I hate when a tour I might go see ends up as part of a festival. The ticket price gets doubled and all you get for it is 25 shitty opening bands.

I liked the first year when they actually got bands that weren't just coming through on tour and I finally got to see Manowar. Taking 2 or 3 package tours and calling it a festival just seems half-assed to me. A good festival should have something major that you can't see anywhere else. I went to Milwaukee in 1998. They flew in Sodom, Destruction, Mayhem. Impaled Nazarene, and Emperor (pre-homosexuality). It was also Death's first show back together, Suffocation's last show, Brutal Truth's last U.S show, AND the one band that actually was on a full tour, Mercyful Fate, didn't play New England. Now that's how you do a fucking festival. Obviously Massconcerts couldn't pull something off on that scale but they should do SOMETHING to make it special.
