Ridiculous, yet somehow charming.

Tudor (October 12, 2012)

Kris Roe is more punk than you.

nickvicious (October 12, 2012)

Not as punk as Avril m/

MrCBGB (October 12, 2012)

This is turning into a real bitch fight.

nickvicious (October 12, 2012)

Clever video. So the burning question is did Rob quit or did the rest of the band boot him out?

MN_DrNick (October 12, 2012)

It's 2012 and both the Ataris (use the name loosely since it's just Kris Roe and the Allstars) and Patent Pending are still somehow bands. How is this possible?

telegraphrocks (October 12, 2012)

If they were "all-stars", wouldn't they have to be of some fame?
It's more like Kris Roe And The Randoms.

...same thing with MxPx.

eazyd2 (October 12, 2012)

um kris roe IS the ataris. don't be a fuckin retard

kidecono (andrew) (October 12, 2012)

Please don't say 'retard'. It's ablist as all fuck.

sognar (October 12, 2012)

That isn't a word.

MN_DrNick (October 12, 2012)

You realize you're talking the Org's biggest junior high school troll, right?

gugl0003 (October 14, 2012)

Please don't say "abelist". It's retarded as all fuck.

clcsqueejy04 (October 17, 2012)

Bahaha!

eazyd2 (October 12, 2012)

and mxpx had kris roe and some douche from good charlotte or somethin so the all stars term was somewhat justified

MrCBGB (October 12, 2012)

Nothing related to Good Charlotte is "All-Stars justified", not a single thing. Nada.

MN_DrNick (October 12, 2012)

That's how I feel with Megadeth. It's just Dave Mustaine and friends. Same with Ben Weasel now.

snowcobra (October 15, 2012)

goddamn man fuck megadeth these days. shit is pathetic

sanceleste (October 15, 2012)

Gwar, Kiss and Lordi have got it right, can't tell who's who.

franchise (October 12, 2012)

Well Patent Pending blows way harder than the Ataris, so why isn't anyone asking the important questions like: who the fuck cares? OR why would one shitty band hire a guitar player from an even shittier band to play drums? Huh?

MN_DrNick (October 12, 2012)

That's what I thought.

missaphids (October 12, 2012)

The radio still sucks.

missaphids (October 12, 2012)

... and after struggling for 10 minutes to remember my damned password, I end up posting on the wrong comment.

fattony (October 12, 2012)

"Little to no drums will be thrown."

So you're telling me there's a chance!

kidecono (andrew) (October 12, 2012)

Bravo!

anarchypants (October 14, 2012)

Just when I your comments can't get any dumber you go and do something like this... AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!

9mind8 (October 19, 2012)

bravo

NFGPunx (October 12, 2012)

So whats errbody doin this weekned besides punk rawking, lol?!!!?

tarpiswoods (October 12, 2012)

nm u?... wait a/s/l?

cameronfits (October 12, 2012)

10/10

WakeEntry (October 12, 2012)

He did kinda hit the nail on the head with those reenactments.

statlerpat (October 13, 2012)

He deserves to be nailed in the head for this video.

I am a huge Ataris fan, and when I saw what happened at Asbury Park I just had to shake my head and wonder why. When I saw The Ataris response video I felt like it was good for Kris to offer an explanation. When I saw THIS today, I could understand being fed up with this guy. He's a fucking douche. Yeah, Kris made a mistake, but being a complete fucking toolbag doesn't make you seem like the victim at all.

P.S. Patent Pending is shit.

nicknocturnal (October 13, 2012)

Yeah, here's his Twitter description: "I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt". I think if I hung out more than 5 minutes with someone who thought that was funny I'd be throwing stuff at him too.

imadeanaccountjustforthis (October 13, 2012)

Dude, it's a Simpson's quote.

pwnther (October 13, 2012)

I thought that was fucking funny. Don't watch much Simpsons?

nicknocturnal (October 13, 2012)

Ha, not since I was a kid. Hey, I'm old school though, I remember watching them on the Tracy Ullman Show with my big sister when I was a kid. Anyways, nah, didn't think it was funny quote, sounds pretty stupid to me.

