We talk about the phenomenal ROK performances from Sevendust, Avatar, Alien Weaponry, Beasto Blanco, and Bad Wolves, the show stealing performance from Corrosion of Conformity, Black Stone Cherry proving why they should be a headliner in the US (including the bi-monthly Jason rant of why isn't BSC bigger), Jackyl owning the ROK stage once again (including Trent professing love for Jeff Worley once again), the mighty Hatebreed, and we talk great performances from Korn, Solidify, Machine in the Mountain, Ace Frehley, Lita Ford, Hyro the Hero, Shinedown, Disturbed, Bush, Zen Hipster, Nameless Society, Buckcherry. Burdens Within, Slaughter, Steel Panther, The Glorious Sons, Light the Torch, Beartooth, Asking Alexandria, and more!
