    I do. Here's the list:

    VersaEmerge
    A Day To Remember
    BlessTheFall
    Bring Me The Horizon
    Fall Out Boy
    Mcveigh
    Cobra Starship
    Hey Monday
    (There's a lot more...Can't think of all of them now)

    It's weird seeing them on the cover of AP.

    What band did you know before they were really big? Post pictures too!
    :D

    Ugh. It really pisses me off when all of a sudden everyone likes a band I've liked for ages. They really only know one song by them :grr:
    3OH!3 since Spring 08.
    Metro Station since Fall 07.
    There are a few others that I can't think of right now..

    Wow, if Spring 08 was before 3OH!3 was famous, then I liked 'em before they "went big" as well. : D

    Other than that... well, none.

    Florence & the Machine, except they're not that big where I live, they're apparently very famous in the UK.

    Very very famous they are.

    I know a lot of American bands which just aren't big over here yet.
    I was listening to FOB before From Under The Cork Tree came out, in my country no one knew who they were then.

    Yeah; and a lot of people are just getting to know about Fightstar, which makes me upset, seeing as they only know of them for their newest album

    Yeah...about. I think Charlie was with them in clandestine before breaking from Busted. So about four-five years.

    I've known and loved Fightstar for 4 years.
    Cobra Starship, before they got slightly big in the UK. Now a lot of people know about them.
    I don't know anymore. :\

    Yeah, I love Cobra; I hung out with Gabe and Ryland before they were big; such sweet guys really. Though Alex didn't stay long /: He got sick, so it was just Gabe, Ryland and I....So nice.

    And I can't believe Fightstar's Paint Your Target vid got banned. The re-make wasn't as good.

    The Maine I've known them since like the end of 2007 but they just got really big and the girls are going crazy. Same with 3OH! 3 I knew them before Want came out and they became ~overrated.

    All Time Low. Around when they signed to Hopeless.
    Forever The Sickest Kids when Hey Brittany came out.
    Bring Me The Horizon right after their EP was released(because I live in America, that's not something that usually happens for me.)
    The Maine during The Way We Talk. I owe Tina for that.

    Fightstar, Billy Talent, Paramore, Muse (I knew them before even Origin Of Symmetry came out!), Kids In Glass Houses, Attack! Attack!, The Blackout, Cobra Starship (although not sure if these count...a friend used to speak to me about them years ago, but I never listened to them), Tokio Hotel (again, these probably don't count...I went on a German exchange about five years ago and picked up one of their CDs to buy, but my exchange partner told me to buy Killerpilze instead), Jonas Brothers (I heard their Busted covers right after they were recorded! :lmfao).

    There's probably a few more too but I can't think right now.

    Aw, yeah, I remember Mayday Parade when they were local; I've seen them a great number of times before they came out with their album that made them big...

    Tokio Hotel is pretty much it for me.
