I never had that one, but I'd have easily overplayed it just for Cherub Rock alone as it's my all-time favourite Pumpkins song! That solo would be fun.
What was my introduction to most Warped bands was actually the annual Warped Tour compilations! Continued to buy them in recent years because I knew I’d discover at least one awesome band I’d never heard of. Looking forward to whatever they’re gonna put together this year.. Of, my first one (2005) was the best one!
Tony Hawk games are what got me into music in the first place, guitar hero helped with old metal and then the warped tour comps have helped me to this day with finding new bands I like
I was introduced to the Bouncing Souls, Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, and Strike Anywhere thanks to Tony Hawk games. The Souls and Trio are bands I still listen to basically every day.
Along the same lines, I spent countless hours perusing PureVolume for the next big thing. Discovered so many bands through them.
Working on the draft now - give me about 20-30 minutes! I just got home, and am going to put some photos into the rollout. Stand by!
A lot of the Maddon games, Tony Hawk games and Rock Band/Guitar Hero got me into a lot of bands I like now

Rock Band actually introduced me to my favorite band, the Foo Fighters. Used to play Everlong a shit ton
I almost got furious about RBF making it and not LTJ and then realized they're only playing a few dates so that's fine Glad ETID is #1
Just checked out Story Untold's new album and they actually have some bops. Their first EP was honestly really bad imo. Stiff wannabe Green Day vocals, poorly produced/mixed guitar, and god awful lyrics but wow, they really got better. Their vocals sound like a stronger Alex Gaskarth, and the songs are really fun pop-rock jams.
It was a really nice surprise. Reminded me of a cross between new All Time Low and The Dangerous Summer.
All the songs on their album have grown on me since it came out, so they're one of the bands I'm most excited about seeing.
Just gonna say this now: if they even got ONE of these bands on full-run they'd appeal to the Millenial Middle-School nostalgia crowd: -Pierce The Veil -Sleeping With Sirens -PVRIS
Yeah, that crowd is super easy to appeal to and disappoint, it’s kinda annoying. Though I am genuinely surprised that one of the first two isn’t playing
Who was that 90s band that the poster didn’t know still existed? Were they talking about Reel Big Fish? Or have they not been announced yet?
Remember someone said there was some big 90s band playing, who they didn’t even know were still a band. Everyone started guessing around bands like Smash Mouth, Lit, etc. I believe
