All in one place and such.

Cos (March 29, 2010)

a firestorm to purifyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

TheChemist (March 29, 2010)

Bro's are stoked.

ramblinboyofpleasure (March 29, 2010)

I would start with Smash or Ixnay on the Hombre, two classics then just work your way towards the new ones. Enjoy.

regulartrite (March 29, 2010)

weed smoking bro's are stoked

preston (March 29, 2010)

Pac Sun is going to be empty.

chadreligion (March 29, 2010)

Damn, I can only imagine how much college will be at these shows

thepopeofchili-town (March 29, 2010)

Lol.

d_boons_ghost (March 29, 2010)

Gotta get those tickets to Brofest '10.

shrapnel (March 29, 2010)

this may set a record for most collars popped in single vicinity

when i saw all of these bands were gonna be touring together, it made me think of this:

quickattack (March 29, 2010)

Haha that was pretty funny.

nphilthy91 (March 29, 2010)

Fat Mike let that happen to me.

d_boons_ghost (March 29, 2010)

I'll admit that I went through a (very) brief infatuation with Pepper back in high school when I friend told me that they're, "Exactly like Subime!" So I bought the CD "No Shame" and thought to myself, "Wow, this does sound like Sublime!" Then I woke up one morning and put on that album once more only to discover that it was fucking abysmal. NEVER AGAIN!

Still like Sublime, though.

d_boons_ghost (March 29, 2010)

It was like being aurally gangraped by Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews.

hashbrowns (March 29, 2010)

And seeing fat mike in the distance mouth the words "I'm sorry" as he turned around and walked away.

PaulPendley (Paul Pendley from Red City Radio) (March 29, 2010)

nice

ZachLeg (March 29, 2010)

Those two reigned supreme at my high school

TheGimper (March 29, 2010)

I would totally go to this if it was closer to Oklahoma. I've always wanted to see The Offspring and I really enjoy 20% of Pepper songs. However, the one time I went to a Pepper concert it was packed with a bunch of people I instantly hated.

notfeelingcreative (March 29, 2010)

Never understood all of the hate for Pepper, musically they're just basic white-boy reggae. I completely understand the hate for the typical pepper fan, though.

dX927 (March 29, 2010)

I think it was the "don't forget to lick the balls" part that got to me.

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

I'd be so happy if I could say, "I never saw the Offspring." Unfortunately, I have.

hashbrowns (March 29, 2010)

As did I. With cypress hill and mxpx when I was 14.

ZachLeg (March 29, 2010)

wow ha

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

In the meantime, all of these shows will be sold out and all of you "punker than thou" losers will be at home jacking off to andrew jackson jihad.

quickattack (March 29, 2010)

Big whoop

ExtraCheesePizza (March 29, 2010)

What can I say? Sean and Ben are pretty dudes.

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

I don't know dude. Neither of these bands draw like they used to. Unless one or both of these bands has a hit on the radio around this, I don't think there's going to be sold out show after sold out show.
I'll be home listening to good music, which is not AJJ, Offspring or 311.

dX927 (March 29, 2010)

I hate that band more than any of the bands on this tour though.

Misanthropee (March 29, 2010)

I take it we should be listening to Nickelback too, then?

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

Oh! You're the Authority Zero superfan!! Awesome!! So you just have terrible taste across the board.

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Well yeah. Acoustic music is the easiest to jack off too.

hashbrowns (March 30, 2010)

You, sir, are 100% correct

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Wait.... you actually think these shows are going to sell out?

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

He probably does. From what I can tell, this dude is short a chromosome and probably celebrates freestyle motorcross jumping and push moshing.

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Don't forget frat keggers and taking hits on big ol' bongs.

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

Let's hear your band. Post a link. I bet it's total shit.

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

His band is actually 311. Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. They're total shit and embarrassing for him to be a part of it.

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

bunch of clowns on this site, rereading your stupid posts and salivating over your creativity. you're all morons. get up off the computer and do something other than trying to impress the other morons with your wit.

...post up your band and let us hear how great you are. if you're in a great band go ahead and talk shit, otherwise shut up.

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Ok. Here's my band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnoaj8b2bGM

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

your band sucks

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Not after you here this instant classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InZNBcJTmWs

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

you want me to here it? ok hear goes ill check it out brah

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

the devil and maggie chascarillo - i gotta admit, i like it... keep talking brah!

ramblinboyofpleasure (March 29, 2010)

Hahaha this is brilliant, and he's absolutely spot on.

milesqtoast (March 29, 2010)

what happens 6 minutes after we leave and there's a whole new batch of morons sisyphus?

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

yes keep pushing that boulder

milesqtoast (March 29, 2010)

fair enough

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

I washed my raised pick up last night, is that something different? It got covered in mud when I drove to the bonfire over the weekend. Luckily, the trunk didn't fill with mud since it was packed up with Coors Light kegs we were going to use for keg stands later

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

wow, all the other morons are laughing so hard now.

hashbrowns (March 29, 2010)

Don't you mean sht?

