Ok, a few things:
Martian: The only band you mentioned there that I don't already listen to is Apex Twin. I'll check them out.
n0nsensical: Yeah it pretty much sucked all around cept for what we did hear of Maiden. I was very impressed with Ozzy and Black Sabbath. Most of the other main stage bands didnt' belong there imho.
Derwood: It's not that im lazy, maybe just spoiled. I work 12 hrs a day and drive for 2 more so my time is limited. Also since I live and work in LA/OC the radio stations suck. So finding new music that way is near impossible. I wish I could catch KCAL from Riverside. That station rocks! Reminds me of the KNAC days.
The crap that I refer to is the "grindcore" and "screamo" bands that sound pretty much all the same. Seems to me that record companys think it's cool to sign garage and party bands now. I know there's some good bands out there, I just hate that we get fed this crap while the good bands fall thru the cracks. Mars Volta wouldn't have got the attention if it wasn't for radio stations puting Windows in thier rotation.
Just my 2 cents.
