    I talk to a guy online about metal. Pretty much every day he's in work, so Monday to Friday he messages me with a new band to listen to, and his taste is usually decent. He hasn't sent me any bands today. I asked him for something to listen to and he couldn't come up with anything. I'm crushed. :pac:

    Glad to hear you're alright Rei ;)

    Must've been a hell of an adventure! I'm still sore I missed out on seeing one of my favourite bands, but my trip state-side was pretty good. I got a hat, so I regret nothing! :D

    I think it's been like a broken record with me lately, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm saving" and now it's all like "I'm not going anywhere, I'm recovering financially!" :pac:

    Kiss were the main reason I went and they were amazing. Better than Dublin 2010. Dunno much about FNM but I thought they were good craic. Not a muse fan but couldn't fault them, but the muse fans I was with criticised their new stuff. I listened to testament from afar and they sounded good.

    I'm just not made for 30C feckin heat though

    Damn! It would have been cool to see KISS live.
    Looking at the line up, Apart from the headliners the main stage build ups were tame enough

    KISS probably had the best list of build up acts

    Limp Bizkit
    Sabaton
    Heaven Shall Burn
    Babymetal
    Airbourne
    Opeth
    etc.....

    Agreed. The overall lineup wasn't the best. An awful lot of crap was played. Festival altogether was a mashup designed to appeal to as many tastes as possible. Gojira were very early on the first day. Went down with another to watch them (they were class) and said "Who are the next crowd? Sure, lets see what they're like". 15 seconds into the first song, we said "fcuk this" and got beers.

    I went over with 7 others, half of which weren't into the majority of the stuff. It was more of a holiday with music than anything else.

    I don't mind watching the build up acts at festivals, sometimes you discover new bands you haven't heard before and get into them, Yes I hear kISS were awesome. I was looking up YouTube for some fan videos of the festival.

    Most of the videos on their are from KISS, Metallica, Muse, Baby Metal, Incubus and Limp Bizkit.

    I'm not made for it either got burnt at 20 something degrees at DL the first day then proceeded to rain till late the Saturday to really take the piss.

    KISS were great craic as usual not sure DL show was better than The point 2010 for me but great end to the festival.

    Dying for a gig so badly.

    Missed a bunch of good ones since just before Christmas. It'll be so good to have time and money again in a month or so

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I just realised I have a favourite label. Rise Above Records. They have at least two bands I really like, psychedelic rock with female vocalists and a few others I think are pretty decent, some have moved onto other labels.

    Blood Ceremony


    Purson


    Diaganol


    Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell
    Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats
    Circulus
    Electric Wizard (who I haven't listened to that much.)

    Rise Above Records was founded in 1988 by then Napalm Death vocalist Lee Dorrian. It was started as part of the Enterprise Allowance Scheme and its initial aim was to release a few very limited edition hardcore punk 7″s.

    As time has moved on Rise Above Records nowadays releases an eclectic mix of underground rock from Doom Metal to Acid Folk and classic styled Progressive rock and Proto Metal. The prime motive of the label is to put out interesting releases by bands that we actually like!
