    My 7th time seeing them, and it was by far the best performance I have ever seen.

    I wish I could have been there. Such an awesome line-up of artists. The Jawbox cover was cool. One of my favorite bands of all time.

    I just recently saw Deftones with Slipknot a few weeks back. A weird tour lineup, but I called it my “high school dream tour”. Two bands that really helped shape what I would listen to in the future.

    Could very well be, although the Jackass guys did a segment called “rocket skates” on one of the movies… either way, I’m just going to go out on a limb and say I’m not alone in wanting to finally hear the end product of all the guy’s hard work… wonder if they’ll sit on “Eros” or if it will eventually see the light of day?
