Edgefest Aftermath

Edgefest Aftermath

I certainly wasn't there, but the Toronto Sun's Jason MacNeil was and he wrote this review.

The following excerpt says it all.

Although Good Charlotte headlined last night's Edgefest, even lead singer Joel Madden knew that most had come for the Canadian content, namely Billy Talent.

"You guys have a lot of great bands up here," Madden told the nearly sold-out Molson Amphitheatre crowd. "I think there's going to be a Canadian invasion soon."

Playing its first live gig in more than seven months, the Maryland power punk group played favourites such as The Story Of My Old Man and Hold On from 2002's The Young And The Hopeless. When not being pelted with empty water bottles, guitarists Benji Madden and Billy Martin occasionally faced their amps, turning their backs to the crowd of mainly teens and early 20-somethings.

Now I'm sorry I wasn't there.  Pelting water bottles at the dumb asses from Good Charlotte would allow me to cross off yet another item on my "things to do before I die" list.
