The festival was great, and I made sure to watch every band on the bill
because I paid 45 bucks to see multiple bands and I was going to see them. Some
good bands on the bill were Strapping Young Lad, Bad Acid Trip, Atreyu (it was a
surprise for me), Full Blown Chaos, Hatebreed and System of a down.
Since this is a System site I will mainly only talk about System. But I must
say this night god answered one of my wishes. I was really pissed that I was
going to have to sit through A7X but the powers that be stopped that. There was
a rolling black out and it took them an hour to fix it so all in all I only had
to listen to 4 of their crappy songs.
But now lets talk about system. Daron came out all alone singing soldier side
perfectly.
Then it was 'Attack', 'BYOB', 'Revenga' and pretty much noting too cool like 'Cubert'
or 'Darts'. Pretty much the same set list.
Daron of course said some really funny shit through the show like when he
started the intro to 'Cigaro' he said "This is a song written by Dick Chaney."
Then he did the mind speech people are talking about and it was hard to
remember
but it was very cool and true.
Then on 'Lonely Day' he said "such a lonely day
with the band, I love these guys up here" I think he said that so people can put
to rest the whole breaking up thing. All of System's family attended the show and
Daron gave them all a shout out. And it was his cousins birthday and Daron told
him happy birthday.
Then he said "I have a lot of family in Iraq and I know you guys do too so this
one goes out to them," then they played 'Lost in Hollywood'. That's all I can
remember because during the black out they encouraged us to light up a joint and
drink a beer and lets just say most of up did just that.
A lot of bands took the time to go out and sign some autographs except the
really big band like Ozzy, BLS, System, Hatebreed, and Lacuna Coil. But yea I
got to meet Strapping Young Lad and in my opinion they should have been one of
the biggest band there and they all liked my shirt especially Gean Hoglan (it
was a Death shirt and Gean Hoglan is the ex-Drummer sadly Chuck the lead singer
died of a brain tomor so there is no hard fellings.) Devin Townsend was the shit
up on stage. The I got to meet Bad Acid Trip and I bought there CD and they
signed it. They also really like my shirt and we spent 10-15 minutes talking
about Death. Everyone except the lead singer, he was in his own little world
tripping out. But they were all the coolest guys and super nice.
