AudioVideoRevolution.com Email Update Its Been 25 Years Since Music Fans Were Willing to Riot to Protest Bad Music - 25 years ago this week, thousands of music fans rushed Comiskey Park in Chicago to burn their disco albums.

Steve Dahl, a local radio DJ, and members of the White Sox promotion team decided that fans that brought disco albums to the game would receive tickets for 98 cents.

This is how Hoobastank�s second album, The Reason, pans out. The initial sign of death is the fact that the best song on the album is also the title track. So the reason The Reason fails is because of �The Reason.� I�m dizzy. �Out of Control� sounds like the type of song you�d hear at a frat party: loud, soulless guitar with ironic lyrics that are shouted occasionally with just the right amount of feeling and angst. �What Happened to Us?� is another heartfelt rager that makes you feel the pain that a millionaire in his 20s must feel when he has lost love.

It�s a more than appropriate symbol for this festival, which is the mother of all multi-artist punk rock tours. Let�s face facts: nobody ever expected punk rock to last quite this long. But with Warped about to celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2004, this �little festival that could� continues to keep the traditions of punk rock alive and well. With the advent of successful pop-punk acts like Sum 41 and Good Charlotte, it�s easy to become cynical and skeptical about the current day crop of punk rock outfits. One has to wonder sometimes where all the world-changing Clashes and Sex Pistols of our culture have gone. And although this documentary includes a healthy sampling of these aforementioned pop-punkish clone bands, it also throws in just enough wild cards to keep your worthy (and critical) attention.
