Speaking of going to the pits, how about the warped tour? i've never been to it, but i am thinking of going this year, despite having the worst lineup i think it's ever had. I decided to do some research and look how it has deteriorated since 2001...this may be a lot to read but its actually just for my own personal release of frustration...
This is based on the compilation cds made up every year, which includes many of the bands, because it's hard to find the actual lineup. I'm listing the bands that i would want to see.
2001: Must See: New Found Glory, Midtown, No Use, The Ataris.
Would Like To See: Bouncing Souls, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Living End.
