Gym Class Heroes, Dollyrots and more from Warped
July 14th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in ReviewsHere are some more pics from the Vans Warped Tour that went down Friday, July 11, at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg:
Headline making Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy. Too bad his girl, Katy Perry, was a no-show Friday.

So you get shined (is anyone surprised?) by Kate Perry, the manufactured myspace star who has “the #1 Billboard single in America,” (so you bragged about on Friday) and you are going to call her out on the no show, twice. Wow. Who do you think you are? Jann Wenner?
Oh! I know! I know! You should totally write a negative review about her, like how you only listened to 1.893434 minutes of her set and that she sucked! That will show her management not to stand up the great Wade.
Hack.

Joey:
Actually we have a positive review of Katy Perry’s new album running next week. It’s so much better than anything DMB has done. Ever.

Dude, if you think trashing DMB will bait me, you are a worse reader than you are a writer.
I don’t particularly like DMB and I’ve never said I liked them in any of my previous comments. (They are . . . eh, ok.) It’s your condescention that I despise; that you walk out on a show after 1.75 minutes and write a review trashing said show. I know you are just a “critic” and this CL is just a “tabloid,” but are there any journalistic standards required for your job? Any at all?
I tell you what, let me offer this one standard to you (and I ain’t even a journalist): don’t brag about interviewing a musician until you actually intervew the musician. This way, if you get shined, you won’t have egg on your face like you do now.

So, you should..like “totally” whine about it ad nauseum. That’ll teach Wade. Or as I like to call him Jann Weiner.

Egg on my face? Because an artist canceled an entire concert appearance, not just a scheduled interview? I don’t think so, buddy.
