March 25, see you there. Completely worth skipping the Mad Men premiere for.

majic (January 18, 2012)

incorrect.

niveK82 (January 18, 2012)

entertaining the thought to catching it in Milwaukee too.

you in?

Half_Idiot (January 18, 2012)

Hmmmm, very good chance of it even if it is at The Rave.

thepasswordistaco (January 18, 2012)

its like weezer's memories tour only awesome

Blades (January 18, 2012)

this

lostcausegiveup (January 18, 2012)

i guess it's time to party hard

skolarx (January 18, 2012)

I think that's right about 10 years to the date after I saw him live for the first time. One of the best live shows ever

SteveMcQueen (January 18, 2012)

Holy shit, was just listening to this. In for NYC.

Half_Idiot (January 18, 2012)

Oh yeah, New York City?

warbrain (January 18, 2012)

seems like he loves new york city. oh yeah, new york city.

wrecktheplacefantastic (January 18, 2012)

A little bummed that the NYC show is on a Monday because I can't party as hard as I want to.

Ravnos (January 19, 2012)

Fuck work, just give 'er.

angryderek (January 18, 2012)

i like Andy!!

Half_Idiot (January 18, 2012)

"Don't Call Me Andy." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG5NUH41XCM

Kevgren (January 18, 2012)

Excellent note taking, Flynnie.

Skibz777 (January 18, 2012)

Psyched! I haven't followed the man's career for ten years so it's perfect that his tour picks up right from there. I'm going to go and re-live the HELL out of 9th grade. I'll have to bring my trenchcoat and dog-eared copy of 'The Divine Comedy'.

Mystereohasmono (January 18, 2012)

You dropped something.

Skibz777 (January 18, 2012)

Okay, fine, it wasn't 'The Divine Comedy', it was 'Goosebumps'. Come on, man, don't damage my goth cred. >:(

Mystereohasmono (January 18, 2012)

I was talking about your trenchcoat. I could see your penis. It was......interesting.

Skibz777 (January 18, 2012)

My junk wouldn't even drop past my sack, let alone a knee-length trenchcoat. But thank you for the...compliment?

Everybody used to pick on me in 9th grade until I started wearing a black trenchcoat, then they all left me alone. It was neat. Then I took it off in 10th grade and everyone went back to throwing pennies at my head and cutting me with pocketknives.

Mystereohasmono (January 18, 2012)

High school kids can be so cruel, but you know what, that was a long long time ago. Let's hope that grown adults are whipping pennies at you now.

Skibz777 (January 18, 2012)

Living well is the best revenge, and I'm living well enough to where now I can just pay people to insert said pennies into any one of my orifices. Those kids in science class would be so jealous if they weren't busy being doctors or lawyers or something.

Mystereohasmono (January 18, 2012)

Or handling your ass-pennies.

Skibz777 (January 18, 2012)

Eww. I was mostly referring to, like, my nose or something. I'll make sure to clarify next time... :|

warbrain (January 18, 2012)

why not mainland Europe? Why? This is so racist!

Skibz777 (January 18, 2012)

Have you BEEN to mainland Europe? Those people don't know how to party (except the Portuguese).

warbrain (January 19, 2012)

well, at least they have a proper health care system in case they party too hard one day, related to the OWTH-story above.

Mystereohasmono (January 18, 2012)

Looks like I'm gonna have a fun night.

niveK82 (January 18, 2012)

Fun night!

Half_Idiot (January 18, 2012)

Fun night.

el_matt (January 18, 2012)

10 years since "I Get Wet"? I'm not the only one feeling really old right now, right?

johnnyz77 (January 18, 2012)

nah been feeling older already. turning 35 this april.

when i hear that Siamese Dream is going to be 20 years old next year, then i feel old. same with Liz Phair, Exile in Guyville, 20 years next year. Exile still holds up great too. Siamese Dream has it's moments. don't listen to it as much as i use to.

skolarx (January 18, 2012)

I'll be 35 in May

wentz_equals_death (January 18, 2012)

"i get wet," seminal. ha i get it

johnnyz77 (January 18, 2012)

which andrew W.K. is going to be there, the present one or the 10 years ago one? or will both of them be peforming doing costume changes?

dX927 (January 18, 2012)

saw him for the first time at Ozzfest in 2002 in West Palm Beach. they had a mini Obituary reunion set in the middle of AWK's set

eatdogs (January 18, 2012)

that's awesome. wasn't glassjaw there that year too??? and the used as well??? i've always wondered how it went for them on that tour...

dX927 (January 18, 2012)

both did parts of Ozzfest but weren't at my show. I saw The Used on Warped a few weeks later. the band split time between both tours. kinda crazy how they would be allowed to do part of two competing tours. I had heard The Used didn't enjoy Ozzfest as much as Warped.

notfeelingcreative (January 18, 2012)

Had I known that I would've gone that year. The obituary part that is.

dX927 (January 18, 2012)

it only happened on that one day. Donald Tardy was drumming for AWK at the time and the band is from the area so John showed up to do vocals. Andrew played rhythm guitar. I think it was 3-4 songs but my memory is a bit hazy.

dX927 (January 18, 2012)

of course now looking at your profile I see you're from Florida so the comment makes more sense haha

mill83 (January 18, 2012)

March 20th, I will be partying hard.

PMAtill_ImDOA (January 18, 2012)

I hope he plays wit ha full band, and not his bullshit 'playback' accompaniment he had last I saw him.
I like the guy, but that was total ass.

14theroad (January 18, 2012)

Will be there. Stoked as hell.

heretic (January 18, 2012)

See you guys March 26th!

SydBarrett420 (January 19, 2012)

Seminal album????

GTFO, this guy is a jackoff and for some reason the org gets a collective hard on from him.

mattpants (January 19, 2012)

Agreed. He played one of the worst sets of any band I've ever seen. It was complete masturbation, and everyone around me was having a blast. Andrew W.K. is the worst.

flamebaitnickloving (January 19, 2012)

So jacked and if you haven't seen this live show and talking shit then you're an idiot.

ozmanx (January 19, 2012)

This dude is still around?

Skibz777 (January 19, 2012)

I don't know what there is to be confused about, the article very clearly states he's touring.

CTMH (February 27, 2012)

Just picked up my tix for the Seattle show. Haven't really listened to and W.K in a while but when I was in high school, I Get Wet was our "let's fuck shit up" record for the night. I am very, very excited for this.
