Come on you guys, we need to SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING ROCK!!

PORTLAND, OR —- August 28th marks the date rock fans in Portland will unite for a day long celebration to “Save the Rock” after recently losing their only Active Rock station in Portland.

Sounds good, I am in. I like rock music. I like radio. I like this city. What bands are going to save the rock in Portland?

PDX Rock Fest “Save The Rock” will take place at Washington County Fairplex and feature performances by KORN, Five Finger Death Punch, Queensryche, Chevelle, Hinder, All That Remains, Duff McKagan, Like A Storm, among others.

Korn’s Jonathan Davis offered "We've always loved playing in Portland. We heard about the radio station going away and we wanted to help. We know there are some die-hard Korn fans there and we are coming to support them and stand up for rock music."

Sorry, rock. If that's all you got, then you are not worth saving.
