Chicago music fans braved a snowstorm and some of the coldest days in the city so far this year to rock out at the tenacious "Q101 Twisted." Now in its 15th year, the holiday event featured The Eagles of Death Metal [ tickets ], Cold War Kids [ tickets ], Shinedown [ tickets ], Scott Weiland [ tickets ], Saving Abel [ tickets ] and Saliva, to name a few.

The hosts at Q101.1 (WKQX-FM) took advantage of the smaller venue by splitting the lineup over a three-day period (12/16-18) and into categories in order to offer single-day tickets. With budgets tight all across the board, it's safe to assume attendees appreciated the option to choose the night that best suited their musical taste.

LiveDaily contributing photographer Lyle A. Waisman attended all 3 days, and here is a sample of some of the photos he took of the bands in action.
