It's good but it's not Gallows, should have changed their name imo

Yeah, when one person leaves a band the remaining four members don't count.

This is fucking sick, can't wait for more.

well I think that depends on if they're going to play old gallows stuff, because if so then no they shouldn't change their name, by if they
aren't, then yeah they probz should.

Should've got Noel Gallagher to be the new frontman.

This is fucking sick, can't wait for more.So if U2 continued without Bono that would be cool beans?

I'll be lucky to get one. It is terrible.

Jealousy isn't a particularly attractive character trait oldgregg.

You're not really comparing Frank to Bono, are you? Not really? Surely not.

:P maybe it is terrible, that's why I didn't post it.

He was the lead singer, if you can't see that replacing the front man who had a heavy British accent with a Canadian completely changes the dynamic of the band you're kidding yourself.



Pretty much this ^. I don't see how they can't play old Gallows stuff but I also think it's going to be weird hearing a lot of the stuff being performed from Grey Britain due to the nature of the lyrics, I mean a Canadian singing "Great Britain, is fucking dead" changes the whole tone of the song. I understand it's probably a heavily influenced business decision as much as anything but I would have bought/attended anything with these guys in it regardless.

Look forward to hearing more though.

I didn't say that the dynamics wouldn't be changed. I was saying that you just can't say "they're not Gallows anymore" just because Frank left.

They never really played Crucifucks much, either.

If other hardcore bands are allowed to change singers and evolve, then I don't see why we can't grant Gallows the same right.

You're not really stupid enough to bring subjectivity into an issue that you originally labelled as black and white.

Comparing their fame is irrelevant, retarded and defeats the purpose of your initial argument.

HOWEVER, if we're diverting off the straight and narrow, Frank Carter has done more for music in two albums than Bono has since 1987.

Oh, and this song is fucking awesome.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 31st Aug, 2011

Uhh...sorry, but the only one "comparing their fame" is you. As a matter of fact, if you Ctrl+F "fame," the first and only instance of it coming up is your post. There will now be two more thanks to this post, but it's only because you've brought it up.

Wow. I just got fucking owned.

I'm not sure if that's a stab at me being a U2 fan or not, but w/e

It probably does. Still, if you can survive such a crippling ordeal then surely anyone can.

We're not really getting this worked up over a 40 second song are we, gents?

It was pretty alright, but it just didn't sound like Gallows...

dream_brother

dream_brother said on the 31st Aug, 2011



It doesn't sound like Gallows because:

1) There is now a Canadian bloke singing instead of a guy from Watford.
2) Frank Carter left because they couldn't agree on the musical direction of the band, which implies why it sounds nothing like Gallows.
3) I like turtles.

But seriously. It doesn't sound anything like old Gallows, but that probably justifies the parting of ways.

I guess the lads had an inkling it'd be much harder to start back at the bottom again (and from that perspective, fair enough. Gallows are huge and they worked hard to get recognised under that name). Would have liked a change in title nonetheless.

i likes the new gallows ... its really hanging on in my mind.

I do appreciate the analysis, but I was able to work out why it sounded different...

I did enjoy this and it does work, so hopefully the album is good, but I also hope that Frankie's new band sounds more like the Gallows of old. Still have extremely fond memories of their SW2010 set. Absolute cracker.
