Finally, the Warped Tour has a comeback year! As an avid attendee since 1997, I saw the tour peak in 1998 and go steadily downhill since then. Last year was pretty lackluster, as well [you can read my review of last year's tour stop here], but as the bands for this year were slowly announced, I grew more and more excited. I hadn't been excited about Warped in a long time. Let's see how my anticipation paid off. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments.

Warped tour 2003 in Chicago was awesome! it kicked major ass! Mest was great you should check em out I'm a Mest crapphead so I have to spread the word. Wow I love Rancid they had a ton of energy and really got the moshpitt going. Although it was most of the time. Wow I really say to everyone that most all of the bands were awesome and your should go its way worth it! I got wasted and had fun! The bands were great! So you should go I rate this a 10! Warped Tour, like sites like this, show once again that punk is either dead or in hiding. Warped Tour was the breeding grounds for ignorance and rats(both varieties). The music just played on the sheep that attended: "We are so punk!" How can anyone call that anything but pitiful is beyond me. Too bad people wasted good money on that rather than supporting homeless children in third world countries. Kudos. cawknocker, the pittsburg scene sounds totally fucked up. At the Boston date when J5 played they were getting all kinds of cheers and whatnot. especially Chali2na... or however you spell his name. The one with the real low voice. I was definitley impressed. I wish Black Eyed Peas had played that date too but they had already finished up their part of the tour. Kool Keith is another hip hop act that kicked ass on Warped. Man that guy is fucking funny and an incredible performer... He put on a great fucking show. His album Matthew is kick ass too... I suggest if you like real, respectable rap you check that out.-pat41 yea, but by the time papa roach hit pittsburgh they had a hit and people hated em here. boos, debris, etc. they were on right B4 nofx. brilliant right? a buncha antsy nofx fans and proach playing b4 them.yea i remember eminem, he was gone by the time it came to pittsburgh, one o f the last warped dates always..sevendust was another crappy warped act. and d12. but not all the non punk/punk type music acts are bad, as i said in my previous posts. Yep. He was the reason Vancouver didn't have a warped tour for the last 2 years, as he had to leave the stage because of all the debris being thrown at him, along with the chorus of boos. Wasn't Eminem on the warped tour in '98 or '99? and there has always been non punk acts at warped for any dorky kid who thinks there hasnt been. sublime and 311 were on the first warped tour. limp bizkit (ok they suck, just making a point) was on 97 b4 they ever had a hit.oh yea, the other J5 singles were 'the influence' and 'jurass finish first'...i think. word! refreshing bros! i was ready to get shit on for liking a hip hop act! i posted that intentionally. fuck yea J5 are great. i saw them at warped and was like...holy fuck...tight harmonizing, great lyrics, awesome cd. black eyed peas, morgan heritage, 311, deftones are a few other great non-punk acts that have been at warped....not to mention warped tour 96 that had sublime on it. punk is just one shade of music, my favorite, but so many think its the only valid musical form. i remember people booing J5 and couldnt help thinking that the pittsburgh punk scene is racist. i mean shit. how can u not at least respect their hip hop as talented, whether u like it or not. Yea most people on here dont want to hear "its gottin hot in herre so take off all your clothes". But if you went out into the real world I am willing to bet at least 60-70% of teenagers in this country would say they like that kind of stuff. Jurrassic 5 was popular for like a week or 2. They hit number one on Direct FX for about a week straight.... yes I watched Direct FX a couple of times. Jurrassic 5 was on and they are in my top 5 groups/bands right now. That song Quality Control was there "hit". They had a couple others, 1 or 2 but thats about it. You cant say they arent big because compared to most groups in the music scene they are very big. Platinum album I believe. jurassic 5 is one of the most talented rap groups i've ever heard in my life. I just don't understand why they're not big..I mean..they're more worth listening to than that "give me a lap dance..let's get naked" bullshit. not everybody wants to hear that crap. u guys can enjoy other styles of music right...HAHA, at this site... its hard getting these people to enjoy another brand of toilet paper nevermind something that strays from the category of super punk. Jurrassic 5 kicks a hell of a lot of ass... Black Eyed Peas too!-pat41 -------------------------------------------------- if it's corporate who cares. u do realize that all labels are a capitalist venture right? even fuled by ramen, or asian man or deep elm. just enjoy warped for the oppurtunity it is...to see great punk bands from all shades of the genre, and maybe something else, like reggae or a solid hiphop act like jurassic 5....u guys can enjoy other styles of music right... any cocksucker that says warped tour is a 'corporate festival' or any other corporate cliche is a fuckin idiot. like the singer to bigwig said at the ltj show in pittsburgh saturday to a kid in the crowd.."THE WARPED TOUR'S CORPORATE? OH I BET THAT KID NEVER DRANK A COKE IN HIS LIFE RIGHT? OR WEARS NAMEBRAND CLOTHING OR SHOES....YOUR A DORK KID, WARPED IS FUN IF NOTHING ELSE....FUCK ME? I'M RIGHT HERE.....SHUUUUUT UP" what pisses me off is that the unseen played at 12:15, and i got in at 12:30.... I want to mention again how badass the Deviants and Boy Sets Fire were. They were almost as good as the mighty Bad Religion. obviously you people have no lives to just sit here, read reviews, and shit all over it. there's people here who actually enjoy this stuff so if you hate all of it so much...why do you waste your time all day sitting in front of the computer and saying how horrible everything is For all you lucky bastards going to a Warped Date that Andrew WK is playing.. damn you. i shouted somthing similiar to the "homegrown should grow some testicles" back in April when they opened for Millencolin... there was a deathly quiet in the metro, so i shout out, "let you testes drop then learn to sing, fucker" i really wanted to write something good Warped Tour has become a corporate "punk" (doesn't really exist anymore unfortuanately) festival with pop bands. Warped last year sucked. This years was better. I'd think about writing a review but there were really only three bands i REALLY wanted to see.. the rest i'd seen before or was just indifferent about. Too bad you missed No Use, Scott, they rocked out very nicely! Thats what you get for showing up at 1:30... haha. Your show too huh? What the goddamn hell was the deal with NUFAN playing before 2? My goddamned ticket said the show started at 2 and when I got there they'd already played. Sonsabitches... How could anymone listen to OZMA? That shit is WEAK. If I wanted to be a carbon wannabe copy a band, I sure wouldn't choose WEEZER. This band sucks so bad its almost laughable. i thouht the warped tour had somewhat of a comeback this year. good bands = anti-flag, thursday, hwm, nufan, lagwagon, flogging, and brthe laggers were my fav, shoulda seen um scott What a shitty tour, they should call it instead of "warped tour" the "conservative pussy bands" tour, because that is what it is. Just a bunch of pop bands that sound exactly the same. Bad Religion and Death By Stereo are the only good bands there. comeback year? nothing can top last years lineup... nothing Alkaline Trio, HWM, and Ozma are the only respectable bands on this whole damn tour. It makes you wonder how they got caught up in this mess. I just got back from the Atlanta show. Much better line-up than DC's. Death By Stereo is gonna kick ass. Generic cock rock, what the fuck man, shit |
