Thanks for coming out!!
Thanks for the epic weekend man!
Glad you enjoyed the show!🤘
Thanks for the neck injuries!
that's badass
BROOO You guys found my favourite youtuber???
Thanks for the shoutout!! 😈
Would have loved to see Halo effect! 🙌🏼
I’m the guitar tech for Thrown Into Exile and believe me, no one was more upset about missing Halo Effect more than us 😂🤘
Yea man that was a bad clash since they're similar genres. Thrown In Exile is great live tho
My band played this fest many times in the 90s. Plus we played the Rave years later as a normal gig. Always rocknroll debauchery to be had in Milwaukee. Best times of my life.
This was my first metal fest I attended and I was super satisfied about everything, walked out bloody with no regrets. Love to go back to it again next year.🤘
Same dude, I dislocated my toe during biohazard and snapped it back into place and kept going 🤘😂
Man I wish I could have gone. This sounds like such a good time
The Rave is such a awesome concert complex, just wish it had some A/C. I have seen some amazing shows there, from Mudvayne playing the 200 person capacity rave bar, to Slayer playing the huge ballroom
Man Mudvayne in a intimate setting like that must be incredible
@@taylorredwing6250 it was. LD. 50 just came out, a few months before that, I saw them opening for Slipknot, and Biohazard in the downstairs Rave, they didn't have a album out yet, but they were handing out demo cassettes with Death Blooms, Internal Primates, and Dig. I was hooked when I saw those unknown freaks take the stage
@@taylorredwing6250 It was. I saw them at Kits Korner just outside of Madison several times. Not as small as the bar at The Rave, but a sub 400 capacity.
Back in 1990 (I think) I was in 10th grade and my first show was the first show of Broken Hope. A few older kids in my high school were in the band. It was at the Libertyville, IL VFW and I didn't really consider it a big deal. They opened for a couple of bands, one of which was "Prisoner." According to Wikipedia, they eventually morphed into Jungle Rot. Hard to believe that all these years later these bands still exist and getting great reviews. I live on the other side of the planet where metal shows are very rare (we have Vader in Bangkok this week however). I would have loved to see the return of the Milwaukee Metalfest!
Dude I used to live in Libertyville. Crazy stuff.
As a younger metalhead I used to always wish to have gone to Milwaukee metal fest. All the older fliers had some of the best heavy bands in their prime. So great to have it finally come back!
Whoah, nice coverage and seemingly a great, nice festival! 🤩 Truth be told, this may be the first festival in the US that makes me think about flying from Germany to Milwaukee. Yes, we have tons of metal festivals here in Germany (Europe in general), but that 3-stage indoor concept in Milwaukee and the line-up is pretty awesome. I just think they could mix a bit more Metal genres in, not just Death Metal but some bits of Black Metal, too...😅
Back in 97 seen Emperor and Mayhem at Milwaukee Metalfest! Also seen Gorgoroth, Death, Limbonic Art. Didn't go this year, but plan on going next🤘
This lineup kinda reminds me of the metal shows and one festival I went to last year. I'm from Philadelphia, so every year, they have the Decibel Metal & Beer Festival. It was two days and had a lineup very similar to this, but they like to throw in black metal and more avant-garde metal bands. I saw Frozen Soul, Undeath, Phobophilic, Incantation, Gorguts, Mizmor, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Suicidal Tendencies were the two headliners.
And on separate tours later that year, I saw Obituary with Immolation and Unearth with Revocation (my favorite extreme metal band.)
This festival in 2000 was Children of Bodom's first American appearance so it is definitely great
Bruh, that guy with cluttered patch table is chill af. Ran into him at 4 other US fests.
I was also the Fest and made video on it too! It's great to see this festival return and offer a great metal fest experience on U.S. soil
Wow that looked like a great festival. Hell yeah for frozen soul one of my favourite newcomers cant wait to watch them again in bloodstock
Great video Wyatt and yes I remember the smell during warbringer
Right??!
Wtf?!
Would’ve loved to have seen Dark Angel. They fucking rule so hard.
