That's true, I wouldn't pay to see them on their own tour unless the support kicked ass, but i do kind of want to see them at least once, so this works out great for me.
Revocation: Gay. I thought these guys were decent from what I've heard of them but live they were really boring. The Jack Black stage banter was lame as fuck too. LOL HE SAID GANGBANGING A DRAGON LOL ROFL BRUTAL LEGEND
That's what I'd expect to hear from an indian nosed faggot.
I like six feet under 100x more than corpse. Also the crowd during hammer smashed face for six feet under was much more crazy.
When I first decided to give SFU a listen, I youtubed them and the opening riff was one of the sickest I've ever heard. I was like "all this needs is some awesome vocals for this to blow me away" then Barnes came on His vocals just seem lazy and uninspired.

I imagine it was Seed Of Filth. His vocals fucking blew for the past 5 years but they sound good again
TUPAC IS DEAD/THE LEGEND IS GONE/THEY SAYIN TUPAC'S BACK?/DEM NIGGAS WRONG
Definitely. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is literally nothing like their other albums but I guess a lot of people would consider that a good thing.
Instead of grooving Obituary-type death it's a lot more like The Bleeding
TUPAC IS DEAD/THE LEGEND IS GONE/THEY SAYIN TUPAC'S BACK?/DEM NIGGAS WRONG
I'll give Death to All a proper review later. For now, here's a quick review of Warped.
I only have one partial setlist, so this is mainly a (minimal) gig report
Due to my ride needing Starbucks and wanting one with a drive thru, we got on the free way at about 10 and didn't get to the parking of the venue until like 12 then finally got into the venue at a quarter to 1. Kinda bummed me out because I missed Railroad To Alaska and Polar Bear Club.
First band I caught was Funeral Party. They were pretty good. Didn't get much of a crowd reaction, but they were solid. The guitarist and singer had a good amount of energy, but other than that they weren't too entertaining to watch, but they sounded really good.
Next was Evey Time I Die, the band I knew the best and was lookin most forward to. They opened with Underwater Bimbos and the place erupted. Crowd surfers left and right and a constant push from the crowd. The band were energetic as could be and gave it their all. Their set consisted of *the hits. If it has a music video, they probably played it.

After some waiting, it was time for Streetlight Manifesto. They were a skanking good time! The band were full of energy and the crowd was tons of fun. The singer's stage banter was just mocking the usual stage banter and he was funny. Fun time!
Next was Anti-Flag. Try we're really fun and energetic. The crowd reaction was immense; they had people in the back singing every word and jumping up and down. They were fun and hearing some songs my friend always listened to during his punk days was cool.
Next was the best performance of the day, Hyro Da Hero. These cats were phenomenal. Everybody in the band had so much energy. You could tell they were having the time d their life, regardless of smallish crowd. They were almost like Dillinger in the way they moved around the stage like madmen. Hyro was an awesome front man, getting the crowd into it and just being over all super awesome. During their final song, Hyro got off the stage and into the middle of the crowd. Once the song started the crowd went apeshit and moshed hard. He went all around the outer stage area while rapping the song and was just getting into it. The crowd was absorbing his energy and spitting right back at him. That final song alone was probably one of the most intense, and intimate performances I've experienced. It's a shame the crowd wasn't bigger because that was a performance to remember. I'd love to see these guys again.
After that, I watched Transit for a song. It was the one with the music video of just them performing to a small crowd. They were pretty good and had a good crowd that were super into it. Once the song had finished, I went over to Pierce the Veil to see if I could meet up with my cousin. Unfortunately, by the time I got there they were half way done with their set and their crowd was fucking massive. So many scenie weenies. The band sounded alright but I only knew one song they played.*
After that both my ride and I ran out of bands we cared to see so we just took off early to beat traffic. First Warped was a fun time.*
Something I thought was worth mentioning; I saw hella many Iron Maiden shirts. Thought it was kind of odd, but awesome.
