I went to the most amazing show ever last night! it was the "Join The Army" Festival.
I missed Dead Ellington, Lifeloss, Los Bungalitos, Revenge and Shoot To Kill (The first five bands) but it doesn't matter because the second five bands compensated for missing them. :D
I got their at like 6:55 or so, Death Before Dishonor played from 7:00-7:30. They were just generic tough guy hardcore that had breakdowns for whatever reason(ugh) - overall they weren't bad but they weren't good either. Their was a huge slam pit during their set and it was very entertaining to watch...hahaha corefags.
Then Underdog played from 7:45-8:15, they were REALLY good but only like ten or so people other than me seemed to enjoy them - which was lame, but whatever. They didn't play Say It To My Face though, and that was kind of disappointing.
Then D.R.I. went on at 8:30 and they were incredible, the crowd exploded for them and they kicked ASS. (I got a picture of their setlist, it's attached to this.)
Cro-Mags played for a good 40 minutes, I honestly hadn't expected much because i'm not a huge fan of theirs on recording but they were really awesome and played my favorite cro-mags sound: Malfunction.
Then finally for the main act: Suicidal Tendencies went on at 10:30 and destroyed for 90 minutes! They opened with You Can't Bring Me Down then went right into Instutionalized and then Join The Army.
They played most of the songs off the album Join The Army which was really awesome!
But the real highlight is how the last two songs of the night, Pledge Your Allegiance and I Shot Regan, they invited the crowd onstage and me with about 60 other people crowdsurfed over the barrier and got on stage for an ONSTAGE MOSHPIT. :D
I got to hug their bassist afterwards and mike, their singer, complimented my long hair and Propagandhi shirt. :)
Overall Suicidal Tendencies, Cro-mags, D.R.I. and Underdog were all great and I highly recommend you guys seeing these bands whenever you get a chance.

1. When the Sun Burns Red by Kreator
I'd use a thrashier song like Betrayer or Love Us Or Hate Us.
8. The Unknown Knows by Voivod
I'd use one of their more thrashie songs(You're using something from when they become more psychedelic.) Like Ravenous Medicine or Tornado would be better choices.
12. Elimination by Overkill
I'd use something off their first two albums considering they're so much better and more popular. Like "feel the fire" or "powersurge"
13. Beneath the Remains by Sepultura
Sepultura is kind of random considering they're more oldschool death metal, not thrash metal...
14. Thrash 'Till Death by Destruction
I'd use "Nailed TO The Cross" personally, but whatever.
Is that a pretty good starting set? Are there any others I should add or replace with another song? Suggestions welcome!
I'd use Toxik's "Shotgun Logic" as a replacement for the sepultura one.
