Daniel DeSlover for Examiner.com posted the following report on the annual Rocklahoma music festival held My 25-27 in Pryor, Oklahoma. "Megadeth and Rob Zombie closed out the Main stage with a vengeance, while Volbeat was sandwiched between on the Hard Rock stage. Megadeth's technically challenging riffs have been a mainstay of their sound for the past three decades. Guitarist Chris Broderick is the perfect complement to Dave Mustaine's over the top fretwork. Dave Ellefson returned to his rightful place on bass for the last album. They gave a headline-worthy show and primed the crowd for Zombie." Read the full report at Examiner.com.
