Ultra Punk Avril Lavigne Takes "The Best Damn" Tour to Chicago


Lavigne's new image, show seem by the numbers
Avril Lavigne, the sneering pop-punk princess who burst onto the music scene six years ago with two monster singles ("Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi") and middle fingers blazing, was nowhere to be found on Friday.

The Lavigne who did appear at Allstate Arena was neither bratty nor contentious. With her blond locks and bubbly stage persona, the 23-year-old Canadian who wed Sum-41's Deryck Whibley in 2006 appeared to have been replaced by a spirited high school cheerleader. Her between-song banter, which sounded as if it were pieced together in a boardroom, proved as robotic and hollow as her newfound grin. "I want to dedicate this to anyone who's been a fan of mine since Day One," she offered at one point, punctuating her statement with the toothy faux smile of a beauty pageant contestant.

I'm pretty sure I have punk rock t-shirts older than her. Hell, one of my leather jackets is almost as old as her for sure.

Great... her music sucks and she makes me feel old. Bitch.

Don't care if she fits the "punk" lifestyle anymore (if she ever really did). I just want bang her like a screen door in a hurricane (yes, that's my favorite saying).

She is about as punk as George Michael is heterosexual.

Her career is just about over. The only thing that can revive it is if she starts doing porn.

Avril: I want to be the Sid Vicious of my generation.

John Lydon: Good. Maybe you'll die, then.

she's right about one thing she is the sid viscious of our generation
Sid Viscious couldn't sing, he couldn't play and was a product of good marketing..... so I would say she was spot on
