Hi, my name's Nick, and I'm a Gaslight Anthem addict

I live in South Orange county, or SoCal. im going ot the san diego show and im so hyped for it. i can't wait to see my alltime favorite band, play alongside other acts i enjoy like rise against and alkaline 3. TGA has been my fav since i heard boomboxes, and later on Drive became my favorite song, and now i sing Old White Lincoln to myself whenever im walking or something...you and your hightop sneaker and your seven tattoos...if they play drive or old white lincoln lill freak out.

so am i entered in the contest now? haha if i got that vinyl i think id cry, and not play it until i get married or die, or something else big...haha

yes, you have finally entered the contest. and you're pretty much guaranteed to hear drive, and you might hear old white lincoln.

btw, the line in owl is "You and your hightop sneakers and your sailor tattoos..."

oh really? i knew it was that or seven, but i cudnt ever figure it out, but thanks now i know. haha

welcome dude

that is hilarious... when I was driving to see TGA at the area 4 festival I had my buddy Eric with me, who had been a fan of TGA for all of 2 days at that point and he also loved that line, and we argued about was it sailor or seven...

so when we got to the show and were hanging out with Brian we asked him and he said "it's sailor tattoos... see" and he pointed at his wife Hollie who wears high top sneakers and has sailor tattoos.

i randomly stumbled upon this... and that is the neatest little anecdote ever!

Phew! I thought I was the only person who misheard that line!

Ha, I know a couple people who thought it was "seven".

I always thought it was set of... but evidently I was wrong.

Yes.
Yes you were.
Go sit in the corner.


I heard some guy talking to Benny about getting a pair of Converse with the number 7 on as a tattoo because of that song, he nodded saying "oh... cool". However, he looked as if he was wondering whether to tell him the truth or not!

Aw man, awkwarddddd.

hahaha that's hilariously awkward. I think that's why I'm too afraid to talk to people in bands I like cuz I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself.

Its cool, I asked Brian if he wanted to make out, he turned me down. =[ lol
