Alas, the Kiss Contest is Over!!!

["The Freq"]

First off, congrats to the winners Garden of Bedlam. I'm sure there are great things about to happen for you with the Kiss concert. ;-)

For my band who really had a long shot to even be in the show, had a blast tonight playing for the finals. Great crowd and response and that's all that matters. Our fan base "the Amazing Flat Heads" came to our rescue and we love ya for it!!! For the show tonight we played two different songs from our first round set. Not many bands played different songs which I found strange but it didn't matter to the winners. They won repeating a song they did on Monday, so they got 'er done.

NOW, yes, you guessed it.... > the fun part. <
Anyone see Cheezie Smurfy standing on the side of the stage during our performance? Now that was damn hilarious. They're just like little kids, stone faced, trying to look mean and powerful and intimidating but instead looking like the "Village People". Without a word of a lie, they stood there like lard buckets trying to throw our game off. Didn't work did it? Come on. That just makes us play better. I LOVE that kind of stupidity |O|. Of course another fun part was Dr. Phil, (the 2nd nutbar drummer to try and get at me this week) decided to plant his ass at the side of the stage also and yell constant verbal crap at me. Note to Phil: (another avid reader of my forum) You will NEVER throw my game off while trying to start a public brawl. It just makes me laugh and I'm sure you saw me laugh. ;-) I'm not going to make a scene in public for your own amusement and there was no way you or the Smurfs were going to derail our performance, and ... you didn't ;-)

As I predicted, Smurfs used a public venue to try and center the old Freq out. Funny part is, I was already out of the building on my way home. |O|
Now, what is worse, me writing comments on a forum about you or you, looking stupid to a packed bar singing about me. My vote? You guys singing about me and looking stupid |O| That's PRICELESS. There's no way I could have sat through your set without getting a migrain so I left. I'm sorry. Was that bad manners? Ole Freq is always on his game ;-)

So did Freq and Flat Stanley over power the Smurfs? Of course we did. First, we got in the battle, then we got in the building |O|, then we got on stage, then we played and made it to the finals, and then we got to play on stage with the Smurfs while they looked really dorky. Did you notice the people coming up to us after our set complementing our songs? Nah probably not as you were too busy hi fiving each other and kissing each others asses thinking you got the better of Freq. |O| NOT.. We got all of this done without the great Smurfs f**king it up. You tried but alas Freq still remains true to himself and Flat Stanley has gained some fans and respect for sticking to our game plan. It's the perfect scenario. Here's the best part and this point is for everyone. Gsis Murphy actually sat through 4 of my bands songs and I didn't have to listen to any of theirs. I'm so blessed.

Ah well, enough of that crud. I had fun despite all the dumb childish antics of Smurfs and Doc Phil. I just laughed and laughed and laughed. Strange how laughing gets people all anal eh?

I got to meet some great musicians, hear some solid bands, NO not Cheezie Smurfy, and best of all, report my adventures on my forum for all to read. HA!

Screw G'sis Murphy. untalented idiots. This battle just shows that even with connections, they can't win anything. You gotta have talent and a good attitude to win, maybe some day they'll learn that.

I didn't attend any of the days but Rob from the SMS has kept me updated. Congrats to Garden Of Bedlam, great band full of talented and good people.

Well, I was there and witnessed the class act Gsis Murphy. I'm being sarcastic of course. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you get boycotted there by that band telling the bar owner you were a bad influence and would cause trouble? All I saw was your band being nothing but pro. What I saw of Gsis Murphy was a band forgetting the soul purpose of the event and using it for a personal sour grapes showcase. In short, they wanted to start something by centering you out.
Freq you guys did great. Some bands shouldn't have been in the finals and that was apparent but for the most part it was a good show. What I'm really enjoying is Gsis Murphy crawling back into their cave, sulking that they didn't put a dent into your performance Freq. Hardy har har.

Thumbs up to Garden of Bedlam.

