Vans Warped Tour

[cnamon]

Anyone want to go?  I can get tickets for the Bristow VA show.

[Alice]

My friend's band played the Warped Tour 2 years ago.  Or was it 3?

[SockmonkeyHolocaust]

We almost got a chance to play a side stage years ago, but we lost to some shit alterna-band and their guitarist died two years later while trying to evade police in his girlfriend's car after stealing her money to buy cocaine.

the warped tour is the showcase of all that sucks in popular american music.

The Buzzcocks and LTJ are good. 

The Plain White T's are from Naperville... maybe Wheaton.  They're not that great - but they're a hell of a lot better than they used to be.

[snizwilk]

ok

you gotta admit that the new Helmet sucks nuts though.

[Alice]

ok

you gotta admit that the new Helmet sucks nuts though.

I don't think I've heard them.  But I'll agree anyway. 

[Beefy]

WTF Joan Jett?

[Listener]

Of these...

Bouncing Souls - pretty good
Dog Fashion Disco - WTF?  And BTW, anyone remember the band "Dogs Die in Hot Cars"?  What happened to them?
Gym Class Heroes - part of Cobra Starship, who wrote "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)", so they can't suck.  Actually, I have their album, and it's okay.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - pretty good
Less Than Jake - excellent
Plain White T's - not bad
Shiragirl - a Jewish band?

[Gamplayerx]

Maybe DC can go and peg Joan Jett with a bottle to the noggin.
