[applesandcyanid]

Saosin - 06 - San Diego, "Seven Years" to be exact. Loved it because it was before the full length was out and I thought they were the best hahaaha.

[andthetruthwill]

Something Corporate. Might have been 2002 or 2001, they were the first band to play around noon on the main stage. I also saw Story of the Year, when they were still Big Blue Monkey that day, and from From Autumn to Ashes playing to about 20 people, but so intense and passionate it was unlike any band I had seen before at that time.

[caveBEAR]

A.f.i. - '01

[BrendanGrover]

NFG in 04

[zach26]

AFI, '01. i had no idea what the hell was going on. it was too early and too hot to make sense of anything.

[klawansie7]

relient k, 2008.
but i don't remember what they played at all... i think i saw motion city right after and started hyperventilating in the crowd and had to get pulled out.
wonderful memories, right there.

[cwhit412]

relient k, 2008.
but i don't remember what they played at all... i think i saw motion city right after and started hyperventilating in the crowd and had to get pulled out.

My friend was like "TOO GOD ROCK" and I'm like hell no, they rule...

[fly_guy]

alexisonfire 09

Loser!

[Crowe41]

Too far back to remember, but I'll list some bands that I only ever got to see because of warped...they never toured here seperately (That I was aware of).

-Hidden in Plain View
-Mest
-Midtown

Sucked to have to settle for half hour sets but each artists were equally amazing.

[Ron57]

Eh. Devil Wears Prada '09

Twas my first year haha.

[I'm DC]

Bleed The Dream in '04 followed by FATA...

AFI - '01. Damn you youngins'.

A.f.i. - '01

AFI, '01. i had no idea what the hell was going on. it was too early and too hot to make sense of anything.

[Neo Cassady]

[TangledUp]

AAR - Warped Tour 03. I'm slightly ashamed.

[rollerman4221]

Atl - 07

[paramorekicks]

it was 2004...i don't quite remember the first band i watched, i'm thinking it was alkaline trio tho.

[TangledUp]

I really hope that the lineup in 2010 is better. I felt weird not going this year.

[andwedanced]

Horse the band 2006

[shes.a.ghost]

my first year year was 2000. They had pretty huge bands back then. Green Day, No Doubt, Weezer, Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Even Papa Roach was there haha. This is the first year I haven't been to warped since then. Warped is a fucking joke this year.

[schenksta]

Saosin 05'

[TangledUp]

Warped is a fucking joke this year.
It was. First time I didn't go since 03.

[ChelseaRiane]

I have a feeling that warped tour is gonna get worse and worse

[makeshiftmind]

Eminem - Warped 99

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Midtown - Warped 02 San Diego... they were the first band playing on the right main stage, so happy I got in line early to enter otherwise I would've never seen them.

[brian_gregson]

Agaisnt Me! 08'

[tonighttonight0]

The Starting Line '07

[TangledUp]

Me too. :(

[Funshine]

Ataris '01

[patpratt]

paramore with about...15 other people in the crowd. they were on the smallest stage and fucking killed it.

[Java Nick]

Right when I got there (sometime around 11ish) I think I watched Days Like These or Moments in Grace. This was back in 2004.

[Mochem]

It was either Vox or some band I don't remember the name of in '06. I had no idea where the main stage was which is where Gym Class Heroes were playing, and asked a security guard, who told me the wrong stage. Saw two bands play that I didn't give a fuck about. Vox isn't that bad I guess.

[Genuma]

never gone never plan to.

[TangledUp]

paramore with about...15 other people in the crowd. they were on the smallest stage and fucking killed it.
Aw. I've always wanted to see them live, but haven't gotten the chance to yet.

[ChelseaRiane]

Me too. :(

Which really sucks. And its bringing in so many new fans, like Brokencyde and Millionaires. Is this really what warped has to come to?

[patpratt]

Aw. I've always wanted to see them live, but haven't gotten the chance to yet.

yeah i haven't gotten a chance to see them live since.

[TangledUp]

Which really sucks. And its bringing in so many new fans, like Brokencyde and Millionaires. Is this really what warped has to come to?
I guess so. :-(

yeah i haven't gotten a chance to see them live since.
Bummer!

