Operation Kick A** Fest

Main stage was amazing. A7X had everyone on their feet.

I waited all day to see Alice In Chains and I loved seeing them and they rocked. They were great. Songs were great, they sounded great and loved seeing Cantrell and the band live. But, I thought the set list was too SHORT. I was hoping to hear many songs off the new album and I think they only played two. The songs they played, old and new, were great, but I was hoping to hear full two sets from them being the headliner group. But, it seems with festivals where many bands play on one day, they each only play about 45-60 minutes. That was my only complaint...that I wanted to hear more! :) Otherwise, they absolutely rocked the place! I hope to see them tour again solo where I can hear that full 2 sets :) Thanks for the great show!

I was really impressed with the way the show was done in the parking lot. There was never a down moment. When one band finished the other started immediately.

Kick Ass .........Kicked ASS! Such a great line up and band set up was awesome and on time! Jane's Addiction and Alice in Chains brought the freaking house down! Great venue!

I have to admit this was awesome. I was blown away. Loved Loved Loved them!!!! The lead singer blew me away.

I did enjoy the show. There were a couple very good acts. Alice in Chains by far stole the show. The only thing that surprised me was that so few people showed up. The lawn wasn't even open.

We caught the last two groups before Avenged Sevenfold and have purchased the volbeat cd's.

My 3rd time seeing them, and they get better musically each time. Not only do they sound better and more precise as musicians, but each time they seem to blow me away with their stage effects and pyro. Volbeat puts on a great show too, my 2nd time seeing them. Set was a little short but that's expected at a festival show. Halestorm was disappointing. I love their music but they played only 3 of the songs I really like, a few "filler" songs, and a very long drum solo... then they cut their set short for some reason. Oh and the food SUCKS at this venue... the only decent thing is the chicken tenders, everything else is bland and overpriced... the sodas are watered down.

the concert was great specialy the stage has great lights the sound

Not sure what was so "kick ass" about this fest. It was actually quite boring and the bands were really unusual mix. There wasn't much for booths or to do while waiting to get to our seats, staff was exceptionally rude, and the chicken strips and fries were the worst food I've ever eaten. Unimpressed.

Great festival, Hailstorm, Volbeat and Avenged Sefenfold literaly kicked ass.

Avenged Seven fold was great but their set was only 90 minutes because it was a festival. All of the other bands sucked. I would have preferred just an Avenged Sevenfold concert so they could have played longer. That being said, they played very well. Next time please schedule them in the San Diego area without being part of a festival with a bunch of bands that aren't very good.

First day, Halestorm was incredible!!! Second day, loved Jane's Addiction and Alice n Chains. What we really, really enjoyed was the non-main stage set up! We liked several of the bands on the other stages both days, especially Mental Evolution, Dead Daisies and Walking Papers. The chance to meet and interact with the bands, show our appreciation for their music was fantastic! Our experience was terrific, all of the band members we spoke to were very personable and appreciative of our support. Our only complaint, if you could call it that, was that there weren't all that many food choices and it was a really LOOOOONG day with no in and out allowed. It may have been better if we could have gone out between bands to BBQ or rest a bit especially with the heat that weekend.

HIM was my only disappointment... all the other bands rocked it!
