Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Allright... how to start this off? Well Sunday was the day where the Warped tour did their last place to go, that would mean that they would play even harder compared to the other places they went.

While waiting in line to get in, one of the bodyguards pointed at me and said to one of his friends: "I told you Michael Jackson would come back!!!" x_X That was real bad... he said it cuz of my afro. (lol yep I have an afro, pay me 1$ to pet it =P) Cuz of him, I was known in the warped tour as MJ. xD

A few friends from school came there with me along with my best buddy, and they gave us a spot to be further in line, and finally we were able to get in the parc and see some of the bands playing, but the GOOD bands would start playing at 12, so we walked around during the meanwhile, found out that they put sand infront of the big stages for the future trashes to come, we drink some 'Monster' to get ourselves energized and checked out the stands for the T-shirts and free stuff they gave (CD samplers, stickers...)

Doing so, we were seperated from the group. -_-'


In the beginning, the warped tour was rather boring... there wasn't any good bands playing, no trashes to be seen... meh, my friend and I were pretty bored.

We got to see Helmet play, they were pretty good and there was a trash... but it lasted like, 2 minutes and it ended.

We had to wait until 4pm to see good bands play.


Motion City Soundtrack:

They're not really good... but there was some trashing and bodysurfing, so we joined in the fray. I tried to do some crowdsurfing but those feeble humans dropped me and I landed on my back! mad Yet it was fun to tackle a few people, especially when it was me and some dude in the circle pit, tackling like crazy xd

The drummer tossed his sticks into the crowd, and I was the lucky one to grab hold of it, along with another one. I pulled like crazy, but then some girl grapped it and we were 4 trying to grab the stick, (my friend was there to help) but it lasted like 5 minutes, pulling pulling pulling, but no use. -_-

I let go, my friend as well and the other dude did the same. The crazy girl got the stick.

If it was Billy Talent or another good band I knew, I would of ripped peoples arms... twisted

Rise Against:

Ok... we went to see them, but holy cow, it was a trash, it was more like a wave. The whole crowd was pushed to the side, infront, backwards... it was mega impossible to move on your own or jump, you were squeezed in the crowd, and recieving kicks from the crowdsurfing people. -_-

The music was really good despite all of that.

Billy Talent:

If there was another wave like in Rise Against, my friend and I would of gotten out and look at the band play from a distance.

We waited until Billy Talent got in stage and they started with the first song on their new CD ---will edit---, followed by the second ---will edit---.

It was a wave, no circle pit... so we tried to endure it...

They played Line And Sinker, a song that I know (don't really like the Billy Talent II album) and other songs that I forgot... but they ended with Try Honesty.

-------

After that show, we had to get something to drink... the dust was all on our face and nose... and mouth... it was nasty -_-'

And we finally found our friends! *insert celebration dance here* Then we decided to rest on the hill right until Anti-Flag started playing at 8pm, and it was around 5 or 6.

The thing I was pretty bummed about was we missed Casualties, NOFX and Bullet For My Valentine. (the latter isn't really good... but still, we missed the trash)

-------

Anti-Flag:

The last show of the night... and it was actually pretty good, and best of all, NO WAVE!! xd It was a circle pit. We jumped, yelled out... wow I forgot what we said... -_- and trashed! We made a huge circle pit because the band said so, and wow it was ******** insane... it was like Lamb Of God, but REALLY BIG!

Almost died there...

Anti-Flag said that all of us in the whole world, we were a family, brother and sisters, despite religion, color n stuff like that, and everyone shook hands with the people beside them. How touching... 3nodding

And the show ended after 2 more songs.

The things that I bought there was a 5$ wallet and a 10$ T-shirt. I had 80$ on me, so subtracking the drinks and stuff I bought, I had 60$ left on me and I was pretty amazed of myself... pirate Last year, I spent all of my money on the 2005 tour.

In overall, it was good. Got to see bands that I never heard and new bands to like: Anti-Flag and Rise Against. I even got the autograph from a member of The Casualties just for fun.
