[Mr.Nipples]

god i hate A.F.I...

[captncrzy]

I might hit 10/6 for the Cure; haven't seen them in ages.

[suprefan]

Its their only U.S. date for the whole year they said.

[woogie846]

Besides AFI and Incubus it looks good so far.

[hangthedj112]

Hmmm, The Cure and a probably mediocre lineup.

[mountmccabe]

Its their only U.S. date for the whole year they said.

Maybe they'll be added to Rock the Bells.

Based on those initial announcements

Boston > Chicago > San Francisco > George

Yeah they are going to add everyoen to Rock The Bells. Robert Smith is going to do an acoustic set before Wu Tang.

[orbit]

Robert Smith is going to do an acoustic set before Wu Tang.

So they are adding Jon Davis too?

[captncrzy]

Its their only U.S. date for the whole year they said.

Of course, I now realize that I'll be in Hawaii on October 6th, so I won't be going.

I checked the Cure's website, it says that the Download is their second and last festival this year. Then it says "The other nineteen North American dates this year will all be Cure shows". I'm hoping I'm reading that right.

[dorkfish]

I'll also be in Hawaii on October 6th...

[Boourns]

Hmmm, The Cure and a probably mediocre lineup.

Yep. Didn't they have Beck, Muse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, and I forgot who else last year? Now that was solid.

[captncrzy]

I'll also be in Hawaii on October 6th...

Lets hang out. Have some poi and go snorkeling....

[schoolofruckus]

Based on those initial announcements

Boston > Chicago > San Francisco > George

John's right; the inclusion of The Thermals automatically makes George the worst bill in the series.

[smokealotapotamus]

I agree... but I'll probobly still go.

[mountmccabe]

John's right; the inclusion of The Thermals automatically makes George the worst bill in the series.

Ha fucking ha.

Boston has four great artists. Chicago has three. The others each have two.

[BlueDevil50]

why does everyone here hate afi??? i mean their new stuff is a lil too poppy but theyre punk legends

[ragingdave]

Because they suck as does your avatar, Fucktard.

[mountmccabe]

Punk legends? Is this a different AFI than the one I'm thinking of?

[DeltaSigChi4]

For being punk legends, their sold-out tickets don't move very well.

E

[Tylerdurden31]

they were destined to be punk legends until they starting putting out absolute shit.

[rage patton]

AFI used to be "punk legends."
Their sound started to change on "Sing The Sorrow." However, I still think that is a great album.
This new album though, was totaly different. They turned into generic pop/punk with flares of emo. They just do not have the "edge" they used to.
I hate to say it, but I have come to terms with the fact they have sold out.
And that is why there is so much hate for AFI here.

Thats cause you bought Vegas and not L.A., ooooops.



And yeah I like the SF line up A lot more now. This means Interpol plays L.A. before this.

[invisiblerobots]

Well, that saves me another trip out to the Gorge.

[PotVsKtl]

they were destined to be punk legends

You can go fuck yourself in a bell jar.
