With
Saliva,Trapt,Saving Abel,
Alien Ant Farm, Crazy Town, Tantric, 12 Stones
At Wings Stadium, Kalamazoo, Michigan
On September 11th the Kalamazoo Wings Event Center was a host to seven well known bands all of the bands could be the headline. The title of the bands on tour is Make America Rock Again starring Saliva, Trapt, Saving Abel, Alien Ant Farm, Crazy Town, Tantric and 12 Stones. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a concert at the Wings Event Center the last show I went to was White Zombie in 1995. Thanks to tunespeak.com and the band Trapt we won tickets.
The best thing about the Make America Rock tour was how patriotic the show was taking a moment of silence for the people that lost their lives from the tragic day that will always be remembered. The other thing was the show honoring the troops that serve our country. The show turned out to be a sonic buffet of rap, alternative, metal and rock which made for a total experience.
12 Stones was the first band to go on and get the crowd going. The band had no problem connecting with the crowd and got them rocking out.

All seven bands performed like headline bands do making a great concert experience for everyone and making people forget about the next day back to work and other worries. They made you remember and honor September 11th in one of the most patriotic shows we have ever experienced and was glad to be there to enjoy it. All of the bands are worth seeing again and will when they come back around on tour. A true test of any band is hearing them live and all of them made us want to hear them again.
