Houston's Rememberances of Warped Tours Past

Craig Hlavaty July 2, 2009 2:47PM

"For the first couple of years at the AstroArena they held the entire show indoors, splitting the headlining bands between the arena itself and two side-by-side stages in the AstroHall. This insured that there was no rainout, and also insured that every band sounded like they were playing in an echo chamber. "NOFX played the arena stage at the end of the day, and announced that they were refunding their share of the day's ticket prices since it was supposed to be an outdoor festival and the sound sucked. With the help of the Aquabats, NOFX then threw $5,000 in cash over the entire floor and played their set to a room full of people scrambling like mad to get the money. "NOFX also announced that they'd be celebrating one of their birthdays that night at Emo's, but that they knew it wouldn't matter since nobody at Warped Tour was old enough to get in. "I also remember taking my little brother a few years later to see his first Mighty Mighty Bosstones set (he loved 'em), and during the show someone was fired out of a cannon over the audience. Some dude threw beer or something at [singer] Dicky Barrett, and he jumped offstage and chased the guy all through the entire parking lot. My brother asked if this was typical. I said, 'Kinda, except for the cannon.'"

"I went to the first one and had an awesome time. That whole show was indoors at the AstroArena. Fluf played first and just killed it, and yes, they played 'Peanut Butter.' I remember O telling me how excited he was to finally go to Astroworld. I just didn't have the heart to tell him it was lame. Seaweed was at the top of their game. Bob was still on drums, and they just killed it. Quicksand was awesome as well and Sick of it All was bitchin'. "As for the low points, Sugar Ray and local band the Jinkies (yuck). L7 played but it was the worst L7 show I have ever seen."

"That time when it got rained out a few years ago. I was thankful for that because that morning I had the most intense hangover I've ever had. "The next day's emasculated indoor Warped Tour was a huge clusterfuck with muddy noise throughout and for some reason I wound up sitting through Meg and Dia's set while looking for a friend who, come to find out, had been toking up with the Unseen. I was trying to find where Novista was playing so I could throw shit at them and make fun of their bassist for looking like a douche-version of Jeff Goldblum."

"I saw Social Distortion on the '97 tour in Atlanta. I remember Mike Ness telling some story about hanging out with his friends and running into groups of jocks or some other non-punk stereotype and getting into fights. He ended the story with: 'Sometimes we got our asses kicked . . . but sometimes we beat the FUCK out of 'em!' "Big cheer, song starts. The story was nothing but the punk version of canned stage banter and my brother played me a tape later on where he gave the exact same speech, right down to 'Sometimes we beat the FUCK out of 'em!'"

"Seeing Ice T and Suicidal Tendencies play together and watching Nazi skinheads get kicked out and them driving off in a big pick-up truck. The afterparty was held at the bar next to Lola's, where nobody showed up."

"I was selling merch, and unexpectedly, and to my horror, I split my shorts up the back when I bent down to grab a box of shirts. I will be forever in debt to the Surfrider Foundation, which was in the booth next to me. They gave me a sarong to tie around my waist. I still have it today."

"So I was waiting in the ticket line with my friend who will remain nameless. We were attempting to get the backstage passes that New Found Glory had left for us. (This was like ten years ago, and yes I'm a little embarrassed.) "When we reached the front of the line, we were told that NFG had canceled that date along with several others due to the singer's illness, therefore there were no backstage passes to acquire. We decided to regroup and figure out what to do. Ultimately we resigned to purchasing tickets. "While in our second wait in line my friend started to feel a little queasy. We had gotten seriously ham-boned the night before. So there we were waiting behind ten or so people in the scorching heat and my friend starts vomiting on the pavement, splatters and all. The people in line and within sight of this display were totally disgusted, some beyond words. "Then I heard somebody say, 'Sick, that dude just puked up a cigarette butt!' Sure enough, there was a bile logged butt that hadn't been on the ground prior to the incident. Gnarly, to say the least. At any rate, we braved the heat and tried to enjoy ourselves. It fucking sucked for the most part." "The highlight of the day was hanging out with Saves The Day in their tour van drinking warm beers and smoking joint after joint of really poor-quality weed. At one point we were talking about how stupid MxPx is, and they walked right by us."

Looking Back at The Best and Worst Lineups Seen In Warped Tour's 17 Years Of Existence

The Warped Tour has always had a lot of bands and a lot of different bands. Sure, you're not going to see these bands end up on any Pitchfork best-of, but the tour doesn't exactly play to people who decree most things in life as "meh," either. Even in its first few years, you could see a hardcore act play after a punk act, a ska act following a metal act, a legendary band next to a band with only an EP out -- and all in a single day. Indeed, this traveling circus has remained something that a lot of people look forward to every year. But not every year's lineup has been a slam dunk. When the Warped Tour lineups are at their best, they boast a healthy mix of bands that are for "the kids" (teenagers who look only a little younger than the band members onstage) and bands for the parents and older siblings to enjoy. So, in that vein, and with the 17th annual Warped Tour kicking off in Dallas at the Gexa Energy Pavilion in Fair Park on Friday, June 24, we decided to take a look back every lineup the festival's ever feature. After the jump, we present our findings for the best and worst Warped Tour lineups over the years. Agree? disagree? Feel free to leave a comment below. Or just go off on Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman if you see him at the event on Friday.

