Saw them 18 times in different countries all over Europe. Really wanted to see them at their last gig in LA, but I could't afford the trip. Still miss them so much.
To think that these guys have kinda made it big in the music industry and still had to work 9-5 jobs during their breakup shows that there's no reward in this industry anymore or whatsoever. I understand some of them do it for the passion but you gotta eat at some point... So much respect for those guys.
***** It doesn't sound like they earned much money anyways. If your worst financial decision was buying a Mercedes, then that isn't too bad unless he was referring to a SLS which starts at 221k.
Depends how big you get and how you manage your finances. Some people end up broke and some people invest the money they made into other streams of income. Ryan used the money he made to buy a studio and now produces other bands from his home which is cool
At first I thought this interview seemed kind of odd- then I realized these guys are just really down to earth & not trying to act a part for the interview- they're just being themselves. It's really rare to see that.
I never knew he was in a band! I only saw him in Moustachette the short film by Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. I just figured he was an actor, now I have to go listen to his stuff!
Same here, except I doscovered he was in a band when I started watching a few Yellowcard videos and realizing the guy looked really freakin' familiar. I then searched Moustachette again and rewatched it again, to find out who he was.
And LP is honestly the sickest musician out of all of them too. They're all really talented but you know it's his passion because he continued to pursue music even when everyone else found normal jobs.
Ryan plays in New Found Glory as a touring musician and still does solo gigs. Longineu plays as a session musician and also for the band New Years Day. Not sure about the others though lol hopefully they invested their music income into something sustainable for the future. Sean Mackin has a pool and plays golf a lot on Instagram so he's prob doing ok
4:41 One time in Leeds when opening for Less Than Jake, Shaun ran to the front and tripped over a strap and fell forward twatting me on the shoulder with his violin bow
I liked the album with fields and fences. Feel like people disliked cause it sounds more matured. Like he was saying people decide who you are as an artist. But real spot real. Loved a lot of yellow cards songs.
Mark is really good at shouting, and since when is his voice SO deep lol. Also when did Ryan have his vocal cord surgery? I saw them in '06 and they were really good. Damn that that was a long time ago... I feel old af.
@goldwincs from a professional musician...lp would wipe his ass with travis barker...travis barker is a good drummer but lp is a drummer that someone (like me) who's been to music school and seen it all can look at and say "wow...that guy is a monster player"
Nah man. As much as I love and respect Ryan, he would've never fit in blink. His style was way different from most of the pop punk artists plus now he's more of an ambient/acoustic guy
