[Ballashoes]

I just wana be the first person to use the abreviation BWGK...hahaa

:lol

[JRed]

hah. i dont know what to think.

I feel the same way. I just got the e-mail announcement and I was like...WTF!?

The album better be damn incredible to make up for such a lame title. :shrug

[rick8285]

Having nothing else to go on than strictly a name... I like it!

[greyst1crash]

hah. i dont know what to think.

Me neither...but I'll take it I guess.


How funny would it be if they just announced this to f*ck with us?! :lol :lol

[indianvik]

at least it's not lame and corny

[JTR178]

sounds like a movie

[joeleb]

I think it's great. Really funky and different. What do you guys think, song title, lyric or neither? I say song title.

[dotpsd]

"I love John Wayne as much as the next man but that wasn't whiskey he was drinkin, that was iced tea." - Dave

hahahahaha - the titles cool tho, how do you pronounce Groogrux tho? haha

grew grucks?

[eddypus14]

at least it's not lame and corny

I'm willing to bet it is one or the other. LOL

[akf091]

how do you pronounce Groogrux tho? haha

hahahahaha - the titles cool tho, how do you pronounce Groogrux tho? haha

That's what I was thinking.

I couldn't care less what the album title is. They could name it "horse shit on my boots" for all I care as long as it's good.

[crashintome202]

at least it's not lame and corny
big whiskey isnt lame?

[DMBBeav]

I think its good. Its better than "Patterns on the Wall", which was the asinine wish title by people in these parts.

[JonDMB]

Well it's got more character than "Everyday" and "Stand Up".

[chad_mc]

You have got to be f'in joking me... This has to be a joke. Was there an actual email claiming this to be the title?

[dmaru09]

I think it's great. Really funky and different. What do you guys think, song title, lyric or neither? I say song title.

...still here dancing with the Groo Grux King. We'll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing. When I get to the end, I'm gonna end..

Yes from the Warehouse.

Groo Grux = a reference to Roi, from what I've read.

[deshong1485]

You have got to be f'in joking me... This has to be a joke. Was there an actual email claiming this to be the title?

DMB ALBUM TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT!

You heard it here first, the next Dave Matthews Band studio album, scheduled for release on June 2, 2009 will be titled Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King.

[LieInHrgraves41]

Maybe Dave's doin drugs again...possibly a good sign then haha, sounds more promising than Stand Up

[JTR178]

i think the title says not to expect seek up / stone type songs

[Ballashoes]

You have got to be f'in joking me... This has to be a joke. Was there an actual email claiming this to be the title?
:lol:lol

[wedge914]

I think I'm too sober to understand this title

[Flip36]

http://clicks1.musictoday.com/cts/click?q=1;106353;UkmTWGpETbbpbMzwcUb7kg%3D%3D

[ThePig]

I think the title's awesome! There's something about the timbre and flow of the name that rings New Orleans, which of course is where much of the mastering/laying down of tracks has taken place. But I wonder whether it's a track title?

[indianvik]

big whiskey isnt lame?

haha, i meant lame in the corny way, not either/or. i personally don't think it's lame though

[Ballashoes]

I think the title's awesome! There's something about the timbre and flow of the name that rings New Orleans, which of course is where much of the mastering/laying down of tracks has taken place. But I wonder whether it's a track title?

Probably is. I think its part of the song that was leaked.

[cptnhansel]

Sounds...

...

... what the fuck?

[kgs305]

Weird.

[Southpaw2v]

omg its not btcs 2! terrible!

[Flip36]

it's original, it's different, i'm sure this album is gonna blow our minds!

[TheGameV30]

how are so many of u judging it so much based soley off of a title?.........really? i think it's different in a good way. it grabs your attention more than like other ppl said about Everyday and Stand Up.

