"Untitled" - Effects of Drunk Driving.

Click on the Simple Plan premiere, it's a pretty good video. I know a lot of people my age don't think about the consequences of having a few drinks then getting behind the wheel. *shakes head*

On edit: These guys aren't the best band in the world, but the video is good. Watch it on mute. :D

I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight

And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I've made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

18. Actually I haven't taken the time for this trip, yet.
If you locate a nice one fairly close to the FUNDAY location ~ please PM me with the information. I think it would be wonderful if we could stay at the same hotel :pals:

2. Good message, but an UNBELIEVEABLY horrible band.
Probably the worst band in history.

6. If you want a video with the same message but an actual good band...
Watch the video of Thursday's "Understanding In A Car Crash". They're an actual GOOD band, unlike these crybabies from Montreal.

12. I'm listening to the song right now.
A very radio-worthy song that never got the chance.

Thursday is a very underrated band.

23. Not as good as "Cigaro".
B.Y.O.B had one good part, where Serj sings "Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time...", I liked the guitar riffs in that section. Otherwise, it was a pretty middling song.

The first time I listened to Cigaro, I was in my car, and it was on Q98, a local rock station, and I just started POUNDING my steering wheel to the beat of that song. Then when it ended, I yelled to myself, "That kicked SO MUCH ASS!!!!!"

25. Hell yeah!
The only thing I didn't like about "Cigaro" was that it was too short! I could've done with another minute or so, that song kicks sooo much ass! "Toxicity" is still one of my favorites too.

And Serj's voice in the song kicks ass, he makes that part!

26. His voice is indeed one of a kind.
It's so different, and yet so condusive to the music.

And I agree, that song should last more than 2:13. Although I guess they figured that if they made it like, 3 1/2 minutes long, people at concerts and listening to it would pass out from headbanging and going apeshit to that song. It can induce quite a workout.

27. Agreed!
I did a gig on one of the rock stations and that was THE most requested song for the longest time. It just makes you feel like you want to either beat the shit out of someone or headbang until your brain falls apart. They're definitely an awesome band!

7. Hi Sweetie,
Great message! I remember lots of times, as a kid, getting in the car with my Mom and being terrified. This was long before drunk-driving laws. Thank God these laws are in place now!!

Love you!
AFSCME girl

10. hey you!
It sucks things have gotten as bad as they are these days. :shrug: Oh well, what can ya do? Only thing we can is to make sure those that have been around us drinking don't get into a car while we're with them. My friends and I make it a point to pick a DD before we leave!

Love ya! :hug:
