93xFest

I must say i was in awe of all that remain they played so great and even new medicine played really great for a hometown band all together it was a great concert. i was on the left side of the stage and i must say it had to been the most fun side of the stage it was really amazing when wes lead singe for puddle of mudd jumped of the stage and got up on the railing on our side and sang to two guys in wheel chairs which i thought was awesome and made that concert so much better. One of the only problem is i think they could have had a little more people up front to hold the gates back because people kept pushing so much and it would be nice if if between every other band they could back the crowd up a little bit. But most of i was not the slightest dissapointed it was worth every penny every bump scrap and ear ringing minute and i will most denfintly be attending next year and i hope many more will too next year.

The whole event was awesome!! We did get some rain, but hell, it could have rained more and it still would have been amazing. What more to say then hot people, hot bands and just an overall great time!!

Great line up. Hollywood Undead & Godsmack rocked it!!!

Godsmack put on a good show but it was Hollywood Undead and All That Remains that really did it for me! They were both amazing! I enjoyed New Medicine as well. Black Label Society wasn't as good as I had expected and Puddle of Mudd was ok. As for Queensryche, they sounded all right. I only knew one of their tunes, lol.

Great day till Godsmack blew the sound system -but still was a heavy day .. BEER WAS WAY OVER PRICED -NOT COOL

Great event. Rained during BLS but, can't control the weather.

The show was great, I wish All That Remains hand't sold out of shirts so soon, and I wanted to see Escape the Fate but they weren't there. It was still the best concert that I've seen yet.

Escape the Fate wasn't there but all the other bands were great. I would highly recommend this show but Godsmack needs to figure out their generator problem. They blew one and were down for about 10 min before getting the show again.

The old Xfest was 2 days with camping which was an awesome time! I had a great time at the all day "Fest" this year. Puddle of Mudd & GodSmack were my favorites. although Godsmack needed a bigger generator! The venue worked well for the show, Plenty of seats and space down front. I wish the Jumbo-tron had been working. I do wonder why the parking lot was blocked off for only VIP. The lot has 550 parking spaces and I'm sure they didn't sell 550 VIP tickets. It would have been nice to park & tailgate there. Overall we rocked the day with great bands.

Godsmack was incredible even with equipment problems. They rocked so hard that they blew a generator. BLS was awesome. Zakk Wylde is the best axeman around

The music slection was awsome. All the bands played hard and did a great job. Godsmack kicked butt and so did Puddle Mudd the two best performers of the day. The only thing i didnt care for was all the cigerettes butt all over the baseball field.

X Fest was a blast, the weather was awesome, for the most part. I was not a Godsmack fan before the show, and like them less after it, but BLS ROCKS< PoM was a lot of fun, Queensryche wasn't bad, although GT looked like he came straight from a wedding, and Hollywood Undead seemed a little out of place, but put on a great show. (Sorry missed the first 2 bands ) It was a great day!

The concert was great until the main headliner, Godsmack, came on we heard a couple songs then the sound cut out halfway through their performance, we waited and waited and waited nothing happended so we left,outside the gates when they started playing again they were playing a song they alread did...weird! It would be nice to get some sort of reimbursement for this, like maybe some money off our next ticketmaster purchase!

Godsmack was awesome! Hollywood undead is the worst band ever! Way to go Limp Bizkit wanna-bes!

Godsmack was awesome !! Black Label is amazing ! Hollywood Undead needs to be dead, they have no right to be playing with Godsmack and Black Label. GET REAL !!!! Send them out with the New Kids on the Block or Back Street Boys where they belong.

Had a blast at xfest! Hope they have it again next year!

I loved it. The bands were awesome. It was a great place to have a concert. I would do it again next year. We took the whole family.

Even the brief rain couldn't stop the fun. Godsmack was amazing, as always. By far the best band in the line-up. But all the bands were great.

I would say that 93x fest was one of the best show I've ever seen

I am really disappointed that Escape the Fate cancelled!! That was the only reason that I bought the tickets in the first place! But, that was my first time seeing New Medicine and I really liked them. We ended up selling our regular tickets and getting VIP, which was a good thing because were protected from the rain. But, ended up leaving early.

The event was not what I expected. It was hard to see anything, way too loud, and an unsafe crowd of people. Also, we were unclear what time certain bands were coming on. When it started raining they didn't offer ponchos to anyone.

