THE FAMILY VALUES TOUR 2001
This is the 3rd in the Family
Values series - the
1st being the biggest showcase with Korn,
Limp Bizkit, Ice Cube (later
replaced by Incubus),
Orgy
and Rammstein.
It also spawned a great video of the event, Rammstein
stealing the show. This new tour features The
Stone Temple Pilots,
giving the crowd their best rock performance while Linkin
Park's metal-hip-hop-pop
hybrid is extremely effective and listenable. Static-X
never fails with their
straightforward punching attitude of mere single-riffed songs, gravel
vocals and occasional keyboard touches - still, they know how to rock.
The more acoustically driven, inflicted style of Staind
makes up the more commercial side of this hard rock fest while Deadsy
constitutes the freaky "other side", which Rammstein
fulfilled on the 1st tour. Aaron
Lewis from Staind
also pops up on his own and as a guest with Linkin
Park and a Deadsy
member with Static-X.
All a big, happy family. Produced by Josh Abraham, this album does not
exactly match its pioneer, but is a good reflection of the kind of hard
music of the time.
