I forgot to do this when I joined... Anyways, I got into LP when I was 7, and I saw my brother watching the Faint music video on his computer. I really liked it, and since I was a smart 7-year old, I downloaded lots of other songs too (I hadn't figured out YouTube yet...ironic) to see if I would like them, including Breaking the Habit, In the End, One Step Closer, etc. I instantly fell in love with all of them. Since then, I've loved LP. Now, that was in 2003, but let's talk about the present. I was on Wikipedia one day looking at LP's underground CD's and I saw "MMM, COOKIES!" and I thought "Whaatt?" so I searched it up and found an article on LPA about it. I lol'd about some of the comments and the album and some of that stuff, but then I just put it off. But then I finally decided to give in and join the site, and it's been a great site ever since.
Lol, I remember the MMM, COOKIES! debacle. So much controversy for one little album. I supported it, saw the humor in it, and applauded the band for doing something out of the ordinary, but quite a few people were pissed off about it (after a few lackluster LPU CDs with nothing but live tracks) and a few people (not on LPA and who I wont mention) even became severe whiny bitches about it, and accused LP of betraying the fans etc. This immature whining eventually forced Mike to issue an apology complete with a "wow" on the end (from shock), and it was clear Mike was pretty upset over the reaction (if not even slightly hurt). Personally I hope he never has to do an apology for something the band does again. The whole debacle was silly and some people acted rather immaturely about it. But anyways haha, welcome to the LPA and thanks for officially saying hello!
I think the article was called "LPU 8 = WTF?!!" or something like that, and if I remember correctly, I think Luke started the article lol.
Wow I was wrong, Luke really DID lose his shit over the CD . http://www.lpassociation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28850&highlight=LPU8 But the person I'm referring to isn't Luke. There's hints of who I'm talking about in that thread, and no I'm not confirming who.
It's clear from that thread anyways, but oh well. Anyone throws shit at me I can be like "yeah but *I* didn't say it".
