I didn't mind the Elms, despite them being first and having their own sound issues, FFF was ok, not my cup of tea. Of course BNL was amazing, and their sound was very good. I don't really care for the rejects, but that being said, I wanted to at least see their live show. The sound technicians absolutely screwed them, in my opinion. The band members probably couldn't tell themselves, but it was distorted beyond belief. I was sad for them. They were set up to play a huge arena and were playing a small-ish room. There was no excuse for that poor sound, especially after BNL sounding as good as they did. As far as the 'attitude', I'm really not surprised. I would probably have the same attitude if I had to headline a show that was full of BNL fans. While I can understand ZPL's reasoning for doing that, the rejects really didn't belong at a show played to 30-40 somethings like myself. Being in a band myself, I know what its like to be playing to the wrong audience. They probably didn't know what they were in for honestly. It is also unfortunate that they make teen pop-punk and that's what they are known for. They seemed to be somewhat genuinely punk-rock, and I could see how they'd be annoyed at cross-armed parents looking at them dis-approvingly. I was at the concert, as a BNL fan.
