They all melt together for me now but it seems like there was some rockabilly band that opened for them that was pretty rockin.  And maybe Longfellow?

[TobiasFunke]

Listened to an interview with the Burger Records guys on NPR, seem pretty rad how they dedicate like 100% of their day putting out music. But I agree Spencer, every time I see them and their friends swarming around their booth at record swaps they always seem like the worlds biggest burnouts.

[Biergott]

Americana is arguably their worst record from the 90's.

 

Smash and Ixnay beat it by miles.  If they did Smash, and with Rancid doing Wolves, plus all of the great ska bands on the bill, I would seriously consider jumping on a plane.

 

Side note, being stuck in traffic this morning allowed me to listen to Wolves front to back.  It's a goddamn masterpiece.

 

I'd rather they play Ignition personally.  It was all downhill after that.

[James]

Yup, I was just about to say Ignition is their best by far. 

[nate]

Ignition and Smash were very strong.  The rest of it I am not a huge fan of.

[Lhalo]

I concur that Ignition was their best.

[Brandon]

I never was really into Offspring....their first stuff that I heard on the Nitro compilations and original albums were pretty good.

Didn't it all go downhill around the time of Pretty Fly For A White Guy?

Dude makes some good hot sauce though.

[James]

Dude is kinda smart too....

[Richard]

Is there a big appeal for Sublime with Rome? They seem to always get top billing at these kinds of festivals.

[nate]

Who knows.  I was never a fan of either iteration of Sublime.

[Brandon]

Dude is kinda smart too....

No doubt.

Him and Brett (I won't even attempt to spell his Jew last name) from Bad Religion are highly educated.

[nate]

You mean Greg Graffin?  He has a geology degree from UCLA and PHD from Cornell.  Currently teaches grad classes at UCLA.

[Brandon]

Yeah, I mix the two up all the time. Brett was the owner of Epitaph.

I'm not punx

[halobob]

Man a lotta Offspring hate here.  Smash is my favorite CD of theirs but I haven't disliked any CD.  The Kids Aren't Alright from the Americana CD might be my favorite Offspring song.  

 

On a different note, high school me would've loved this concert.  Offspring and Linkin Park are in my top 10 live bands.  Also I haven't seen Unwritten Law in over a decade, same with Thrice.  Saw SOAD for the first time in a decade at KROQ AAC and they rocked.  

[TobiasFunke]

Ixnay on the Hombre rules. Ya'll trippin'

[Brandon]

I've seen Thrice so many times. Probably the band I've seen the most, really.

Agreed on Linkin Park. I'm not really into that kind of music, but worked with a dude back in the late 90s that invited us out to his trip-hop group playing at The Roxy. So we went out to support and the main band was some no name called Linkin Park. They were pretty tight musically and sonically solid. I was into their first album because of the show, but my musical tastes veered.

[James]

Offspring hate? Actually just a preference for their early work has been stated. That tends to be the case for most bands

[tdawg87]

Really odd to see Bolt Thrower on there.

[Jimmag]

[nando714]

I saw offspring at the oc fair last summer

Solid show

[TobiasFunke]

There was a point in my life where I listened to All I Want more than any other song on Earth.

[nate]

Just downloaded ixnay from iTunes while sitting in the airport waiting for a delayed flight. Man it has been a long time since I have heard this. Still ****ing rocks.

[Richard]

Alright dudes, we missed out on that sweet limp bizkit/Korn show a few weeks ago, but we got a chance to redeem ourselves with this upcoming tour:

 

[Brandon]

I still can't get over that black dvd where Manson gives his drummer head.

[Lhalo]

Wait... what?!!!
