However, the disc (and tour) has its fair share of shortcomings. Although the premise of the tour was to unite some of the best bands (and fans) of punk, metal, and hardcore, nearly every band sounds the same. The guitarists that try to add a little power to their power chords come off as Zakk Wylde, pre-No More Tears. Some of the drumming is impressive, but each drummer lacks distinction when the next drummer on the bill plays the same fills. As far as vocals are concerned, melodies are normally passed up for growling. This comes off as being worse than it is because of the lack of contrast. Although an acoustic stage was setup to feature some of the lesser-known bands, they are given a minute's attention (at most) on the DVD, and they seem to approach their performances like bands that have been robbed of their electric gear. The audio disc is primarily the same, other than a couple of acoustic songs from the small stage bands.