Thank you for the coverage! I saw The Halo Effect in Montréal a few days before MMF, and they were spectacular!
That venue is cool as hell!
Great video! It's really good to know that festival is in hands of metal musician with experience - very promising!
I'm not a big Hatebreed guy but Jasta does alot for younger metal bands and has real good taste. I think the festival is safe with him!
Dude that venue is amazing holy shit, what a perfect place for a festival
This would have been killer to attend!!!! Thanks for the doc vid man!!!!!! HORNZ UP ALWAYZ!!! CHEERZ!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🍺🍺🍺🍺☠☠🔥🔥☠☠🍺🍺🍺🍺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🖤🖤🎶🎶💯💯
Best metal channel!! Love your content 🤘
And amazing footage!!
very enjoyable to watch thanks wish i could go to something like this
def looking to hit up 2024 edition - line up just keeps getting better and better!
Very cool you came to my city. Eagles Ballroom/Rave has an extensive history here.
I have seen so many bands there, gone through the secret passages, and down to the haunted pool.
Very very cool vid, man🤟🤟
Didn't even know there is a haunted pool haha but it's a great venue!
@@wyattsmetal yeah man, it's pretty wild. I had heard rumors from some of the security guys that Buddy Holly was swimming in it after his Milwaukee show which was his last one before he died.
I dunno how true that is....lol ...and I'm sure there are loads of stories like it.
When you were here did you see the wall where every act that's been there signed it? I don't remember if it's individual dressing rooms or the entire hallway, my last time there was Slipknot in 08 I believe, but I was blown away by how many bands were there and I recognized.
Was there and enjoyed every bit of it, will be making this an annual trip.
Ended up going to Hell in the harbor that weekend. Nice to see the scene is actually healthy enough for two festivals to coexist without cannibalizing the sales. Merch was pretty lacking over there vendor wise as well but it is what it is
I can attest that The Rave/Eagles Ballroom is a very great venue for metal shows, deserving of its reputation and praise. I was there on the Sunday with my dad, my sister, and her boyfriend thanks to some complimentary tickets I shared with them. I wish my work schedule and monetary power let me go on Saturday to see Fear Factory, but I was glad to come in time to see Machine Head and Lamb of God. I saw a kid crowdsurf multiple times during the MH show, and I got a really nice, ethereal-looking pic of Robb Flynn singing and strumming under some blue lights during "Halo."
LoG is on par with Gojira as one of the tightest, most professional and technical performances I saw at the Rave. They also ended up being the first band I moshed to, and I am so glad that it happened. I and my group were swept into it like a whirlpool when the first song came on, to the point I took a fall and was picked back up, instinctively moving towards the circle pit itself in order to flow with the current, as Bruce Lee would have wanted ("be water, my friend"). I got splashed with beer, took a couple headbutts, and fell again, knocking off my Strapping Young Lad face mask and my glasses-- both of which I thankfully held onto-- only for a couple guys, including a heavier-set one, to fall on my chest, blowing out some of my wind. I stumbled a bit back to the sound booth where my dad designated as a meetup spot, having just had the time of my goddamn life. It was cathartic controlled chaos, and a very good outlet for the stress and aggression I felt for the week beforehand. I was glad I had off work the following Monday so I could recover, still exhausted and in pain from surviving my first pit.
Thanks, by the way, for teaching me, a native Wisconsinite, how to pronounce "Milwaukee." Shoutout to Jamey Jasta for bringing the festival back. Hopefully, I can attend next year's festival and enjoy it more fully.
I was there all 3 days and my god was it a great time. Getting to see Dying Fetus, Napalm Death, Lamb Of God, Misery Index, and many more was a dream come true. This vid is a great summery of my experience. I think a good way to fix the set-time probably is to have a few less bands next year. In any case, that weekend was fire
Was there for Saturday! Best day ever 🤘
Maybe one day we'll get something like this down in South America, looks insane
Me and some friends went to this. It was our first multi day fest, will definably be going again next year
I'm 57 been in several bands to include Marshall Law in Germany. Metalfest was the best place for bands to get recognition and launch a career. I just finished 4 days at Sonic Temple in Columbus Ohio. Danny Wimmer has the best organized Metal festivals in the country these days per bands and fans I interviewed. I have gone to Ink Carceration in Mansfield Ohio many times and Louder Than Life in Louisville as well. Love your vid man. Please come to Ohio and checkout Danny's shows!!! Love to hear your thoughts. CHEERS!!
