FUCKING AWESOME BAND, aw3esome live show

great fucking tortured songs, fabulous wah wahh guitar, I mean fabulous. great fucking band. LOVE THEJM.

they are at least 40 times greater than TONS of the bullshit that gets heaped nonsense praise around here (korn, sum 41, green day, etc)

Gentlemen is a near perfect album.
for anyone who has ever suffered the fear of decidig whether a relationship is worth staying on or leaving.
tortured! Great fucking band man!

i enjoy Congregation and Gentlemen, but it's not very often i play them, i like Duili's vocals, that staccato kind of flow is unique but may be at the same time the most alienating part about their music

schizophrenicroom 01.16.2009 11:11 AM

i love that song "congregation".

Derek 01.16.2009 11:15 AM

I like Afghan Whigs.

narlus 01.16.2009 11:30 AM

some good songs:

'retarded'
'sister brother'
'turn on the water'
'conjure me'
'the temple'
'honky's ladder'
'what jail is like'

Rob Instigator 01.16.2009 11:34 AM

turn on the water is a fucking great song.


I love when he sings about his depravities, like on Fountain & Fairfax

Angel, I'm sober
I got off that stuff
Just like you asked me to
Angel, come closer
So the stink of your lies
Sinks into my memory
She said baby, forever, but I don't like to be alone
So don't stay away too long
Baby, forever, well it's Tuesday now
I hear him breathing inside of her
Let me drink
Let me tie off
I'm really slobbering now
Let it stink
Let it dry up
It's impossible
How?
Angel, forever
Don't you promise me what you cannot deliver
Angel, together
I'll be waiting for you on Fountain and Fairfax

'my curse' is solid too...forgot about marcy mays singing that one.

Rob Instigator 01.16.2009 01:29 PM

that My CURSE song depresses me something aweful.

sarramkrop 01.16.2009 01:48 PM

I always liked that song that had a video with guys decking each other in it. I've bought the record it came from and I don't remember any other song off it.

sarramkrop 01.16.2009 01:49 PM

the singer was HOT!

Rob Instigator 01.16.2009 02:53 PM

Their EP "uptown avondale" has some deeply delicious motown covers on it.

Rob Instigator 01.16.2009 02:57 PM

when I had long hair I looked eeriely similar to Whigs bassist John Curley, but with glasses.
(on the left)
 


I even had my beard the same way. weird. when they released gentlemen I was at University of Houston in the Student program Board and we booked the Whigs for a show (which was fucking awesome) and when I was setting up the P.A. I got to meet them and take some pictures, but when I went adn asked John Curley if hee neded help with his bass stack, he and I looked at each other and it was weird man. same height, build, hair, beard, everything. just strange. we did not talk at all and left each other alone! ha ha ha!

dopplegangers are strange!

ZEROpumpkins 01.16.2009 05:00 PM

I like Be Sweet.

PAULYBEE2656 01.17.2009 06:38 AM

debonair is a great song and i own gentlemen so there!

therealglenstyler 01.19.2009 08:27 AM

there is/was, black love is my one. was just revisiting it this weekend, very beautiful.

NWRA 01.19.2009 08:49 PM

Retarded is great.

GeneticKiss 01.19.2009 10:17 PM

I liked them until all their songs started sounding the same to me.

Rob Instigator 01.19.2009 11:19 PM

You my Flower is a fucking great song
