Van’s Warped Tour Contest
Author: Dallas VonKillbot3 Jul
It’s summer. In Chico, that means we get drunk, go down to the olde’ swimmin hole and then get engulfed in the current mess of smoke caused by the 4 billion fires in Northern California. At the Synthesis, it means that we have too much cool shit laying around, so we’re giving stuff away.
Our Warped Tour/ Guitar Hero contest has been birthed (it’s a girl!) and now you need to adopt that shit. We’ve got sick band’s signatures all over this thing, and if we were smart we would throw this on Ebay and spend the money on hookers and beer… but we’re not. How do you with this fine piece of gaming history? We’ll I would start by watching the video below, then subscribing to our YouTube channel and leaving us a message telling us how you want it more the Cournty Love was her soul back (who names a baby girl Francis Bean, anyways?!). Here’s Alex from Cobra Starship reppin it.
Travis from Gym Class Heroes Arrested For Beating Warped Tour Heckler With Microphone
Author: Daniel Taylor2 Jul
Can’t really say I blame him though:
Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travis McCoy was arrested last night in St. Louis on one charge of third-degree assault. The punk-hop group had just finished the first song of their Warped Tour set, “Peace Sign,” when a black audience member near the front row called the New York-based singer a “fucking ignorant nigger.”
McCoy calmly asked the man, “What did you just call me?” As security was removing him from the crowd, the frontman reached down and broke his microphone over the man’s head. McCoy immediately apologized for his reaction and said it wasn’t representative of him as a person. “I’m sorry. But when someone calls you something that ignorant and that offensive, you have to bash their head in with a microphone,” said McCoy. The audience cheered as the man in question was carried away by security. Local police are not releasing the victim’s name at this time. McCoy was arrested onstage at the end of his set. He was released early this morning on $500 bond.
This video was shot immediately following the beat down:
Someone call Al Sharpton. Or at least Pete Wentz. Or maybe both.

In case you couldn’t tell from the entire Digital Magazine we dedicated to his various creative pursuits, we here at Synthesis have a giant boner for Tom DeLonge, frontman for Angels and Airwaves and formerly Blink-182. Our most recent stroking comes courtesy of Video Matt who caught up with Tom and his bandmate Matt Wachter at the San Francisco date of the Warped Tour.
