warped tour
euh... i fucken suck at this lj thing. i never remember to write stuff...
so i went to warped tour at nassau colliseum last sat. holy shit... i only go because its like a ritual now. my summer wouldnt be complete w.out my day in the sun w.half naked 14 year olds. the bands are kind of worthless now. we saw paramore, throwdown, as i lay dying, bad religion, some of a straylight run and new found glory, and underoath
i love paramore to death but i never felt more like a loser in my life. well... maybe not as much as a loser as the douche who started a pit during paramores set... that takes a special kind of person
throwdown was really good actually. they played some new stuff and it sounds like theyre going back to their old stuff (pre-haymaker) which is def a good move for them. they incited the largest circle pit ive ever seen in my life. it went around 2 tents. winnie the pooh also resurfaced during their set. i havent seen that kid in years. its amusing that hes kept that shit up for so long. i dont know how he didnt die of heat stroke wearing that fucken head to toe furry suit outside all day in august
as i lay dying was good too. nothing special tho
ive never seen bad religion before. bill is the punk in the relationship but i have to say they were really good. i would almost consider applying at ucla. their singer just seems so intelligent. its really good to see bands like that doing their thing altho i saw the worst thing all day during bad religions set. before the band comes on i see this mid 30 looking guy holding a kid of about 5 or 6 in his arms. im thinking 'sweet. thats adorable.' the kid even has a teeny lil spike bracelet on. the band comes on and plays a couple songs. i notice that the guy is jumping around the pit w.the kid in his arms. i was a little confused but i figure 'wow... thats one tough lil kid' until i look closer and realize that the kid is bawling... tears streaming from his face and that fucken asshole is yelling at him telling him to stop crying. that is not the way to break your kid into this kind of music. when he thinks of bad religion all he will remember is that day he was outside all day and got his ass beat when he was 5. not cool
i hate to say it but i forgot i knew all those new found glory songs. their singles... i never went and bought their album. they did play an awesome cover of kiss me by sixpence none the richer
underoath was good too. nothing special again. we booked it after them and went to pf changs to eat dinner. my hand may or may not be broken. its not looking so hot. cold stone afterwards and then i drove bill back home to jersey. i had a good time but i hate going to shows like this. i feel like i should be getting paid to babysit. im going to seriously reconsider going next year... unless they have a really awesome line-up, which hasnt happened in a while