[TheTallOne]

I actually like this

[ThePig]

Small town, Middle America is where the legend of Big Whiskey’s began. Throughout those 30 years this little corner tavern acquired quite a few regulars, but one of those regulars became a legend. My grandfather said this man wasn’t the average customer. He only came in a couple times a week and it was always between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. He had done it for so many years it became tradition.

The same thing each time...he’d come in, have a seat and proceed with his order. He would always tell the bartender, “I’m only going to have one, so make it a big one.” Over the years of him coming in to my grandfather’s place and performing his ritual, he eventually became known as “Big Whiskey.”

As my grandfather tells it, Big Whiskey was the kind of man who always had the right thing to say at the right time, whether it was a joke, story, or toast. Everyone knew if he was sitting at the bar, it was going to be a good night.

from www.bigwhiskeys.com


Now THIS sounds like Leroi to me. Not sure of the connection though.

[thestand]

The good thing is it's named after a lyric in a song (UTTAD, Crash, BTCS) and not after a song (Everyday, BS, Stand Up). Unless the song in the studio video ends up being called Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King.

[NateBOI]

I like it.

[rick8285]

I'm pretty certain it's pronounced, GROO GROO

[Sou1 So1di3r]

i'm pretty certain it's pronounced, groo groo

groo grucks

[bbarterjr]

That title is Horribly Lame and Corny!!

Fucking Terrible!

Just when i got my hopes up that this album would be great and even have a cool sounding title, they give us this.

It sounds like a 1950's cheesy sci-fi comic book hero!

Or one of those titles scrapped for the last Indiana Jones movie.

Im sure theres a story behind it, other then the leroi part.

[NateBOI]

It's going to have a story behind it like BTCS. ... here stood my dreaming tree.

[texan2120]

This title sounds fuckin sweet. Anything that gets us away from lame titles like Stand Up and Everyday is a good thing in my opinion.

[dmbmarkt2]

I guess it's time to change this section from 'Yet-to-be-titled' 2009 Album Discussion.

I really do think this title has a lot to do with LeRoi. Besides, all I care about is the music. They could call this album "Big Billy Bob's Giant Shitshow Extravaganza" for all I care as long as the music is good to great! (For the record, I think the title is, well, interesting if nothing else. As stated above, more interesting than Everyday or Stand Up).

Before These Crowded Streets

These titles might sound lame without having terrific albums attached to them.

Oh come on, would you have thought the same thing about "Under The Table and Dreaming" or "Before These Crowded Streets," which are both different from a lot of album titles.

And I can't believe I am the first to point this out in this thread, but we know Groogrux King is Roi, and Big Whiskey obviously draws it's name from NOLA.

I am completely happy about this title, and I think this album is going to blow our minds.

[dmb2741]

Is it "Groogrux" or "Groogux?" The main page says the album is "Groogrux," but it says Roi's nickname was "Groogux." I'm just a little confused...

Guess you probably said the same about the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album title. Since we all know that if an album has a corny name it means the music that's actually on the album must be lame too. :rolleyes :BANG

:thumbsupYep. And this little thread is why Im not coming on here once for a while after the album comes out. I like the title. I thought In Rainbows was corny, but after I heard the album it didnt seem so lame anymore.

[RolandsThinny]

I'm pretty certain it's pronounced, GROO GROO

I second that.

And I LOVE the title!!

[bbarterjr]

Before These Crowded Streets
In Rainbows

These titles might sound lame without having terrific albums attached to them.

BTCS is my favorite DMB album, and I don't care much for radiohead

Oh come on, would you have thought the same thing about "Under The Table and Dreaming" or "Before These Crowded Streets," which are both different from a lot of album titles.


Under the Table and Crowded Streets at least sound like something normal Even Busted Stuff was a more enjoyable name to say as a fan.

Sorry to say, I unlike many of my fellow Ants, HAATE the beatles.

[scrock25]

I fucking love it.

