Had a great punk rock weekend (last weekend). Went to see the Suicide Machines at the Metro; they were there with Gob and Guttermouth. Of course, my friend and I were the oldest one's there, but we had a great time.

The Suicide Machines have 4 "major label" (Hollywood Records) releases - I guess it would be more accurately stated that they have 4 CDs that get distribution. The first album is their best, mixing ska, hardcore and metal (usually all in the same song) very well. Their 2nd is pretty good, being mostly hardcore. Their 3rd (done around the time they were touring with No Doubt) is an ill-advised trip into pop-dom (in other words, it stinks). Their latest is back on par with the quaility and style of their 2nd CD.

During the show, they played mostly songs from their 1st and 2nd albums with a few new songs and hardly anything from their 3rd CD. Great show. Lots of energy.

Gob are the clown princes of punk rock. Each song featured an ironic metal pose by some member (or multiple members) of the band. Lyrically they're like NOFX. Awesome and entertaining.

Guttermouth proved they were lovers, not fighters. It was lady's night on stage with various female members of the audience and entourage making appearances. Also very entertaining and they worked the crowd well. I, of course, enjoyed the fact that the bass player wore a Bollweevil's T-shirt - which was a great example of synchronicity (plate of shrimp), since my friend and I were discussing the fact the crowd in the mosh pit were much more polite than in the late 80s/early 90s when we were frequenting more shows - which led to talk of the infamous Bollweevil's show when the band, the crowd and Metro security were in an all out brawl over stagediving. I believe as a result of that show the Metro banned stagediving. Hell, Metro security is giving the crowd near the front of the stage water these days...
