Bamboozle 2009 Official Thread

[LOUDERnow7]

I figured that since no one has written a thread about Bamboozle 09' that I would.

Anyone going?
Anyone hating the lineup?
Anyone loving the lineup?

www.thebamboozle.com
www.myspace.com/thebamboozle

[MixedwithBlood]

i honestly hate this years lineup, i still havent decided to go or not. it would be my third year in a row. who knows

[offsetgroupie]

I'll be at both this year.

Left is such a let down. I guess after seeing Jimmy, Face to Face, Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory, RXB, TSL, RBF, AAR and a bunch of others on the same day last year.. almost anything they could have put together wouldn't have been as good.

[a morning view]

worst festival ever.

[futurebreed]

Will be doing photos again this year

[WasteofPaint31]

The lineup right now isn't too great.

Third Eye Blind would be awesome to see though.

[WasteofPaint31]

Also TGUK!

[Miss Heartcore]

Isn't there a thread about this in General and in the Music forum?

[LOUDERnow7]

Isn't there a thread about this in General and in the Music forum?

...maybe? But there is no reason why there cannot be one in the Set-list thread. But thank you for your comment.

[Phil507]

...maybe? But there is no reason why there cannot be one in the Set-list thread. But thank you for your comment.

True but it takes away from the whole idea of a setlist forum because people have to scroll through 28 pages of bullshit such as "Yo, Chiodos totally sucks! Fuck you, Chiodos rules!" to get to any actual setlists.

[Miss Heartcore]

It's just that now there are three different threads to check.

[Batman138]

a large part of me really wants to fly out to california just so I can see the Bled on this, its been way too long.

[kristanxmarie]

i was planning on going, but i'm broke, so i'll probably go on just saturday or not at all. there's not too many bands i want to see, and bamboozle is such a ridiculously overpriced event.

[chcougar1]

how much are tickets these days? I went in 2005 and it was $40 per day.....i think that is worth it in my opinion...don't forget the $125 airline ticket and $150 for hotel for three nights haha

[kristanxmarie]

$57 per day plus service charges. plus the gas to drive there. atleast i don't bother with hotels. i just crash on random people's floors. there's only 2 bands each day i really like, and a couple i'd enjoy seeing. not worth it at all.

[TMS2787]

Unesccary thread when we are almost two months away from the festival(s).

oh yeah def not worth it if you only like a couple of bands. I liked about 10 bands each day so it was worth it for me lol

[LOUDERnow7]

Unesccary thread when we are almost two months away from the festival(s).

It's not made to neccesary, if you don't want to write in it you don't have to. It was made simply to see how people are feeling about the lineup so far and if people are even going, and than when it gets to the time when we are closer it will become neccesary (at least for you).

[Phil507]

It's totally unnecessary unless you edit your very first post once the festival happens to update it with setlists so people don't have to scroll through 30 pages of BS.

[jpgretzky15]

i love how the schmohawks who make their website send some garbage song blasting through my speakers every time i try to check the lineup in hopes that they actually added some good bands. sorry face to face/NFG/3EB, i just dont think you guys are enough to pull me out this year for the money these people are charging.

bring back skate and surf

Seeing as how this is the show reviews/set-list section of the forum and this contains neither and there is other threads in general about this festival -- this is unneccesary.

[kristanxmarie]

yeah, last year i went and was watching a band i liked almost the entire day. i want to go, but i just don't have the money.

Seeing how your name is TMS2787 -- you are unnecessary.

[Im Felling this]

personally i like the line up
its different from last year in different ways, so i think its worth it.
Both days can't wait =D

[OMGitsAndrew]

I am really excited this year. There are tons of bands I like. So far: Bayside, Innerpartysystem, Enter Shikari, Taking Back Sunday, Parkway Drive, No Doubt, TEB, Patent Pending, Gwar, Closure in Moscow, Sum41, Silverstein, Rise Against, Before Their Eyes, and August Burns Red! I can't wait to see the next announcements.

[TMS2787]

Seeing how your name is TMS2787 -- you are unnecessary.
Wow, great comeback! Because you using the name of a shitty Taking Back Sunday album as your username is just so awesome, great job!

[LOUDERnow7]

Wow, great comeback! Because you using the name of a shitty Taking Back Sunday album as your username is just so awesome, great job!

Wow, great comeback! Because you using a picture of Kanye West with a mullet as your avatar is just so awesome, great job!

[rising_tied]

Ill be at THE Bamboozle in Jersey.
Theres some bands that IMO are hella sick then some I can deal with since Ill be there
Our last night, Gwen Stacy, August Burns Red, 3OH!3, Sum 41, No Doubt, Enter Shikari, new found glory, ATTACK!ATTACK!, Bloodhound Gang, My Children My Bride, Suicide Silence, This is Hell I guess Rise against, and if my friend makes me then Taking back sunday

[daisylove]

Kinda sad to say Senses Fail is like the only band I'd really give a second look.

[avengedtbs]

Kinda sad to say Senses Fail is like the only band I'd really give a second look.
Yeah that is sad considering there are bands like the Get Up Kids and Thrice playing.

[zubinmoosa]

bump

[Im Felling this]

are there anymore updates coming or is this it?

[avengedtbs]

are there anymore updates coming or is this it?
At the bottom of the lineup page on the website's main page, it still says "more acts to be announced." Set times are getting announced on Monday so I would assume we would know by then.

[TerrancePryor]

Got tickets for both days. Gonna rule.

[rising_tied]

Fuckin stocked.. Im from CHICAGO and thiis is gonna be my first Music Fest type thing.. AHH haha and its so damn close

[julzayy]

I'm heading to Bamboozle from Chicago area as well! Are you gonna drive or fly?

I'm pretty excited.

[BBTL123]

this line up isnt as good as past years IMO.

does anyone know any of the "secret" bands playing, if there even is any.

im hoping for last minute good additions or good secret bands for a reason to go.

[tombarrett]

there's gonna be about 10 more bands added with the set times. plus 2 special guests i think but they're not gonna be announced until the day of the show.
no bands playing under fake names like past years.

[TerrancePryor]

I'm starting a pit for Lydia and Demi Lovato. Watch out!

