tom gabel strikes again

Spooky (September 2, 2008)

Heh, nice

Dudley_Shale (September 2, 2008)

See, this proves that karmically, if you listen to shitty music, shitty things will happen to your face.

the_other_scott (September 2, 2008)

really?

MattRamone (September 2, 2008)

Backed.

grownfromthecold (September 2, 2008)

Oh, you two and your hatred of this band... I don't know how you can enjoy the monotony of Bad Religion more than the diversity of Radiohead. One is boring and one is exciting.

MattRamone (September 2, 2008)

Down syndrome, AIDS gnone, dial tone, etc.

veganboyjosh (September 2, 2008)

are you listing things you find boring, or exciting? i just can't tell...

MattRamone (September 2, 2008)

I was talking about the avant garde porno I'm making with Eon Mackai.

veganboyjosh (September 2, 2008)

my favorite quotes from such:

"in my eyes it's in my eyes!!!"

"you're a small man."
"yes. but i have a big mouth."

badbrain (September 2, 2008)

don't forget

"fill her"
"tossed salad days"
good girls wear white on their face"

alright i'm reaching now

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

(Tossed) salad days?

Sometimes good guys (are covered in white)

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

Old...slow

Dudley_Shale (September 2, 2008)

hahaha. I remember.

grownfromthecold (September 2, 2008)

And on a side note, that is really, really, really fucked up. My blood boils when I read shit like that. I hate cops, every single fucking one of them. I've never met a decent cop in my life, even friends of my family. And go figure, this guy I used to be best friends with, who turned into a total fucking asshole, is now joining the LAPD.

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

Security Guards aren't cops. They are barely Cavemen. There are good cops, lots of shitty ones but plenty of good guys too.

veganboyjosh (September 2, 2008)

steve speaks the truth. where else would the phrase "good cop, bad cop" come from?

wonton (September 2, 2008)

crappy 80's buddy cop movies.

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

You mean AWESOME 80s buddy cop movies.

Dead Heat fucking rules

veganboyjosh (September 2, 2008)

i'm with steve. i'm not aware of any crappy buddy cop movies from the 80's.

veganboyjosh (September 2, 2008)

they're like....mutually exclusive or something.

damnitsderek (September 2, 2008)

"This isn't 'good cop, bad cop'. This is 'Fag and New Yorker'."

grownfromthecold (September 2, 2008)

True, there are good cops. I've just never met them.

victim (September 2, 2008)

look in the cemetary

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

Having read that whole article, you are fucking dead-on. Fuck all of those assholes.

jacknife737 (September 2, 2008)

I know, I can't understand why people listen to Radiohead either.

Dudley_Shale (September 2, 2008)

I'll respond with three words.

"Gabba gabba hey"

the_other_scott (September 2, 2008)

you two are totally missing the point. sean and phil are good guys who contribute to a scene that promotes fun, unity, all agedeness (yeah, i said it) and great punk rock. pretty balsy for somebody that lists choking victim as a favorite band to call out radiohead fans on taste in music.

Dudley_Shale (September 2, 2008)

I didn't list Choking Victim.

However, it sucks they were beat.

leecorsoisapenis (September 2, 2008)

God, your face must be fucked then.

Jim

Dudley_Shale (September 2, 2008)

If you don't like the Descendents then delete your account, buy gun, kill self.

leecorsoisapenis (September 2, 2008)

Hey, the Decendents are great. I'm not the one who doesn't like Radiohead.

Jim

Dudley_Shale (September 2, 2008)

Radiohead are possibly the worst band of all time.

Let me explain the dynamics of my brain:

The Ramones could bust out six songs in eight minutes, and it'd be the most amazing thing ever. Eight minutes is like one Radiohead song, and thats if they hold back on the theramin solo.

655321 (September 2, 2008)

of all time? What about Coldplay?

Nameless (September 2, 2008)

Hmmm... can we call it a tie?

Dudley_Shale (September 3, 2008)

I'd rather listen to Coldplay than Radiohead, even though they fucking suck.

King_Rodney (September 2, 2008)

Now that's a hyperbole if I ever saw one. Cause no one's worse than Saliva.

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

*cough* CREED *cough*

damnitsderek (September 2, 2008)

Um, SEETHER?

