Any chance of some Freak Kitchen shirts? Been wanting one for years and nobody brings any to the fest ever (including the band).

It's different, but it's still Jon. Like I said, a listening party isn't the best place for listening to something for the first time. Go figure! I see Glenn posted a review now, so that will give a better perspective.

Jon said at the listening party that he used the last of the old Criss tapes he found a while back. There were quite a few songs that included old Criss riffs. It was hard to listen to at the event because of all the people and the PA system. What I heard sounded good and is a not so blind buy...

They are playing Jannus Live in St. Pete tonight. This place holds around a thousand so if they only draw 50 it's going to be bad. Hoping to go but I am waiting on an AC guy to show up. If he doesn't get out of here to late we will make it down there. I don't know much about Crashdiet but I like...

The place is about half the size it was also. I haven't been there for any bands, but I don't think they have nearly the stage or sound equipment they used to.

Here are some acoustic versions of songs they did at the radio station here in Tampa. Russ sounds great. I know many here are not fans, but you may like these stripped down songs more to your liking. Angel Sky - http://www.98rock.com/player/?mid=23001718 Come Undone -...

I know. We have been to both locations. I prefer that one anyway!

Thanks for the info everybody. Craphole sounds perfect for this type of show! I didn't know it was near the Vortex. That gives me an idea where it is as we have been there during PP before. I'll check out the hotels. Thanks again!

We are probably going to make a trip up to Atlanta for this. Any locals know the area around the Masquerade? Are there any good hotels close by? How is the venue? Any other info you can think of. Thanks!

We were there. I was hungover as hell when it started, but made it through. Retribution was a good cover band. Damond can sound like almost any singer, so they should do good playing around town. Seven Kingdoms were good also. Sound was a bit muddy, but overall enjoyed them. Jet...

Best of the year for me so far.

We ended up seeing both shows afterall. Got to the Beecham during Warbringers set. All three bands played good, but the sound was pretty shitty for Sym X and Iced Earth. Why these bands/sound guys insist on cranking it up to 1000 and pushing the bass so high I will never understand. The bass was...

Tix were $101 for the GnR show. Must be a ticket broker because the show is sold out. I know it's a high price, but being at such a small place for them you have to expect a premium. They are not my favorite band and I actually have said in the past I would never see this version of Axl and...

I don't even know whos opening. I didn't ask because I was only thinking about how we could watch Iced Earth now!

Just called HOB. Doors are at 9, opening band at 10, GnR isn't starting until 12 and are playing 3 hours. Looks like we will be at both shows. I think I need to take a nap.
