punk? says
uh you guys are lame…. lets get NOFX, Rancid, the Casualties, and the Unseen to all come.
RootRad78 says
I def. agree with punk?, the warped tour should be bands like Rancid, NOFX, Casualties, the Vandals, Dropkick Murphys, Guerrila Buscuits, bands like that. Anymore the Warped Tour is nothing but a bunch of emo bands like Hawthorne Heights and the Used. I mean come on, whatever happened to the “PUNK” in the Warped Tour?
Lewis says
The warped tour is trying to make money man. The big bands sell tickets and i think it has been better and better every year. open up your mind to new music man and you would have a blast. If not then the warped tour is making a ton of money as it is, and could careless if you buy a ticket or not.
RootRad78 says
Oh yea your right. Open my mind to newer music. I just love listening to music about love and how shitty other peoples lives must be and cutting my wrists and blacking my eyes over some dumbass girl. Makes a lot of damn sense. People know how shitty it feels to cram over girls. Why write songs about it. Maybe next time I listen to some emo shit I’ll go tell people how horrible my life is and cut my wrists and smoke a cigarette, while I’m piercing every spot on my body and putting on ten pounds of eye liner. Thats not music thats someone telling the world how shitty their life is. Who cares, no one wants to know. Everyone lives there own life. Those people should too. I listen to music to hear something good…not listen to some guys telling people how their life is so fucked up. Oh and then there’s the bands that you can’t understand a damn word that they say because it’s all blahbalhbalhblahblah!!!! Oh they’re great. Only thing good about the Warped Tour anymore is bands like Guttermouth and Tiger Army and Murphy’s. Bands that sing about how GOOD it is to be alive and have a good time while you still can. Oh yea emo music, just how I want to spend my life, bitching and moaning about how gay it might be. Everything else is just dumb whogivesashit music. And I couldn’t careless than I already do if they get my money or not. I’ll stick to the Murphy’s and Rancid concerts. All the other emo guys can go. Hense why I don’t.
Bryce Jacobson says
This comment from Kevin Lyman pretty much sums up this years tour. “A Message From The Warped Tour’s Founder Kevin Lyman: It has been a very interesting Vans Warped tour to book with over 4,000 submissions. In booking the tour this year, I felt that a diverse line-up was in order. The tour has always been a place to explore and discover new music. This year’s line-up has old school, emo, punk, screamo, hip-hop, more ska than you have seen in a long time, and everything in between. If you go in open minded, this will be a great show. If you’re not, this might be the year to stay home and go do something constructive with your lives instead of complaining about the line-up on the message boards…“
Trevor Bivens says
Haha. I can’t stand ignorance. I’ve never seen anyone bitch about a ska festival, even though there are many different types of ska. Nobody cares and everyone just wants to have a good time.
spmthegriffin says
I see so many people bitch about how theres less and less punk at Warped Tour. Maybe thats because punk is and has been a dying genre for years. I love punk music, don’t get me wrong. But you have to accept that bands like The Clash and Sex Pistols arent around anymore, and most other punk bands since them have brought a seed of evolution. Punk rock changed. Now we have mostly pop-punk, which is just fine. Punk kids go on and on about how “emo” kids and bands whine all the time, but all the punks do is complain about the emo genre and it makes them look retarded and hypocritical. Whatever. Punk isnt huge anymore, now more people are getting into screamo and hardcore and things like that, and in a couple/few years, itll die out and something else will be huge. Grow up.
Oh and speaking of dead genres, ska BLOWS. BIGTIME.
THE art says
Music is about a communication of emotion wether it’s feeling like crap about agirl or just gettin pissed and having fun. The only thing that really matters to me is that the band tries to be professional and original i mean there are a lot of emo songs that just sing about nothing that anybody cares about and play there insturments with no real heart, originality or talent, but the same can be said about any genre of all time, i mean come in punk you got the same repetitive guitar part in every song, it seems like the guitaists learned moveable power chords and then gave up on evolvin any further, but thats okay in some cases because thats all they need. I believe music is on of the last great arts but if closed minded than it will shrivle up and die, but if we are not discerningit will become over run by rederic and the spirit will be lost.
THE art says
there’s a fine line between ignorance and descernment
RootRad78 says
You know. It seems as if ever since these emo bands starting coming around on the Warped Tour everyone has been fighting over them for years now. Years back when the Warped Tour was GOOD, there were hardly any people bitching besides parents and grandparents. Ever since these emo bands have come around what good has the dumb wristcuttin music done except make people want to die? It hasn’t. Taking away that dumbshit music would stop people from bitching and moaning all the time. I must say, I am one of the people that has bitched more than anyone else in the entire world about it. Is it pointless to bitch? In a sense, yes, and in another, no. It seems pointless because I know no matter what I say it isn’t going to change for shit. But then again getting my point across to people who aren’t EMORULESTHEWORLD, ignorant dumbfucks, makes it worth it in the end. So all of the ignorant people that are simply standing up for the emo music. Please fuck off you ignorant assholes.
