Avril Lavigne
 

Has anybody seen her in concert?

A guy from work invited me to go with him, all expenses paid, so I said, "Sure, why not?" I don't really know her music, other than the songs that are out on radio. I know that there is a pit at her concert, which, luckily, we won't be in. I'm not expecting this to be anything more than a circus act. :D

her CD is so awesome... its one of the only CDs I've bought in the past two years... I love her music but like you I'm not really into the pit thing... I've never seen her in concert but I saw her Hard Rock Live special on MTV awhile ago and she did a good job...

I hate that wannabe punk rock poser with the fire of a thousand suns.

Just sayin.

Well, even if the concert does suck, it's still free! :)

Yay for free! ;)

I bought her CD for my kids and I will admit that I've caught myself listening to it more than once. I'll go one step further and admit that I like the song "Skaterboy" (excuse me, I mean sk8rboi :rolleyes: )

But as an angst-ridden punk artist, Avril doesn't cut it for me. Something about her image is too contrived. Like if Menudo was a solo act. And a girl.

But you should go; good, free music is never a bad thing! :)

She is not a PUNKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But if it's for free, I'll go and see her.

If you really want to hear real punk, check out the following:

Ramones, Sex Pistol, Bad Religion, NOFX, Rancid, Offspring, Misfits, etc.

That IS strange...its like she dresses fairly punky but doesnt perform in the genre at all. Faith Hill and 50 Cent could both dress punked out, and even if they performed the exact same songs, theyd apparently be considered 'punk' by MTV

Bob Dylan and Luther Vandros could both go for a mohawk, wear punk cloth and kept their style, MTV would still call them punk. MTV used to be good (in the 80s and early 90s), now they suck.

But Shine... tell us how you REALLY feel... ;)

SATX*APhi, go and enjoy... free is good :)

This is the best post today. :)

If Avril is punk, then I'm Halle Berry. Even though her image is just as contrived as Britney Spears', the fact that she writes most of her own material makes me respect her a little bit more.

She's some kinda Canadian heroine though, which is at once disappointing and slightly freaky. ;)

Avril doesn't write ALL her own material. She got her songwriting cred by sitting in the room while pop songwriters wrote her material for her.

She also isn't the one playing guitar on any of her songs on the album.

She's FAKE.

Shine, I love you.

I <3 you too bitchy day at Jewel lady. :D
