What does Independence mean to you? Does it mean knocking off work after lunch and getting shitfaced in a heavy metal parking lot in Auburn? Does it mean going shirtless with jeans and black boots? Does it mean flashing your tits at Lemmy when Motörhead takes the stage? Does it mean bearing witness to half of the Big Four? Does it mean hopping aboard a bullet train to Cold One City? Does it mean wearing a hockey mask when it’s not Halloween? Does it mean waking up in a cow pasture at 3 a.m. with an empty handle of Jack in your hand? This concert portends all those definitions, and is therefore the essence of freedom. With Anthrax, Slayer, Motörhead, Slipknot, The Devil Wears Prada, As I Lay Dying, Asking Alexandria, White Chapel, High on Fire. MIKE SEELY
