Your band blows, I really don't think you have any room to talk.

You're probably right, if I can't top it, why should I have an opinion? Fucking asshole.

You both have very valid points.

everyone needs to know what kind of toilet paper he used, what kind of shit was it, where did he shit at, and if a table was involved somehow.

Also, I'm going to wait for the American remake.

Any chance you have an old lumpy mattress?

wow. so my fear that i'd miss the next show came true. this really sucks.

MattRamone (November 24, 2008)

I can't wait to hear about Blake losing his virginity. Maybe that's why Jets broke up?

It's really just a cover of 'I'm too Sexy'

Yeah, but did they play Burn?

scientistrock (November 24, 2008)

in fact they did

necktattoo (November 24, 2008)

didn't read the article didya?

yeah, they played it

BMXpunk (November 24, 2008)

Where in the article did it say they played "Burn" ?? I saw the part about his ep "Heart Burns", but nothing about the song Burn.

Pacoco (November 24, 2008)

it says they played crime as forgiven by against me! in its entirety

BMXpunk (November 24, 2008)

Never mind... I skimmed it the first time.
Crime as forgiven by, didn't have Burn on it. Unless there is another copy out there with more songs on it. I haven't really paid much attention to these guys after Clarity, but I know my 7" of Crime didn't include Burn.

deadelectromix (November 24, 2008)

The cd had it as a bonus track.

necktattoo (November 24, 2008)

either way I meant this part of the article "and the furious, rarely-played "Burn," truly igniting the crowd"

deadelectromix (November 24, 2008)

Excuse me, I'm going to go listen to Crime for the next week.

ohcomely (November 24, 2008)

okay, all of those videos and the knowledge that i wasn't there makes me a die a little inside. did anyone film burn or shit stroll though? i can't find either.

Saw Tom last night in Pittsburgh. Good show. Lots of old stuff. Kind of annoying crowd but still a really good time.

so what?

dandangoose (November 24, 2008)

took you guys a long enough time to post about this......

It's a shame that most of the people there probably had no idea what he was playing and had no appreciation for it.

Welaughedatdanger (November 24, 2008)

That's not even remotely true. I was 4 feet from tom for the entirety of the set. Everyone surrounding me knew every word to the songs. When he played burn everyone there lost there shit. I'm sure if it was warped tour it would have been different but I can say for a fact the old stuff was much appreciated.

Angiepants (November 24, 2008)

Well, that's good. Glad to have been proven wrong.

xote (November 24, 2008)

That dude was one of the only cool people in the band.

Codu (November 24, 2008)

"We just don't play that song (burn) anymore."

flannagin94 (November 24, 2008)

I should have went to this show

Stop it!
