My Score:

Punk is not about being stupid, getting drunk, and destroying shit for no reason. It is about working together towards a better world, one free of idiots like George W. Bush. If you want commit random acts of meaningless destruction and get thrown out of shows, feel free, but stay the hell out of our scene.

Warped Tour was the single best experience of my life (sad, huh?) Anti-flag is now my favorite band, thanks to that awesome show they put on. And yes, Warped Tour is for everyone, but you are obviously going to be picked on by a few people if you go and see bands like Taking Back Sunday. And just so you know, there was some ska. A band called Stole Your Woman, on one of the sponsored stages. Very good.

Personally I loved Warped in Vancouver this year. If you didn't you don't deserve to go. So leave. Now. Aaaanyway...Your review was pretty good. But the only band I really went to see was NOFX, and they kinda sucked this year. Not really though. I mean they were singing awesome (well, for them) and stuff but they did NOT play enough songs. They had the biggest crowd and pretty much the shortest time. And that just sucks...GO NOFX!!! Oi, ok, bye.

I just went to the Warped Tour in Denver, and it amazes me what it has evolved into. There are more companies promoting their bullshit than there are good bands. I was talking with Kate and Greg from the Souls and they were saying how its not fun to do meet-and-greats anymore, because 80% of the kids don't even know who they are, they just jump in line to get an autograph. I have no problem paying 30 bucks to see NOFX, Bad Religion, Anti-Flag, Bouncing Souls and the Vandals on the same day. Its just the enviornment of the place is just fucking weird. Its either pay 5 dollars for a water or some 21 year old ranting about "Fuck Bush!." Granted the guy is a fuckin moron, but nothing is going to be solved in America for years, no matter who is president. Brainwash 14 year-old kids because they buy your pre-packeged music and t-shirts. I apologize for rambaling. Just every reason I was drawn to the scene 6 years ago has been reversed. Warped tour has evolved to look more like a day at the "punk scene" mall.
All well: Vans, Samsung, Cingular, Miller-Lite, and Sony don't give a fuck because they already walked away with my 30 dollars.

wow I guess you guys sure put me in my place - you know I've never claimed to be punker or any bullshit like that - each generation has their own meaning of punk - to each their own - If you guys are too fucking stupid to understand what satire is than you must really have a big stick up your ass and are in need of a serious donkey punch. Get a sense of humor you fucking ass clowns you take shit to serious and literal. I honestly feel sorry for you if you can't read a post like mine and laugh a little and respond with some equaly inane response. Even if you don't find it funny than fucking ignore it or come back with something more inane.

Yes warped tour is commercialized but fuck I never get to see NOFX, Rise Against and Atmosphere.
T-shirts are cheaper at warped tour than in "skate shops" and by buying those shirts I support bands and their families.
Punk is just a label, it has no meaning now.
My jokes are fucking lame, I'm never serious, except when it comes to opinions.
I don't wear studded belts or any of that bullshit, I don't believe in being judged by my appearence in a society that was taught not to.
Watch Farenheit 911.

Bryan Adams, Celine Dion and Avril were never actually that big in Canada until they hit it big worldwide. If you want to start an argument like that, don't even get me started on all the shitty american bands. Every country has their fair share of crap. Get over it.

I went to this warped and the one in Vegas, and I've got to ask, is it just me or are the girls at warped tour gettting less and less hot every year?
Also, I paid $12 bucks to see this in Vegas, and $50 to see it in Canada. I guess sometimes it does suck to be canadian...

first of all, i'm 20 and educated, and second of all, kiss my ass and call it ice cream. Seriously there is way too much division amongst the "punk" community... nobody seems to agree on what punk is nowadays, it leads to stupid arguments like this. Who gives a crap how well I wrote this review or what bands I like, obviously we don't share the same tastes. So if you want to judge me on what music I like here's your chance (in no particular order): Strung Out, NOFX, Bad Religion, Green Day, Operation Ivy, Rancid, Millencolin, Bouncing Souls, Pennywise, The Clash, Minor Threat, Local H, Incubus, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Doors, Suicide Machines, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, The Offspring, Del Tha Funkee Homosapian, Warsawpack, Against All Authority, Rise Against, Anti-Flag, Mad Caddies, Lagwagon, Swingin' Utters, Bad Religion, 98 Mute, Bigwig, Beatsteaks, Beastie Boys, Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, Morning Glory, Fugazi, The Slackers, Transplants, Hot Water Music, Kid Dynamite, None More Black, The Ramones, Matthew Good Band, Pixies, Propagandhi, Refused, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rx Bandits, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Sublime, The Lawerence Arms, The Police

So thats just a few to name, I guess I have no taste in music and have no idea what I'm talking about.

On another note, I was also in Vancouver, livin it up groupie style!!! YEah, the souls weren't drunk, but bryan was ripped as shit, courtesy of yours truly...

And I think some shit happened during the bad religion show cuz i was back stage and greg (graffin) just booked it to his trailer before the band even stopped playing, and fat mike spazed (typically) and made everyone get off stage. Also, their set in Calgary was longer... HOwever, I must also mention that I was totally fried while all of this was going on.

My Score:

Since you missed all those hurting emo bands, I'll give a once over..

Taking Back Sunday played a decent set, however it seemed that they made their songs more "jammish" or "artsy" or something, and I could only really break it down to their last song (cute from the team or whatever).

Alkaline Trio played good. The two times I say them before they kind of.. sucked.. and I'm a big fan.. the only two asian man songs they played where maybe I'll catch fire, and my friend peter, but since I never heard my friend peter live before, that fucking ruled.

Thursday had an energetic set, but I could really not get into it knowing that NOFX was next. I'm not a giant fan, so I couldn't recognize all of their songs, but they mentioned they played old shit, and talking to the crowd about the good stuff (free downloading, anti-sexism and whatnot).

Bad Religion was a disappointment. Their set was 22 minutes long and they were the last band. The Vandals took atleast 45 minutes, and Bad Religion stops at fucking 905. They also didn't play Do What You Want, or Fuck Armageddon (my favourite BR songs in a pit). The ended with Sorrow which I hate as an ending song, they should've played something so everyone could just fuckign explode with all the energy they play in the pit.. like No Control or something.

NOFX's set was slightly reminescient of their Seattle show at the end of March. Those "rare" songs they played were the same "rare" songs they played there.

I'm not sure if this was at all places, but there was Warped Tour "funny bucks" that you needed to buy anything. Basically, they made it so you had to wait in a giant line up to be able to buy shit, so you'd buy more than you need to not have to go in it again. The food was ridiculously priced, and they took away your bottle cap when they gave you bottled Dasani, or Coca-Cola. I never felt more like a corporate whore than at Warped Tour.
