universal has confirmed the 4th of march to be the release date of avalanche. go to the website here. thanks to scott for sending me the link. also, it looks like the second single will be released in february. no word as to which song it will be. in the meantime, weapon has climbed another 3 spots to 11 on the recently resumed muchmusic countdown. 1/11/2003 latest news.. well, i'm getting more and more news by the hour, thanks to everyone who's e-mailed me with information. we've also got different places saying different things about the avalanche release date. today newagesoldier (from our message board) received word from rich priske that the album would indeed not be released until the 4th of march. this is as official as we have heard at the moment, and this is subject to change. i have removed the countdown from the site because i am unsure of the actual release date at this point in time. i have also received several e-mails from people listening to the edge 102.1 in toronto, and they announced that the album release would be on the 10th of february. this information is false, as the 10th is a monday. the first newsletter from massacre in disguise was sent out yesterday. if you do not subscribe and wish to read the newsletter, i have put it up here. you can subscribe for the newsletter on the news page. also, if you are a hotmail user, or have filters on your mail for junk, you may have to check your junk mail folder for the newsletter, as it is a mass e-mail (to about 50 people at this point). that's all for now.. 1/10/2003 avalanche held back? there are rumours floating around that avalanche isn't due to be released until early march. once i get confirmation of this, i'll let you know, but until then, the date is still february 18th. over at the newly resurrected aph, they've also been saying that avalanche may have been mixed in 5.1 (i'm pretty sure its something that dolby uses), which could possibly mean surround sound. i have no confirmation of this yet, and again will let you know if i do get some. 1/5/2003 aph returns & site updates the aph is back! most of you received e-mails i'm sure, but those who didn't, you can find the aph here. see the previous news item for pavan's message to aopc visitors. i really didn't make many updates, just some small things here and there, but i moved many pages around on the server, so if you have any of the pages bookmarked, you might want to check to see if they are still there, and update your bookmarks. 1/3/2003 a message from invasion1 Sorry guys, but I don't think we'll be coming back. You can only take so much bullshit until the rest just isn't worth it anymore. I remember when we started up Matt told me to have fun with the site and if I'm not having fun with it there's no point in wasting my time on it. I've just run into one too many a roadblock with the hosting and fighting for the site is just not something I have the time or wherewithall for anymore. Although I'm not officially putting the nail in the coffin, I'd say it's a 95% chance we won't be back. If that is in fact the case, thank you to the following: Adam M. (for being my silent partner in crime) Jason (for moderating the APH and the Halifax bootleg) Adam (Moderating the board and hosting avatars) Bishop (Moderating, Tabbing, Recording Audio) Tim (Moderating the board, sticking up for me in the famous Weapon debate) Ev (Moderating) sLcPunk (Moderating) a better pain (Moderating) Aaron Hayes aka Gandalf (Tabs) Jordan aka Rorschach (Tabs) Taylor (Donating Posters for the AOPC contest) Daniel (Pictures, Concert Review) Courtney Stoiber Gregory Johnston (Wallpapers) Jeff Fujiwara (for saving those desperately needed images) Derrick Kennelty-Cohen (Wallpapers) E.B.

But to be honest with you I was against the whole crowd idea to begin with. My original idea was to do something that more resembled the Stones - Sympathy For The Devil, and after we wrapped the extras I think we got what I wanted. Performance videos rely on two things. Lighting (which we had a genius doing) and performance. I find that a great deal of those videos are boring because of the bands and what they do on film. Hopefully this will be a little more The Who live on the Isle Of Wight rather than “just another warehouse video”. As Matt Gibson will attest to, I was upset that people had come out and we had to let them go. We had had camera troubles in the early part of the day and there’s just no preparing people for the “film” experience when they’re not used to the fact that it’s all about standing around and doing nothing. Making actual films is much worse. Imagine months instead of just a day or two. After I took a look at the playbacks I hated it immediately as it looked like one of those Sum 41 type videos, which is a far cry from Sympathy For The Devil. I also wasn’t happy about losing the feel that you could plainly see it was a set and a shoot. In the film we shot afterwards you could very much see people hanging about and equipment and the crane truck and whatnot, very nice indeed. We got so much good stuff, in fact, that I think we’re going to do 3 or 4 versions of it hopefully and have one online that’s nothing like the one on television. That’s the goal anyway. I’m kind of glad actually that only 300 or so people came (I think 332 was the last count but it looked small in that huge place). If Ante and I had to make that call with 800 extras there it would have produced some pissed off people I would think. But luckily short notice and a bit of a trek kept the usual downtown location crowds away. Every time you do something like that in the city it’s just rammed because it’s central. That and you also have people who have no idea what it’s all about showing