EARSHOT Hanging It Up?
- Mar. 28, 2005
|
|
According to a post at AudioAggression.com, it appears that EARSHOT are no longer continuing as a band. The Los Angeles quintet, who reportedly left the MEGADETH-headlined "Blackmail the Universe" tour late last year due to a less than favorable crowd response, are said to have been dropped by Warner Bros. Records, and bassist Johnny Sprague has since joined the band SOLACE FOR NOW. To top it off, drummer Chas Stumbo signed a recent online posting at SOLACE FOR NOW's MySpace.com page as "ex- SHOT." No further information is available at this time.

We booed them offstage at the Denver Megadeth show (ironically they got dropped from the tour a day later, go figure). Earshot sucks.

I liked "Get Away" for about a week in the 9th grade, then realized it wasn't done by Tool.

At the Denver show, they started off with a couple of their own songs, but then after getting booed they did a couple Tool covers, then L Zepplins 'Moby Dick', then they flipped us off and walked off stage. Morons.

"you sound like a death metal fan"
Well, you got one thing right.
But being that Blabbermouth is surrounded by "death metal fans", you have reduced yourself to extreme silliness and smallness just by assuming that...
There's plenty of Gaynard James Peenan/Tool/-Nu-Metal forums on the net for you, and we could be sure you'll find yourself very welcome there. Adios!

Let it not be said that Destructo Dog does not love DEATH FUCKING METAL!! Viva La Cannibal Corpse!! Viva La Death!! Viva La Nile!! Viva La All The Other Great Death Metal Bands!!
Don't get me wrong, I do like Tool, even though a lot of the Tool fans I've met are total sperm sockets. And I've never heard these guys, but I just thought I should stick up for my beloved death metal...

To quote my lifeskills teaher when I was in boot camp/jail
"Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya"
I'm glad Exodus replaced them at the Megadeth show in San Francisco because Earshot and 12 Stones are fucken lame blatant rip offs of Tool and probably a bunch of other bands.

you black/death metal fans are some of the angriest, hateful sounding jackasses. this band sucked. so what. they were good enough to get signed, put out a couple of records, then fail. AT LEAST THEY TRIED. i'm sure they've accomplished far more than any of you combined, tool ripoffs or not. calm the fuck down.

you guys are harsh. I can think of 100 other bands I would rather have heard are breaking up. THere is much worse than these guys.
I would call them a more radio-friendly Tool sounding band.

You're so right. Ditto to everything you said.
I always thought Earshot's two albums never got the best of the band out of them. There was like 4 songs on each album that really displayed what they could actually do. The rest of the album was way subpar compared to the few good songs. Which in turn made the albums weak as can be. Saw them live opening for Sevendust and they sounded alright but played a very very short set. The band opening before them played as long as they did if not longer.

I've listened to alot of music that doesn't sound anything like Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem, or Pig Destroyer. So, after listening to both 'Two' , and 'Letting Go', I'd put Earshot, Crossfade, Breaking Benjamin, and Chevelle in the same place...the circular file.
If I want diversity, i'll listen to YOB, Porcupine Tree, or Augury. Thanks.

Death Metal is all "Roar Roar Snare Snare" (to paraphrase someone who posted before me, needs to clean the fucking shit out of their ear canal. Anyone with at least VAGUELY working eardrums knows better. And I'm tired of hearing the "all the bands sound the same" argument. Anyone who can't tell Cannibal Corpse from Death from Nile from Morbid Angel from Deicide from Obituary from - you get the point - has no business posting on a metal board in the first fucking place, and should see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist post haste.

...they never broke up. I won't sit around and try to push one of my favorite bands--you can like 'em or hate 'em and I could care less.
But I have to say that I don't consider myself as a 'sperm socket' so much as a 'sperm faucet' of sorts. Speaking of which, I think I'll go fuck off and "turn ye olde tap on"...

Earshot are not the only poseurs who ripped off Tool.
The 2 greatest offenders?
1. Chevelle (Maynard is still waiting for his royalty check guys)
2. Breaking Benjamins (What's worse then ripping off Tool? Creating a single that rips off Chevelle! These guys are pitiful)

I love metal with all that is in me, but one of my favorite discs from 2004 was Earshot's "Two". Of all the albums I keep going back to, this one tops them all. Earshot is an awesome band, with incredible music, and some of the best lyrics ever. To tell you the truth, the music really truly speaks to me. I really do love this band, and I'm glad I stopped being so closed-minded to non-metal music. I used to listen to only metal, but I was only depriving myself. *sigh*
I really hope Earshot is still together. I want to hear more.
"Something's wrong,
Trying to conquer these fears I thought were gone.
And it's been so long, I'm dying to live in a world i dont belong
I cant wait for someone to hear me,
And wait for someone to touch me.
And wait forever to be told,
I'm forever alone...
I cant wait for someone to feel me,
And wait for someone to heal me.
And wait forever to be told,
I'm forever alone...
On my own,
I'll show myself what it means to be alone.
And the tears i cry are washed away.
All the scars are my disguise.
I cant wait for someone to hear me,
And wait for someone to touch me.
And wait forever to be told,
I'm forever alone..."

dude learn to quote correctly, as i said nu-metal is rap with guitars,not tool. i just said tool sucks.
and i have listened to them and i like only 2 of their songs. but yes i have heard other bands who mock tool for reasons unknown.
earshot, ill have to say i like a few songs from them as well but wasnt that impressed.
but sparticle, if tool was so respected and so creative, tell me why they arent a band anymore? last i seen, parts of the band went on to make a prerfect circle(another band i dont care for)

are indeed still a band, like them or not. Sure, some members have other projects, but they're still together. And if all goes well, there will be a new album later this year.
As written earlier, I don't push anything that's considered as being subjective, which music definitely is (though many people on this site seem to think otherwise). I'd sure hate to come off as that Head guy from Korn, objectifying personal leanings and myth as law.
