Asking Alexandria should be over Killswitch Engage

anonymous 9/7/2012 4:23:22 AM

Why are there 3 bands with "veil" in their name? gays.

anonymous 9/7/2012 5:05:07 AM

Asking Alexandria should be over Killswitch Engage Asking Alexandria should kill themselves.

SuckMeBeautiful 9/7/2012 5:08:15 AM

Oh I get it, this is a Joke. Good one LG!

LoydChristmas 9/7/2012 5:08:23 AM

Killswitch Engage As I Lay Dying Dillinger Escape Plan Unearth Bleeding Through Shadows Fall my 18 yr old self just creamed. 2002 was when shows were actually fun.

anonymous 9/7/2012 6:00:17 AM

bumed I live 2,495 miles away.

anonymous 9/7/2012 6:45:04 AM

Sound more like a Hot Topic gayfest, fcking awful.

anonymous 9/7/2012 7:09:53 AM

All the hot scene girls will be there, along with their scene bf

anonymous 9/7/2012 7:13:11 AM

EXACTLY! "Killswitch Engage As I Lay Dying Dillinger Escape Plan Unearth Bleeding Through Shadows Fall my 18 yr old self just creamed. 2002 was when shows were actually fun."

anonymous 9/7/2012 7:58:59 AM

Besides maaaybe the Faceless, none of this is anywhere close to metal. This is sad.

AnalButt 9/7/2012 8:10:09 AM

That line-up could be worse. If i were given a free ticket and lived near it id probably go. With a bandana tied across my mouth.

populationcontrol 9/7/2012 8:36:42 AM

Wheres the metal?

Stupid_News_Poster 9/7/2012 8:38:00 AM

Southern California Metalfest*

populationcontrol 9/7/2012 8:40:44 AM

But would go if Bleeding Through and As I Lay Dying just did material from 10 years ago as well.

anonymous 9/7/2012 8:50:17 AM

fauxhawks and 2008 are stoked

anonymous 9/7/2012 9:13:23 AM

anonymous 9/7/2012 10:04:24 AM

Leaving after ICP

chhudson1215 9/7/2012 10:13:44 AM

in her own words is definitely poppunk

LoydChristmas 9/7/2012 10:26:22 AM

populationcontrol 1 hour ago But would go if Bleeding Through and As I Lay Dying just did material from 10 years ago as well. 100% agreed on bleeding through, but as i lay dyings newer shit is wayyy superior to that sloppy old stuff.

therearetoomanybands 9/7/2012 10:28:05 AM

Here's hoping that Mick Foley does a "This is Your Life" segment with one of these stupid bands.

anonymous 9/7/2012 10:55:53 AM

Just heard Hollywood Undead is gonna rush the stage and show all the kids how a real scene band does it.

anonymous 9/7/2012 11:08:42 AM

Shay's unnaturally large crooked shaped nose is stoked.

anonymous 9/7/2012 12:46:49 PM

hey...what?

anonymous 9/7/2012 2:10:51 PM

3 veils on one show?!

anonymous 9/7/2012 2:40:41 PM

So....I don't see any metal bands.

anonymous 9/7/2012 4:27:28 PM

I didn't know metal bands were liked exclusively by 14 year old scene porksluts.

anonymous 9/7/2012 4:54:30 PM

Ive made a vow to never contribute 1 dollar to the shit stain disguised as a band called Attila. You all should do the same

anonymous 9/7/2012 6:53:01 PM

that annoying fck from attila should admit he's actually just a medically redeveloped fred durst and then blow his retard brains out the back of his noggin.

anonymous 9/7/2012 9:42:43 PM

Played a show with the great commission in Nashville and they sucked. Who the fck play 6 string guitars anymore

anonymous 9/8/2012 12:57:42 AM

Wait...is this really the same fest that CARCASS headlined 3 short years ago?!...oh well we can all thank the dumb ass owner of sumerian records for putting this "metal" festival together. fck OFF!!

anonymous 9/8/2012 12:59:43 AM

the faceless suck now.

anonymous 9/8/2012 9:34:41 AM

i remember my first beer

big_metal_al 9/8/2012 10:00:14 AM

good enough to where i will go.

anonymous 9/8/2012 12:33:42 PM

Michael Avildsen is stoked, realizes there is a reason he refuses to see his gay son.

anonymous 9/8/2012 12:35:03 PM

JOhn. G. Avildsen is stoked realizes there is a reason his silver spoon son is such a gay 5 foot 1 pssy

anonymous 9/8/2012 6:31:52 PM

Awsome

anonymous 9/9/2012 10:25:17 AM

Wish August Burns red was in there

anonymous 9/10/2012 5:19:45 AM

thats a lot of damn bands! whens this thing starting at 5am? at least killswitch is only playing songs from alive or just breathing

anonymous 9/10/2012 6:30:18 AM

Who ever says Asking Aleksandria are gayots can fuch him self in the face and than pee on it you are a stupid ass !

