 Post subject: Upcoming Tour with ??New Found Glory??Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2005 6:20 am 
Hey Guys, this is the first time I've ever posted a topic and it just had to be done! I've been a fan since I heard you open up for COLDPLAY, yet I'm sure you have fans that have admired you before that. But, anyhow I was completely blown away!! Thanks for creating such beautiful music!!! But I just couldn't help but notice that your opening up for New Found Glory??? Why?!? I'm sure they are a great bunch of guys, this is just my opinion, but they Suck!! You guys should be headling your own tour!! Well I hope all is well... And I'm sorry if I offended anyone who is a New Found Glory Fan!! I guess I'll see YOU in May!! MT |

I think the whole idea of touring with NFG is to expose people to Eisley; people who might not otherwise have a chance of hearing them play. Sure, they might be teeny-boppers and all that, but who cares. Fans are fans are fans, and teeny-boppers spend money on music and Ipods too. |

and at the end of the day, you're never going to grow as a band if you play to the same 400 people in every city. you need to expand your audience. |

Both right, methinks. They'll open for other bands. And Eisley just isn't big enough to pull even 1,000 a night yet. 400-500, yes. But they've got to grow more. I've noticed fans of bands like NFG and Brand New are much more accepting of new music than fans of bands more similar to Eisley. Quite shocking, since fans of those bands love to tout their musical openess. But anyway, May will be over before we know it, and the NFG tour will be over for better or worse. Then they'll get to open with another band someone hates. Or they'll head out on a smaller headlining tour, etc ... _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Eisley had a fantastic response from their tour with Brand New. I expect much the same for the NFG tour. And while I might not like the music, it seems that the New Found Glory boys are some all right people, so there's no reason to be hating on 'em. You can always leave after Eisley's set. That's what I'll be doing.  _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I like Eisley, I like Reggie, I like NFG. I am talking my brothers girlfriend into taking me so we can have fun together. She likes NFG a lot, I love Eisley a lot. It's a good tour for us to go to. _________________ my name's carrie and i love a good sandwich so if you have a sandwich, come roll with me!

Seriously. Plus...I used to hate NFG, but they have really grown on me. I listen to them when I totally just need to rock out. I like their music, and cant wait for the tour!

I'm not a fan of NFG at all, but the biggest fan of Eisley, and I've never heard Reggie. I'll go to the NFG tour anyway. We told Chauntelle, Sherri, and Weston that we'd endure NFG just to see them As it was told..Sherri and Weston don't like NFG's music either ::chuckles:: I hope I get to meet em again...i wonder if chauntelle will remember us...or SHERRI WHOO!  _________________ ---------------------------------------------- - - - If you woke up today; yesterday was a great accomplishment. ~ Ramón ~ |

I understand the need to expand one's audience and play to a different crowd. But a lot of us (from what I can tell) are pissed off that they have to contribute money toward NFG, and sit through whatever crap bands are before Eisley. Also the moshing et. al that generally ensues at a punk show. THis is my sad face...  But thats what I get for not going to their shows before.
But still I'll be there. P.S. What are the chances of meeting them after they play, like at their merchandise booth or something. That is my secret hope. _________________ "But oh, the brave Autumn, and the songs they sang; harvest, and the painting of a leaf, and 'Half Holiday Today'..." (LHA) |

Well, I'm sure there will be fans of other bands who aren't happy to give money to a band like Eisley. Eisley will be at the merch, or somewhere else (and they'll announce it from the stage, I'm sure). They're very dedicated to being available to their fans. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I hate new found glory. I love all kinds of music but just find their music to be boring and generic. _________________ http://www.nicholasvenaglia.com |

This has been hashed over like 16 times. Yes Eisley is touring with NFG. Yes some Eisley fans are not happy with this, but others such as myself are. Yes you will still be able to meet them. THE END.
