[show #135] The main thing that ticked me off about the venue is that they had a gated section for 21+, which is usually fine, only here, on the 2 second stages, they actually gated off 1 of the stages, so because I was with my nephew, we couldn't even go up close to the stage for the bands we wanted to see over there. Idiotic! Aside from that, Powerman 5000 was good, still very much full of energy. They deserve to be on the main stage--I don't know where their fame went. Hollywood Undead was really good, too. Emmure, as well. Kind of a heavy rap type band. On the main stage (we decided to upgrade our tickets from Lawn to Pit for only $20 more, and it at least got us out of the sun most of the time. C.O.C was good, and I spotted Zakk Wylde on the side of the stage watching the show. Trivium and Gojira got the crowd pumped. Trivium are a good live band. BLS was great. Zakk played a long solo with his guitar on his shoulder, behind his head. Came down and played most of it between the center divider, finishing on stage using his mouth. Avenged Sevenfold were supposed to be headlining, but the singer got sick. Prophets of Rage backed out because they were touring with AS. But...Three Days Grace decided to make the trip so that was cool of them, they were cool. Chevelle took AS's place and they've played better shows. It was a little disappointing. They didn't seem to have the crunch they used to have.

Avenged sevenfold and prophets of rage replaced by chevelle due to illness.
