Other than Miss May I, this is going to suck HUGE dick….. it is like last years which was loaded with shitty bands then Parkway Drive…. wtf
I’m not interested in any of the new 6, but I’ll check-out Dance Gavin Dance,
Enter Shikari, Miss May I, Of Mice & Men, The Word Alive, We Came As Romans, Winds Of Plague, and Woe, Is Me pending who is playing at what time, of course.
This may be the first Warped Tour I actively don’t bother trying to go see.
Set Your Goals and Winds of Plague. Everything else, worthless.
This bill is missing DECENT bands like Alkaline Trio, Thrice, Poison the Well (please come back), Every Time I Die, Deftones, Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge (not sure they’ve even played Warped before?), The Bronx etc. The majority of the above bands are all missing a set of the ol’ proverbial balls. Wow…I’m such a tough guy. Ha!
I hope none of the bands surly mentions come on warp. I hate the warped tour it’s over by what 4 o’clock all 2 or 3 good bands play at the same time and olny or what 20 minutes? Foxy is sorta cool tho.
Dillinger was he only reason I went last year. They played to about 50 kids who tore shit apart. It was amazing.
Foxy Shazam’s new album is decent, I don’t mind OM&M and Enter Shikari are pretty awesome, but no I definitely will not be going to warped tour. I just can’t stand all the adolescent kids with make up, namely the guys. If Converge/Every Time I Die/DEP were on this bill I would pay full price, and Poison the Well of course but they are probably my favorite band of all time. That was one of the greatest tour’s I have ever been to, London Forum Poison the Well / DEP Co headlining with some crazy Italian saxophone hardcore band opening, it was fucking wild.
Alkaline Trio, ETID, and DEP were all on it last year (I caught them all, ETID and AK3 twice). I don’t see Deftones ever playing WT, but I would love to see Thrice again – but I don’t think a half hour does them justice, whereas that’s more than enough for a lot of bands.
A little history lesson, adam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYmnoULZcAI
Yeah, so they played 13 years ago – doesn’t mean they’d play today. So did Kid Rock, Sevendust, Incubus, etc.
@Surly
Though I usually forego profanity in my comments, your comments do seem to require them:
Fucking spot on mate.
adam, it’s a moot point. They have played Warped before. They may well play Warped again. Who the hell knows? They seem to be playing most other festivals. I’ve never seen them more active. They’re also versatile enough to slot into most demographics and ‘scenes’. Kevin Lyman would be doing himself a favor considering his fubar decision in the past to invite bands like Brokencyde and The Millionaires onto the tour.
Warped Tour used to be my highlight of summer tours. Now I am stuck between two thoughts; they are really shitty now, or I am really old.
Crazy thing is Surly, is that guarantee a lot of venues in the US were 21+ the first couple of years of the warped tour, I mean look at that crowd, it’s fucking awesome. Now everyone is afraid to get sweaty, jump around and act like a douche, or just slamdance / pit / throwdown, it’s a fucking crying shame. Their hair will get messed up, make up will run etc…
PS Incubus were amazing, adam your gay
if this was facebook id like that 2nd to last comment bty what happened to when kids used to ask people older to buy beers at concerts and smoked joints in venues? i remeber getting HAMMERED @ 15 in shows, buying my own beer at that age when watching KANSAS was awesome, so was passing out under a soundtable for sevendust and ill nino
