The Family Values Tour concert was a lot of fun. Seven hours of hardcore/metal/rock/alternative music on two stages some of which I loved and some of which I loved laughing at.
Twin Method looked a bit like some sitcom's gender bending "boys gone bad" version of the Spice Girls with each members punk colored hair matching their clothing accessories. Still I really enjoyed their sound and how tight their arrangements were. I even enjoyed the lead vocalist who sounded like he had just finished blowing satan and hadn't yet stopped retching the demonic bile from his stomach.
Through You was great. For me, they were the previously-unknown band of the day that I'd like to hear more of.
Five Finger Death Punch had a cute lead singer. He took his shirt off for me. What a swell guy.
Hellyeah was so hell no.
Flyleaf brought the first girl power to the day with their lead vocalist. They also brought a little more sophisticated sound than a lot of the bands. Though they still practiced the standard hardcore moved of head banging with long locks of hair and repeatedly jumping off anything and everything around them. Ok, the leap off a double high tower of speakers was pretty cool.
Korn wrapped up the evening with more head banging, screaming and an impressive stage set-up, but my favorite band of the day was by far Evanescence. They put on a good show, had a great sound and an amazing light show. They were worth the ticket price alone.