[Speilmen230]

all i have to say is with bands like dave and radiohead and the beatles.. the weirder the album title the better the music...
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?
Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King?
In Rainbows?
Kid A?
Before These Crowded Streets?

[KcH012785]

That's what I was thinking.

I couldn't care less what the album title is. They could name it "horse shit on my boots" for all I care as long as it's good.

Haha this shit made me laugh pretty hard. Couldn't agree more

[americanemu25]

[chr35919]

grew grew?yeah that's what i was wondering...is it grewgrew or grewgrUX?

[americanemu25]

people are saying grew grucks on other boards and stuff

[solsburyhill]

they say grew grucks.. but i'd bet the real pronunciation is groo groo

[americanemu25]

wat about grug rucks?

[nick45]

This is great news as far as I am concerned. It has a back water feel to it. Not to mention that paying tribute to leroi is something that we all knew would happen and I can't think of a better way to remember their boy without coming off as depressing.

Personal story, I lost my best friend last May and the thing that keeps me from crying my eyes out everyday is still acting like he is around. Sometimes I call him crazy, other times I call him a dick for no particular reason, kind of hoping he can hear me. I want him to know that just cause his body isn't here our relationship is still the same in spirit.

May be kind of dumb to people who haven't been in such a situation, but I can imagine it is the same type of thing with regards to the album title. Especially b/c its their boy and not say for instance a mother, wife child, etc. Anybody guy with tight boys knows that jokes/phrases/remember whens, ,etc are different btwn you and them than w. anybody else.

:thumbsup Good story and perspective.

[cwbuff44]

I absolutely like it!! Its a tribute to LeRoi. That's nice.... Not to mention it is definitely more ear catching than Stand Up. It obviously is going to be a song title, or a lyric withing a song.. I just don't think people should "dislike" an album title, or call it "lame." Its a fu*king album title, we don't even know what the music sounds like yet.... Just wait..

[msb3079]

sounds good to me!!

[thestand]

We have video of Carter calling Roi, phonetically, "Grucks". So more than likely, the pronunciation is grew-grucks.

Quality post, sorry to hear about your best friend.

[dmb2741]

I'm pretty certain it's pronounced, GROO GROO
Yeah, you're definitely right

[Jewelly]

yeah that's what i was wondering...is it grewgrew or grewgrUX?

It reminds me of the Lorax and the Barbaloots in their Barbaloot suits.

[vp719]

I love this title, it's fucking awesome. Hell of a lot better than Stand Up and Everyday

[mdushaj]

I think I love it haha. I'm not sure yet, but I like the originality, and as many have said, the title really means nothing when it all boils down.

[atrippingbillie]

Maybe Dave's doin drugs again...possibly a good sign then haha, sounds more promising than Stand Up

:lol:lol:lol If it means good music, dave could do some drugs, but dont let it effect your family

[zjstrunk]

We have video of Carter calling Roi, phonetically, "Grucks". So more than likely, the pronunciation is grew-grucks.

Hmmm, haven't seen that one, thanks. I just twittered Dave and Stefan asking them for clarification on how to pronounce. I doubt I will bet an answer, but I can hope right?

This title sounds fuckin sweet. Anything that gets us away from lame titles like Stand Up and Everyday is a good thing in my opinion.

Ya, no kidding. Who would want a lame title like Crash? A lame title totally equates to a lame album.

[mdushaj]

One more thing...

I was thinking, it may be possible that this title is TWO track titles.

1. Big Whiskey
2. Groogrux King

Not necessarily track 1 & 2 but idk, it makes more sense if they were split up. Just spitballin' here.

Good point, but they were both in the same lyric

[Swizz2007]

IMO the title blows. But the title really doesn't matter to me, I still think this album has potential for greatness

[kingchrisII]

Loving this album name. :thumbsup:thumbsup

[ANDREWKREP]

this title is everything i couldve hoped for an more. id rather call it groogrux than bwgk

[LastHallowStop9]

I know I'm clearly not the only one here, but this album title is FUCKING AWESOME.

