First off, amazing band, 3 incredible albums, brilliant style and very few bad songs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since the Taste Of Chaos tour grasping scene kids into it's 5-hour long crapfest with bands like Taking Back Sunday and Senses Fail, in England everyone's suddenly creaming over Alexisonfire. Which is annoying when people ask "if i've heard of them" as if I havn't listned to them for years. :/

 

 

 

Egocentricism aside, heres the debate;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know thier names said Alexis-On-Fire.

 

 

 

So it's not Alex-Is-On-Fire like the twitty scene kids here seem to think..

 

 

 

but i looked up the word Lexis and it means;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The total set of words in a language as distinct from morphology; vocabulary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judging by the band's lyrics which are pretty gosh darned thought provoking and metaphoric, could the name mean A-Lexis-On-Fire, as in the words are "on fire" - describing their vocal style - if you get what i mean.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So anyone know which it is? Alexis or A Lexis?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:)

I know for a fact that it is 'Alexis'

 

 

 

In a few biographies it states that they are named after the worlds only lactating contortionist or something bizarre like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW - Best band ever.

 

 

 

They're from my hometown too, pretty awesome eh? :)

Alexis-on-fire. I'm seeing them in January. (I thought they were named after an adult-film star)

I remember alexis. Not a lexis or al exis or anything like that.

So you're a fellow St. Catharine'ser eh? They lived in my neighbourhood, jammed in my next-door-neighbours garage :P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yeah, it's "Alexis".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though it's scene kids getting into them now, I am glad that they are getting a larger fan base outside of Canada.
