x-fest 9

I knew going into this past weekend that it would be one great band after another, and it was just that.

As I told you last week April 10th was and awesome day as we saw releases from numerous bands including Halestorm.

I stand at the top of the hill of the Lonestar Event Center at every event and I'm always amazed what some people try to bring into the shows. By the time everbody is inside, there's always at least two 55 gallon drums full of crap that has been confiscated.

It never fails, at every show out at the Lonestar Event Center, the question most asked...what do I need to bring. I can tell you the one thing I always find hilarious; is the sight of some pretty girl in a tight fitting skirt wearing 5-inch stilletto heels for a 6 hour outdoor concert! Hey, if that's what you want to wear, it's allowed!

We are ten days away from the first of two epic nights right here in the Hub City. I've decided to call this particular weekend simply... THE PARTY AT THE RIM OF HELL!

We are overjoyed to have the legendary Godsmack as headliners for X-Fest 9.  Together with Staind, Halestorm and Man Made Machine we expect a killer time outdoors.  For those who want to "Party On" afterwards, we're gonna rock with James Durbin and Redlight King.  We were especially pumped when we got this invitation to rock from Shannon Larkin of Godsmack.  Check it out after the jump.

Listener Adam Garcia was lucky enough to catch A.J. Hale's drum solo as well as one of the first performances of "Slave To The Grind" at a performance in Lubbock.  He uploaded the video to YouTube and forgot about.  He took a quick look the other day and guess what.....nearly 44,000 hits!  More after the jump.
