Warped Tour 2016 Festival • Page 57

I thought AFS was good in 06, but I agree on HH in 07. They were much, much better at Warped 2013. As for worst I've seen:

Brokencyde in 09
some Metalcore-ish band on Ernie Ball in 05. Not sure if they were a local winner or what, but man it was AWFUL.
I See Stars in 2013 was pretty bad. They didn't even try to hide that seemingly everything besides the vocals was completely backtracked. Guitarists riffing like crazy during synth parts lmao
Senses Fail was mediocre last year. Buddy's voice is just shot live. I've seen them at Warped 4 times though and they never were that great. 2012 was probably the best I've seen them.

 

I'm curious as to who has had the biggest/smallest crowds on each stage. My guesses for each would be:
Left Foot-
Biggest: Falling In Reverse (unfortunately)
Smallest: American Authors (possibly to soon be replaced by Tsunami Bomb)

Right Foot-
Biggest: Sleeping With Sirens
Smallest: Pepper

Monster North-
Biggest: Motionless In White
Smallest: The Color Morale or Wage War

Monster South-
Biggest: Chelsea Grin
Smallest: coldrain or From Ashes To New

Poseidon-
Biggest: Knuckle Puck
Smallest: The Heirs (soon to be taken over by Prof)

Cyclops-
Biggest: Chunk or Against The Current or Waterparks (with how much AP has been pushing them)
Smallest: Sykes

Full Sail-
Biggest: Broadside (probably soon to be taken over by SayWeCanFly)
Smallest: Mother Feather

Feel free to play along, can anyone confirm or deny any of these?

 

Left Foot:
biggest: Sum 41, Falling In Reverse
smallest: Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish (unfortunately)

Right Foot:
biggest: Sleeping With Sirens
smallest: Pepper

Monster North:
biggest: Crown The Empire, Motionless In White
smallest: The Color Morale

Monster South:
biggest: Chelsea Grin
smallest: Cruel Hand, coldrain

Poseidon:
biggest: Knuckle Puck, I See Stars
smallest: The Interrupters, The Heirs

Cyclops:
biggest: Against The Current
smallest: Sykes, Ballyhoo!

Full Sail:
biggest: Broadside, Like Pacific, maybe Cane Hill
smallest: Dash Ten, Old Wounds, Mother Feather

 

Wage War had a decent sized crowd in Camden and they were the first band on the stage. Well-deserved too it was a great set.

 

I only went to one date but

Left Foot

Biggest-Falling in Reverse
Smallest-Pepper

Right Foot

Biggest-Sleeping With Sirens
Smallest-Tonignt Alive

Monster North-

Biggest-Motionless in White or Ice Nine Kills
Smallest-Color Morale

Monster South-

Biggest-Chelsea Grin
Smallest- Most of the others were drawing similar

Poseidon-

Biggest-Knuckle Puck or Roam
Smallest- The Heirs

Cyclops

Biggest-Chunk
Smallest-Sadly Teenage Bottle rocket

Full sail

Biggest-Broadside
Smallest- Reckless Serenade or Bad Seed Rising

 

Wage War had a really good crowd for playing that early, I never listened to them before but they killed it. Vannas crowd was pretty tiny

 

I have them as one of the few bands on my early predictions

 

I think I'm going to Holmdel on Sunday for the first time (depending on $$$), how's the venue?

 

If Beartooth or blessthfall play next year would they play monster. I know both are smaller than Motionless in White, who got moved from main to monster this year

 

If they keep this year's format, I would say yes. It now seems that Monster is a main stage for heavy bands and Journey's is a main stage for everything else.

I say that because in any other year Atreyu, Bullet For My Valentine, Motionless In White, and Crown The Empire would definitely be on main.

 

If they do the stages the same way as they did this year BlessTheFall would absolutely be Monster. Beartooth is harder to really tell, they could be like what Issues is this year. A band that caters towards both the heavy scene at Warped and everyone else.

 

Personally I'd like beartooth on monster, along with Blessthefall they are usually the heavy bands I like. The other heavy bands I'd like to play Norma Jean, Arch Enemy, Impending Doom. I can't see those last two ever playing warped. Norma Jean seems unlikely enough

Did Lyman not say on the webcast TGI would be mainstage next year?

 

Ones that come to mind are Hit the Lights in 2009 and Reliant K in 2011. Nothing terrible, but both pretty forgettable.

 

I think it's a rumor. I interviewed Travis on the phone a couple weeks ago, and they seemed very full-speed-ahead in their approach after putting out that Greatest Hits record. He said they have a lot of international fans and they want to keep expanding.

I did hear from a friend though that Mayday Parade and Four Year Strong both seem like they're winding things down.

That's a shame. Both have been staples of this scene for quite a while. Isn't Mayday still pretty popular?

 

Best parts of my day was helping out broadside and meeting Pvris again for my 6th time

 

Oh, for sure. I think it's more of the fact that a lot of them have wives and families now.

 

I don't think they will. They played on the main stage for most of last summer. They have done very well branching out. They're already opened up for FOB and they're playing Lollapalooza.

 

I think we'll see The Ghost Inside, Beartooth, Attila, blessthefall, Neck Deep, Black Veil Brides, August Burns Red, Silverstein, Never Shout Never, Bowling for Soup and Memphis May Fire.

I don't see the tour straying too far from bringing back stuff from the 2013/2015 rotation.

 

Ghost town told me they r leaving fbr and going independent but don't spread around

 

TDWP hasn't played in a few years. Hopefully MC Lars or Watsky is on. I guess more familiar faces but reaches would be Echosmith(if they are doing music again),PVRIS,PTV.

If only BFS would do full tour

Off the top of my head, some may be wishful thinking.

Maybe Relient K,Family Force 5, Hawthorne Heights,Atari's, Goldfinger, Say Anything, We Came as Romans, Emmure, Underoath, Koo Koo Kanga Roo.

 

I feel like with the right label pushing them they would blow up. Yet I can't determine which would be best may Hopeless.

 

True plus they have a song with David from bc I been wanting to hear for years and they almost had a song with Travis McCoy but fell thru cuz label stuff I think

 

I feel like they should be lucky to be on FBR.

 

I used to be big into FBR. But it seems they do better with already established bands. Nothing against the label, Paramore is my fave band but it seems the label has fallen off.

I could see Ghost town doing well on Redbull records as well
