A Big ol' "My Bad" and Sorry to all you Jake fans that come here everyday and make the LTJ and Roger sections the most active of this site. I was trying to clean out all the bad data from LTJ's musician page (NOTE: "#1 fan" is NOT a band member position). I hit the wrong button, and POOF, all LTJ info is gone (band members, articles, files, etc...). The Member's pages are still up, but they're not listed as being in LTJ.
I re-added Roger, so all you love-struck tweens wouldn't get too upset.
Now it's up the the rest of you out there to add the rest of LTJ's members to the LTJ page here.
Look to the left; see where it says "Add a musician for this band: "? Add the member's name under "musician Name" and the instrument they played under "Instrument" (you can put the years they were in the band in Parenthesis there, too).
And hey, let's not be adding fake members and stuff. That's just lame, and it ruins the point. If you see a someone listed as a member, and you know they're not, please click on the instrument to bring up a window for corrections, and write BS! in the instrument field.
Got it? Great. Once again, sorry about it, and you guys are the best. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Roger!!!!!
Ahh... thank you, those random things were getting kinda wierd, although i must say the Mark Cruce section was quite amusing if you ask me.
I'll miss the post though, but it's fun to start afresh at times, isn't it?
And who doesnt love Roger at the end of the day? :P
Dude, I posted a bunch yesterday and none of it showed up... is something wrong?
PS - i misspelled jr's last name, sorry

ok, this is quite strange, the second thing listed was posted before i posted the first one. just so you know. and both were me.
if you understood any of that, congratulations...
so, this board has died.
Let's ask a few questions to reincarnate it:
1 When did you first hear of LTJ?
2 How many shows did you see by them?
3 Do you have any reviews of these shows? (oohee i collect ltj show reviews and will put them on the web if i ever finish my site)
4 Are you going to any upcoming shows?
me:
1 - at least two years ago, maybe more. i first heard "Dopeman", but unfortunately it was a very poor quality mp3 so i didn't get into them until about a year and a half ago when i wanted to redo my mix tape and needed more LTJ songs for the mix. I heard "History of a Boring Town" and was completely hooked, and I have been ever since.
2 - Only one... but nobody ever comes to Paris (where I live btw). It was actually at the Boston Warped Tour last summer.I hope I can go to the reunion show this year.
3 - Yeah... I'll post it soon.
4 - I'm going to the Plymouth show in 17 days (i SO can't wait!!!!!!), and hopefully the Boston Warped Anniversary show.

Well I first heard LTJ nearly 4 years ago after I saw them tippexed on someone at school's bag...so I checked them out, thought it was good. Fast forward a few months, it was coming up to my 14th birthday and I really wanted to go and see a band. Seeing as my mum totally hated all the crappy nu-metal I listened to at the time (how incredibly embarrasing...nu-metal) we compromised and bought tickets to the Extreme festival which LTJ were headlining. So off I went, and enjoyed all the bands. When LTJ came on, it was the coolest thing I had EVER seen, they were fucking amazing. So from that day onwards, they have been my favourite band. I've only seen them twice but I'm going on Friday to see them at the Brixton Academy. It's gonna be awesome.
u hav fun then?i go 2moro!!
Hey there! now last time i read this site i was jealous of everyone who had seen ltj and met them...thinking that would never happen to me...wrong! Last nite I saw them play cardiff+chatted to chris (about being lost in the union building...and about canadians!!)+to roger about him doing everything his mom had told him to do!!+then JR found us at the end, when we were waiting for my mates (one had to be taken to hospital cos she got moshed severely!) and he was so damn nice and caring! and he was genuinely concerned! They are great great guys and talented musicians! But they av caused me to be awake for over 40 hours now!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Ps. if you're goin to a show soon, have a great time and take care in that pit!
yeah man... i met all five of them on saturday. they rule my universe! i talked to all of them for like an hour. theyre so funny and interesting. i want to become a full time roadie.
i hope your friend's alright dude...
oh my god!how much did ltj rock at glasgow!i almost died in the pit a few times tho!lol.met cool peeps there tho.i think one girl was called fiona(?).the A.k.As were ace aswll considering id neva heard o dem b4!met yellowcard in the indian l8r and saw chris later wen he came 2 look outside!i soooooooooo wish i cudo stayed longer but our taxi came!damn it!and i wunt 2 start sumthn here, cn as this is 4ltj fans; WHATS UR FAV LTJ SONG?it makes sense to talk about it!mines kinda a mix btween shindo,brightest bulb,gainesville rock city and all my best friends are metal heads.plus everything else theve ever done!lol
ouch, favorite ltj song? probably something on one of their albums. although the b-sides are good too.
in other words they're ALL my favorite! i love ltj so much...too much:)

less than jake really are a great band. i mean, ive been to concerts of bands that rock to listen to but theyre like complete assholes when you meet them. ltjs guys are sooooo nice! plus theyve got amazing music. i actually started liking him because this guy in school i had a crush on came in wearing an ltj shirt. i figured if i listened to them we could talk. well, he was an asshole but i stuck w/ ltj :-). someone tell me the craziest thing someone did or said when they went to an ltj concert, ive always heard they were wild but the ones i go to never get that way. oh well...

