Weezer, Blink, & Fall Out Boy

2009-05-14 by scyther | 54 Comments
...are to tour together...

From Pitchforkmedia.com:
The relationship between pop and rock can be dicey; if rock isn't deriding pop for its frivolousness, pop is shaking its ass right in front of rock's self-seriousness. But when it comes to combining the two, over the last 15 years it would be tough to find three bands more apt than Weezer, Blink-182, and Fall Out Boy. And now the trio of chart-topping, guitar-wielding, hook-loving groups are combining forces for a summer tour starting July 24, according to the new issue of Rolling Stone.
Some may scoff at the notion of Weezer-- untouchable high-school-nerd heroes!-- lowering themselves to tour with the puerile likes of Blink and FOB but, in 2009, that sort of closed-mindedness seems silly. Simple fact is FOB's last three albums crush Weezer's last three albums in every single way. And who wouldn't want to hear "Dammit" one more time in a huge arena? Plus, the reunited Blink recruited the set designer behind recent Daft Punk and Kanye West tours to make the jaunt even more mega, according to RS. Dates forthcoming.

Pinkerton is better that anything FOB have ever done IMO.

I think you need to invest in a new thesaurus. "Best" isn't a synonym for "worst by far".

You also spell half your words wrong and think biscuits are some sort of bread that goes with fried chicken.

Are you calling me a negroid?

I am pretty much always right. I studied English at Moscow State University, and have lived in London for the past 3 years. So i have a pretty strong grasp on the subject.

A biscuit is what you would call a cookie.

In the UK, a cookie is a specific type of biscuit.

Fall Out Boy isn't near as bad as people on this site imply.

Tour will rule. Not nearly as epic as Rise Against/Thrice/Alkaline Trio/Gaslight Anthem, but that's a rather heavyweight line-up of bands, IMO.

Rise Against/Thrice/Alkaline Trio/Gaslight Anthem


Best concert I ever got free tickets off of craigslist cause the person thought the concert was the next day and couldn't go when it was really around a month away.

Good good show.

Apparently AAR are joining the tour as well.
FOB are much better than people give them credit for, I mean they could be Weezer- so fucking dead it's not funny.
