YEEAAAAH! I just bought 4 presale tickets to Rock the Bells. I cannot wait. The best live rock band (Rage), the best live hip-hop group(The Roots), some of the best djs(Blueprint, Dj Hi-tek, etc), plus the best of the underground… Who could pass this up?

the price:
considering I paid $20 to see blueprint last year, and 50 bucks to see rage against the machine i think $75 is a good deal. Cheaper then coachella - with a better line up too.
the venue:
Somewhere outdoors in San Bernandino. But I mean, who really cares? The headliners won't play til its sunset at earliest, so it will have cooled off by then. We'll all have sunburn and tired legs - but with out 5 dollar bottle of water, i think we'll do just fine.
rock the bells?
I think the name comes from a KRS-One song called "Bling Blung" You should check this song out if you are a hip-hop fan. As the lyrics to the chorus go: "First you see the bling then feel the blung. This is the way that the world is run. Can't you tell - bling blung - ROCK THE BELLS!"
my conspiracy theory:
My guess is that when all these tickets sell out, Rage will be playing a lot more then 4 shows. First they sold out Coachella by saying it was going to be their only show, now "in response to the response," they will be playing only a few more. Does anyone else smell bull? Audioslave is over, and Zach de la Rocha's solo career didn't go anywhere, so I wonder whats going to happen? Reunion Tour! Then hopefully at least one more album!
my other theory:
Since you can never bring anything into these huge events, we're all going to spend at least 30 bucks each on food and water, so get over that part and just plan on it.
This isn't until August 11th, but until then I will be jumping around like a joyous 5th grader holding a slushy on a hot day.