RootRad78 says
Trevor…you can’t stand ignorance? You commented to tell people nobody cares and they want to have a good time. Well NO SHIT. Keen observation there scotty. I had no clue people went to the Warped Tour to have a good time. Golly, thanks for telling me that. Now who can’t stand ignorance. People like you annoy me. Say that they can’t stand ignorance but yet they are beyond ignorance themselves. PFFFFF…..what an ass.
XXXchristine says
Omg ignorance… Emo is not just whining, it’s being honest. The lyrics are honest. Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein, Bayside, and all of those other awesome bands, are just being honest and expressing themselves. If you don’t like it, that’s your problem and nobody wants to know. Your just pissed b/c punk is dying (I like punk and emo) and emo’s started to take over so you’re going to make fun of it for your cause and not care what other people have to say about it. That is ignorant =/
Trevor Bivens says
Well evidently if you go to Warped, it’s not to have a good time(Root) because all you’re going to do is bitch about all the emo bands there. I’m sure if you look hard enough, you could find a festival or a show that’s nothing but street, political or whatever the hell kind of punk bands that you want to see. Sometimes, I think people pay thirty dollars to go to Warped just to bitch, so I really don’t see the ignorance in saying people at a SKA FESTIVAL(nowhere in my first post did I mention Warped) are there to have a good time. The real ignorance I was talking about though is the fact that what you’re calling emo isn’t emo. You do know that emo originally spawned from hardcore punk, right? You do know Ian MacKaye helped start the original emo genre…don’t you?
horrorcakez says
are the causalties gonna play at warp tour this year?
if they r… ama fuckn flipout
RootRad78 says
Ok Trevor. Now if you would have read my earlier comments I stated that I’m not going to the Warped Tour anymore because of all of the emo bands that play there. So quit talking about me bitching at the warped tour because it’s making you sound like a dumbass because I already said I’m not going. And yes emo is emo. I’m aware that’s where emo spawned from. It’s not about where it came from, it’s about what bands today have made it become. People have made emo become a type of music that encourages depression and sadness. I’d bet that those were not the intentions of those who first started the emo genre. Metal spawned from Britain with bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath. But look at what it has become today. Where emo spawned from means shit to me. It’s not the same as what it was when it first came around. Haven’t these emo bands ever heard the saying…Who gives a shit. That’s what I say to their storybook songs. Who gives a shit. The lyrics are so unimaginative. There is not thought in them whatsoever. Anyone could write a fuckin song saying that there life blows because they dated a girl for 3 months and they got dumped so they cut themselves. Make music that has life to it; not a depressing melody. And then kids say that it’s nice to know that someone else can relate to what they go through. Well not shit!! That’s goddamn common sense. Anyone who’s got a fucking brain in their skull knows that they’re not the only one in the entire world that has the same problems they do. So why write a song about it. All in all, music has gone to shit. Thanks to these fuckin faggotass emo bands. If they never would have come around would anyone be bitching??? Perhaps but i garunfuckintee that no one would bitch nearly as much as they do now. Before emo bands came around who bitched the most? Parents and grandparents, that’s who. Now that these emo bands around everyone bitches; and why do they bitch? Because emo is fucking gay that’s why. And by the way, if you’ve listened to punk lately ahrdly anyone sings about political bullshit anymore you ignorant dumbshit. Listen to Rancid once. There’s songs are 95% about having a good time and enjoying life. Yea, spend a life crying and cutting. Now if you even know what you’re talking about at all, even you know that that’s just that dumbest thing anyone has ever heard of. Period. End of story.
RootRad78 says
And for you Christine you dumb fuck. Ignorant means more than rude you dumbshit. You’re the type of dumbfuck emo retard I’m speaking of. People like you have no business being on a site like this posting comments making yourself look like a fucking ass. Punk isn’t dead. It will never be dead. And as for emo being about being honest and expressing yourself; isn’t just about all music honest you ignorant dumbshit? Sure they express shit about themselves. Emo’s all about expressing people’s INDIVIDUALITY. Those retards can go and express that shit, but in the end their idividuality means nothing to the rest of the world. Why express themselves to the world like anyone gives a fat flying fuck. The only people that act like they give a shit are the morons that think there’s something special about the shitty emo they listen to: but those people are fucking retarded to think that anyone gives a shit about them too. You know I love how the emo people that make it a lifestyle try to say, “Oh my god, I’ve tried every possible way to kill myself just for the fucking attention and they think that it’s cool. Well obviously those dumbshits havent tried every possible way because they should just go shoot themselves in the fucking head. Or jump off of a building. Or save up for a boatload of heroin and take a lethal dose of it. Oh yea, emo all about expressing shit. It also encourages depression (like I have stated in previous posts). If you knew anything whatsoever about shit that you were talking about you would know that people today have made emo more than just expressing yourself and being honest. Now please don’t post another comment and make yourself look like an ignorant fuck.
