Had a really good time at Rockwave with only a few complaints. FILTER! Oh where do I start? After every song he went on and on about this being there year, and he better win a Grammy this year. Talked about being an Atheist and not believing in God. Talked about how he used to be in NIN (then waited for applause), where Trent was the boss, but "now he's the boss, he is the boss." Talk about insulting to your fellow band mates. I've never heard a more self inflated ass hat in my life. Between every song he did this!!
Chevelle was good, and STP & Jane's Addiction were of course good. All of them rocked out! The parking was $15 which I thought was kind of expensive, though typical, yet it was very organized. Quick to get in, and quick to get out. No long lines. There were plenty of beer tents, which made waiting in line short. The food vendors were a rip off!! $10.00 for a crappy steak and cheese sandwich, and that was at the end of the night when no one was even still getting food. Probably why they were the only tent that was still open with food still available. You'd think they would have been trying to get rid of it.
Overall it was an awesome time. We were able to get close to the stage multiple times and get some great pictures. The crowd was really good too. No fights, no problems, everyone there just to have a good time.
