The 4 bands put up an amazing show. Heart Set Self Destruct, a band that I had never heard off before, had plenty of energy in the stage. The singer did great in getting the crowd started for the night. Overall, songs were good, and hopefully these young guys will keep on climbing up. Cute singer and drummer. Anew Revolution was a band I was really looking forward too. I really believe these guys will be famous someday. They had the crowd jumping and fists all over the air. The bass did a great job supporting the lead singer as he was killing the guitar. Drummer has crazy skills. The voice the singer has lots of value. The pitch and tone he would reach made people want to scream along with him! Best song of them was Broken Bones. The singer, joey is from the Valley, so you could tell they were rocking it even more with the home vibe.
Filter was the best of the night! Crowd jumping in unison, horns all over! This was also the most crowd interaction out of the other bands. There was crowd participation with the usual "hell yeah/fuck yeah" screaming. They were pretty cool when a little kid invaded the stage, they played it cool with the guy and allowed him to head bang with the big boys. The mosh pit was pretty rowdy, but no injuries. OVERALL, FREAKING AWESOME!
Saliva rocked! The performance they pulled was of 4.5stars. Best songs were BADASS and ALWAYS! They also did a bit of We WILL ROCK YOU, and as a huge QUEEN fan, I loved it (the crowd sang along insanely).
After the show, AR and HSSD, provided the fans with class A hospitality. They were all pretty cool and not the type who lets 'fame' get to their heads. Pictures, signatures, and conversations were had. I got to hang out with AR for about 25mins, and even scored some free goodies. The guys are just amazingly cool and laid back.
Saliva showed up later, once they finished the meet and greet with those lucky ones with special passes. They took pictures and signed autographs for everyone else. Filter was the only one who didn't made the big appearance, but it was because they were being interviewed by the local radio station.
