Wow, on a sunday night, I was finally ready for the big fat wreck tour. I had very high expectations, considering that Rise Against's "The Unraveling" had been in my cd player for about 4 months.
It was a very cold night in Chicago, and my friends and I arrived just in time for it to start. Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
You guys arent open to different styles of music. The Mad Caddies change it up a bit, theres not a ska band that sounds like them. Are there any ska bands that sound like reel big fish? I think so. the mckenzies rock, canada is the worlds asshole THERE I SAID IT NOW SHUT UP ABOOT IT,real mckenzies oot and aboot ,may 20 and DROPKICK MURPHYS,BLACKOUT JUNE 10TH I saw all of these grps live as well. i scrolled down to your review of the caddies performance, cuz i love them. you said some shit like 'stop drinking' and 'big gut' ....you are a sack of fucking shit, where i'm from, drinking and big guts are cool as fuck you pussy ass bitch, fuck you, go listen to rainer maria more you little emo skinny fuck with one of those baby cupie doll haircuts and black hair dye, fuck you fuck you, ska rules getting fucked up rules and you my friend....do not rule. proof that all of you are little asswipe fruits who have nothing better to do than trade inane insults on a message board: see comments below proof canada produces gay men: pretty much the whole cast of KIDS IN THE HALL, BRYAN ADAMS, and that arab lookin kid in SUM 41...top that shit kiddies Proof that america produces shitty music: Count the Stars, American New Found Glory, 90 % of what they play on the radio these days. Proof that Canada produces good music: Stompin' Tom Connors. Proof that America produces shitty bands - Good Charlotte. You lose. Top that one, and no Simple Plan won't do. more proof: sum 41, Alanis Moiresette, propagandhi and hell simple plan can be mentioned twice they suck that bad Proof that Canada produces shitty bands: Simple Plan. Some of you people bitch way too much. And 99% of it is based on your opinion, not facts. Propagandhi, Choke, Kataklysm, One Shot Left, SNFU...Canada has great music. the new rise against album is fucking awesome. i cant wait for the fireside shows next month. no i do not stand corrected.. canada has produced shitty, shitty bands... and yes i even think propagandhi are on the slide as well... i am ashamed i own SNFU Cd's. Their is Latin-American Ska, however, it sounds nothing like the Caddies. I'd say they're more of a Pirate Carnival on fire somewhere in the Bayou. This tour is bad. I missed the McKenzies, but the Mad Caddies are fucking horrible now. Everytime they play they are so wasted and have no energy. This is the 4th time I've seen them, and this time I fucking left half way through their set. Stay for Rise Against, but thats it. Maybe they're playing celtic influenced music because they like the style? Just a thought... Mad Caddies have a "Latin-American ska style"? Since when? I hear dixieland jazz, ska, punk and reggae, but what the fuck does latin-american ska sound like? Thanks for missing my original point completely, but to answer your question, of course he's fucking asian. Are you gonna tell me that Mike Park is not asian now Mikeshitter? OK, apologies, didn't know the lead singer from FM was Irish, but does having one member in a (seven? eight piece? who cares?) band make you Irish? And I always knew the RM were Canadian. Wow, I knew I should've written a review of this show, cause now you guys are stuck with this one. That sucks. Am I the only one that noticed in Greg's rebuttal he said "lunachicks" not "the flipsides." I think the first guy's response is legendary and no other replies shall matter.. Scott, what's with the Real Mckenzies from Scotland nonsense? Give Canada some loving, we need it in the punk world.. what a bunch of shit we have produced, except the mighty JERSEY and ultimate AVRIL (who i am sure greg thinks is cool.) im out. I've heard that None More Black is going to play with Rise Against at the two Chicago shows in April. lol yeah the singer of the mckenzies (at the farmingdale show) goes "we got some nice lassies here tonite" or some shit like that, and then he looks right at some cute little 7th or 8th grader in a plaid skirt that even my 17-year-old mind felt guilty for glancing at. Flogging Molly is from California, but Dave King(lead singer) was born in Ireland and lived there for quite sometime. So he could in fact make Irish babies and kickass Irish music Mad Caddies sucked plain and simple there were even kids in the crowd chanting Reel Big Fish songs. Dave King (lead singer of Flogging Molly) was born and raised in Ireland. I don't know how to get this so that it says "Greg", but I did write this review. Let me say this about Rise Against, I can't hold this back anymore. I think I'm the only person in the world who thinks that Rise Against is not only overrated, but they straight up suck. What are they rising against anyways? Seriously, I don't mean that in a condescending way, but really! Real McKenzies from Canada I caught this show in Guelph Ontario and also thought that Rise Against put on a better show than the Caddies. I never got into them, I like some punk/ska stuff but these guys have this cheesy sound in a number of their songs. greg shut the fuck up. and learn the difference between "your" and "you're". and don't forget the shut the fuck up part Oh yeah, the Real McKenzies are actually from CANADA (Vancouver) nice try though Scott. I thought Flogging Molly was from California? Your going to make fun of me because of my review. Look, I write from my perspective, so I am going to share my feelings. To mikeshitter: I agree with the first post'er Hahah One Day Savior.. statement on religion. nice. anyway this was great. rise against has never ceased to amaze me life. their new stuff is amazing. mad caddies was better that one time they played here in chicago with rise against at the fireside a couple decembers ago. Whoever the hypocrit posting in response to the reviews is, don't type the word "we", because it is "you" that feels it necessary to make fun of people not everyone. But keep me informed when you decide to post a review so I can pick it apart to make me feel better about myself. It's been said 100,000 times before, but Dropkicks, McKenzies and Flogging Molly aren't Irish or Scottish. You deserve the bottlecap for that twattish comment. Most of your good bands stay away from traveling festivals and package tours. Note, I said "Most" guts are punk rock. Greg, you're a fucking dumbass. Usually I don't like making fun of people on here, but for some reason, your review just asks for it. No one gives a shit about you and how religion affects you. We also don't care that you caught a fucking bottlecap. Don't be such a fucking fanboy. You might get aids or some shit from that. Try a little harder on the next review. |
