 Post subject: If tegan and sara have one, so should eisley.Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2007 8:05 am 
a tour bus that is. tas got their first one recently (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqsoHDFefRs) and I think it's due time Eisley does...even though tas has released 4 albums and even a few physical singles (imagine that...) and done a few world tours. Well maybe Eisley will get one a while... |

I remember Tegan and Sara's tour bus from when I saw it in 2005, and then I think of Eisley's van ... yeah, Eisley needs one of those. Those vans are way too unsafe, too. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Tour buses cost upwards of $150,000. It takes a looooooong time for bands to get them unless they go into even more serious debt to their label. But they are cool, and they sure beat vans.  _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Some simliar vans have flipping issues, from what I've heard. (This was my 14,000 post. How profound. ha) _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

(This was my 14,000 post. How profound. ha) that's because a lot of 350s/450s are converted for public transport and they have to expand the passenger cabin to allow for easy movement and standing room as well as usuall a wheel chair lift in the 450 series. This is what we use, and as a result they are very top heavy. Normal personal usage versions are no more prone to flip than most vehicles at their height and weight |

Best way to get Eisley a tour bus: 1. One person buys a copy of LP2 2. Said person burns a copy for every Eisley fan 3. Every Eisley fan sends 12 bucks to the DuPree residence I'm sure the label would love that,  _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

I think most bands rent tour buses. and unless bands sign really terrible contracts they can't really get into debt to their label....unless that was said metaphorically, which then I guess that works but yeah tour buses rule _________________ If you wanna go on a picnic, I'll bring the watermelon. |

Yeah, darn near every band that is decently big rents. A lot of smaller bands buy, because used ones can be very, very cheap. I thinks it's highly unlikely that Eisley will buy one, though. Mark |
