1) The band started out in 1995. They released their debut cd, 'Hard Jet Super Flash', in 1997. The cd got really great coverage throughout the press. Most of '98 went on with what the do best: partying and supporting AGF (their local football team) + an occasional rehearsal session and a few shows.
However, by August '98 gravity of reality made them realize that if this band wanted to make it a bit further than just ok, some adjustments had to be carried out. A real hard decision was to be made. Thus, on their knees, it could turn either way: a total split or a swift recruitment of new blood.
A new guitarplayer, Dr. Jay, was found and a new leadsinger, Butch. Butch has added a lot of full throat lungs to the band's approach and obviously; tightness. Early '99: intense rehearsing prior to the recordings of 'Beerserk'. Recordings and mixing took place during February/March '99. In May '99 Barcode played their first big international tour, supporting Madball on their "Look My Way" European tour.
Summer 2000 Barcode Appeared at Germany's prestigious With Full Force Festival, alongside labelmates Disrespect.
2001: Originally, the new album 'Barcode Hardcore' was scheduled for a late 2000/early 2001 release, however, massive bass & drum difficulties forced them to drop touring and songwriting and instead focus on auditioning bass and drum candidates. BUT, the wait was worthwile, 'cuz with new bass player, Snik1, and new drummer, Snick2, the unit is now stronger than ever.
Barcode's new album "Hardcore" was released on the 15 th. of january 2002. Since then the band have recorded some covermaterial and toured.
DISCOGRAPHY:
Hard Jet Super Flash (97)
Beerserk (99)
Hardcore (02)
Showdown (05)
The band named Barcode that is on the split 7" with Ex Ignota is a different band than the band by the name of Barcode that has its presence here. The Barcode on the 7" with Ex Ignota was started in September (or was it earlier) 1994 and lasted until July 1995 in Ithaca, New York.
2) Metal / Hardcore / Rap band Barcode was formed in Belgrade, Serbia, sometime in the year 2000. When SubZero (guitars and vocals) and Dushko (drums) showed interest to join the band that Cike, Brancode and Vaz (vocals) and Mrdja (bass) were forming. With such talented musicians, a large amount of mutual understanding in their individual style diversity, lots of good songs were made in short periods of time.
Few months after the band was formed Mrdja had to quit the band due to his evolving obligations in the Belgrade philharmonic orchestra. Far steps in on the bass.2001, Vaz quits also the band because of his professional obligations. Short after, feeling that they have reached a certain level of maturity as a band, Barcode begins to play gigs in Serbia, and is very well accepted by the audience. They record the tune called Holding me down, released on Forces of anger, a Multimedia records (Universals label) CD.
Between 2001 and 2005, Barcode has played concerts with many bands, such as Good eye closed, Tea Break, Yobo, Eyesburn, Flip out, Impurita and many others.
In April 2005 Barcode is facing the final breakdown as Dushko leaves the band. Few months of agony are instead of them, because no drummer was satisfying their demanding needs, until young Johnny stepped up out of nowhere and completely amazed the entire crew with his energy and maturity on the drums.
November 2005, Barcode finally enters the studio (Akademija) to record a full 12 track album. With powerful lyrics and even more powerful and moving music they describe the reality surrounding them. A must listen to tracks are Confusion, Paranoia, Holding me down .
During its scene career Barcode played among all its gigs on some festivals such as RDzDz Festival, Out Of Melody Fest, NBG summer festival, opened up the 25th anniversary of Radio 202 and many others.
3) Trip hop/Acid jazz project by Dan Grigson and Stephen Cracknell.
Winners Cheat
Barcode Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've gained the respect
I am throwing weight around
Now I correct
All common sense that ever gets in my way
What I lack in brains I have in digits on my pay check
And I push it way too far
I'd still keep on belching out unreasonable orders
There's only one way to always win
Gotta play the game smart - saints lose so I sin
Fairness won't build no reputation
Winners cheat and cheat hard
Still respected
The lyrics to Barcode's song "Winners Cheat" describe the mindset of an individual who has achieved success through any means necessary, including resorting to deceitful behavior. The opening lines suggest that the individual is proud of their title and the respect that they have earned, which they believe entitles them to throw their weight around and disregard common sense. Despite lacking intelligence, the individual takes great pride in their wealth and power, suggesting that these are the only factors that matter to them.
As the song progresses, the lyrics make it clear that the individual is willing to go to great lengths to maintain their position at the top, even if it means ignoring the needs and pleas of those around them. The lyrics suggest that the individual's success is not based on fairness or merit, but rather on their willingness to cheat and manipulate the system to their own advantage.
Overall, the song is a cynical commentary on the nature of success in modern society, highlighting the ways in which individuals are often able to rise to the top by exploiting others and disregarding ethical norms.
Line by Line Meaning
Now I've got the title
I have acquired a position of power or authority
And I've gained the respect
People now hold me in high esteem due to my position and power
I am throwing weight around
I am abusing my power and authority to get what I want
Now I correct
I put down anyone or anything that opposes me or my actions
All common sense that ever gets in my way
I disregard reason and logic in favor of my own desires and goals
What I lack in brains I have in digits on my pay check
Although I am not intelligent, I am compensated well for my work
And I push it way too far
I take my power and abuse it beyond what is reasonable or necessary
Even if all you fuckers came begging on your knees
Even if everyone were to beg me for something, I would still prioritize my own desires
I'd still keep on belching out unreasonable orders
I continue to give out commands or tasks that are unjustifiable or unreasonable
There's only one way to always win
In order to succeed constantly, one must cheat or take shortcuts
Gotta play the game smart - saints lose so I sin
In order to come out on top, one must be cunning and not follow the rules like those who are 'good', or 'saints'
Fairness won't build no reputation
Being fair or just does not necessarily lead to success or a good reputation
Winners cheat and cheat hard
Those who come out on top cheat mercilessly and without remorse
Still respected
Even though I cheat and abuse my power, people still hold me in high esteem because of my success and position of authority

It really is random even when you always buy 10 in a row. You might have 3 or more winners from 10 but it’s not always. I’ve had days where I had no winner out of 10 in a row. And cried.

Angel Cruz buy the next one. As a experienced scratcher, sometimes it takes 6-7 tickets and a lot of times big winners come after many duds(not always) but for me it’s about half the time. I’ve chased 10 tickets and won $20 lost $180. I’ve also gone in and bought two 20’s and won back to back $1000 and $100 best win so far for me.

It's luck of the draw. I met a guy who barely played and hit 500k. It's right place right time

Now this sounds like the truth! I'm so fkn sick and tired of losing I'm about to stop playing that crap.
steve Kos
@Witchcraft William If everyone plays long enough, their outcomes will be similar to each other's. If guy you mentioned won big without having barely ever played before, and therefore didn't really pay his dues to win big, then chances are, he won't win something big again for a long time, whereas someone whose gone through a lot of scratch-off tickets over years and yet still hasn't won big yet, is more likely to win big before that guy you mentioned is to win like that again.

@210chronik210 was it from the beginning of the roll? A few days ago i have purchased a ticket and didn't know it was the first ticket in the roll. I have won $200. So it has to be from the beginning .
