| Serving up home-cooked Chaos
Sweaty, fist-pumping punk and metal fans slammed in a massive mosh pit at the Long Beach Arena Thursday as bands of the 2007 Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour shelled out more than five hours of punk- and metal-fused music.
Kevin Lyman, creator of the Vans Warped Tour, a popular nationwide punk tour, founded the Taste of Chaos tour in 2004.
"Warped Tour was a summer thing, and I wanted to try something different in the winter. Thus the world of metal and punk merged to form the Taste of Chaos tour," Lyman said.
This year's line-up includes Aiden, Evaline, Chiodos, Senses Fail, Saosin and headliners 30 Seconds to Mars and The Used.
Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands winner Victory Within kicked off the Long Beach concert, followed by strong sets from Evaline, Aiden, Chiodos, Saosin and Senses Fail.
