I'm just saying we want to make emo kids/theater dorks go away, and the Army is having problems meeting recruiting goals. I think our two problems can solve each other.

Ohhh... those theater dorks. Gotcha.

That's a bad idea... Getting emo-kids in the US Army would be the best way to have Mexico declare war on you, and actually certainly beat your asses and take back California, New Mexico, Texas and Florida (at least).

Haha nice. We should save these -adball names for a later date. Don't wanna use too many in a Boys Like Girls and Good Charlotte thread.

Scary Kids Scaring Kids is a name stolen from a badass song by Cap'n Jazz. Dont let a shitty band ruin an amazing, influential group's reputation.

In no pearticular order:

True story!

It's funny, other than stuff on people's lists like THE CLASH and HUSKER DU, I saw all of these bands.

You are dead on about Jawbreaker dude, every time I saw them was the best time I ever had at a show.

My list would also contain:
Quicksand (would love to have seen them more than once)
Ramones (ditto)
Exploding Hearts (so fucking good)

Would like to have seen Danzig era MISFITS

5. 1983 clash

ok, i've got two bands on their twice. but i think it'd be worth it to see either of those bands twice.

i didn't wanna validify the lame ass, so i didn't respond.

sort of like when someone just starts repeating everything you say. pretty much the only defense is to stop talking.

it could be an inside job.

altho, come to think of it, i'd like to think that if it were one of "us", then it'd be more clever than it's been, right? i gotta think so.

blink182? really?

having seen them twice--once before they were huge (they hadn't yet added the "182" to their name), and once at the warped tour, after they were pretty big--, i gotta say "meh." both shows were about the same level of jr high school maturity. not bad, but also not great.