[ChelseaRiane]

I've seen Paramore and it was one of the most unenjoyable experiences of my life

[frozenphoenix32]

Cute Is What We Aim For 07. They sucked

well, to each their own, i suppose.

[SincerelyMe]

Underoath - 09
This was the first year I was allowed to go to warped, and it'll probably be my last.

Aw. I've always wanted to see them live, but haven't gotten the chance to yet.

I saw them once. They weren't very good and the crowd was awful.

I've seen Paramore and it was one of the most unenjoyable experiences of my life

[muttley]

The Starting Line '07

[SuchAPerson22]

Technically it was Dear and the Headlights, but Paramore and Jimmy Eat World came after. April 2007.
Although I had some sort of asthma attack right before JEW, and ended up missing the first couple of songs... but I got right back in there when I was good!

[Montauk1222]

MxPx

edit: in 2005

[honkyg88]

Amber Pacific 07

[SincerelyMe]

Loser!

Absolutely not. Haha

[WarpedFan52]

The Academy Is... '08 unfortunately...

[nerdvglc]

i've been trying to remember, but i can't be completely for sure. i've narrowed it down to the early november (yes, at warped), emery, or saosin.

the more i think about it, the more sure i am that it was saosin.

[Hockeywall]

Amber Pacific 07

Same deal... went with my girlfriend at the time. She fought some girl for a drumstick after their set[they were punching and actually fighting for it for a good 2-3 minutes] I wasn't too impressed.

[dubtown]

The Used (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individua l&VideoID=61130701) a few years back. fucking awesome!

[XSTAYGOLDX]

thrice 05 i believe

[porttheman]

[Feenucks]

[billyboatkid]

[billy_yo]

[relaxrelapse830]

American Diary '08. They sucked.

[$eth]

Alesana - Warped Tour Fresno 08

[michelle182]

Norma Jean '08

I was really there at that stage to see The Academy Is (haha), but Norma Jean was before them so I ended up seeing them first.

[AlinA82688]

Saves The Day, '06

[kayfrstprf]

Well, this year was my first year and when I walked in, I was walking aimlessly around a accidentally walked by Millionaires. So, I guess it would be them. God, they were horrible. But the first band the I actually watched watched would be Anti-Flag.

[showyourteeth]

Senses Fail '04

[Greg.Kushlan]

AFI - '01. Damn you youngins'. It's not that I'm young, my parents were way too overprotective and wouldn't let me go the previous years, 2006 was when I was going to college so they didn't care that year.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

I was young as heck but it was back in 2004. I don't even remember.

[mar_]

Eminem - Warped 99
Wow. You were young.

For me, it was 2005. My American Heart, I think. Not entirely sure. The Ernie Ball stage was next to the bathrooms, and we'd been in the car a while.

My first full set seen was The All-American Rejects.

[SanePsychotic]

Big D and the Kid's Table. I think it was 2007.

[JoshCool7717]

From Autumn to Ashes - Warped '04

[Ron57]

jk?
It's like you think you're being funny or something.
gtfo.

[jonesallison93]

underoath 07

[andrewa5]

Chiodos- Warped 07,

Didnt even know who they were but then became one of my favorite bands!!!

[desiguerilla]

every time i die in 2008 for like 3/4 of their set

the first full set i saw was the human abstract in 08 (left every time i die to see this)

[TheZeroKid]

During Warped Tour '04, I rushed over to the main stage to catch Anti-Flag. While waiting to catch my first band at my first warped tour, I caught the last bit of The (International) Noise Conspiracy, which I guess, beat out Anti-Flag by about 3 songs.

[mallrat37]

The Academy is... 08'

[ChelseaRiane]

seriously?! they are soo good live, in my opinion.
well, to each their own, i suppose.

Well the band itself was good. But there was a good three million 12 year olds freaking out and pushing and crying. It was a million degrees that day and it just for some reason was very unenjoyable

[Shattered Glass]

Loser!

i know right

[fly_guy]

The Academy is... 08'

They played a good set when I saw them at Warped 08. Good choice!

