Love 'em or hate 'em? Any big ones near you or coming your way this year that you think you'll go to? Who will you be going to see?

SAAAAARS - 5-23-2005 at 02:39 PM

i like em

they're having a little one in kingfield, maine this year. kingfield is so far from the world. the only bands anyone outside of maine would know would be outbreak, have heart, radical attack, and MAYBE one up if anyone knows them. i think more than five different bands my friends are in are playing, which is my main reason for going. and a friend is putting it on.

and i'll be attending posi numbers, but thats not close to me. and i am mostly siked on murphys law, paint it black, and terror right now.

I'll probably get shit for this, but Im going to Ozzfest this summer. Ive never been to one, and it sounds like it's gonna be a marathon. There's a bunch of bands there Im excited to see.... Iron Maiden being one of them. Im also going to the Gigantour. It's a fest type thing, or at least that's what it's trying to be. It's the brain child of Dave Mustaine. Im just excited to see Megadeth again.

As for hardcore fests... I guess Im for them, but I dont really go to them. Ive been to two Stillborn fests, and I think that's pretty much it. Never been to Hellfest, and Im not sure I'd want to. I'd probably go to Posi Numbers fest if I wasnt lazy. Fests are cool in that you get to see plenty of bands, but they usually play really short sets depending upon the size of the fest.

None that I know of yet.

I will not be going to hellfest again.

Festivals are cool, but i think it's so wack when people call absouletly ANYTHING a fest.

"ooo theres 5 bands on this show, lets give it a tough name and call it a festival so kids will get off their ass' and drive 15 hrs to get here so they can tell their friends they did a 'roadtrip' for some kickass festival"

I think a festival really needs: Multiple stages, multiple days, other activities than just bands, lots and lots of bands etc etc. 5 Bands playing in a church hall is hardly a festival by any description.

That said, I had a blast at hellfest and posi numbers last year ... wish I could do it again.

you could not pay me enough to go to a festival
if elvis, the beatles, and whoever else were playing it, i would still not go
there is not one band on the planet who could get me to go to one of these things
i worked a warped tour show once
oy friggin vey some of you kids are annoying and lame

I went to the warped tour when Bad Religion and NOFX were both playing. There was a girl who looked 12 years old wearing a hand made shirt that said "free hand jobs" on it. What a dork. I bet she'd never touched a dick in her life, and if anyone had asked her to actually give them a hand job she'd probably start crying.

Bad Religion and NOFX were awesome though.

hey that was my sister!!! haha, no fests for me, i dont like seeing a handful of bands that i really like for a very limited amount of time. it is nice if thats your only opportunity to see them in your area though...

i sunburn like it's my job, and that in itself makes me hate them with a passion. or at least because i think of fest and think of giant outdoors summer thing.

sinister - 5-24-2005 at 03:02 PM

The big outdoor type fests suck... the sound and atmosphere are shit compared to a small indoor venue, plus the place is usually crawling with kids going to their only show of the year to have a fuckin' picnic. And it pisses me off that I'm too old now to stand around all day waiting for the 1 or 2 decent bands to come on.

JawnDiablo - 5-24-2005 at 05:32 PM

i have been pestered into going to ozfest since the first one but never did due to the fact that i usually only care about 1-2 bands on it.
i have a dvd someone burned for me of hellfest 2 footage and i dont think i could stand it for the whole day
i went to one festival and it was in philly in 93..you guessed it lollafuckinpalooza...i got sunburnt till my skin was blostered, the concessions were way too fuckin expensive, primus and the goats were ok , and rage against the machine didnt play, they came out and stood there naked for 20 minutes to protest the PMRC...i'm glad i didnt pay for my ticket....never again
i did get to see a friend hit a cop in the had with a rock though, that was interesting.....

thedog - 5-25-2005 at 03:43 AM

the only one i'm really considering is "sounds of the underground", just to see Madball and Clutch. Just not sure if i want to take off work to sit around in the heat listening to a bunch of metal bands i could care less about.

Did anyone go to Alive and Well in asbury a few years back?
that was a great show, they need to have that again.
