Published on August 8th 2003
Warped Tour in Cleveland sold out two days before taking place this year, and it sure showed. The scene in Cleveland is pretty strong to begin with, but for this years event, everyone and their mother's came out to see the likes of some great bands, good bands, Simple Plan and the All American Rejects.

i fell asleep on the back fence during the brand new show. i probably would still have fallen asleep even if they werent playing acoustic though. I did not mean to imply that The Transplants were hip hop...Let me re-state my point: The transplants are NOT hip hop I was in Cleveland and I thought overall it was a good Warped Tour year. I'm glad I don't go to shows with this reviewer, ugh. I wrote the review... After seeing that the Cleveland Warped Tour was reviewed on this site I was a little bit excited, but after reading the write up I am very dissappointed this person even submitted it. S.T.U.N. was the easily the best in Cleveland I was at the Cleveland and Pittsburgh shoe and got to see Brand New. Ive been a longtime fan and have seen them many times before. I thought BOTH sets were awesome. How often do you get to see Brand New jam like that in an acoustic set. The next night they rocked out like they always do. Vin was totally crazy and i love it. Kudos to Jesse for playing with the hurt leg...it was still great. The Pittsburgh set was one of the best ive seen them play... I was at Warped in Cleveland this year... "Hey, did anyone see the "Code of tha Cutz" stage at the Cleveland warped? It was off to the side, and it featured all rappers. I saw a black and white duo rap to the gorillaz beat, i watched it for a minute, and had to leave because I was laughing too hard. Terrible. That is all." now i cant belive there is one person who said somthin about rise against i think they were the most energetic band there SM a second and pennywise a close third The biggest laugh about the communist booth is that they sell stuff. I honestly believe that the idiots running those kinda booths truly don't even understand what they are trying to propagate. I remember the first tour in clevo. the parkinglot show. second one ruled too at the agora. clevo's scene fell apart in the mid-late 90s. The scene in Cleveland is not good. It is piss poor. Everyone is an elitist. i didn't understand the communist booth, or the half a dozen different places with bob marley shit. to each their own i guess. but what good is converting 14 year old simple plan fans to communism? Hey, did anyone see the "Code of tha Cutz" stage at the Cleveland warped? It was off to the side, and it featured all rappers. I saw a black and white duo rap to the gorillaz beat, i watched it for a minute, and had to leave because I was laughing too hard. Terrible. That is all. Cleveland show kicked ass. GJ ruled the day for sure. The Suicide Machines rocked so fucking hard and Rancid was just, wow. I've been waiting to see them for a very long time, worth the wait. I went to the Pittsburgh show. i went to the pittsburgh show. i cant believe no one has even mentioned coheed and cambria yet..they were, by far, the best performance in cleveland. They played the maurice stage to a decent sized crowd, but they blew away all the other bands there. MCS was the best band @ the Detroit show !!!! a big reason the crowd was poor for MCS in Cleveland was that they were having problems with times, and they fucked with the times of many bands on the smaller stages yeah, MCS had a very large and enthusiastic crowd in milwaukee too...thats odd my score goes to the guy who saw the big d set, i was there too, best band of the day MCS only played to about 30 people?? At the Detroit show, things were insane. Their crowd was one of the largest for a small stage all day and the energy was great. They are definitely getting pretty big around here. Is that how it is elsewhere? I was dumb enough to shell out money for both cleveland and buffalo warped tours two days apart, and I have to say that it's amazing how some bands are so different day by day on the tour, and how others are the same damn thing. The Maurice stage at the Charlotte Warped was also placed about as poorly as one could imagine. It was on a hill so the stage looked downhill, basically meaning that if you weren't in the first 10 rows you couldn't see the stage because the incline meant everybody ahead of you got taller and taller as it went on. Basically, you had to sit on another hill behind the sidewalk and over 100 feet from the stage if you wanted to see anything. ya the whole main walk where the volcom and maurice stages were was always jammed because it was so narrow (and a lot of the more popular bands had their tents set up there). that got really obnoxious. I would like to also add that whoever decided to put the Maurice Stage where they did should be fired...... Trying to enjoy Tsunami Bomb while 13 year old girls are trying to get to Simple Plan and trying to get to the main stage while the whole road is blocked by All American Reject fans was more than slightly annoying. Oh to the kids that were sitting down in the middle of said area, Fuck you! technical songs != good songs Motion City Soundtrack also played really well to an unenthusiastic crowd of about 30 people on the Volcom Stage. "Thrice followed Simple Plan to deliver a rather lackluster set. The bassist was sitting because he was sick, but the rest of the band had no excuse for standing as still as they did." That song that you said Skinhead Rob ruined, was called Red Hot Moon, and yes, he actually sings on the album. Poor you for not having diverse tastes. oh and for all the shit they get i thought the used actually had a decent show. last time i saw them i was insulted for what they passed as a live show but i was pleasantly surprised this time around. letter kills put on one of the best shows of the day in front of about 25 people. tsunami bomb was pretty good, too. |