[Mudkip]

I've been waiting all day for some set times and new bands to be added but it appears that the site has had a stroke.

[secthagoals626]

The set times were never even posted after all that fuss...

[Mudkip]

I know, dude. If they're not there when I get up in the morning, someone's gonna have to bleed.

[DBZGTom]

Its up now...

[Mudkip]

Its up now...

Guess no one has to bleed. xD

[Eldriario22]

thrice? i didnt see them on there



from what I hear hear, Journey is one of the Linc's special guests, and Seth Rogen is the other, and I also hear that Sunday's show gets done early because 50 cent is/ or was (see fall out boy tour) supposed to be headlining, but that's just what i hear...

Where did you hear all this from?

[rising_tied]

I'm heading to Bamboozle from Chicago area as well! Are you gonna drive or fly?

I'm pretty excited.
Im flying early thursday morning....

Shwayze same time as Attack Attack! and Hollywood Undead same time as Gwen Stacy AHHHH SACRIFICES

[Phil507]

Im flying early thursday morning....

Shwayze same time as Attack Attack! and Hollywood Undead same time as Gwen Stacy AHHHH SACRIFICES

Why would you even think about spending any time with Hollywood Undead?

[Eldriario22]

Where did you hear all this from?

it's not gonna sound reliable but one of my friends trolls the bamboozle chats and stuff and they gave out hints about who they special guests are and other bands and stuff and apparently he met someone in a band in one of the chats that confirmed there suspicions, i mean it sounds fairly believable, 50 was at left and last year we had bret michaels which is sorta in line with journey, seth rogen's kinda random though, but aperrently they'll be officially announced before saturday anyways?

[rising_tied]

Why would you even think about spending any time with Hollywood Undead?
I liked them since they only had a few tracks on myspace. I know theres alotta people on here and well, everywhere that hate them, but I like them. The thing that kinda sways me toward Gwen Stacy is that Ive seen undead 3 times already and Gwen Stacy only once with this singer and once with the old one.

BUT I think ima hit up Cornerstone when Haste the Day and Gwen Stacy play... so ehh

[LOUDERnow7]

Does anyone know about fake names this year, I know that on the Bamboozle Myspace they are saying that there are a few of them. And, does anyone know who Lincs Special Guest this year because they are only having a 20-minute set.

[OMGitsAndrew]

There are rumors that the special guest is either Journey, 50 Cent, or Seth Rogan.

The only "fake" name is Band of 2010. The speculation is that it's A Day To Remember. They posted a bulletin on Monday stating " New Jersey!! See You Soon *cough cough*" It's a possibility but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

That is really an odd mix of "special guests". The only one that makes remotely any sense is 50 Cent because he was playing some shows with Fall Out Boy. Other than that, I really doubt that Journey is playing and Seth Rogan would be just plain weird.

[OMGitsAndrew]

Seth Rogan said something about Bamboozle on his twitter. Something about a suprise.

Bamboozle gave out numerous hints saying the guest is from the past, played MSG and other arenas, and Dont Stop Believing.

I could definitely see 50 Cent playing, as he has played MSG and the fall out boy tour is Believers Never Die.

People think the Band from 2010 could also be either AvA or Blink, since they said something about Jimmy the Pimp Macbeth.

If Blink played I would be INSANELY jealous of my friwnds that are going...

[despairfactor]

it cant be blink bc the used is playiing durring that time. BOTH are 2 of my all time favs

[TerrancePryor]

Gwar and Third Eye Blind at the same time. Fuck.

[schaft0620]

theres something from Pete Wentz and A guy from all time low on Seth Rogens twitter I bet his going to introduct them or something

[Miss Heartcore]

Pretty sure it's been proven that Seth Rogan's twitter is fake.

[i_saidgoodday]

"May 1, 2009 12:57 AM

Who is going to be at the State Farm stage @ Bamboozle?

Sunday May 3rd between the times of 6:35-7:05?

You may just see all of A Day To Remember.

On Stage.

With instruments.

And music coming out of amps.

Performing as the alias "BAND OF 2010".

TAKE A HINT!

BE THERE!!!! :) "


yeah so they just confirmed on a myspace bulletin that they're playing sunday. so pissed i got saturday tickets.

[Eldriario22]

yeah they were confirmed for a signing too a couple days ago so it was basically confirmed then too

[RiCCioLi]

Bamboozle sucks now a days. Between the $150 tickets, all the 14 year olds, secrete performances, aliases, hoodwinked, same exact line up basically every year, and the sea of parents I opted to skip for the first time this year

[Phil507]

You're probably smarter than me (seeing as I'm way too old to go) but I still begrudgingly go ever year.

[Phil507]

Also, can someone please tell me why A Day To Remember is special enough to be a "secret band"?

[tombarrett]

Also, can someone please tell me why A Day To Remember is special enough to be a "secret band"?

took the words right out of my mouth

for anyone that cares, the 'band of 2010' was changed to a day to remember on the set times

[BBTL123]

anyone know or think if motion city is playing?

[kelly120384]

we have two tickets for sunday - we'll be attending tomorrow's show, but something came up and we will not be attending sunday - please respond ASAP if you are interested in buying our tickets - $80/both.
thanks!

[Phil507]

Anybody taking the bus from the city tomorrow? You probably should take it early as I heard that they stop running them a little bit after the event starts (which I believe is 12 noon)

[cscwell107]

Any hoodwink setlists?

[fowruok]

This is the first year since 2001 that I haven't attended either Bamboozle or Skate and Surf. Maybe I'm too old, but there's really not much on this lineup (besides some older bands like Get Up Kids, Face to Face, The Ataris, NFG and newer ones like Locksley, Owl City) that do anything for me.

But they'll continue to make their money, so there's really no incentive to change it.

[domotime2]

Any hoodwink setlists?
check the "hoodwinked!" page.

[domotime2]

okay im BACK FROM BOOZLE! lets see what we got to talk about...

