These make me happy in the pants!
Hope some others will impress too who I am just not yet familiar with.

Actually, I am the opposite.
If there is a band I am not too familiar with and I know I am gonna see them live I would rather first experience them live.
Sure, I have checked out a few of the others, and such.
If a band doesn't do it for me live I don't care how they sound recorded.

Fest sold out at the door. First night was amazing....all the bands were great. Looking forward to the second night....very few walk up tickets available.

2nd night was sold out...this was going against Dream Theater and Carcass at two different larger clubs. Was a great night as well.

It was a great fest .. night 2 was awesome. Black Death really helped pick the energy level up a ton, and the rest of the bands were able to carry it thru the rest of the evening. Grim Reaper was awesome. Crowds were great each night. I'm not sure if night two was quite a sellout, but Reggie's was pretty much packed with metal heads.
Bob, you and the promoters did an excellent job all around ... nice fest. Hopefully it will continue to grow, as Chicago needs some serious festivals. I'll be back again, and hopefully I can get some friends to come along next time.

there was actually more people there on saturday than friday. I was shocked myself.
Was thrilled it all turned out great with no real drama.
It was great to see you again!!
Awesome experience all around. The bands were great, the energy was high, and it was cool seeing so many people I only otherwise know online. Grim Reaper, Riot and Picture were everything I had hoped for, and I was completely blown away by newer bands Night Demon and Visigoth.

yeah it was a crazy weekend for shows. Even the club was worried for a while about the amount of metal shows that weekend but it all worked out in the end. Lot's of out of towners went to Iced Earth last night so they made it a weekend of shows.

thanks......it was odd to see so many people in there. Mike who runs the whole fest even said...our pre party hang out event had more people there than paying people the first year.
I missed last year's event, but the difference between the 2012 and 2014 event was huge in terms of organization, presentation, caliber of bands, etc. It's really good to see the event improving so dramatically.
Plus it's just really cool to know an event headlined by Riot and Grim Reaper can bring in 400+ people.
