inkman Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 There is some of that in play, I suspect. But I'm not above or beyond acknowledging that they "sold out" (or however you want to put it). I don't (won't) begrudge musicians their right to do that. It's hard to get paid out there in the world. There is selling out and there is doing what vanilla ice did. He took it to a whole new level. The Goos curbed some of the metal aspects of their sound but they have always been a melodic catchy hook kinda band. Quote
Drunkard Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Like I said, those who dis the Goos without qualification are ill-informed, and would do well to learn some local music history. Exhibit 1: When I went to see the Goos during this era, it was a 2:1 guys to gals ratio at most shows. Lot of skaters, lot of punks. I'll admit that if I had to choose I'd listen to their old stuff over their new stuff but that's fairly weak even by the "new punk" standards. It's much more upbeat and happy music geared towards surfers and skateboarders than the original premise of punk rock although they definitely have a ska influence from what little I watched of the video (I made it until the second whiny backup chorus, I just can't standy whiny vocals but the main singer was alright). I'll echo the sentiments of We've though and while I don't begrudge them for trying to make a buck it's not going make me like it, listen to it, support it, or think it wasn't produced for the sole purpose of booking arenas full of teeny boppers. Personally if I'm going to listen to ska punk I'll take the Voodoo Glow Skulls 10 times out of 10. Edited September 30, 2015 by Drunkard Quote
That Aud Smell Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Good stuff, fellas. Good stuff. I see that many here know a think or two about the Goos. For that, I glad. Quote

Weave Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I'm pretty sure the contest decides the goal song. I seem to recall seeing somewhere that the fan vote is part of the decision. Can't find where I thought I read that. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Loogit the fine print. Fan vote is part of the equation, not dispositive. And I heart angry pA. Quote

darksabre Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 The illusion of choice. I might not like Kim anymore if she condones these kinds of shenanigans. Quote
Weave Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 6 pages here on the subject. This is why they do it. What more cost effective interest generator could they have come up with/ Quote

That Aud Smell Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Oh, man. So great. Good amount of silliness up in here. Is this the Eichel effect at work at? Quote
X. Benedict Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Honestly, I think the entire town is thinking too narrowly here. Why have just a goal song? How about a full blown Bollywood goal dance like at some wedding in Lahore? @ 3:25 Edited October 1, 2015 by X. Benedict Quote
WildCard Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 How many teams actually have a goal song anyways? Quote
X. Benedict Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 How many teams actually have a goal song anyways? Nobody has a bollywood goal dance, nobody. Quote

North Buffalo Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) If they can get the ice girls to dress up like that and dance like that, I could go for a Bollywood theme! Edited October 1, 2015 by North Buffalo Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Actually, it's from 1959. The Buffalo Bills specific version was recorded in 1987. That's the year he was referring to. I might not like Kim anymore if she condones these kinds of shenanigans. Sure you will. Someone will post her latest flirty Tweet pic on the forum and all will be forgiven. :wub: Quote
SwampD Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 The Buffalo Bills specific version was recorded in 1987. That's the year he was referring to. I know. I was just pointing out that it wasn't a marketing jingle. It was an original song with the words rewritten. Quote