Cash Cash - haha actually pretty fun. I dont know the song titles...but, if you're going to be flamboyant at least go all out. not bad.
Ednas Goldfish - Only ska band of the weekend, other than scotty dont, so you have to take it for it is. Very decent but fun ska, good skank circle to go with. Again, not familiar with song titles so i cant do set list.
Push Play- I was passing by and saw a cover of "Hot n Cold"...cute.
INTERNATIONAL SUPERHEROES OF HARDCORE- Very fun, very funny, great set. They played all the songs you'd expect...Madball/Back to the future/screamo gotta go/ebay. etc. Id love to see them again. Crowd was a little "meh" though.
Bayside- Duality/Boy/Walking Wounded/Devotion and Desire. And like three more...im only familiar with their latest album. I love baysides voice, but i cant hear it live, and its a shame. It was a good time, but im not as familiar with the songs and wasnt really feeling it as much as i could have.
Patent Pending- I missed most of it but they played all the basics plus 2 new songs. MC hammer is playing bamboozle. These guys are getting a bit bland for me.... perhaps its due to the fact that ive seen them 12 times, hah but they're set is never changing. They put on a good show every time and they're always having a lot of fun.
Bloodhound Gang- Did someone say TURN UP THE FUCKING MIC!? Wow...i couldnt hear the lead singer for shit, and it killed the set for me. I loved the song choices... Uhn Tiss/Roof is on fire/Chasey Lain/Vagina/Foxtrot/Bad Touch...but i just couldnt hear anything. The stunt of the lead singer chugging, puking, and drinking it again was classy haha.
Jon Lajoie (comedian)- VERY FUNNY. Me and my friend were just sitting around with nothing to see, so I remembered the comedians at boozle and luckily there was one on. And this guy was actually legit funny, great attitude and all that, thumbs up. Probably the biggest surprise at boozle for me.

then there was nothing to do...Gavin Rossdale played a few BUSH songs, and thats about all I saw. It was time for batting cages what?

NFG- Were these guys the celebrities of the weekend or what? They're just always playing A+ sets...and the crowd is always into them no matter what. Hoodwinked they were amazing, ISOH funny, and NFG perfection. Set list..again pretty typical.... all downhill from here/hit or miss/understatement/intro/failures not flatterin/forget my name/my friends over you/kiss me/Sincerely Me! good set.
Cobra- I liked them better last year..idk why. What do you think they played...ha. oh and he didnt thank the girl from the sounds..very bad.
Asher roth- Vanilla Ice of 2009 baby.
Get Up Kids- I wont judge them..i never got into them, i saw them, but ill leave it at that.
horrorpops- SHES SO COOL!

and then i saw monkeys sit on dogs and run around in circles. haha <3

time for lincs special guest...

A Journey Cover Band (you've been bamboozled)- It wasnt really Journey folks, but stil very cool and fun.
Third Eye blind- Ive seen them before but tonight, wow, were they high? Could they drag out the rock out solo, jumper, semi-charmed life any longer? holy crap. These guys were high they had to have been.
Fall Out boy- Main event. I was tired. I stayed for a bit....they did this whole "political, upper class, economny thing" which i didnt understand at all. Over my head. the crowd wasnt as pumped as i expected, like their luster is dying? Im not sure what it is. No plethora of screaming girls. They were tight though, cant complain.

sunday is a much more fun day...but saturday was a great day too.

What was the FOB rant about?

[SandManTEND13]

I don't understand the comment of TGUK's? I mean did you not like them?

[yoyostring]

razia's shadow was very very very cool. such a cool show.

[MikeYabs]

It was actually Journey, and with Steve Perry back on vocals too. Fucking awesome.

Razia's Shadow was great too. Also, check out Wicker Hollow tomorrow (today). I saw them on the Zumiez stage and they rocked. So seeing them again.

[Chiodo]

lol it wasnt steve perry it was that filipino dude.. but awesome nonetheless.

shwayze, journey, cage the elephant, set your goals,3eb, were the highlights of my day.

Tomorrow will own today though

It wasn't a Filipino dude. The guy was clearly white. I was right up front. Plus I googled pics of Steve Perry and it was him.

And for the Bloodhound Gang, it wasn't the lead singer who did that, it was the bassist. But later on the bassist did puke in the lead singer's hat then the lead singer immediately put the hat back on.

[domotime2]

I don't understand the comment of TGUK's? I mean did you not like them?
as in its unfair for me to judge. like to me the set was very "meh". but thats because im not into them....but im sure Get Up Kids fans have a different take on it.

[avengedtbs]

And it was definitely not the Filipino singer, I found images of him, and there is absolutely no chance it was him.

[DaTBoiDaN]

Who were all of the guests for Razia's?

Fred Mascherino I know. I have a pic with him, and I asked him what he was doing there.

[ramomcferno]

Saw Bush...I mean Gavin Rossdale that was pretty cool!
The Get Up Kids-Were great as expected
Journey was pretty sweet but I wanted to hear Open Arms.
NFG was SO GOOD
Third Eye Blind were pretty great but I am glad I caught their headlining tour too. You should do so as well.
Fall Out Boy was so awesome! My set of the night. I guess you had to be all the way up front hanging with your new best friends to dig the itensity.
ISHC were so fun! I'll never forget to wear MY SEATBELT SEATBELT!
Patent Pending were pretty fun.
Cartel was cool! It made me fall in love with Burn This City how this didn't occur sooner I didn't know.
Metro Station were alright from afar.
We the Kings are so catchy it was cool to hear their Jimmy Eat World cover and Skyway Avenue live

[raptorz44]

Wow apparently it was Journey...I should have gone yesterday.


Anyone have any videos or reviews of Razia's Shadow?

[Chiodo]

And it was definitely not the Filipino singer, I found images of him, and there is absolutely no chance it was him.


dude it wasn't steve perry. if perry got back with journey it would be much bigger news

[SandManTEND13]

Thanks for the set lists! any more set lists?
Still I am shocked if that was Steve Perry
and I really want to hear more about Razia's Shadow

[mattbp]

Good first day. All Time Low, NFG, ISHC and Set Your Goals were great.
Fall Out Boy's setlist was kind of shitty... I wish the played more songs
from under the cork three and their first cd. Anyways. I'm looking forward
for today even tough it's raining.

