| Back From Chicago!
Just got back from the Chicago Riot Fest, Second year going. Imma just
say that the way it was set up this year was stupid, it took far too long to
get to each stage, but other than that it was awesome.. except the rain,
fuck the rain man | | 1 |  | Title Fight
The Last Thing You Forget
Enter the gates, takes a few minutes before you hit any stages annnnd I ended up
losing my 3 day pass on the ground. 5 minutes in, sadly I fond someone elses and
couldnt find them, so I kinda had no choice but to use theirs. Title Fight was alright | | 2 |  | Circa Survive
Blue Sky Noise
They were okay, Anthony Green is a weird mother fucker, kept on saying "come my
little chickies" then rubbed mud on everyones faces | | 3 |  | Stiff Little Fingers
Nobody's Hero
these guys packed energy, they were certainly one of the best of the entire
weekend. | | 4 |  | Clutch
Blast Tyrant
Clutch was definitely the highlight of the entire day. Neil Is such an awesome
frontman | | 5 |  | NOFX
The Decline
they played Punk In Drublic in its entirety, only saw last two songs they played off
of it, But they had twenty minutes left and I heard that familiar intro. I was never
so excited to hear a song live, they started the Decline. It only lasted 15 minutes
though when someone came on stage and said they were about to go over their
time and had to leave. | | 6 |  | Mastodon
Crack The Skye | | 7 |  | The Offspring
Smash
The played Smash. | | 8 |  | Rise Against
Siren Song Of The Counter Culture
Disappointing, They played the same set they did the day before in chicago, except
they cut the songs from Revolutions out. Their Preformance wasnt too special
either. | | 9 |  | Anti-flag
Die For The Government
First Band of the second day, also second time Ive seen them and they never
disappoint, another highlight of the weekend | | 10 |  | Samiam
You Are Freaking Me Out | | 11 |  | 7 Seconds
The Crew | | 12 |  | Streetlight Manifesto
Everything Goes Numb
Best show of the weekend, left 7 seconds early to walk the 10+ minute walk to
their stage. They continue to be my favorite live band. | | 13 |  | The World Is A Beautiful Place...
Whenever, If Ever | | 14 |  | The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Let's Face It | | 15 |  | Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
Blow In the Wind | | 16 |  | Wu-Tang Clan
Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
AWWWWWW SHIT WU-TANG | | 17 |  | Metric
Fantasies | | 18 |  | The National
Alligator
Headliner of the second night, they put on a fantastic show. | | 19 |  | Laura Stevenson
Sit Resist
Final day, sadly I was late so I missed The Menzingers | | 20 |  | The Front Bottoms
Talon Of The Hawk
Never listened before, but it was a great show | | 21 | | The Whigs
Enjoy The Company | | 22 |  | The Hold Steady
Stay Positive | | 23 |  | Tiny Moving Parts
Pleasant Living
Didn't know these guys are from Minnesota | | 24 |  | La Dispute
Rooms Of The House
Sad lack of Somewhere at the bottom.. | | 25 |  | Mineral

Watched the start of them, sounded great. | | 26 |  | Dads
American Radass (This Is Important)
Finally got to see them, they did not disappoint, incredible | | 27 |  | Dropkick Murphys

Easter | | 29 |  | Social Distortion
Social Distortion | | 30 |  | Weezer
Weezer
Went back through their discography playing their most recent to their oldest
finishing up with all of the Blue Album, it was a pretty good show and a nice closer
for the weekend | | 31 |  | Saosin
Translating The Name
Forgot I saw them, again, what the fuck anthony. This time he called us his
sunbabies and his eggies. | |

09.17.14 | Best bands were Streetlight, Clutch, Wu-tang, Stiff Little Fingers, and Social Distortion | ExcentrifugalForz
09.17.14 | What's confusing about A Green? he just wants to lock you in his basement & supply you with plenty of lotion for your dry skin. | ExcentrifugalForz
09.17.14 | it rains at riot fest every year | qiblas
09.17.14 | Good to see Clutch was one of the better bands! | Minushuman24
09.17.14 | Yeah, the rain was worse than last year though. Also, I see that, the way he called us little puppies
| Minushuman24
09.17.14 | Yeah, clutch killed it man | Minushuman24
09.17.14 | oh, Patti Smith was also pretty great | Minushuman24
09.17.14 | OH also descendents
| WellFedWhiteMale
09.18.14 | "it rains at riot fest every year"
Did it rain back in 2012? I remember dust-clouds during the Slapstick reunion set.
Good list, man! It's a bummer you skipped out early on 7 Seconds though. I think you missed them doing a partial cover of 'Minor Threat' at the end of 'Young 'Til I Die'. It was aces!
Cock Sparrer, definitely stole the weekend for me. Phenomenal performance! | MUNGOLOID
09.18.14 | rise against was good, the offspring was the biggest letdown, social distortion was aight, and patti smith blew my mind man. i wish mastodon had a longer set though. | scottpilgrim10
09.18.14 | How was Laura Stevenson? | Minushuman24
09.19.14 | Laura was great, I love her. | Minushuman24
09.19.14 | Laura was great, I love her.
I really wanted to see 7 Seconds, but I could never miss Streetlight, and I wanted to get to Cock Sparrer but I forgot what I went to instead.
I agree, Mastodon should have had a longer set, Kinda wished they played a lot more older stuff | scottpilgrim10
09.19.14 | I love her too. I definitely would have went to this over lolla, if it had been during the summer | Minushuman24
09.19.14 | yeah, you went to lolla? | scottpilgrim10
09.19.14 | yep. It was still an awesome festival though. The favorite acts that I saw were Outkast, Arctic Monkeys, and Chvrches < 3 | Minushuman24
09.19.14 | nice nice, I coulda gotten super cheap tickets but I didnt really see toooo much that I was really
intrested in
Would have gone If NIN were there like last year | scottpilgrim10
09.19.14 | the line up was pretty weak tbh | Minushuman24
09.19.14 | yeahhh, I still wanna go one year, but this year seemed like a waste | scottpilgrim10
09.19.14 | I'd don't know if the lineup is going to be any better next year. Lolla may be becoming more pop/electronic orientated. The next festival I'd love to go to is Bonaroo or Riot Fest if the lineup is as good as this year seeing Laura Stevenson and Weezer in the same day may be too much for me to handle | Rowan5215
09.19.14 | Damn Circa + Saosin fucking nice | Minushuman24
09.19.14 | Hehe, yeah it was pretty great
Rowan, according to my friend who reallllly likes both of them, theyre kind of a let down sadly |
