Who thinks that Pennywise on the show is going to be a disapointment? I mean, after the fiasco that happend the... last time? (I started listening in 2002) I hope everyone isn't hoping for something like that to happen again. Don't get me wrong, it would be cool, but I get a feeling it'll be a let down.

::EDIT::

I just thought that maybe I heard Adam wrong, Pennywise is coming on the show, right?

Pennywise has been on twice since the incident, sans Fletcher. I would assume that he's not coming in this time, either.

pennywise was on first, in... 97 or something, and that was when fletcher.. fletched all over the studio. Then they were on in 7/99. They had to end the show a few minutes early, because fletcher said he had a bomb. Then if i remember correctly, fletcher was there for the lotf? show.Nothing happened... I didn't tune in for FTA, as it was on the night before my senior year in hs, and i wanted to sleep.

The first Pennywise incident you refer to happened pre-Adam so it was pre-1995.

And don't forget Fletcher was going to send them to Poo Poo City. Maybe he just meant Riverside. I remember listening to that show...ahh...a classic!

The first time is believed to have been in 1995. The second visit (06-07-1999), is when he took the Loveline studio hostage.

I suspect that the show will be mild, and "calm" but I won't be disappointed. That's like going to a car race and being disappointed if you don't see a crash. Don't hope for a crash enjoy the show.

I'm trying to work on my Adam like anecdotes. Not too great yet, but "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again".

Robin, I think you mean ‘analogies’ rather than ‘anecdotes.’

If so, as they go, that wasn't too bad.

—Beat It!


Analogy = "A form of logical inference or an instance of it, based on the assumption that if two things are known to be alike in some respects, then they must be alike in other respects."

Anecdote = " A short account of an interesting or humorous incident."

Yes, yes I believe you are correct. Thank you for your input.

Who was the other guy in the studio with Fletcher? He didn't even speak up until much later in the show, for at least a couple of segments I thought it was just Fletcher.

So, are we or are we not disappointed that Fletch didn't attack, maim or, vomit on somebody. I personally enjoyed the show and it reminded me that I like Pennywise music as well.

—Stryker311

I like "Fuck Authority" great song, but I think that Pennywise sound exactly like Bad Religion and I'd rather listen to Bad Religion than Pennywise. Therefore I didn't listen to too much of Pennywise and forgot that I like them also.

Okay, now I'll duck because I know somebody is going to throw something at me for just saying that.

And you dear sir, are aloud to have you own opinion but I own two Bad Religion cds and Fuck Authority and I am enjoy them very much, THANK YOU. I say GOOD DAY.

Oh, and Robin, thank you for reminding me of that excellent song. *goes off to listen to Fuck Authority*

pennywise, like (almost) all older Epitaph bands sounds a lot like BR. nothing wrong with that i guess though. all the older Fat bands sounded like NOFX too. just reflects the tastes of the people who run the labels (brett from BR/mike from nofx).

you enjoy your Christina Aguilera, or Garth Brooks or Whitesnake or whatever you are into and I will enjoy my Bad Religion, with the knowledge that it is faster, louder and more intelligent music than you'll ever enjoy.

wow. if any of you could actually hear, you might realize, pennywise sounds NOTHING like Bad Religion. Pennywise is all about fast non stop guitars and gruff semi yelling non singing lyrics. Bad Religion sing a lot more, have generally slower songs, and are more musically enhanced. that didnt make any sense, but hey

if thats all youve heard then Maybe you can say they sound the same. I am a fan of both, and i know the old stuff, therefore i dont see the similarity. similar to how everyone says 311 sounds just like sublime. Frankly i think they sound NOTHING alike.

c'mon original poster, It was such a letdown the couple times pennywise has been on in the past couple years, absoluteley nothing happened. Their earlier wacky antics helped build the shpw and gave A & D fodder for many years to come.

>>wow. if any of you could actually hear, you might realize, pennywise sounds NOTHING like Bad Religion.

When I heard my first Pennywise CD (About Time or Straight Ahead, who can remember?) I thought "wow, these guys really sound like BR." By the time I read this post, I was thinking it was weird that I thought they sounded so similar. But now that I'm listening to their new CD, I definitely hear the resemblance. Anyone who claims Pennywise wasn't heavily influenced by BR's sound is insane.

okay, whatever. I just listened to Infected, and then Alien in a row, and I maybe can see a slight resemblance. not much, but I guess br sounds more like PW than any other band i can think of. except, maybe Less than jake (non ska stuff)

i went on a CD shopping spree earlier today, and i picked up The Fuse, along with oasis, audioslave, fall out boy, and weezer, i got all their newest cds. and yeah competition song is a great song i already like it better then disconnect, and i can now after downloading some more BR stuff off of itunes, i can totally hear the resemblance. yeah they were definitely influenced by Bad religion. also i knew there was another band that seemed like they sounded like pennywise, but i couldnt think of it. it just came to me though, i think NOFX sounds somewhat like pennywise. although, i dont like nofx nearly as much as pennywise.

edit: disconnect has the best lyrics, although its ironic that im typing this on a laptop. and how could you NOT like that song? i love the guitars in it.

Pennywise might vaguely sound like early NOFX (84-89) but there's really no resemblance to anything they've put out since then. NOFX always lists BR as a huge influence, but I don't really hear that, either.

I saw NOFX at The W.O.W. Hall in Eugene, Oregon back in 1991. I was nursing an ingrown toenail at the time, so moshing while protecting that foot was very difficult. Good show, though.

NOFX nice. At first I thought you put that you had seen PW in 91, since thats the name of the thread, and I was like, "damn, they were just getting started then" then i realized...<---useless information. speaking of early 90s concerts, did you ever get to see Nirvana, Sublime, or AIC live? Before all their respective lead singers died?

Also, I'm assuming W.O.W. stands for World of Warcraft.

& chix0r is damn smart, and music savvy. Lethal combo

Alice In Chains played a two night stand at The W.O.W. Hall in August of 1992. I was not a fan at the time, so I didn't go. I did see them the next year at Lollapalooza.
