Day two of 2016 Rock on the Range was a drier, rocking event. The rain finally stopped by early evening. There seemed to be a bigger crowd in the stadium vs. Friday night -- likely because of the improved weather. My son Sam and I had a nice day.
Some notes on the performances:
Steel Panther
These guys joke as much as they rock and I liked it. So many bands take themselves too seriously. Not these guys!
Clutch
This was my second time seeing Clutch. They always rock hard. Nice show.
Hellyeah
Not my thing. Next.
Five Finger Death Punch
I had heard of these guys but not heard their stuff. Now count me a fan. Really strong performance. Ivan Moody, lead singer: thanks for tossing the numerous guitar picks, bringing the kids up on stage, and watching out for the younger folks in the mosh pit. You guys rock.
Rob Zombie
The band and Rob Zombie came out to quite an elaborate stage, with everything from a giant boombox to large masks. Punctuated by fireworks and rocking hard throughout, Rob Zombie and band ran thru hits, songs from the new release, and album cuts. Quite the show!
We are about to leave for Day Three! Rock on!
