epitaph really went downhill in the last 10 years

Someone (August 8, 2007)

death to epitaph

GlassPipeMurder (August 8, 2007)

i would say in the last 3-4 years...they were still decent in '03 and '04. and MCS is pretty good compared to most of their new signings anyway.

ibitchslappedyourmama (August 8, 2007)

ok 10 years was a bit of a stretch but i'd say more like 5 or 6 years

Someone (August 10, 2007)

Why? Because they have the integrity to sign good bands despite their musical style? Shut the fuck up.

Someone (August 8, 2007)

I can't believe there is an International Ska Circus. Someone tell these no talent assclowns to give it up, or I'm going to put a bullet in my brain.

Someone (August 8, 2007)

ska requires a hell of a lot more talent than most music.

die_die_die (August 8, 2007)

I dare you.

Centrics_Design (August 8, 2007)

double dog....

brown (August 8, 2007)

triple coney island dog with onions, ketchup, relish, hot peppers, hold the mustard, dare you..

niveK82 (August 8, 2007)

I don't know the lineup of it but I can bet it is 100% better than this tour.

Someone (August 8, 2007)

Why can't MCS tour with someone good?

I hate Anberlin with a passion.
I wanna punch their singer in the throat.

Thus_Spoke_Sean (August 8, 2007)

my thoughts exactly, but i missed them on their last tour, so now i must endure this crapfest before MCS.

damnitsderek (August 8, 2007)

On their last tour, they had The Higher opening up for them.

Trust me, Anberlin is 100 times better than going through THAT.

Albert_Belle (August 8, 2007)

I think the guy is hilarious, just look at him. "Let's go boys do do do do.....do do do do!

Someone (August 8, 2007)

That guy is the weirdest looking guy I've ever seen.

He looks like he should be driving a van offering little kids some candy.

punk_rawk_show (August 8, 2007)

Hahah im going to get shit for this but Anberlin are fucking good live and Cities is one hell of a cd

Someone (August 9, 2007)

finally someone with brains...

Someone (August 8, 2007)

So I have a drug test tomorrow around 11 and I smoked pot like, 13 days ago. If I drink a lot of water and stuff, do you think I'll be able to pass it? And other tips would be great.

mikeinflames (August 8, 2007)

there's no way to get drugs out of your system faster than they naturaly disappear. unless you get a blood transfusion.

Someone (August 8, 2007)

how long are they normally there? I'm not a regular user, so I don't really know too much about that kind of stuff.

die_die_die (August 8, 2007)

You just need a needle and the blood of a hooker, ironically enough they can both be found in whore houses.

die_die_die (August 8, 2007)

Oh! He can get some cool, white blood!

Someone (August 8, 2007)

haha, except that I'm a girl.

ChokingVictim (August 8, 2007)

it should be out of your system naturally, however, to be safe, drink a shitload of water until your pissing clear, then take vitamin b pills, which will make your piss yellow, so the person administering your ua doesnt think somethings up

Ollywood (August 8, 2007)

I've had a friend pass a pot test less than a week after he smoked. It all depends on how much and how often you smoke. You probably will be fine.

ChokingVictim (August 8, 2007)

marijuana lasts in your system much shorter than it is made out to be. when i was on probation i found that it took approximately 24 hours per bowl smoked, and the process can be sped up by drinking water or alcohol (anything to make you urinate more, thus cleaning your system). all the "3 weeks" claims are a joke

mikeinflames (August 8, 2007)

not true. nothing will make it pass out of your blood system faster. however you are right about it not lasting in your blood very long. if it's been a week the person should be fine. the levels of thc will be minute at best.

ibitchslappedyourmama (August 8, 2007)

youre fucked

Someone (August 8, 2007)

did you know you had a drug test coming up? Is this drug test for a job?

Someone (August 8, 2007)

When I smoked, I didn't know I did. I had applied for a job a few weeks earlier and my mom (who also happens to work at the place I applied) told me like, 2 days after I smoked that I had an interview. I went to that and then they called me back in a few days and I had my second interview today. They were going to make me go today and get tested, but I managed to get it to be tomorrow. So basically, if I fail this, I'm fucked because my mom will obviously know, since she works there.

JoshCBFL (August 9, 2007)

Good job.

SkolarX (August 8, 2007)

i once passed one the day after i smoked, but i wasn't a regular smoker so i don't know how long it really stays in your system. one of my old roommates just failed one and he said he hadn't smoked for like 3 weeks before and he was a heavy smoker.

Someone (August 8, 2007)

yeah, I've only smoked like 3 times. Once on 4/20, and then sometimes in early july and then 2 Fridays ago. So I'm not sure.

ChokingVictim (August 8, 2007)

you'll be fine. i smoked my little heart out when i was on probation, got tested regularly, and passed every one.

damnitsderek (August 8, 2007)

I'm on probation, drank alcohol last on Saturday morning at 5, and had a UA Tuesday afternoon at about 12:30. Think it'll show up on the results? The guy told me it can detect alcohol up to four days prior to the testing.

GlassPipeMurder (August 8, 2007)

go drink some Propel!!!!

SkolarX (August 8, 2007)

the new stuff motion city played last week sounded great. i'm really looking forward to the new record

Someone (August 8, 2007)

I had to pass a test for a job, so I had a friend piss in a little bottle for me and taped hand warmers to it. ThenI duct taped it to the inside of my boxers. I sat in the waiting room for like 45 minutes, and it was still good to go...I passed...

Thus_Spoke_Sean (August 8, 2007)

They also posted a new single on iTunes. Its called "This is For Real" and its prettttty excellent. more upbeat than broken heart.

RefusedRok855Fin (August 8, 2007)

Much for this to come over sea to my area, very much to Motion Soundtrack, last CD was very fuck for me and first was quite rock too. Opening bands not very for me i think but to see M.C.S. would be very great for many to see for us.

Nameless (August 8, 2007)

Anberlin and Mae???

Dammit, Motion City Soundtrack! Why such the sucky openers?

Someone (August 8, 2007)

Anberlin is writing some of the best catchy music around these days even if it is laced in god rock. As for all this piss test talk, must suck to be American where the war on pot is a war on your own people. I think Ill go smoke some BC buds right about now.

Nameless (August 11, 2007)

I have no problem with the "god rock." The band just bores me.

lostcausegiveup (August 8, 2007)

possibly the best band i've ever seen live. and i've seen a couple hundred bands....(not bragging, just giving comparison for how good these motherfuckers are)

Someone (August 9, 2007)

OOOOOOOOOO! you've seen a few hundred bands???? FUUUUUUUUUUCK that's real dope! Wuz your couzin in any of themz? DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!

ok you get it but man i'm fuckin HIGH.

damnitsderek (August 8, 2007)

These guys are fantastic live. I've noticed they tour with some pretty bad or mediocre bands though. Either way, seeing the openers is well worth the MCS show.

Someone (August 9, 2007)

BIlly Ray Cyrus' kid (not hannah montana) is in Metro Station.

superskabro (August 9, 2007)

No Indianapolis date? Typical.

lostcausegiveup (August 9, 2007)

wait, was that derogatory? i couldn't tell, because you have the vocabulary of the, wait, what's the p.c. term.....(the retarded?))))