PS: Hi to Hayley Williams, Cassadee from Hey Monday and the blond girl
full of tattoos at set your goals.

[avengedtbs]

dude it wasn't steve perry. if perry got back with journey it would be much bigger news
Ok that's fine. But it was a 50+ year old wihte guy. I'm not saying that it was Steve Perry, but it was not the Filipino guy.

[Chiodo]

Ok that's fine. But it was a 50+ year old wihte guy. I'm not saying that it was Steve Perry, but it was not the Filipino guy.

yep.
just saw this article and you're right:
http://www.nj.com/entertainment/music/index.ssf/2009/05/journey_at_the_bamboozle.html

so it was either steve perry or the band wasn't journey at all but a cover band

[raptorz44]

the guy from the cover band it supposedly is looks EXACTLY like Steve Perry

[Chiodo]

ok unfortunately i think it was infact a cover band last night.

this looks remarkably like what we saw:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkAEruOfapg

[blimpcityhero11]

Did FOB play all of "Hey Ya"? If so, WTF? haha

[anomaly519]

Anybody who went and didn't see The Get Up Kids has something severely wrong with them

[TMS2787]

Did Kid Cudi no show?

[Chiodo]

going in a little late today. the fun starts at about 4:10, and from that point on in succession im going to see Silverstein,sum 41,hollywood undead, face to face, the used, ADTR, zach galafinakis,and end the day out with rise against and TBS

CARTEL PLAYED SETTLE DOWN!!!! THEY NEVER PLAY SETTLE DOWN!! That is one of my favorite songs and they didn't play it the two times I saw them. :-(

[atticusfinch]

is it sad that I care more about whether this Hopler interview went down than who played Bamboozle?

[hailthewarrior]

Can I just say that this is a fantastic Cartel set... I love it. I mean, Lose It and Perfect Mistake could be tracks from the EP or Chroma, but still, it's understandable why they're played.

[SandManTEND13]

Did Kid Cudi no show?
he showed, someone I think in the other Bamboozle Thread said he caught the last two Cudi songs

[ohstumbleine]

Who were all of the guests for Razia's?

fred mascherino, dave melillo, casey crescenzo, greta salpeter, sierra from versaemerge, dan young, and bob morris.

[andrewshungry]

the fall out boy/all time low/cobra/hey monday sets are the same sets they're playing on the tour. not really surprising, but i'd be kinda disappointed if i had gone to bamboozle and seen exactly the same thing

[dX927]

so who was "Wonka's Best Friends" today?

[yoyostring]

ace, forgive durden, and valencia were incredible..best of the bamboozle in my opinion

[Chiodo]

so who was "Wonka's Best Friends" today?

yeah, who was wonkas best friend?

anyway, when we got there my friends and I first decided to check out Scotty Don't. Fucking great music and band. We also saw the whole fight in that crowd unfold, pretty funny stuff.
After that we checked out some silverstein, but we'd seen them many times before so we left a little early to get a good spot for sum 41. Sum was great
After sum we saw hollywood undead from afar. I only knew undead, but thats a decent song, and they sounded good.
After this we saw a little bit of the used, who sounded really good. Then we headed over for ADTRs set, they had a lot of energy and pumped the crowd up a lot like usual. After this we saw rise against who were great like usual.
The highlight of the day was TBS' set. My first time seeign them and I loved it. everyone was into it and it was a good setlist.

[hiya]

so who was "Wonka's Best Friends" today?

it was mercy mercedes, they tweeted about it. i have no idea why they needed a secret name.

[ohstumbleine]

favorites of the entire thing were ace enders, lydia, the get up kids, and forgive durden.

[TSLROCKS]

it was mercy mercedes, they tweeted about it. i have no idea why they needed a secret name.

Hahaha that must've been some surprise

[ablueskytragedy]

It was good, especially for the last bamboozle. Word is, (and I have a VERY reliable source) it's going back to Skate And Surf in Asbury Park next year.

[Im Felling this]

honestly i had so much fun over the weekend that i only remembered one set list. The line up looked so weak but it really was a good time.

Suicide silence
intro
unanswered
lifted (new)
bludgeoned to death
wake up (new)
the price of beauty
(new song)
no pity for a coward

they were soooooo good

[fowruok]

I've been hearing that for years. Frankly, it makes little sense.

The 2005 show in Asbury Park was a nightmare. Anyone who got shut out of the main stage several hours before the headliners during the second day can attest to that. Furthermore, the necessary schedule changes for the third day pitting Flogging Molly against Alkaline Trio and My Chemical Romance against Bouncing Souls also were pretty lame as well. This was a situation unique to Asbury Park and I'm sure Bamboozle's promoters wouldn't want to take a chance of something similar happening again.

Also, they certainly make a ton more money in East Rutherford. Why move it to a location where the capacity is reduced by 4x or even more?

That said, I'd be very interested to see how they'd pull it off if it happens. What I could see more is a scaled down Skate and Surf Festival (in conjunction with, not replacing Bamboozle), perhaps with fewer "scene" bands, such as The Get Up Kids, Sunny Day Real Estate or Face to Face, to headline. That's probably just wishful thinking, though.

Edit: This is directed to the post two above mine.

[phoenixinflames]

Did FOB play all of "Hey Ya"? If so, WTF? haha

They tried, and they fucked up half way through, but decided to keep going...honestly, it was aweful.

[phoenixinflames]

ok unfortunately i think it was infact a cover band last night.

this looks remarkably like what we saw:

[panicbxmb]

Can anyone confirm all the guests that actually performed Razia's Shadow?

I know there was Casey Crescenzo, Greta Salpeter, Chris Anaya, Fred Mascherino, and that random Ciara chick.... who were the others?

I was like 100% certain that the dude singing Brendon Urie's part in "The End And The Beginning" was actually him, but nobody agreed with me.

[George-Michael]

Bamboozle sucks now a days. Between the $150 tickets, all the 14 year olds, secrete performances, aliases, hoodwinked, same exact line up basically every year, and the sea of parents I opted to skip for the first time this year

Haha, I always debate going every year, but this is always what I imagined, hence why I haven't been. I've just always pictured the negative aspects of warped x10. Tonight I went to NOY/STD/ALK3 in Massachusetts and I think I made the right decision.

