Another ace monday night gig as someone also mentioned and a snip at 4 too

^ with a name like that they'd better be banging

As much as the gig was ace tonight, highlight has to be the girl who took the banter ever so seriously between me and Spike Pile Driver members Scorge and Jake ?( Hopefully i'll catch you pair next monday at the East Neuk to settle this awful feud

I have my tickets

I would prefer a 25th Anniversary Script tour myself We wouldn't have so long to wait

Is it not an indoor gig. Infact i think its in the Perth Town Hall.

Calum im ashamed at your response, 8 for 6 bands is pretty cheap i would have thought especially since 1 was from israel, 2 from Germany, 1 from Leeds, 1 from Edinburgh and the local Aberdeen band. If me and my mate Niall heard about it in Elgin there is no excuse for anybody in Aberdeen not knowing about it. I know the gig wasn't your thing Calum but to tell Kirkt to stick to punk gigs is abit harsh. Anyway i thought the gig was great Kirkt, was a real shame about the poor attendance and it was alittle embarressing during Weeping Jesus when you realised that the majority of people there were the bands.

No the QMU in Glasgow.

End of April was all that was said. That was from Rich from Lazurus Blackstar. 8) If he was lying im gonna look a complete fanny, more than normal even ?(

If the bills good the bills good, doesn't bother me if a fair percentage of the bill have played the festival before. The old Monsters of Rock had only 7 bands maximum playing, twice that when it went to 2 stages but that was over one day. We have up to a 100 bands playing over 3 days so thats alot of choice and more chance you'll like some of it and find something new too. Like someone said earlier there aren't that many Metal bands on the go that you had completely different bands each year. Think of it this way could you name 400 bands of a decent size to play, if you can tell Download that way they'll have 4 years of bills and no complaints. I personally dont think it can be done without straying far into Reading/Leeds Indie territory. This is its fourth year of DOWNLOAD and long may it continue Oh should add COME ON DOWNLOAD lets have SLAYER three years in a row

....And very sad

I think its more likely Slayer and Stone Sour. It would be ace if Cannibal Corpse did do the Download, at least they can play tracks from there first three albums in the UK unlike Germany!!!!!!!!

I am a huge Tool fan but i can see the non-Tool fans point of view. I used to absolutely detest Tool and found them boring then something clicked and i've worshipped at the alter ever since. I have seen them live three times and they are one of the best live bands i've seen but i can see why people dont like them live, the girlfriend for example loves the albums but hated them when she saw them live, they pretty much stand on the same spot the whole gig and she didn't get the whole vibe. If you dont get TOOL fair enough in time it might click, if not im sure it wont ruin your life, their only a band there to entertain at the end of the day nothing more, nothing less

That gig with Soundgarden playing was the first time the Almighty went out publicly with Pete Freezin (dont think thats how it spelt) there new guitarist. A bit of useless trivia for ya :-)

Yipe some good gigs there!!!!!

Now that does sound real good

Na this is a debate - no arguements here!!!!

Download probably have a clause saying no other festivals at Donnington this year, saying that Download is the week after so a festival a week before would destroy the grass surely. I would imagine it'll be one stage and as for Deep Purple headlineing you'll be suprised how little big Metal bands there are that could Headline a major festival. Download haven't announced who's headlineing this year and that could be Iron Maiden or ACDC and Reading/Leeds usually have a big Metal band headline too so its gonna be really intresting to see how this pans out.

Weren't you the one argueing in another posting about tollerance at Festivals and the Reading Festival staying the way it is varied music styles. Your not preaching tollerance now!!!!! There has been a huge gap in the market for many years for a festival that older rock fans can attend and not stand out like a sore thumb. The Monsters of Rock has been resurected to fill this gap, you wont be attending so why worry about it. Im not a huge fan of Deep Purple but some of your mates from Buckie still go and see Alice Cooper on every tour and i can see why he is still an excellant showman and thats what its all about entertainment. With the Rolling Stones and The Eagles doing stadium shows this year Deep Purple and Alice aren't the only 60's, 70's bands doing the rounds.
