ExtraCheesePizza (January 15, 2013)

Damn, I haven't seen Against Me since even before Weinberg joined. I wish this wasn't $35 here.

hayman (January 15, 2013)

Mate, that's a pretty awesome lineup. A show like that here would probably cost $70. Go for it!

lookingforcorpses (January 15, 2013)

That's not a lot of money for a big show

hunterf (January 15, 2013)

What's up with everybody skipping arizona lately?

ExtraCheesePizza (January 15, 2013)

The boycott? Or is that old news?

nickvicious (January 15, 2013)

It's old news. Morello and his minions called off sound strike. Stupid idea and didn't accomplish anything but make a lot of pissed off fans pirating Anti-Flag and RATM records.

loki13 (January 15, 2013)

There is a date on the 20th in AZ the venue is TBD...should be the Marquee, but hope it's The Crescent Ballroom

nickvicious (January 15, 2013)

I'm thinking it might be a festival date at Tempe Beach park. It's on 4/20. If it is Marquee, tho you better buy those tix early. They'll fill it easy.

loki13 (January 15, 2013)

You think BR sells out the Marquee? When the Bouncing Souls opened for them a couple years ago it didn't seem full...could be wrong though. Is Against Me! a bigger draw than the Souls???

davebrave4 (January 15, 2013)

I would think so. Against Me! has young fans; the Bouncing Souls have old fans. Old fans tend not to go to shows. Also, Against Me's latest album was on a major label.

lookingforcorpses (January 15, 2013)

And was a major flop. the major thing has nothing to do with it. That said, Against Me are bigger than the Souls.

nickvicious (January 15, 2013)

Definitely. AM! plays Marquee. Souls play Clubhouse, Nile...I didn't see that show, but the last two times BR was here it was a festival date.

loki13 (January 15, 2013)

The last headlining AM! show was at the Nile...as well as the last headlining Souls show. The Nile kinda sucks shit.

nickvicious (January 16, 2013)

It's the lack of booze that gets me.

dlawlrence (January 16, 2013)

The Bad Religion site has it at Quail Run Park in Mesa. Same as the Warped venue this year.

charliedecker (January 15, 2013)

that photo looks like a promo for "STORAGE WARS: Bad Religion"

eazyd2 (January 15, 2013)

haha

wahhey (January 15, 2013)

Yeeeaap!!!

schaumpton (January 15, 2013)

Maybe Congress Theater will collapse before the show is scheduled. It's only a matter of time anyway

drugstorehooligan (January 16, 2013)

You're not kidding. I'm actually kind of bummed they're having the show there. I'd love to see Bad Religion at the Metro.

schaumpton (January 16, 2013)

I know people bitch about House of Blues, but would you rather see a show there or a decaying, soundless hole of a room? I'm sure this would have been @ House of Blues based on the other sites booking and the fact they played there before with The Gallows.

Metro is way too small for Bad Religion. They would have to book 2 nights there.

punkvoter (January 17, 2013)

The Congress is a dump, but if the show is crowded I prefer it to other venues. I've been to shows at the Metro & House of Blues where there's too many people and I wasn't able to see the band, never had that problem at the Congress.

wakeentry (January 15, 2013)

Why use xvideos.com when I can just come here? This makes me hard.

StraightEdgeHardCore (January 15, 2013)

Skibz gets you hard!?!

wakeentry (January 16, 2013)

Just a little bit. But he doesn't reply enough to me to make me consider a serious relationship.

StraightEdgeHardCore (January 16, 2013)

Aww, I'm so sorry for you. Maybe Misanthropee could fill the void in your heart?

Johnnyz77 (January 15, 2013)

wow only $33.55 for the Philly show. that is a good deal for 2 great bands.

hayman (January 15, 2013)

3 great bands.

eran_zombis (January 15, 2013)

A band people liked in 2009
A band people liked in 2004
A band people liked in 1984

= ?

hayman (January 15, 2013)

I've got no idea what you're on about.
1984 = ?

eran_zombis (January 15, 2013)

A convenient yet hyperbolic marker for way back when Bad Religion was "good," also the year when Into the Unknown was released (ish?).

bastard_squad (January 15, 2013)

Come on, 84 is a s-t-r-e-t-c-h.
They didn't hit stride until Suffer.

eran_zombis (January 18, 2013)

94 would have been more accurate, but 84 makes the implied joke about how long they've been around. Thus my choice. That is all.

hayman (January 15, 2013)

I'd say they got going about '88.
I'd also say every one of BR's 13-14 albums that followed Into the Unknown were better than it.

