| If anyone has audio/video of the full-set, I'd love to get it! I'm the "Edgar" that Dee mentioned during the set, that had tweeted him. I sent him a tweet asking for a shout-out for those us sitting in the lawn, and he certainly did that and more. That was awesome, my friends jaws dropped, and I had a grin from ear to ear. So Dee, if you see, THANKS for a great set and a very cool memory  |

Hey there! Typing away as fast as I can here... sheesh! ;-)
Full report coming--there were lots of great musical moments (and a few not so great ones) Believe it or not, there was a little snafu with our credentials, and we had to all share one pass. When I went out into the pavilion, they wouldn't allow me back!!! Even with band credentials. So I ended up a "prisoner" backstage since I couldn't go wander around. I did head out a few times when I had some errands--sorry I missed you!!! I tried.... |

Terry, I looked all day and never saw you.
P.S. I was working stage (Eddie/Jay Jay side) took care of a few wayward beach balls and had to clean up some of the mess after Dee's commentary on unplugged sets. So you probably "saw" me but didn't know it, lol. |

| here are my opinions on the festival. i only went saturday so no clue what happened friday night:
Mainstage
-Korupt- no clue who they were but were decent
- Love/Hate- these guys rock. Always have always will. Shame it’s not really LOVE/HATE but the singer and some well known l.a. musicians
-Steelheart- big fan and their singer had one of the top 3 voices at the festival this year but the setlist was weak and I really never got into it
-Trixter- saw them 3 years ago at M3 at they were good. Because the rest of the day were bands that were “must see” I got lunch here. I heard them though and the singers voice was louder in the mix this time which made it sound better. Heard they had some technical issues though
-JSRG- vixen minus the original guitar player. Sounded exactly the same as the albums from 20 years ago. Enjoyable. The singer nailed it and good setlist for the limited time they had
-Loudness- easily one of the top bands of the day. I knew very little about these guys and they hit it out of the ballpark. The singer could have been a little louder in the mix but other than that great.
-Steel Panther- these clowns took up space for a real band. Waste of time
-Twisted Sister- they were great. First time seeing them without the makeup. I think the shorter set time took away from the experience a bit as Dee had less time to interact with the crowd which is a big part of what makes them great. Like they played “I Believe in Rock nRoll”
-Bret Michaels- left after 4 songs. No reason he should have closed. I heard 3 poison songs, all 3 sounded worse then when poison plays them despite having 2 guitar players on stage instead of just CC. they also played a lynyrd skynyrd cover which I am seeing them in july so no reason to hear bret butcher it.
Overall mainstage was great but they could have cut bret michaels and steel panther and given more time to loudness and twisted sister.
Side stage
-Street light circus- didn’t see them
-Tuff- got the crowd going early in the day. Solid set but wish they had longer.
-Great White – Jack Russell was pretty much spot on. Sounded more like Great White then the other version touring which is the rest of Great White with a different singer.
-Kings X- great band. Very underrated but they seemed to not be turned up loud enough. Almost like they weren’t being put through the sound system.
-Firehouse- great as always. I am friends with the drummer and have seen them several times. He is one of the hardest hitting drummers around. The setlist could use a shake up but still solid
- Jackyl- have wanted to see these guys for a long time. If you are into old school hard rock, think redneck AC/DC, these guys still have it. Very fun and the lead singer really worked the crowd. Only thing the last song either they blew a fuse or the festival cut the lights on them for going over. Not sure which one as I have heard both.
the food was way over priced

sad you missed most of the bands on the small stage. the only band i saw you comment on other than TS was LOUDNESS. any thoughts on any of the other bands?
also about W.A.S.P. they announced 30th anniversary tour blackie said there would be a 30 minute version of crimson idol and the band hasn't played "animal" in a few years because it's a song that lyrically blackie says he can no longer sing with conviction since he became a born again christian |

Location: Baltimore, MD | I did a road report for KIX and WASP (M3 Part 1) The only band I really got to hear was Loudness. I caught a few Trixter songs, and I could hear Great White in the distance.
I was quite disappointed that there was no Animal...and the Crimson Idol set was a total sleeper. Musically it was played very well, but it had these bizarre projection screens that were just off-putting and depressing. It was, in my own opinion, a very poor artistic choice that sent many people to the exits. When they stuck to their more energetic portions of the set, it was very good. |

| oh ok. glad you were there friday and got to enjoy it. wish you could have saw more bands on saturday as i have been to M3 four times now and i would say this was one of the overall better years. usually you have several bands that just stink it up and the singer has a voice thats shot and that really wasn't the case this year |
