Warped Tour 2008
 

Who is going?

I will be going to the Toronto date, which is apparently now at "The Flats at Arrow Hall".

Plan to see:
A Day To Remember
Alesana
Anberlin
Angels and Airwaves
Evergreen Terrace
Every Time I Die
From First To Last
Jack's Mannequin
Norma Jean
Protest The Hero
Relient K
Set Your Goals
Story Of The Year
The Academy Is...
The Color Fred
The Devil Wears Prada

Plus just check out random bands see what I like.

id like to go but i'm broke as a joke

Really want to go, but I'm otherwise occupied on the Detroit date.

Damn, just looked at the band lineup. Only like 3 bands I would even want to see really. Say Anything, Against Me!... maybe Motion City Soundtrack

Yeah the lineup is kind of lacking this year, no like HUGE names

but whatever I will probably see a bunch of bands that I will like that I dont even know yet

Went to see The Devil Wears Prada the other week, loved it.

Check out The Beat Union :)

eh, it's def. no bonnaroo

Yeah I think this is the first time I'm gonna have to miss Warped in the past 5 years. No big names that I'd be willing to buy a ticket for and stand in the sun all day to watch. There are a few bands on the bill that I'd like to see, but usually the payoff is a big name band to watch later on. Maybe next year.

Nobody I want to see

I'm going cause my friend has never been and is dying to go at least once. A lot of really good bands are skipping out on the Boston date (A Day To Remember, Alkaline Trio, Valencia, MCS, etc). Luckily there are some sweet bands still going like Angels & Airwaves, Say Anything, Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals, Anberlin, All Time Low, and others. I've never seen Say Anything, so I'm pumped they're playing.

The lineups from the past 2 years haven't been as good in my opinion though.

Anberlin.....do they have a new song out? If so, whats it called?

I believe it's Bittersweet Memory.

Check their wiki.

There's also some remixes floating around, including an alternate mix of Breaking off the new album, and a new mix of The Feel Good Drag, which is also supposed to be included. Plus remixes of Hello Alone and The Unwinding Cable Car.

3OH!3 is the only band worth seeing

Skippord. Come on. 3Oh3 is fucking horrible.

Its more because they're from Colorado, and its in my DNA that I have to like anything from here

except the Fray, fuck those guys

I'm going tomorrow.
fucking A right.

Against Me!
Anberlin
Motion City Soundtrack
Jack's Mannequin
Reel Big Fish

SAW:

Jack's Mannequin
The Academy Is
A Day To Remember
Set Your Goals
Reel Big Fish
The Devil Wears Prada
Every Time I Die
The Color Fred

but then it started fucking raining, like serious downpour, everyone left

MISSED
Protest The Hero
Anberlin
Story Of The Year
Angels and Airwaves
Four Year Strong
Alesana
Evergreen Terrace
From First To Last (Didn't get there early enough)

Anyways decent warped tour

saw other bands too (3OH!3 IS fucking horrible)

met one of the singers from Set Your Goals :love:

If I get called to work the show again this year in Englishtown, I'll go. Otherwise...meh.

It started raining when I was there too. Luckily it was after I saw most of the bands I wanted to see (Set Your Goals, Anberlin, All Time Low, and Say Anything all within 2 hours :mad: ). We found shelter under the canopy of the big stage, but because of that we had to sit through 3OH!3, which was terrible. The rain didn't start again until the end when Angels and Airwaves played, so they only played 3 songs.

The Color Fred was the biggest surprise of the day for me. I didn't really listen to them before, but they were really good live. Definitely a strong Taking Back Sunday influence in some of their songs.

It's awesome watching bands in the rain.

I'm going to my first Warped Tour next Friday on Aug. 1st. Any tips on things to know? Also, any suggestions in regards to getting close (distance from the stage-wise) to certain bands? I'd assume just get to the stage early...once a band is done, does everyone normally still hang around, or do the 'fans' of that band leave and head to another stage?

Anyways, I'm mainly going for Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals. Anberlin, Angels and Airwaves, and Pennywise are also ones I need to see.

Not when you can't hear or see them.



I don't really like The Color Fred. Yeah they do have a TBS influence, but I just think they're much worse.

Plus he said something interesting

That TBS was the band he USED to be in. So is TBS done?

I don't know what you're on about.

There's like 7 stages and a huge blowup thing that tells you where bands are playing at what time. Find that first and plan out your day. Leave time for merch and stuff. Look for when bands will be doing signings. Get to each stage like 15 mins early for the bands you want to see.

Usually there are groups of two stages side by side, so when like the stage on the left is done, the stage on the right will start up right away etc'

Set Your Goals were SICK

No they're recording right now. I guess Fred parted with the band on bad terms.

No he left on good terms, just wanted to go off with his side project and do his own thing.

Alesana is by far the most ridiculous live band I have ever seen live.

Four Year Strong, SYG, Anberlin, and AvA were all amazing.

I thought Alesana were decent live, didn't think they were amazing though.

Alesana is ok. They are like way too overly emo it annoys me.

I'm not a fan of theirs. I saw their whole set only cause they were playing on the large stage with a canopy, and we went under it when it started raining. That was also when I endured 3OH!3.

Raining? Damn. Every time I've been to Warped it's been 90-100 dredgers out :(
