Alright peeps, we are all excited about the new album that is coming out sometime in the near future, but let's not forget what some of us started on, the 30STM original album and some of the old school shit that reminds us of the happy days. This thread is designed for the old school people who want to post again, current and old people that want to share their old school stories, schwag, friendships and what not.

So, post away.

Even if I don't like the Old school/new school thing, I cannot deny that I'm a little nostalgic of the early years.
Times are different today. Mostly because we are more and more over here.

The "old" have to learn to share. The "new" have to learn to accept that there was a history before them.

I know that this thread will be slashed in piece by some. SO, I'm happy to put my little answer before it'll happen.

Thanks you, Fusion to put a dreamy smile on my face in this early morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hmmm well I technically classify as a 'current' person I guess as I only finally signed up earlier this year. However, I did start with original Mars album so I am feeling a little torn. So can I just be a coldie? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

A lot of us have read this board for years, and just not joined until recently. Myself included.

I think that there is a lot to be gained by everyone sharing their thoughts and experiences across the spectrum here.

Oldschool is...
...when you know that buying this shirt for $32.95 is totally odd, because you could get the original design from mr. 7corners via pm for free. Eric should totally sue them lol.

Does it count as being oldschool when you actually know who is 7Corners is and remember that design being posted?

Haha, totally! But I think I'm not the one to apply the 'oldskool' tag here anyway. Just stumbled across this and though it was funny how some things end up.

Same thing happened with an Australian Echelon design - it ended up on hot topic or some shit.

Furthermore to oldschool memories - one of the first ever threads I read was by Diane and it had pics of her doing promo. She was in the pics.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

WHAT, that means I'm an oldschooler now?!?!?!?!?!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Or when it was virtually impossible to get a hold of the unreleased tracks, because you'd be flayed if you asked for them?

i'd step it up some and go as far as to say, "if you remember the board being red and hardly user-friendly" for the win. i STILL for the life of me can't remember my original username.

I guess I am middleschool then? I do remember getting shat on for asking about the unreleased tracks and I remember a time when the Euros kept to their Euro threads in Echelon and hardly ever posted anywhere else. Hahaha. Then we ventured out and the boards were never the same. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hey, it's a thread that actually made me log-in here again. I think I've posted here maybe a small, small handful of times? Anyhow I tend to just lurk here instead of jumping into threads that go on, and on, and on about who knows what. But a thread directed at Old School Mars? I'm up for posting.

The first time I heard 30STM and got into them was when Capricorn hit the radio back in 2002. I instantly loved it. Being hard into other rock/metal acts like T00L, A Perfect Circle, and others back then I didn't get around to checking out Mars any further until I saw them play at Lollapalooza 2003...that did it. I was hooked. I immediately bought their album and couldn't stop listening to it. I loved the vocals and the layered sounds of that album.

Needless to say a few years later when "A Beautiful Lie" was in the works I was anticipating that album in a huge way. When I heard it though, I personally found it to be quite a "moving on" from the heavier, layered sounds of the first album and more of a raw, fitting-in-with-the-present-bands type of sound. I still enjoyed the album to a certain extent, still do, but it was a far cry from the original work. Even now when I throw their music on it's the first album. I still support the band and catch them live whenever I can (I think I've seen them 5 or 6 times now? 2 of those before ABL) but I definitely long for their old school sound.

With all the new activity going on, it seems I remember reading somewhere that they were going to go back to their older sound or revisit the first album in a sense, so that has me anticipating their music once again in a big way. One can hope. We have enough fast-paced, almost punk/emo sounding acts today, that sound so much the same. I'd love for Mars to stand out again like they did back in 2002/2003.
