Rock Fest Announces Lineup

Rock Fest will take place July 16-19, Cadott, Wisconsin. Headliners include Nickelback, Judas Priest and Avenged Sevenfold. Looks like a great time!

A great time spent on the BBG! Bus I'm Powerballin' to give you so we can party during all the sh*te like Nickelhack. Other than that, I would be there for Priest, Black Stone Cherry and Jackyl... The latter only for Dupree's stand up comedy in between songs.

And as far as going to see somebody without ever hearing a note they've ever played before, who can resist checking out a band named The Cragars?!

In fact, I'm gonna look 'em up right now!

p.s. Just think, the chance to be entertained by Metalboy! is just a lottery ticket away!

The best part of this lineup? You can beat the traffic after Priest when the incredibly boring Avenged Sevenfold and Nickelback hit the stage.

... while listening to "Heading Out To The Highway", getting away from this creepfest as quickly as possible!

Kenny my man...I just don't get why you hate Nickelback so much. Have you ever seen them live? That's how they won me over...and you know, I'm one cynical opinionated bastard. I'd even offer to buy you a pair of lawn tix to the Riverbend gig if you haven't seen them before. If nothing else, we can grab a few beers!

I've never seen em. I would go to the Riverbend show with ya. Pretty Reckless is opening! Love them.

I think Lifehouse is opening the summer leg of the tour.

Nickelhack: 1 Good Song... "Animal"

Kenny O! Go to Riverbend but make sure you cut out before those d*cks go on. Or hold your ears and shut your eyes until they play "Animal", then get the h*ll out of there as fast as possible!

No Pretty Reckless? Sonofabitch.....

Metalboy has probably never seen them either. Even if he has, it's not like I'd put much stock in his opinion. I liken a Nickelback show to seeing Mötley circa-1989...songs with big guitars and choruses that everyone there knows, a visual show with tons of lights & pyro combined with the party vibe of 1995-ish Pantera. Not to mention the drummer, Daniel Adair, makes 99% of all "glam" drummers look silly.

I know that some people don't like Nickelback for their music or their cheesiness or whatever. The silly part is that they're such an easy "go-to" for people to make fun of. In reality, most of the people who make fun of them have probably never heard more than a song or two.

Jason, I'd say it's YOUR stock that's in question if you think these as*clowns are any good. Hey, at least I gave ya one song... "Animal" TOTALLY kicks a*s! That saves them from being categorized as something worse than "as*clowns, for sure!

Jason dont sweat it bro. Lost respect for nonmetalboy a long time ago. He needs to turn in his metal card. Photograph is a ballad( too many others to list). Priest doesnt have a ballad "angel" and my fav Iron Maiden only has one good song. Bs!! And now hes talking about himself in 3rd person. Nonmetalboy will entertain you. Reminds me of Jimmys under the boards jimmys in the open jimmy makes the shot. Last time i checked we were all allowed to like or dislike any band we choose without some moron trying to degrade us. Oh didnt even strain my fingers.

Kind or ironic that he questions whether or not Nickelback is "any good," yet then says they have a song that "TOTALLY kicks ass." I'd say that equates to being "any good," no?

And BTW, the song is called "Animals" with an "s".

Thanks for the fact checking, but that does not alter one thing regarding the correctness of my opinion.

METALBOY'S sh*t detector can also tell that you clowns might as well be one and the same person, so troll on...

And I got news for ya, Jason Badlands, one great song does not make a band, either. I'm just willing to credit one good song to each of these boring a*s bands you guy(s) actually think are good. Bands can be sh*t and still have one.

That said, I haven't heard any from yet another boringa*s band you mention, Lifehouse. Thanks for adding yet another crap band to the scrap heap of Mediocre Metal you hold so precious.

\m/ Metalboy! has spoken! \m/

I only mentioned Lifehouse because they're opening the show here, and because Kenny said he wanted to see The Pretty Reckless. I never said I liked Lifehouse...and to be honest, I wouldn't consider them or Nickelback to be "metal," mediocre or not.

Speaking of trolling...Opinions are neither "correct" nor "incorrect," so quit trying to force yours on everyone in nearly every thread by telling them how wrong they are. Please stick to your silly puns of band names and posting questionable facts, all while watching the bands POINT BLANK!!!!

What a goof.
March 16, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterJason
Goof, indeed, Jason... The goofball is you taking up space bringing up Hacksters like Lifehouse, so I'll keep right on tellin' ya what's good and what isn't good and continue layin' out facts, some right and some wrong, serving up that which I believe to be Metal Truth non-stop, fighting Metal Mediocrity until humorless "Metal" Meatheads like you troll yourselves right back over to BLABBERMOUTH, the sanctuary of Metal Mediocrity where you were spawned and where you belong.

Even idiots can be wrong, however, as Pretty Reckless are killer, proof that occasionally something great is universally recognized even among those who's stock and trade is MEDIOCRITY! So I'm glad you're leaving us with at least some acknowledgement of what IS actually good.

There may be hope for you yet. See if you can go help out all the Eddie Chump Jr.'s over there, as he and his disciples are perfect examples of Metal Sheeple who actually occasionally, albeit, very occasionally, get it right.

Again...you go spewing comments like they're facts. You know very little about me, or my musical tastes, save a handful of bands I have commented on here about. And while I do visit Blabbermouth numerous times a day, that's hardly where I was "spawned" from and I certainly don't belong there. I go there to read the news, but cannot stand the comments because most of the immature boneheads on there make you sound like a genius.

You on the other hand share lists of bands you do and don't like, in between crying about how lame and mean the members of Tesla are, and bragging about all the things you've seen and done over the years. I for one am not impressed by any of it. It's also obvious to many people on here that your "opinions" are questionable at best.

I'm also not sure how your mind processes things. As with Lifehouse, I simply mentioned The Pretty Reckless but never gave an opinion on them either way. Yet in your mind, I must like them since I said their name. I think they're OK. Not terribly original, and I don't think Taylor Momsen is as hot as everyone else does.

Lastly, I don't need any hope from you and I certainly don't have any love for the other goof mentioned in this thread, Eddie Trunk. I think he's another loudmouth name-dropper who quite often gets his "facts" twisted. You two sound like a match made in heaven.
March 16, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterJason
Hahaha!!!, Jason... Keep taking the bait and keep drinking the BLABBERMOUTH Kool-Aid that's brainwashed you. FACT is, I guess I called that one pretty good, since you check BLABBERMOUTH "numerous" times a day. Proof that Metalboy! sees all and KNOWS all. Man, you really are bored. Do us all a favor, next time you're on there, just STAY on there!

BTW, sorry I credited you with liking Pretty Reckless. I should have known you wouldn't recognize them, either. And when I said "idiot", I was referring to that Lifeless a*sclown, which he obviously is for wasting everyone's time, especially his own, making unremarkable music for unremarkable people.

AND, the FACT is, you're right about CHUMP consistently getting his facts wrong. As far as he and I being a match made in heaven, there's just one simple difference -- I have a built-in Metal Bullsh*t Detector, the same one I've successfully used on you, that sees right through that BOZO, determining he's COMPLETELY clueless when it comes to almost any discussion about Metal or Hard Rock. AND the same thing goes for his imbecilic sidekicks, the two most unfunny comedians to ever traverse the planet.

Now, boys.

At least we can all agree that Eddie Trunk is a goof.

That's right, Kenny O. No thine enemy!
