 Post subject: Telescope Eye's deathPosted: Thu Oct 25, 2007 6:18 am 
In light of the recent interview how many albums will have to be put out before Eisley stops performing elescope Eyes much to Sherri's happiness. _________________ But I cannot discover any advantage except in honor, in glory, and in right action.

If she doesn't want it to be played they shouldn't. It is a really good one though. But I can listen to all the Eisley songs I have (40) and enjoy them. I really love their older ones: Sea King, Mr. Pine, Sun Feet, Vintage People, Silverbugs, The Winter Song, Pretender, and Laughing City in it's place. I really really want a studio version of Silverbugs! |

Got a link to that interview? I want to know why Sherri feels compelled to include "Telescope Eyes" in their setlists if nobody in the band likes the song. Don't like it? It's your song; stop playing it.  _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

The loud cheers that Telescope Eyes get at some markets (often the loudest of the night at many of the shows I've been to) is probably the main driving force behind this. I can live without it, but people like the song. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I'm not going to say (again) how I feel about this song. I think it'll be a song where after the next album or so they'll stop playing it and then after another album or so they'll start working it back in every once and a while. |

Well, I know that many of my friends who've checked Eisley out listened to TE. So, people who aren't Eisley fans but have checked out their music probaby have heard TE simply because it's been around for so long. They probably still play it for those people in the crowd... _________________ "I cannot discuss your verses; for any attempt at criticism would be foreign to me.

Telescope Eyes is personally the one that got me into Eisley, but I can listen to it and not listen to it when I choose, if the band feels obligated to play it for a fanbase, then they play it whether they want to or not. _________________ But I cannot discover any advantage except in honor, in glory, and in right action.

I like the first version from EP2, maybe they should play that version because it's a little different, they might not get tired of it as quickly. Switch it up between that and the one everyone knows from RN. |

They should just stop playing it now. They don't like, then don't play it. Sounds fair to me. _________________ EvilSpace |

Telescope Eyes is my least favorite Eisley song. and to my memory I dont recall them playing it at the most recent NYC show and I was happy about that. (and if they did play it i totally pretended it never happened). Though i did like it acoustic. So im ok if they dropped it from their set for like 2 years... or forever. whichever. _________________

I am indifferent. If they dislike the song, then I think it gets played because so many people were first introduced to them by that song, or the video of that song. Hearing it at a concert does not bother me in the least. |

what's this? a band playing an old song that other people like even if you and the band don't? I'm shocked - but sarcastically so. Maybe in 7 years time it'll become a golden-oldie, in the same way She Don't Like Jelly is for The Flaming Lips. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?
