So i got some free tix to a rock fest tomorrow. The only band that I really want to check out is Jet. Any of these other bands worth a listen live? Papa Roach, Chevelle, Framing Hanley, Skindred, Hailstorm, Shawn Fisher & the JG's, Adelita's Way. And the smaller names on the second stage are: A Fall to Rise, Society Red, Broken Trust, Love Lies & Therapy, The embraced, Supercollide, Down Theory, Sumthin Else. Thanks!

well.....people do say that bad experiences make fun stories

well if you got free tix I say go anyway. It will give you something to do. I've seen Papa Roach 3 times (2 festivals, and opening for Nickelback. The NB ticket was free. Papa Roach is pretty solid live, but I don't like them enough to see them on a headlining gig.
Saw Framing Hanley at the same festival in May and they are alright. The album is so so. I don't really understand why they chose a cover song to introduce themselves to modern radio. (It is Lollipop by Lil' Wayne). I hate it when bands do that- what does that say about their own material??

Bottom line go and have fun. It will be an experience if anything and you may come back liking some bands you saw.

I don't know. I don't think so. Then again, I don't know a whole lot about them. Are you thinking of Limp Bisquick?

oh yeah, you're right. I had them mixed up with Seether.
I have heard some comparisons to Chevelle to Tool though - but i'm not very familiar obviously.

I would make a point of catching Chevelle. Haven't heard much of their new stuff but I liked their first couple of albums. I saw them back in the day, and they put on a good show.
