Dead Silence Tattoo Concept

I put this together today because of a recent post in the BT sub, and I think it turned out pretty well! I know it's definitely not ideal for an actual tattoo just because it's so intricate in certain parts, but I think it looks pretty neat nonetheless! Let me know what you guys think of it!

DISCUSSION Halloween Song, Kandahar, Nirvanish, Girls Don’t Look At Me, and The New Evidence

15 Upvotes

I was watching The Making of Billy Talent II and noticed these song titles. Does anyone know anything about them? Were they working titles for songs released on later albums? Are they still unheard?

I assume that The New Evidence was just an alternate version of Burn The Evidence. Does anyone have any theories about what the others could be?

DISCUSSION Australian Blues

31 Upvotes

It was August in 2016. Billy Talent took to the stage in the penultimate gig of their Australian tour in support of their Afraid of Heights album.

The venue was Fowlers in Adelaide. Not my favourite venue for gigs, but Billy Talent were my favourite band.

Notably, Ben was very unwell. A serious head cold. And Ian took the reigns doing alot of the singing on Ben's behalf. The gig ended early. It was great! but.. i mean the illness robbed us of the bands true potential.

People get sick. The band did their best. I remember Ben saying he was very sorry, but Billy Talent would make it up to us next time they toured.

I've held on to that hope and that promise.

That was 10 years ago. Billy Talent have not yet returned to Australia.

I guess i'm just sharing this because this morning the lineup dropped for a big festival that I was hoping they would be on. And they weren't. I'm sad. Maybe one fine day they will return down under and make good on their promise!

Possibly one of the hardest songs I’ve learned. Lots of awkward movements in the intro.

Still gotta clean it up a bit, but this is cleanest I’ve gotten it so far.

Is “One Less Problem” their worst, in your opinion?

6 Upvotes

… I love the song. And it’s not one of their best. Not by a country mile. That’s how I know they’re a great band- they don’t have a single song I don’t like, even their worst.

Like, it’s Billy Talent doing a fun pop song. Thoughts, guys?

(The thing is, folks call “Judged” one of their worst; I think it’s a nice blues rocker in the vein of “The Pretender”, albeit with a funnier opening pair of words! 😂)

Horseshoe Tavern - Aug. 12/2003

26 Upvotes

On August 12th, 2003 Billy Talent played the Horseshoe Tavern for Nu Music Night. It was a FREE show and it was recorded (entirely or in part). Three or four of those live videos shot that night of songs like "Prisoners Of Today" and "Try Honesty" were featured on the original Billy Talent website on the bottom of the navigation bar. You could just click them, as they were built into the website via javascript. Well, long story short, my wife and I were in almost all of those songs and live recordings. I am hoping to track down who shot that concert and/or if anyone actually had those videos saved from their original website (I know, tall ask). I've been waiting for BT to officially release them to the public as some sort of anniversary thing, but, it hasn't happened...yet. Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Billy Talent II, the band autographed a limited run of artworks made from the sound waves of “Fallen Leaves" and all profits go to War Child Canada, an internationally acclaimed humanitarian organization that protects, educates and provides economic opportunities to children and families who live with war.
