Fucking hell... That was a bit...



Anyway. Not a fan of Kerrang or Metal Hammer. Terrorizer is top stuff, and we cant always get ZT in St.Helens. And i have always thought Download was a bit naff really. I dont care who Kerrang is aimed at at all, they dont cover good stuff reguarly enough for me. I used to find it to be a great source for gig news, i only used to buy it for a while for that, but now we have Myspace.

I read the album reviews in the shop as I know someone on the tills at the newsagent, I've still no idea what this crunk lark is about.

Friday night - Motley Crue or Faith No more?

This has caused great booze debate amongst the gang of us thirty year old rockers that shall be attending.

I shall be watching…THE CRUE as Dr Feelgood was the first HEAVY ROCK album I ever purchased. One of friends is going to shave my friends back get him on all fours and use him like a toilet cistern for the use of coke during GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS. The fact that he has never done coke has not put him off.

The other half of our gang are going to see FNM.

Much debate has been going on our side too. I've seen Crue 3 times and Faith no more 0 so it's another one to tick off. If FNM fail badly though I'll be running over to the Crue ASAP.

I have never seen Crue so that was the deal breaker.

Last time they played the second tent was so full you couldn't get in. Same with prodigy the year before. If it's a tent get there well early, fingers crossed it's a outdoor proper stage now though.

Just checked the map, no idea as they've moved it all around. Will be strange to not be sat in the usual spot.

They moved it all around last year. Has it gone back to normal? I don't like change.

I must check the map.

I always thought Reading was pants, but it was never about the bands that played, it was all about the campsite fun! Altho the crowd has changed a bit, lots of trendies going, but I suppose that's what happens when you play bands like Prodigy and Pendulum, fans from the other spectrum of society come down as well and ruin things sometimes. *shrugs*

I know loads of people going to Download this year so I'm tempted to rob someone and buy a ticket, but with the added bonus of a handful of decent bands. Bah!