Funeral Party: 7.5/10 Every Time I Die: 8.5/10 Streetlight Manifesto: 8.5/10 Anti-Flag:8/10 Hyro da Hero: 9/10 Pierce the Veil: 7/10
This is like the 4th Warped Tour review I've seen, and none of them had a review for Senses Fail, After The Burial, Polar Bear Club or Four Year Strong. :-w
After the tradition of having dinner at Mel's, I, along with my dad and friend Alex, hopped on over to the regency for a celebration of one of the best musicians to have ever roamed this earth, Chuck Schuldiner. We arrived after doors had opened, but there weren't too many people, so we were able to snag some rail to the left of the stage. After talking it up with some fellow concert attendees, Gorguts started at about 9.
I really wasn't that big on Gorguts going into the venue. In my opinion, their first couple albums are good, but nothing grand, and I can't for the life of me get into their aclaimed album, Obscura. But when they started, I couldn't resist bobbing my head and getting into it. They sounded pretty great. Their heavy and frantic sound was pulverizing and I couldn't help but bang my head. It could've been because the bass was high in the mix or because I was in front of the bassist, but I could hear the bass loud and clear and the tone was delicious. All the musicians were really impressive, and Luc's vocals were top notch. After seeing Gorguts tear the place apart, I may have to revisit theirs studio works
Gorguts
After more waiting, the lights dimmed and the old school Death logo came from the projector and everybody showed their excitement vocally. The first batch of musicians came on and once they played the first few notes of Zombie Ritual, the place blew up. Hearing Leprosy was also a treat, as I got to show of my disco moves during the shuffle beat in the song. Eveybody on the stage played with full enthusiasm and were obviously having great fun. They obviously really cared about making this a great ode to Death and put in their all. When they weren't giving the metal face, a smile was present on every single musician's face. The first four musicians on stage were Charles Elliott, Steve DiGiorgio and the dudes from Cynic. I think Paul was probably my favorite musician the whole night to watch because he was just full of energy and was happy as could be to be playing these songs. He was running all over the stage, getting close to the crowd and shredding his way through the songs with a smile on his face the whole time. Everybody sounded great and did all the song justice. When Gene Hoglan hopped on drums for Suicide Machine, the crowd went wild. There was lots of love for Gene, and for a good reasonl; he's fucking incredible. I saw him in 2009 with Dethklok and was really impressed, but this performance blew that out of the water. He played like champ! Charles Elliott was also really good. Sure, his vocals are really guttural and aren't all that similar to Chuck's, but he was giving the songs a little of his own personality and he sounded awesome while doing it. Also, he's a kickass guitar player. A nice treat was Danny Walker playing drums on Secret Face along with Shannon joining the band. Wattching Steve was exciting, because he's one of my favorite bass player. The way he works that fretless beast is nothing short of magical. He sounded awesome the whole time he was up on stage, and his solo during the Philospher was one of the highlights of the night for me. And it was during that song that they switched vocalists. Although I was bummed that the guy from Obscura couldn't make it, Matt Harvey was an excellent replacement. He's an awesome guitar player and his vocals are great. When Scott joined in on bass for the second time, I knew they'd start playing material off the last two albums, and starting that portion of the show with Bite the Pain was great! That's one of my favorites songs of TSOP. The rest of that part of the set was fucking magnificent for obvious reasons(Symbolic and The Sound of Perserverance kick dicks!). Busting out Voice of Soul was really cool, not only because the song is beautiful but it was a much needed break from the insanity of the crowd during the set prior to that. There was a constant crowd push and and crowd surfers were abundant. They brought Charles and Steve back out and Craig from Forbidden joined them to play Living Monstrosity, which was sweet! That's one of the best songs from the Death discography. Then everybody got back on stage to play one last song. Although I was hoping it'd be Spirit Crusher, Pull the Plug was nice. It was cool they ended the set with one of the songs from the earlier portion of Death's discography. Overall, the set was probably one of the coolest things I've seen live and a great experience. Seeing some of my favorites musicians among other awesome ones playing some of my favorite music was an absolute pleasure. I'm so glad I got to experience this because I'm not too sure it'll happen that often after these five scheduled dates.
Only complaints about the show are (concerning band) lack of Spirit Crusher), and the Regency once again having stage left too low in the mix. I often couldn't hear solos too well unless the solos were really high up on the mix. Also, bass could've been higher in the mix. The more Steve I hear the better.
