Kevin had originally created and started up the Warped Tour in 1994, after being a part of the Lollapalooza festival for the previous three years. The first tour consisted of just a handful of his favorite Ska and Punk bands that grouped up on a few buses and began to tour.

This was the birth of the longest-running annual tour in North America. The crowds were nearly twice as large in 1996 than his original tour thanks to the sponsorship of Vans.
On the right side of the stage crouched low over multiple racks of effects, pedals, guitars, synths and bizarre homemade “instruments” is the ugliest british citizen to ever become a millionaire, Jonny Greenwood. While anyone with an opinion about music would most likely agree that Greenwood is a brilliant noisemaker, his musicianship spans the gap between popular artists and classical composers.

It is arguable that his work on Paul Anderson’s film There Will Be Blood was the calcification of his creative genius, at least in the minds of western-world film appreciators. Realistically one could say that had the film’s score been composed by someone else, it may not have been nearly as successful.
