NeckTattoo (May 24, 2011)

oh my god. this tour is like the 7th level of hell.

jeffrocentric (May 24, 2011)

seriously, this doesn't sound like fun. i'd rather watch lars and the bastards.

www.shinyglasshouses.wordpress.com

adriel_saint (May 24, 2011)

Punx!

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

It doesn't matter which bands are on it, if your tour is called "The Honda Civic Tour", you've automatically failed.

johnsmith (May 24, 2011)

It doesn't matter how nice the weather is in your city, if your stadium is called the "1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheater," you've automatically failed.

Mystereohasmono (May 24, 2011)

What do you mean? The Denslow Cup is held there every year.

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

Wow, I didn't even see that. That made me laugh. Reminds me of the opening scene of 'BASEketball'...

Mystereohasmono (May 24, 2011)

Dude

dX927 (May 24, 2011)

officials wanted the venue to be sponsored by a local business instead of a national one. it was originally the Ford Amphitheater.

cheesecakemafia (May 24, 2011)

i'd much rather it be some random guy's business than usual arena company sponsorship.

nickvicious (May 24, 2011)

+1. They could at least call it Honda presents the "_______ Tour". It seems like a step up.

Ryansapunk (May 24, 2011)

I would like to checkout one of those Canada dates.

MN_DrNick (May 24, 2011)

Nothing says awesome punk rock tour quite like Honda Civc and all those stadiums they're playing.

thepopeofchili-town (May 24, 2011)

These are ampitheaters. Still big, but nowhere near a stadium.

Mystereohasmono (May 24, 2011)

I think I speak for everyone when I say; Thanks for the clarification.

thepopeofchili-town (May 24, 2011)

There's a big difference between 15,000 people and 80,000 people. Punks use the word "Stadium" for anything bigger than a bar.

Mystereohasmono (May 24, 2011)

Who? And no, no they don't.

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

What stadium has 80k capacity?

Amphitheatre is just as bad as stadium. Fuck both of them.

dX927 (May 24, 2011)

most football stadiums

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

Are you sure? I was thinking 70k max.

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

Rose Bowl is 90k, but I think it's a special exception.

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

Do bands even still play football stadiums? Even in LA, the biggest concerts we get are barely 20,000 in capacity.

thepopeofchili-town (May 24, 2011)

U2 does. Metallica does. The Rolling Stones might. I think that's about it.

skolarx (May 24, 2011)

Kenny Chesney and Kid Rock do in Detroit. they are about the only ones though.

Misanthropee (May 24, 2011)

Tool still does I think; really big mainstream rap and country tours do all the time. Disturbed and Nickelback and shit bands like that probably do. I saw Jeff Beck in a stadium eight years ago.

Mammoth (May 24, 2011)

Please tell me, when has Tool ever played a football stadium?

Misanthropee (May 25, 2011)

I dunno you tell me...? I was making an assumption based on reading a couple times that their concerts sometimes drew over 30,000 after their last album. Too big for an arena or ampitheater.

andburntherest (May 24, 2011)

Beaver Stadium at Penn State holds 110,000. It's sick.

regreteverything (May 24, 2011)

Sick? Or siqq?

fretty (May 24, 2011)

after a long day of work, i like to go down to my favorite Applebees Stadium and get a nice steak.

MN_DrNick (May 24, 2011)

Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse meeeeeeeeeeeeee Mr. Skips Guitarwolf to see U2 at a venue bigger than 15,000.

thepopeofchili-town (May 24, 2011)

It was 80,000. Kind of what brought this whole thing on, and I'd do it again. But I still want to see Guitar Wolf sometime.

MN_DrNick (May 24, 2011)

Uh... Xcel is a hockey stadium. So yeah...

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

Did you just give the finger to the pope?

MN_DrNick (May 24, 2011)

What pope don't I give the finger to? I'm like Sinead O'Connor. I tear shit up.... Popes that is. Pics of them.

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

Fight the real enemy.

