I wanted to hear some stuff from The Unraveling, but sadly nothing was played.
They closed with "Give It All" (big surprise). Most of the stuff was from Siren Song of the Counter Culture. They started out with "State of the Union" and the "Black Masks and Gasoline" from Revolutions Per Minute.
Rise Against: They played toward the end of the day but had tons of energy, and were one of the top three bands as far as getting the crowd into it. Anti-Flag: All I really picked out was "Rank and File," but they had a ton of energy, crowd participation and stopped their set mid-song to tell the security guards to take it easy on a kid they then used the averted violence to show how easy it is to talk through problems and how maybe our leaders should pay attention to that. The only song I could pick out was "Tomorrow Belongs to Us." I wish more of the "let me swing my microphone in around a bunch and wear mascara" crowd would watch and learn from these guys. The Causalities: I miss pretty mohawks and the lead singer looks like he stole part of Shane McGowan's dental work, but but they were amazing. WARP TOUR JACKSONVILLE DOWNLOAD
The best part however, was when they told the crowd to go home and download all their music because music should be universal like water and air. I haven't picked up A City by the Light Divided so I didn't know many of the songs, but they played "Understanding in a Car Crash" and a couple other songs off War All the Time.
Thursday: They played a great set, good stage presence. Senses Fail: I only knew the Bon Jovi song (" shot through my heart"), but they had some good energy and the lead singer got the crowd worked up, so good for them. The thing that saved them was crowd participation, seeing as how this was pretty much a hometown show for them. A couple of songs off their new record, which meant no horns (bad) but at least the horn guys shot T-shirts and toilet paper with huge leaf blowers into the crowd. They played the "Gainsville Rock City" song and maybe one other one. Less Than Jake: Not enough songs off of Hello Rockview. I did pick up "Bad Reputation" and "I Love Rock and Roll," however, my hopes were immediately crushed as it was pointed out that most of the (kids) there probably knew the song because Britney Spears covered it. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts: Well, she works out a lot, and almost had a wardrobe malfunction which would have put her in the "Sweet" category, but there wasn't a lot of energy. Played "Hopeless Romantic," "True Believers" and "Sing Along Forever." Maybe it was too hot, maybe they were too tired, I don't know, but at least their lead singer got in the crowd some. Bouncing Souls: I wanted to like them more. 
The only thing that saved them was their bass player looking like Kumar, especially when Kumar was in "Van Wilder" and he talks about parking the porpoise.
Saves the Day: One song off of Through Being Cool!â¦ONE ("Rocks Tonic Juice Magic")!!! They played "At Your Funeral" and "Firefly" and some other crap. Among other songs, they played "Capital H," "Make Out Kids," "Lg Fuad" and "The Future Freaks Me Out." Motion City Soundtrack: I liked the energy on their first album, however that energy did not translate into stage presence and they were sloppy as hell. Every Time I Die: The singer had white boots on, but I wasn't feeling their type of music. They should have played a cover of "Margaritaville" while I sipped a daiquiri, unfortunately I don't drink those and it was Warped Tour. These guys have a violin, Yellowcard has a violin. ZOX: They might have ended up at the wrong concert for all I know. The only songs I could pick out (of the four or five they actually played) was "Bob" and "The Brews." The only thing that saved them was letting some kid propose to his girlfriend. 
NOFX: Sorry, but they spent the first five minutes teasing the crowd with playing the entire "The Decline," and then another five minutes shooting the breeze.Pretty much each band mentioned this during their set at some point. Some of the crowd was actually into the band despite the horrible barrier set up at Metco Park.įirst of all, the barrier was a good 30-40 feet from the stage and in between the two main stages it jutted out another 10-15 feet so nobody could get anywhere near the stage. I got a Davey Havok vibe from the lead singer as he was wearing a long-sleeved mesh T-shirt and long black hair. Supposedly they are going to be the next big thing, but I didn't really feel it. Gates opened about 12:30 and the first band to hit the main stage was Aiden. The day dawned hot and sticky as it usually does mid-summer in the south as I packed up a couple of friends and made the two-hour drive to Jacksonville from Savannah.
