However, just at a 'what bands would I want to see' level, I eliminate Festival 1 instantly. I have only seen Morbid Angel and while they were superb, I don't want to see them again.
I look at Festival 2 and think it would be really great to see Metallica. I also like the idea of seeing all of those bands.
I look at Festival 3 and I've seen Van Halen (with Sammy Hagar), Judas Priest, Saxon, Rush, Queensryche (with Todd on vocals), and KISS (with Eric Singer). Can I see Black Sabbath when it was Bill Ward / Geezer Butler / Tony Iommi / Ozzy Osbourne? Can it be the David Lee Roth version of Van Halen? Can it be the John Bonham version of Led Zeppelin? Can it be the Peter Criss version of KISS?
Then I look at Festival 4 and I've seen Guns-n-Roses, Motley Crue, Poison, Warrant, Alice Cooper, Dokken, and Def Leppard. Do I get to choose the version of those bands from their heyday or their current version?
All things considered, I choose Festival 2.
