Reading this brought back so many memories for me and TGA levels of nostalgia. I graduated college that year. I remember hearing “45” for the first time and loving it to pieces. I finished my college finals the day before the 45 video shoot, and driving out to Asbury Park for it by myself because I couldn’t miss it. Had an amazing time, the show they played was great. After I graduated, I stayed at my school for the summer subletting a friends apartment, interning at the mayor’s office, waiting tables at Olive Garden, applying and interviewing for my first post-grad job and falling in love with Gaslight’s discography all over again in the lead up to Handwritten’s release. When it finally came out, my friend Bri and I laid on her bedroom floor and listened to the album front to back. Such a great song, album and summer.

It's Gaslight Anthem week in my ongoing "My Life In 35 Songs" series. I wrote about "Handwritten." My Life In 35 Songs, Track 22: “Handwritten” by The Gaslight Anthem

They started tuning down a half-step when they were recording Louder Now, so I guess they just got comfortable with it, and it became an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situation both live and in studio. I think they should’ve tuned down again around the time they were touring on Tidal Wave, and definitely during the 20th anniversary shows.

They sound so much better tuned down - it's wild. I wonder if anyone has suggested it over the years and if so why they didn't do it?

this all has me so excited and spinning them a lot again. wild that Mark's all-time crash out is looking like a huge net positive for the band (and props to them for paying it the amount of attention it deserved, which was zero)

I don’t think tell at your friends is that good compared to any Fred or Fazzi album

The biggest snoozer whenever I’ve seen them is “You’re So Last Summer”, but then again I also don’t think it’s a very good song

Just seeing him do his classic tapping and harmonic stuff makes me emosh... sounds like home. Really hope he stays around and ends up writing and recording with them.

This little jam Fred and Nathan do during the first half of this video is so good [MEDIA]

(Nerd alert) I’m just excited for their live guitars to sound fuller/more aggressive again. That’s been missing since Eddie left. Something about John’s live guitar tone sounded off to me.

*SPOILER ALERT* Fred will sound *much* better than John (and Adam, of course).

Gonna be really interesting to hear Fred do all the post-2010 songs. Can’t wait to hear how S’Old sounds with him playing John’s parts

Was that your first choice or a Last Resort?
