This show was incredible! From start to finish all the bands delivered their best and it showed. Starting with White Chapel at 1:55 it just got better from there, highlights from the day's non-headlining bands were Trivium, Job For a Cowboy, and All That Remains. When the headliners came out, the show really started, All four were incredible, Bullet for My Valentine started the set off and got the crowd going, Killswitch Engage then pulled out a flaming set with their pyros and stage skills. Slayer was the highlight of the night, playing for well over an hour and rocking everyone to their knees, pulling out Raining Blood at the last second to get their screaming and adoring fans to melt in their hands. Manson pulled of a theatrical set but didn't sound that great, Sweet Dreams and The Beautiful People were his most successful songs of the night. All in all and fantastic 10 hour day of metal!

The only thing bad about this show was the fucking HEAT................it was god awful hot. Jager stage was ok, God Forbid rocked it and All that Remains & Trivium kept the fans going wild. The hot Topic Stage Highlight was Job for a Cowboy, they are a must see live band. There CD's do not do them justice until you see them live.......all other hot topic bands kicked ass. Behemoth & Cannibal corpse stand out also.

The main stage was worth the price of the ticket alone. Bullet for my Valentine shredded, KSE amped it up another notch, Then Slayer KICKED ASS.............Marilyn Manson played a lot of older stuff and was the best I've ever seen him...........Loved the entire show.......needed people with hose's to spray down the crowd the venue needed to be better prepared for the heat. I saw many people collapse and have to wait 5+ minutes for help to arrive. That shit is unforgivable.
