the dropkicks are TERRIBLE. all the musicians who made that band noteworthy during its first few years have all moved on to other projects. now its a bunch of bland mindless garbage for drunk frat boys.
Most overrated bands EVER!

Notsomuch, IMHO. The band has evolved over the years, from the early days of straight hard core to the now of Irish folk mixed w/ electrified punk energy. Shows are still great, energy and pit are still there. I just look at them a bit differently I guess...
Losing Mark Orell was bad, I will admit. He rocked.

the last time i "saw" them, i was only there for the opening act (SOIA). When DKM took the stage they were thoroughly boo'd. they also started chanting "we want mccolgan!"
edit: actually, i "saw" them once more after that, at the warped tour 10th anniversary show in boston, and they played, very, very poorly. crowd wasn't really into them either

I still listen to the radio a lot, especially in my car. Classic rock station mostly. As soon as U2 comes on I change the station.
Yeah, U2 for sure, along with REM. As far as big names I would have to throw the doors, grateful dead and bon jovi in there
So you still haven't found what your looking for?
Also Pink Floyd. Stop with the fucking three minute intros, I got shit to do. Play the fucking song. Also, laser fetish.
tell me you don't understand prog rock without telling me you don't understand prog rock
I'm just trolling cause I knew someone would bite on this one. I mean, we already started bagging on U2 and they are way better and more influential than Pink Floyd.
south park dedicated an entire episode to how the singer for u2 is a giant walking piece of shit. your argument is invalid.
Some bands don't suck all that much (but the latter half of U2 surely does), but the commercialized crap they repetitively play on the "radio" or streaming certainly does, never digging into their catalog for the much better songs...just the pop crap that hit the charts.
Worst is when you go get an MRI and they have a streaming service piped to the headset, so have to give a song or band for it to pick stuff...but if you say "metallica", you'll be listening to the black album the entire time and might kill yourself.
gotta agree I woke up one morning to my Girlfriend fucking my roommate. Totally pissed me off. Bunch of my mates rolled into town that evening shoved me into a van and off to the Catalyst to a Ramones Concert we went. The Mosh pit was just what I needed and the energy was out of this world with the Ramones lighting it up. Afterwards I was in a great mood from taking it out on everyone in the pit. We got back to my place and the lights were off Pete had Alix in his arms on the couch she was holding her head and moaning in pain. Turns out she had frequent severe migraines. I just looked at him , said thanks Pete, she's all yours. grabbed beers from the fridge and me and the guys walked down the trail to the beach in Aptos.
Live
Used to live near Mike D., and would see him from time to time in random places, like kid's soccer tryouts and the local micro-grocery store. One Halloween when we were walking around the big Halloween street in Cobble Hill I saw him and said "nice Mike D. costume" to him, and I still feel stupid about it to this day.
