you guys couldnt be more wrong.
Matt, you rock and I am so happy that you guys go this oppertunity. You rocked it even with the mic problems, and keep up the good work.

umm, i would just like to point out that thats not joe…its patrick.

ONE. Tell Fred, bonus points for wearing The Police jacket type thing. (The word of what it really is escapes my mind.)

TWO. I am REALLY JEALOUS. Kevin Bacon. Really jealous.

THREE. Your girlfriend is quite pretty, but I do say, I am quite jealous of her as well.

FOUR. I hope you realize in that Fall Out Boy picture, you’re talking to PATRICK – not Joe.

FIVE. You all were amazing at Live Earth. I wasn’t so keen on Adam’s vocals, but hey, the bass lines were breathtaking.

Wow, when you’re not whining all the time in your songs (or is that AFI, Fall Out Boy or the other interchangeable acts you sound like) you really are a self absorbed jackass.

You’re about as punk as Kelly Clarkson.

“Wow, when you’re not whining all the time in your songs (or is that AFI, Fall Out Boy or the other interchangeable acts you sound like) you really are a self absorbed jackass.

IN YOUR FACE!

The Concert to Save the Earth? All I see is TRASH left behind…to really save the earth CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR SELVES!!!

Even though Taking Back Sunday sucked, I commend them for playing for a noble cause. In the end, that’s all that matters.

Damn right, Jake, even though Hitler sucked, at least he was for a noble cause, vegetarianism and a hardcore anti-smoking activist.

Sound logic there, ya f’in twit!

alright, y’all are flipper outters.
yea i realize thats not a word.

first of all;you guys are just jealous your not in a famous rock band.

atleast taking back sunday is out there doing something about the wrong on the planet.

you and your lazy asses are just sitting here blogging about it. stop complaining get off your fat ass and do something.

i just ran three miles while you were here probally complaining because you are so unsecure with your self that you have to take it out on other people.

as for you matt and the rest of taking back sunday(who will never read this): keep being awesome. your doing great at it. =]]]

I AM jealous I’m not in a famous rock band. However, I’d rather be in a good one (Arctic Monkeys) than a whiny, self absorbed one like AFI, oops, can’t tell these bands apart, I meant Avril Lavigne … SORRY, Taking Back Sunday.

BTW, I’m going to run FIVE miles, ya lazy sod.

Try listening to The Clash, Ramones, Pixies, Replacements, Dinosaur Jr when you get bored of middle school faux punk.

no, don’t listen to the Pixies….overrated noise, if you ask me.

Jeff, as usual no one ever asks you.

it is hillarious how mad you (JEAlOUS) can get over a fucking blog.

how about you try growing up and getting over middle school? ok?

OMGOSHNESS! You met Kelly Clarkson?! That’s so awsome!

Whoever “jealous” is, I do hope you were joking about what you wrote about AFI.
Anyways, that picture of Davey and Matt is amazing, my two favorite bands…coming together…for a good cause…seeing all of the empty seats in New York just made me regret my west coast residence to the fullest.

It’s so amazing to see the 5 guys I look up to playing in such a educational event. You guys are my hero’s! I love you =]

And I had a dream ladt night about Projekt Revolution! hahah. It was the best dream I’ve ever had. I met ALL of you and you guys were amazing. It was way better than the dream I had where you all died in a plane crash. I literally woke up crying that night =[

arrgh. Bloody awful this band was. Bloody awful.

Makes me want to walk me plank just thinking about it. arrrgh.

And another thing. arrgh.

Watch me hold the microphone in this way. arrgh. And hold the bloody microphone in this other silly manner. arrgh. arrgh.

I eat those new twisty lightbulbs for breakfast Gore you ninny. arr-Arrgh. You and Clinton didn’t pass any…arrgh…environmentaly significance when you had the chance. arrgh. froggy.

taking back sunday might have been the lamest band in all 9 locales. and minus ten more points for the lousy performance. the microphone swing around the neck? cum-mon.

all in all = disapointing.

the concert was really amazing.
dave matthews couldn’t get any better.
Taking Back Sunday was however, an embarrasment, it was hard to even watch.
Vocals awful and you all need a stylist.
Matt, sorry but ur gf is gross, you can do so much better!
Great cause though!

Okay, Jealous, THE RAMONES? They weren’t punk even if they tried. Seriously, if you sit down and listen to them, they were meant for mainstrean consumption not underground punk.

anyways, Matt, Adam, Eddie, Fred, and Mark you guys were great. It sucks because you guys had TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. People couldn’t really hear how amazing you were because they sound guy for Live Earth sucked ass. Trust me, they sound guy made EVERYONE sound bad. Except for the Police because they were the big act.

