You're right gaycore, gothcore, lamecore, and mathcore have no right sharing the same stage.

[andrewa5]

I understand the mathcore comment for protest but do explain the others...

Meh silverstein is gay, you can take your pick with the lame/weak.

all those bands sound the exact same and have the exact same lame fan base.

nothing weird about that at all you fucking idiot.

[shit stroll]

Against Me!, Fake Problems, Mastodon

wut
hmm, i don't remember fake problems being on that tour.

[TheOtherAndrew]

hmm, i don't remember fake problems being on that tour.
I didn't actually go, so you're probably right. The main thing to note was Mastodon.

[shit stroll]

yeah, with these arms are snakes/planes mistaken for stars and cursive as the opening bands.

[askylitlullaby]

Senses Fail, Dance Gavin Dance, Foxy Shazam, Sky Eats Airplane.

Kind of strange.

[AshesAshes]

Senses Fail, Dance Gavin Dance, Foxy Shazam, Sky Eats Airplane.

Kind of strange.

Those bands all have the same fan base sounds like they got it right

[PDon11]

Gym Class Heroes and The Roots

[wroteurname]

You're completely right

[recall reality]

Gym Class Heroes and The Roots

Gym Class Heroes, Rx Bandits, P.O.S. & K-OS

[Deartragedy88]

This wasn't a tour, but a few years back Third Eye Blind and The B-52's did a show for the Indy 500. It might have been Carb Day.

[Deartragedy88]

Gym Class Heroes, Rx Bandits, P.O.S. & K-OS

I went to that show. P.O.S. was probably my favorite of the night.

Not at all first of all and second there was no need for the fucking idiot comment, its a thread for fun for people to post about the given subject, no need to be an asshole...

[underthetalking]

This is the internet. This isn't supposed to be fun.

[andrewa5]

ok so put a protest the hero song next a fucking silverstein song, they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, Ill scarlett is like reggage rock and TDWP is metal core.
you dont know what your talking about and your insults dont really hurt to be honest.

[mattmatumbo]

do you guys remember when:
dragonforce
all that remains
& horse the band all toured together? that was awkward stuff.

What he (and I before) are saying is that they all would bring in the same general audience, it's not that outrageous to think of these bands playing together.

[SamEyes]

Bring Me The Horizon with main support The Secret Handshake.

[andrewa5]

I remeber seeing that and i laughed, i would have seen that!

[SanePsychotic]

That is weird. But good weird.

[makeasound]

Mest, Allister, and Scary Kids Scaring Kids was one of the strangest ones.

-The Used, 30 Seconds to Mars, and H2O.
-Head Automatica, The Bled, and Atreyu opening for The Used.
-Vendetta Red and Dredg opening for Chevelle.
-Death by Stereo opening for Sum41.

[El_Jeffe]

the last few tours the roots have gone on
the police & fergie

& the classic "what the....?"s: jimi hendrix & the monkees, the who & toots & the maytals

[Deartragedy88]

That is weird. But good weird.

Oh for sure. This year they had Jack's Mannequin, Stone Temple Pilots, Ludo, Yellowcard, OkGo, Sum 41, Chevelle, and a few others play at some of the shows there.

[WakeUpBlondie]

Metro Station totally ruined the SYG/ STD/ Lydia tour.

Whoa, now that's odd.

[mattmatumbo]

[DilesMavis]

LOL! What the.... :|

[Deartragedy88]

didnt the fall of troy open for the deftones or something?

Yeah it was Deftones, The Fall of Troy and Dir En Grey.

[Deartragedy88]

another tour I thought was weird
Comeback Kid and The Loved Ones

[positive hearts]

How about when I saw The Color Fred open for Drop Dead Gorgeous, From First to Last, and Chiodos? One of those things isn't like the others...

[andrewa5]

Yeah it was Deftones, The Fall of Troy and Dir En Grey.
Dior en grey is going on tour and The human Abstract is opening up.
haha
its sick :P

[andrewa5]

I remeber hearing about this, how was the crowds response to the color fred there?

[harveyn590]

None of these are that crazy, all within the same emo/punk genre that 13-18 year olds would like.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Murder By Death opening for Clutch

[makeasound]

I've always loved Micky's justification for that tour... that they were "theatrical live" and he was "theatrical live" so it made perfect sense!....... or not.

