Edit 4:02PM: Pictures added! Enjoy! (and yes if you havent noticed I'm new to this whole make your own tread stuff :lol: )

I like the song "The kids aren't alright" by them, everything else I don't like that much though. Used to be a bit into them back in the day.

Yea, back in the day when I first heard them, I said to myself "What is this...?" :lol: But now they're my number one favourite band.

Been one of my favourite bands for the last few years... I'd really like to see them live.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hit That, The Kids Aren't Alright, Pretty Fly, Original Prankster and Why Don't You Get A Job are my favourites :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking forward to their next album too.

Aye, I like a bit of The Offspring. Think I've got 3 of thier albums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Id say my favourites are Can't get my head around you and Kids aren't alright.

I've never been a huge fan of the Offspring but I've heard plenty of them. When I was younger I use to have a friend who was obsessed with the band so I've probably heard all of there songs about 100 times each (I still couldn't name any of them though). They are a decent band but not so much my thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also saw them live at Warped like 2 years ago, I wasn't paying close attention to it though.

I got into em when Ignition was released. They definitely have a distinctive sound, but that also means all they're stuff pretty much sounds the same. I lost interest with them around Americana/Conspiracy of One. Ignition is definitely their best, Ixnay and Americana (excluding horrible Pretty Fly song) are pretty good. I'd have to say best songs are Session, LAPD, and All I want.

Yea Ignition and Con. of One are some of their best work. :)

 

 

 

Wow I'm surprised how many posts there are. :lol:

I started out listening to these guys when I got their Greatest hits cd. I liked it a lot so I got another one of their cds,Splinter. I REALLY didn't like most of the songs on Splinter, so I don't know if I'm gonna get their new cd. I may have to hear a few songs on it first.

Well there was going to be one song on Splinter that they didn't add, but they will on this new album. :thumbsup:

Edit: Yet another day when I need to do something else so I wont be on till 7-8PM PST. Please keep this bumped. :pray:
