Published on December 6th 2002
Ahh, Friday night after two weeks of working at my new job, how to celebrate? I already celebrated getting my job with Dillinger 4 and Boris the Sprinkler two weeks ago, and now to celebrate that I’ll have a check coming in a couple of weeks, I can think of no band better to do that to than the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. It was at the Vic Theater which was a cool venue for a show because instead of having the stage higher than everything, it was lower and there was a series of levels, probably held seats at one time, so even standing in the back a short person, like my girlfriend (whose first reaction to walking in the place was “I can see the stage for once”), could see the stage perfectly.

u guys all suck ass!! Simple Plan rocks wtf are u talkin about?? They have awesome music that can relate to so many people! they are all really nice guys! they doo soo much for there fans! theyre really kool guys to hang out with! and just all around there koolest guys ever!! u guys cant judge them if u dont know them they rock soo shut the hell up!! - MMB completely and totaly rocks, fuck the nay-sayers. Seen them 2x, amazing each time. simple plan is for cunts and people that have no brain Simple plan is for simple people. Simple plan is music made for stupid, mindless drones. Dude, I was just channel surfing and saw some band with died spiky hair on mtv singing about how they'd "Do Anything" and was almost embarassed for the young men playing as to how utterly disgusting the music they made was. Sure enough, at the end the little credits read Simple Plan....if you like them then whatever, but if anyone EVER tries to say that band is ANYTHING more than backstreet boys TRYING to play guitars then I know this site is FULL OF SHIT. I'd rather listen to some corny mtv rap than that shit. THey call that music, what the fuck?! I heard some stuff from these guys and thought it sucked, but i never really sat down and watched it....it is so fucking terrible. It's like a suger coating that coats nothing, its sickening. It's the kind of music for people who live by the lines "Ignorance is bliss" and "Never think too much"....fuck, just saw it now and was really disgusted, just htought I'd share. "If anyone cares, I'm the black kid in the suit and tie...does someone have a problem with me?" wow, you know the show's weak when the only band that's not washed up on the bill is simple plan. i would rather put my head down and run into a wall, than listen to simple plan those stupid candians! how could reset become simple plan?...absolute proof that evil is at work in the punk scene... - bigjerk Yeah...Bosstones were cool..they were no Dashboard, but they did the job... again? anyways, i listend to it, and it makes blink 182 look good as someone already posted in another review. no, it makes creed look good. ouch! Hey sorry to waste your time, but it would mean sooo much if you guys checked out my band, the norads! Go to http://www.mp3.com/the_norads and give our song a listen, it's the #1 pop punk song in all of Colorado! Also, if you care, we have a website at http://thenoradssuck.cjb.net We're still just starting out, so any suggestions or comments would be more than appreciated. just e-mail us at thenoradssuck@yahoo.com and tell us how pitiful our song sounds! Thanks! I just dont like the music MMB play, I'm not into it. I'm not saying it's "bad", I just don't like it. As for Simple Plan....That IS bad. Terrible music. Poppy, candy, uncreative garbage. Bigwig is okay on record, not sure live...nothing special. well since the bosstones have been around since 83', i believe they have had more than enough time to perfect themselves, so their music is great and seeing then 5 times proves,atleast to me, they put one of the best shows ive seen. not to mention that i have on every occasion hung out wiht dicky and the guys and they r a good group of guys, really nice. bigwig played my town 2wice and since we r so small that we dont pull in more than 50-100 people a show i doubt they r in it for the cash. i never heard of simple plan, and if they do play pop emo shit, then im gonna keep it that way. peace WUSSEMOROCK makes love to little boys.. YOU PUSSY how about you ask for a good taste in music Big question, what should I ask for, for Christmas. XBOX or PS2????? bigwig was good UNTIL i saw them live. Man they said some pretty shitty things that just made me think to myself, man this band blows. Their stage presense sucked also. And they are dumb. Bigwig should have not played before simple plan. ok... so i just saw this show on thursday in columbus... it was awesome! for some reason simple plan didn't play, and i didn't miss them at all... slick shoes, bigiwg and the bosstones were all incredible. i think that this is one of the better shows i've been too, i really like bigwig and slick shoes and the bosstones are incredible. good review... my score goes for both the review and for the show... Wuss, difference in opinion aside... Simple Plan is just horrid. yea, I like Sum41... and im not going to say they are good, but simple plan are just completely and incredibly horrible all around.