Louder Than Life Festival 2023
Highland Fairgrounds
September 21-22

Weezer
Rancid
L7
Coheed and Cambria
Royal Blood

Friday
Tool
Godsmack
Limp Bizkit
Megadeth
Corey Taylor
Bad Omens






L7- A very fast moving, 35 minute set. Side stage and some technical problems. Powered through ten songs and was over.

Rancid- played a lot of old school hits. Solid

Weezer- All the hits. Great solo stuff. A great live show

Foo Fighters- High energy. Dave brings the fire in his voice. No brainer, great show.

Corey Taylor- Covers of Slipknot and Stone Sour mostly. Finished with “Ace of Spades”

Megadeth- Dave has the chops still. Wish I could’ve seen original members like Dave Ellefson.

Limp Bizkit- big letdown. Fred’s a dick. Insulted the audience quite a bit. The worst part is he had the big screens turned off so no one could see. Me and my girl nearly got crushed in the pit. Made it out alive

Godsmack- the fricking best of all of them. Drum battle was nuts. They’re top five favorite show.

Tool- to each his own. Eleven songs stretched out over two hours. No Sober, Schism. I’m not impressed one bit. Overrated if you ask me

The other bands were fine. I’d give a nod to Coheed and Bad Omens.

Here comes my video links I filmed

Godsmack- I Stand Alone
Godsmack- Whatever
Godsmack- Voodoo
Godsmack- Awake
Tool- Forty Six and Two
Limp Bizkit- Nookie
Limp Bizkit- Take A Look Around
Megadeth- Sweating Bullets
L7- Entire set (35 minutes)
Weezer- My Name Is Jonas
Weezer- Undone (The Sweater Song)
Weezer- Say It Ain’t So
Weezer- Buddy Holly
Rancid- Ruby Soho

We both had a great time. Everyone was super cool. A lot of girls walking around with titties (no pics) hanging out. A lot of walking to and from the car. Expo center is massive.

We had brunch at Wild Eggs. Jamie got the hot brown
