ZOMBIE DELIVERS!!
by Islandrocker on 2012-10-02Mandalay Bay Resort - Las VegasWas at the 48 hour festival last year and it kicked ass!! This year was even better!! We were most surprised by how awesome the sound was outside for POD! On the floor for both nights. Godsmack rocked - as usual!!....they never disappoint! Absolutely LOVE the duelling drums!! Shannon Larkin is my hero!! I was as close to the moshpit as I could get. special thanks to the big dudes in front of me who protected us from getting slammed! Godsmack should have headlined the first night instead of Shinedown. Nothing against Shinedown....but they do more rock ballads than hard rock. I call it girl rock. LOL Great performers - lots of energy....just the wrong music for such a hard rockin' bill. I was impressed with Corey Taylor, even if his band didn't make it....next year, I hope he comes with Slipknot! Adelita's Way also surprised me especially when they went into Rage Against The Machine's "Bullet in the Head" riff! Way to go! Manson was great! Saw him a couple of years ago and he didn't impress - this time he brought it! I've been a Zombie fan for 20 years - good to see he brought his A game! He even played my all time Rob Zombie song....Meet the Creeper! Thank you!! The venue was awesome - the staff were great! Loved the bartender who mixes a drink the way he likes to drink em!! Will definitely make the trip from Victoria, Canada again next year!!
