smailtronic Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Those Kickstarter reward levels are almost as bad as the PPDM tracks, and they're already over half way to their goal. Will pass on the kick*ter and wait to pick up a copy once it's released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will pass on the kick*ter and wait to pick up a copy once it's released. Did this kickstarter just go live?Now they're 2/3's of the way to their goal. Good for them, but yeah, the rewards are kinda crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsoncomplex Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Seriously, sit on the Kickstarter page and refresh every few mins...insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 brilliant way to promote their kickstarter. I'll give'em that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 holy crap. at 24,000. They'll have in this in the bag by the end of the hour. $30k in one hour. If the pledgers all follow through that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 scratch that. 25k. They got an extra 1k in the time it took me to write that post. Edit: 27k. This is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriss Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 geez. 800 away from the goal. Has a Kickstarter ever reached such a high goal in such a short time? Mind blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsoncomplex Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 $30k goal met in just over an hour. That's got to be some sort of record.. I bet that band is blown away by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 under an hour. like, 58 minutes or something crazy. Bet it still keeps climbing to a certain extent for a few more hours too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetJerryWine Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Stoked. I was literally the second person to donate, and I'm just blown away by how fast it climbed from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 i really underestimated how many people would not care about this band anymore. geez. i guess they shoulda pressed their vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 it's still climbing too. in the last two minutes another 2k got tacked on. they're up to 37k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 New song on, uh, Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/fiveironfrenzy Sounds alright, Reese's voice has aged pretty well. Still don't understand how this many people still care enough about this band to donate to a Kickstarter with such awfully-priced rewards. Maybe they can take the extra money and press up some of their back catalog. 49 PEOPLE DONATED IN THE TIME IT TOOK ME TO TYPE THIS. I AM A FAST TYPER.

mclz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Holy shit, this thing went up today and is at $56K already?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriss Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 two hours and eleven minutes ago. it'll probably be up to 70k by midnight. I wouldn't be surprised if this tops out at 100k by the end of the 60 day period. If that's the case, someone close to them needs to put that bug in their ears about the vinyl re-issues.

element101 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 They've always seem to have a crazy following. Not surprised by all the support. I think I read from asian man that they sold 2500 copies of the dvd through pre-orders which surprised me. Good for them. the pledges are pretty ridiculous though.

000000 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 i expected this to meet the goal, but holy crap, i didn't really how many people still listen to them/would fund this. new song is pretty good, and i'll totally buy a new album haha.

hudsoncomplex Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 $68,481 PLEDGED OF $30,000 GOAL I've been watching this thing all night. Yep. I'm a loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donlombardo Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think someone watches walking dead... told ya! Man, I'm happy! edit: Scott replaces Keith... I wonder if FIF is at all into having their discography on vinyl, because, they could do a kickstarter like this, and the entire discography could get done in a second. I'm getting the feeling that they're just not that interested in having them put out at all. I'd love them to do a FIF box and a BS2 box, kind of like the one Lagwagon just released, that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
