Slapshot, Tree, SBC were all awesome bands to see live. Before that I wasn't able to get in. haha. But I love Jerry's Kids, Gang Green and DYS too,
just never got to see them the first time around, and this time is just not the same as the vids I have seen from back in the day.
When is Slapshot gonna play in New England again??? Why always Europe or Florida? haha.

Florida because the price was right (very right) and Europe because hardcore bands are treated SO much better over there (plus the price is right)

Yeah, I had the misfortune of seeing Slower with Tree in Philly in like '95 and they where terrible. The OG bass player was singing and playing bass
and they had another guy also playing bass. Their OG singer Eric, I think, was cool as shit. He snuck me in to the Khyber pass in '94 cause it was a
21+ show and I was only 18. They where cool dudes.

Not always, but it is the case when your talking about 40+ year old 'hardcore' guys with jobs & familys.

I know but HC is not about money. That's what jobs are for.

I agree, but when you potentially miss work to play a show and you have a family, mortgage etc. then the HC needs to bring in the money too.  I wish it wasnt that way!

If someone called me and offered my band a shit pile of money to play a show I'd be there, in a fuckin' heartbeat, fuck hardcore, that's punk rock.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

I'm not saying that they haven't but when it comes to the only time your band plays is when the price is right I have to question the sincerity. I
guess HC has always felt that way to me. I may be 32 years old but I'm still 15 when it comes to HC. They did sound good in Florida though and it
was fun. Too bad there was like 15 people there by the time they played

Thats another part of why they are so hesitant to play out. There are SO many people that scream for them to play and then when they do play, there
are never really that many people there. In Europe its a totally different story. They play to 1000-1500 a night if the places are big enough.
The other thing is that there are SO many shitheads that have some sort of problem with them that playing in an area where they will most likely be
shitheads isnt worth it. When you have a wife and two kids why play a show when its taking a chance that someone will show up just to start a fight?
Years ago they were supsed to play with the DKM at the CD release party for the Slapshot tribute record at the Paladium in Worcester. The Paladium got
calls saying that if Slapshot played there would be stabbings, so they canceled.
Then a couple of years ago they had a show planned somewhere (I cant remember where) and Chris Lauria got an email from someone saying that they knew
a bunch of people that were going to the show and planned to storm the stage and beat up the band. Whats the point??

I can see all the points you made and I do agree HC isn't worth the trouble but I'd bet that if they had played those shows that the cool people
there would of easily out weighed the dicks who would of just showed up to fight. The show in Florida went down fine and I'm sure a show in Boston
would go down even better.

That kills me, because there's so many bands that I'd love to see but they aren't coming to Toronto and I can't afford to travel for shows. I tried
to convince Choke to do a Slapshot show up here but it isn't going to happen. The sad thing is, I'd be willing to bet that if they did do a show the
turnout would suck.
As for the sincerity aspect, I both agree and disagree. It might make it seem less "punk" but when they have jobs and families to worry about it
makes sense. If they were 20 years old I'd be first in line to tell them to fuck off. Besides, what's more punk than only playing when and where
you want. Fuck what everybody else thinks is the right thing to do.

i read in a german interview with choke that their european tours are like holidays to the band, because they meet so much people they they know that
the shows are only sidework.
bands like right direction,that wrote songs for slapshot,or backfire and lots of others are happy when they come over again that every show is a
party.
it´s more like a family meeting for slapshot than a serious tour in europe and that´s a big plus for us here ...
excuse my bad english,i´m drunk as ...

I also have a problem with US bands that just run over to Europe to cash in also. Have some balls, tour the USA!!! Christ, GB did it last year and
made a killing while having tons of fun. As I said I'm still 15 at heart when it comes to HC.

panzerkreuzer is right about the Euro Slapshot tours. At this point they like to go over to see friends that they only see every few years when they
go play shows for a week or two. Its all sorts of people, young and old, people in bands, people that are just fans and so on. It is like a big
reunion or sorts. They definitly dont go over there just for money.
