So... any first-hand accounts of the Milwaukee Metalfest?

I'm sorry, but anyone who participates in any JACK KOSHICK event deserves the misery they will ultimately get. Do a little freaking due diligence.
He's been putting on half-assed gigs and ripping off bands for decades.
 
To be honest I'd never heard of him or his festivals until the other day, we are from the uk so we wouldn't know, he probably wanted us to pay to play aswell as pay for our own travel, it only took a quick internet search to find the horror stories of the festivals he runs, and when I said this to him he became rude really quickly, insulting the bands that had been on in past festivals and denying they ever had a bad festival, also that they kick started iron maiden megadeth Metallica and saxons career, not a nice bloke.
