Shit is going to go down hard here, I bet.

yeah wow, this is bad, especially given how much they said they'd never do it again after last time.

and I assume all of you know who I mean by 'they"

The addition of AM makes this warped tour instantly better than last years no matter what happens from here. Not that it says alot, but still.... Last years's lineup may have finally been the nail in the coffin for me.

why would they do it again? i hope propagandhi makes the line up.

This board's about to become a shit storm.

I can't see the Bronx lasting past a week. They rock too hard for the little teeny boppers and military recruiters and Spam salespeople.

even if there are a couple of good bands, spending a whole day to see a good band play for a half hour, all the while having to deal with 12 year olds and pay way too much for a hot dog just doesn't seem worth it. unless i take acid. then, maybe...

The Bronx? no shit?..

They could go on a headlining tour that would be a million times better.

I hear this year's Vans Warped Tour is going green, I guess they heard that money grows on trees. hope they ship all those shitty bands overseas like they did the factories...

Well, they're batting .500 so far. They keep this up and I might have to make a return appearance.

Meryl Streep is such a fuckin hottie. I hope she gets naked onstage and stagedives into us moshers hands! woot 2008!

do the guys in AM! own homes? if they do, what's the point? they would be wise to invest in Holiday Inn or Hilton.

it's burning and it's burning, it's burning,
a fire inside that i just don't believe
some call it anger, some say frustration
but i think i call this big greed
this time the circus has left without us
and we could run away
the fringe is the center now,
hey boys that's great

when i woke up in hawthorne,
i took ocean down to the fairground to see everyone
so beautiful that i drown in the waves of the haircuts
spin kicks and jumps
well i got my bottled water and my nachos,
it came in under twenty bucks
i got this bad taste in the back of my mouth
from my time on the back of a bus

this summer vacation, it's cheap and it's true
it's ideals are intact, it's the best we can do
this time you turn into your own enemy
not sell outs but dictated economies

(whoo!)

these thieves, these thieves in their flip-flops and bro attitudes
are the very reason we do what we do
when i say fuck the man, it's what i believe
no matter who that man happens to be.

this kevin or that one, it all seems the same
exploit the avenues, fix all the gains
maybe they'll buy everything that you sell
but i'm outside these fences,
rolling fast down that hill...

for your empty tale
mother fucker!

if the Bronx & Against Me! played a regular tour togther I might actually pay to see AM! again because The Bronx would likely melt all the annoying people that listen to AM! for the catchy chunes yo.

I posted before, but here it is again, anybody going to the Action Patrol reunion in Richmond on saturday? After all the love of Inquisition, I'm surprised there hasn't been a peep about this one.

Im getting sick of against me! already, I dont care about the label bs but the fact that they keep having on shitty tours is starting to tick me off.

-juliO!

As long as they keep moving down the AM! Bronx line this might actually be a tour worth seeing.

I bet Against Me! are still gonna play The Ocean even though they only have 30 minutes.

Does anybody think its even remotely probable that Pat Sajak and Vann White have not boned once?

Hot ladies go to warped tour. Sign me up and take my pants!

in the words of some drunk:

Well, I don't really want to get into my aesthetic opinions of the bands or the tour, but I feel very strongly that the Warped Tour is no good for other reasons. See, there used to be this really great thing that happened every summer. All the big bands would gather up some cool support bands and hit the road and play club shows. Now, you figure at any given time there are maybe thirty big punk rock bands, each of those bands are taking two or three smaller bands on tour and playing in clubs. So, that's (approximately) ninety bands that have cool tours, and thirty shows that support clubs and thirty nights for kids in various towns to have something cool to do. Now, all those big bands just play the warped tour. It's one day, and it's in some stupid fairground. As a result, small clubs are shutting down, small bands are forced to either play warped tour (which totally sucks. Try driving all night, and standing in the sun all day only to play some shitty outdoor stage to ten kids for no money while rancid plays 100 feet away…) or do a small headlining tour that's competing with the warped tour. That blows. Now, I'm not even trying to bitch overtly about the fact that warped tour is a big stupid corporate event and everything's expensive and the bands on it tend to suck. I'm more pissed that this goliath posing as the 'ultimate manifestation of punk rock' is completely dismantling the DIY economy and no one seems to care. These fucking bands who could do something about it are lazy or scared or both and it drives me nuts. People say things like "oh, it's like punk rock summercamp" or 'It's great to be able to sell so much merch and only play for half an hour." Fuck all that. The warped tour sucks and I don't give a shit how many of your friends are on it or how fucking little you have to work in order to get paid. Chances are, if you're in a big punk rock band you got into this with at least an inkling of a feeling that doing something that can completely thrive in an alternative, underground economy was pretty cool, and now, they're sitting on their busses letting all that be destroyed…actively participating in destroying it even! And the reasons for doing it are so fucking shallow. I mean, my shitty little band tours up against the warped tour every summer, so I'd assume that any band could. They're just complacent and until more people start realizing how completely shitty the whole thing is, it's not going to go away. It's just gonna get worse.

i think kelly has it right...while i used to like against me, and im still a fan of the 90's skate punk acts that occasionally poke their heads out for a few warped tour dates, as a whole the tour is complete garbage...as rollins and shatner would say, "i cant get behind that!!"

