[QUOTE="Dankill:454979"]The fact of the matter this year is: This is so far one of the worst line ups Loco has ever had. I'm not talking about quality, per say, as much as number. They have like 5 headline bands, most of which has little or no airplay and the main headliner is the remains of a once great band with a dead lead singer. I remember when they had a lot of bands they actually played or bands that had a serious pull. Remember when one year could have Primus, Kid ock, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Machine Head, Faith No More, Static X, Korn, ect. They got NO ONE this year. 90% of it is locals no one has ever heard of! They don't even have the Harder Faster stage anymore which was becoming one of the main draws of the past two years. I'm not saying these bands are great by any means, but lets think about this. If you were booking this bill and compared it to past locos with a $60 price tag, does it match up at all to REALLY draw people??? NO, IT DOESN'T! Either the booker has fucked up big time or something is wrong. Funny side note, I have a source inside this whole deal who told me funny stories about last year. They had a chance to book Avenged Sevenfold, but passed on them for Dope, because they'd never heard of them. They even put up a poll on the WAAF and Loco message boards asking the people to pick between A7X and Dope. A7X won by a landslide and still didn't get booked. Dope was a one hit wonder that hadn't been in rotation on WAAF in 6-7 years. 4-5 months later, they are all over A7X's nuts and have "Bat Country" on all the time. Also, they had a choice between booking Clutch or Lamb of God. They picked Clutch over a price difference of $1000. Granted, I like Clutch, Lamb of God has a huge draw and $1000 extra for a huge notiable draw like that is a no brainer for a large festival and they blew it! Plus, What the hell is the point of going to the Tweeter Center?! That has to be more expensive then Green Hill Park or the Fitchberg airport. Plus, it limits the overall room for stages and playing. The local bands get worse every year, whereas years back you could see some REAL underground Hardcore and Metal bands play there and sell less tickets for less money. It just gets worse and worse every year and just boggles my mind in terms of just pure business. It leads me to believe one thing. They absolutely 100% do not give a damn at all anymore. And yes, IT'S A FUCKING SCAM! I'm happy for my friends in Burn In Silence to get the chance to play this show without all the crap in selling tickets and whatnot, but the fact remains that this is the worst line up for Loco ever and it may do minimal for them aside from blowing away some meatheads that don't even know dick about metalcore.[/QUOTE]
