Yes I know. I just had to make a topic for Al!

I'm seeing Al live August 22nd in Ottawa at the Civic Centre and I already have my tickets. Knowing me even if people really don't care I think that I'll post pics anyway ha.

Does anyone here have an opinion on him? Also just because I remember reading the q and a a lot on the official website, for some reason someone asked how Sum 41 would feel if Al wanted to do a parody of their song, Cone answered saying he thinks that it would be awesome.

Honeslty if Al did end up doing a Sum 41 song, it would end up in his polka instead of being a whole song. For those ho don't understand what I mean by that you can find out by watching this vid. That polka is from Straight Outta Lynwood which is the latest album released last September.

No. Just no.

I hate him. Can't stand him.

He murdered Green Day's "American Idiot".

Damn why is it that I'm the big fan and everyone else has seen him live already. And I'm 20 dammit! Maybe it's because Al touring staff hates Montreal. =0 He only came here when I was 10 at Just for Laughs!! Grrr

well...kind of indirectly:

i herd basket case on one of his polka's...and i was like "hey, thats a cool little diddy"...so i looked up the lyrics and i found it was green day...and i was like... hey...this is a really good song. so i downloaded that and i fought the law...and then eventually (this was before american idiot) bought american idoit...and then listening to green day led me to blink...who led me to nofx...who led me to a whole shit load of old school punk bands.
