PRR's thoughts: A shining example of the intelligent, young, up-and-comers in our country. On a side note the Blink Tributes were almost entirely formed by bands that wanted to pay homage to the group that got them interested in becoming a band. It was intended to give Indies a chance to be heard. And it worked. The eleven bands that signed to labels and seven that got distribution deals proved that. Lastly...we never profited off of it. Tributes are expensive, but our love for Blink persuaded us to release the album. The reason we released two is because the overwhelming song submissions we got. Bitch...

This cover [Four Year Strong's song Dumpweed] is the worst cover I've ever heard in my life.
They completely fucking ruined the song. This is fucking awful. Seriously, fucking die.

-Anonymous

PRR's thoughts: This is one of the less serious threats we've got, but it's a toned down example. Sure most of the time we just chalk it up to vitriolic douchebags, but seriously? Die?

Email Three
So uh, your idea sucks pretty hard. I suggest (knowing that you won't
comply) that you cease and desist all production of this embarrassing
"tribute," album. This isnt sufficient to be a tribute to my balls, and
im a girl and don't have any.
I know you're going to email me back with something mean
so....BLLLLLLOW ME AHEAD OF TIME.

-Lydia

PRR's thoughts: She was right. We did email her back with something mean. I'd post our response, but we've matured over the years. It's safe to say it mentioned something along the line of "being on the rag..".

Hey guys,

Your blink covers blow. You shouldn't do that, it's degrading to the band
who wrote that music. Those cover-artists blow even harder than your idea.
They sound like shit. Knock it off.

-Heather

PRR's thoughts: Heather was our motivation for putting out the second Blink-Tribute. It was a civilized way to say "f*ck you".

Hey!

The blink-182 tribute album sucks! Lolz lolz LoLz omg.
It like totally sucks. Haha! Lolz! Lolz! Omgomgomgomg!

But really it does; its stupid to have other bands
(lame ones at that) perform songs written by a band as
legendary as blink. And then to play them differently
and make them suck....? Whoa not good.
LOLZOLZOZZLZOLZ.

It seems like you're just trying to get money out of
their break-up. Stop it. LOLZOZLOMGOMGOMG.

Love and kisses!!!XoXooxoxoxoxoox

PRR's thoughts: The funny part is we've never received a hate letter from a guy. Only Women. Pac Ridge is definitely not smooth with the ladies.

Final thoughts: Through the years we've accumulated numerous messages/notes/emails that vary from threatning to downright hilarious. Most of them being completely unintelligable. I take most of them with a grain of salt, and many of them I find truly amusing, but there's a line. It's just music people. Sure we love it (obviously), but death threats? Really? The sad part is these messages are tame in comparison to some of the messages we receive (which I refuse to post).

I guess what I'm trying to say is think before you act. While your writing these messages just imagine saying what you're writing to the persons face. If it's something you wouldn't tell a person directly, and lets face it most people would never say these things, don't send it.
