Gsis Murphy Begs for Love

["The Freq"]

I just happened upon this post on a rock music forum recently.
Try not to throw up ok?

Of course we all know this band has to beg for love and recognition
and it it true the majority of us know they stink but yet, someone haunts yet another forum looking for Smurphy Love. |Ol...
Now, in my opinion, this "anonymous" poster is one of the band OR
possibly one of their mothers or other relative. haha

Here ya go folks.. I warn you.. it's pathetic.
The post is directed to the creator of a well known rock site.

Dude,
You cover Badside, Quite Frankly, and Stillbroke but you totally ignore one of the best local acts in this region, (who happen to be friends with Badside). FYI Gsis Murphy has been playing for over eight years and they pack in the bars.
Sure they play cover tunes but so do half of the bands you discuss on your site. They also have a myspace page and play almost every weekend.

I am dumbfounded as to how you bypass the success of this band. Have you never heard of this band? Everytime I go to Docks and they are playing there are solid crowds. Is it because they are not a metal act? They play a variety of 80's rock not much different then Badside, and they lay it down. Ask the musicians; the women?

I also heard that they are working on an original album.

You should add Gsis Murphy to your site. They have clearly earned a spot.

Thanks for the comment! I just never saw Gsis Murphy as "heavy" enough, so to speak. However, they're really good, musically, I'm very impressed!

I've came across their page a lot, believe me, but they've just never came across as "metal" enough. There's other bands around town that I'm fans of musically, but haven't made their way here either.

Believe me, no offense or neglect is meant in excluding them, I just try and keep everything as "metal-centric" as possible. But I do like Gsis Murphy and should go see them one of these days!

Back up tracks?
Fake Marshall stacks?
Get your story straight brother.
Need we get into a discussion about the professional use of music technology? I guess you should cross out one quarter of today's live acts who use tracked vocals or midi (including metal bands) because they suck right? It's a shame that some people still live in caves. They do have real equipment; they are talented musicians; they play good tunes and they have made it out of the garage unlike yourself.
I think you should get your eyes checked and while your at it get the wax out of your ears too.
The Murf rocks...

BARF BARF BARF BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF!!!!

I pissed myself when I read that and now you can too!

Best band in this region?? you're joking right?
You haven't taken your head out of your own ass have you, and actually listened to other local musicians? If you had, you'd know Gsis Murphy suck.

What is the point of using technology only to play bad cover tunes and brutal crap original music of which we know Smurfs excel at that. lOl

Oh yeah by all means ASK the the musicians what we think of Smurfs... and what???the women? What women?
Last I heard this band continues to be the laughing stock of the local musicians. Go into a music store and see what we're all laughing at. haha. We were laughing about you just last week
at a local music store. ;-) As for the women? Relatives, wives and mothers don't count no matter how much you paid them to lie for you. LOL. Be honest... this is what you call credible proof of Smurphy's greatness Mr. Anonymous #1? Now that's some funny shit.

Here's the most laughable quote by this juice head..
QUOTE..>I am dumbfounded as to how you bypass the success of this band. Have you never heard of this band? Everytime I go to Docks and they are playing there are solid crowds.

Dumbfounded??? You mean DUMB...! Success??? What f*ckin success? They're a cover band!
Has anyone seen their gold record ? Anyone seen their Grammy?
Anyone seen their million dollar contract? Now that's how you mark success you moron. They have nothing.. repeat it 10 times without slobbering on yourself lOl As for playing to "solid" crowds at Docks.. Oh brother. The bar attracts the crowd.. not Smurphy. Pleeeease get with the program. In case you haven't realized this but Docks packs with almost every band.. DUH!


OOH.. Gsis Murphy has a myspace page.. PINCH ME..
Earth to Anonymous... Every band has a myspace page and
they're free. ;-) Does that make Smurphy special? Kripes.
Come on now.. admit it.. They're lame.. say it.. we all dare ya lOl.
Have you seen their website or Myspace page? It's a bought template on their website. It cost them 60 bucks. It's NOT original.
It's lame like the band and why have a myspace page if the music you play is cover stuff.. LAME

Gsis Murphy... great musicians??? BARF! Come on. you can't be serious? What are you listening to? Keith a great guitarist?
ole one scale one style Keith is far from great. He's great at intimidating people with his lip like he's a god but that's about it. Of course, that horseshit never worked on me ;-) You might want to go on You Tube and research "great guitarists" and get your head out of the Smurphs ass and LEARN something.

