It was great news to me when I found out Butch Walker would be opening for Avril Lavigne. I believe that he is one of the best songwriters at the moment, and it would be a great way for people to hear his music. The only aspect about this tour was that every show would be in front of very large crowds. I was really looking forward to seeing Butch for the first time in a intimate club setting, but I decided to just go to the show to see how it would be.

Not really surprised, I was one of the only people in attendance who had reached puberty. With the young radio crowd almost selling out Denver's Pepsi Center, I had a feeling the show would be better than I was expecting. After a short wait, the large "Butch Walker" banner went up, and the man of the hour (in my opinion) walked out on stage. His back up band wasn't just your normal band; it was American Hi-Fi. Butch came out with all the energy and definitely got the crowd going. Filling his set with most of the songs off of his new album, Letters, he performed a magical set to say the least. With such tracks as "Sunny Day Real Estate," "Uncomfortably Numb," "Don't Move," and "Mixtape" being played in his set, I couldn't help realize how amazing of a musician Butch really was. I fell in love with his record, but a new found respect was made after seeing how flawless he was live. His vocal harmonies were absolutely perfect. My mouth dropped after hearing him hit some of the high notes on stage. I recommend to whomever's reading this that they go see Butch Walker ASAP. He is one of the most entertaining performers around today, and his show is something you do not want to miss.

p.s. Avril Lavigne actually wasn't that bad live.

***** (5/5)

he played Sunny Day Real Estate? Was it the old song Sunny Day or the little intro clip from the new cd? You should see him when he plays in Atlanta....a two hour Butch set with old Marvelous 3 songs, cover songs, a bottle of wine and a grand piano equal the best concert ever.

December 18th could not come any sooner.

yah whats up with that? If you ask me, I would say he was made for this tour, shitty bands usually tour with even shittier ones.

for somebody who qoutes Sum 41 in their signature.....i'd reccommend shutting the fuck up.

but if you'd like to elaborate on how he's shitty, i'm more than willing to spit it back in your face.

BRB, my half hour of power is almost over.....

Fuck you too, It's not the band I'm quoting its the person who happens to be in the band. I thought it was a good quote. I don't happen to like Butch Walker I think he sucks, that's my opinion dumbass. You are entitled to yours as well. I don't need to tell you why.

butch walker is the fucking man. compared to sum 41 he is god. some of his songs are poppy, and sure his album is not some intellectual artistic masterpiece, but the songs are quality. he has a quality voice and quality songwriiting ability. the songs are somewhat derivative but who cares. this guy is the man. he gets the music industry. who cares if he opened for avril, everyone on this board listened to some shitty band at one point theyre ashamed of having listened to. butch is offering these little girls something different, any one is capable of listening to good music, they just need to be exposed to it. its a wise business decision for butch, and props to him for trying to teach these teeny boppers what real music is. i hope butch gets huge, cuz he deserves it.
