I like the way that sidestage bands are mixed in with the main stage headliners... That way shitty bands like Pair A Dice can say they shared a stage with Twisted Sister, Kix, etc.

Yes, I called Pair A Dice a shitty band.

And by the way, is it in Herman Rarebell's contract that he be billed as "Legendary Scorpians Drummer Herman Rarebell" or is that just a fetish?

I'm going to start referring to myself as "Legendary Iconic Representation of a Genre of Music from a Time Gone By Joel Valentine"... Gee, THAT ought to increase my cred.

Maybe I can get there if I advertise myself as "Chessie--unemployed fangirl of a time gone by?" :P

herman ze german huh? i really need to see more names, a few big ones would help. honestly with the lack of summer concerts being announced locally i may end up going to a day or two providing they have a better daily lineup than they did last year.