Are you drunk?

eran_zombis (January 18, 2013)

Nope, just exaggerating.

eran_zombis (January 18, 2013)

Also, even mentioning Into the Unknown is tongue in cheek.

mikexdude (January 15, 2013)

Three bands I still love in 2013.

loki13 (January 16, 2013)

Eventhough your "facts" are wrong...why would it matter to you? You would not go to a show because of that???

MUTTxDTF (January 19, 2013)

I've loved Bad Religion for over 20 years and I have no idea why I've never seen em live!!! I just miss em every time they come around Philly. I gotta make it this time..

threetimesalady (January 15, 2013)

I will pay a lot of money to see this if I must.

chadreligion (January 15, 2013)

No love for SF?

nickvicious (January 15, 2013)

CA fans (esp SF) have no right to complain! You're all spoiled.

davebrave4 (January 15, 2013)

hahaha, so true.

party-animal (January 15, 2013)

How likely are you to purchase a Big Mac from McDonald's in the next 30 days?

hayman (January 15, 2013)

0% chance. McDonald's is terrible.

korbendallas89 (January 15, 2013)

Bad Religion doesn't care about Edmonton people.

jeffreyonfire (January 15, 2013)

I got so excited seeing Canada in the title. I though "oh, Bad Religion. They are usually pretty good to us in the city of Champions. They won't skip us." I guess I was wrong.

jimmyv (January 15, 2013)

They were at Sonic Boom a few years ago if that counts. But, yeah, I also had a similar excitement/disappointment reaction to this.

the_other_scott (January 15, 2013)

hoping that a second nyc show is added 3/25 that isn't at Terminal 5.

dancooksfood (January 15, 2013)

I'm going to Portland this is turning out to be a great year for shows .thank jebus since last year there wasnt, any

eran_zombis (January 15, 2013)

I thought I could waltz up to the Roseland an hour before the show when they played with the Souls, but it was sold out. Get yer tix in advance.

dancooksfood (January 15, 2013)

I always do .that show was great they played for two and a half hours .

palzer_boo (January 15, 2013)

Might go to the show in Hollywood. Haven't seen BR in 12 years or so...

timahelm (January 15, 2013)

this is sooooooooooooo awesome! I'm crazy excited for those shows!

TheReadMenace (January 15, 2013)

Why the fuck are they playing that shithole SOMA? The place is a dump and their roided-out security doesn't let anyone dance

lookingforcorpses (January 15, 2013)

Where should they play then?

TheReadMenace (January 16, 2013)

RIMAC. Which is where they played last time with Rise Against and it was a great show.

lookingforcorpses (January 16, 2013)

Yeah, OPENING for Rise Against. You think they could fill that place on their own???

rafiislost (January 18, 2013)

I'm sure they can. Against Me! are also playing so I can forsure see them playing there. Maybe not sell it out, but they can probably fit 4,000 people out of 5,000 there. Plus, they're played on 91X everyday.

kelly_d (January 15, 2013)

Going to Montreal with family for easter. Get to see this Saturday and the Revival Tour Sunday! Stoked.

FredDorfman76 (January 15, 2013)

So glad Rise Against is not on this bill. I'm sick of seeing that band playing with bands I like.

timahelm (January 15, 2013)

Can't say that I dislike Rise Against, but I kinda agree on that.
Rancid, Against Me!, Alkaline Trio, Thrice, Gaslight Anthem, Anti-Flag, Moneen, Billy Talent (twice) - bands I've seen opening for them.

hayman (January 15, 2013)

Oh geez, going to see awesome bands is shit.
1-2-3-4

zach_post (January 15, 2013)

At the welmont theater? Interesting. Pretty excited about this tour

cheesetits (January 15, 2013)

Fuck my butt, of course I will be out of the state when this happens.

