... me too :'D

I'm proud to be the one who started it.
Knew it'd show up soon enough, so I decided to do the honours :')

I was gonna do it before anyone joined, but I KNEW someone would start one. I didn't want all the topics to be started by me xD

TBO<3

<3 this band..anyone pledged for anything from their new album?

I'm not sure if i'm going to pledge or not.
I want to, but eh.
Might get the signed album.

I hated the idea of pledging to have their attention for a day.
So I pledged for the worthwhile (in my view) things.
Pledged for a thank you letter, just because most people I know have had them say 'thanks for being there for us' and I haven't. So I want it too.
Then I pledged for the Riotsquad Gig and the Listening Party. Cause their MUSIC is why I love them. Not going to Thorpe Park.

*gonna get so much hate for that*

Haha nah i get you!
Im tempted to pledge for the gig, mainly cause its in the Barfrly, and i love that venue
Defo will for the album once ive got enough money :')
But nah, i get where you're coming from...just as much as i get why people would pledge for stuff like that too

I get why people wanna go Thorpe Park with them.
Dude, the thought of Gavin hanging upside down like 'aaaaaaaaaaaaah' makes life worth living.

But yeah. I don't like how competitive it's made everyone. :/

I'd like to pledge on something... Once I have enough money to spare. ¬¬

Mhm yeah...like if it makes people like "Oh yeah, im so much better than you, i get to go to thorpe park, have a house party with them etc"
Its like no.
But ya'know, if people arent gonna rub it in other peoples faces then id say its pretty much all gravy xD

Yep! Totally


I just wish they hadn't done stuff like that. Cause people are always gonna use it against other people.
Should have kept it as just, you get to go to a gig for free or something, if you pledged to helping the album.
And have a fixed amount everyone had to pay. They're all about equality among fans but that makes that impossible.
Whatever, too late now. I'll always love them :')

oh my god, this.
I was just like; introducing money to this makes equality impossible, get it right.
pissed me off so bad, but I still get why they're doing it

anyway.

I'm glad somebody agrees with me. I always feel awkward on this subject cause everyone (usually the ones with lots of money) moan at me for moaning.


They always seem to miss the fact I BUM THE HELL OUT OF THEM lol xD

lmfao, yeah.
I mean, I've got money and all, but I don't want to spend it on things like xbox, when I can just play Bob on xbl.
Some of the things are silly.

My money is going on Young Guns merchandise and The ATL Hustler club right now.
As much as I love TBO.

I spent so much money going to see them at Cardiff's big weekend, oh god.

I've spent near to £3000 on The Blackout now. It's my own fault but omg i'm so stupid. xD

i love these guys
i havent pledged anything though because i refuse to give any satisfaction to the 'riotsquad'
but still, i get to see these saturday, my 15th time .. anyone guna be there?

Awh don't hate on Riotsquad. They're lovely. It's other people who have shit talked them that give them a bad name.
Honest. <3

Im not really quite sure what the whole riotsquad thing is? *noob*
Can only say that i listen to tbos music xD

It's just a little street team thing.
Gavin has basically taken over though.

The girls who run it (Steph and Kelly) basically just sort of, try and sort out street teaming missions. I think when TBO start touring they're gonna start getting some people to street team their areas to promote shows and stuff. x

i dont hate all of them obviously, because i dont know them, i just hate the people who think they are a better fan than anyone else just because they are in the riotsquad and they travel everywhere/spend lotsa money on them, and the fact that theyre facebook says its for the real fans n that im not hardcore enough to be part of it, whereas ive been a fan since early 2007 and probably always will be yano?

Ahh right okay, thanks xD

THE FACEBOOK ISN'T RIOTSQUAD.
Sorry I have to put that out there.
It's not run by the actual Riotsquad AT ALL.

I don't even pay any attention to it.

I have traveled a lot for TBO but I don't brag. People who tell people just to get them to go 'oooh' annoy me so bad.

is it not? then they are forgiven && yeah i mean i dont travel for the boys but i see them whenever i can
