The Monterrey Metal Fest held on Saturday, November 13, 2004, was a great success. The Audotorio Coca-Cola which has a covered seating capacity of 7,000 overflowed to the back lawn to accommodate the more than 10,000 metal fans in support of this musical event.

The day of music began at 12:00 noon with performances by Cage, Shaman and Hatebreed. The evening's musical performances continued with a set from Dokken, followed by QUIET RIOT, Dio and finally Twisted Sister.

It was great to see so many musical friends together at this event, hanging out at the hotel, and hearing countless of stories. A truly wonderful experience for everyone in attendance.

A very sincere thank you to all the Mexican fans in attendance, many of which drove great distances and some of whom flew in to be at this concert. The fans at this event welcomed QUIET RIOT with open arms and we left the stage after our performance with a great deal of satisfaction and appreciation for the fans.

Thank you Monterrey Metal Fest Fans!