"I wanna...GO HOME...AND GET STONED"

Dudley_Shale (September 3, 2008)

Nickelback is up there, too.

damnitsderek (September 3, 2008)

Well, I felt that doing so much as acknowledging their existence would put some kind of curse on me.

billnye (September 2, 2008)

ok descendents and minor flag, rule but everything else is shitt

chickswithdicks (September 2, 2008)

that's f'd up.

wonton (September 2, 2008)

im disturbed.

veganboyjosh (September 2, 2008)

this thread is not gonna endwell.

chickswithdicks (September 2, 2008)

certainly not with that kind of Negative Approach

Torgo (September 2, 2008)

Those security guards certainly weren't just a Minor Threat

MattRamone (September 2, 2008)

They were probably just jealous of their hundreds of merch designs.

Spazner (September 2, 2008)

Um yeah, but seriously, if that LA Weekly account is true, that really is fucked up.

MattRamone (September 2, 2008)

Hahahaha I see what you did thurr.

mikexdude (September 2, 2008)

That's Fucked Up.

Tobin_Ownlife (September 2, 2008)

The really fucked up part about this is that it doesn't sound like the security guards had jurisdiction outside the venue or at least that far away from it. So, all I can think about is the fact that guards just wanted to beat these guys that badly, and they knew they could get away with it. Bro mother fuckers.

blue_drink (September 2, 2008)

The security guards took out their dislike of Radiohead on an unsuspected person and a few guys with a camera.

This is why Radiohead should end their career! (No, I'm just kidding.)

mikexdude (September 2, 2008)

No, don't kid... Radiohead is HORRIBLE.

blue_drink (September 2, 2008)

I was kidding about kidding.

mikexdude (September 2, 2008)

Excellent.

kencollapse (September 2, 2008)

"currated"? Like on a scale between rapscallion and paladin, Keith Morris rated it a 'cur'?

the_other_scott (September 2, 2008)

really?

Thus_Spoke_Sean (September 2, 2008)

well, i wont give you tooo much shit because the word was actually spelled wrong, but still:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=curated#sh arethis

wonton (September 2, 2008)

this is actually really fucked up.
it disturbs me how another person can witness this and not do anything.

i hope these fucks get the hell sued out of them.

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

They will, especially if its on tape. Its called Malfeasance and they're fucked... They deserve the worst

Dante3000 (rich) (September 2, 2008)

Ice-T would know what to do.
-Dante

veganboyjosh (September 2, 2008)

call stabler and benson, and let them open a can o'whupass?

damnitsderek (September 2, 2008)

Or make an awkward Jewish joke to Munch, perhaps?

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

Are we talking selling his soul to Dell computers or becoming a shitty actor. Neither of those are very useful in this situation.

Dante3000 (rich) (September 2, 2008)

I meant marry a white woman with a huge prosthetic ass.
Anyhow, you will bite your tongue on all issues "T" related. Need we forget his epic line from New Jack City? "I wanna shoot you so bad, my dick is hard." That line absolves him of all future sins.
-Dante

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

When you say 'T' you better mean "MR". And I'll take Ice Cubes shitty acting over Ice T's.

Hey_ska (September 2, 2008)

We live in an unforgiving place.

Wentz_Equals_Death (September 2, 2008)

i went to this on saturday and it fuckin ruled

paint it black and off with their heads were there too, so let's not start complaining about shitty music just yet. it was a blast, and i am currently writing my first review submission for pn.o

bigmondo (September 3, 2008)

you know. i waited in line forever and when we got to the front they wouldn't let my friend in because she had a camera. so we said fuck it. left, and drove to pomona to see hot water music. worth it i suppose.

my friend who got in, said it was so not worth it, and he got in for free. also, o pioneers were there with him and they agree with him completely. now the strike anywhere/ paint it black show on sunday put on by the same people is another story.

Wentz_Equals_Death (September 3, 2008)

interesting. i paid $20 to see 7 bands i really wanted to see while hanging out with a couple friends and getting quite drunk, so i must say it was sweet for me.

my review is going to say this same thing but in like 50000 more words

Dudley_Shale (September 2, 2008)

F No!

BarleyPat (September 2, 2008)

any other Filipino's here?

if so, where exactly?

it'll really suck if im the only one :(

baldsteve (September 2, 2008)

Downloads plz?
I like Gaslight

BarleyPat (September 2, 2008)

I finally got to listen to that Banner Pilot stream you guys have been talking about on here, good stuff.

dlangl4 (September 2, 2008)

They all died in the great war, rip, you are the last one in existence

b0cephus (September 2, 2008)

This wouldn't have happened if ICE-T were around...

damnitsderek (September 2, 2008)

These guys are the reason that so many people dislike police and security. It'd be nice if when they running through traffic, a bus would have hit a couple of those guards.

Dudley_Shale (September 3, 2008)

This wouldn't have happened if Pete Wentz was around...
