Last weekend Knotfest hit the San Manuel Amphitheater for an amazing 3 days, with a band lineup that was a who’s who of metal. Anthrax, Black Label Society, Danzig, and of course Slipknot. In fact, Slipknot closed both the Saturday and Sunday shows with unique sets. I was lucky enough to shoot photos on Saturday, and shooting both Anthrax and Slipknot were both bucket list items for me. Ends out Black Label Society should have ben on my list too…. Amazing! Below are some photos, and a gallery, from Saturday, and if you were there please comment below what you thought of the event. Personally, I think it was one of the best run festivals I have ever been too. I’ll add that I really wanted to shoot the Danzig performance, but they did not allow photographers. Vanessa Franko of the Press Enterprise watched the performance and even drew a sketch for he online post. Girl has serious talent, but maybe next time Danzig will try to avoid the drawings and let us photograph the show.
