Alkaline Trio Band • Page 89

Every time Matt acknowledges that Trio is still a thing, I get excited haha.

 

Me too ! It may not be close, but that picture and those words from Matt mean something.

 

Ok everybody! I got to this sooner than expected.

This final bracket prior to the champions bracket will cover Remains, Scraps, and Damnesia! There are a few songs on Remains that will not be part of this bracket because they have appeared in other brackets to this point. These songs are Hell Yes, Old School Reasons, and Sadie. Live and acoustic versions of songs that have already appeared in other brackets will also not be a part of this bracket. Overall, there are 16 songs from Remains, 2 from Scraps, and 3 from Damnesia that are part of this bracket. There are a couple cover songs (Heaven, I Held Her In My Arms) that I've included.

Anyway, it's a big batch of songs!

Here's Round 1:

While You're Waiting vs. Dead And Broken
I Remember A Rooftop vs. Warbrain
Buried vs. Hating Every Minute
Fine Without You vs. Jaked On Green Beers
Metro vs. If You Had A Bad Time

Round 2 matchups will look like this:

Match 1 Winner vs. Don't Say You Won't
Rooftops vs. I Held Her In My Arms
Match 2 Winner vs. Olde English 800
Match 3 Winner vs. We Can Never Break Up
Match 4 Winner vs. Dead End Road
Wait For The Blackout vs. Queen Of Pain
Match 5 Winner vs. Heaven
Over At The Frankenstein Place vs. My Standard Break From Life

Round 1 begins now!

Not sure why there's covers on here when one of their originals wasn't included.

Also, this is by far their best cover:

 

Fire Down Below is not on Remains.

 

Okay?

Neither is Heaven, Olde English 800 and quite a few other songs that are included in the round. It's not just the album Remains. More... the remaining Trio songs.

There's even an odd number of songs so it'd be easy to add. If it was a cover I wouldn't care but it seems weird to exclude such a good original. It's a Japanese bonus track and was not included in the Agony & Irony bracket. Easy to overlook.

 

Okay my bad. I thought we were doing a Remains bracket here.

 

No worries. Round 1 is all Remains but round 2 will be a bit more of a mix.

 

Current Totals:

While You're Waiting - 6
Dead And Broken - 1

I Remember A Rooftop
Warbrain - 7

Buried - 2
Hating Every Minute - 5

Fine Without You
Jaked On Green Beers - 7

Metro - 2
If You Had A Bad Time - 5

 

I wasn't involved with making the Alkaline Trio brackets up to this point, so I can't say why it was overlooked when we were on Agony & Irony.

This bracket is primarily Remains, but we've discussed in the past few pages how we'd include the original Damnesia songs.

I don't really care about covers one way or the other. I know in the S/T compilation bracket a cover song was included so that's why I tossed in the covers here.
