No, It wasn't me who created that. It was published in that website of the biggest portuguese music zine as the line up poster. It seems that it's fake. I'm sorry!

I've learned that some people is posting all the news that I've found like it was theirs search. I don't mind that you post them on the official boards, but please can you at least post a link to the site? I don't like other people to get the credit for something that I do, that requires a lot of "hard work" during my free time. I don't see this in just one website: I have to search really hard! It makes me a little less "tired" if at least I get my work recognised.

Thanks

According to some sources I know, they are supposed to play a tour co-headlined by 311, like that Rise Against&Rancid last year.

Lets see!

NOTE: It was a joke made by me. This isn't true.

"Why didn't Dexter do this interview himself?", offers the helpful Q&A.

The answer? "Dexter is busy making a new album for kids to download."

Interesting. Give it a look:

Dexter Holland attended this year edition of  Musink Tattoo Convention & Music Festival at the OC Fair & Event Center .

"

Both bands' stars were in talkative moods. Duffy dedicated a tune to frequent producer Bob Rock – he might not have been in attendance, but the Offspring's Dexter Holland was – and teased Astbury about “Fire Woman” being one of his least favorites to perform. That prompted a defensive retort, yet the thunderous tune's persistent wails did prove taxing to the 47-year-old frontman, who tended to clip various phrasings here and there. "

WTL!: You’ve gotten to tour with The Offspring and have stated that “Smash” was a pivotal point in your musical upbringing, what exactly is it that you like about The Offspring?

Frank: When I was a kid, at the moment when I was a metalhead and listening to Pantera, Metallica, Priest, lots of shit… it was ’94, the big year for the pop punk revival, and I remember [Green Day’s] “Dookie” came out and I wasn’t that into it, I think it’s an okay album now, but at the time I was so-so on it, but what I liked about “Smash” was it was fast and a lot of guitar! It’s cool, I can get into it! I just remember me and my best friend used to sit around and play Offspring songs. So that kind of opened me to what Epitaph Records was, then from there you find NOFX and whatever else. So for me it was just the record that found me the whole scene, really. It started the whole thing, ‘cuz back then I remember the way you got into bands was reading the thanks lists for records you already own. What you do is you get three thanks lists and triangulate, if there was a band that was in all three you didn’t know, you need to get that bands album! That was pretty much the world before the internet. That was just the start of me fooling around with punk rock. Another album that blew me away was Rancid’s “…And Out Come The Wolves”!

WTL!: Yeah! I actually remember back when you’d look for different bands in their thanks lists, and I think most bands thanked NOFX and Pennywise!

Frank: Another thing for me, and this helped me become on Epitaph Records, is I’d go to the local record store in the little town where I grew up and I literally said to the guy who worked there that if anything came in from Epitaph Records, put it aside for me ‘cuz I probably might buy it, even if I don’t know it! I remember stuff like Down By Law, Descendents, stuff like that!

WTL!: How did touring with The Offspring help you personally as a musician?

Frank: It was a pretty surreal tour, not in a bad way, but like “shit, I’m turning with the fucking Offspring!”. They asked me to be on the tour, heard my stuff and liked it! I’ve supported heavier bands in the UK and it worked ‘cuz I was reasonably well known and credit to pull that off, but here it was arena shows and not one fuckin’ person had any idea who I am! In a way I have to justify to people why the hell I was there, ‘cuz I know if I was in the crowd I’d be like “why the hell is this guy with an acoustic guitar on the stage, what the fuck is going on!?”. So it was kind of funny to that point. I was nervous on that tour, honestly, but Offspring fans are open minded as well about the whole thing, and the guys in the band too, Noodles is the nicest! I think the thing that helped me break the ice on that tour was that Todd from H2O was playing guitar for the Offspring as an extra member on the tour, so on the first day I was kind of nervous just standing there and I saw Todd and was like “hey… what the fuck you doing here?”, and he’s like “I’m in the Offspring”. So it worked out. I made a lot of new friends and had a great tour! Also I thought that if even nothing had ever come of it, it’s still one hell of an experience in America! I did a fuckin’ American arena tour! I can tell my grandkids about that!

Hi,

Because of some problems during the translation to english, I will have to cut out the COMMENTS feature of this blog, for each post. In the other hand, I found this little tweak that allow you to leave your message, opinion, suggestion or critic.

Thanks a lot,

from HERE

"I don’t think either the Offspring or Green Day started their bands with the intention of becoming so enormously popular; that sort of fell in their laps-especially the Offspring. My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I’m hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money"
