The festival was pretty much wall-to-wall bands on the polar opposite end of the “angry” spectrum from Limp Bizkit


Dude, after Limp Bizkit was Rage Against the Machine and then Metallica, that was the closing 3 bands on that night, that's some pretty aggressive music back to back to back.

Please note I'm not saying the music was to blame, but that's some pretty amped up music for an already bad situation.

There were 50 performers across the 3 days of the festival.

Of those 50, the really aggressive ones were

Korn
Limp Bizkit
RATM
Kid Rock
Metallica

And maybe one or two others. But that’s still leaves 40 or so bands that were relatively “chill.” (Note: I consider RHCP to be a relatively chill band. Though they did do a cover of Hendrix’s “Fire” right as the arsons started up.)

Also, I don’t know how RATM’s political ideology fits into the documentary’s narrative that these were a bunch of angry white frat boys amped up by macho cock rock.
