wow that's weird. i came in here to say exactly that. such a sad day when i saw that billing announced.

Maybe if Bad Religion made a good album after they hopped to Atlantic they wouldn't have had to do that.

I will never forget telling one of my classmates I enjoyed bands like Weezer and Green Day, and her immediate remark was "Wow, they're old!"

"They're not old! I remember buying "Dookie" and "The Blue Album" when I was in high school! I mean, come on, it wasn't that long ago- that was only in... uhh...

... 1994...

fark.."

Damn that makes me sad.

So uh, did anyone actually read that article? Blink 182 is headlining their reunion tour. Weezer and FOB are support acts, this is just the whining of some wannabe rock journalist talking about which support band he prefers.

I saw bad religion in Phoenix when they opened for Blink 182. It was right around the time of the New America release. The New America tour they headlined at smaller venues was decent. The album was only okay and really didn't hold up well. It was 2 straight mediocre albums with No Substance / New America.

They are back in full force now though. It was kinda a sad show, no one really knew them, it was a lot of high school kids there to see Blink 182.

I went to that shiat. Some crappy band opened up and I remember them cursing and making fun Elian Gonzalez (it was in Miami). All the parents who took their kids were in shock. I saw some folks walking out with their kids.

fallout boy will are headlining the "we're a bunch of queers who wear eyeliner" tour. They'll be sucking fat c*cks in a city near you!

The weirdest thing about Bad Religion to me is that they had The Promise Ring open for them one tour.

Bad Religion hate?!

Phhhht. I bought Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon when it was first released. Album. The vinyl kind.

Now get off my farking lawn.

Mentat: heh. Mine was when my nephew said the Legend of Zelda was a stupid game because it only used two buttons.

I think the old farker/kid dividing line now is knowing the konami code or not.

SockMonkeyHolocaust: Maybe if Bad Religion made a good album after they hopped to Atlantic they wouldn't have had to do that.

No shiat, though I usually consider Against the Grain to be their last listenable album. Generator and beyond is all pretty much shiat.

Yay BR thread!

//Sorry

Did you proceed to educate him with your A fist and B fist?

I'm not a bug Weezer fan but Blink 182 isn't in their league

FTA: Simple fact is FOB's last three albums crush Weezer's last three albums in every single way.

Rrriiiiiight. Go back to fellating Radiohead. At least then, apart from Radiohead sucking, y'all sound as if you know what you'ra talking about.

FTA: Simple fact is FOB's last three albums crush Weezer's last three albums in every single way.

I'd make a point about roaches and people, but I think it would be lost on these emo kids.

Weezer was good up until the Green Album after that too commercial for my taste..

/Blue Albun > all

Wow. Now you're not only got Weezer, Blink 182, and Fall Out Boy in a thread custom designed for a flame war, you've managed to throw Radiohead in there as well.

Let's step this up a notch, shall we? Nine Inch Nails and Moby are much more talented than Radiohead. Also, Eminem sucks balls and Nickelback is better than your favorite band.

nobody likes when youre opening for emo queens

TOO OLD TO BE OPENING UP FOR THAT SEEEEYAT LOSER BEETCH! LMFAO


Weezer...ever since the fuggin Beverly Hills song Ive wanted to punch you in the face with your glasses on. Sonabiatch!

I stayed up late the other night and watched all available episodes of The Simpsons on Hulu and in different shows, they had both Weezer and Fallout Boy doing guest music.

/somehow relevant to this thread.

Riotboy: Weezer was good up until the Green Album Pinkerton after that too commercial for my taste..

/Blue Albun > all

Weezer hasn't made a good album since '96 or whenever Pinkerton came out, IMO. You don't get over a decade to flail around with bullshiat like "Beverly Hills" and "Island in the Sun" and then expect everyone to still love you.

i think B.R.'s The Empire Strikes First is awesome.

Pinkerton > Blue Album

I saw Weezer a few years ago when they were touring with the Foo Fighters. They put on an EPIC show and in my opinion they out-performed the FF by a long shot. Dave Grohl just said about 5 dozen F-bombs and had about 2 million in extra stage effects but they didn't sound as good.

I'd like to see Weezer with Cake!