ashle says
haha oh god. stop wasting your time. if you dont like the lineup dont go, and stfu and stop complaining.
peaace.
rootFAG69 says
RootRad…jus wanna let you know i never do this kind of stuff cause its dumb (interveine in blog arguments) but your a jackass!!!! hahaha this MUST be all you think about because you could fill a bucket with all the shit that comes out your mouth…but anyway all those other “metal” bands that you speak of so royally for example “Black Sabbath” most of there lyrics are about the same things as your “emo” friends but are portraid differently through distorted guitar solos and different voices. So by now you probably have me out to be an emo person..WRONG!! i like everything..I like everything because it sounds good. Just about all music is about how a guys wants a girl from tobey keith to black sabbath.
oh and p.s. not to may emo bands talk about killing themselves..they imply that they’d rather be dead than in whatever position the’re in… not suicidile
RootRad78 says
First off dumb fuck, awesome name, it describes you perfectly…FAG 69. Is that what you like to do in your free time?: 69 with other guys? I don’t even need to read your dumb fuckin comment because just looking at your name I can see that you’re a dumbass ignorant faggot already. But just to prove your nigger ass wrong I did anyway. “Cut my wrists and black my eyes. So I can fall asleep tonight. Because you kill me.”-Hawthorne Heights. Wow!! Boy your right dumbshit. That’s not encouraging depression or death whatsoever. Now what kind of a dumb fuckin idiot would get on here to say metal and emo talk about the same things. Your dumb ass that’s who. Listen to bands like Motley Crue, Kix, Warrant, bands like that. After you do so please listen to Hawthorne Heights and please, please tell me how they even come remotely close to the same meanings in their songs. You’re fuckin dumb dude. Don’t even bother getting back on here because you are a fucking retard. Of course, that’s true. By the sounds of it it looks like you either work at Skills or are a client there. Fuckin moron.
And ashle, If you would read earlier comments you wouldn’t look like a fuckin idiot when you post yours.

rootFAG69 says
oh and how can i be a “fuckin moron” if i dont even work or know what “Skills” is?
Ihatedouches says
I hate people like Rootrad78. they have no life but to search for little stupid ass blogs to bitch on. Punk these days, for the most part, sucks ass. granted, i like the clash and the sex pistols and the ramones, but name one band nowadays that sounds like them. Maybe if ud get those dicks out of ur ears u could listen to some good music, like Chiodos or Evaline or Greeley Estates. all good emo bands.
Rootrad78 says
Oh my god. Wow, good job FAG. You found two songs in the 80’s out of thousands that have emotional lyrics. Well Mr. IactlikeIknoweverythingbutImreallyfuckinretarded, do you have any idea what those two songs are about? Obviously not, do some fuckin research before you go and run your dicksuckers. Too Fast for Love is a song about a girl that thinks she’s falling in love because she’s out screwing guys when really she doesn’t know that love isn’t just about having sex. And Body Talk is about a girl that lead singer Steve Whiteman was attracted to and he could tell that she wanted him just by the way she looked and acted when he was around. Oh yea, real fuckin emotional asshole. They’re just singing away about killing themselves and cutting their wrists and all that shit. See what I mean? How do you even compare those two types of music? Get a fuckin education on music before you try to put someone like me down. Now quit posting your makenosensewhatsoever posts. Goddamn people like you are fuckin dumb. And then you say Hawthorne Heights is the only one? Cute Without the E (CUT from the team)….no no no, that’s not EMOtional whatsoever. YOU ARE A FUCKING STOOGE. People like you and old douche up their are the type of people that get pissed off whens someone like me gets on here and bashes on emo fucks. So then you try to sound tough and stand up for the emo fucks by saying shit to me that I completely shut down every time just because all of you dumbshits don’t want to admit that my point is very very goddamn good. No one will admit that because they don’t want to be proved wrong so you retards try and argue with something you can’t win against. Get one, just ONE good point about something and maybe in the next fuckin millenium I might agree but until then, SHUT UP YOU STUPID FUCKS!!!
