Thursday - War All The Time Late Night With Conan O'Brien 11/28/2003

[runningfreetoday]

it’s happening! this is the long-awaited info post for a currently untitled zine celebrating the 21st anniversary of the album War All The Time by the band Thursday

- general work about Thursday may be considered if it’s particularly rad but the zine’s main focus/inspiration is War All The Time

- submissions can be original works in almost any form of writing or visual art besides videos, gifs, or fanfics. think poems, essays, lyric essays, collages, paintings, etc. if you’re submitting concert photos, ones from the War All The Time era or one of the 3 shows in 2023 where Thursday played through the whole album are preferred.

- submit as many pieces as you want! written work can be as long as you want!

- to submit your work: make a post and tag me in it or use the hashtag #war20zine. let me know in your post or in a dm how you’d want to be credited.

- work does NOT have to be new. if you’ve made work related to the album in the past that you want me to consider, just repost or reblog it with the #war20zine tag!

- this project will have some level of curation. not every piece submitted will make it into the zine

- the official deadline is december 31st (new year’s eve felt appropriate). UPDATE: a few people requested more time. the latest you can submit is january 21st

- the zine will be free online and released sometime in january or february

- dm me or send me an ask if you have questions

looking forward to seeing what you all send in! <3

i've been so curious about this 'unofficial therapist' that thursday had???? which member is he? how did they find him?? could he always play an instrument or did they ask him to learn so they could keep him around? did he actually help that much? how did it change thursday's writing? i don't expect you to have the answer to all of these things but you seem to know a lot about them and if nothing else i need to know who their therapist is and what 'unofficial' means in this case if you can help at all!

oh lol haha unofficial in the very literal sense so my guy andrew everding of the "no one ever expects it" chest hair fame from my chemical romance in the studio 2002 (@3:10) is like...the y/n of thursday.

he's just a nice dude who hangs around and everyone likes, good friend of the guys in thursday, and then his house burns down and he has nowhere to stay so thursday were like yo just come tour with us and he did. because he's also a very talented (multi?-)instrumentalist and, as it turns out, a great composer too. also at some stage he lived with geoff's mom? it is unclear if this is before or after the fire and/or joining thursday as a touring member. he also photographed their first west coast tour in 2002?

so like anyway by 2003 he's playing keys for the watt tour which is like.....I'd say the darkest point of thursday's history but that would be a fucking lie lol. let's say the darkest point of thursday's history so far. the guys are super stressed, super overworked, super depressed, and under loads of pressure from their label who's saying they're underperforming the expectations they had for them. geoff in particular is copping a lottt of criticism for his singing which he really internalised, and basically everyone in the band is miserable. they were also. not fucking talking to each other. like at all. they would just all constantly bitch about each other behind everyone's back and never say shit to their face. andrew, as a touring member but not official member, and as a Nice Guy, ends up becoming like...the intermediary to whom everyone in the band went to vent. so he's like trying to fix their shit and be positive and he puts his foot down and is like guys you NEED to learn to COMMUNICATE. (spoilers they didn't) but anyway the band after a particularly nasty and conflict-laden tour of australia in 2004 are like fuck this we're breaking up! but then as soon as they agreed to breaking up they were like wait. so much of the pressure is gone now. actually we're good we just need a break :) but media has kind of already picked up on the story of them breakup up so it was all dreadfully will they/won't they. this is also right as three cheers is blowing the fuck up btw 😭😭 #we'retwosidesofthesamecoin #he'smyvillain.

oh shit and then they go on warped 04 as what would have been kinda their last thing but they're like hey look at this we're sorta starting to work on our problems! oh and then at the vegas date 24yo geoff gets shotgun married to a woman he'd been dating for two years with mcr, tbs, and the bouncing souls as the wedding party 😭😭😭😭😭.

ANYWAY. they end up not breaking up but take a break from touring and then all move in together for a while? i think bc they were a little scattered at that point and geoff might have been living in sydney (his wife was australian) at the time idk so when he came over to do thursday shit they just like lived together apparently. and they write city by the light divided (so titled bc the band, naturally, was totally divided on how they wanted the album to sound lol). anyway the main difference now is this time round they've invited andrew to join as an official member!! :DDD

...unfortunately for andrew, this is also the time thursday stops being even slightly commercially viable lol so he's like technically im earning less money now than i had been on a tour salary lolz. anyway he becomes a big part of the writing process, especially for that album and no devolucion, the instrumentals if which were apparently driven pretty heavily by him!

then in 2008 onwards thursday were all broke as fuck and needed to get day jobs to pay rent. most of them went into like...food service or painting houses, but tucker drummed for mcr for a bit and andrew worked as.....a guitar tech? for patd????? (also after the break up, tucker was in boy band the wanted for a while as their touring drummer. he loved it lol <3)

anyway tragically, andrew hasn't appeared at any of the reunion shows 😔. he's private so no details but he was dealing with some health issues towards the end of thursday that contributed to the band deciding to break up and has a baby and shit now. but he did continue touring as a musician a bit, like with neil finn in 2014!!!!!! playing some wacky fancy midi/synth electronic instrument iirc? epic collision of my childhood fave and new-adulthood fave.

anyway lol this is all typed out in bed on my phone off the top of my head so there might be some chronology errors in there, but a lot of this is from their documentary, kill the house lights! it's a comedy. dark comedy.

guys Please watch the temptations 1998 movie/mini-series that's basically a movie. yall it's literally free on utube. the quality isn't the best but please. It's grandma. Just watch it. Please. I can't keep containing the beast within me.

if u guys don't recognize this saying, im cooked. im gonna kill u all. please . please watch this movie. The actors are too good not to be seen. This was my world

tired of acting nonchalant about my interests. you WILL watch this movie. and you WILL say ur favorite is melvin 'blue' Franklin . ill kill u (Paul is actually my favorite. His actor does him so right but the story does him so wrong 😭)

Paul getting ready to compliment them before getting accosted . he succeeds in finding kindness in blue, as all people do. blue returns it two-fold, to his own group's hater-like hatred