thermonuclearwarrior (January 15, 2013)

Exactly who do bands like Bad Religion and Dropkick Murphys think they are? Pink Floyd? Led Zeppelin? Not that I've given two shits about these guys for twenty years or so, but Bad Religion playing a venue in DC and charging 30$ and Dropkicks playing the same venue and charging $35? What the fuck? To hell with the dinosaurs of dictionary punk and the ridiculously overrated Dropkick Murphys and their arena rock ticket prices. I bet they charge an arm and a leg for any merch they sell, as well. It's a nice cash grab, boys. It's just not very punk rock any more.

bastard_squad (January 15, 2013)

Not trying to rain on your tirade, but I don't think either band really gives a shit what is and isn't punk.

eran_zombis (January 15, 2013)

Nor does 930 Club.

davebrave4 (January 16, 2013)

Rain on your tirade....Nice.

bastard_squad (January 16, 2013)

I figured it went unnoticed.

hayman (January 15, 2013)

Bad religion for $30 is a steal any day of the week.
I wouldn't pay to see Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. Bunch of hippies.

FelixT (January 15, 2013)

I am sure the club owner has his say in the ticket price. Also, there are a lot of members in DM, so maybe it's why it costs a little more? Have you seen Ken Casey's thighs? The guy eats a lot. But I am just assuming, I don't know anything about anything.

sinngh (January 16, 2013)

30$ is perfectly reasonable, so stop complaining. Also, BR merch prices have been the most reasonable and consistent I've ever seen - in the past 10 years, I've never seen them charge more than 15€ for a shirt. Compare that with cash-grabbers like Rise Against, who want you to pay 25€ for a simple t-shirt.

tofuatomic (January 16, 2013)

Come now, if zep was playing a show, it would be quite a bit more than thirty bucks.

wahhey (January 16, 2013)

30 dollars to see this show is nothing. stop whining.

drugstorehooligan (January 16, 2013)

I would agree with you if it was 1993. I would agree with you if Bad Religion stopped recording in 1993. Neither of these things are true. You can just ignore it and not go to the show.

keithus (January 17, 2013)

Floyd and Zeppelin would charge like $100

ozmanx (January 15, 2013)

Who wants to take me to the Hollywood show? I'll let you hold my hand if it changes anything.

Michael_Jackson_Jordan (January 15, 2013)

Surprised no one has mention this yet, but they have dates in or around Southern California or its neighboring states during both weekends of Coachella.

lookingforcorpses (January 15, 2013)

They wouldn't be announcing a Hollywood show if they were doing Coachella.

Michael_Jackson_Jordan (January 15, 2013)

That used to be the case when Coachella was only one weekend, but the festivals promoters have eased up on that rule.

lookingforcorpses (January 16, 2013)

Not that I've seen. All the area shows are usually announced WAY closer to Coachella.... like days before.

lookingforcorpses (January 16, 2013)

And the fact that they're now trying to sell out TWO weekends would propel them to be even stricter, one would think.

Michael_Jackson_Jordan (January 15, 2013)

Plus, let's be honest: The Coachella crowd that would see Bad Religion would be nothing like the crowd who'd go out to see them by themselves.

anarchypants (January 15, 2013)

I'll see everybody at the Toronto show! This is such a great lineup.

burntorangepeel (January 15, 2013)

Finally! I never thought Bad Religion would play Nashville.

FelixT (January 15, 2013)

That's one short trip in Canada. Fortunately, I live in Poutine Ville.

IllaZilla (January 15, 2013)

Damn, it kicks off where I live, but that's the weekend I'm going to a wedding in Seattle. I'd love to see AM and BR in the same show.

peppermintpattyisalesbian (January 15, 2013)

Bad Religion = My favorite band ever.

My dream tour lineup: Bad Religion/Face to Face/Against Me!/Bouncing Souls. I would get super excited if this ever happened, if you know what I mean.

imsoawesome (January 15, 2013)

That lineup would be tits, even though I'm not a huge Bad Religion fan. I think my dream lineup would be Propagandhi/Dillinger Four/Against Me!/Nomeansno.

I don't think it'll happen anytime soon though.
