SMOKE WEED, SEE SLIPKNOT AND THE DEFTONES
Thursday, September 24th, 2009 at 3:00pm by MetalSucks
MetalSucks is sponsoring the return of the Smokeout Festival, which is being billed as “a two day mind-opening music festival and Cannabis Cup expo.” Sound interesting? Read on.
The event is taking place on October 23rd and 24th at the San Manuel Amphitheatre in San Bernadino, CA. Day one probably won’t be of much interest to most of our readers, headlined by Cypress Hill (the event’s curators) and featuring mostly hip-hop acts throughout the day; but day two is headlined by Slipknot with immediate support from The Deftones and also features Bad Brains, Pennywise and others interspersed throughout the day. Both days will feature all sorts of ganja-related madness; hemp industry exhibits, a glass art showcase, legal workshops and grow tip seminars, and a 4:20 movie night.
The best part: tickets start at only $29.50 for a two day ticket! Check back here soon, as we’ll be giving away a pair of tickets.
No thanks.
Somebody should email the guys at Metalsucks a link to this half-assed festival, that makes a hamfisted attempt at combining rap and metal. Ugh.
Slipknot headlining something like this seems very strange for some reason; the Deftones being there makes sense, I guess. Cool idea anyhow, wish I could make it out. Mayyybe if I win those free tickets.
I wouldn’t enjoy these bands no matter what drugs I was on.
No, no, and no.
Please rename it the Sellout Festival.
lol @ drugfreeworld.org add to the left of this article
hur hur hur, slipknot is popular gross
$29.50, seems a bit high for me…. and I never though Cypress Hill would be mentioned on this site
“seems a bit high for me”
HA! I get it…
Haha fuck all of you guys, this is the best thing ever. I am going to do everything I can to be at this.
Slipknot is awesome.
fuck yeah! deftones slipknot weed sounds good to me.
cypress hill, heiroglyphics, swollen members, kottonmouth kings, and immortal technique?
shiiit every rock band sucks on this tour, im going for the hiphop!!!
fuckin heiroglyphics immortal technique, and cypress hill? shit that makes the whole thing worth it…. and i dont know why everybody here hates the deftones.
this will be the gayest shit ever and i am extremely glad this is nowhere near the northeast.
forgot to add,
FUCK YOU for sponsoring this and actually giving away tickets.
i hope your parent company forced you to promote this shit because it is silly as fuck.
and this this will be depressing, not mind opening.
WOAH, YOU’RE SO FUCKING METAL, DUDE! I only wish I could be like you.
I’m there for Devin the Dude.
I wonder if anyone is even going to be searched at the gate. I’ll sneak my way in as press, but, still. I don’t want to risk it.
That’s actually a really good deal if you like the bands performing.
You guys are missing the point! They’re showing people how even terrible music can sound a little better when you’re high! Then you can go home and try it with good music
Cypress Hill are awesome live!
why?
Oh, this is just great. First Homer Simpson wrecks my pig, then Cypress Hill steals my orchestra, and now Sonic Youth’s in my cooler.
I’ll admit that the Deftones managed to make me like their latest 3 albums, and insane in the brain is fun I guess. If I lived in CA I would consider being there for the “glass art showcase.” Abstract bowl designs are so neat.
How can this be considered a “mind-opening” music festival? All bands/artists aside, this will probably just be a bunch of burnouts standing around
Love Slipknot, hate weed, Cypress Hill, and a very large part of the rest of this lineup.
Hope everyone enjoys the most annoying traffic jam in history leaving that place.
My wife calls me a “pothead that doesn’t smoke weed”. I enjoy metal, stoner flicks, Spongebob, and tacos. This festival looks awesome. If I had a way to California, I’d probably go. Have you seen the damn line-up? Christ. Seeing the Deftones alone would be awesome (better if they had Chi, but still awesome). Putting Slipknot on top of that (fuck you, they’re a fun band) and Bad Brains? Holy hell. The more I talk about this, the more I want to go. And $29.50 for both days? You can’t beat that.
omfg
you bitches bitching about DEFTONES
all that fuckin bands are sucking but DEFTONES
DEFTONES = quality music !!!
now get the hell outta here
Slipknot+Deftones= gay orgy
I think the problem is that people smoke too much weed and then listen to Slipknot and Deftones….
Sober up and then try to listen to that shit……..snoozfest!
Um, I hate weed. HATE it. I think it’s the stupidest drug on the planet.
That being said, Deftones are one of the most original and creative bands of the last twenty years. And Slipknot has just been getting better and better. Their first couple albums were fun, but these last two have just been amazing. If you can’t see that, maybe you need to get off whatever drugs you’re on.
