(not much there but whats there rules)
So how about a little clarity,
whatchoo got
whatchoo need?
clarity.
I don't know where thats from but it sounded familiar. It seems to me that my last journal entry was a little unclear. But anyway I got a few hours
so here is my tale of my day at the vans warped tour.
First thing to mention is that one of our friends got all uber-excited cuz she thought the bands that we wanted to see drew first so we had to get there early to see them. I don't know how she thought that she knew it but she was all get the fuck up early and get there at 10 so we can get in at 12 and get a spot for 1 when the bands start. So when we acctually get into the park we learned that the first band we wanted to see ... well I didn't care to see em... yellowcard.. wasn't on till 2:30 and the second band Rufio wasn't on till 3ish.
then during yellowcards set the dude who runs warped tour said hey play for an hour cuz the line is still really big outside and we want to let the kids in line get to see the show too. So I was like fuck Im going over to Rufio if they are giving them an extra half hour to compensate.
turns out no... only Yellowcard got that extra half hour. The band before rufio some stupid old school punk band. To me it all sounds the same.. sorry old school punk fans just my opinion all the more too ya if thats what ya dig. But anyway their set got cut off and stopped and so before Rufio came on they had to finish their set then Rufio waited another 10 minutes after me and one of our friends were waiting there for a bloody half hour already. ick. Bathroom break was there too and let me tell you the porta poties are not so cool.
So after that we caught Story of the Year and they were fucking amazing. So much energy and so much fun. They were doing stupid shit and laughing about it and the guitar player did this awesome backflip kick thing while playing guitar. So cool. I have more respect now for Story of the Year after that one.
After SOTY was Alexisonfire. Sounded like they put on a good show. Someone got hurt when they said to get a circle pit around the Vans tent going. Can't say that was a surprise... but they handled it the usual way and said the cool "There is no reason for anyone to get hurt this isn't about how tough you are or how strong you are.. thats bullshit this is just about having fun" word alexisonfire..word.
After that we caught int. noise conspiracy and then rested and then I saw Silverstein while the rest went and saw Coheed and Cambria. I had already seen C&C 3 times and had never seen Silverstein so I made that choice based on that and Silverstein blew me away. They even played a new song. but now I fucking fucking hate Boysnightout. They were next on the stage beside them and they were sound checking during the quiet part of Bleeds no more by Silverstein.. WHAT THE FUCK!!! thats so ignorant.
So after Silverstein kicked my ass I caught Thursday and Taking Back Sunday WOW!!! though I couldn't see much of TBS I hung out with our bass player and sang along people were getting annoyed at our smart assed comments and singing while I was singing good he was singing off key. "I think people were annoyed by that" "Good, thats why Im here." hahah what an awesome guy. TBS was really cool to thank everyone for showing up too.
Side note: Before Thursday Good Charlotte was playing. Now I don't like Good Charlottes music but I think it showed a lot of character by those guys to keep playing even though ignorant fuckers were throwing bottles at them. They didn't even bitch about it. They played to the people that liked them and Im sure they had fun doing it. I don't know why the fuck people go out of their way to let others know the bands that they don't like ... if you don't like it tune the fuck out and let those that do like it enjoy it.
Anyway after TBS everyone wanted to leave but I was like dude I gotta stay and check out Avenged Sevenfold another band that I had never seen before and was starting to get really into.. so our bass player said hed stay and check em out with me.
this is where the past journal entry comes into play kinda. I ran by the infamous CD store girl... with her boyfriend. By the way her name is Rachel. I should have given a name maybe ... cuz since we have a past its not like I didn't know it or know shit about her. Some of you thought it was just a random crush but its not... theres this whole fucked up history about me getting my heart broken ... but anyway I looked over at her and she looked back with the most sour look I have ever seen in my life. It made my heart sink. Bass player asked me about it and I couldn't really give him all the details but now he does know what a few of the songs I've written have been about.
so yeah I guess she is pissed at me for something.. but if anything I should be the one who is pissed .. right. women.
So we checked out A7X and WOW!!! ..well kinda. Their sound was fucked. M. Shadow's mic was turned up too loud and whenever he screamed it would crunch and warble and crackle annoyingly and hideously. But they still played up to their best and made me think they are possibly one of the best live bands around. The dude who runs warped tour got on stage before their last song and said "I don't wanna sound pretentious but guess who's gonna headline warped tour 2005 avenged sevenfold ... you wanna hear one more song" hahaha wow. They closed with unholy confessions a song that is still in my head. Its just too bad that a friend of mine has my A7X cd.
so thats the warped tour story. good bands, bad look from rachel .. gotta put this demon to rest now don't I ... but warped was still an awesome experience although I will say this. Being short in a sea of tall people trying to see a band FUCKING SUCKS!!!
music: A7X - Unholy Confessions
mood: Im going to see Summerslam today and then get up at 5:45AM to go to work.
