mikexdude is not stoked.

avodrocyelir (May 18, 2009)

this is the first thing i thought when i read this article, before i even opened the comments.

Scarysmurf (May 18, 2009)

Black President > The Gaslight Anthem

Scarysmurf (May 18, 2009)

..really?
I got no one to bite?
Fuck.

ExtraCheesePizza (May 18, 2009)

No one had any argument against such flawless logic.

badbrain (May 18, 2009)

There's no point in trolling before noon

leecorsoisapenis (May 18, 2009)

Detroit Red Wings > Chicago Blackhawks

in fact, A Kick in the Crotch > Chicago Blackhawks.

MPC (May 18, 2009)

I endorse this statement. I'm not much of a hockey fan but at least it will be a respite from the Lions and a rebuilding year for the Pistons. Oh, and go Tigers.

leecorsoisapenis (May 18, 2009)

I don't know why, but every year I get pumped about a new Lions season, only to be disappointed every time. I actually have high hopes for this year. I don't know why, but I do.

Also, I'm looking forward to seeing what the Pistons do. It should be interesting.

Scarysmurf (May 18, 2009)

I dont disagree.
But I think we WERE the hotter team going into the series. Not after that game though.
I see the Wings taking it in 5 or 6.
But hope I am way wrong.

avodrocyelir (May 18, 2009)

i agree, but also hope you are wrong.

thatsyouth (May 18, 2009)

Haha!

Ryan from OWTH said "We are sitting at the bar in "There's Something about Mary" where matt dillon and ben stiller discuss what she has been up to. Awesome."

Now I have to watch that movie again

kneel (May 18, 2009)

great movie but these days i cant watch anything more cringe-worthy than the office.

curb your enthusiasm and meet the parents and the like leave me writhing in pain on the living room floor in the fetal position, wishing i wasnt so sympathetic.

Preston (May 18, 2009)

I don't see them. If they're there, they are nowhere in the field of focus.

mill83 (May 18, 2009)

I hope this was meant for your Twitter feed or something and you just fucked up. Otherwise, I'm not sure why anyone would care.

ExtraCheesePizza (May 18, 2009)

Sucks to be Europe, I'm seeing 7 Seconds and None More Black as openers.

VictorIkpeba24 (May 18, 2009)

:'(

PtvnSux94 (May 18, 2009)

Sucks to be you, I am seeing None More Black and Lifetime as openers.

ExtraCheesePizza (May 18, 2009)

I'm seeing them all because I got tickets for both Philly nights, but I'm not really as much a Lifetime or Tim Barry fan.

kevgren (May 18, 2009)

Sweet, brah.

MattRamone (May 18, 2009)

Nickelback fans in Europe are stoked.

misterspike (May 18, 2009)

A Black President. Yeah, like That'll ever happen.

badbrain (May 18, 2009)

they're actually changing their name to Half-Black President

Whoostin (May 18, 2009)

Black President to support the playing of crappy punk rock. Uggh these guys suck. That dude Charlie from Golfinger's guitar skills are wayyy overrated, Hetson will out shred him any day!

PtvnSux94 (May 18, 2009)

I saw them live. Don't get it. Some people were really into it. They kind of looked like an emo motorcycle gang.

Dante3000 (rich) (May 18, 2009)

They played here this last Saturday. Not going to make a judgment call as I wasn't around for most of their set but they were the last band and about 50% of the crowd left before they played.

I don't know who Black president are and I don't care...Im getting to see The Souls again

mill83 (May 18, 2009)

Happy to see the Souls getting support from Obama. DERP!

Reba99 (May 18, 2009)

I remember at Riot Fest when my girlfriend had a panic attack and we had to call an ambulance. The Black President guys (particularly Mr. Paulson) thought the ambulance and fire truck would make such a cool band photo background that they just had to take advantage of sucha kick-ass photo op.

Before the band photo, I remember Charlie yelling at the band about how much their set sucked. It was really funny.

Cyanotic (May 18, 2009)

Hilarious.

ashtraymonument (May 18, 2009)

who wants to start a band called white president with me? we can dress up in blackface and everything.

Babrook (May 18, 2009)

These guys are, and I quote their set in Cleveland (and likely every other show they have ever done) a 'REAL punk band, 'cause they have STDs and Criminal Records'.

Worst band I have ever had the displeasure of seeing.

Munker (May 18, 2009)

P.O.S. is also supporting, and more worthy of noting.
