove box and gives disapproving frowns.
Jordan: It’s awful that you were the victim of a drunk driver, but playing hall monitor on people who keep to themselves actually does undermine any authority you’re trying to assume on the matter. All the If>Then assumption is just goofy.
I don’t think Rojas’ sarcastic quip at Tim-O could really be considered as keeping to himself. I was merely trying to say that not every touring band stays up to the wee hours of the morning drinking away their guarantees for the week.
What is up with the band/scenester Pabst phenomenon?
@ Tim–Um, yeah, thanks for the memo for all of us folks that are suppose to know that you were the victim of drunk driving accident. While I am sorry to hear that (really, I am), it doesn’t change the fact that you were still talking shit with a sarcastic quip of your own.
So…..
Does every band do it? Of course. If you don’t, your sack probably hasn’t dropped and you still talk funny.
Do the majority of bands do it? Yes. Christian or not. Both have an appetite for destruction \m/
Rock star? No.
Ex-touring musician? Yes.
And yeah, don’t question me. If you do, your penis will fall off.
p.s.@ Howard–Hahaha..awesome.
Jared, it’s cheap and it gets you drunk.
If I’m strapped for cash but want to get loaded, I’ll High Life it. Halfway through the case, I’m buzzed enough to not really care that I’m drinking piss water.
See, Sergio gets it…how about the rest of you bastards? lol
…rojas was too busy being a douche to differentiate between someone named Jordan and a completely unrelated poster named Tim-O
“@ Tim–Um, yeah, thanks for the memo for all of us folks that are suppose to know that you were the victim of drunk driving accident. While I am sorry to hear that (really, I am), it doesn’t change the fact that you were still talking shit with a sarcastic quip of your own.”
Makes no sense
heh, my doucheness got in the way of referring to the right person. Shit happens.
So…
Jordan=tool. There, are you happy now?
I’m going outside to shoot guns into the air at an 89.9999º angle.
Squares!
Well, since Howard’s comment made no sense to my feeble mind, I wanted to waste some space and see if my gravatar is working. If it is not, completely disregard this post. Thank you.
