Summer Festivals

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

i saw them bout a month ago. not the best expirience ive had going to a concert. Everyone dressed in black..cradle of filth shirts (i dont get it either) moody as f**k ill tell you....ugh. I tried to liven the crowd with shouting out "we want the floyd dude!!!" but to no avail

it actually occured to me that placebo are quite a boring band live and they played (nearly) the exact same set as they did the last time they were here..that and that gay dancing..... :urff:

Yep, we're definitely off, so I'll see you there Steve. Slayer, The Stooges and Monster Magnet are as much a draw as Metallica for me. To be honest, they were a bit iffy at Leeds last year - sound was blown around somewhat. That said, I was in a severly altered state by the time they came on. :roll: 8). And they're usually ace. AND it's Donnington! Yaay.

And don't forget, HIM are playing too, so there'll be plenty of young female goths to augment the foaming metalheads. :D

Should be a raucous weekend.
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

So I've bought me Move tickets..

Madness on the Thurs
Cure on the Fri
Pixies on the Sat
Morrisey on the Sun

However I must point out that although I've said Pixies for the Sat they are NOT the headliners!! WWWHHHaaaaattt tf? I can't even bring myself to mention the main band...but they come in just a fraction behind Muse...

and no danger of him getting any uglier, with any luck it will improve his, uh 'histrionics' in the vocal department?

there's some other singer who does it too....but can I buggery remember, some mancy indie type mularky, could be Keane or Snow Patrol, but then again might not be...

it's neither big or clever and ruins a good tune..

I'd love to love Muse, infact there's been many a time when the intro to one of their tracks (and they have some damned fine intros) has come on and I'm sat there thinking, i can do it...I can like 'em...then he opens his gob and no amount of wincing on my part can over ride that 'technique'
