I went to the Chicago one, it was an awesome show.
Second Stage
Throwdown - They started at 9 instead of 9:30 so i missed half their set but they did an EXCELLENT cover of Sepultura's "Roots Bloody Roots" and they had some catchy songs. Amazingly they got the crowd pretty pumped up.
Magna Fi - They started by playing Eruption... pretty sad when the best part of their set is someone else's solo. I still don't know why they were on the bill... they weren't the bit heavy.
Devil Driver - Some awesome songs, Dez still has that awesome voice he had back in Coal Chamber. They got a good pit going.
God Forbid - Great set, some excellent songs. I needed a drink so i missed half their set.
Unearth - Simply AMAZING. These guys are awesome guitarist. During "One Step Away" One of the guitarist did a sweeping solo behind his head, then spun the guitar around him three times and on the third time jumped up on the drum platform and caught the guitar. They put on an amazing stage show.
Everytime I Die - Sucked, went to the bathrooms after the first song.
Lacuna Coil - Awesome. They sounded great and play my favorites. And Christina was looking great as usual.
Bleeding Through - see Everytime I Die
Otep - was busy meeting Zakk Wylde.
Atreyu - They put on a great show, had excellent crowd response. I was surprised to see them playing Korean LTD's. After their set they came out and talked with the fans, cool guys.
Darkest Hour - Finally a Melodic Band!!! They were awesome. They were also playing Korean LTD's.
Lamb of God - Great set. They got the wall of death going during "Black Label", the wall of death is when the divide the crowd into two parts then have them run into each other.. kinda like braveheart.
Hatebreed - Definitely the Best second stage pit. It was crazy.
Slipknot - not worth my time, i went to find my First Stage seats.
First Stage
BLS - Zakk was once again wasted, but still played a great set. He played his Orange and Black Les Paul and his RR V.
Superjoint Ritual - sucked.
Dimmu Borgir - Spooky guys in face paint with spikes and leather + Daylight = FUNNY! But they still played all their songs flawless.
Slayer - Thier setlist kinda disappointed me. But the crowd went crazy and started to rip up the lawn and throw clumps of grass all over. Thier no longer is a lawn now.. its just dirt
Judas Priest - AMAZING!!!! Halford still has his voice!! Glenn and KK were amazing. When their 75 minute set was over i was ready to go home, then i forgot Sabbath was next.
Black Sabbath - This was the best I've seen Ozzy in YEARS. His voice was excellent and he was his usual dopey self. It brought a tear to my eye seeing all of them back together. I can die happy now.
I would of paid Triple my ticket price. It was simply and amazing show that I'll never forget.