fun stories.....
they did the naked relays in glasgow too? i heard they tried it at pinkpop but it didnt work. did people actually strip? and why am i asking this...?
helen - was that girl like scaring him or something? someone should have kicked her ass to hawaii. ha. i get really mad when people sexually abuse roger. as you can see in the other board. (even when it's not my place to get mad, which it usually isnt)
well,wen thay announcd the nakd relays i startd 2 laf then i turnd round and saw three 13 year olds striping down 2 their underwear, so i turnd away from them!i didnt move over 2 c if they actually didi the relays cuz quite frankly i woz scared as there were really ugly old guys there!

If anyone knows of any great gigs going on in the uk over summer pleeeeeeze lemme know cos I have a gig craving!! Well, anyways, I'm off! Keeping lisnin 2 the ltj!!

How is it possible that a band cant make a 1 bad song AND make each album impossibly hardto get bored of. I cudnt choose a favourite song - but at the mo I have just worked all of The Brightest Bulb Has Burnt Out/Screws Fall Out on bass and guitar and I cant stop playin it (must b pissin off my mum). I saw LTJ for the 3rd at Manchester Apollo in May and it makes me want to cry/smile at how much I love them.....Id die for them lol. But n e way I threw and E.T pezon stage and Rog got it (so i am happy).
I have posted some photos of Less Than Jake playing at LeedsFestival that I took and at the signing tent just before they went on.
Hey, ok I wanna tell the story of my first LTJ gig! It was just so goddamn cool! It was the first time they'd ever played my hometown (Aberdeen, Scotland) and I was super duper excited. I remember I'd had my ticket for THE LONGEST TIME!! They postponed twice (I cant remmeber why) and I was so impatient, it seemed like i had been waiting for years....But the day came and it was well worth the wait...Anyone who has seen LTJ live they'll know, when you're waiting in line or that period after the last support band, the minutes go by so slow...And then...When they come on stage...Its like an explosion and suddenly you're jumping and singing and not thinking...It's the ultimate...I remember they had an after party but I couldn't go cuz of the bio final the next day...to which i wore my new LTJ shirt, and which, by the way, I got an "A" in.
hey!i went 2 da aberdeen show 2!abrdn is bout 40 miles from where i live.i remembr it well....ahhh....it was a good nite!i cudnt go 2 the afr show party either cuz i had biology the nxt day 2, i was nly doing standard grade but i still got a 1,which i put down 2 less than jakes performance!lol.hope rehasher come play abrdn 2!
hey,jst chekn in 2 c if therz ne news from ne1?!lol,so tell me wats been haapnin in the world of ltj fans?
Hey ok so i got B is For B sides...
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This record,can i say, is just...Christ I don't have the words...Lets just say I'm listening to it for (roughly) the 10th time today...And it STILL ain't old...Thats gotta say something, for sure.
I prefer this to Anthem, I mean, Anthem was good, but it was a little too...Clean? But this reminds me of the best bits of Pezcore and Borders and Boundries...If you don't have it yet, get yourself down to the record store! I had to buy the import because i am British and evidently we suck. So i paid my ludicrous price and got my top quality tune-age...i suggest you do the same, only i hope you don't have to pay over the odds like i did...
oh, buy the way if you random Floridians are wondering what its like to be a random Aberdonian, and are as interested in music as i am, then there is an awesome website for MY local bands...check out the Aberdeen Ultimate Band list: www.aubl.net
Go,See,Be Amazed and Over-awed
"Friday night and I'm drunk again, The same old routine it nevre ends, Is there something more than this wasted life? Where the problem lies at the bottom of a glass"
ohh it sux to be british if you like american music!! find me more than two great bands who live in fareham...see no-one's even heard of that! feel i now have to get this out my system......yay ltj! and yay rehasher!