I was there all three days and it was easily one of the best metal festivals I've been to! It also helps that I live like 20 minutes from The Rave. I *really* hope they bring the festival back next year!
Got to go on Saturday! So much fun!! Hopefully if it happens next year I’ll be able to go all the days .
honestly at this point may is going to become a wicked month for metal fests in north america, that whole weekend this year there was Milwaukee metalfest, northwest terrorfest in seattle, hell in the harbor and then the week before was modified ghost festival up in vancouver BC which I went to and it was awesome!. post COVID metal and hardcore has never been better, even the shows are rowdier which is deadly!
I'm from Bismarck ND and in 1995 my band who lived and breathed death metal went to the Milwaukee Metalfest as fans. It was life changing as we came back to Bismarck and we were way heavier and faster and better than we were before. That summer I was waiting for Cannibal Corpse but what I saw at the Metalfest was the debut of Chris Barnes new band Six Feet Under. That was a highlight of that weekend. So cool that it has returned. Milwaukee!!!!!!
I took my non metal head girlfriend to see Dark tranquillity and her biggest takeaway was how happy Mikeal stanne looked and how much he was smiling. 😄
These videos are great! Appreciate this channel, thanks man!
Here in Wisconsin we also have MAD WIth Power (named for the capital city of Madison, where the festival is located) Fest, which is organized by the members of our hometown immortals Lords of the Trident. Its lineups tend to skew towards bands with an old-school traditional or power metal-influenced sound (like that of founders LotT, and befitting its name) but it's definitely open to all types of metal. Last year and this year it was/will be held at The Sylvee, Madison's newest major music venue.
Definitely the best 🤘
Biohazard is awesome. Seeing them in 2 weeks in NY. First time original line up has been together since 01
For sure, this dude should've given them a shot.
can’t wait to see Midnight opening for danzig this september!! also looking into next years Milwaukee metal fest being my first festival ever. great video as always
thank you for this video I will be going for the first time this year
Keep it up Wyatt! Great recap.
Brian of Shadows fall still has the best dreads in metal.
They were so fun
Only because Devin shaved his
He has for the past 20 yrs. Lol
it was wild seeing him walk around and stop to talk to bunch of fans too! 🤘
Hell yeah! I've been to this thing many times since I live a little over an hour away in Madison, WI
And LMFAO @ your description of the stench during Warbringer!!
Thank you for this. Its brings back the memories of working and going too metal fest. It sucks I missed 11th hour....really sucks.
THANKS FOR BEING THERE
This is the first time I've seen American metalheads *really* hyped for a festival in a long time. I hope to be able to attend it some day and I hope they stick around because there doesnt seem to be anything like it around this neck of the woods.
If this happens again and depending on the line up, would consider coming over from the UK. Venue reminds me of the New England Metal Festival i did way back in 2005, which had one of the first of Obituary's reunion shows at the time. Line up for this looked great, good combination of hardcore, thrash and death. Interestingly enough Jungle Rot are playing my hometown of Manchester next week.
Milwaukee Metalfest 2024 is happening
lol it's PhobophiLIC
Damn, you're correct
Great coverage! Was too broke to go this year and was really bummed but your video makes it a little bit better haha
Great vid !
I live in Los Angeles California and it was the first time I went to this festival last month it was crazy 3 days of pure chaos.🤟🤟🤟
The review reminds me of the ones done by the Metal Maniacs magazine. Bands not sticking to the time slot and some bands only got to play three songs back in the 1990’s. I never went to this festival. Maybe I might go someday. I still need to make it to Maryland Deathfest as well.