[thestand]

Again, it is most certainly "grucks". That was what the band called Roi. They're not going to make the album a tribute to him and all of a sudden change the pronunciation. If it was Groogreaux, you'd have a point. But it's not.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5EQr0N96Do

around 3:11, right after telling Fonz to have a good show, you can hear Carter say "Grucks". So the album is not "Groo groo".

[bbarterjr]

I didn't say anything about the music being lame.
This music on this album could be everything I'm hoping they give us, and could become my all time favorite album,.... I'll still hate the name.

[TheLastStop123]

it's definitely "grew grucks".....carter calls roi "grux" pronounced "grucks" in a youtube video posted in the other thread in DMBc. the specific time is at 3:10.

[Panther41]

It takes balls to give an album a title like this. Again, I think this bodes well for what we're going to get this summer. :)

[Panther41]

it's definitely "grew grucks".....carter calls roi "grux" pronounced "grucks" in a youtube video posted in the other thread in DMBc. the specific time is at 3:10.

I'm sure this is correct. It's too much to expect the average consumer to pick up that title and see "groo groo". The grucks is right.

[#40BigEyedFish]

i like it

and who posted a thread that got shat on earlier today saying the band would put leroi in the title somehow? thats right this guy....

expect this title is more clever.....looks like stan was right, i bet this is also a song title and what dave twittered is lyrics

Now THIS sounds like Leroi to me. Not sure of the connection though.

That sounds like it also potentially describes Roi, and how we knew him, what little we fans did know about him.

[MPizzle06]

With such inspiration, even in the TITLE, this album has an immense possibility to be fucking amazing

[altark123]

and the twitter by dave the other day may have been actual lyrics to this song.

[DaveMB36]

The DMB marketing department is very smart. they are just giving us little snips ever once in a while to keep us content. I bet in two weeks we see the album art and then two weeks after that we get the Studio site and then two weeks after that the single. The delay was a good think in a marketing perspective

[atrippingbillie]

It is funky and different, and I love it.

bam!

absolutely love this title...still has nothing to do with how well the music might or might not be ....we can keep fingers crossed though...This is def a lyric of some sorts..........BIG WHISKEY AND THE GROOGRUX KING!!!!!!!

As much as i'd hate to say it, it would never happen! :BANG

[Gravedigger81]

wow awesome title... gotta say it a couple of times to pronounce it right.

[JMcCartyFBI]

I will admit, it does take some balls to put a made-up word in your album title. Hell, Radiohead doesn't even do that, and I don't think they have a single normal album title.

[dmb2741]

it's definitely "grew grucks".....carter calls roi "grux" pronounced "grucks" in a youtube video posted in the other thread in DMBc. the specific time is at 3:10.
yep, carter definitely says "grux"

[funksoul]

For my 1,800 post I would just like to say Groogrux!!

[chad_mc]

My first reaction to the album name was that's terrible, but after reflecting on it and learning about Groogrux being Roi's nickname, I like it. This new album is going to be great.

[DJGeneral]

I love the title! It is creative and fresh. I just can't believe the posts I see from people on here saying it sucks and stuff...this album is something for the band. They don't even need to release music...it is a way to remember Roi. If you don't like it, you can name the album whatever the hell you want in your own little mind. And stop judging clips by 30 seconds of music. I understand that Everyday and Stand Up may not be the best material from the band, but in my eyes, if this album is even ANYTHING like those two, I will personally love it. I have a strong feeling that this time around the band really got together to create something nice, and it will have a good chance compete for a spot for everyones favorite album, or close to it anyways.

[candyman#41]

Also, the name "LeRoi" means/translates to "king".


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leroy

Le Roi is "modern french" according to Wikipedia....but the meaning is still the same.

Groogrux (King=LeRoi)

Very cool title. It makes me even more excited to hear the new tunes.