[jr0d5]

hawthorne heights 05....oh how my taste has changed

[SwiftSilentDead]

The Spill Canvas in 2007. Was mainly just watching them from the side because I had a half hour to kill at the beginning of the day.

[live.]

Might have been Billy Talent

[weaz45]

Coheed and Cambria

[PlaceOfIndigo]

silverstein 09 missed chiodos ballllsss

[imagination]

lagwagon '02

[TSLROCKS]

Fall Out Boy Warped 05

[paramorekicks]

Well the band itself was good. But there was a good three million 12 year olds freaking out and pushing and crying. It was a million degrees that day and it just for some reason was very unenjoyable
ooh ok...understandable.

[Kerplunk_23]

The Starting Line 07

[WARPEDorlando09]

Breathe Carolina 09

[sweepthenation]

The Devil Wears Prada 08

[HisDearJuliet]

Escape the Fate 09

[miketheauthor]

The Bled. I wasn't directly in their crowd watching, but I was in the crowd at the second main stage waiting for thrice to come on. The Bled is now one of my favorite bands ever, but I remember hearing and seeing them there and thinking their music was pretty intense. I wasn't in to much heavy music then. haha

[Whimsikill]

I don't really remember. I think Hot Rod Circuit 07.

[HOB Chicago]

Rancid.

Wasn't into them too much before the show but they were so amazing live!

[CuomoFan77]

Weezer in 2000.

Saw them in brighton, one of the best performances I have ever seen.

Recently my job picked up a campaign for Weezer and T-mobile CLIQ to promote their recently released album Raditude. The campaign is designed to get people a Weezer concert at their school by voting on Facebook. The site is here (http://youcastcorp.com/c/82/go/index.php?r=0)for those interested in voting. Just vote for your favorite campus there and the winner will recieve a live Weezer concert at the school of their choice.

Pretty good deal especially if you're a fan of Raditude(like me)

[cirerelleum]

Fall Out Boy in 04. They were playing as i walked in, it was pretty sweet.

[yves.]

the early november. 2005.

[guitarpickheart]

The bands I like enough to pay to see aren't on Warped.

[SophGod]

[HometownHero]

[HometownHero]

wtf is your deal? i havent done or said shit to you. why cant i like that music? because its not your style. im sorry you feel that way.

First off its not music.

[atlftskea09]

First off its not music.

[HometownHero]

Its a sad excuse to just make money. Its not art. It has zero meaning. and it doesnt even have the element of fun that pop performers have.They jumped at what was popular. Stupid scene kids like yourself that will eat up any fad. If only the fad was for real music. Then I would be so happy

[anthonydarko]

That sucks. Warped Tour needs to be canceled after the last two years. I think mine was The Starting Line
You're totally not being an asshole here.

[HometownHero]

You're totally not being an asshole here.
Please say that you're not defending Breathe Carolina

[anthonydarko]

Please say that you're not defending Breathe Carolina
Who said I was defending the band? The guy saw Breathe Carolina because he wanted to, I don't see how that "sucks".

[HometownHero]

Who said I was defending the band? The guy saw Breathe Carolina because he wanted to, I don't see how that makes him less of a person then you.
yep

[anthonydarko]

yep
Right, coming from a guy who listens to The Maine :rolleyes:

[HometownHero]

Right, coming from a guy who listens to The Maine :rolleyes:
Somehow I knew that would come up to bite me in the ass

[theguy77]

lol billy talent

that guy talks exactly like he sings. its fucking hilarious.

[atlftskea09]

Its a sad excuse to just make money. Its not art. It has zero meaning. and it doesnt even have the element of fun that pop performers have.They jumped at what was popular. Stupid scene kids like yourself that will eat up any fad. If only the fad was for real music. Then I would be so happy

first of all, i am not a scene kid. im diverse, i like everything. from jack's mannequin to bring me the horizon. and maybe it doesnt have meaning. but its fun. and cant music be fun??

[cookseymusic]

the vandals

[love_american_style]

i feel old. 1999.

i can't remember which band was first but i saw...

NOFX
Papa Roach (when they were good)
Snapcase
Suicide Machines

a friend of mine went to the first warped tour and seen Alanis Morrisette and the Deftones

[HometownHero]

first of all, i am not a scene kid. im diverse, i like everything. from jack's mannequin to bring me the horizon. and maybe it doesnt have meaning. but its fun. and cant music be fun??

