Say Anything Selling Custom Written Songs

Say Anything frontman Max Bemis recently launched a unique initiative, offering to write new acoustic songs for paying fans. The band explained:

"In an effort to minimize the gap between music listeners and performers, take up time on warped tour, and find some solution for the fact that anyone can download any of his gosh-darn albums for free, Max came up with a predictably crazy idea in a haze of sleeping medication.

"Max has decided to open the door for a limited time to Say Anything fans to submit ONE to TWO paragraphs about an issue they are having, a serious problem they are going through, or even something they just felt should be written about. Max will take two to three days to deliver an acoustic, full length actual Say Anything song based on your experiences and what you submitted! Each song is 100 percent written by Max for YOU, the buyer.

The going price for a Say Anything tune appears to be $150. Since announcing the initiative on August 1st via MySpace the band has since closed orders due to overwhelming demand. There's no word if the initiative will continue.

The band is currently supporting 2007's released In Defense of the Genre.

This is pretty awesome. Pitty I live in the uk so I can't get one. Pretty pricey but, so I proberly wouldn't get it anyway.

[KingCheesehead]

That is SO cool. It's like Songs to Wear Pants To, but with a band.

[funkyfigure8]

It just sounds like a semi-clever way to make more money.

"the band has since closed orders due to overwhelming demand"

Well they should have expected that, right?

But it's still a great idea, can't go wrong with a custom Max Bemis-written song.

what an awesome idea, but if i'm gonna shell out almost 2 hundred bucks it's going to be get a lapdance while slash soloes behind me.

great idea, but who is going to pay that much?

Well they had to shut down orders due to the major demand, obviously enough people.

You're right, the fact that I don't know who a person is does warrant me being shot. How dare me.

And for those of you who don't think they are emo...

The singer even admits that they are emo. Give me a break.

[Hexagram]

I've never listened to any of their music but it is an interesting concept. The $150 is a little extreme though

[Seney]

I like say anything, but i have a feeling that in about two months from now max is going to be chin high in requests and saying, "what the **** was i thinking?" You only have so much creative juices to spare.

[Seney]

Not to mention all the crazy weird requests they get, or all the repetitiveness of the same situation coming in.

hold on, there is not a single line in that article where max explicity said he's in an emo band.
get your shit straight. And who gives a **** if Say Anything is emo? they're more creative than most bands, be they punk, emo, metal, whatever. Who gives two sjits about a genre?

[Admit it!!!!!!]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????!!!!!

Let me say first Say Anything is emo but who gives a ****? Emo is only a bad thing because some bands that can't make music, just ****ing shred and scream were angry about losing business, created a stereotype, the record company marketed it, and some teenage girls pitied themself. But Say Anything is pointing out the bullshit in the world and with people. Then some people just to prove that they're cool started hating anything with the slightest hint of emotion and powerchords! Don't get me wrong, I hate Fall Out Boy as much as the next guy, but Say Anything destroys Fall Out Boy in playing and lyrics. Say Anything may be emo but it's a good emo.

WHY ARE YOU EVEN ON THIS PAGE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS?! Surely you get here from the Say Anything tabs. You were just looking at a random band? Why even ask the dumbass question?