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

hXc for life

MN_DrNick (May 24, 2011)

Working my way up to being the new GG Allin.

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

Don't take showers and get a bag of carrots. You add some Antiseen records and you are 88% of the way there.

MN_DrNick (May 24, 2011)

Done and done. And I mean done!

cheesecakemafia (May 24, 2011)

think you forgot to finish.

jacknife737 (May 24, 2011)

Technically, it'd be an arena, no?

ugh (May 24, 2011)

Oh dude, because anything about this was even remotely punk in the first place...

lysdexia (May 24, 2011)

inb4 inevitable shitstorm

Mystereohasmono (May 24, 2011)

Is this the untimely end of Milhouse?

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

No, but it is the end of Zombie Shakespeare.

Mystereohasmono (May 24, 2011)

http://i.imgur.com/xOSqu.jpg

Baronvonfuckyoustien (May 24, 2011)

But my name is Milhouse?

johnsmith (May 24, 2011)

Wait, but I thought I was the only one!

Baronvonfuckyoustien (May 24, 2011)

this is what it must feel like when doves cry.

Babrook (May 24, 2011)

fuck yes Matt and Kim.

banal242 (May 24, 2011)

The music you loved appeals to the masses. You appeal to the masses now. You are no longer a rebel. Mourn your youth.

Heathbar (May 24, 2011)

You are awesome.

punk_sk (May 24, 2011)

The 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheater? Really? That's what you call the place?

loki13 (May 24, 2011)

There's a place in Phoenix called the Ashley Furniture HomeStore Pavilion...used to be called Cricket Pavilion...and was called Blockbuster Desert Sky Pavilion before that

thepopeofchili-town (May 24, 2011)

I went to Warped Tour at Cricket Pavillion in like 2005, and I thought it had a stupid name back then.

fretty (May 24, 2011)

i think you're supposed to call a guy named Gary and then he tells you what the name of the ampitheater is.

spitfire411 (May 24, 2011)

The arena in Nashville used to be called the Gaylord Entertainment Centre.

stifffinger (May 24, 2011)

It's Florida. We're weird.

xbat-mitex (May 24, 2011)

Shame on Rancid Against Me! for playing with a shit band like Blink 182. They each lose 15 punk points for this

thepopeofchili-town (May 24, 2011)

I remember my first beer.

milesqtoast (May 24, 2011)

brian mcgee?

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

I want a fake ID now.

skolarx (May 24, 2011)

perfection

adriel_saint (May 24, 2011)

I lol'd

johnsmith (May 24, 2011)

So are you implying that Blink 182 is no longer up the punx?!

xbat-mitex (May 24, 2011)

I am implying that Blink 182 was NEVER "Up The Punx"

Even re-releses on colored vinyl bought by my little sister who has never owned a record player in her life can't give them cred. If I was Ben Weasel I
woulda punched her the day she tried to be like "Hey look I bought some vinyl, I'm a real punk like you now"

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

Really? Does vinyl = punx? O_o

MuhammadMormon (May 24, 2011)

You make me embarrassed to be a Swingin' Utters fan...

cheesecakemafia (May 24, 2011)

and you make me embarrassed to be human

MuhammadMormon (May 24, 2011)

By all means, slit your wrists or blow your brains out.

Do it.

cheesecakemafia (May 24, 2011)

do you know what embarrassment is?

conblake (May 24, 2011)

rancid and against me lost way too many punk points each to even be able to LOSE 15.

xbat-mitex (May 24, 2011)

You do have a point there. My bad

Mammoth (May 24, 2011)

Stop typing and go do your hair.

xbat-mitex (May 25, 2011)

I have dreads, the only doing my hair is wrappin it

Skibz777 (May 25, 2011)

If you're white, you should be ashamed of yourself.

notfeelingcreative (May 24, 2011)

I don't understand why 1-800-ask-gary amphitheatre is so much more humorous than "Jiffy Lube Live"?

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

Call the number. That dude says some wacky shit.

