SpacePixie Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 they put 50 cent on right before green day though, and people had to be there to get thier spaces, so yeah it was down to bad planning i think, i had to sit though like half an hour of the cent and god it was torture. Worth it though cause green day were awsome.top three bands are 1:green day2:placebo3:would be goldfinger cept it was cut short and i got crushed, so i would say lost prophets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkt Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 i agree it was silly people bottling rasmus and 50 cent. walking around leeds for the next 3 days hearing people shout "G Unit" was amusing though. my top 5 bands were:1. jurassic 52.sick of it all3.morrissey4. flogging molly5. reelbigfishthe hives and bouncing souls were also ace. as were green day but i wanted to hear more new stuff and they was a bit predictable i thought. dillinger escape plan were great just for the fact they got people to climb up the middle of the concrete jungle tent! so, looks like untitled enjoyed a few of the same bands as me...i heard 50 cent won some people over at leeds...i never watched him though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skenkness Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I was at Leeds and the bands of the weekend for me were:1. Goldfinger, even though they got cut short they were amazing.2. Flogging Molly, skank/jigging to them was pretty cool until my mate banged head with some guy and i had to take him out the tent.3. Dropkick Murphys, the pit of them that i was in kinda felt like a family by the end of the set. With everyone linking arms for the cover of the pogues 'fairy tale in new york' a particular highlight for me.4. Offspring were damn good until i got kicked in the face and my nose busted open. 5. Green day, as kirkt said it would have been good to hear more new stuff. place went crazy for 'american idiot'. stilll loved their set, although i he went a bit far with all his ohhhhhhhh's. you'll know what i mean.Other bands that i enjoyed being jurassic5, reel big fish, sick of it all and the hives.I watched the 50 cent set simply because i wanted a good place for green day. Gotta say he wasn't as bad as i expected. Maybe it was because my friends are 50 cent fans and were really getting in to it. i jsut like the whol G unit thing. The whole weekend, wherever you went you'd here random shouts of g unit.All in all a good weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkt Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 i wish i saw goldfinger dropkicks were good but i nearly fainted from dehydration after 2 consecutive circle pits. and billie joe did go too far with his "way-oh".Fireapple Red were amazing. catch them at moorings bar (18th sep) *shameless plug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psydoll Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Aye I really like Brand New now but they were kinda rubbiss supporting Incubus...Taking Back Sunday look good on all the TV shows I've seen or performances I've downloaded I must admit.

Paulscoconutass Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Minus: 3 - Clichd icelandic rock i believe, could have found a better opening actThrice: 7 - These guys rocked the boat, will purchase a CDThe Rasmus: 9 - Comedy value; watching the guitarist mime the whole set and bottles fill the skyDropkick Murphys: 4 - Songs about working in the mills, how relevant....The Streets: 8 - Good job of working the crowd, less irritating liveLostprophets: 9 - Amazing set, amazing bouncing, amazing energyPlacebo: 7 - Solid rock set - dipped in the middle50 Cent: 3 - He tried, but shit songs and lack of sound effects didn't do him any favoursGreen Day: 9.5 - Amazing set, what everyone wanted - but no 'Good Riddance'Goldie Lookin Chain: 7 - Funny banter, huge crowd, mum's got a penisTaking Back Sunday: 6 - Shoot the sound guy, good mic swinging - though he did drop itPink Grease: 8 - Disco Rock, ladyboys, afro, Banging TunesReel Big Fish: 7 - Only caught last two songs...Hundred Reasons: 6 - Started ace, fell on their faces.Modest Mouse: 3 - zzzzzzzzzzzThe Hives: 8 - Rocked The Boat, brilliant lesson in rockAsh: 7 - Nae bad, kinda dragged though.The Offspring: 9 - Amazing set, old and new choons, feeding the crowd also..5,6,7,8's: 2 - Less novelty than the mighty GLC! whoo-ooot-a-shower-of-shiteThe Holiday Plan: 1 - Can't even remember themThursday: 8 - Solid Set, but would sound better on CDAvenge Sevenfold: 6 - Cheese-mo riffs, nice solosCoheed & Cambria: 6 - Expected a bit more..Bouncing souls: 9 - Couldn't help but sing along to the catchy anthem-like songsDillinger Escape Plan*: 10 - Band of the weekend, so much extreme banter/technical fingerwork/pits... Awesome show...Goldfinger: 10 - Far too short, soundcheck was stupidly long, classic bouncy goldfingerSick Of It All: 3 - Was that one big song???Funeral: 8 - Changed soo much since last year, still playing the oldies from the 2 first E.P's"G-Unit" was the best chant of the weekend, found the best way of skipping through que's... CONGA, so much good banter and lively people at leeds - definately be heading back next year - and as for the money - seeing all those bands is well worth the 170 bucks to get down..* Self proclaimed 'Most Dangerous Band On The Planet', and they deserve that title. Dared fans to climb the structure and slide off the outside of the concrete jungle tent, then got the power cut when 3 people actually tried it. Singer didn't care about singing an entire song and just went crazy in the crowd. The two guitarists were both amazingly technical and polished. I want to know what they did in Reading that made meanfiddler consider not letting them play at Leeds the day after. When their set finished i was just left thinking 'what the fuck did i just see?' - BEAUTIFUL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
