PART 1
Weezer - okay, but wouldn't pay for that
The Offspring - meh. Washed up as ******** too
Limp Biscuit - awful. If it has to be explained there is no hope anyway.
Awolnation - who?
Chevelle - I don't like this band, but I do tolerate them. See answer to Weezer.
Tech N9ne - I don't understand what the big deal about this ******** is
Bad Religion - They're still around?
Pepper - uh
Black Label Society - Have fun listening to Zack wank for like 30 minutes straight about halfway into the show. Even the BLS fans were like "Zack. We get it. Stop."
Hellyeah - Gimmicky bullshit joke of a band
Memphis May Fire - lmfao
Fuel - They should be headlining over most if not all of this bullshit, but still...meh.
Dead Sara - If this is the band I'm thinking of then okay. They should be headlining over most if not all of this bullshit. With all the garbage in this lineup it wouldn't even be worth it though.
Nothing More - than a joke of a band, probably.
The Last Internationale - Better than probably everything previously mentioned.
Butcher Babies - Oh great, another gimmicky "WE HAVE A CHICK SCREAMER AND BLAST BEATS AND HEVVY GUITARZ PLZ GIVE US MONEY" pseudo-metal piece of s**t.
Emmure - I want to actually vomit on this band and their families.
Sleepwave - I want to s**t on them just for taking a name that would have been good for shoegaze and doesn't even fit their sound
Islander - who?
Anti-Mortem - I vaguely remember this, but I'm not sure if I want to.
Eyes Set to Kill - lol
Viza - who?
Dig the Kid - is this Ian Watkin's new band?
PART 2:
Rob Zombie - would be fun as hell to see live for sure
Godsmack - ******** them. Pseudo-tough guy music for people who want to be Layne Staley but are too scared to do boat loads of heroin
Five Finger Death Punch - It's called the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. They don't even understand their own damn reference. This band is the Nickleback of the pseudo-metal world. They only have two songs. "Whining Like a Little b***h" or "DO YOU EVEN LIFT, BRO?" which is just trying to be Pantera and failing at a hilarious level. Music for douchebags who wear Tapout but wouldn't last in a real fight, and who think their beerguts and giant jello arms are "muscle"
Rise Against - If I believed in guilty pleasures they might be one. At least some of their material. Would I pay to see them though? Certainly not. Unless at least 90% of these shitty bands say they're going to stop making music.
Seether - They were tolerable when they were trying to be Nirvana. Now they're just another Theory of a NickleHinder.
Mastodon - The fact that Five Finger Death Punch is headlining over them is a good sign that whoever organized this needs to swallow everything in the medicine cabinet. Holy Jesus ********.
Pennywise - idr who this is
Theory of a Deadman - speaking of Seetherback....
Buckcherry - and apparently the Theory of a Seetherback scene hasn't been Hindered by time. When will the world move on?
Of Mice and Men - Hilariously bad and part of a dying gimmick.
We Came as Romans - See above.
Atreyu - Ugh why
Black Stone Cherry - isn't this another Chad Kroeger worship band?
Otherwise -...Pennywise side project? That's not fair at all.
Kyng - Holy ******** no.
Lacuna Coil - part of what ruined "goth" rock for eternity.
Escape the Fate - their name is actually a warning label about their brand, as well as this festival. Escape the fate of bad music. Don't waste your money.
Redlight King - ******** atrocious generic hard rock band. This brand of rock needs to ******** die but I'm scared of it being replaced with Imagine Dragonscore. I hope this weird wave of bands like Royal Blood (even though it's probably the last thing radio rock needs too) and Beware of Darkness kills off both of these.
We Are Harlot - generic rock for teens who can "relate to the lyrics" instead of people who are actually listening for anything with musical substance.
Burn Halo - given this festival's track record, I'm not even looking into this. If it's more nickleback worship or my description of We Are Harlot I'm actually going to throw up.
Crossfaith - ...cliche Jesuscore?
New Medicine - Pro-tip: there is already a GOOD band named Medicine. Please rename yourself to something as far away as possible from them. There doesn't need to be a "new" Medicine. The old one is perfect and their comeback is actually worth something.
Cilver - see answer to Burn Halo.
