first off, nickman is queer as hell. if alkaline trio sold out why would they have just put out a split cd with hot water music and went on a small haloween tour with small brown bike? finchguy... you don't know what you're talking about either because finch is more radio friendly than alk3 so why would you want to kill them in the moshpit? c'mon guys, seriously, there's nothing wrong with a band getting big and getting more fans if they're still all about the rock. bands can't make enough to survive the rest of their lives anyway no matter who they are unless you're aerosmith. all the money that record companies pay for recording, promotion, distribution, concerts, house bills for the bands when they're on tour... the band has to pay it back... they don't make money, they're just all about the rock and love to make music and tour. when the band is over, they all get jobs. vagrant charges 10 grand to the venue to book alk3... for 10 bucks a ticket you need to get 1000 people to the show... that doesn't happen very often. the only money alk3 makes on tour is from merch. and the venue gets the rest of the money they don't make on ticket sales from liquor sales... so don't tell me they sold out. good mourning has a close sound to maybe i'll catch fire. get it when it comes out, it should be great if they do a good job mastering the rough demos i've heard.