["The Freq"]

Well said Hbomb and by the way welcome to the forum ;-)

Floyd, I've already heard about the Smurfs little rant about me on stage from a few people. Like I mentioned, I didn't stay for their performance but what I was told was that there was a lot of booing in the back when they started it |O| For some reason they think I don't have friends ;-)
I'm just proud of my bandmates in Flat Stanley and exbandmates in Wishbone who put up with a lot of shit to play that stupid bar for this contest which was totally caused by the one, the only, Sleazy Murphy, the ethics police. Flat out, we knew we weren't going to win so our goal was to grace the stage with the forefathers of Drama Rock, Gsis Murphy and teach 'em a lesson. Never mock a Freq with a forum.. |O|

Sorry Smurfy, The Freq is a "21st Century WINNER"

[floyds machine]

News Flash. Here's video of the great Gsis Murphy live. |O| This shit kills me. |O|

["The Freq"]

I love that video |O|

[Finger_Bang]

Awesome show Freqy. I love your bands songs especially the last one with that cool drumbeat. Ya gotta teach me that. Your band guys love to jump on stage don't they? |O| Totally fun to see. Michelle heard on the radio that your band finished third. Did you hear that? Not to shabby for a boycotted drummer |O| I was hoping you were playing your lime green drums but I guess with so many bands, one drum kit was best. Best drummers were you and the guy in Blues Harvest. All the other drummers that I saw had zero dynamics. It was like bash, bash, bash. That gets old fast. People seem to miss the subtle stuff. We left before the drama queens played. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction. The lost anyways so that's all that matters.

So Mic and I will be over next week so save some time for us I have goodies too. ;D

xxxooo

[quartermass]

I'm in total agreement with Fingerbang. You guys pulled off a super set. I can hardly wait for your CD. Some bands weren't my cup of tea but some were very good. Wishbone to me, was disappointing. They didn't seem together. The guitar smashing caught everyone by surprise. Seem to be shooting for the bad boy image since you left. That display Gsis Murphy pulled off was way out of line. They just thrive on looking like absolute morons. It's an event that has so much positive going for it and they have to make it personal and negative. I heard the booing. They deserved it. I felt bad for the young band Nixxon Dixxon when they started off with no guitar sound. Lots of potential there. You've got a good group Glen. I wish all good things for you and the guys.

["The Freq"]

Hi Fingerbang and Quartermass. Thanks for the compliments. Lots of folks liked our material. We decided not to go heavy and did more of our middle ground material. I like contrast and I think people enjoyed a break from constant heavy stuff. I saw you both zip across the dancefloor at the show but I was hanging with Gary from Grooves Music and a ton of others at the gear storage area. Too jammed with people to get around. Sound wasn't as loud where I was so that was good for my old ears. |O| I've heard it from a few people today that they said we finished 3rd but I've not heard it on radio or seen it in print. That would be cool. You're still a loser in 3rd place though |O| There's that LOSER word again. I actually thought there were some good drummers playing.. Far better drummers than guitar players. I know lead guitar playing is a dying thing in modern rock but some need to at least try to learn to play leads. I found that the most disappointing thing of the battle. I can't comment on Wishbone as I didn't see them play but I did hear people were let down by their performance until guitar smashing thing. That's Jeremey for ya.. |O| Nixxon Dixxon were good I'm just not a fan of the 80's metal sound. Poor guitar player didn't have his amp on for the first song.

Quartermass, I agree about the show being a positive thing. ;-) A few tried to ruin it for my band but also another band. That's the way it is when a lot of bands are in competition. Yes, I've heard all about Smurfs pledge to Freq's Allegiance. |O| Quite a few have sent messages about it to me. It's only hurting them not me so I just keep typing. I've even gained a few Gsis Murphy converts as friends after their little act went too far the other night. We'll see if they can guess who they are. Smurfs will self destruct. It's coming :-)

Quartermass, the new recording gear is here and as soon as my new operating system is installed, and a few other things, Flat Stanley's CD recording will continue. ;-) We're behind schedule but a summer release looks very promising.. maybe a bit sooner. I have some demos if you want some. ;-)

GREAT SHOW FREQ I brought my friends from work and we just caught your set. You were just walking on stage. Jim's got an amazing voice. Put me down for a CD for sure. I wasn't crazy about all the heavy stuff. There's a mentality around that dictates that anything less than heavy is not good enough to win. You could sense it that night so I thought the cards were stacked against your band and Blues Harvest. My opinion of course. KISS is by no means heavy like the winner of that contest and I think an odd match. Kiss is rock and roll. There just seems to be some confusion about that.

I love the new Gsis Murphy nicname Band of Chins. See their photos on Sootoday? You're right, double chins. Probably from eating their own bullshit Flat Stanley whipped them good.

You were probably one of the only drummers to do an off time style drum beat during the show. It just caught our ears. It was the second song. Very cool beat.

That's great if Flat Stanley placed third. I'm just glad you guys got the chance to have some fun.

[floyds machine]

Hey Freq, you'll have to do something showcasing the Band of Chins |O| Sounds like everyone is in agreement.