Oh and ‘karma’, whoever you are, Linkin Park wasn’t as great. Chester messed up many times during ‘Numb.’ Even my cousin, who is three, was like, ‘Why is he messing up? He’s a rock star isn’t he?’ Although, I LOVE Linkin Park, they (Chester especially) messed up a few times.

Anyways, TAKING BACK SUNDAY is amazing.

oh AND, Also, the Black Eyed Peas were the worst. They cannot sing live because they too all messed almost every single verse. No offence to the people who like them but they were BAD.

gosh taking bak sunday use to be so much better! i’m dissapointed…

i love taking back sunday.

The Ramones aren’t punk? Are you fucking kid me Sabella? They only help star the whole underground 1977 punk scene @ CBGBs, and just because nowadays they’ve become more popular, they were never mainstream, back then they couldn’t even get their record played on the radio even if they paid the djs.

p.s. his girlfriend looks like Joey Ramone.

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/ 2001/yir/interactive/passages. gallery/images/joey.ramone.jpg

same bangs too!

oops the link below doesn’t work. try this one: http://i18.tinypic.com/4qfp3qh .jpg

TBS sucks worse than AFI. Shit I didn’t even think it was possible.
And I dunno what this crap about his girlfriend is all about, but who fuckin cares? Rolling Stone isn’t some gossip magazine so quit tainting the forum with your immature fights. I’m here to talk about the music, not about some ugly groupie.

gett over the fact he already has a gf people!!

All of TBS did an amazing job and they are all very handsome men who know how to rock even when the sound sucks. We all still love you.

that’s because everyone else in the pictures are worthwhile!

wow. he has a girlfriend…get over it.

anyways, you guys did great at live earth! cant wait to see you at project rev.

wow can some of you get any ruder? STOP being such fan girls. I mean I understand you all are probably about 14 and think every dude in a band should be with you, but thats not how it works. Its so annoying and rude. karma is a bitch, so please stop being so mean. taking back sunday is and always has been a fantastic band. I think they sounded pretty good. Since all of you are so quick to judge, why don’t you try performing to a million people with cameras in your face. bottom line is the girl that your are making fun of is probably really nice, otherwise why would he be with her? get over yourselves.
thank you

sadly i missed the tbs performance, which ruined my day, but they will always be the best band in my book, and i know some may disagree, but i don’t care, and i think that everyone has their opinions but sometimes they need to be kept to ourselves cause some of the negativity that people have towards them is ridiculous and immature so calm down cause TAKING BACK SUNDAY HAS MANY FANS, more than half a million to be exact, and all of the things that ANNOYED had to say was 100% true so all the negative people out there can keep yall mouths shut until yall experience what TAKING BACK SUNDAY experiences on a daily basis

P.S. I LOVE U TAKING BACK SUNDAY
(IF U EVER READ THIS)

i have somethin else to say, all of u people who spend all day makin an effort to talk down about people who r doin somethin with their lives need to take a hug drug and a chill pill cause yall ain’t out their in the world tryin to make a difference and helpin people get through their their days with music, for me TAKING BACK SUNDAY, and all of u out their talkin bad about matt’s girlfriend instead of applaudin TAKING BACK SUNDAY for their performing well for a good cause go eat some cookies cause yall hate the fact that matt’s has a life outside of music and has someone special to share it with besides u obssesed, stalkerish, immature fans or haters

I THINK THAT ABOUT SOMES UP MY POINT.

AND AGAIN TAKING BACK SUNDAY’S GREATNESS IS TOO HIGH TO SOME UP IN WORDS SO PEOPLE WHO GOT SOMETHIN NEGATIVE TO SAY CAN TURN THEIR HEADS THE OTHER WAY.

YEYAH!

ok 1st of all i missed d concert 2 so im pretty upset. but i saw d video of d concert and how it went! I am a huge TBS fan! i LUV them 2 death! I luv Adam d most of course! ok so he didnt have a good day that day! i noticed, he didnt sing all that good! but he has better days, that day just wasnt all that good 4 d band! but listen 2 anotr. 1 of there live concerts and u will hear a diff. and dont make fun of their girlfriends! they r w/ them 4 a reason! they r’nt whores or anything like that, how could u say that about sum1 u dont even kno. get over urself ppl. and give TBS anotr. chance! Much luv 2 my #1 fav. band who i will b cn live in Aug!

this is really funny..i’ll sum it up NONE OF U HAVE LIVES !

o im sure u have a life gaby

TAKING BACK SUNDAY ROCK!! MCR SUCKS!!

Uhm, Reese? Adams Vocals were awesome; you can hear the mic going in and out even when Adam was holding the note strong. Completely not his fault.

Its pretty pathetic that people have to tear others down on the internet because they dont have the balls to say it in person. To all the Tweenies that are jealous of Elle, and envious that they will NEVER amount to anything in their lives – get over yourselves, honestly. This self-endulged act of violent defamation is absolutely pathetic.
…its pathetic.