R3vengeTherapy (May 24, 2011)

Don't forget Comfort Dental Amphitheater. This has been some recession, huh? Even dentists can afford arenas.

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

Dude, dentists and orthodontists make a shit ton of money. Look it up.

ABedForLiars (brittany) (May 24, 2011)

No one ever calls it that. It will always be Fiddlers Green.

milesqtoast (May 24, 2011)

Is ask gary just a florida a thing? cause you guys are missing out on some terrifically bad commercials if so.

notfeelingcreative (May 24, 2011)

Well I live in Florida, I've seen a few of the commericals but haven't had television in a bout 5 months.

Babrook (May 24, 2011)

I spend about a month a year in Central Florida, and all I remember are these

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISwrVMCZNUE

notfeelingcreative (May 24, 2011)

Ha Ha I moved to Jacksonville 5 years ago, but I still have memories of staying up after drinking watching TV where they just played appliance diurect commerical after appliance direct commercial for like an hour straight every friday.

milesqtoast (May 24, 2011)

haha yes. They still drop "FROM CLEVELAND!" on the local sports radio show when discussing anything cleveland related.

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

Nothing in the world was better than commercials in southern California in the 80s. Two words: Cal Worthington

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

Alas, I'm too young to remember Cal as anything more than a living mummy. The voice of my regional advertisement memories has to go to "...or your mattress is FREEEEEEEEEE!".

candypatrol (May 24, 2011)

Man, that dude is still alive and still insists on doing the commercials himself.

No more "Dog" named Spot (my favorite was the monkey), but he did have a stroke and half of his face doesn't move, which is kinda like a gimmick I guess....

My old man told me back in the early 70's 'ol Cal would buy full half-hour blocks of late night TV and do what was then the first kind of infomercials, which were apparently a lot of fun to watch while smoking grass and drinking Hamm's.

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

The monkey was great. Always loved the cow too.
That's awesome that he's still around. I miss home.

ExtraCheesePizza (May 24, 2011)

If tickets were less than $50, I probably would go to a Blink 182 / Rancid / Against Me concert. nostalgiaXcore

thepopeofchili-town (May 24, 2011)

Same. If AM! get added to the US dates I'd go, especially since I never got to see the other two bands.

coffee_kid (May 24, 2011)

Right there with you.

Anarchypants (May 24, 2011)

Good line-up but something feels wrong about the Honda Civic Tour at the Molson Amphitheater.

"I'd like to dedicate this first song to Smirnoff Ice"

punk_sk (May 24, 2011)

I hope someone dedicates a song to smirnoff ice now.

ChurchillActs (May 24, 2011)

"Our new Album is available at the Go-Daddy.com merch table!"

nickvicious (May 24, 2011)

According to their site the * means MCR won't be playing. Canada and Phoenix, you lucked out.

misterspike (May 24, 2011)

I have a hard time imagining Matt and Kim playing such big venues.

cheesecakemafia (May 24, 2011)

you know they play festivals right?

romanjsmith (May 24, 2011)

so fucking pissed toronto is getting no rancid or against me what the fuuuck

ChurchillActs (May 24, 2011)

This

nickvicious (May 24, 2011)

I'll trade you Against Me! for Propagandhi.

romanjsmith (May 28, 2011)

propagandhi are a bunch of white queer-lovers. you heard what australia said.

FLHC (May 24, 2011)

Matt and kim wtf why do i live in florida

the_other_scott (May 24, 2011)

there are so many worse things about living in Florida.

jakegreen (May 24, 2011)

i'll take "relevant bands of 2003" for $400

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

That's 'anal bum covers' Mr Connery

spitfire411 (May 24, 2011)

Gimme "Ape Tit" for 200.

notfeelingcreative (May 24, 2011)

Wait wait dude, are you selling penis mightiers?

spitfire411 (May 24, 2011)

Only to you Turd Ferguson

JayTee (May 24, 2011)

You're off by 6 or 7 years.