[El_Jeffe]

LOL! What the.... :|

haha yea it was their reasonably recent reunion tour. my mate went to see them & rung me on his cellphone from the concert, & in a very unimpressed tone says "listen.." it sounded to me like he was at a horrible karaoke bar, so noticing the time i told him to get the hell out of there & get to the police concert haha. he said he was already there, except "some possibly american idol novelty reject called fergie was opening for them" haha. he'd never heard of her before then, but definitely remembers the name now

but for the record, he said the police were on fire & played one hell of a gig

I've always loved Micky's justification for that tour... that they were "theatrical live" and he was "theatrical live" so it made perfect sense!....... or not.

especially crazy that hendrix opened for them.... what the!? haha the monkee's must of been shocked though... "holy wow, is that bloke actually playing the guitar, it's not pre-recorded? how is he doing that?!"

[SamEyes]

I remeber seeing that and i laughed, i would have seen that!

I'm going hopefully, haven't got my ticket yet but might buy it now.

Can't miss TSH! He's never in the UK!

[AtFullSpeed]

[WhitestKidUKnow]

[andrewa5]

[Rodeo]

At The Drive-In / No Doubt / Snoop Dogg / Rage Against the Machine
Poison the Well / The Bled / Murder By Death

[ZoSo1886]

Gym Class Heroes and The Roots

both MC fronted bands i believe

[Burn That Shit]

Woah woah woah. I agree most of the bands listed in the OP's post are lame, but Protest The Hero are quite excellent, albeit touring with douchebags, but none the less a great band.

[GuitarR0cker1]

Against Me!, Fake Problems, Mastodon

wut
lol, that was an actual tour?

There For Tomorrow, Straylight Run, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Anberlin was pretty weird. Name the two bands that don't belong.

[handlikesecret]

underoath, saosin, the devil wears prada, person l

hmm
agreed.

[ugman_2000]

Sonic Boom Six (http://www.absolutepunk.net/www.myspace.com/sonicboomsix) opening for Bad Brains

[andrewa5]

Woah woah woah. I agree most of the bands listed in the OP's post are lame, but Protest The Hero are quite excellent, albeit touring with douchebags, but none the less a great band.
Thanks you! i love them and people think they are a regular "scene" band!

[andrewa5]

I think Fake problems wasnt but like against me and mastodon is pretty jokes:P

[PDon11]

Oh, ok. I didnt know that was the criteria for music to be similar with similar fanbases, my bad.

[ZoSo1886]

Oh, ok. I didnt know that was the criteria for music to be similar with similar fanbases, my bad.

similar bands, kind of.


and isn't music and touring all about exposing different types of people to different genres to expand their minds beyond what they believe to be the best type of music?

[Nourez]

Guns n' Roses invited Nirvana to tour with them. Kurt refused, but if it had happened, it would have probably been one of the weirdest tour lineups ever.

[MADSTA]

all those bands sound the exact same and have the exact same lame fan base.

nothing weird about that at all you fucking idiot.
I can understand saying that about The Devil Wears Prada and Silverstein, maybe Protest the Hero, but have you ever heard illScarlett?

[SamEyes]

Its gonna be fun, hope you enjoy it!

Aw that was nice :-)

Thankyou! I'm sure I will!

[DilesMavis]

Oh really? I think I remember this vaguely. Lol! Karaoke bar :P! That's too funny. I really enjoy The Police actually....that's awesome he went though. Fergie really annoys me to no end though. Since like...the dawn of time. Nice though, seemed as though The Police really put their hearts into it rather then just showing up and doing what they gotta do.

P.S. I checked out The Skatalites! I actually kind of really liked them. Thank you so much, I'm sloooowly getting into ska, but it's definitely happening.

[El_Jeffe]

i would have liked to have gone, but it was a couple weeks after crowded house & i only had the money for a ticket & road trip costs to one... the finn brothers will always always win in this situation haha

that's awesome! what material from the skatalites have you heard mate? i'm actually listening to hi-bop ska now haha

[andrewa5]

Ive heard good things about this band

[Coh33d]

I would say Death By Stereo opening up for Bad Religion was pretty weird. Amazing show though.

[El_Jeffe]

Ive heard good things about this band

crowded house or the skatalites? either way i couldn't emphasize getting into them more so. great music

[domotime2]

ahh....


Jet Lag Gemini, Suburban Legends, Patent Pending, Zolof the Rock n Roll Destroyer.

one of these bands is not like the other....cough everyone left after suburban legends, sorry jet lag gemini.