This tour is shaping up to be pretty damn crappy, again...

Man, The Bronx (II) is fucking good.

AM! will be awesome..but the crowd for them will be insane..however, as long as the stomp/union stage is at the barrie date, i will be happy as a f%*^$ing clam!

Will anyone here go if they added Rise Against, Anti-Flag, Nofx, Bouncing Souls,Millencolin,
No Use For A Name, Bad Religion, Pennywise,The Swellers, The Swellers, and more
skate punk bands?

I used to like the warped tour. I went to it two years straight. I used to think, yeah this is cool, all these bands get together in one place and maybe some fashion headed kid will become turned onto punk after seeing a band like Against Me or The Unseen or something. Now I have realized the whole fest revolves around money and really doesn't represent anything about punk (the recycling tent is cool I guess). I will never go to a Warped Tour again unless Minor Threat, the original Misfits, or some other ridiculous old school band who I will never have a chance to see perform live are playing. I wonder if there has ever been a protest outside of the Warped Tour. Sounds like a good idea to me. My memories of warped tour will forever be Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Far from Finished, NOFX (just to see how shitty they really are when they play), and The Offspring. All bands I have only seen once (except far from finished) and bands that I will probably never see again (not that I really want to).

As much as I love Against Me! I still won't go to Warped Tour. It seems boring and completely absurd. Go to a massive show with a ton of stupid kids in the hot sun to see a thirty minute set while buying 6 dollar water. Sounds like FUN!

Alriiiiiiiiight! I'll go for AM and the Bronx, don't give a shit about the other two.

It was kind of fun to see Against Me at Lollapalooza because nobody knew who they were so they had to win everyone over all over again. I can't imagine their half hour outdoor set when you're 200 yards away and there's a billion people there. This will be the first time they've come through Chicago and I haven't seen them in about four years. That includes seeing them twice last week.

Seriously? "The Devil Wears Prada"? Somebody seriously fucking named their band that? Like, for serious?

I`m actually speechless. That is downright pathetic.

No "weight loss" comment yet? Weird.

I just want to say this, I have never been to a Warped Tour, and I take pride in that.

The fact that Against Me is playing is kind of depressing, since you know, they are complete chach-skis for selling out (not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but for an outspoken, nu-speak, politico punk outfit like them, they pretty much diminished themselves to a mere punky Pete Went with their recent record, and I think most can agree with that). Also, The Devil Wears Prada can blow me. Seriously. It's sickening to see these guys and bands like Boys Lik Girls play at something that has set grounds for bands like NOFX, The Unseen, Bad Religion, and many many more bands who are way more credible.

But the Bronx is sweet...

Yeah, I made this comment only to bash Against Me! and say the Bronx is sweet.

It's an off day, what can I say?

Fuck Warped Tour.

-Mike.

As usual, 16-year-old girls are psyched. Shitty ones, not cool ones like me a year ago.

I've never been to a Warped Tour, and every year it looks less and less like I'll ever want to.

well, 2003(i think) was the last warped i went to. it was pretty decent excluding good charlotte,311, and alien ant farm. hell, me first, bouncing souls,h20,rancid, ect. i saw so many good bands in years prior to that one as well. VGS, hot water music, snapcase, bosstones, good riddance, no use, deviates,one man army, flogging molly, nofx, bad religion, the list goes on and on.

now we have the Devil wears Prada, whom you would have to PAY ME 30 bucks to listen to. it such a short time this tour has gone from the shit to shit.

ps, i've never heard Against Me

i'll go for am!, even though i know i'll be disappointed again. and perhaps i'll see the bronx, as well. but nobody gives a shit about the other two.

i'm 26 and after a shitty breakup went from 181 to 166 pounds. i've stopped losing weight but i am still a little flabby. how can i harden up my mid section. crunches seem to be working only real slow and really it's not that much. i drink a lot of beer. is my only option to quit all the booze. i do lots of running. 4 miles 5 times a week. any suggestions on how to stop this plateau i've hit and get a little more hard/lean?
