Bladewillisisdead Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Seems like last year was the end of good Warped Tour lineups... I had to creep your profile to confirm that you were 18. Cause yeah, this is pretty much what everyone says when they turn 18. smeepo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The last good line up was 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeepo Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 My understanding of most of those bands is that they are. Shitcore: Attila, Issues, Beartooth, The Word Alive, The Devil Wears Prada, Secrets, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Motionless in White, etc... Teeny pop: Mayday Parade, Anberlin, The Maine, Breathe Carolina, etc... Clearly there's a discrepancy between our definitions of the genre.

kurtz Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I can count on one hand the number of bands I have even heard of that have been listed so far. Used to love going to this in the early 00's. I think '04 was the last year I went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with what you're saying. Yes wtf is a shitcore Based on the bands I listed, it's self explanatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I guess I've matured past calling bands "shitcore" to me there are hardcore bands and there are bands well that don't play hardcore. Crazy I know but you'll get it eventually. WastedL1ght, NoFxpunkguy, jhook and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoosen Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Its all relative to when people think the last *good* warped tour was. for those who were teens in the 90s then yeah 98-99-00 were the last good ones. for me I thought the best ones were in 04-05. but I did go last year and enjoyed myself. for people who are teens now they may think these are the best and the ones we went to previously cannot live up to what they are going to now. its all relative. with all that being said, I just looked at the lineup for this years and I was suprised to see 6 or 7 bands I wouldnt mine seeing.

Brock N Roll Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Every year, its the same thing with people bitching about "how its not as good as it used to be" or "I'm too old to go to warped tour" and blah blah blah I'm 28. I've gone every year since 02 and I have fun every single year. Even on the years that may only have 2-3 bands that I'm really into, I still discover probably 2-3 bands that I've never heard of and to me that's what warped is about. It seems like the cool thing to do now is bash the tour because its not "punk" enough or whatever. News flash people....there's shitty bands on it every year. Always has been and always will.

lonesomexloveus Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 i am really just not keen on standing around all day in the heat paying way too much for food and drink, getting jostled by ding bat high schoolers. this goes for all musical festivals, not just warped tour. i am old.

NoFxpunkguy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 so far 5 bands i wanna see and im sure a few others will be announced that i like. I have been to every warped tour since 99 that has came this way. It always cracks me up that people bash this tour non stop. sure its not all 90's skate punk bands but thats not whats popular now. Why would Kevin book those bands? I'm glad im not closed minded with music and stuck to 1 genre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverstein fits in there somewhere. The last good line up was 1998. I went in 2009 and saw Streetlight Manifesto, Bad Religion, NOFX, Big D, and Less Than Jake. While I was really there for the former three bands, It was a solid lineup. I would have rather had somebody more exciting than LTJ but not the end of the world.

Why would Kevin book those bands? I'm glad im not closed minded with music and stuck to 1 genre It was always my understanding that the Warped Tour was not about catering to what's "popular" - when was skate/street punk really, actually popular? Sure, Punk in Drublic sold 500,000 copies and Bad Religion/Epitaph cashed in (say what you want) but it never saw the success of grunge and alt-rock in the 90s. I saw it as booking music that was good. These guys - Bring Me the Horizon or whatever shitcore bands are playing - can be the most popular bands in the world, but that won't make their music any better. I don't think you should dismiss us as being close-minded because the Warped Tour is straying from what we interpreted as its focus. I don't think I am or am being close-minded at all; my taste in music is pretty varied, I just don't want to see the Warped Tour becoming part of the shitcore scene. That being said, if one or two good bands get announced (especially NOFX), then I'll be eating my words and buying a ticket to the Warped Tour. So I'm just a big shithead anyway, and who cares? It is all relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Even in the 90s Warped Tour would have some bands that catered to current trends. I know Kid Rock, Godsmack, Staind, Papa Roach, Eminem, The Black Eyed Peas, Sevendust, Sugar Ray, and Limp Bizkit all played Warped Tour in the 90s. I'm sure there were other nu-metal or pop-rock bands as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Silverstein fits in there somewhere. Might as well bash on every band that played Warped Tour from 2004 to 2006... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthemforadoomed Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Might as well bash on every band that played Warped Tour from 2004 to 2006... I mean I wasn't interested in Warped then either... so that's fine with me? I will say though, I've always loved The Matches. Their first two records were so good and I regret not going to any Warped Tour that they were on even if they were the only good band there. From all the videos I've seen and the stories I've heard they put on a hell of a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 This tour brings in bands that make money, in my hayday it was all Fat/Epitaph bands, now its these weird moshy bands. Kevin has to make cash to keep it going. NoFxpunkguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'll be 100% satisfied with Warped Tour again when they announce From Autumn to Ashes is back from hiatus and touring all summer. Until then, it remains fractional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The word alive put on a real good show but I don't listen to them. I've seen The Word Alive a couple times and I've always enjoyed them. I'm a big Luke Holland fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