[andrewa5]

[andrewa5]

Skatalites! and ummm ive heard crowded house, i had a cd from them that was like from 1999 i think

[El_Jeffe]

Skatalites! and ummm ive heard crowded house, i had a cd from them that was like from 1999 i think

the skatalites are one of the best & most influential bands ever. great musicians. if you're into reggae, ska, jazz, swing, or anything along those lines, you'll love the skatalites mate

oh righto, the only crowdies album to come out in '99 was afterglow, which is a collection of b-sides & rarities. great listen for any crowdies enthusiast, but probably not the best starting point. give woodface or together alone a spin sometime

[madallion!]

Metro Station, Tyga, and Cash Cash...

what is that?

[AussieBoy]

the last few tours the roots have gone on
the police & fergie

& the classic "what the....?"s: jimi hendrix & the monkees, the who & toots & the maytals

yes !!! i did the biggest double take when i saw the poster for that in the paper!!!



U2 and Kanye West the year before at Olympic Park was a weird one too

i always found Family Values weird of

Limp Bizkit, Crystal Method, Staind, Red Man & Method Man

[voncorn]

Metro Station, Tyga, and Cash Cash...

what is that?

A tour that has the intention of sucking money out of the wallets of 14 year old girls parents' all across the country

[fearxmexdear]

Coheed and Cambria, Linkin Park, and CHIODOS?

it was weirdd.
Linkin Park SUCKS, and i can kinda understand the Coheed and Chiodos because of their voices..but weird, all the same.

[aradiantsunrise]

Metro Station totally ruined the SYG/ STD/ Lydia tour.


Agreed.

[andrewa5]

hahaha, that made me laugh quite hard!

[hxctyhxc]

just look at the list for the voodoo fest.

lil wayne
mars volta
N.E.R.D.
R.E.M.
angels and airwaves
just to name a few

[andrewa5]

woah thats fucking weird! lol

[dissidENTent]

just look at the list for the voodoo fest.

the idea of a festival a new thing for you? festivals are almost always a variety of genres...

anyways,

The Rolling Stones and Kanye West

i've got some more odd ones that i can't think of right now...

[andrewa5]

yea didnt snoop dogg play bamboozle last year?
haha

[dissidENTent]

yea didnt snoop dogg play bamboozle last year?
haha


bamboozle is actually a very awkward place for Snoop because Bamboozle is a punk type festival unlike Coachella or Bonnaroo which are mixed genre festivals...

[ABCD4NN1]

tdwp and white chapel..

[andrewa5]

bamboozle is actually a very awkward place for Snoop because Bamboozle is a punk type festival unlike Coachella or Bonnaroo which are mixed genre festivals...

yea like thats what i meant, but either way its Snoop, i can see him having a good time anywhere!

[viva la cymche!]

tdwp and white chapel.. That's not a weird tour, that' just a shitty tour.

[andrewa5]

naw just whitechapel...

[chelsea [cult]]

jimi hendrix & the monkees

you beat me to it.
you know your stuff.... New Hero!

[Rodeo]

PEOPLE!


Festivals are NOT tours. They are MEANT to be weird and ecclectic. Tours are where you have to see the same people and same bands day-in-and-day-out for 2 months straight!!!

[LiquorAndDick]

all those bands sound the exact same and have the exact same lame fan base.

nothing weird about that at all you fucking idiot.

Exactly what I was thinking lol. If anything PTH are the odd ones out because they write concept albums about gods, instead of worshipping them.

[John is a cult]

Underoath and SLIPKNOT?
its just sad... =-[

[jdfleming89]

slipknot, disturbed, dragonforce, five finger death punch and.......underoath?

[Rodeo]

slipknot, disturbed, dragonforce, five finger death punch and.......underoath?


Generic metal coupled with generic metal. What's so weird about that?

[andrewa5]

Exactly what I was thinking lol. If anything PTH are the odd ones out because they write concept albums about gods, instead of worshipping them.
and the fact that their sound is COMPLETELY different

[fearxmexdear]

Generic metal coupled with generic metal. What's so weird about that?

Have you HEARD UnderOath lately?
They are nowhere NEAR metal compared to the other bands. AT ALL.
UnderOath is like, generic screamo-turned-even more generic screamo.
Its awful.
There is not one goood reason to see that tour.
It'll have shitty metal bands,dumbass metalheads, and the emo/scene crowd just there to see shitty UnderOath. what a blatant waste of money and time.

[Chalie22]

Mastodon/Against Me!/Cursive/These Arms Are Snakes

so weird and diverse yet so fucking good

[MatthiasEllis]

and isn't music and touring all about exposing different types of people to different genres to expand their minds beyond what they believe to be the best type of music?

Thomas moore wrote a book about this kind of world, its called "Utopia."
