And this is where you're supposed to tell us about it. :lol:
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Haha, sorry alan!

They decided to set up their equipment on top of a small building, locked the door and started playing the new song nice and loud.
The thing is that the entrance to the BET awards were on the street right beside of this building. and all the stupid rappers got pissed off and were shocked that this was happeneing.
Soon the police broke the door down and arrested them. Ahhh, what genious. :mrgreen:

AAF? they're famous for a song they didn't write correct? Just goes to show you don't need much talent to get far in life, or the record industry for that much

Quiet Jim. OLP has covered songs too. Remember? I don't think Alien Ant Farm asked for people to overplay Smooth Criminal. Just because they made it catchy doesn't mean they're horrible.

i am pretty sure they did as a joke and not to get famous just like ataris covered "boys of summer" and now that turned out to be the song that has made them "big" but they didnt even want to release it.

oh yea and also they all almost died in a bus crash last year and the lead singer wasnt supposed to be able to walk again so i give them much credit for coming back :nod: :nod:

go listen to the entire album, then say that. it was just unfortunate that it was a michael jackson song that got them famous. they deserve way more credit than they get.

that maybe what they're famous for, but they didnt want it that way. they didn't even release the song before it got popular. besides, you think making <i>that</i> song sound good doesn't take much talent?

It's source is bright and endless. She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams. And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt. Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism. I must crucify the ego before it's far too late. I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.

Michael Jackson let AAF open for them once and they decided to cover a song, sort of a tribute to him. Michael himself said he even liked their version.

And J-Neli, they have more than one good song bro.
