so this was my third year at warped tour and its the one thing i look forward to every year: meeting great bands, seeing great, dying from heat, etc....
this yearpretty awesome. i tried a new technique of not seeing all of one bands set (except for who i really wanted to see) and seeing about 15-20 min of all the bands i wanted to see if there were scheduling conflicts. i think my plan worked cuz i saw a lot of bands and here a recap and picture of most of the bands i saw:
Silverstein- They were ok. i saw them for three songs and one was a slow song, one was a fast punk song and the other was a typical screamo song from silverstein.

Over It- this band has been hyped on ap.net for a while now and honestly i dont see what the fuss is about. sure they are catchy, but there are a lot of bands playing the same kind of music and they didnt sound to great live (except for siren on the 101)

Emery-the first really awesome band of the day. they sounded tight and knew how to rock.walls was fuckin crazy. even though the screamer danced like a little girl. definately good set

Saves The Day-one of thefew bands i watched the entire set. they blared through songs off sound the alarm (say youll never leave, head for the hills, the end) and through being cool (all star me, rocks tonic..) and ended with anywhere with you which sounded awesome

Less Than Jake-ltj are very fun band. though im not crazy over their music i do enjoy (especailly in the summer) and today i was very impressed. they also started a chicked fight with all girls during science of selling yourself short

Motion City Soundtrack-the first time i see mcs and they didnt disappoint. they sounded tight and played all their hits (capitalh, make out kid, my fav accident, everythings allright, future...)definatly a must see set
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/motioncitysoundtrak.jpg
Anti-Flag-i was very tired by anti flag so i didnt watch most of their set but what i saw of it was excellent. underground network, rank n file, press corpse were all played and af played more than talked which was cool

Saosin-cove reber can sing live. he has a high voice and it could have been a disaster but was actually wonderful. sleepers, 7yrs, translating the name, lost symphanies, bury your head were all played and sounded great. the two new song sounded pretty good also and the drumming was insane.their new cd sep 29

Bouncing Souls-only saw two song but they are def a lot of fun
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/bouncing.jpg
Rise Against-total disappointment. one of the main bands i wanted to see and they were so sloppy it was very disappointing. state of the union if one of my fav songs but it sounded awful live. rise against is still a very good band nonetheless
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/riseagainst.jpg
Pink Spiders-15$ cds? thats stupid cuz i woulda bought one from these guys. very rock n roll and very good
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/pinkspiders.jpg
Cartel-saw the tailend of their set (honestly, burn this city, say anything else) and were very good. the lead singer sure can sing, these guys should not be on the ernie ball stage, so many peopl were watching them it was ridiculous
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/cartel.jpg
Helmet-nobody caught my eye during the time they were playing so i thought id check them out and they were good. very very loud
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/helmet.jpg
The Bled-these guys were insane. they sure got the pit moving and their sounds sounded awesome
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/bled.jpg
Thursday-they one the energizer thing and deserved it. i only saw 3 songs from them (understanding, other side of crash, workforce) but they sound delicious. i only three songs because two other really good bands were playingat the same time so i wanted to see a bit of each

Valient Thorr-best live show at the warped tour this year.nobody was watching them cuz they were at thursday so i got front row action to these guys and they were awesome. sick guitar licks and an insane frontman. GO SEE VALIENT THORR

Every Time I Die-i hate hardcore dancing, it ruined all the moshing for etid, who were awesome by the way.i went and did the robot in the middle of all the hardcore dancers and they gave me weird looks but idc cuz they look gay dancing like that
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/etid.jpg
Joan Jett-i love rock n roll! joan jett is hot
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/joan.jpg
Sherwood-these guys are super nice. i met them and mentioned the free ep off here and we had a cool little convo going. their set was awesome too. not too many ppl there but it was really cool. middle of the night is a great song
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/sherwood.jpg
Against Me!-they were good but not great. they sounded good just some of their old stuff didnt connect with me that well. still miami may have the been the best song performed atthis show. especially with the horns it sounds incredible
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/against.jpg
Underoath-insane. thats all ic an say.so much energy, so much aggression these guys are insane live. def one of the best acts on warped. only complaint= 4tocs 2dtgl
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/murphy77/underoath.jpg
NOFX-hilarious. they made so much fun of aiden and underoath. funny dudes, plus el jefe can play trumpet really well
