2 bands tba
Incase anyone was wondering the two bands tba. are most likely local bands. However I have heard because of such short notice instead of having bands compete for the spot they are going to be pickin the best acts. We are currently one of the bands enrolled for one of the spots there,(www.mindstain.com) reguardless this show will have your neck and throat sore for weeks 😄
No we have not played Rockfest before there was a chance last year however it conflicted with previously sheduled shows that we could not turn down. I have heard of Craving Theo before, however I cannot remember if we played with them in that past.. I beleave we caught one of thier shows though.Nice to hear that some locals are making thier dreams a reality, bands are very hard work I'm glad to see that it is paying off 🙂.
Well, the concert was last night but I missed much of it because I had to leave in the middle for work. Slipknot was good at being loud and crazy (entertaining) but you can't understand the shit that comes out of their mouths. I did like their percussions though just because of all the nutty things they did. I missed Slayer but I hear they were pretty shitty. They did nothing extra for entertainment so it was either you like their music or you don't and I'm not a big fan of theirs so I don't feel I missed much. Drowning Pool cancelled because they got sick (2 years ago they cancelled at the same show because Dave died 15 days before the concert). Soil was outstanding. They were the 5th to last band yet most people (besides the huge Slipknot/Slayer fans) agreed they were the best. You could actually understand them unlike most the bands there. Good sound quality and I would have ranked them up with some of the best live performances I've seen. Also, Lacuna Coil was a pleasant surprise. I actually did recognize one of their songs and I was pleased with their songs that I haven't heard before as well.
I found the thread you were talking about. Did you go to Rockfest last year? I did and thought it was awesome. I was in the pit all day then Disturbed came out and when they played "the Sickness" I got knocked out from all the crowd surfers. Too many kicks to the head 😬 and when I woke up I had a bloody nose. So I went and layed in the field while Korn was playing. I wanted to see Boomer dammit! But the best part is that I got all the bands' autographs. Except for Korn. Did they have an autograph booth this year? I felt bad because last year when Chevelle was playing everyone around me was saying they sucked. I really like them 🙁 But Oh well. And another thing... it kinda sucks that drowning pool cancelled. Maybe they though Oregon is jinxed?

Hope that wasn't me 😮
Anyway, I was there last year as well. Chevelle was decent but Trapt was the band that really sucked. Disturbed did give a great performance and I thought they should have headlined over Korn but they just have a larger following. I didn't look for the autograph booth but I don't think it was there because I probably should have noticed it since it usually gets quite a line.
Hey, it just might have been 🙂 All in all I had a great time there though. So would you say that, for the time you were there, this year was better than last year? Or did I not really miss anything spectacular? asthe pimore vicious and out of cotrol? I heard from a few friends that it kinda sucked. But oh well. I guess I can wait for next year. Even though that's awhile away. That just gives me time to get worked up for it! Maybe next time I can try not to get kicked. I'll have to go to more concerts for practice I guess. Oh darn.