Wow, i though this was held in a field or something. This fest sounded the best to me when Psycho cancled for 2023 but decided to just sit festivals out this year. If Psycho doesn't return next year i may consider this, the lineup is a bit more mainstream for my taste, but its still good. I would have to agree about Midnight, they are the best thing that has happend to metal in the last 20 years, I never miss an opportunity to catch them, the energy they have is insane.
Great lineup. Can’t wait to see it get better and better!
My girlfriends dad is the bassist for the band Disinter. they played in Milwuakee last week and their logo is in their font on the lineup shirts, Check them out. really kick ass.
I was in the bar for Unearth and they effing killed! I couldn't believe that they were in the bar but at the same time I an glad that they did because it was an awesome experience.
you have to cover blue ridge rock fest, looks mental
great vid btw
Best festival i ever been and ive been in several nothing compared to this godlike tier
@12:15 was the best description of anthrax I've ever heard. That's accurate as hell lol.
Oldschool🤘🤘
The resurrection year 2 in 3 weeks..Horns up im giddy inside! This will be my 8th MMF overall
Obituary actually requested to play the Rave stage otherwise I don't think they were gonna play.
Fair enough on their part
Why? They need to play the B.R. for more fans
Great Video bro, just subscribed to your channel 🤘
Thank you!
Saw Fear Factory 3 times last year and they killed it every time! Milo is doing an incredible job as the new singer 👍🏽
Im in Green Bay waiting on a buddy. Day 2 is fucking stacked im on the way!
I heard of this from RedletterMedia, Mike Stolaska should be the first film critic growler
I love your Videos
I am going to have to go to this next year. Looks sweet.
Went to the return of NEHMF and already booked a trip for Milwaukee metalfest 2024. Coming from vermont
Love your videos. Greatings from Turkey 🤘
Bro love your videos have you heard of Mexico Metal Fest? It would awesome to see you there!
New England Metal & Hardcore Fest this Sept ....cant wait
Lamb of God as the final headliner of the festival was perfect. Cannot wait til next year
The Rave venue is in a shithole neighborhood but I've gone to countless shows there, including Milwaukee metal fest 07. Lots of good memories. Hopefully the return of MMF will convince bands to stop in Milwaukee again.
The band is pronounced Sanguisugabogg btw
Maryland Deathfest is tops
Positive comment
Response
Biohazard was all over headbangers ball in the mid 90's.
Amazing video, keep em coming.
Cool report!
I was down there for night one and it was fucking badass as hell to see all the bands, i had to leave halfway through biohazard because my ride was outside but i was so drained from seeing so many killer bands that i couldn't stand anymore and it did smell like hardcore funk and weed during warbringer...lol
Interesting side note, Glenn Benton of Deicide use to stay at the same room Dahmer would stay at. (Not the murder room) but one of them. I remember that from an old interview with him when they did shows there
Was there in 87
Nah check out Blue Ridge Rock Fest. Fantastic massive lineup. Maryland Death Fest was good as shit too.
I was there it was so great I won't forget a single moment
I'm a big Frozen Soul fan. Great discription.
Mike from redlettermedia loved this metalfest....at least the poster he liked 😂
3:53 J-dawg cameo on the left lol
My tiny bragging rights is I personally know Shadow's Fall's drummer Jason Bittner ....known him (and his wife) since the 90's...😁
Almost made it there in 2001,me and some buddies rented a U-Haul here in Vegas and it caught fire half-way there.Sadly had to Greyhound home and couldn't continue.
I like Milwaukee.
Out of all the bands I saw that weekend, Gatecreeper by far had one of the craziest pits. I could really see them becoming the next Obituary.
I can confirm those pits for Gatecreeper were crazy
@@AllThingsMetal100 for real, their was some dude at the edge of the pit just absolutely tanking people whenever they had the misfortune of bumping into him, it was fucking awesome.
@@simplestu9449 you love to see it. I feared nobody in the pit all weekend
Did i see Robb playing with Anthrax in that last clip of day 2?? That sounds sickkk
Yup! He came out with them for I Am The Law!
Went every year and two stages was a dilemma what band to see