When music is a gimmick or the people making it are gimmick fucks then it's not fun it's stupid and the fans of that trash are dumb as shit too.

[Car Crash Dream]

Paramore '06, I'm pretty sure.

[WhatJulianSaid]

I know bullet for my valentine was the first band to play at mine in 06' but I didn't see them I think the first band I saw of the day was eighteen visions most likely not that I was into either at the time lol

[Spewk]

first of all, i am not a scene kid. im diverse, i like everything. from jack's mannequin to bring me the horizon. and maybe it doesnt have meaning. but its fun. and cant music be fun??
I honestly don't care what you listen to, as long as you like it. But, if you're trying to show your diversity, actually choose bands that are diverse.

[VioletRain]

Escape The Fate

[TSLROCKS]

Fall Out Boy 05

[love_american_style]

hahahahaa...I don't remember the first band I saw at the warped tour. I think it was 2000 .... maybe it was the Donnas or somethin'

[CobraKai84]

Warped '04..I think the first band was my chemical romance. Highlights were Thursday and Yesterdays Rising

[boredstiff]

Hahah. Fenix TX. 2001. They were not very good.

[cirerelleum]

2004, Falloutboy was playing while we were waiting in line and walking in.

[CstSnow]

Simple Plan in 2000 haha.

[TraceyCha]

I honestly don't care what you listen to, as long as you like it. But, if you're trying to show your diversity, actually choose bands that are diverse.
My first concert was the Let's Make A Mess Tour: Hey Monday, This Providence, The Friday Night Boys, Stereo Skyline, and The Bigger Lights. June 17th, 2009!!

[aradiantsunrise]

I think it was Paramore in 2005 actually.

[Starbursting]

I think it was Paramore in 2005 actually.

The first Warped you went to was in 2005?

[Starbursting]

Yeah, haha.

I need to remember, I think the first one I ever want to was either in the 7th or 8th grade. I remember as I was walking there I heard Buddy Nielson's horrible voice. I have to think about it to say which band I saw actually saw first though.

[prefix-core]

The Bouncing Souls. 1999. Northampton, MA. I've seen them 30+ times since. All-time favorite band? Quite possibly.

[aradiantsunrise]

The first Warped you went to was in 2005?

Yeah, haha.

[DylanPPPP]

Bring Me The Horizon '10

Well I saw Pierce The Veil play one song before I saw BMTH but I don't think that really counts.
I was really far away for BMTH so if you're talking the first band that I was actually close enough to see and get into it?
Set Your Goals.

[TheFaceOfZach]

Same, in Minneapolis.

It was at Shakopee. But close enough...

[skibby15]

the starting line '07

[chelsealouanne]

This year was my first Warped Tour. I wish I could have attended one sooner.
The Summer Set was the band I seen first. They were playing at the time the dors were just opening pretty much.
I also saw I See Stars, The Pretty Wreckless (A few songs), Sum 41, VersaEmerge, Never Shout Never and Artist vs Poet. Pretty disappointed that I missed Hey Monday's set though.

[iamthealex]

It was at Shakopee. But close enough...

Same thing. It was the date of the Warped Tour intended for people in Minneapolis/St. Paul and the surrounding area, but it just happened to be in Shakopee.

[BornUnderPunches]

Hmm. Close call for me.

Four Year Strong - 08
Valencia - 09
Set Your Goals - 10
so the answer is FYS?

[allyallisyall]

seriously, it was mychemical romance at 11am. never seen so many 11 year olds in my life.

[$eth]

Whoa. Idk what happened. I could have swore it said "What is the best band you've ever seen at warped.". Idk why. I've already posted in this thread. It was alesana. I'll delete it. My bad

[pseudonym28]

[.dot]

Matchbook Romance - 05

Was late to the show and since it was my first Warped Tour I didn't understand how to find out band set-times. So my friend and I went and stood by a random stage and Matchbook Romance walked out, haha. I missed so many good bands that year though.

[.dot]

This

tiOpJwgJzA8
