oakland Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I thought it was terrible, but I never wrote a book so who am I to complain. I might have a copy if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddieruckus Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 probably would be a little too much, but nothing fucks with this kid, he even said he has a stomach of steel because when they distracted him they made him watch 2 girls 1 cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest genericinsight Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Great book, I loved it. though really, I think you should just buy it and read it and see for yourself if you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I enjoyed reading the book. It was anecdotal throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I thought it was a good book. I think it helps if you are a little older and recognize some of the things he talks about. I remember try.fail.try., but never knew he was the vocalist until I read this book. Same thing for the zine he used to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 There was a thread a long while back about this book where I sort of knocked it and some random dude registered on the board solely to jump down my throat about it. It was pretty silly. Regardless, I just started reading Evolution Of A Cro-Magnon by John Joseph (singer of the Cro-Mags) over the weekend, and this book completely fucking mops the floor with Ronen's book and pretty much any other musician biography I've read in years. And I'm only on his teenage years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, since I'm more "well-known" than the majority of people on any given message board, I can't have strong opinions on things.

New brunswick is fucking awesome. house shows, grease trucks... what more do you need? The traffic is the worst I've ever seen it anywhere. Also, my car was broken into and my CD player was stolen in the dead of winter 7 hours from home with no money. It was a shitty day to say the least (although, the night before I saw Thursday, Mewithoutyou and Circle Takes The Square). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I personally wouldn't take a bad thing/bad day that happened somewhere out on an entire town/city but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedaykinx Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 i went to college in new brunswick, and while the traffic is horrendous, making it near impossible to get from class to class in two different cities, i love it. new b will always have a place in my heart. i love going down there and hanging out with old bros. court tavern 4eva yoz!!

oakland Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 My biggest problem with the book is that it details events that pretty much happen to any punk kid in a band in some little town. I lived around the corner in Newark, Delaware during that period and pretty much all the same bands were around and, from the sound of it, pretty much the same people and drama. I'm stoked for this guy that he wrote the book. Good for him. But at the end I was just kind of like, "ok, so what?" And try.fail.try was not as big a deal as he makes it sound in the book.