[jeremyc74]

It's just going to be "Big Whiskey" for me...the whole thing is just too long.

At this point I don't give a damn what they call it, as long as it's good :)

[Jud78]

Title= A-

For my 1,800 post I would just like to say Groogrux!!

Man, you snuck that in before me.

I'm sure this album will become known as, "Big Whiskey...," when being referenced in the future.


On a side note...

I hope the entire theme of the album isn't a NOLA, cajun, Louisiana Bayou feel. I was hoping the band was out of that phase, but it seems Dave might be stuck on it since he loves NOLA so much. I had this fear when I heard they'd be recording in N'orlins.

[wildcat2324]

Hahaha what is this?

Hello Again
Bayou
Cornbread
#27
Eh Hee

All have about the same feel to them.

Might we see more in that trend on the new album?

[bradnessjk]

thats exactly what i thought the title would be.......:thumbsup:)

That's exactly what I fear. I hope that's not the case.

[jdhp03]

That's exactly what I fear. I hope that's not the case.

I'm going to say probably not. Here's why: Stand Up and Everyday lacked character. The titles weren't....well....different. Other than Busted Stuff, the titles haven't really been titles, they've been full of character though. I was a little shocked when I saw the email, but its growing on me because I see potential for some music with character. Lets not forget that its about the music, not the title of it.

The title has to do with Roi, not with the type of music :confused

makes no sense

thats a good thing, that means there being bold, being creative, unpredictable (& all hopefully in a good way)


I like what the future has in store for us

[Dagwin]

I said, "On a side note..."

I wasn't implying that because of the album title, I feel it'll be a cajun-style album.

It's just w/the songs mentioned by Caveat (Bayou, Cornbread, #27, etc.), and Dave LOVING New Orleans as much as he does... plus the selection of NOLA as the location to make the album... kinda scares me, because I'm not really into that type of music.

[MikeNDMB]

nice work wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Whiskey_and_the_Groogrux_King


"The band reportedly wrote a song called Garden Horse, which is in reference to the bands love of glue and dog food."

[Dagwin]

With this album title, it sure sounds like they were keeping the Magic Mushroom Tea nearby again.

[NextMovement41]

awww wikipedia took down the fake ass tracklisting, in case you missed it such gems as:

the millershed head
garden horse
skworm

and others were included

[DWert19]

I like it. I like whiskey, I like roi, i'm sold.

I'd like some tracks named after this too.
can't wait for pre order

[sweens2002]

i like the title because i really just dont get it at all other the roi reference haha...yeah buddy i hope its dirty ...lets go BWGK

[Dagwin]

I was just thinking...

What if I'm tryin' to introduce friends to DMB's music, and I have to say, "Hey, man. You gotta go pick up Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King! It's fuckin' sweet!!!"

[awsomepath]

That title is Horribly Lame and Corny!!

Fucking Terrible!

Just when i got my hopes up that this album would be great and even have a cool sounding title, they give us this.

It sounds like a 1950's cheesy sci-fi comic book hero!

Or one of those titles scrapped for the last Indiana Jones movie.

:lol

shut the fuck up

[bbarterjr]

hahahahaha tell me it doesnt though!

c'mon.. "Indiana Jones: Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King"

:D

[DevinFisch]

hahahahaha tell me it doesnt though!

c'mon.. "Indiana Jones: Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King"

:D

I haven't read any previous threads or pages but when does this new Indiana Jones movie come out? Didn't they just make one? I thought this would be nDMBc, oh well... I heard Dave was on House though...

[GLR87]

It's a fucking title you people are lame... has nothing to do with the music!

[efraser77]

It reminds me of the Lorax and the Barbaloots in their Barbaloot suits.
The Barbaloot is currently my 2-year-old son's favorite animal. He made me draw six of them the other day.

[warehouseguy]

like the title... can't wait

[cptnhansel]

It's a fucking title you people are lame... has nothing to do with the music!

