Two of my absolute favorites hit Lollapalooza this weekend and both shredded. Now there's a bazillion bands at the event, but I'm sorry, I look at almost all of them as filler.  There are almost no bands that even deserve to be on the same stage as the Chilli's and Sabbath.  More after the jump.

I'm "eating some words" here.  I initially said that the three Skrillex tracks on the new Korn "The Path To Totality" c.d. were the only good ones.  I'm going to add this one to the list, and after this, I'm going to go back and give the c.d. a couple more listens.  What makes this stick out a little less than the Skrillex tracks (Get Up, Narcissistic Cannibal, Chaos Lives In E
