SS: Hey, everyone says we sound just like a ripoff of Sublime.
Pep: Us too! That's so strange that you say that!
SS: Are you thinking what I am thinking?
BOTH: CO-HEADLINING TOUR!!!!
Pep: Yay!!!! I'll go tell the boys, you start making the invitations!

Not to mention that the these two bands have done at least three co-headlining tours in the past four years. At the risk of losing all of their homophobic fans, I say they just become 'life partners' and call it a day!

UGGG... Sublime, ripoffs of Sublime, no thanks.

Report

noondi34 (May 15, 2008)

so you're saying that nobody should sound like Sublime at all? Sublime were the innovators of their genre and therefore nobody else will have an equal amount of respect? remember, Sublime originally signed Slightly Stoopid

Someone (May 15, 2008)

I'm saying nobody should sounds like Sublime. Fuck those dudes, they weren't originators of shit, they didn't even get the OD shit right. You are supposed to croak AFTER success.

Fuck them in the ass with a bong.

I'll answer those questions in order:

No, so that underage date-rape may be prevented.
No, Sublime didn't innovate shit, but naming your band Slightly Stoopid means that you deserve less respect than Sublime.

Pepper are assholes. They were such dicks at bamboozle. they ripped on every band there.

thebigtakeover (May 15, 2008)

I know they're a huge bro band, but slightly stoopid still puts on an amazing show. I saw them back in September and they played something from every single on of their releases, including their early punk stuff.
It was one of the best shows I have ever been to.

(I guess it doesn't hurt that people were passing around spliffs like candy.)

See, I feel the same way about Pepper, but not so much stoopid. I've always found them to be kind of boring live.

"The bill will feature support from reggae/dub act Sly & Robbie."

Upon first glance, I read this as "regrettable act" and promptly thought, 'Isn't every act on this tour regrettable'?

Why can't we, in all our efforts to be a greener society, coerce these bands into not touring...

Kinda odd that they would travel all the way down to Boca Raton and the only other Florida date is St. Augustine. Why no Miami, Orlando, Tampa, or Jax?

Oh shit, I hadn't heard of Sly & Robbie before this, and reading up on them, Jesus Christ you're right. It's like having The Who open up for Nickelback.

Also, dude's last name is totally Shakespeare, straight-up. That is immeasurably badass. Even though it means his family were slaves at one point. Actually, just being Jamaican means that. Shit.

all of you people are so damn caught up in your punk ethics to appreciate some different types of good music every once in awhile. im not speaking as much for pepper, but SS have done everything independently and they are ALWAYS touring, and they play extremely well live. and to everyone who trys to say SS is just ripping off sublime, brad nowell was a big fan of SS and actually signed them to Skunk. Check the SS dvd performance of Basher feat. Angelo Moore. Fabulous piece of music.
