I went to Warped Tour a few times in high school, like 12 to 14 years ago, but I would imagine I wouldn't fit in very well now. The only band I'd really care to see from this year's lineup is Less Than Jake. 95% of them I've never heard of, though.

I'd imagine 95% of the bands that play warped tour these days are pseudo-death metal and nu-emo.
The days of "skate punk" reflecting the kids today is over. Not that I give a crap.

Fuck an A Kreator's on tour? I'm mad butthurt that Slayer tickets are $80.
Stumbled upon a Y&T concert on the boardwalk a few weeks back. Last show I deliberately went to was Godflesh a few months back. They totally killed it!

I think I qualify as a geezer and attend a lot of metal shows in NYC, CT and MA. I'm usually the tallest guy there if you want to shoot the shit 
Might hit the Kreator show at the Palladium if my schedule allows. Haven't seen them live in a while (1998 @ Dynamo I think). Pleasure to Kill is always in the rotation! Their latest DVD "Dying Alive" looks pretty good based on some clips I've seen but I haven't had a chance to watch it in full yet.
Speaking of DVD's, the Morgoth DVD is fantastic.

ha. no you wouldnt fit in well. I was there with my sister, other brother, wife, and father. Not exactly our usual crowd.
And less than jake was pretty good.
you are correct. gutteral throat noises of pain and angst from white suburban kids.
My brothers band didnt even belong in that crowd- they are kind of like if Muse and U2 had a baby. Whats interesting is that there was no crowd when they started, but when they started playing using real vocals (read: not screaming) and grooves with non power chords the crowd built up pretty big. Go for the noise because its trendy, but they still get pulled in for good tunes. They were the one of the only bands like that there.

Well, it's good to know that when I make baseless assumptions they still turn out to be correct.
Also, screaming > singing

They are. I saw them and ISIS live at a small shitty venue in Birmingham, AL. Despite the bullshit venue they rocked the house.
Have fun!
EDIT: Goddamn, I just realized I haven't even been to any semblance of a concert since Halloween 2011. Pretty Lights, Nashville, TN.

I'd far prefer to see Less Than Jake circa 1996-1998, but I'd settle for seeing them now if I ended up at Warped Tour for whatever reason. I would hope they still mainly play their hits from Pezcore, Losing Streak, and Hello Rockview. I honestly haven't even listened to their last four albums.

I REALLY wanted to go see Spoon this month but none of my geezer friends are interested. I had one friend that would have wanted to go, but he A) still owes me money from the last shit we did and B) had tickets to 2 different Tom Petty shows just days from the Spoon show. Bah.

Morgoth's Odium was so awesome, I know it's no cursed nor eternal fall but damn it I love it! That's the last album I've heard, around 20 years a go I think.I think I qualify as a geezer and attend a lot of metal shows in NYC, CT and MA.

Kreator, the super amazing no cheese riffs, no cheese crap, always ready to destroy everything! Hope to see you there!
I went and saw Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden and The Dillinger Escape Plan last month at Virginia Beach this past month. TDEP wound up replacing Death Grips(dropped off/retired) which act wound up being good thing. The show had plenty of energy and great sets. Got a chance to go to the beach and walk the boardwalk the next day. They still had a Flipper McCoy's so me and my bro played a few games.

Haha. If you told the 14 year old me with his Under The Running Board EP or Calculating Infinity that you were from the future and you saw DEP open up for Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, I would have believed the time travel story over the line up of that tour.
Boy times have changed. Back then, the Soundgarden and NIN crowd usually weren't down with a band like DEP.
Probably still aren't, but apparently some booker thought so. DEP fell off years ago anyways, so I shouldn't be surprised.

That band (DEP) sounded fucking horrible. If I was to see NIN and Soundgarden that is the last band I would want to hear open.
I went and saw Phish a couple weeks ago with no opening act and it was pretty incredible.
Yeah i was surprised to see Death Grips on the tour until they backed out/retired https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcjhJLcIDOA
Even NIN and Soundgarden on the same bill seemed strange as it always seemed in the media that they did not get along. The show turned out great with everyone putting off lots of energy(i also thought the NIN show was a little better than the last tour when they had a bunch of backup singers(it was good diff but i wanted the original)
Im really glad The Dillinger Escape Plan came on the tour though as i hadn't had a chance to see them(the crowd didn't really do much but my trio went crazy!!!

They're coming to Boston, but I'm pissed that Low is on all of the dates on the tour except Boston's.
Cool. Give me Dimitri or nothing.
