Copyright...?

Christian > Dave, IMO, from what I've heard with Matt.

when I saw MGB in 2001, or whenever it was, I arrived late and was happy to see what I thought was the soundcheck but it was actually just copyright. they would have been better off just playing the background music waiting for treble chargers set.

It's funny because the first time I heard Rock Machine on the radio, I thought it was Treble Charger. True story.

You all may laugh, but really, it was traumatizing.

"Rock Machine" was at the time one of the worst songs I'd ever heard and seeing them open for MGB cemented their shittiness forever in my memory. Here is how one forgotten classic was introduced in Tom's showy frontman voice:

 

"You guys like to get high?"

 

Audience screams

 

"Well this song is about gettin a little too high!"

 

It is rare that I will actually laugh out loud at band-shittiness, but this exchange put me right over the edge. Fuck, I couldn't wait for their set to end.

 

Let the rock machine roll, kids!

That is absolutely hilarious. My roomate and I quoted that EXACT line for about a year after they opened for MGB in Calgary. To this day he's really upset because he was really drunk for that show, and that quote is all he remembers from the whole night.

I didn't mind Rock Machine, to be quite honest, but other than that, I didn't like that band. The keyboardist looked like... well, uh, I'm not sure, but it was really weird, though I did like Christian's guitar skills.

You, your roommate and I should be best friends.

I have been looking for that Circle C album for years... cant find it anyways. I thought Love Story was genious, and that song Rock Machine was garbage... haha, but there is some really good stuff on the Love Story album... that band might have been okay if they put out albums more often then every 5-6 years though...

I think the cock bulge is gunna haunt the rest of my days ;)

[WinstonSmith357]

I was in the front row stage right of that same nearly pant-escaping cock bulge. The fu-manchu-ed keyboardist pumped his fist without mercy.

 

Oh that Rock Machine did indeed roll.

 

At least it was memorable...I forgot Treble Charger played until I read it in this thread.

 

That Calgary show goes down as my all-time favourite (which says a lot, he tours here often)...It was Matt's 30th birthday. Everybody sang Happy Birthday to him and then he played Strange Days. He also brought a handgun onstage...There was a mechanical bull and a couple of playstations on stage for people invited up from the audience.

 

 

Good times.
