You should send a PM to Aaron.  He's our resident audio/video guy.  I'm sure he'll be able to point you in the right direction.  And if they're good quality, he might even want them to post here.

Thanks, will do.

Friend of mine just uploaded the best part of the show:

I had field tickets and was fairly close and I somehow missed this. He shook it off well, though.

^Truth.

I would much rather have seen Papa Roach than Killswitch Engage or Serj Tankian. That guitarist from Killswitch Engage was a total douchebag that tried to be funny, but wasn't funny at all.

I forgot about that but remember it now. It was hysterical. He didn't even skip a beat.

Must be Adam. He's a goofball. I am a HUGE KSE fan, so I am used to his humor or lack there of.

serj is in his own little world i have decided...probably a really smart guy but he has a bizarre sense of humor.

[Peebs]

I thought he looked like Col Sanders.

He should of shut the fuck up and got me some chicken.

Honestly, with Filter and Disturbed being the most bearable, all the bands @ ROTR were horrible. You're right about Killswitch Engage. I caught some of their performance from the concession stands in the back, and I felt like I was at my high school cafeteria hearing the frontman and guitarist scream something about "your mother's pussy." The blow up doll on his back was an epic failure at comedy, indeed. What fucking idiots. I kept thinking that STP just didn't fit with 90% of the bands that played there.

Tankian simply tanked, to put it simply.

i think that's my personal quote of the day! lol.

My buddy saw him open for the foos and also said he was horrible.  No surprise really, he's a real piece of shit.  I'll never forget his post-911 comments.

Oh c'mon. They were just trying to have some fun. Lighten up a little.

Seriously though, who is STP supposed to fit in with nowadays? We can't bring all these 90s bands out of retirement. They have always been mismatched with other bands on the same bill for years now.

Believe me, I'm all for having a good time. I just thought Killswitch's show was pure fucking garbage.

And you're right, the bands of the 90s can't be resuscitated, so it's not what I was getting at. I was just a little disappointed with the other bands that played at the festival to the point that I thought STP should have started their tour at another venue. All bullshit aside, though... STP sounded great and that's what mattered to me most.

Well that's what we want to hear

Why not? 

I'm still waiting for flannel and doc martins to be cool again.  Can't wait.

I still refuse to ditch my Docs. I still have 'em, and wear them with pure loyalty.

Two pairs, in fact.

OK.  Since you admitted it first, I'll come clean.

I still have my Docs, too.  And I also refuse to throw them out and wear them from time to time.  lmao
