Actually, no...this is the offical line-up for the San Francisco show.

Here's the link from guerillaunion:

Sucks for the Sacramento people...their show got cancled due to slow ticket sales. But they did get the oppurtunity to make it up to SF for free, instead of cash refund..

[NESK]

ya i just checked the site. i thought rage wasnt on the sf date.

[aziz]

Here's the scheduled time for each band/artist to play..

[derek]

If that was Doom the punk band I would go

[anders]

Rage killed it. Amazing show.

[sistersuzie]

I sometimes wish I'd live on the West Coast.

[aziz]

RAGE indeed killed it....that place was rockin when they got on. Talk about fucking sardines...48,000 people+ breathing on your neck. Being in the front row was fun, if you were prepared for the worst. People were getting smashed and knocked up in every song they played.

You weren't the guy with a white HUF hat on and that olive czech messanger bag were you?

[captain5640]

I was there too. Shit was insane. People were all over the place. I love hip hop, but Rage definitely made the day worthwhile. RTb is coming to Salt Lake on Tuesday minus Rage, I'm still debating about whether or not to go. I do know that they were selling tickets for $10 while I was in San Francisco to try and get people to go because of slow tickets sales for this show as well.

P.S. The guy who ordered two beers and chugged them before he got his change so he could order two more made the day worthwhile too.

[sriracha hot sauce]

I was there as well. Got lucky and scored a VIP tix for $90, and got some nice freebies with it.

RAGE killed it. I wish I was closer when they performed but there was people that probably didnt move all day in the front. I'm more of a Hiphop fan, but Rage put the best performance out by far.

Wu got jacked on the mics for 2 straight years. Rza's mic wasnt even turned up.

[aziz]

^ Yeah, I could only hear Rza's mic when it's just him rhyming or whatever.

$10 tickets? Maybe counterfeit tickets from a scalper..that show was sold out. It didn't seem like many people at first, but once it was time for RATM to come on, that place was PACKED. A good 47,000 in my eyes..

[julianREE]

i heard doom didnt show up. what the fuck is up with that.

[habia]

I don't get what is up with Doom. I heard he played a 20 minute show in LA a couple weeks ago and then skipped on their Rock the Bells after-party.

He's good in the studio though, so I guess that's what counts.

[ogkush]

Yeah I was @ the LA rock the bells and Doom was up there for like 25 minutes tops. He did like 6 maybe 8 songs but only like 1 or 2(fazers:D ) all the way - start to finish. Murs & living L's held it down before hand. Now they said it wasn't even him up there in the mask???

[champagne_bubblebath]

On a side note, I saw the entire Wu-clique at Bloomingdales yesterday spending maaad luchini.

[julianREE]

yeah i heard that wasn't even doom up on stage, just an impersonator lip syncing to his songs. i heard he's been sick for the last few weeks so that could be why he bailed.