During No Doubt, Gwen Stefani climbed halfway up the right side of the stage during "Just A Girl". Then she made all the guys sing just that line. It was pretty awesome. Attached is a decent picture from my phone, I wish I had my camera.

[MikeYabs]

Did anyone else see Inward Eye? They were one of the best sets yesterday.

[jaimej]

Anyone have a list of the special guests for Forgive Durden? I know most but wasn't sure who 2 people were.

[Mudkip]

Bands I saw:

Day 1-
Cartel
Sing It Loud
Fireworks
Attack Attack!
This Time Next Year

Set Your Goals
All Time Low
Fall Out Boy (Their pit was so much fun. Anyone who was in/near it and has pics, put them up.)

Overall, fantastic weekend. Almost hit someone in Brokencyde with a water bottle.

[fowruok]

Also, did anyone notice Adam through in a bit of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" during "A Decade Under The Influence"?

That's pretty awesome -- I really enjoy "Skinny Love". Also, thanks for those set lists, Phil. You saw everyone that I would have if I had held on to my tickets (except swapping TBS for Locksley).

[jaimej]

Fred Mascherino I know. I have a pic with him, and I asked him what he was doing there.

Dude fucking RUINED Max's part.

Stoked that Casey was there though. His part gives me chills. I saw him and Thomas standing together earlier in the day and pointed at the two of them and was like "this... I like this." Haha.

[Phil507]

Ha, you're welcome. Sunday actually was pretty miserable up until the nighttime. I was by myself, cold, and just generally annoyed with everything. Once Rise Against hit the stage everything seemed to be fine.

[meroki22]

I was expecting this year to be the worst yet. But after all was said and done I ended up having more fun and being way more satisfied than the 3 years before.

How were Fireworks and TTNY? did they draw decent crowds?

[Mudkip]

How were Fireworks and TTNY? did they draw decent crowds?

They were both amazing. Fireworks had a pretty good turnout. They played a bigger stage. TTNY were on a smaller split stage and had a good crowd in relation to that. They were near the portapotties so whoever was waiting to pee got to hear them too. xD

[KyleMcr]

Also, did anyone notice Adam through in a bit of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" during "A Decade Under The Influence"?

Wow, wish i was there...... Anyone get this on video?

[Miss Heartcore]

Stoked that Casey was there though. His part gives me chills. I saw him and Thomas standing together earlier in the day and pointed at the two of them and was like "this... I like this." Haha.
He was the only reason that I would consider missing Third Eye Blind's set. Major hearts for Casey.

[atticusfinch]

god dammit some of those setlists are amazing, especially the get up kids <3

[TheFallenAngel]

These are the bands I saw

Day 1:
Edna's Goldfish

NOTE: Lighting was TERRIBLE for Taking Back Sunday and not good at all for Rise Against, Vision of Disorder, Hollywood Undead, and The Acacia Strain. My apologies for not getting more photos of them.

[Chiodo]

yeah there were no sweet lighting effects this year like they had last year for coheed

[Mibabalou]

what did taking back sunday and rise against play thanks guys !!

[futurebreed]

yeah there were no sweet lighting effects this year like they had last year for coheed

Well it wasn't even so much that as them relying HEAVILY on strobe lights instead of actual steady blues, greens, and yellows in the lights. Strobes are a photographer nightmare. If you catch one, it blows out the picture. If you don't, you get a black photo with no lighting whatsoever. Total nightmare, and TBS's set had the worst lighting I've seen for a big band in 5 years of doing photos.

[Mibabalou]

nvm they were already posted found em

[takeastepbackk]

I was really hoping TBS would play Timberwolves at New Jersey. But, as per the usual, I left disappointed. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the set, because I did. Also, The Get Up Kids set was the set of the weekend. I didn't think I was going to enjoy No Doubt because I thought I didn't know much of their songs..turned out I knew almost all of them and I had a blast. Other notable bands who were great: Bayside, Set Your Goals, NFG, Hit the Lights, Bless the Fall (one of the better live performances), The Get Up Kids, Third Eye Blind, No Doubt.

[Hainzey X]

Also, did anyone notice Adam through in a bit of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" during "A Decade Under The Influence"?

the " i asked you to be patience. i asked you to be kind '' part ? wow that's fucking awesome. i was wondering what that was. sweet !

[Miss Heartcore]

Pretty sure the crowd made a universal groan when they didn't play Timberwolves.

[avengedtbs]

Pretty sure the crowd made a universal groan when they didn't play Timberwolves.
I was right up front and everyone was chanting for that song at the end, and it did sound like they groaned when they started playing MakeDamnSure.

[Phil507]

Pretty sure the crowd made a universal groan when they didn't play Timberwolves.

I think most people probably couldn't care less.

Also, not that I like them much at all, but that Boys Like Girls set was terrible. Martin is the classic case of letting success get to his head. He basically just yelled his songs the whole time, acted like a complete d-bag. Someone needs to remind him he's in a band called Boys Like Girls who, once they stop getting CHR/Top 40 hits, will fade into obscurity.

Didn't even bother with them. It's their third year in a row playing Bamboozle with the same damn cd. No care ever.

Definitely the worst set I checked out this year. They played 5 songs... and had a 40 minute set. It was absolutely terrible.

Hey, someone else my age was there. Cool!

[likelastnight]

i was screaming great romances the whole time during TBS but that was a no go either, THAT wouldve made my entire life to have heard that live for the first time in yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears

[becky711]

Hey, someone else my age was there. Cool!
haha, we were few and far between, it was either teenagers, or parents of the teenagers ;)

[TerrancePryor]

Did anybody else see Travis McCoy during No Doubt's set? I was standing in the back and then all of a sudden him and his boys came and stood next to me. Haha. People were bothering him for autographs.

[takeastepbackk]

haha, we were few and far between, it was either teenagers, or parents of the teenagers ;)

I made that observation as well. I felt so out of place sometimes. Then during TGUK, it was all kids around our age. Most of them were holding beers. It made me feel good inside.