FelixT (October 13, 2012)

Obviously it's not funny with no context.

porksoda (October 12, 2012)

Wow, you couldn't have released a more childish response.

lngsht (October 12, 2012)

After watching this video im cool if Kris throws the rest of the backline to this dumbass.

timahelm (October 12, 2012)

10/10

holy_balls (October 12, 2012)

good charlotte was wrong...pop-punk is dead.

lngsht (October 12, 2012)

So... doesnt punknews have anything to say about those 4 articles razorcake wrote calling them pretty much the worst sellouts in punk rock since warped tour?

dancinshoes (October 12, 2012)

Just read that.. damn! :/

LatchKeyKid (October 12, 2012)

Ya I read that as well and I don't think I wanna come here anymore since obviously if any of those articles weren't true someone would be saying that. Smell you later Mr. Paul.

dX927 (October 14, 2012)

the fuck is a Sass Dragon?

gugl0003 (October 14, 2012)

Sounds like a bunch of whining by trust fund kids who don't realize how the economy works to me.

captainmicrowave (October 14, 2012)

Which issue?

laserguidedbygod (October 12, 2012)

I actually feel like this justifies Roe's actions. If only for the fact that Patent Pending seem like the worst fucking dudes on the planet.

timahelm (October 12, 2012)

yep! After watching this crap I totally support every drum throwing performed by Roe!

Babrook (October 13, 2012)

They play a shitty brand of music but my experiences with them have been positive.

swank (October 12, 2012)

I wanted to throw drums at his head about a minute or so into this aggressively unfunny video.

timahelm (October 12, 2012)

THIS IS SO LAAAAAME! This guy is super lame! This video is incredibly lame!

nicknocturnal (October 13, 2012)

Yeah, I thought I'd check out some Patent Pending on Youtube after all this to see what those dudes were all about. Holy shit, worst crap ever. They make Matt Toka look like Joe Strummer. Awful.

chri5topher (October 13, 2012)

Wow...this guy is a dork....What a lame video. I would have tossed drums at him too.

nick_k (October 13, 2012)

Ok, that was pretty stupid, but I have to say, that quote at the end was kind of funny sort of, maybe, i think

danwazz (October 13, 2012)

I'm excited because I don't give a shit. Also, I had no idea the Ataris were somehow relevant. "The more you know."

clcsqueejy04 (October 17, 2012)

Hey now, the Ataris are still VERY relevant. For instance, I'm wearing an Ataris shirt today. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to put off doing my laundry an extra day.

AXL09 (October 13, 2012)

You know if he just came out and said what he had to say without trying to be funny, or any of bullshit in the video people may have taken his side and not considered him such a total douche.

cheesecakemafia (October 13, 2012)

I don't think continuing to play as guitars and drums are raining down around you constitutes "cat-like reflexes."

anarchypants (October 14, 2012)

I hope Kris makes a shoddy reenactment of this video.

I'm entertained by this feud.

nedsammy (October 14, 2012)

He seems like a bit of a goon but hey. I didn't get the "how dare you drink on tour" coupled with "throwing drums is rocknroll" bullshit in Kris' video.

Fuck, why do I even care, I've never even heard the fucking Ataris. Just get the police to attend all the gigs of washed up 90s underground figures and we can hear about something else besides their violent outbursts...

Tahoejeff (October 14, 2012)

I don't care about either of these bands, but I love how this dude completely mocks Kris. Hahahaha

jeffrocentric (October 14, 2012)

i went to high school with a different former drummer of the ataris. lots of former members, it seems...

martinNZ09 (October 14, 2012)

Wow, that was embarassing

nickdiesel (October 14, 2012)

this guy has just as much charisma as you'd expect from a pop rock drummer

test (October 15, 2012)

patent pending makes alot of effort on the production of their internet videos in an attempt to seem relevant. i'm somewhat associated with the nj/ny/pa ska and even 8 years ago when ska was somewhat more popular, neither of these bands were being talked about, let alone today.

straightboymike (October 15, 2012)

I've never listened to them and decided to YouTube one of their videos. I didnt know music like this existed. They are trying so hard to be catchy and poppy that it comes off sounding like an overproduced boy band. It's awful. And this is coming from a guy who still likes The Ataris and Listens to Dude Ranch more than any 25 year old should. I like catchy pop punk as much as the next loser but fuck they are annoying.

straightboymike (October 15, 2012)

This guy loves all the attention that this incident has given him. He seems like such an pompous ass. I wish kris had better aim.

sciulli (October 15, 2012)

these guys don't know about white balance.

PrivateRAdio (October 15, 2012)

For everyone calling this video douchey....did you guys SEE the shit Kris Roe put up? Has anyone ever in the history of YouTube ever looked like such a dickbag? "It's rock and roll! Look at the Replacements and Jawbreaker!" and "We made this video instead of writing a response to you like other bullshit bands would do". Give me a fucking break.

DesertBurst92 (October 16, 2012)

After watching this video and the response that the rest of the band posted...I'm really glad I haven't cared about this band ever

solidjim (October 18, 2012)

This video is actually pretty funny. Get over it.