DeathByGeekSquad: Did you proceed to educate him with your A fist and B fist?

No, I made the mistake of accepting his challenge to one of the new Sonic games. He whipped my ass and taunted me the whole time, so I had to give him an atomic wedgie just to reestablish the pecking order.

I didn;t bother to read the whole thread, but I would like to say that anyone who thinks Creed is underrated has no valid musical opinion whatsoever.

In any event, the djs I am into are way more talented than any live "musicians" out there.

Pshh, Led Zeppelin would have been nothing if it weren't for Creed.

Led Zeppelin didnt have an ounce of creativity between them. All their riffs are totally ripped off. Plus they couldnt play anyway. It was all studio engineering.

/am i doing it right?

I like all 3 of these bands. Though Fall Out Boy far less than the other two, and Weezer only for Blue, Pinkerton, and some of Red.

And I know that Fark will eviscerate me for this. Whatever.

It is, as is New Maps of Hell

Pretty much this. I keep hearing them on the radio and thinking that they must be a parody of hipsters because they're so overdone; how fake do you have to be to sound like faux nerd rock?

FOB and Blink are about equivalent, just different time periods.

FeedTheCollapse Your favorite band sucks because no one has heard of them.

Oh what's the meme?; "I'm so cool I like bands that haven't even formed yet"

So youre saying that Travis Barker and Pete Wentz arent on the same monthly cycle just yet? I bet they will be after they tour together for a while. It happend to all of us girls at camp.
You hang out with a bunch of women long enough you all get your period at the same time. Oh life!

Must have been an off night, Foo Fighters rocked Tampa on that tour. Weezer was entertaining that night, but in the same league as Foos. The main Grohl banter I remember was him saying he had injured himself a few nights ago, but he was fine to perform that night because he had his whiskey shot before he came out. I'm probably biased towards that show because I'm a huge fan of In Your Honor, probably one of the only people who thinks that's the best Foos album

Gah. Fall Out Boy is just vomitous.

I dig all three of these groups. Fallout Boy gets a lot of crap for being emo, which is hilarious given that most of the people who do so are aged grunge fans. It's not like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, etc. dressed funny and wrote mopey tunes about suicide and being outcasts. I also like making goths' heads asplode by telling them that emo is just the logical evolution of their sub-culture.

dazuwood: I also like making goths' heads asplode by telling them that emo is just the logical evolution of their sub-culture.

Emo and Goth have nothing to do with each other, other than being stereotypically mopey. I see Emo as being more of the equivalent of 80s New Wave/A Flock of Seagulls bullshiat. I dislike emo not because it's mopey (God knows I have no room to judge there), but because it's nasally voiced pop-punk for those who thinks "rebellion" means staying out past your curfew. (See: Blink 182, Fallout Boy). I don't dislike Weezer, but yeah their recent efforts are decent at best and farking terrible at worst.

So, not only do you have terrible taste in music, you lack knowledge about the music you are talking about.

/Nirvana and Soundgarden dressed funny? Maybe in that Nirvana wore dresses to be tongue-in-cheek, but beyond that...

i've seen the rolling stones. 12 times.

I didn't get into Blink or any of the other ones for any "rebellious" reason. Why does music have to be about a persona or a particular way of life? Can't you just like songs on their own?

Bands like Fall Out Boy make Blink 182 look talented.

I still like Weezer. Can't help it.

Bad Religion may be getting repetitive, but they put on a damn good show.

NOPE! FauxOut Boy gets a lot of crap because of Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz. I feel bad for that adorable fat guy singer having to put up with that sheet on the reg.

The Simpson family to a career is like ass cancer to Far...ummmm maybe its too soon for the ass cancer Charlies Angels joke.

meh

Weezer seems to try to make it as difficult as possible to keep being a fan...

Matt Sharp was the glue of Weezer.

In my universe, they broke up in '97 and Rivers Cuomo moved to Akihabara.

This is what happens when fans prop up bands that really aren't all that great to begin with.

FreakinB: Can't you just like songs on their own?

Music's not that bad, but the nasally vocals with lyrics specifically targeted towards 14-year olds is what kills it. The only thing worse than that is their embarassing attempts at "maturity".