anonymous 9/10/2012 6:52:23 AM

If half the bands on here were actually metal bands there would be people commenting and defending the bands they like. Hoping that they have a separate stage for the few great bands on this list. Maybe I can just see Upon a burning body Born of Osiris Winds of plague As I lay dying Bleeding through Killswitch engage

anonymous 9/10/2012 12:13:19 PM

urgh why am I the only one that thinks that Veil of Maya, Asking Alexandria, Pierce the Veil, Born of Osiris, blessthefall and Volumes all at the same time is the best line-up of all time. Actually they could've added Slipknot, Lamb of God or Trivium... but seriously, if you don't like it, piss off. Why do metal heads always hate people inside their own scene.

anonymous 9/10/2012 5:38:43 PM

im 14 and sooooo going.and i dont see y people say gay is that supposed to be an insult?

anonymous 9/11/2012 7:20:01 AM

^^^^^ shut up gay

anonymous 9/12/2012 1:12:53 PM

VOLUMES should headline! WTF still amazing though

anonymous 9/13/2012 3:16:47 PM

Why is the worst band I've ever heard on multiple events? .........cough cough...obey the brave. If I wanted to kill myself I'd use their music and save the world some rope

anonymous 9/14/2012 12:04:09 AM

anonymous 9/14/2012 9:37:54 AM

anonymous 9/14/2012 5:34:30 PM

fck yeah, City In The Sea is the shit.

anonymous 9/16/2012 10:37:08 AM

Horrible and dissapointing. Nothing but piece of shit, scene bands.

anonymous 9/17/2012 10:31:55 AM

anonymous 9/26/2012 3:32:58 PM

anonymous 9/26/2012 11:35:44 PM

I hope all you emo c*nts crawl back into the disease infested c*nts that you crawled out of because this show is going to be epic. If u want to see taking back Sunday go somewhere else u fcking queers

anonymous 9/28/2012 6:03:19 PM

anyone who thinks As I Lay Dying is NOT metal is a fcking retard.

anonymous 9/30/2012 2:11:27 PM

this costs like 58 dollars. I wouldn't spend a dime of on this nonsense. festivalflip

anonymous 9/30/2012 9:35:23 PM

the mother fckin acacia strain! brutal i dont giiiive a fuuuuck

anonymous 10/1/2012 5:23:05 PM

For Today is going to punch everyone in the fcking face. Why is Chiodos there? I thought they split up and spawned DRUGS. Too bad this shit is in Cali or I'd be there killin it

anonymous 10/1/2012 5:33:05 PM

d-bags crying about the line up, then dont go. go find a dark room to cry in and contemplate your next zombie tattoo and wish your dad was dead There are some bad ass bands playing and god forbid you dont agree with every single band playing they probably werent considering all the inbred goat fckers that wouldn't approve Im gonna be there and its gonna be sick...

anonymous 10/1/2012 5:33:27 PM

...You can stay home and pleasure to utorrent staring the album covers of bands that wont come to your area the only enjoyment you get from them is driving around listening to them in your beater car that only has 3 speakers that work and a mp3 player because your awesome ass cant afford an Iphone

anonymous 10/1/2012 5:33:52 PM

...and the rest of us will be there having a good time enjoy good people and good music Go be a critic else were because here no one gives a shit your comment isnt gonna change someone elses opinion about going or not going trust me, your not that cool bro

anonymous 10/10/2012 9:13:06 AM

Attila. is the shit. their live shows are even better they get the crowd going. And suicide silence is one of the best metal bands ever. and I thought a skylit drive was going to be on the line up. I'm kinda bummed about that but I'm still ok with attila and suicide silence

anonymous 10/13/2012 11:28:59 AM

Avenged Sevenfold should be there...

anonymous 10/15/2012 6:52:01 PM

fcking bullshit!!!!!!!! i dont mind confide at all. but asking alexandria? black veil brides? pierce the veil?blessthefall? WHAT THE fck HAPPEND TO METAL!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE SENSATIVE EVERY fckING YEAR!!! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!!

anonymous 10/19/2012 2:55:28 AM

this is a straight up poser fest, no metal here , just a bunch of pssy beer pong playing army and MMA rejects, following a trend with no true identity or taste in music.... this should be called the what comes after emo fest (anger) ie: 5 stages of grieving..PMA BRO!!

anonymous 10/24/2012 9:53:30 AM
