I was very dissapointed at MusicFest this year. The sound was horrible. You had to be standing up in the front to get a good idea of how the band sounded.
I felt bad for UpHold because there was noone there when they came on stage. I wonder if this was the weirdest gig they've ever played.
Also the WORST thing about MusicFest was the annoying YesJapan.com crew... that white dude was gettin on my nerves, presenting every band like he's on TRL and pluckin his business every 5 seconds. It got tired very fast. He was like lecturing us on how cool he was because he travels to Japan and meets random underground bands. Meh.
I wish every band had been introduced in a different way. Like in previous years, with ZZ and Camino doing grand entrances. It pumps people a lot more than some random business dude tryin' to make a profit out of Japanese underground bands.
[oh yeah, and I was SO lookin' forward to seein' Guitar Vader but at least Mothercoat was okay]
my 2 cents,
