It was worth it to go to this. I know I already posted it, but I am going to again. I shot the Seattle stop of this tour.

You should go look at it.

kelly_D (July 30, 2012)

I saw this tour the other week. I was impressed by everyone and was really excited to see Such Gold play. Handguns impressed me too as I thought their record was not the best thing I ever heard.

Your pictures are really nice, but that font at the begging of the blog is kind of an eye soar. Constructive criticism, keep up the good work.

malcontentdroog (July 30, 2012)

Are you referring to the font in the blog post or the title for the overall blog?

And thanks for the nice words.

kelly_d (July 30, 2012)

Font on the blog post. Something about grey on grey doesn't appeal to me, but, you know, that might just be personal preference.

malcontentdroog (July 31, 2012)

I changed the actual typeface and made the font straight white. Check it out and let me know what you think. Any criticism that is justified is worth hearing.

kelly_D (July 31, 2012)

I think that looks better, but once again its personal preference. I think you are a pretty strong writer too, so you have that going for you. The only other suggestion I could justify would be to change the colour of the hyperlinks to something less flamboyant. Also, would it be possible to arrange the photos into rows? I think it might be more user friendly if you could arrange the photos into row. What I mean is, right now you have one column with a ton of photos and it makes the page real long. I hope that makes sense....

Keep up to the good work

malcontentdroog (July 31, 2012)

That definitely makes since. I should look into the rows thing. Once I can figure out a good photo hosting professional website, I am going to do that, which lends itself to the whole row idea. Thanks again for the kind words.

mattramone (July 30, 2012)

The one person who enters this is going to win.

Jeevz (July 30, 2012)

It was a good show but I think I've just about had enough of Strung Out wrecking their classics with shitty breakdowns. I'll pass on the next tour.

Tudor (July 30, 2012)

I just seen them play and they didn't do anything like that. Just sounds like the stick up your ass, has a stick up its ass.

eazyd2 (July 30, 2012)

what are you talking about dickhead?

Levendus (July 31, 2012)

haha they did go a bit breakdown crazy a couple of years back but I think they pretty much stick to the script these days !

Jeevz (July 31, 2012)

What are you talking about, dickhead? Listen to Bring Out You're Dead and Matchbook on the live album then you'll know what I'm fucking talking about. Suck my dick, asshole!

Tudor (July 30, 2012)

I already saw this, what a rip off...

Skibz777 (July 30, 2012)

Has anyone here ever actually won one of these contests? In the possible 10 years I've been coming here, I've never known any poster to either win one or at least announce that they won one. Something smells fishy around here...if I were to bottle said scent, I'd probably call it "Eau de embezzlement", if you know what I mean.

Tudor (July 30, 2012)

I think something similar has been posted multiple times, and people have indeed came forward and said they won certain contests. I've entered tons of contests over the last 11or so years and never won anything.

eazyd2 (July 30, 2012)

every time a fucking contest is posted some retard has to ask this question and everytime at least 3 or 4 people come forward saying that they have.

im going to slit your fucking throat skibz777

eazyd2 (July 30, 2012)

.... just to reiterate what tudor said

Skibz777 (July 30, 2012)

I'm still bitter about not winning the full set of Fearless' 'Punk Goes...' comps. I refuse to believe that more than one person sent in for those.

These contests are brought to you by the letter "E"...for "embezzlement". ಠ_ಠ

blackmetal666 (July 30, 2012)

I won Behemoth tickets a few years back. Winning exists.

Skibz777 (July 30, 2012)

Sure you did, blackmetal666...or should I say, PunknewsPlant666? >:[

blackmetal666 (July 30, 2012)

Ya got me. Totally a clandestine punknews operation.

Tudor (July 30, 2012)

Well it's pretty convenient that someone with the name "blackmetal666" would win tickets to a Behemoth show...a little too convenient.

Skibz777 (July 30, 2012)

I pulled a screen capture on that post so I can use it as leverage next time Brittany Strummer mouths off to me. >:[

j-star (July 30, 2012)

I saw them yesterday in Montreal. I'm not a huge Strung Out fan, but since I've never seen them live, I thought it was worth the 30$.

Honestly, one of the best punk-rock show I've ever seen. They were filming the entire show for a live DVD, people were going ape shit. There were more than a hundred stage dives, 8 year old kids body surfing, great performance by the band. Loved it.

nouseforamonkey (July 30, 2012)

Contest doesn't end until after the show date I'd be able to go to. Bummer.

Saw them last year or whenever it was they toured with WATU and Rufio and they were amazing. I might drive up to the Philly show if there are still tickets.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (July 30, 2012)

They toured with Rufio again?! They did that 10 years ago too... It was Strung Out, Rise Against, Posion The Well and Rufio. I still remember it because of how odd/interesting the lineup was.

nouseforamonkey (July 30, 2012)

Yeah, it was We are the Union, Mute, Rufio and Strung Out. I'm not above admitting that I thought Rufio was still awesome. I could probably still listen to Perhaps, I Suppose... and sing/slurr all the words. 18 year old me was stoked.

I kinda wanna see Strung Out, especially for the guaranteed STWB and TBD setlist, but I'm pretty sure I've seen them play all of the songs on those albums over the years anyway. 3 hours is a long drive and I don't know that I could convince anyone to come with me.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (July 31, 2012)

You should probably go. 3 hours to see not one but TWO records you really like is _totally_ worth it. Hell, i've flown across half the world to see one-off reunion/record shows and I've never been dissapointed.

It's actually pretty special to see a record getting played in order if it's an absolute favorite of yours. If you're not a huge fan of it, it comes off as stale,, but if you're a fan you'll be ridiculously excited.

I'm not a fan of Deftones, but I saw them a few years back ('05?!) and they played their first record in its entirety _as an encore_. Imagine if one of your favorite bands would do that without announcing it. Holy shit.

nouseforamonkey (July 31, 2012)

Yeah, when Less Than Jake played Hello Rockview in it's entirety at DTFH fest last year it was magical.

Yeah, I might have to check for tickets.

hashbrowns (July 31, 2012)

went to that in hollywood. it was an awesome show. crazy to think Rise Against was third support.

nouseforamonkey (July 31, 2012)

Hell, I saw Rise Against play first with F-Minus, Death By Stereo and AFI in 2001. Strange to see how the world has turned.

malcontentdroog (July 31, 2012)

That would have been something to see, at least back then in regards to AFI and Rise Against

givemeamuseumandillfillit (July 31, 2012)

Similar to that...what was it called, was it Snocore?! That tour that Hot Water Music headlined with Thrice and Coheed & Cambria as support.

That bill would've been reversed 5 years later.
