Thanks for the support, but the name calling is not the issue. Nobody has ever been crucified here. When anybody is reduced to whining and making up name, I'm already way ahead of that person. I was only referring to being told I was wrong about "something," as ambiguous as you can get. But since that was never pointed out, I'll take that as nothing. And you're right, nobody would have the guts to say anything like that to me personally.
Why would the title of the topic change? It's the name of the single. At first I thought it was a bit creepy hearing The Proclaimers talking about a 17 year old girl. But this has really started to take its own stride.

I haven't even been here that long and I enjoyed that video. "This is why I hate you. Right here..." I've never seen anyone that riled up in a message board. God, watch out when penance goes into Shutdown Mode. haha

I'd try to calm down a little bit. High blood pressure is a b***h.

Well, not that I approve of Ron's commentary, you have to realize that Artie does have a history and people are aware of that history when responding to what he says. As for you, you insulted people first, so you get no sympathy. I wouldn't say that I maliciously insulted people as much as I presented an idea you and others weren't happy with. I understand I was probably in the wrong forum for it. I probably should have presented it in Hot AC/Triple A instead of Alt/Rock. With that, I apologize for any offense I have caused anyone in my short tenure on this board. But, Artie, after watching that video, I'm sadly going to have to withdraw my endorsement of your antics. Good luck, bro. F**k the haters. That said, I actually heard this song on Pandora today. Very quirky song. It should definitely go Triple A in my book, not Alt.

If I recall correctly I wasn't happy with you basically suggesting that if I liked Shinedown I was a "redneck or teenager" with a "maturity or intelligence issue". It could have been better put.

It could have been better put. I wasn't suggesting anything. It was just an observation. I have actually been to both a Shinedown concert and a DMB concert. :) Both were very fun shows. You could pretty much get second-hand high at the DMB show. haha

For my part, I'm a little ticked at having my intelligence and maturity insulted.

Well, I'm not too sure you'd find anyone here who would say maturity is a strongpoint of yours. But we all have weaknesses.
I agree that this has a Triple A sound more than Modern. But I could see multiples formats giving 17 a shot.

I am sure many will see the irony in discussing your immaturity in a song topic about an underage girl.
Whine, whine, whine. Weep over everything.

And now you're picking on underage girls? Have you no decency?

By the way Art, every time you try to snipe at me, it's ironic. Cause it's you.

Actually in reality I was just quoting Lost, the scene where Ben explains to Locke why he killed him and Locke says "I was just hoping for an apology".

I keep reading this thread thinking there might actually be something related to The Proclaimers, but it reads like some sort of junior high chat room.
Anyway, I was thinking about this the other day after checking this out, and it seems like Only by the Night tracks have become cool to remake. I mean, you have that really crap club version of "Sex on Fire" being promoted now (and a bunch of live renditions), and then there's the not so great Pixie Lott version of "Use Somebody" (and at least a few live renditions), and now there's this. Do you think these artists are all just connecting with the material, or is this an attempt to cash-in on KoL's unexpected breakthrough, or a mixture of those and other factors? It just seems a bit surreal that Kings of Leon would be one of the biggest artists of the moment, but I think that's fair to say.

You mean the scene where Smokey says he was hoping for an apology. ;) Yeah I saw Nickelback cover Use Somebody, with their guitarist singing instead of Chad.

I don't know how anyone could cover Sex on Fire without it sounding retarded.

Wotuneed, there must be a way to filter the others out. Every one of my posts references this song.
I could see Foo Fighters taking a shot at Sex On Fire and make it respectable. But that's one of those songs that will be a Modern gold classic forever, so that's a lot to ask to attempt that one.