[tombarrett]

i was screaming great romances the whole time during TBS but that was a no go either, THAT wouldve made my entire life to have heard that live for the first time in yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears

i was praying that they'd play that. hopefully they will on the tour

[Phil507]

haha, we were few and far between, it was either teenagers, or parents of the teenagers ;)

Yeah, though chances are, I pushed in front of people my age right before No Doubt to get up close (yeah, I was that guy). My excuse is mainly "hey, I want get in the middle of the riff-raff so let me get out of your way" to anyone who wants to stand peacefully in the back.

Nice dude. Great pictures. I was on the stage during Fireworks' set, and I actually saw you right before The Get Up Kids went on. I recognize you from shows in Boston. I'll give you a shout next time I see you.

oh word, thanks! definitely say hey sometime if you see me around

[atticusfinch]

Did hoplergate go down or what?

[rising_tied]

Show was hella dope...
Hypercrush, Attack Attack!, Dance Gavin Dance, Our Last Night, Asher Roth, LMFAO, DJ Skeet Skeet, 3OH!3, Hollywood Undead, My Chizzle My Brizzle, No doubt, Motionless in white (first time hearing of them), Enter Shikari, INEPT (gotta rep CHICAGO), A Day To Remember

Bands I heard from a distance when I was waiting for other bands or bands I accidentally saw.
International Superheros of Hardcore, Sum 41, Family force 5, TBS, a few more and sadly I got dragged by my peeps to Brokencyde so I decided to act an ass and crowd surf... Then others followed.

I missed Haste the Day and Gwen Stacy which i was super looking foreward to, but at least now I got the Scream the Prayer tour and Cornerstone coming up

[CursedCarolers]

....only...one pack...of Kazoozles left...

slight...addiction. Damn you Bamboozle!!!

[Miss Heartcore]

....only...one pack...of Kazoozles left...

slight...addiction. Damn you Bamboozle!!!
hahahaha So terrible and necessary at the same time.

[CursedCarolers]

There must be something addictive in it. Or maybe it was just the fact that they were shoved in my face every 20 min for 3 days. I don't know.

Someone in my music class had one on their desk and i flipped out and she handed it over cause i think i might have been foaming at the mouth. maybe. They're not even that great, why do I love them so much? It makes no sense :(

In other news I came here to post that Bamboozle 09 was a success. The Get Up Kids are still awesome. Seeing New Found Glory 3 times in 2 days without a single repeat song is very nice. No Doubt was pretty awesome. I got the crush that I had on Gwen Stefani when I was like 6 back.

[domotime2]

this was by far the best bamboozle i ever attended (4 out of 5 boozles). This bamboozle offered artists that I dont normally find at bamboozle, and let me catch a variety of acts that I would never normally pay to see live...but they were there, so I got to expand, and it was amazing.

there will be no headliner greater then no doubt (that include blink or green day or radiohead). Maybe there's a generation gap here, but when I was 8 and tragic kingdom came out, it was one of my favorite albums...but i was too young for shows back then, so for me to see a band that i liked when i was 8 live..was truly epic for me. And they played AMAZING, so tight, so cool, SO much fun. Plus, its a band that you dont see at these kind of festivals too often. Sure, is blink and green day awesome? Of course...but ive seen both those bands many times, and its just not the same feeling.

Other AWESOME notables-

- NFG covering GDay was another dream come true. Did you guys SEE that set list? holy crap! So much insomniac, dookie, and angus soundtrack? haha. If green day ever played that set, they'd be gods again.

- Billy Talent, was freaking awesome. Kinda digged the new song. First time i saw them live.

- International Superheroes of Hardcore are hilarious. Any song that starts out with screaming Marty McFly is automaticall numero uno.

- To go along with that..it was definitely a NFG weekend. From Cartel, to NFG doing GreeN Day, to NFG doing NFG, to ISOH. These guys are uniquely refreshing in the music scene.

- The Love Willows are so freakin' cute. They should tour with MIKA.

- I wish more people liked the Sounds at bamboozle :(. I love that new song, and i was the only one dancing in the crowd.

- Bayside got a lot of points this weekend. Their NOFX set was on cue, like Fat Mike would be proud. Obscure set too.

- I like the variety of acts at boozle this year. That includes Demi Levato. We had a stage that included Cash Cash, Face to Face, Demi Levato, Taking Back Sunday, Ataris, Ednas Goldfish, Journey (cover band), No doubt? Thats really cool.

- Boozle will never repeat the greatness of this year. Hoodwinked was clever and a lot of fun (big headache to try and see everything)

[domotime2]

ahh...

- The used was dissapointing to me. I havent seen them in four years, and I dont know...maybe their suckyness is catching up to me. Perhaps Ive been leaning on their first album for far too long.

[CursedCarolers]

this was by far the best bamboozle i ever attended (4 out of 5 boozles). This bamboozle offered artists that I dont normally find at bamboozle, and let me catch a variety of acts that I would never normally pay to see live...but they were there, so I got to expand, and it was amazing.

there will be no headliner greater then no doubt (that include blink or green day or radiohead).

I agree with almost everything you said here. I dont know the Love Willows and Sounds though but everything else you said saved me a lot of typing.

I agree with some of your points. I actually had a much better time this year than last year (even though I was by myself both days). No Doubt was great (sorry to all those people I shoved in front of as they were starting, I was just trying to get to where the kids were jumping around and out of your way if you just wanted to stand and watch). However, I think the best Bamboozle set I've seen was Linkin Park's headlining set two years ago. They just proved how much more professional, tight and proficient they are then all the other bands.

NFG is great but Jordan just....can't....sing....live. Sorry, but they need to stop relying on studio trickery to get those high notes.

Rise Against was a lot of fun, I thought Hero Of War was great in the rain.

3EB doing Motorcycle Drive-By was beautiful on Saturday night.

I was really stoked to hear FOB lean heavily on their new album. I'm sure many opted to whine afterwards "ZOMG! NOT ENUF TTTYG!"

Finally, I think they need to move the soundboards back a little bit or figure out something with the over-crowding at the mainstage. If you want to see a band there you shouldn't have to stand so far to the side.

[rising_tied]

....only...one pack...of Kazoozles left...

slight...addiction. Damn you Bamboozle!!!