TBS = BEST BAND EVER!

matt’s girl might be the prettiest girl i’ve ever seen. so freaking HOT!

This concert hurt me TBS! It was pointless! Why you buy into this?

Loren, it’s not that peopel don’t have the balls to say something in person, but just where do they plan on meeting people they don’t know just to state their opinion? What you said really doesn’t make sense.

And yes, she really is a model. And yes, she does have a kid. Why do you think you have the right to judge her because of that? You know nothing about her or Matt for that matter since you’re bashing on the girl he likes and it’s just plain pathetic. She’s pretty, he’s hot. They’re a perfect couple.

alright, anyone out there can say i dont have a life because i am bored out of my mind and have nothin to do except be obsessed wit TAKING BACK SUNDAY plus post my 3rd comment up here but i dont really care but what i do care about is all of the negativity that a lot of u have towards TAKING BACK SUNDAY because i finnally found their live performances at the LIVE EARTH CONCERT and i almost wanted to cry when i saw how hard all of ‘em were workin, especially when they were turnin red from the heat, to make up for the SOUND GUY’S negligence and laziness or jus lack of info about bein a SOUND GUY, but whatever the case, i can prove that it wasn’t a lack of talent on THE BAND’S part because when they performed “MAKEDAMNSURE” u could hear FRED’S PART that should only be heard at the end of the sound in the middle of the song, so all of u who have the minds of MONKEYAS(my way of sayin monkeys) should watch their videos again and listen instead of jus hearin, THANK U.

I WANT TO JUS SAY I LOVE TAKING BACK SUNDAY FOR THE 3RD TIME AND STAND BEHIND YALL 100%!

!=}

I see your point sophie. I just think its really really lame that people bash people on the internet. Thats all.

& yeah Cams, I completely agree; youre right. It makes me mad to hear people say that tbs’s performance @ live earth sucked because in reality – it didn’t. Adam held his notes strong and matt, fred, mark, and ed pulled through 110%. It was completely amazing and they should get mad props for pulling off such an awesome set in such a wicked heat. People are pretty naive to take a look at them and so quickly judge the set having not taken in the circumstances (heat, sound difficulties, largest audience, etc). It was such a great set. I am so proud of them.

thanks loren, i’m happy that someone understands me, because it wasn’t TAKING BACK SUNDAY’s fault at all, so i jus wanted to say thanks.

AND AS ALL OF U KNOW,

I LOVE U TAKING BACK SUNDAY!

!=}

all i can say is that i wish i was there!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, reading more than half of these comments dissapointed me. Some of you guys can be complete assholes. Leave tbs alone. Yeah, they had some major technical difficulties ie: freds guitar was out of tune, the guitar was up too high at one point, you couldnt hear adam’s mic. That doesn’t mean you have to trash them. So what if Matt has a girlfriend? Shes gorgeous, get over it.
Damn.
Ok, i’m done with my little pissed off rant.
Thank you.
Sarah loves tbs.
yes.

all that band is are a bunch of emo boys that ahte their dads. however ignorant that sounds i dont care….so quit writing lyrics about your girlfriend that left you its already been done by the other hundreds of emo ass bands out there….have some creativity man.

Yeah, I mean come on, before insulting them, think how you would feel standing in front of so many people?
It would be nerve wracking, but they pulled through. They did an amazing job.
And don’t diss them because of what they write about. If you listened a bit better you’d understand them a bit more. Or maybe your just jealous that you could never hope to write a decent song :]
Oh yeah, and one more thing. Please define ‘emo’ for me. And yes, I know its short for emotional, but so many completly different bands get called emo nowadays it actually doesn’t mean anything.
Just defending here, not trying to be a bitch or anything.
But yeah, I think they did really well.

Yeah, it’s me again lol.
I agree with laura…
and derek…somethings up your ass.
They arent emo, and that’s not what all their songs are about, that’s mainly what their first record was about.
Take a listen, they are wonderful lyricists.
And how can they hate their family when they love them? jeez.

hey derek, y wont u go home and study more about music specialy emo coz i dont think u know nothing about it. ur labeling TBS as an emo band without even considering the fact that ur just nothing but a trying hard poser!!!!

P.S. TBS rock hard and are very much appreciated by us english. Rock On!!!!!

I looooove TBS.

u gues are auwsome for doing the live earth thing

wow. i cant believe how immature some people can be. but dont listen to them because you guys were awesome!!

Obviously Taking Back Sunday doesn’t suck too bad. You are reading about them, right? And get over yourselves. They’re famous, for a reason. Someone must like them…

And I agree with Reese, Matt’s girlfriend is a knockout. Wow.

adam is a knock out.. mats gf not so much tehe

DOES ANYONE HAVE THE SETLIST FOR T.B.S. FOR PROJEKT REVOLUTION