-BostonMusicGuy "yes they are. they suck. can't play their horns either." to the guy below me: I was just thinking the other day, "What if hell is one big long concert?" Most of you would say that would be cool. But of course it's hell so it would be a bunch of really, really, really, shitty bands. Isn't listening to shitty bands better than having Satan shove dry ice filled 2 liters up your ass? Not if the bands are mighty mighty bosstones, simple plan and big wig. Then that would be hell. Oh dear god I'm shaking now. I can't even imagine the horror that concert would bring. I have to go cry in a corner now. twat Ok, I won't believe him anymore. wussemorock is laughing right now. why? because he thinks that we all actually believe he has that horrible a taste in music. nobody, i mean nobody, has that bad a taste in music. and we're all falling for the trap. don't believe this guy anymore. How come every time wuss emo makes a post I want to slap him? I'm not a violent person, so I find this weird.. but I really REALLY want to lay the beat-down on his ass and make him cry like a baby Bigwig Kicked ass and MMB still give their fans a great show...Simple Plan can do all of the spins and coordinated jumps they want(does anyone see a sum41 comparison?)but that doesn't make them a good band or even a punk band I guess it's too late to write a review for this show now. yea, wuss is the end all of punk opinion. actually his opinion isnt even an opinion its fact. he is the smartest guy there ever was when it came to the world of punk. and thats the final word.-BostonMusicGuyOh and by the way the Bosstones are amazing, Simple Plan is horrible and Big Wig is ok... and thats the final word. Let me clear all of this up for everyone. "Bigwig should have headlined this show. Those other two bands a shame to the word "music" " Ok, I've seen Bigwig twice, in Vancouver, Bc. At neither show were there more than 100 people. They were 1000 fucking miles (or more, I'm not really sure) from home, playing for canadian money, which is worthless to them, and managed to put on ridiculously good shows both times. There is no fucking way they were playing for the money, they were playing for the kids who were going nuts for them. So, what the fuck are you talking about Mr. knowitall who says they only play for money? Eat a bowl of fuck. What the hell is this Bigwig backlash ? Bosstones rock, I'm pissed their Hartford show got cancelled. You idiot (the guy who said the Bosstones suck). Integrity talent. A class act my friend. Go listen to your Good Charlotte cds. I saw bigwig play to about 40 people a year ago and I don't think 40 x 5 = A LOT OF MONEY. I get sick of childish rumors about how band did this or whatever. Hope none of you suckers beleived this. 2 posts below me was right, I think it's obvious I meant Simple Plan was the shitty band. simple plan sucks,. MMB sucks. Bigwig I have never seen live, but their records are OK, but you say that they suuck live....so it sounds like i would have hated this whole show. You fucking morons, he/she was saying The Mighty Mighty Bosstones should be ashamed to bring such a shitty band such as Simple Plan on tour with them, not the other way around. You must be about 16 to say that the bosstones are a shame to a simple plan. The bosstones were putting out great albums when you were 8 years old. Get a grip kid. yes they are. they suck. can't play their horns either. bosstones are a shame to the word music? are you kidding me? simple plan yeah, but not the bosstones. I've said it before, and i'll say it again now - bigwig will only play if they get paid - ALOT. Oh, but wait - DON'T SELLOUT... Big Wig just stood there when I saw them. They just stood and sang, no motivation to move around or anything, then they tell the crowd to get into the show when they aren't. They sucked hard. At least move around and show some energy. They got zero response when they walked off, in fact, I heard a few boo's. Dissing the town you're in doesn't help much either. Bigwig should have headlined this show. Those other two bands a shame to the word "music". Bigwig isn't my favorite, but atleast they play some good stuff. I'm not much of a BigWig fan, but they put on an intense show. It's insulting that simple plan plays with those other bands. They're a fucking sham. Bigwig sucked ass?? you betta check yo'self fool..i saw them in denver and they fuckin rocked. I can't believe they had to play before Simple Plan, that's just ridiculous..in Denver, Bigwig went on before Bosstones, yea and there were lots of little kids running around all wearing simple plan shirts they just bought with their allowance. it was like a fuckin day-care whats with all the bigwig hate i'm detecting? Good use of a Dead Milkmen quote. This score is for that. The Bosstones should be ashamed to tour with Simple Plan. I saw Big Wig open up for Less Than Jake back in August, they sucked ass. Nobody cared for them, they practically got boo'ed off stage. |