Yea those things were pretty bomb EXPECIALLY the pink lemonade one

[chris522]

Best and Worst of Bamboozle 2009...

best use of capes and masks - ISHC - so fun to see the NFG crew dressed up - their costumes are pretty ridiculous - jordan's cape basically looks like a robe tied around his neck with NFG on the back. they were really fun to watch.

best hometown performance - Bayside - always put on a good set, big crowd on the main stage.

best set of day 1 - easily NFG - so high energy, crowd was so in to them, great setlist.

worst set of day 1 - cobra starship - i love this band, but 6 songs in 35 minutes - are you kidding me. here is the complete cs setlist (i know a partial 1 was posted earlier)...

city is a war
talking about peoples birthdays
smile for pop
talking about his dance moves
kiss my sass
talking about all the people he knows
pete wentz
talking about samuel L jackson, more people, etc
bring it
talking, talking, talking (i am not listening any more)
guilty pleasure

i love their music and if gabe had just shut up, they could have played church of hot addiction!

best set of day 1 with a boring crowd - get up kids - what a great band and great setlist - the crowd just wasn't doing anything. every time i started moving around at all people gave me dirty "you are going to spill my beer, i am watching a band here" looks.

worst accessory of the day - swine flu masks - so tired of hearing about it, so tired of seeing them

best swine flu line - all time low singer says "i am so tired of hearing about swine flu, there are so many more important things in the world... like herpes... that is on your penis, and that is forever". all time low played a good set, glad to see the return of the party scene.

best arena rock performance - fob of course - so good with the crowd - was disappointed they dropped the take this to your grave song they have been playing toward the end of their set, but hey ya was fun in the encore.

best set of day 2 - billy talent - so amazing - high energy, good new song, crowd was amazing.

best costume of the weekend - 2 kids with teletubby costumes in the pit with us at billy talent - even had little ponchos over their costumes - so funny.

band that should be ruling the world, but not enough people are listening to - Valencia - such a good set - if you don't know this band you should check them out and see them live. both singer and guitarist came out into the crowd during the last song while people from hit the lights helped them out on stage.

worst crowd surfer - 40+ yr old, 250lb+ fell on my head twice during the used set! if you are that big just keep your feet on the ground!

most amazing performance moment of the whole weekend - tbs singer climbing 40 feet up in the air on stage scaffolding to sing the final chorus of Make Damn Sure UPSIDE DOWN HANGING BY HIS KNEES - it was raining, i was pretty sure he was going to die.

also saw ataris, sum 41, rise against, hit the lights, and no doubt which were all fun. the comedians they had were hilarious - hope they will have them again next year. Lots of fun, can't wait for next year!

[MikeYabs]

best costume of the weekend - 2 kids with teletubby costumes in the pit with us at billy talent - even had little ponchos over their costumes - so funny.

Saw them crowd surfing during Bloodhound Gang, and then moshed with them during Dance Gavin Dance. Definitely the best costumed duo there

[julzayy]

Yea those things were pretty bomb EXPECIALLY the pink lemonade one

ahhh, i disagree, I didn't like the Pink Lemonade ones, I was all about the Berry or whatever they were. hah.

[julzayy]

So, it was my first Bamboozle. Drove out from Chicago as my friend is a huge Get Up Kids and Face to Face fan and he had never seen either band live.. and I liked a lot of bands playing.

Even though it was a super long drive, it was well worth it.

We saw:
Saturday:
Edna's Goldfish, Bayside, Bloodhound Gang, We The Kings, Boys Like Girls, New Found Glory, The Get Up Kids, Parkway Drive, GWAR, and Third Eye Blind.

Sunday:
The Ataris, 3OH!3, Sum41, Haste The Day, Hollywood Undead, Inept, American Taxi, Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, No Doubt, and some of Family Force 5, The Maine, and Tinted Windows.

A nice mixture of bands.
I'd say my favorites were Edna's Goldfish (I had never seen them before), The Get Up Kids, and Face to Face. I enjoyed the crowd for The Get Up Kids because it wasn't crazy, but I didn't appreciate some of the kids there not even paying attention and just looking around and texting the whole time. And it was my second time seeing Face to Face, and although I was never a big fan, I enjoyed their set and the fact that they're back playing shows.. they said they'll be playing more shows on the east coast soon, I hope they make it out to the midwest, or another road trip may be in order.

Anyway. that's all I have to say about that.
overall, it was an amazing weekend.

How can you be 23, like such awesome music like Edna's Goldfish and Rise Against, yet attend We the Kings, 3oh3, Hollywood Undead, and some of the other shitty bands you listed? Taking a little cousin around with you I hope..?

best use of capes and masks - ISHC - so fun to see the NFG crew dressed up - their costumes are pretty ridiculous - jordan's cape basically looks like a robe tied around his neck with NFG on the back. they were really fun to watch. I caught a bit of this, this did look cool.

best hometown performance - Bayside - always put on a good set, big crowd on the main stage. Great job from Bayside, as always. Great band.

best set of day 1 - easily NFG - so high energy, crowd was so in to them, great setlist. Good set, not the best.

worst set of day 1 - cobra starship - i love this band, but 6 songs in 35 minutes - are you kidding me. This band is atrocious, not sure how someone could love them.

best set of day 1 with a boring crowd - get up kids - what a great band and great setlist - the crowd just wasn't doing anything. every time i started moving around at all people gave me dirty "you are going to spill my beer, i am watching a band here" looks. They played some relaxing songs.. there's nothing about TGUK that makes me scream pit.

worst accessory of the day - swine flu masks - so tired of hearing about it, so tired of seeing them Yea, kind of ridiculous. Worse: the t-shirts!

best swine flu line - all time low singer says "i am so tired of hearing about swine flu, there are so many more important things in the world... like herpes... that is on your penis, and that is forever". all time low played a good set, glad to see the return of the party scene. Sounds like a Tom Delonge line, which makes sense coming from Alex. Didn't catch their set, I just couldn't take any more pop at that point.

best arena rock performance - fob of course - so good with the crowd - was disappointed they dropped the take this to your grave song they have been playing toward the end of their set, but hey ya was fun in the encore. FOB seemed ok.. left kind of early, again, could not take any more pop.