Yep 17.99 but i hadto buy it coz i called to me :(...........:D:D:D:D
but worth every penny
ok...is it jst me being delerious or does the start of bridge and tunnel remind any1 else of shrek?u no...wen donkey and shrek and fiona are jst ...well...walking...its like a filler on the film
haha howie!mine nly cost me ?12.99!u shud look around 4 little off steet music shops they always have stuff cheapr!lol
B is for B-Sides is absolutely rocking my world right now... i cant stop listening to it... i practically play it 24/7. my god.
is it possible to fall hopelessly in love with a cd?
Well Truth is - i just got back from france - and france and music - well it just dusnt go - but i wore my tour t-shirt proudly not that they wud know wot it was
N e way back to the point - i came back and had to stop a few nights in reading b4 coming bak to the lake dstct - and i had already been l8 in buying it - cozi was in france 4 two weeks wen it was released so i just bought it becausei cudnt wait n e mor
omg!is it true that teen idols have broken up?it KANT be true!i dont wunt it 2 be true!:(
ok.let u off then howie!lol
hahaha Howie... that's so true... imagine fucking living here. and you live in the lake district? thats odd, because i live in france and just visited the lake district... so we kind of swapped
No shit
How do u live there - It must be wierd - I went to this one town/city St Breiuc?? orsumthin - and they had a shop called the backstage which had loadsof LTJ tees - so i thought well sum1must of herd of em a little - and so theremust b a shop sellin cds - so i went round in every cd shop and found nothin but steven segals new album?? lol and The offspring - very wierd
oh yeah St. Brieuc, i think ive been there... I saw Anthem and Greased in a shop in La Rochelle once and that made me pretty happy which is kind of proof that good music is rare around there.
and about how i live - i spend about all my time online. that does the trick. haha. although amazingly there will be a great rock festival tomorrow so well see, maybe things will start getting better here...or not.

I just spotted these questions. I got bored. Here are my answers:
1 When did you first hear of LTJ?
2000. When I was 14. They were on a random comp. that my sis handed down to me (the one thing older siblings are actually good for). The first sing I heard was motto. I feel old...
2 How many shows did you see by them?
I just had my second one this year. In Glasgow, complete with naked 13 year olds, and the near-death of Roger. Want an explanation? IM me on msn, then!
3 Do you have any reviews of these shows? (oohee i collect ltj show reviews and will put them on the web if i ever finish my site)
Sadie, you know I have a review. And you also know I have pictures. In fact, you already have my pictures. You are an LTJ hoarder.
4 Are you going to any upcoming shows?
Tsh. Next year, maybe. It's hardly any time soon though. Being British is gay. I have to save cash...
"tsh" indeed...
:)
i dont have your review though, can you im it to me?
hey!i went 2 the glasgow show!the nakedness was funny till i turned around and saw,,,,,(dun dun DUN) THE 13 YEAR OLDS!fuk sak,,,,i got scared shitless!then aftr it finished we went 2 get chips n saw 2 people at it in the corner!argh!the pain!imm like sooo goin nxt year!

Ok, I think everyone on here is British. i am American.
I first heard of Less Than Jake when I was 15 in 1995
I heard the song Soundcheck on the Misfits of Ska compilation, so i wrote a letter to them,
Derron wrote me back, and said they would be coming to my town in a few weeks. i went to see them, and hung out with them backstage after the show. After that I was hooked. I loved them, i loved their music, my whole life revolved around them. i saw them two more times, then in 1997 I followed them with Blink-182 across the country. At shows they even changed some of the lyrics to my name instead of Jen or Johnny Quest. it was so much fun.
They played a show on my 19th birthday in NYC, and made me go up onstage and said happy birthday to me. That was really fun. I was really good friends with them from being such a big fan. i havent seen them in like over a year, and I miss them, but i grew up. im now 25, and I have my own kid, but I was a die hard fan for almost 10 years!
Wow Shannan, now that is a fan story and a half! You are so lucky! I love Less Than Jake. I have met Roger once at Leeds Festival over here in the UK and I have seen them live 5 times. That looks quite pitiful at the side of your fan story,well done lucky lass x
help pleaaaaaase when I want to know something I need to know it or I don't sleep for days! does anyone know the make of rogers basses?? they sooo pretty just like him :D wow im a loser!
erm... they're ernie ball something... sterling? i'll ask my friend who has it memorised
howdy my fellow less than jake luvvers! hey lor ;)havnt seen me enough lately?! hohoho....
i have vowed to build up the courage to go n talk 2 the dudes next time... at brixon i was like 'arg no way!' ... also ... has anyone actually seen b is for b sides in any british shops?!! i cant find it anywhere... but my guitar teacher is gonna copy it for me ^_^ HOOORAY FOR HIM!!
hey dude go to tower records and order it online... much better that way :)
To whoever asked about Roger's basses, he uses Ernie Ball and I'm sure I've seen him using Fender Precision basses.
URGENT!!!!!!!
hey ltj lovers!!!! pls pls pls read this. Green Day are playin in milton keynes in june and they hav a poll so u can vote for who ud like to support them. PLEASE vote for less than jake!!! go www.greenday.co.uk VOTE LESS THAN JAKE :D
