If the economy sucks so much, how did several financial institutions afford to pay out record bonuses this year, huh?

So here's something to totally up my cred. I actually caught some of Aiden at Warped Tour this year (how'm I doin'?) and they're really trying to rework their image. The singer was trying to look like Wolverine in a shredded white t-shirt. That isn't to say they're good but they're certainly trying to stray from the "make up and glam" image they used to have.

Isnt that the band that had the promo shot in which one member looks strangely similar to the victory bulldog?

I saw American Steel last night. They spent most of the time inbetween songs frankly informing us about how shit All American Rejects and the tour are.

Was an awesome show, Apologies, I have none opened and played a pretty solid set too. Am steel played the best tunes off the new album, a fair bit of Rouges march and Destroy. Didn't play rotting though which was dissapointed, would have been a fun tune. Encore was Mean Streak.

Someone who was there too want to post a setlist?

Seems like a very odd line up.

Political Punk / Eyeliner EmoWhatever / LongHair MetalGuys / Neon Pop

Strange.

Anti-Flag - Stupid music with stupid lyrics for stupid people.

Aiden - Halloweencore. Nuff said.

Cancer Bats - I don't exactly DESPISE them, but I'd much rather listen to the Bronx or ETID.

Fireworks - Oh look, it's another Set Your Goals/ Four Year Strong but somehow even worse.

I really like the idea of the "something for everyone" style tour. That being said, I don't see me attending. I liked the new AF. Aiden is lame as fuck. Never listened to Cancer Bats, but am curious. Fireworks is pretty good. Nothing great, fun hooks. They want to be NFG sooooo bad though.

Surprisingly not awful. Reminds me of art of drowning AFI mixed with Bad Religion. They were a young band back then, it's too bad they decided to take the popular root.