best set of day 2 - billy talent - so amazing - high energy, good new song, crowd was amazing. Great set, stoked they'll be back with Rancid and Rise Against.

best costume of the weekend - 2 kids with teletubby costumes in the pit with us at billy talent - even had little ponchos over their costumes - so funny. Yea, pretty funny. Worst: that dude dressed as a pirate..

band that should be ruling the world, but not enough people are listening to - Valencia - such a good set - if you don't know this band you should check them out and see them live. both singer and guitarist came out into the crowd during the last song while people from hit the lights helped them out on stage. Good band, not necessarily a great set (the first few songs I caught). Sound wasn't too good, so maybe that's it, because they normally slay live.

worst crowd surfer - 40+ yr old, 250lb+ fell on my head twice during the used set! if you are that big just keep your feet on the ground! Seriously. I'm about 190 and six foot, and I don't crowd surf. When you're more than 200lbs you have no business in the air, how many people can bench even close to that, especially in a festival filled with preteens?

most amazing performance moment of the whole weekend - tbs singer climbing 40 feet up in the air on stage scaffolding to sing the final chorus of Make Damn Sure UPSIDE DOWN HANGING BY HIS KNEES - it was raining, i was pretty sure he was going to die. Awesome. He did it last Bamboozle, too. His voice sounded better upsidedown this year than it ever has in the last seven years the band was together.

also saw ataris, sum 41, rise against, hit the lights, and no doubt which were all fun. the comedians they had were hilarious - hope they will have them again next year. Lots of fun, can't wait for next year! I didn't get to the comedians, because of time conflicts, unfortunately.

Good writeup !

[ACA]

holy lol

Perhaps a slight exaggeration, but that was easily the best performance I've ever seen from TBS. Most certainly not one of the best setlists, but the band doesn't suck live anymore. It's crazy.

[ACA]

Show was hella dope...
Hypercrush, Attack Attack!, Dance Gavin Dance, Our Last Night, Asher Roth, LMFAO, DJ Skeet Skeet, 3OH!3, Hollywood Undead, My Chizzle My Brizzle, No doubt, Motionless in white (first time hearing of them), Enter Shikari, INEPT (gotta rep CHICAGO), A Day To Remember

sadly I got dragged by my peeps to Brokencyde

They're no worse nor better than a lot of bands you mentioned such as Asher Roth, 3oh3, or Hollywood Undead..

Hey did you happen to get the whole Billy Talent set? I'm not good with song titles and I'm missing one or two songs. Stoked for the new album.

TBS was good and I'm glad they don't as many TAYF songs that all the morons scream for. That album is good but some of that shit just hasn't aged well. Adam has gotten much better live over the years. I think Matt Rubano will now be doing more of the stage banter as the new guy seems a little shy.

[Phil507]

They're no worse nor better than a lot of bands you mentioned such as Asher Roth, 3oh3, or Hollywood Undead..

I was only familiar with that one 3oh3 song and, after reading the AP article, and hearing that hey both had high GPA's, I was expecting them to be a bit more irreverent, clever, sarcastic, witty on stage. Instead, they just milked the crowd with the lowest of lowest common denominator stage banter. Totally pathetic and I can't believe people embrace this garbage. And to think of all the hate Good Charlotte used to get, at least they were genuine and humble.

Devil in a Midnight Mass

Devil on My Shoulder

Fallen Leaves
Red Flag

The set was super awesome! The new song sounded really great can't wait for III. I also can't wait for them to return with Rise Against, that show is going to be so awesome. Hopefully the tour or new album can boost them to the mega status they deserve to have here.

You saw the Get Up Kids and Hollywood Undead. Who the fuck are you? Also anyone who saw Hollywood Undead instead of Zack Galifianakis is a fool.

[bloodandshutter]

Agree with Meroki22. Not sure why anyone would watch Hollywood Undead especially when Zach Galifianakis was on. HU is probably the most contrived, manufactured band ever besides that Brokencyde shit.

in my opinion best sets were Get Up Kids, Face to Face, Galifianakis, Brian Posehn, Yuto, Rise Against and Gwar. I am sure i missed some other good ones though

I posted a lot of my pictures from bamboozle here (http://bloodandshutter.com/tag/bamboozle) and here (http://www.latenightwallflower.com/site/tag/bamboozle/)

also a highlight of some of the bamboozle fashion trends...eh hem 'f swine flu' shirts etc. here (http://www.latenightwallflower.com/site/2009/05/04/bamboozle-2009-fashion/)

$39.50. Buy them through the Rise Against pre-sale or from the Irving Plaza box office. Otherwise, you'll have to go to LiveNation.com where you'll be charged a $13 service fee.

again, listen to asher's mixtape before you judge off one lousy song

$39.50. Buy them through the Rise Against pre-sale or from the Irving Plaza box office. Otherwise, you'll have to go to LiveNation.com where you'll be charged a $13 service fee.

fuck, missed your quote somehow, and missed the presale.

I don't know about $55+ for this show.

CARTEL PLAYED SETTLE DOWN!!!! THEY NEVER PLAY SETTLE DOWN!! That is one of my favorite songs and they didn't play it the two times I saw them. :-(

Can I just say that this is a fantastic Cartel set... I love it. I mean, Lose It and Perfect Mistake could be tracks from the EP or Chroma, but still, it's understandable why they're played.




That setlist isn't entirely accurate, they played "Luckie Street"...

Cartel played the first eight songs off of Chroma minus Save Us, Lose It, and a song off their upcoming CD.

I was just saying that Asher Roth isnt a band as you put it. Then I said you can think they are as bad or worse than Brockencyde but to each his own.. I like the genre that HU 3OH!3 or Hyper Crush fall into although you obviously dont. IMO, brokencyde is fucking aweful and doenst compare to the others I named AT ALL

And to the other dude...I didnt know there was a Hyper Crush Mixtape.. I only got The Arcade CD

If you're in the city anytime soon, just go to the Irving Plaza box office. I don't think this show will sell out (especially at that price)

Yea, quite expensive for a punk rock show.
