Looks bad ass. Wish that we had more shit like that closer to home I dont really have the time to be away for days at a time right now and when I was younger I didnt have the money
 
I found my old flyer collection while looking for something else, thought I'd scan and share some of the better ones. Can't believe I forgot about some of these shows.

Link 80, The Lawrence Arms & Lanemeyer... That was a good one, It was before The Lawrence Arms had any albums or EP's so all their material was new to me.

The show listing one is a fold out flyer from 2002 or 2003 I think. In the month of April alone you had shows from Les Savy Fav, North of America, Poison the Well, American Nightmare, From Autumn to Ashes, Sparta, Thursday, Billy Talent, Bombshell Rocks, Face to Face, Millencolin, The Gagjits, Alexinonfire (With Robin Black (the MMA commentator)) Atom & His Package, Leftover Crack, H20, The Darkest Hour etc, etc... ah the good old days.

Bombshell Rocks, these guys remind me or Rancid a little.


This was the first year of the Warped Tour, I think. Tickets were only $12 and you got into the CNE for free, which I think cost $5-$10 at the time. I didn't go, I was only 12 at the time.

Some old Alexis on Fire flyers. This first one has them listed as the second band. It was a year before they released their debut album, they just sold $3 cd-r's of home-made recordings at the time.

I posted some Raised Fist and Five Knuckle Chuckle earlier in this thread. Fast Offensive were good live, they had that whiny Quebec punk vocal style though.


These shows were all in Detroit (3 and a half hour drive for me at the time) I went to the Propagandhi & Avail show, Strike Anywhere were supposed to open but they cancelled last minute and were replaced by J Church & The Fabulous Disasters (that was disappointing) but still Avail and Propagandhi killed it.

But you do live in a place that allows you to see bands you're into without plane tickets or applying for visas. I don't so when I save up the cash for a plane ticket and visas and then the leave days; I max out on bands

Damn, those look amazing. I'm sure I've got some mid 90's ticket stubs I can scan in. But I don't think they'll compare to those. Raised Fist are awesome. And an Avail, Propaghandi and J-Church show sounds like a good time to me

I have mine up all over the walls in my den /man cave.
Have set lists from a lot of the shows on display with em. Im a dork I think but thats my shit. Lost a lot of my orig ones from the 90s in a housefire few years back though and it broke my heart. Lot of irreplaceable shit went up in smoke.

good stuff dude those were probably all awesome shows
 
I'm listening to some Inside Out as I watch Bellator. He doesn't even sound like the same guy from Rage Against The Machine. It's been years since I listened to these guys.

I had mine on the walls of our jam room when I used to be in a band. I'm renovating my place so I have a big blank wall at the moment. I'm gonna put all my old posters and flyers up and take pic. It's easier than pulling them out of boxes and poster tubes when I'm feeling nostalgic.

That sucks about the fire. I can relate, I lost a garbage bag full of punk t-shirts in a move once... There were a lot of gems in that bag... :(

Now those I lost to a crazy ex.


and I dont even want to think about how many hoodies and patch jackets I have lost over the years to young ladies and bum ass friends who were cold
 
These guys were an awesome local band, they were just high school kids but they wrote some great punk songs, I'm sure no one here will know them, two of them went on to form The End, who sound nothing like these guys.


A punk band from Winnipeg, similar to early Propagandhi. I saw these guys open for Strung Out, and Straight Faced... That was a great show.


When Strung Out played firecracker, I swear everyone in the crowd knew every lyric to that song, it was really cool.


Straight Faced killed it too. I went with a friend who hated hardcore, and he loved them and thought they were better that Strung Out.


Which reminds me, one of the times I went to see LINK 80, a lot of my friends, who never listened to punk or ska decided to come, and they all loved it.

The second song on the Undecided disk is rad. Haven't thought about Straight Faced for years another good shout.

And Strung Out are my all time favourite band, seen them many times starting in '96 and they've never disappointed. Went to watch the Fat Wreck movie last night and the first few bands that Fat Mike signed all get a special section. Lagwagon, Propaghandi, No Use, Good Riddance and Strung Out. Was such a cool movie

Reminded me to go dig out these bands
Goober Patrol


Guns 'n Wankers


And of course Snuff



Which reminded me of another British gem

 
First punk band I ever saw live, one of the anthems of my youth.



30 foot fall covering NOFX, Slayer, Billy Idol, Propagandhi + more in one long medley


Jersey (local punk/ska legends)



White Kaps - Lucky Strike


Drunk In Public

Sounds cool, I'll check that out sooner or later. Didn't even know about it until you mentioned it. Sounds pretty awesome.

Goober Patrol were under-rated, they were a damn good band. I love that video, must've watched that Fat Wreck Chords Peepshow VHS 30 times, the Cinema beer nuts one on Hopeless were great also. Hopeless records and Fat Wreck Chords were my two favourite labels in high school. Snuff I like a lot also.

Got so dunk with the Goober Patrol dudes in Nottingham. They were such a party band.

And those hopeless VHSes were the absolute business.

Here's the promo for the Fat Wreck movie

 
From the good old days when tickets weren't just an email