Not according to Fonz.

[awsomepath]

hahahahaha tell me it doesnt though!

c'mon.. "Indiana Jones: Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King"

:D

:lol yea it does, i was just a little pissed off that you said it was fucking terrible. It's probably, in some way, a tribute to Roi so there's no need to bash it before we've heard any music, besides that shitty 23 second clip. I don't know why people are bugging over this. It's very original and quirky...and that's how I like my DMB. So I am in no way disappointed by it.

[awsomepath]

It's a fucking title you people are lame... has nothing to do with the music!

I agree with you about everyone being lame, but you should probably correct yourself with that line because I'm sure it probably has a lot to do with the music.

[comerelaxnow]

As much as i'd hate to say it, it would never happen! :BANG

Hey it could happen. If the album is good enough the Grammys definelty got an earfull from the DMB community this year so DMB might be in their sights

[CrashAgain]

It took me a while for the title to sink in, but I'll accept it. Can't judge the album based on the title, but personally I love the cajun feel in DMB's music. Believe me, Dave is right when he speaks of New Orleans's magic. I went there once, shortly before Katrina, and fell in love with it. If the album has a southern feel, I'll take it. True, SU wasn't as good as the Big 3, but I don't hate it. I don't care how the album does on the charts, I'll like the music (and as for the title, I'm sure Dave will explain it in interviews or at shows; the first thing I thought of was the town of Big Whiskey in Eastwood's 'Unforgiven').

I'm wondering if there's a parallel or a contrast between Big Whiskey and Groogrux King. A double-disc CD would be great, every great band has one.

[wildcat2324]

i think the title says not to expect seek up / stone type songs

I don't understand how a title could possible warrant this expectation. You cannot reasonably infer anything from the title of an album.

[Branty]

I like the sound of the title. It intrigues me.

[Peppermill]

Personally, I like the title. I think it sounds very interesting. First of all, like many people have said in the few posts i've read, it is just a title. In the past there have been horrible titles to albums in my opinion that turned out to be excellent, if not great. Second of all, I don't understand why some people on here don't see that even if they think it's a little corny, that this album title is paying tribute to one of the band's loved members? That in itself is a reason why I've taken to the title. Finally, if some of you are worried that since "the title sucks, the music will suck"....because the album title is a tribute to LeRoi there's no reason not to believe that the band's intentions are for the music to be embodied with the love of our late LeRoi Moore.

[Inuyasha463]

I stared at it for about 20 seconds until my brain could wrap itself around it. It's different from their other titles but I like it. I just can't seem to remember it when I try and say it out loud. That will probably take some time.

[bibby1044]

Nobody should appose creativity, imagine if they named it #7.

I love it by the way.

[homer74]

Well said and so true!

i was going to post this in other words, but you are spot on. take the specific words out of the album and what do we know right now from the title? they have leroi on their mind and they have some southern new orleans feel in them. to me that spells awesome music, having a great inspiration and great influence.

just remember, and i don't know if people are bashing this, but new orleans music isn't southern country. its got life to it, and i'd love to see their album have that sort of influence.

EDIT: plus, its the third album with a 4 letter acronym (UTTD, BTCS, BWGK), nice company, haha.

[BDJCL3]

I think I like it; it's something quite different but relates to the band on a personal level. The level is not so personal, however, that it is out there for everyone to know about just upon reading the title.

[darbini]

I just saw the name for the album and I think it's fantastic. Any name of a DMB album is fantastic because that means there is another album coming out. I like the title alot, but it doesn't matter either way. All I know is that I'm very happy I haven't read a single post in this thread, I can only imagine all the stupid posts and comments made about it. :)

[Pig17]

The just should have shortened it to Groogrux King.

[dre2142]

All I know is that I'm very happy I haven't read a single post in this thread, I can only imagine all the stupid posts and comments made about it. :)

Im with you on that one

[werkinsnake]

All hail the Groogrux King!

[Pig17]

My initial thought of what the album title would look like when I first heard the news...

http://30daysout.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/court-of.jpg

[Evans]

Wow....the term "Groogrux" is now forever going to be a part of standard terms mentioned on this message board for years and decades to come.

[GinaNMU]

Love the title. Love it.

[MustangD]

I like the title. Much better than "Stand Up" or "Everyday". It at least shows they put some thought and creativity into it. It amazes me how some people on here will bitch about anything.

[duofiowa]

I'm digging the title. But am I the only one that thinks it sounds more like the name of an upcoming video game?

[Digitalfury2248]

Title is excellent.

Long live the Groogrux King. :leroi

[dugan1345]

this title is badass and original. whoever doesnt like this title is well i dont know

[Seanieb]

I love it.

[Bafugama]

I think the title's great. Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King is just as unique as Under the Table & Dreaming or Before These Crowded Streets. The title doesn't mean anything, but what it says to me is that if they're willing to be creative in regards to the album title, it could mean that their creative juices are flowing in other ways too, which bodes well for the music on this album.

[jordanbball17]

I love how some people on here said they would be perfectly happy if the album title came from a song and/or was just creative.

Well, we got that, and they still bitch.

Some people are hopeless.

I for one really really like this title. We got used to typing BTCS; we'll get used to BWGK

[DaveMB36]

These are pretty depressing lyrics

"still here dancing with the Groo Grux King. We'll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing. When I get to the end, I'm gonna end"

[Holemandaddy]

I think the title is perfect. Really getting excited for the new album now.

[bigeyedfish190]

This title sounds fuckin sweet. Anything that gets us away from lame titles like Stand Up and Everyday is a good thing in my opinion.

:thumbsup

I love the title. It's completely bizzarre and unique. If DMB hadn't done it, it wouldn't have been done.

[chalktwo]

Love the title.

Extra awesome because: le roi, the king. Beautiful.

[WCJTR1279]

I think you cant say that at all. None of you can say how good it will be. I think it will be avery good album. And they are taking their time with it, and seem to be working very hard at it. I like the title. and seek up and the stone are 2 of thier greatest songs!!

[WCJTR1279]

Extra awesome because: le roi, the king. Beautiful.


agreed :thumbsup:cool i think it will be a tribute to Leroi!!

[carter41dmb]

Apparently Dave was not very aware the album title was released. Based on his recent twitters. "I guess I'm out of the loop on decision making, thats okay bc its the name i wanted"

[PantalaNagaMan]

Apparently Dave was not very aware the album title was released. Based on his recent twitters. "I guess I'm out of the loop on decision making, thats okay bc its the name i wanted"

Fonz knew though.

It just strengthens the point more that the band makes the music, everything else - deadlines, marketing, management - is done through everyone else.

[carter41dmb]

It seems that Dave is probably pretty removed from the business side of the band. Just doesnt seem like his thing. Fonz on the other seems like he take a bigger role in that side of things.

[DerekJTR2]

It's a fucking title you people are lame... has nothing to do with the music!
It really does though. Of course we can't hear the music right now but the only title that "doesn't have to do with the music" is (Untitled)

:thumbsup

recognize...

[Dagwin]

Now Party Bombs volume TWO: Cajun Backfire doesn't seem as far fetched for a title as it once did.

Also, SKworm seems plausible, now, too. Like I said, they must have had the Magic Mushroom Tea brewing again in the studio.

[justin1013471]

I created a Facebook group for the album. Check it out and join!

[SilverDrow]

I love the title..

Certainly more interesting than the generic album titles like Everday, etc...

It adds a certain.....mystery element to it all.

Plus, it seems like a trib to Roi.....

I hope the music is as awesomely interesting as the title.

[clayj41]

Awesome title!

love the title. love the reference to leroi. and it sorta reflects new orleans.

