I'm sure some will say "dude who cares" but it seems relevant to me, especially considering how big of BOLD fans you both are.Larvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718862644913152012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-39034097085879673242009-02-18T21:54:00.000-05:002009-02-18T21:54:00.000-05:00Awesome review.I totally agree, the Bold 7" is one...Awesome review.<BR/><BR/>I totally agree, the Bold 7" is one of the most important hardcore records of all time.<BR/><BR/>so FUCKING good.<BR/><BR/>I still listen to it all the time.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506709039417029188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-71336684289382721242009-02-17T02:47:00.000-05:002009-02-17T02:47:00.000-05:00"the WHOLE time""the WHOLE time"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-56334451064963842342009-02-17T02:45:00.000-05:002009-02-17T02:45:00.000-05:00Perfect review, I wouldn't change anything.

Many times I've played "You're the friend I don't need" to everyone I know stating that the solo was the best guitar solo ever made (I don't care if it's not Batio stuff, TC3 definately played more interesting solos and leads.

BUT, the Looking Back CD I still listen to today. The intro to Hateful is awesome and Today We Live gives me chills whenever I listen to it. The music is amazing and the recording is probably their best ever. It's such a different song, I don't know if it's my age or just the time period it came out, it's just great every time. <BR/> There's a lot of crying about the band's drug use, (from hanging out with IA i've heard some truths) but who flippin' cares at this point. Band reunions seldom have the band still believing in the lyrics, it's about the show and having fun. <BR/> On a funny note, Blackspot was on Tour in '93 and we played with Into Another 4 or 5 times. Drew always had his wizard outfits on. He was THE ONLY GUY in swarms of HC kids that had 3 OR MORE hot chicks following him around the entire show. How many hot chicks did YOU GUYS get to tool at a time after a show?SFaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091147145258791697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-56015719111448030042009-02-15T23:55:00.000-05:002009-02-15T23:55:00.000-05:00I listened to some One Sided War recently and felt...I listened to some One Sided War recently and felt like what I heard is what Bold should have sounded like if they continued instead of the Ep.

I have to admit it took me some time to get into this release, but I seem to appreciate it a lot more now that when I discovered it in the late 1990s. Bold was the first straight edge band I got into and I would love to read more about them. At the time of listening to stuff like NOFX and Pennywise, the cover of 'Speak Out' really blew my mind as to how much music can move you with raw passion.<BR/><BR/>How about an interview with Matt? :D'Bridge Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11023770356064076061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-89902131956256283072009-02-14T20:15:00.000-05:002009-02-14T20:15:00.000-05:00I never was that into BOLD but I do think it's rea...I never was that into BOLD but I do think it's really cool that Gordo was able to write such a good and long entry about a 7" and what it means to him.
