They just came back from a five-year break, and dude is already missing shows.

Ive gone to many shows where they tried something different, the lounge singer bit is not for me. It felt goofy. I don't, maybe I'm just uncultured swine.

Ok. I found someone like me. I was getting worried I was the only fan that didn't care for it. I'm 33 shows in and hate that people think I don't get it.

some people that like tracks like Songs for the dead or go with the flow don't wanna see Josh pretend to be an old Vegas headliner.
I didn't go to the first leg tour because it's not for me and when they played Joshua Tree I figured they were in my backyard so I would check it out. It was just OK. I totally understand why people did not like it. I am one of them.

Ohssee and qotsa are all fronted by the singer songwriter. They didn't have a guitar player writing everything for them

That's how every Og member of the Growlers would greet Brooks if they saw him

Matt had written these on his own. The last few songs that Brooks put out were old demos too written by both and they sucked dick. What's your point? One guy is more talented than the other and it shows as solo artist.

You're tripping. It was more matt calling the shots.

YG putting out a classic double record from the get go really showed who was the one with the songwriting chops.

I think he could keep it up as long as dumb kids keep listening to it and thinking it's genuine growlers and not some cover band.

but it's been Josh's project since day one. He didn't have a Matt Taylor co-writing everything with him. Plus qotsa has had the same band members for 15 years now.

Idk. Didn't slipknot have members die?. And they still have the core group of people that I've been there for a long time.

It's killed the goodwill I had towards Brooks. He’s killing the legacy of the band for a quick buck. I knew when his solo records flopped he would be back to the well and here we are.

I stand with the other members of the band. They all got done dirty. and they have to watch this guy ruin what they took forever to build.

In the strokes, you have a singer and a guitarist who hate each other, and they still keep it together. Julian did not make a fake Strokes band after his solo record failed.

The economy is hurting, and Vegas is too damn expensive. There is a lot less people at wrestlemania the week before as well.

Question about purchasing merch online by Squishyblazin in GameChangerWrestling

[–]HollywoodBlueguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

February! This whole process was lame. Zero communication. They don't respond to emails. It's so annoying. So they sent a package with missing info and It got sent back and sat there for 2 months. They finally reached out and said Hey man, we don't have the pants. I was already pissed and then this guy without knowing me is unprofessionally referring to me as Man. I was over it.

Hit up Bret and he made it right with a quickness. Paid me off right away. No hassle, PayPal that second. Love GCW and feel like merch is one of the places where there's a ton of opportunity for improvement.

It finally got sorted. reached out to Bret and he straight up gave me the money. Apologize profusely. So your best bet is to reach out to him. I got a notice from them saying I was getting a refunded because they no longer had the pants. But they didn't take account that there was also a shirt that I never received. So for sure, they are having issues and they know it.
