I just can't stand the indecipherable shouting into the microphone with like 3 or 4 other members of the posse alternately shouting equally indecipherable accompaniment on every other word. Even rappers that I like seem to suck live for the most part.

Im guessing there are not many rehearsals taking place.

It's no Rocklahoma.

The Arctic Monkeys maybe enough to get me to go if i dont end up going to lollapalooza

This.

You have some gangster wannabe rapper up on stage singing to a backing track with a giant posse of reeruns doubling every 4th word.

Most of the time you are witnessing them pulling up their pants, and watching the long dangling chain swing back and forth while they throw gang signs.

Now, would I love to witness an 8-Mile type rap battle? Sure.

Opeth is booked August 5 in Portugal.

Porcupine Tree already has their tour lined up, starting August 11. The tour will be closest to here on August 22 (StL)

Sweet

Correction, August 23. August 22 is in Memphis

Eminem is great live. Gives it his all. Plus he doesn't perform much so he's fresh and full of angriness.

$180 isn't worth it considering who's all gonna perform there.

I paid $30 for my Rockfest ticket....and the band lineup is going to be much better.

Winner = Rockfest

Jesus Christ. You don't actually believe this, do you?

Holy shit. I have heard it all.

I've never seen Eminem live, but I've heard he puts on a hell of a show, and does it well.

You said a friend of yours did the booking for the artists performing at the festival huh? Well I sent them (Kanrocksas) a general email inquiring on if I could get my artist booked to perform. I was told there will be more opportunities coming up for this and to stay tuned to their social networking sites for more details. Now what I'm getting at here is if you know the promoter who did the booking, is there anyway you might be comfortable sharing here email address with me? What I would then like to do is send here an EPK for my aritist, as that would be the best way to actually try getting my artist booked.
