Wow, I never thought i'd see the "It is a Mystery" emoticon on these forums.

Which Hipbaser-SA member is behind this?

Edit: I like how you're leeching the image directly from SomethingAwful. That's REALLY classy, guys.

I'm guessing it's either Stormlobster or a lurker.

There has been a lot of buzz about that on this forum lately. I hope it's true.

unless i've been getting everyone wrong, it's only been said as a joke. as we know it's never been played. just about everyone new to the base seems to be asking about it lately. case in point, it was more about poking fun.
then again, if they do ever play it - i hope everyone is silent for the entire song - out of respect. i think it would be really powerful for sure.

okay, too much seriousness for 5am.

[StandingOvation]

ive heard 38 years old maybe; fiddler's green no. I also think that the strippers union shows were indicative of things to come, playing Small town bringdown and other earlier songs. We'll have to see.

edit - haha, old maybe.





Im sorry, that was lame

Not really on this topic, but related to "Fiddlers Green". The Hip had a music industry "showcase" show at CBGBs in New York City to release "Fully Completely". It was an early show to catch the music executives before they commuted home. My buddy and I took the train up from Washington, D.C. and walked in about three songs into the set. They played about 7-8 songs from FC and maybe in homage to the site, rocked them hard and almost in a punk style. As soon as they left the stage I made my way to the "dressing room". It was about 10 feet by 15 feet, right behind the stage and a real dump. The room was filled with the band, Jake Gold, a couple of wives, and a couple of friends of their's in some band (can't remember their name). I'm 6'-05" and about 250 lbs and the door to the room had no lock so they asked me to hold the door closed to the 30-40 people outside trying to push their way in. All of the sudden, we heard the crowd outside start to sing "Fiddlers Green". It started out ragged, but got stronger and better as they all picked it up. The conversation in the room stopped and we were all quiet, listening to the song. The band all kind of looked at each other, except Gord D, who was kind of looking at the ground, shaking his head and muttering "wow". I've never heard the boys do it live and I don't expect to, but that was a great moment.

Wow, blackie. That anecdote made even my eyes well up a little. Imagine how the boys must've felt sitting there in a dumpy NYC dressing room, out of their home country, as realtive unknowns in the US, hearing a gathering crowd improvise such a sentimental ditty, written as a tribute for a friend's loss in the first place.

That's remarkably compelling.
