I copy and pasted it from Kerrang website. I didn't write that. I am mostly excited about MH but I have been Slipknot fan since Iowa so I am really psyched for them too. Bodom are excellent so it is just a mega bill. It kicks the Unholy Alliance line up by far.

Never accept seating if you don't want it! It's always worth going down the box office for as they usually hold back tickets, or in this case could of told you about the extra wednesday date.

For future reference, gigs at Wembley Stadium/Arena have loads of tickets held at the box office, The O2 hold some back as well, and so does the Astoria. Not really sure about the rest of the London venues but I went to Hammersmith this evening and picked up 2 standing tickets for Slipknot, not sure which of the days it is though.

Just to say Madonna was AMAZING! (Cardiff - 23/08)


She looked like she was having so much fun. I was near the front and it's so weird seeing her...right there...in front of you.

Dancing, costumes, lighting, videos. Everything looked amazing, and the whole gig moved on with such an energetic pace, I swear I was thinking "WOW" almost every 10 seconds. The interludes and costume changes were slick and well thought out. Some of the songs though, I wish she didn't choose like "You Will Love Me" (which everyone seemed to bum) and "Hung Up - the rock version". But apart from that the it's hard to choose a highlight =/;

"My Sugar IS RAW"; the car on stage; Vogue/4 Minutes mash up; "IT'S BRITNEY BITCH on the screens; get into the grove/jump dancing with skipping ropes; heartbeat visuals; DIE ANOTHER DAY interlude; She's Not Me breakdown; the whole gyspy theme, and the effects during Devil...; Isla Bonita fiddles; Miles Away sing along; RAVE Like a Prayer remix; jumping like a loon to Ray Of Light; Hung Up sing along; incredible Give It 2 Me remix... URGH i could go on but these things still stick in my head...and more.

Was great meeting people, we had to wait around 6 hours (WITH NO SUPPORT ACT...that was pants) for her to come on stage. But we got talking to everyone around us and set up a circle on the floor where we al just sat and chatted and drank, so by the time the gig came on we just all danced and singed together. The atmosphere was amazing.

Although I love all the youtube videos, I kinda woulda prefered if people weren't just filming the gig infront of me. Some of them berly moved throughout the whole night, felt sorry for em.

Thanks for the advice, I will take note of that. It doesn't really matter because they guy on the phone told me they are right near the front of the seating so we will have excellent views. I can kick back with a chilled beer or 9 and watch the evenings entertainment. A little more pleasent that getting beat to **** and severley dehydrated in the pit.

I never knew about that Wednesday date though ^. I am really pissed. Tuesday for me gives them a night to warm up first so they will be in full swing when I see them.

just over a week until Madonna concert can not wait now even though the reviews have panned it as one of her worst concerts ever :(

People that I know have seen it have said its great apart from a few parts. Just better be worth the money it costs.

Madonna last night was fantastic, getting out of Wembly was not but the show was just out of the world.

Kill Hannah were absoloutley mind blowing last night. The support bands were good too for a change.

Serpico weren't to memorable but were worth a watch

My passion were a bit like MSI who I despise but I quite liked these guys

Exit Ten were great and got a really brutal pit going. I am covered in bruises now though but that happens

Right so Kill Hannah. They used Life In The Artic as their intro before coming out one by one when there parts came in and that bass line is heavy as hell live. They had strob lazers coming out of their guitars too and then Matt came out and everyone went nuts.




Set list included Boys & Girls, Believer, Love You To Death, Crazy Angel, Kennedy, A new one called Acid Rain, The Songs That Saved My Life, The Chase, a really old one where Matt got an accoustic guitar out and played then they finished with Lips Like Morphine. Every song got an incredible reaction and it turned into a near rave because everyone one was jumping up and down and there were a lot strobes. At the end Matt took a mouthful of water and sprayed it out his mouth like a fountain into the crowd and my moth was open so I swallowed a bit which was pretty cool.

I am going to grab a ticket for their London show at the end of the month tonight. They deserve so much more recognition than they get because the truly are one of the best bands EVER!

Defenders Of The Faith 2

Featuring the might Lamb Of God (finally, I've been trying to see them since 06) and the equally mighty Dimmu Borgir. Oh yeah and 5 finger death punch but I don't care about them.

I'm seeing them at Brixton Accademy on feb 14th.
