===Warped Tour controversy=== In the summer of 2004, Guttermouth embarked on the Vans [[Warped Tour]], playing on the [[Volcom]] side stage. In keeping with their reputation for outrageous and offensive behavior, Adkins would often openly insult other acts from onstage, declaring that bands such as [[Simple Plan]] and [[My Chemical Romance]] cared more about their fashionable clothing and popularity than about the quality of their music. The band members also mocked what they saw as an uninformed political display of many bands on the tour by selling T-shirts and displaying banners that jokingly proclaimed support for President [[George W. Bush]] (many of the bands and media booths supported an anti-[[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] stance in the months leading up to the [[2004 United States presidential election|2004 presidential election]]). After several weeks on the tour Guttermouth was "politely" asked to leave, fueling rumors that other performers had petitioned to have them ejected.<ref name="white"/> Eventually, however, Adkins issued a statement apologizing to Warped Tour manager [[Kevin Lyman]] and admitting that the band had left the tour voluntarily, due in part to his distaste for the political atmosphere surrounding it.<ref name="ankeny"/>
