[img=092511_lola94.jpg]Fans on Facebook are banding together to ask Bad Religion, The Offspring, Green Day and Rancid to do a tour together, dubbed "The Big 4 of '90s Punk Rock" tour.

Their reasoning? Facebook page says,
The goal is to recruit as many members to the you-know-what as possible in order to get all those bands to listen to what we have to say. We want old school punk back. We would love to see this touring lineup record any live concert for a DVD just like Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer did. Another goal is to get the four back together and save punk once again.


Noble cause, I suppose. Just to make sure everyone is aware, none of the bands have agreed to anything like this. We don't really know what Green Day's plans are over the next year or when they plan to tour again. I just decided to post this because I think it's kind of a cool idea and I know some people would be really excited to see it happen.

So while I don't think it's terribly likely to happen, you guys should join the Facebook group if you'd like and be part of the discussion there. There's also a discussion going on in our forum if you're interested.

Here's an article from Ultimate Guitar.com about the group, and another from Rockaaa.com.
