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. Yeah, this is the thing I've hated about the fest, though frankly I stopped caring awhile back, cause even the touring bands on the fest weren't even worth seeing anyway. Koshick's business practices were sketchy and I never made it to one of his fests, but it's obviously worthwhile to fly 1/2 way across the country for a lot of one-off appearances from killer bands that never play in the country... So, as of now, NEMHCF has come nowhere close to booking the kind of lineups Koshick did in his hey-day in Milwaukee and New Jersey. Suckering a lot of kids into going doesn't a good fest make.