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

It's terrible. None of us watching motoxcross, wear long shorts, tap out gear, have crooked hats and big dumb sunglasses. We used to wear pooka shelled necklaces but gave that up. We're hoping Natural Lite sponsors our tour; it's called "The Date Rapin' Brahs aXcross Amerika Tour."

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

wrong on all accounts. i'm laughing at your stupidity... by the way you sound pretty bro-ish, yourself

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Oh I get it! You're a troll! It all makes sense! Nobody in the year 2010 would love the Offspring, 311, Pepper, Authority Zero, and Pennywise this much unless they're in any of those bands.

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

what about, no use for a name, face to face, strung out, nofx, bad religion and rancid?

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

None of them get corporate air wave time compared to those other bands.

dntknowsht (March 29, 2010)

really? rancid has spent a little corporate time on the airwaves, so has br. isn't that bad? or do you lack the imagination to rip anything other than the easy targets

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

They only ever got their time in the sun back in the early 90's. Nothing that big since then. But my beef is how your bands that you are defending aren't really that creative at all and still flogging the same dead horse. Not taking any chances with their sound unless they try to ride on the success of Green Day at of late.

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

Has nothing to do with being on the radio, although, those 2 haven't really been on the radio in a very long time. Just has to do with being super shitty, ultra bleached white bread music.

Misanthropee (March 30, 2010)

Your face must be the most glorious shade of red when you type out this hilarity.

Hoobastank rulz!!!

dntknowsht (March 30, 2010)

i happen to be of american indian decent mr smooth. way to be a racist!

Sleater-Kinney sucks

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

I bet.

lookingforcorpses (March 29, 2010)

Are you into hackysacking? Or is it, "hacking?"

eran_zombis (March 29, 2010)

no no no you just described a Rise Against tour. This is an Offspring tour. Get that shit straight!

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Actually, I think he's describing a Shinedown tour.

mill83 (March 29, 2010)

I wonder how long it's been since 311 played in Denver and it WASN'T at Red Rocks...

Palzer_Boo (March 29, 2010)

I like Dexter Holland's Hot Sauce he brought out. Ohhhhhh...can I not wait for your responses!

akmofo (March 29, 2010)

Agreed, it is delicious!

jacknife737 (March 29, 2010)

It's legit.

dordon (March 30, 2010)

its fantastic.

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Me from 10 years ago and half my friends from then are stoked.

PaulPendley (Paul Pendley from Red City Radio) (March 29, 2010)

I miss your face.

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

I miss you even more. I'm trying to work shit out to go to Rad Fest. We'll play catch up there (hopefully).

PaulPendley (Paul Pendley from Red City Radio) (March 29, 2010)

That would be cool. Keep us updated.

MN_DrNick (March 29, 2010)

Oh for sure! Give me a little bit, like a week or two and will let y'all know.

holy_balls (March 29, 2010)

pass the bud light, brah!

ZachLeg (March 29, 2010)

*w/ lime

eddieairplanes (March 29, 2010)

Gentleman, pop your collars.

keithus (March 29, 2010)

I'm so excited I spilled Red Bull all over my Tapout shirt

john_boy (March 29, 2010)

Jones beach what a fucking surprise

JayTee (March 29, 2010)

I've been going to Offspring shows since '97, ditto 311 and I have not seen a single collar popped. Not once. Do you orgcore types ever leave your house/Summit/BandSandwichChronicles/StarbucksJob/?

ramblinboyofpleasure (March 29, 2010)

That means they would have friends and a life.

jacknife737 (March 29, 2010)

But why let logic get in the way, when they could be making asinine, inaccurate stereotypes?

lookingforcorpses (March 30, 2010)

The popped collars would be more a 311 thing, I think. But why have you been going to Offspring shows for that long? Do you work for them or something? You must be getting paid.

Socalrichkidonlsd (March 30, 2010)

Yea man I don't get the collar popping jokes either I havent seen any collars popped anytime I have seen these bands live. You got the wrong impressions of their fans. You guys should make fun of boardshorts and bongs if your cramping on peoples styles for this tour.

porksoda (March 30, 2010)

Offspring toured last Verizon Wireless amphitheater in Irvine last year. They couldn't even give away tickets. Seriously, they discounted all the tickets, including pit tix to $10 and it still didn't sell out. The Offspring used to be good...

punker001 (March 30, 2010)

Who the hell are 311???

necktattoo (March 30, 2010)

it stands for KKK duuuude.

PaulPendley (Paul Pendley from Red City Radio) (March 30, 2010)

and Korn stands for Kiddie Porn.

McHank (April 5, 2010)

Unity tour? more like Worst Tour Ever.
