Things I've noticed recently...

i think the excitement will always be there , i am soooooooooooooooo pumped and im not even going this year , but 2013 i am soooooooooo there cant wait wait to see the video shown on friday nite
 
I'm practically bursting with excitement to see Primordial and Symphony X, especially since Symphony X has hinted that there might be some special attention paid to 'The Divine Wings of Tragedy', since it's the 15th anniversary of said album. I never really thought I'd get to see Primordial, and after seeing 'Empire Falls' in their setlist, I'm ecstatic. I just checked out Solution .45 and Pretty Maids, and I really like what I've heard (especially Pretty Maids), so that's gonna be killer. Redemption should also be good. The rest of the bands I can take or leave (especially Epica, whom I hate), but hey, that's more time to drink and buy stuff!
