PHOTOS AND REVIEW: EPICENTER FESTIVAL, ALICE IN CHAINS, LINKIN PARK, DEAD BY SUNRISE, AND TOOL

Pomona, CA - The Fairplex was the scene of some great hard rock this afternoon.  Begining with Street Sweeper Social Club, Tom Morello and Boots Riley kicked it off like only they can.  Also happy to report they are some of the coolest and most down to earth guys you will meet as was the case in the media room.  Did anyone happen to notice that Tom played a small roll in the first Iron Man movie?  Whip out your blu-ray and watch the scenes when Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr) was held prisoner.  There were 2 stages, the Monster Energy Stage, which hosted the following bands, After Midnight Project, Sonny, Paper Tongues, Aesop Rock, and Atmosphere and the Main Stage that hosted Street Sweeper Social Club, Hollywood Undead, Atreyu, Wolfmother, Alice In Chains, Linkin Park, Dead by Sunrise (brief 3 song set) and Tool.  The "fire pit" during Tool's set was interesting because apparently moshing while lighting your clothes on fire is really the only way to do it.  That is of course if you are looking for 2nd and 3rd degree burns.  Have not heard if anyone got hurt, no news is good news right?  Real men of genius out there.
