I must say that this in no way lives up to the first go around with System of a Down, and the acts started off rather dull, but it finished strong with Crossfade and Chevelle. Chevelle put on the best performance of the night, which is what I expected, but the real surprise was Crossfade. Crossfade has a lot of ability and a style which, while radio friendly, attempts to stand out on it's own, they are at a point where they could really break out.

Just an FYI but Helmet didn't drop off the tour. They just had the day off to handle some other stuff. They are back on for the rest of the tour starting with the show in Baltimore tonight.
Also, this is the 10th year of SnoCore, not the 2nd and the orignal lineup was with Sublime.

Thanks for the info, Kelly! When I first heard about I was told that they had dropped off the tour entirely, I am glad that is not the case, but am still disappointed they didn't play this show!

No problemo. It's a shame that you didn't get to see them. They put on a great performance. Their bass player is NUTS! LOL
Um, your pics link isn't working. :(
Oh and I was at this show and I think I might have been standing near you.

Strange, I just tried the link and it worked for me....
I saw Helmet back in 1997 when they opened for Korn, Limp Bizkit also played that show.
If you think you were nere me, I was the guy constantly taking photos! I took almost 300. I was standing near the middle of the railing.

dude! you seriously need to do your homework before you take the big test...like publishing a review on bands that you have no clue on what they are about. future leaders are awesome and you cant feel the bands true force at a live performance if you dont know their songs. crossfade has a wide fan base and everyone sings along because they own their albums. you obviously dont. but keep up the good work with taking 300 pics, did you listen to any music?

I don't feel it is necessary to be familiar with an act before seeing them live, I have been introduced to a number of good bands for the first time live. I have seen great shows where I did not know a single song. FLotW did not impress at all. The CD may be better, but yhou should be able to put on a show to pull in even non-fans. They were not impressive at all, there was nothing original to them. But sure, you're a fan and entitled to your opinion.

Pattons 'new' band Mr. Bungle has been around since 1985. He was in Mr. Bungle before he was in Faith No More.