up simply because it means they get to be on TV. Once you leave downtown you don’t have that problem so much and it paid off on Saturday (no offense you guys, but I’m really glad that it ended up like it did. If it had gone the other way I might have been forced to do something drastic after I viewed the transfer). But thanks again to everyone that made it. To those who don’t suffer from ADD and stayed around to see how it all works, I hope it was just as educational as it was fun. And I also hope you learned that jumping up in the air and coming down on your knees on a concrete floor can only result in one thing. Pain. Dreadful, you’re not a young man anymore you stupid idiot, pain. Ta. 10/8/2002 new single debut weapon, the single from the upcoming album, is to be debuting on radio (probably CFOX in vancouver), wednesday, october 9. no time has been mentioned. according to the official site, you can also listen to the song there as well. update courtesy matthewgood.net. 10/6/2002 tune in! on monday, set your radios for your local rock station, and listen for the first single from the new album, weapon. in vancouver, supposedly cfox (99.3 FM) is supposed to be playing the song at 8 AM. 10/6/2002 update! i'm back, so hopefully i'll be updating more frequently again, and getting more info up on the site. yesterday, just east of the lonsdale quay in north vancouver, matt and the band were shooting the video for weapon with fans from the area as extras. fans that were there said that the shoot didn't turn out as planned, and some said they stayed late for the filming. i went down there late last night, but couldn't find anything going on. the tour has wrapped up, and i haven't received any reviews! if you'd like to contribute, please e-mail me at jeff@massacreindisguise.net. the rx has been taken down, and rumours have been flying at the other mg(b) communities on the web. check them out by visiting the links page. someone leaked a track listing for the album, and someone supposedly posted pictures of matt's home on a message board. when will people ever learn? that's enough for now, its all beginning to sound like a tabloid. i've got to focus on work, and how to get this place some more traffic. 9/20/2002 hold tight i will be moving this weekend, and therefore, i may not be able to update for a couple days. at least until i get some internet service to my new place. hopefully, i will be able to update soon. - jeff 9/15/2002 confirmed! matt himself has confirmed that the cancelled show will now be taking place at club denim. courtesy mg @ the rx 9/15/2002 lots of news! i leave the computer for 24 hours, and what happens? there's a lot of things going on in the mg-verse. and i'm the last one to report any of it. but i have a good excuse: i was out looking for a place to live, and i took my father out for dinner for his birthday. so happy birthday to my dad. tour: It seems the idiot at the U of G has somehow fucked up and cancelled the show today. I heard some half assed excuses on the phone today but I don't have all the info. But what I am doing is playing THE DRINK for everyone that wanted to come. So we moved and it will probably be dead quiet as no one will know I'd reckon, so enjoy. Unless, that is, you miss the metallica power ballad version of apparitions. Then I beg of you to stay at home. posted by matt at the rx. CAUTION:its been rumoured that the show is now taking place at club denim, monday at 8pm, but i would be careful if i were going. good luck to anyone who is going to the concert. album: there is also reports on the rx (although i can't find an official one, that weapon will be the first single from the new album (which was previously denied by matt.). the video is being shot during the current tour. if anyone has some official news of this, please let me know. we here at massacre in disguise have a pretty good idea why the video is being recorded right now (there's a lot of speculation), but that's going to be a surprise. i'm sure someone who knows will come along and ruin it though. =) well, i think i'm up to date. - jeff 9/13/2002 friday the 13th tonight matt plays london at the western fair, and kicks off a busy couple weeks for an east coast tour. if you make it out to any of the shows, and would like to share your stories, photos, etc, please send them to jeff@massacreindisguise.net". thanks! 9/12/2002 apologies.. my server deleted all my songs from my space. until i find some other way to get them up, you won't be able to download them from me. one way or another, you'll see them back here, hopefully soon. 9/11/2002 downloads more demos are up in the download section. hopefully i can find the rest of them soon. 9/6/2002 hit me please.. anyways, i was an idiot, and i uploaded an old database to my site. i seem to have only lost the news section of my site. here's what was important: matt has been rehearsing with the band at capilano college in north vancouver. i should have some info up on that soon. check out the new tour dates! 7 shows in 9 days! the image section should have some images in it, and the manifestos are up. more stuff will be coming soon. that's all for now. oh, and if you are to be attending any of the upcoming shows on the eastern tour, please send concert info my way. thanks! 8/17/2002 album update! rich has confirmed that the recording for the new album has been completed, and that they will continue with the mixing of the album. the album is still not expected until 2003. courtesy runningforhome.net 7/20/2002 ontario concert announced and confirmed by matthewgood.net: matt will be playing at the western fair in london ontario on september 13, 2002. check out the tour page or visit the western fair site here.