Bottom line kids, this band has to beg, brag and lie to gain fans.
It's horrible. They have not advanced musically in near a decade
or talent wise in over 2 decades. With posts like this one and yes, others like it, it's no wonder they're the
joke of the local music scene. They cut down garage bands but the fact is, garage bands are original in both sound and style, even when they do cover songs. Smurphs just don't grasp it nor do they try and understand it. Open your eyes lard boys, you're alienating yourself with your own big mouths and posters like this (Anonymous # 1) moron. |O|

They may not have "earned" a spot on that other site Mr. Anonymous but they definitely earned a spot my my forum
in the Garbage Pit. |OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOl.


I must say, this post I found is definitely my laugh of the month.
Keep 'em coming egomaniacs. That's some funny shit.

Hands up.. who can hardly wait for a Gsis Murphy CD?

Hear that??? It's big time laughter.

The Freq LIVES ON !!!

That dumb ass has posted similar posts on other forums. I swear that was posted on Musician's Central when you ran it Freq. Sounds like a band member to me also. That's the problem when you're a band like the Smurfs. They don't go out to see other bands so they figure by default, there's no one else to be compared to when you don't know they exist. What a brilliant way of thinking. >NOT<


I do think you missed what they meant about region Freq. I do believe they meant region as their own yards. In that case, they are legends in their own yards

[Finger_Bang]

|O| it's like they have a planned script they copy and paste everywhere. That's so funny. Is there actually a musician around bold enough to say they were influenced by Cheesie Smurfy?
I wanna meet 'em. |O| You can tell it's a band member especially the way they defend themselves from the fake amp and backing tracks comment. First of all, I'm sure half the flock that follows them hasn't a clue what a Marshall stack is or a backing track. They don't even know a good band when they hear one. We also know that no serious musician follows the Smurfy Experience and would actually defend them to the point they know the technology they use. They normally slam them for it like the other poster. It's a band member making those comments. It sounds like their singer doesn't it? Either that or the drummer |O|
Now if they used technology sensibly, there wouldn't be this uproar.
Freq's band Flat Stanley uses keyboard sequencing and no one has ever commented on it to the negative. They don't use it for harmony vocals, guitar parts, sucky baby noises or whining like the Smurfs. You're so right Freq, they're begging for recognition.
They don't want to earn it by hard work and dedication.

[quartermass]

Good grief that's one pathetic individual.

That exchange actually happened on my blog (saultmetalscene.blogspot.com) in a post from August. Here's the link to the post, where it's led to a lot more replies since: www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17129431775623512&postID=9012036659447812873

Now I am the last person in the world to insult or degrade any bands. I appreciate Gsis Murphy's talent and they are a good band, just not in the genre range for SMS coverage. I can see where some would be angered by what they said, I just saw it as some simple band promo at first. I have personal preferences and dislikes (most of which I don't make public) but I won't start hurling insults at everyone.

Maybe it's overkill to promote a band on a page that doesn't deal with their genre, but at first, I saw it as harmless, until the arguing commenced. I really didn't see the need for it, but I do thank everyone for not dragging me into the pit and making me into a bad guy!

I actually heard from Tony Marcello from Gsis Murphy, he assured me that this isn't his doing or anyone in the band's, and heavily complimented me and the SMS, and my neutrality and respect towards them and the "situation". So whether "faithful reader Mike" is in the band or not, I can't say, but as long as I don't get personally attacked by anyone, I won't worry myself too much.

Nah. No one has a problem with you. You said exactly the right thing. Your forum is for a particular style of music and that poster needs to accept the fact Cheezie Smuphy is not in that vein of music. You also want your forum to have a certain "feel" to it without altercations. Beware though, the Smurfs love causing a stink under hidden identities.

The Smurfs are however well loved here on my forum only because they read my forum loyally........(everyone wave to the Smurfs). |O|
Well, ok, we can't stand them.. I can't lie. It's nice of Tony to contact you to iron things out. Problem is, it's the same old tired routine they used many times before and it goes back to Musician's Central.
They'll start a fight, watch it and laugh and then give the innocent speech to the mod or in a forum post to justify their righteous existence. I swear the b.s. on your forum with the Smurfy lover is a repeat performance I've actually seen more than once.
Staying neutral is the perfect way to deal with your forum Rob so don't think you're the bad guy. On my forum,, haha, it's a whole different story ;-) Musician's Central trapped me with my hands tied when dealing with them and other goofs. On here, it's a different ball game... to a certain point. Let's just say it's a bit more edgy. :-) There's a reason for the "Garbage Pit" section on my forum and they're it. In my opinion they aren't worth being put in any other section. I know.. I sound like a grouchy old man haha.
Actually, I'm an old sarcastic old man.

Any bozo can see a pattern here. What a bunch of smurfy drama queens. Why can't these idiots just learn how to play and shove the attitudes up their asses.

[Sgt. Bilko]

oh no not again.

The drama saga recycles itself. This band is an insult to the local music scene.

[floyds machine]

What music scene? ;D Is there one?

[Finger_Bang]

|O| Not sure lately.
