  1. Back to civilisation

    in V Festival

    Posted

    Weston Park for me

    Highs

    Florence and the machine - great show, liked the way she slightly reworked songs to keep them fresh

    Neil Hannon - mocking the people who go "wooh" when they see themselves on the screen - "You get the same affect with a mirror"

    Boy Who Trapped the Sun - not seen him before but was impressed

    Pet Shop Boys - forgotten how many songs they have done and the stage show they put on was great and included really good dancers

    Temper Trap - great energy in their set and Sweet Disposition was a lovely festival moment

    Shaun Ryder - Despite the drugs he's a legend. Loved the Tinie Temper fans asking who he was - bless their cotton socks

    Seasick Steve - getting the girl on stage and singing to her was actually quite sweet.

    Ostrich burgers - tasty and apparently low in fat so quite healthy

    Free muller rice and kit kat chunkys

    Lows

    Madness - Great tunes but felt they were slightly going through the motions

    People wearing football shirts to the festival - I like footy but come on a wolves shirt is not festival fashion

    Kings of Leon - Good set but once they had done Sex on Fire I nearly got trampled by people leaving to head home - despite the set lasting another 20 minutes.

    People shouting Alan and thinking it was funnySugarbabes - Really? Come on that cash cow has bolted.

    Having to pay £3.70 for warm wine or flat carling. I know there is money to be made from the festival licence but come on let people take reasonable amounts of their own beer/wine into the arena. Treat people like idiots and they will act like it as shown by the wee throwing on most stages.

  2. Back to civilisation

    in V Festival

    Posted

    I only went Sunday Chelmsford.

    Highs.

    Skunk Anansie right down the front.

    Seasick Steve surprised how much I enjoyed him.

    The Prodigy The best I have ever seen them was totally blown away.

    Faithless didn`t actually mind them considering I don`t know any of their stuff.

    Spent time between Strongbow and Bacardi and the bar and got very drunk.

    lows.

    I don`t know why as I have been a fan since the beginning almost but I really could not get into Madness. :blink:

    Boys and girls peeing everywhere no matter where I stood someone peed next to me or at least it seemed that way hence why I missed bands as I got a bit for want of a better word pissed off with it.I know there was large Qs for the loos but be a bit discreet.I have been going to V every year since 2003 and have never known it to be that bad.

    Chavs was over run with them.

    Rotten hangover today self inflicted

  4. Did Iron Maiden not realise it was a festival?

    in Sonisphere

    Posted

    Being a big Maiden fan since 1984.I have not been so keen on the output since Fear of the Dark really.I decided on a Saturday ticket only on the basis that Maiden had just done the Somewhere back in time thing and had played most of the classics.I had a feeling they may flood the set with newer stuff (but I did not expect that amount).Boy am I glad I was right.What I have heard of the Final Frontier isn`t doing a lot for me either to be honest. :unsure:

  6. Evile or Lacuna coil

    in Sonisphere

    Posted

    To be honest I have the same dilemma seen Lacuna Coil but havent seen Evile.

    But Christina is far better looking lol. :rolleyes:

    Probably will watch Lacuna Coil as my peeps I am going with are watching them.See how I feel on the day.

    That to me is still a pretty damn good festival with 10-15 bands that I'd pay good money to see. And in my opinion still better than Download. I know there's been some odd additions, none more so than pendulum where they are on the bill but lets look at the bigger picture.
