We The Kings - "We The Kings" 10 Year Anniversary Tour Tour • Page 6

The Maine were selling Make America Emo Again merch this past summer. Surprised (and glad) this trend hasn't caught on more

 

this summer it was at least it seemed like it wasn't going to destroy this country, it's too serious now to joke around about

 

Yes, this 100%

 

Really scraping the bottle of the barrel for these 10 year tours, huh?

The Story of Tonight remix was just played over the speakers after they finished Check Yes for the 2nd time

The crowd was one of the most boring crowds I think I've ever been in. Seeing a "greatest hits" type crowd at a 10 year was such a bummer, especially when only about 5 or so people in the whole room knew the words to the more rare cuts (I honestly felt like the only person singing along to Headlines Read Out and The Quiet). There was absolutely no movement or real enthusiasm/energy outside of Check Yes, All again for you, Secret Valentine, Skyway Avenue, Say You Like Me, and the JEW cover.

I was going to go again on Saturday in RI but with how unenjoyable that crowd was, I'll pass.

 

Yeah the "Make America..." merch just really isn't funny anymore now that Trump won. I bought a Maine hat at Warped last summer and I'm legitimately scared to wear it in public or even at shows because I don't want someone to see me wearing it, not read what it says, think I'm a Trump supporter and *SURPRISE* get a bottle smashed over my head.

 

No one should ever have to pay $50 to meet a band of that size lol, especially if the venue caps are like 200-300. You could easily do a meet and greet of that size for free and it wouldn't take too long.

If it's like a 1500 cap venue, that's understandable because it would take too long and it can get claustrophobic, but this is so small that it'd be totally justifiable.

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

$50 is fucking ridiculous for a rushed, impersonal meet and greet. Spend your money more wisely.

That's like...200 chicken nuggets.

 

Well these guys care about nothing but the dollar.

 

I'm sure the guys in the band know they have limited time left as a band. They are trying to make one final cash grab.

 

I can't believe they even still exist now.

 

Wow, they've been doing that Jimmy Eat World cover for a long time now.

 

They actually played Check Yes twice?

 

they've done that on every date

 

jesus.

 

I went to this and the performance was pretty unbearable. The songs are fine but the stage banter was so clearing pandering sex appeal to young girls. Everything from "who's place can I stay at tonight" to "who needs a ride on the tour bus" to a ham-fisted sex analogy involving tetris and Travis thrusting with his guitar between his legs, he was basically just saying things he knew would get a reaction. This band is such a joke.

 

So my friend went to this in Detroit tonight and apparently one of the band's manager is Frankie Muniz, and he's on the tour with the band for its entirety.

 

That's awesome and wow you look like my podcast co-host Dan! Haha I looked it up and it was Astro Lasso.

 

Oh that's not me, that's my friend Tyler, haha. I wasn't able to go tonight.

 

I watched Frankie Muniz air drum and sing along to Check Yes Juliet.... in 2017

 

Frankie Muniz - Wikipedia
what a fascinating post-acting life

 

My friend ran into Frankie Muniz in a Five Guys in the Chicago Loop a couple months ago. Said he looked like he was on a date or something. lol

 

I remember seeing him with his band Kingsfoil. I think they opened for Sparks The Rescue.

 

Definitely forgot the Chicago show was tonight. I probably wouldn't have gone anyways.
