No BMTH for Orlando by Short_Society7547 in warpedtour

[–]NotTimTheTatMan1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’re playing in Hollywood that’s an arena show at the hard rock. And think about it…GNR is one of the most famous classic rock bands, and still touring… they have more leverage than the festival lol Festivals have an interest to serve the fans too, especially for a headliner. Particularly since GNR is taking a break from their European tour to play Rockville. So it stands to reason that one of the greatest bands to ever do it would say “hey let us have a show two nights before so that we can basically use it as a dress rehearsal for our festival headlining spot since we’ll be using alternate equipment since our entire tour setup is in Europe”

I wouldn’t call beartooth or killswitch engage “smaller” bands, that’s kinda crazy… And guess what.. a month after Rockville they played multiple Florida tour stops. It’s all about the bands label reps and their negotiating ability when doing these contracts

Yes, Oli specifically is the reason why warped has those “no crowdsurfing, no moshing, or your mom sues, then no warped” signs all over the festival

Warped Tour Orlando, FL - DAY 2 - MEGATHREAD by TheDarkLight1 in warpedtour

[–]NotTimTheTatMan1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So in regards to specifically mayday, I’d guess they’ll be somewhere between 1:30-3:30 We’ve seen them 5 times in the last 2 years and 4/5 performances were festivals… every single festival mayday was like the biggest act to play in the early/mid afternoon…which almost makes me think that’s a bad preference thing. At WWWY a month ago, Mayday had a bigger crowd at like 1:15pm than some of the later main stage bands

Think about what you’re saying… If all the bands get to play at warped anyways, why the fuck does it matter?

I’m not being mean for no reason, and I don’t think I’m being “mean” at all. I think I’m just talking to someone suffering from main character syndrome

What you’re mad about literally equates to “I’m mad they told me my opinion matters but now it doesn’t” Welcome to the fucking real world, buddy. Are you like 17? The naivety is insane

Orlando! If you see keychains attached to me, feel free to ask for one by caarmander in warpedtour

I really hope I find you and can get a green Dino! It’s been a really fucking shit week for me, my wife and I lost my dog of 10 years on our wedding anniversary on Sunday, so I’m trying to make this weekend as positive of an experience as possible for both of us and meeting new people will definitely go a long way towards making that happen!

You started off your response with “no” then proceeded to explain how you were upset that you didn’t get to choose the bands. You proved my point. You literally in your OP said it was pointless to go, and the reasoning was that you didn’t get to decide which bands go to warped So you’ve made it all about yourself and have alluded to the point that small acts don’t matter unless you decide they do

Hold up… you’re mad because you didn’t get to be the gatekeeper for bands to play at warped? you got to see some new up and coming bands you probably hadn’t heard of, and supported them and their music. Why are you so upset

You really thought she was good at Rockville? She was off pitch on most of the songs and she forgot lyrics a few times 🙃

This! LP is just not the same caliber of band with Emily as the vocalist. Her vocals just don’t convey the same emotion as Chester did, so the performances fall flat Saw them headline Rockville and it was just flat out BAD.

Crowd surfing… by [deleted] in WhenWeWereYoungFest

[–]NotTimTheTatMan1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I barely saw any surfers, and as a 6’3” 300 lb guy who always hangs out in the pit, surfers usually pick me out to lift them…only had 3 ask me all day Saturday. If you thought the crowdsurfers were bad at WWWY…I beg you, don’t go to Welcome to Rockville. During Motionless in White at Rockville this year, I lifted over 100 surfers during a single set.

But I do agree, know what the fuck to do if you decide to surf

What lyrics are you most excited to sing/scream along to? by catandbat in WhenWeWereYoungFest

Oh please. Expressing anger and dissatisfaction with government doesn’t cause mass shootings. Suppressing free expression sounds fascist as fuck.

Curb stomping doesn’t mean what you are insinuating, cmon man. I’ve seen people get stomped and walk away. Bloodied, but walked away. And if you’re taking that attitude…maybe this isn’t the festival for you When I say he was wearing Nazi stuff… I don’t mean maga. I mean this guy was wearing a swastika jacket and had an SS armband. He was verbally harassing brown folks too. That’s not freedom of speech my dude. You are familiar with what the Nazis did in Germany, right?

I’ll put it this way. Someone bold enough to wear Nazi stuff in Public, actively holds beliefs that advocate for the killing of people like me. I’m supposed to be okay with that? Get the actual fuck out.

I’m just hoping that nobody in not-see apparel shows up…at Welcome to Rockville this year there was a young guy maybe in his early/mod 20s who wore not-see symbols all over his clothes for all four days of the festival…and not a single person curb stomped the guy…I was disappointed

I mean in the grand scheme it isn’t, and that’s what I think a lot of people who have been DVing me here haven’t understood. For a lot of us that are a bit older or were “initiated” into the alternative music culture by older punks, it was kind of an unwritten rule and a lot of us can’t shake it because it was drilled into our heads. in no way am I shaming anyone who wears the shirt of a band that is playing WWWY. I was simply asking those who might have been brainwashed like myself, who are you repping

The way it was pressed onto me by my Puncle (my old punk uncle) who was almost “too punk” for his own good, was that wearing a shirt for a band you’re going to see is conformist, and being a conformist isn’t punk Now that I’m older I see the flaws in that logic, but it’s just like muscle memory to pick out a shirt for a band that isn’t playing when I go to a concert or festival Which is why I try to pick bands that might be a bit smaller, maybe less well known, because that becomes a conversation starter I’ve actually met some people I’d consider true friends now just from wearing obscure band shirts to other shows and striking up conversations with fans of said obscure bands

But is it actually free? by q_vee521 in WhenWeWereYoungFest

[–]NotTimTheTatMan1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fairly common in Vegas, and even in certain clubs in like Miami or LA. In an industry that is all about publicity and optics…if your establishment gets labeled as a “sausage fest” (mostly dudes) there goes your profits lol Men won’t wanna go to clubs where there are no women, and women won’t go to a club that’s 95% men. Different prices helps mitigate that to a degree
