And what would a tour be without the bands? Let’s give a big round of applause to Thursday, Bring Me the Horizon, Four Year Strong, Pierce the Veil, Cancer Bats and each of the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands winners.

In addition, the 2009 Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour would not have been possible without the devoted promoters and sponsors, who all stuck with the tour in the midst of hard economic times. I am very appreciative of each of the sponsors that helped make this year’s tour a good one. My thanks go out to Rockstar Energy Drink, Ernie Ball, Hard Rock Cafe, Peta2, Shirts for a Cure and Music Saves Lives.

And last, but definitely not least, I want to express my gratitude to the crew that works behind the scenes to make everything run without a hitch. Thanks to Lisa, Jen, Ray, Steve and Tommy for doing an exceptional job. It is the help and support of the fans, bands, promoters, sponsors and crew that make our tours successful. Without any of these elements, our tours wouldn’t happen.

Thank you all and we will see you next year!
