this is such bull crap! no GC, BFS, GreenDay?!?!? those bands are the reason I go to Warped Tour! now that they're gone I'm so not gonna go!

for those who ask "where is the punk?" i have this response:
dropkick murphys
Millencolin
No Use For a Name
Offspring (remember the old stuff?)
Strike Anywhere (one of the best punk bands)
Strung Out
plus, Thrice, Silverstein, Tsunami Bomb

So yeah, no Rancid, NOFX, Bad Religion, AFI, Green Day or Pennywise, but still enough great bands to make it worth your while.

I agree that no one said that warp had to be punk, but its not like there isnt any we got Mest, The All-American Rejects and The Explosion im sorry to say no AFI but for that will just have to grit our teeth.

Posted by: Anonymous on March 15, 2005

Ummm..... there is plenty of punk in this line up. besides its Emo-Screamo and Post Hardcore that is "in" right now. But I wish that blink would get back together and play at least in san diego. what this line up is missing:

Blink 182!!!!!
Anberlin
Spitalfield
Bayside
Lola Ray
Nofx
New Found Glory
The Vandals
Over It
Yellowcard
No Doubt
Melee

the most important ones are ANBERLIN AND MELEE!!!

I have no problem with the bands this year. They arent completely famous, so there will be less people. people usually go c the bigger bands. now there will be less people, and its gonna be better. so stop complaining.

Posted by: Anonymous on April 01, 2005

Not enough good punk this year, but what the heck, I'm going. Warped is TRADITION. I can see how a lot of punk bands might stay away though, what with the proliferation of emo this year and last, though. No Casualties? Ah well. Warped is always fun.

Who cares if the bands are punk or not punk. Punk is just a label. I'm just glad there will be a lot of good bands there. I'm disappointed that Green Day and Good Charlotte won't be there but Simple Plan and My Chemical Romance will be there so that rocks! I can't wait to go. It'll be my first time ever going to Warped. I hear IT ROCKS!
Come on July 30th!!!!
