Not even close to last year. Very disspointed. Last year i travel from Peru in South America with 8 frinds. Hope the organizers choose bigger headliners (Def Leppard, Whitesanake, WASP, Motley, Maiden) and fill out some spaces with small band with a little more succes in the past like S. Bach, Styper or Danger Danger.

Well, it looks like this will be another great time for people who like nostalgia more than music. I’ll leave out my detailed opinions for now (I’m sure everyone’s brokenhearted), because Metal Mark and I will be doing a feature about Oldwasheduplightweightrockstarslahoma over at the Heavy Metal Time Machine (http://www.metalmark.org)
