What? It's a good song but has no place at a festival anyways. I saw it live when I saw em play a one off show in LA.

Also nice review dude! Disagree with ya though, I The Breather=generic deathcore, but they aren't bad live. Should've caught all of Anthrax. Damn fine live band even with a predictable set. Lastly I think "meeting" Slipknot is a waste of time seriously they dont even shake your hand or say hello. What's the point then?

How so? Yeah, its a slower song, but its become a fan favorite. I don't think it'd throw off the balance of the set or anything.

By the way, I agree with you about not meeting Slipknot. I'd be pissed if I were a huge fan and they didn't even acknowledge me when I paid money to come face to face with them.

Well if they took out Gently or another slower song then maybe I'd put Snuff in. The set as it stands now has its slow parts. The crowd was tame during Gently and Vermilion and even Sulfur. Snuff would be the only acoustic-ish song played the whole day is all.

From what i heard, they dropped Vermillion and added Liberate.

If I go (and that's a REALLY big "if"), that's my plan too.

I had to read that twice to confirm that Anthrax was on the second stage and The Devil Wears Prada (who?) were on the main stage. I don't know who's worse, the people who made that decision or the ones who would pay money for something like this.

Actually, Anthrax made that decision. They wanted to headline the second stage.

Headlining the side stage > opening the main stage, they're also getting like 15-20 minutes longer because of it.

5 min longer. DWP gets 35 and Anthrax gets 40.
