It's not as impressive as touring with old ass emo kids and jock rockers, that's for sure.

While I am a total fanboy and feel the exposure would be good for American Steel, I am very glad this isn't a US tour so I don't have to go to an All American Rejects show.

Not really, they both have "American" in their band names, so clearly their music must be similar.

I incidentally listened to Background Music for the first time in ages yesterday because it was the first day of the season where it actually felt like fall. Good times.

Yes, but since a lot of bands treat them as separate runs (i.e. they'll do a UK tour and then a Europe tour separately) we mention both so people know it's both areas.

You could leave early. Or is it a matter of not wanting to pay an outrageous ticket price to see a half hour set from a band you like because they're openin g for one you don't?

I'm not sure how the UK will react to such an "American" tour.

Seriously though, this is fucking weird. I guess good exposure for American Steel? I mean, the 11-year olds who like shitty pop punk bands do occasionally grow into people who like real punk, this could be a good starting point for them.

Anal investigating
Bamboo inserting
Crusty
Dirty
Enema inducing
Fucking
Grunting

Jizz blending
Kangaroo raping
Lemon sucking

Varicose suffering
Wet tissue touching
Xylophone induling
