Sunday was a great day!
The sun was shining, the bands were great, my iPad hadn’t suffered any more beer damage overnight.
My day started with Arch Enemy, a band that James had been following for years. He kept on talking about the lead singer’s voice. Well, I had to find out for myself…
Her voice is amazing! She’s tiny, and yet can outgrowl 20 stone guys!. Really good
Straight afterArch Enemy were Airbourne.
Airbourne are an Oz band that have taken on the groove that AC/DC are famous for, and taken it to the next level.
They are known for their dangerous stage antics.
Here their guitarist, Joel, suddenly left the stage, climbed up a speaker stack, then onto the scaffolding holding up the stage.
No ropes, no safety net.
The slice on the right is a close up.
Well, any festival just aint right unless Motorhead are playing, so of course Lemme and the boys were there doing “Ace of Spades” and all the good stuff.
The music just came coming straight after Lemme, another great favourite of mine-Bill Bailey.
I'm not sure how famous Bill is outside of the UK, so for those of you who don't know him, Bill is both a great comedian, and a very talented musician.
His humour revolves around complex word use and seeing things from a completely different viewpoint
Here he is playing the Metallica hit "Enter Sandman" on car horns-well, someone has to do it!
Time for a quick beer and then off to see Slipknot! Again, Slipknot are a band that James introduced to me 3 or 4 years ago , but having seen them at Download (In 2009?) they were a must see act
Slipknot were truly outstanding! Such great stage presence, such great showmanship and technical ability!
After that great show it just remained to get some more beer, and wander round the funfair
Yep, there were some days when it pissed down, but it was still a really good weekend
