Game 5… Who’s ready?

Billy Talent

Always an honour to sing a Canadian classic with a Canadian Legend The Jim Cuddy Band. Thank you CBC Music. BlueRodeo

Today Toronto, Canada and the entire rock and roll world lost a true legend and icon but today I lost a dear friend. Bookie was the kindest soul I ever met and a power point in my universe. There will never be another and I’ll miss ya forever. See ya down the road Cookie face. - Ben

Last summer a photographer from Frankfurt/Germany named Per Schorn per schorn fotografie asked us to be part of The Photo Booth Project. The idea was each band member gets 4 pictures taken and the whole band has 4 pictures taken together. Just like a classic photo booth. Every shot gets used. It was up to us how we wanted to act in front of the camera. Here are a few pictures from that day. Check out www.thephotoboothbook.com to see all the other bad ass bands that have been involved. Truly some amazing pictures.

Love how their voices sound for this song. Follow leturheartsing on YouTube! #btfantasticfriday

This is an old video of Ian playing This Suffering on acoustic for us for the first time. #tbt #thissuffering

Little known fact. The accordion was first patented on this day May 6th, in 1829. A meager 190 years ago today. So happy #WorldAccordionDay everyone!

Mixing "This Suffering" with CLA in 2005. #TBT

Back in 2003 the four of us accomplished the dream. We released our first major label record and had been doing a ton of touring in Canada. We got the call to be main support in the US for the #buzzcocks. We jumped in the van and did our first tour of America opening for one of the most legendary punk bands on the planet. We learned a ton from those guys. Today would have been Pete Shelley’s birthday. We were sad to hear of his passing late last year. Happy Birthday Pete! We will always have your music. We hope you’re playing music wherever you are in the universe. #peteshelley

Thank you to the guitarwrist for this opportunity!

Here is an amazing piano cover of #CureForTheEnemy by IMystii. Go follow her on youtube. She has some other incredible covers and she doesn't use sheet music. Played by ear! #BTFANtasticFriday

Just sharing a little skate video that Ryan Sheckler made back in 2007.