The Good 1996. When the tour had its inaugural year in 1995, you had bands like Face to Face, L7 and Quicksand performing around large-scale half-pipes filled with skaters and bikers galore. In its second year, this expanded -- both with the number of bands and with the "extreme sports" angle. Bands like NOFX, Beck, and Possum Dixon were on the 1996 bill. This was also the year that Pennywise played the tour for the first time, and they would continue to play the tour for many years after. Guitarist Fletcher Dragge once said that there's never a bad Pennywise show because the band always ends its sets with "Bro Hymn." Warped was always the perfect place to see that, too -- a large crowd of fans onstage singing their hearts out to one of the band's most poignant songs. Years later, the first handful of Warped Tours would be known more for their financial woes than much else, but the groundwork was still laid. And 1996 sure proved itself as a measuring stick for many years to come. 1998. Reverend Horton Heat, Bad Religion, The Aquabats, 22 Jacks, Deftones and Hatebreed -- and all in one day? You bet. Can't argue with that kind of diversity, given how popular ska, pop-punk and metal-tinged hardcore was at the time. The key to understanding why Warped felt more welcoming during these years is in how the majority of the acts appealed to such  broad age ranges. You didn't have to be 16 years old to get into Dance Hall Crashers or Rocket from the Crypt. Though pop-punk had become a mainstream identity in 1994 with Green Day's Dookie and The Offspring's Smash , there was still a very apparent punk aesthetic at this year's festival. When the pop aesthetic became more influential (especially in the wake of Blink-182's commercial success later in the '90s), things became more divided. It wasn't the Warped Tour's fault, necessarily. Personally, I blame all the teenagers who bought New Found Glory t-shirts instead of seeking out Social Distortion vinyl. 2005. This year actually featured a very good balance of bands that had been around (and weren't going anywhere) and bands on the cusp of breaking through. In many ways, it was a return to form. My Chemical Romance, Strung Out, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Thrice, The Dropkick Murphys and Circa Survive all together? Pretty cool. 2010. After a few years of up and down lineups in the 2000s (see below), 2010 had a lineup in the spirit of what drew a lot of different people to it in the first place. With Andrew W.K., Every Time I Die and Enter Shikari mixed with The All-American Rejects Alkaline Trio and so much more, this year proved a surprising treat. The Really Bad 2009. Listen: When you have 3OH!3, Brokencyde and Millionaires all performing on the same day, you're asking for trouble. Warped Tour has never strictly been a pop-punk, ska or hardcore clubhouse (Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, MIA, and Eminem all played it before they were huge), but when you get novelties like screamo and so-called "crunk" acts playing this thing en masse, people with refined tastes need not apply. And, very much so, 2009 showcased the major disconnect between generations of fans. Have bands like Pennywise, The Bouncing Souls and NOFX on a bill, and you're going to attract those who don't feel like they fit in with the mainstream culture. When you have bands clearly going for the brass ring of mainstream acceptance, like The All-American Rejects and My Chemical Romance, loyal attendees who used to go every year get turned off. To look at it another way, imagine if the Warped Tour took place in the '80s. Would you really want to see an all-day festival where DRI, Sham 69 and Youth of Today played with The Knack and Billy Idol? Cool in some aspects, but it's like all the jocks and preppies you hated at school showed up at your skate park. Even though a Warped ticket is still relatively inexpensive, the disconnect remains. Factoring a long day in the heat, do you really want to spend an entire day waiting for a couple of bands who can only play 30 to 40 minutes a day, when you could wait and see these bands come back to town and play longer -- and in a smaller venue, no less? 2011. Yes, it's great to have Against Me!, Lucero, Less Than Jake and Unwritten Law for the longtime attendees and the newcomers alike. But the number of polarizing acts greatly overshadows them all. Sure, there will be a number of acts who will draw very large crowds -- like 3OH!3, The Devil Wears Prada, and Attack Attack! But are these acts that have non-embarrassing futures in front of them? I doubt it.

Warped Tour: A Look Back in Photos in Honor of Its Last Hurrah

Last year, Warped Tour’s founder, Kevin Lyman, announced the end of an era: After nearly a quarter of a century, the monumental fest would make its “final, full cross-country run.” The news is now sinking in as a reality as the tour’s final date, August 5th, fast approaches. What’s been known as Vans Warped Tour since 1996 has equally officially been known as a place for aspiring alts trapped in the suburbs to flourish—one that just so happened to make history in the process. Warped Tour was not only a launching pad for Green Day, Katy Perry , Blink-182, and even Eminem; it was also a documentation of the birth of emo as we know it in the aughts, seen through its lineups’ shift from punk acts like Bad Religion, Rancid, the Casualties, NOFX, and Anti-Flag to bands like All Time Low, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday, the Used, and From First to Last—the latter of which featured one long-haired, screaming emo heartthrob Sonny Moore, now better known as Skrillex . In case you hadn’t noticed, pretty much all of the above feature almost exclusively white men—a lack of diversity that’s unfortunately continued into the 50-plus bands chosen to make up Warped Tour’s last hurrah. (Joan Jett is putting in her usual appearance, but Paramore’s flamed-hair Hayley Williams, essentially the only woman who managed to become a face of Warped Tour throughout its history, is noticeably missing from this year’s lineup.) Take a look back at that history, flaws and all, with the best photos of its glory days, including flashbacks to Perry’s guitar, Oli Sykes’s neck tats, Benji Madden’s snake bites, Jared Leto’s lipstick, Pete Wentz’s popped collar, Demi Lovato ‘s sweeping side bangs, and Jeffree Star’s infamous hot-pink mop, here.
