warped.... tour

[Hollow]

Kinda like Ceremony opening for AFI?



BAM.

[Rude Boy Puff]

I have a hard time hating AFI
The music sure like away but theyve always toured with pretty legit bands and never really went for the monotonous pop punk tour package New found glory w/saves the day, set your goals and for years strong
I hope no one gets offended i suggest that ceremony is a legit band

[trappedinside]

i still find it kinda hilarious that Set Your Goals is actually the name of a hardcore band.

Hell no, I love Ceremony. I just think touring with AFI isn't appropriate for a hardcore band. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have no like on for AFI, but they're a fully mainstream band and I've just kind of gotten sick of this mainstreaming of hardcore. I don't care if hardcore kids like top 40 stuff (i've been known to dance when drunk), but I don't want hardcore to become Top 40. I think it just kind of de-legitimizes it, IMO.

well no one listens to AFI and thinks "hardcore punk" but they do have roots in it and they do hold those roots high. Without AFI I never would have seen sick of it all.
and a few years later I got to mosh on goths to poison the well

[Rude Boy Puff]

ask kids in seattle how big alexisonfire shows are.

They will probably say" who?"

[grind/bro]

Oh true. But in Canada these bands are pretty huge, there are bigger name bands in the US who follow similar formula. Hardcore itself will never become mainstream but bands will mix in more mainstream elements, get "big" and then bring kids into the "hardcore scene". Ask Troy. In that thread about 5 records that brought you into what you listen to now or whatever, AoF was the first band he got into. Now look at him. Everything gets its 15 minutes in the spotlight and then kinda wanders off again.

truth

except i could never stand underoath at the time. Cancer bats didn't exist...
just alexisonfire and the bled. which saved me from all the sublime / nirvana / linkin park i listened to at that time.
and then now listen to music that is way better.

[keith.]

ditto
i had to get through a lotttt of popular metalcore and toughguy hardcore at the time to find my own tastes

[Jordan f.]

troy, there is nothing wrong with Sumblime.

[KYLESTYLE]

troy, there is nothing wrong with Sublime.

Australian beach-bro life has infected his brain!

Huh. Hadn't thought of it that way. I suppose your right, to a point. Now that I think about it, if it hadn't been for Green Day, I'd have never learned who the clash were. Chalk this one up to me being old and cranky. Oh, and I saw your reply too, Puff, just multiple quoting on my phone sucks.

my love for sublime has been around for awhile

"Life is too short, so love the one you got
'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static, I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity"

[Rude Boy Puff]

I never thought ripping off bad religion and krs one could sound so terrible

[ian]

check out the swellers if you go. theyre legit.

[Human-Demise]

sorry for bumping this but i just thought id share that i am going to this and i'm stoked on all the wrong bands playing.

[Andrew]

Hell no, I love Ceremony. I just think touring with AFI isn't appropriate for a hardcore band.

And the audience on that tour generally agreed. Ceremony went over like a fart in an elevator to AFI's audience. I would not worry about true hardcore going mainstream.