The energy was good, and seemed to keep getting better through Black Label Society. But Hollywood Undead killed the crowd's enthusiasm already making it harder for Godsmack to finish strong. When Godsmack lost sound close to the end of their set, the party just seemed to be over. Speaking of parties, maybe next year 93x fest could be 18+ so people can actually drink liquor? the beer was way over priced and seemed to get you as drunk as the stuff I can buy at the gas station for cheaper...

concert all over amazing! Super fun! Would definately recommend it and go again!

93X Fest had great line up on paper but that didn't necessarily translate to the actual event. One thing that was a little disappointing was the fact the bands didn't follow in order from the list we had. I've been to a ton of concerts over 35 years and that's never happened. Our party made a conscience decision to stay out in the parking lot and tail-gait, missing New Medicine. This turned out to be a bad decision by the sound of the band once they cranked it up. That decision was made worse after we heard the lead singer make the proclamation NM was, in fact, a local act. We all agreed that we'll definitely be checking them out as they sounded great (even from the parking lot!!). As Black Label Society took the stage we were engulfed in rain. That didn't stop the band from ripping it up. They sounded great and I learned just how great Zakk Wylde is as a live singer. Really impressive. The band our group really came to see was Queensryche. We were really pumped when they meandered into their places on stage. That excitement quickly faded as their stage energy was the equivalent to a wedding band doing Eagles covers. I'm sorry 'Ryche fans but they clearly mailed it in with that performance. I don't know if they were pissed with their slot, not feeling well, whatever, but IMHO they were lame. I still love the band but I think they better stick to smaller, more intimate concert settings. I was also excited to see Puddle of Mudd. If I thought Queensryche was lame then Puddle of Mudd not only lowered the bar - they stomped on it. To make matters worse, their sound was weak for some reason. It didn't have any punch. Then Wes Scantlin appeared more interested in having the audience sing the songs than him. I get it when a lead singer wants to get the crowd into it, but leaning out and pointing the mic at the crowd on EVERY SINGLE verse and chorus really got annoying for me - especially when you couldn't hear the crowd respond. That on top of him trying to sing as he made his way down the stage scaffolding was just plain embarrassing. All that coupled with the poor sound made for an extremely bad performance. Very disappointing. In stark contrast to Queensryche and Puddle of Mudd was Hollywood Undead. As the weather got better so did the concert. I didn't know much about the band other than their one radio hit, but I really enjoyed them. That goes to prove how a bands performance can win over the most skeptical of concert goers. They were fun to watch and I may even purchase their CD - ok, maybe not. I'm a old school hard ass rocker but I loved their energy. Godsmack was a proverbial breath of fresh rocking air. When Sully Erna dedicated The Enemy to our troops and killing Osama bin Laden, the electricity at that concert spiked about 20,000 volts!! I get chills thinking about it now. They came out and delivered the goods which was exactly how I wanted the night to end. In fact, they were so powerful they blew the sound system out before their last song. Nice touch. In summary, it was fairly hit and miss for me. The sound system was somewhat inconsistent from band to band along with the performances. I also think they would have been better served moving the stage closer to the stadium stands for people that wanted a little better view. All-in-all, only three stars for me.

I had a blast, Im 49 yrs old , but these concerts make me feel like a kid, I can hold my own in the mosh pit, and this one got CrAzY. The music was good and loud, And got almost 8 hrs of music for $40 ! Gotta love it. I suppose when beer is $8 and $10. It works out, [ thats not a complaint, I don't drink alcohol, and pop and water was 2.50 or 3 bucks.] No one appeared to be hurtin for a buzz, Its probably a good thing 3 dollar beers weret available for 8 hrs. Plenty of bathrooms and conveniences. Wasssssssss Goooood !

That was one of the best shows i have ever seen, and i have been to alot of concerts. great line up of bands, had a little bit for everyone old timers like me and for the younger crowd as well. even with a little bit of bad weather we still had a great time.

Man the 93x fest was amazing got to see black label,all that remains,puddle of mudd,godsmack it couldn't of been better...the mosh was also amazing

Godsmack brought the house down...literally, the power went out for 20 minutes! Oh well. Great crowd great shows!
