only brian says it was disgraceful. and he should be taken out back and stabbed all over repeatedly with a little corn holder thing. because, man, corn can get hot sometimes when you're trying to eat it. so they have those prongs!
dude, that is insane. i wouldn't die or anything, but..ouch! and Rancid has had it. I'm sorry. they're all washed up. they're just cashing on people like you! real punk advocates wouldn't have anything to do with the warped tour. i guess rancid isn't punk anymore. they are emo. i see why tho [and i've said this before] the lead singers wife got stolen by josh homme of queens. i mean, c'mon! what a loser!
And who do "real" punk advocates like then? Because Rancid is like the definition of original punk at the moment.
the definition to people who read the punk cliff notes! you're all so silly!
i will give armstrong of rancid minor props for being part of the Transplants. that was an unexpected and interesting departure. too bad he didn't stick with that gig. the new rancid apparition went down like this: armstrong was like, "right now--these brand new bands are getting rich biting our style and stating that we're their influeces AND they drive better cars and own bigger houses than we do and given the state of the industry, we could sell a whole bunch of albums! the kids still think we're real punk. we can pull this off. and the record company will compensate us well!" you know what? chances are--Warped Tour was a contract stipulation! they probably had to do it. being REAL punk simply doesn't pay the bills, folks.
PS: i give Dashboard minor props for NOT doing the warped tour! that would have made the attending crowd completely unbearable. he knows he can do his own thing and still make out like a bandit.
