Does this look infected?

Have the rest of the band commented yet? There's something creepy about a man in his late thirties dressing like a teenager and hanging out with a bunch of 16-yearolds on a regular basis no matter what... We had a 19-yearold working the summer at my office and I felt like a dinosaur compared and I'm in my early thirties...

Kind of funny, I was 14 when The Black Parade was released and almost everyone I knew where either into MCR and dressed like emokids or tried to look like Billie Joe or Tom and were into punk and both sides thought the other were a bunch of posers. "No my version of looking depressed and having black hair and playing loud guitars is much cooler than yours!!!"

Changed my mind again, she needs to drop the Folklore vibes and do something new again. This sounds like a bunch of songs from Midnights, nice sounding and all and perfect for background music but nothing memorable. Wonder what would happen if she did a new Speak Now and wrote everything herself? Honestly I think she need a longer break once this is done, non-stop production since 2017 with Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Midnights and now this as well as four re-recorded records and three world tours so that people have a chance to miss her.

I read an interview with Dave in 2007 where he said he wasn't very happy in the band during the Chuck era and the only part he enjoyed was playing the shows and that the music was too easy. The rest of the band also said that they weren't surprised that he left since he didn't seem happy and i Deryck even went as far as to say that the only thing he contributed to the band after AKNF was solos and he did the rest (which Dave didn't agree on). I "blame" Avril for UH witn Deryck being happy and not in a metal mood. Also parts of this record sounds like it could be on any Epifat record from the late 90's - which isn't necessarily a good thing, I enjoy that music but it gets pretty repetetive and I might as well be listening to Teenage Suburban Wasteland to get the real deal.

Really solid record, first Trio record I've wanted to listen to repeatedly in a long time. Speaking of someone just getting into the band some of my favorite songs are on the compilations. Bleeder, Goodbye Forever, Queen of Pain, While Your Waiting, Warbrain, Fine Without You and Jaked on Green Beers are great songs that easily gets overlooked.

I had never seen the footage of Josie and Carousel from this show: Amazing that the bootleggers managed to keep so much to themselves for 25 years...

Is this also an official release or just something some fan put together?

I've changed my mind, these two records are what I wanted. Talk about further reinventing yourself rather than just regressing backwards like certain acts have a tendency to do. It'll be interesting to see what her live show's gonna be like when that happens again.

Yeah, I got into the band in 2005-2006 and I believe this and Big Day Out were my first encounter with the stage banter and I thought they were hilarious and cool. I was 14 in 2006 and 14 years later I no longer think they were the greatest comedians or coolest people but it's fun to watch this with nostalgia glasses. Around the same time in 2006 I also found this video and it made me question if it was the same guy in both clips:

I had completely forgotten about this performance: It's like Big Day Out but on speed, out of a 80 minute set I'd say about half of it is music and the other half consists of them being idiots. Pretty entertaining!

If it was the only song on the record being about how hard is it to be a kid sung by mid 20's to 30-year olds I would have ranked it higher but on a record filled with songs about hating your teachers, jocks and adults in general it just feels like they were in a brainstorming session and came up with topics that junior high schoolers would relate to and divorced parents was one of them. The only thing missing is a song about how your mom sucks because she is making you clean your room or mowing the lawn. But 14-15 year old me whought it was a really deep and impactful song so i guees it worked out for them. "Mom and dad they quite don't understand it..."

The band was a total trainwreck from Derycks divorce until Steve quit with cancelled dates due to Deryck getting sick, cracking his back etc, troubles with Island in getting SBM released, if I remember correctly it sat on the shelves for almost a year until it was released in 2011. Then Deryck kept on self-destructing while the rest of the guys were getting married and Steve having kids so I get why he left the Deryck Whibley Freak Show. They had to cancel so many shows and even tours due to Deryck being a drunken mess and doing his best to drink himself to death so I totally get why a 32-year old family man wants out of that circus. I mean even after he left Deryck kept getting fucked up until he ended up in the hospital. Happy it's all better but there definately seems to be bad blood between Stevo and Deryck since Steve hangs out with all the other members of the band.

Sounds like the same song they've been releasing since they reversed back to defending pop-punk after Coming Home. That record deserved a much better fate and is the only one of their releases that still holds up today on it's own merits and not something that you need to put your nostalgia goggles on to enjoy.

So this looks promising:
