Pretty good couple of days, some disappointments and some surprises as you'd expect.
Highlights and Lowlights
Day 1
Steel Panther - Piss funny and play pretty well but 20 mins is probably enough
Fear Factory - sounded crap
Dragonforce - on the same stage as Fear Factory and were really good.
Soundgarden - were horrible. Sound was shite
Faith No More - still play well but they're not believeable any more. Look too old and whats with the matching white suits and the flowers all over the stage.
He Is Legend - Never heard of them before but were friggin awesome. Have already bought the last album
Atreyu - Again hadn't heard them but were really good. Absolutely smashed it out of the park
Day 2
Godsmack - Absolutely sensational. Pissed rain in the middle but they kept on with it. Play really well and the sound was awesome.
Papa Roach - were OK but not overly brilliant.
Marilyn Manson - was actually pretty good. Haven't listened to them before but was pretty good. A lot of stuff sounded the same.
Slash - Awesome as you'd expect. Played some older GnR stuff as well which was pretty good. Sound was better than anyone on both days.
Slipknot - Left after two songs. Stage looked impressive but not for me. Couldn't hear anything other than drums
Judas Priest - Don't know, didn't get to see them because the dumbarse organisers put them on stage 4 at the same time that Slash was playing. I was hanging out to see them.
Future Business opportunity identified.........Tattoo removal. Didn't see too many people over the two days without Tatts and I reckon when most of them get about 5-10 years older they'll be clambering to get them off.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.
