2011 has been hauled off to the old age farm to drool on puzzles in the rec room and ask for extra prunes in its porridge but the old dog was one hell of a year for concerts.

Rain nor sweltering heat would prevent me from seeing Stone Sour at the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA on Tuesday, February 15th 2011. It was actually raining so I meant that in a literal way.

The band that is actually headlining Uproar is Disturbed who are the big boys of hard rock and have sold over 11 million albums. Their new album, which is their 5th, entitled Asylum just dropped on August 31st. Disturbed draws like crazy and their stage is covered in thrown bras every night (and mostly from women! Always a bonus.).

Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival artist Corey Taylor, vocalist of Stone Sour, has recorded a public service announcement for Child Find of America as part of the tour’s awareness campaign for the national not-for-profit organization dedicated to the prevention and resolution of child abduction (1-800-I-AM-LOST).