And if you mean Against Me!? You're wrong. They were never relevent. (said like "If you guessed Professor Marvin and Bleeding Gums Murphy, you're wrong, they were never popular."

jakegreen (May 24, 2011)

was talking about blink and mcr. and more or less rancid, but much more on the less side.

the_other_scott (May 24, 2011)

Rancid hasn't gotten repeat radio and MTV play since 94/95

blink 182 was huge in what, 1998/1999?

Had to look this up, but MCR hadn't even put out a major label release yet in 2003

so basically you are way, way off.

jakegreen (May 24, 2011)

relevant to me. relevant to what i listened to in 2003. relevant to what was cool to me when i was 12. didn't realize this was going to cause such an uproar/ confusion.

the_other_scott (May 24, 2011)

sometimes i forget that there are people who were only 12 in 2003.

jakegreen (May 24, 2011)

sorry my mom didn't get knocked up any sooner.

Mammoth (May 24, 2011)

Milf?

jakegreen (May 24, 2011)

i'm 8 years old and what is this

robalobadob (May 25, 2011)

I find it more scary that there are kids now who have been born post-2000 and their older siblings have never heard of Blink 182.

NobleStabbings (May 24, 2011)

No.

cheesecakemafia (May 24, 2011)

precisely.

jo_punk_promoter (May 24, 2011)

I've got to admit, i'm pretty excited for the Montreal show. I love the self titled and i'm stoked to see Manchester Orchestra.

CharlieLebowski (May 24, 2011)

ASK GARY!?

Are you serious?

Wait, were people supposed to pick local names JUST for this tour? Or is it ALWAYS the 1-800-ASK GARY?

Cuz DTE energy has been DTE for a long time.

jacknife737 (May 24, 2011)

So the Canadian show is just Blink/Rancid/Against Me!?

I'd really only be interested in catching AM!: although the other two would be fun in a nostalgia sort of way and i've never seen Rancid live yet. Eh, maybe i'll go if tickets aren't disgustingly expensive.

Skibz777 (May 24, 2011)

Here I always thought 737 was your area code.

spitfire411 (May 24, 2011)

It will be $70+

devianter (May 24, 2011)

sellouts tour

mcken1mw (May 24, 2011)

I think I'm going to go see this, to show how punk I am for going to a show that all the punks say isn't punk enough.

BASTARD_SQUAD (May 24, 2011)

I don't care if you or anyone goes to this tour.
Your argument is really silly though. That's like saying you are going to sit down with a fork and knife and enjoy eating a piece of dog shit 'because those boys across the street said it would be gross'

devianter (May 24, 2011)

u made my day, thanks :)

the_other_scott (May 24, 2011)

that's pretty much the most punk thing ever. just saying....

johnsmith (May 24, 2011)

My brain just fucking exploded!

ZachLeg (May 24, 2011)

"Lets Piss Off Punknews Tour 2011"

musicfiend2310 (May 24, 2011)

I want to go to two shows...Blink has to be one of my favorite bands of all time, and I used to love MCR. They are pretty awful now though. I still have to see Blink though.

cheesecakemafia (May 24, 2011)

mcr has ALWAYS been awful. not pretty awful, god awful. "i'm not okay (i promise)" are you shitting me? was that before they got "pretty awful" awful awful awful.

i-like-food (May 24, 2011)

THIS is Saskatchewan's AM! fix for the year? I'll pass

adriel_saint (May 24, 2011)

I will be at the Saskatoon and sing myself hoarse to all 3 bands. Love all of them. Stoked on this show

robalobadob (May 25, 2011)

You seem to be the only on the whole thread to be sincerely positive about this tour and I appreciate you for it.

stokd (May 28, 2011)

You and me both. It's going to be tough to not drink a shit ton of beer and have to go piss. It was a nightmare getting up front last time Blink came. Glad MCR isn't coming to this show though.

smorange7 (May 25, 2011)

3 of my favorite bands.

..... I'm not too punx to admit it.
