We Spent One Day At Welcome To Rockville And All We Got Were These Badass Photos

image

All photos by Aaron Berkshire

Alright, you turds. Listen up. We have a lot to tell you so switch on your brains and pay attention. This past weekend…   

image

Ummm, what? Shirtless Andy Black of Black Veil Brides, are you, uh, showing everyone how to turn your brain on? Oookay. No idea where you came from, but thank you? Now…

image

Hey, hey, hey. No need for showboating, Andy. We’re just trying to tell everybody what’s going on – this isn’t a screening for American Satan, you know.  

image

Great, now we pissed off randomly appearing Andy Black. YOU’RE THE ONE MESSING UP OUR INTRO, ANDY! Whatever, moving on. Most of you are probably wondering what the hell is going on…

image

Yes, just like this well-placed photo of Sam Bettley of Asking Alexandria… 

image

Annnd… yes, just like this very similar photo of Ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria. That’s odd. Anyways, back to the matter at hand. This past weekend…   

image

No, the matter at hand. Not the hand of Butcher Babies’ Heidi Shepherd. Really? C’mon. You know that’s a stretch.  

image

Okay, yes. That is technically a stretch.

image

Annnnd, so is what Johannes Eckerström of Avatar is doing here. YOU KNOW WHAT!? THAT’S ENOUGH! WE’RE THE ONES IN CHARGE HERE! 

image

Oh good god. Okay, we’re second in charge to The King of Avatar Country. Fine. But still, this is OUR write-up and we’re here to tell everyone what in the royal fuck is going on.  

image

You have got to be kidding. You took “royal” and connected it with a photo of Palaye Royale?! Those two things aren’t even…

image

Is that your weird way of saying yes? A smiling photo of Carla Harvey of Butcher Babies?

image

Whatever. We don’t care anymore. We’re just going to stick to our guns here and move forward with our regularly planned intro. What we were trying to say was… 

image

Really? A photo of Josh James of Stick To Your Guns? Sure. This prank is real legendary. Can we just move on now?

image

Schuylar Croom of He Is Legend? Seriously? You got to be…

image

And another photo of Schuylar Croom of He Is Legend. Fine. We’re sure there’s a band…  

image

Alright, alright! We get it. Is there a band you can’t interrupt us with? Maybe, we don’t know, Stone Sour? 

image

Fine. Avenged Sevenfold. 

image

Really!? How the hell did you get this? There were like 10,000 people there watching them play!

image

Exactly! So how’d you get that shot?!?

image

Aw, got it. You rode the Ferris wheel. Smart. 

image

Showboating Andy Black again? Nice touch. Fine, we’ll name a band you can’t interrupt us with. Andrew W.K. 

image

That’s right, get pissed off! We knew nobody could properly photograph the purest purveyor of positivity! His soul alone can shatter even the most expensive camera lens. Plus, he was playing at the same time as Stone Sour.  

image

That’s, uh, not Stone Sour.

image

Neither is that. Are you just posting random photos now so we can’t figure out your algorithm? 

image

Funny. Really funny. 

image

Alright, quit it! We’re here to tell these probably confused people that we sent Flordia photographer Aaron Berkshire to Welcome To Rockville to shoot day two of the festival. 

image

Yes, that’s two people from Stick To Your Guns.

image

Annnd that’s two people from Butcher Babies.

image

And that’s two people from Black Veil Brides. 

Whatever, we give up. If you happened to read down this far and want to see even more photos of Saturday’s jam-packed day at Welcome To Rockville featuring Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, Butcher Babies, He Is Legend, Palaye Royale and Stick To Your Guns, please see below. Afterward, please pray Black Mirror never becomes our reality.