[harryhoudini]

thats what i love about the title. they have leroi and new orleans on their mind, thats a killer start for inspiration and influence.

[Southpaw2v]

I liked it at first...and it's done nothing but grow on me since learning about its meaning etc...

I think we may be in for a treat

bam 200

Big Whiskey is obviously referring to Dave's penis and the Groogrux king is obviously referring to Roi's penis.

Obviously.

[sdaltons]

ah, the forum is changed. i feel better now.

[crush_me_16125]

For some reason this title gives me a feeling that this album is not going to suck.

[Qlec]

It sounds like "Harry Potter and the Groogrux King" a bit ;) ;)
I like it. It's interesting. Since it's not a single word, we'll have something to talk about till June 2nd ;)

[bva816]

I really want to know the meaning behind "Big Whiskey" though.

[Southpaw2v]

Small town, Middle America is where the legend of Big Whiskey’s began. Throughout those 30 years this little corner tavern acquired quite a few regulars, but one of those regulars became a legend. My grandfather said this man wasn’t the average customer. He only came in a couple times a week and it was always between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. He had done it for so many years it became tradition.

The same thing each time...he’d come in, have a seat and proceed with his order. He would always tell the bartender, “I’m only going to have one, so make it a big one.” Over the years of him coming in to my grandfather’s place and performing his ritual, he eventually became known as “Big Whiskey.”

As my grandfather tells it, Big Whiskey was the kind of man who always had the right thing to say at the right time, whether it was a joke, story, or toast. Everyone knew if he was sitting at the bar, it was going to be a good night.

from www.bigwhiskeys.com


Now THIS sounds like Leroi to me. Not sure of the connection though.

:thumbsup

This part is depressing, still good writing, but you can tell he was depressed writing it.

[JunkBondTrader]

this is a fucking awesome album title. the best since BTCS

[Dagwin]

Looks like the title will def. be lyrics of a song. Dave said that on twitter. He said the title came first, then the lyric.

Say GROOGRUX KING 10 times fast!

[TheLilacsRevolt]

Don't know if this has been posted but...a Boyd tweet states...

"Garden Horse and The Stable of Fables" may be the most beautiful song Dave has written.

Also...

My favorite songs from the new album are "Garden Horse and The Stable of Fables" and "Gitfiddlin'".

I thought I'd read on here that there was question as to whether that was actually Boyd on Twitter, but I figured I'd post if for what it's worth.

[Riverrat1]

That's what I was thinking.

I couldn't care less what the album title is. They could name it "horse shit on my boots" for all I care as long as it's good.

Im pretty sure its prounounced "Groogrue King". Its Cajun.

You're correct. Just read through the 'Boydt' tweets...he's a fake. This Boyd says he's been working on his rhyming and rapping.

Geez.

No its pronounced grucks. That's what the band called leroi

don't you think there would be a link somewhere if that was really boyd's twitter?

Just got on the boards for the first time in a few days. Absolutely love the title! Is a title really "important"? Maybe not really in the larger scheme of things, but it is the face of the album for all listening enternity.

Anyway, my 16-month old granddaughter pronounces it "groo-groo" - so there!

terrible name?

eh. thought so, now I'm warming up to it.


NOT.

[bmt322]

The title sounds like it should be for a book that Dave wrote, not an album. Maybe in June I can say that it is indeed the album's appropriate title.

[cherylm41]

i would also accept "Horse shit on my boots"

names for roi, let it be... who has any place to diss this?

So agreeing.

I love the title, love the reference. Prefer nothing related to horse shit, mind you...

[mysticomimetic]

Great title. Simple.

[spitfire]

I think the name is strange but pretty awesome. I love how they honored Leroi Moore in the title! Since the title is a little on the strange side I am going to guess that the songs might be as well. Which means possibly a new sound or style for the band which is going to be awesome. I cant wait for June 2nd and then the summer tour after. Its going to be one of the best years for the band.
