This was about as commercialized as hardcore gets. This is the "hardcore" Ozzfest (despite the fact that the recent lineups are starting to look like this one). I left after Opeth, because they were the only reason I really went to this in the first place. There were times where I was even skeptical about going for them, but then I found out about the Meet & Greet and I figured if I could get some stuff signed by Opeth and Gwar that everything would be okay.

I felt horrible for A Life Once Lost because they work very hard at what they do, tour their asses off and never really get appreciated. Although I am not a huge fan of them, I have no problem watching them because they are such a chaotic band with a lot to offer.
Norma Jean put on a good show playing The Entire World is Counting on Me and They Don't Even Know it Yet, Bayonetwork, Face:Face, Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste.
Strapping Young Lad was funny as hell, excellent as always. "You're lucky we're playing this next song because your all fucking ugly. Buy our t-shirts, and pick up a million copies of our CDs then hand them out to your ugly friends." Ah, good times.
Gwar kicked ass, as always. They set was far too short (it took twenty minutes to put up their stage, twenty minutes to take it down and the band was only on for a half hour).
The whole half-hour set thing is a real joke. I mean, that means three songs for a band like Opeth. Whoever did Opeth's sound is a horrible human being. Martin's left bass drum was inaudible so all double bass was cut in half. The guitars were basically non-existent in The Drapery Falls. The vocals were very, very low. Of course as a band, they were spot on. The last song was Demon of the Fall as always and when asked "We are going to end with a song we normally end with. It is off of the My Arms, Your Hearse album...what's it called?" "DEMON OF THE FALL!" "You're god damn right" I love that band.

I am glad I got a chance to meet the bands, but the day was very long for something not that great. The sound was about as bad as the Palladium. Gwar is much better on their own, as with Opeth. But oh well, will see them again when they come around.

And for the record, Devil Driver sucks.
