Post by: cephalopod on February 05, 2011, 01:52:29 PM: I don't particularly care, but I listen to their music. Besides, it's probably their last tour... part of history ;p
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: madman3 on February 05, 2011, 03:06:14 PM: It's the Slayer, Deth and Motorhead for me.

Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: cephalopod on February 05, 2011, 04:55:40 PM: Metallica, Slayer, Biffy and Weezer are the bands I'm most looking forward to. Slayer were awesome last year so I can't wait to see them again :D
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: Enigm@ on February 05, 2011, 04:57:37 PM: Slipknot? Bleh. :p
I'll go for Slayer and Megadeth if I can make it, and Slayer should have the biggest title on there, not Metallica, but oh well.
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: cephalopod on February 05, 2011, 04:59:00 PM: Metallica are the bigger band. That's why they have the bigger title. You can say Slayer are better, yeah, but Metallica are bigger.
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: Scorpion on February 05, 2011, 04:59:29 PM: Slayer are overated and there music dull and unexperimental.
Although, I don't know, I haven't seen their live performances though if that what you guys are talking about.
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: cephalopod on February 05, 2011, 05:01:21 PM: Meh. I personally do prefer Metallica but Raining Blood is a sweet song :P
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: Enigm@ on February 05, 2011, 05:03:40 PM: Slayer's most expiermental album was probably South Of Heaven. And by expierimental, I mean slow. :P

Post by: Lupus on June 03, 2011, 06:04:14 AM: BUMP.
I would actually love to go after seing the lineup but i have recently paid for tickets to the reading festival : /
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: madman3 on June 03, 2011, 06:18:23 AM: I think the absolute best metal festival this year is Bloodstock (It has Kreator, Exodus, At The Gates, Morbid Angel, Nevermore, Motorhead, Angel Witch, Coroner, Forbidden; in fact, it's just generally awesome). Shame I'm not going to that.

Post by: cephalopod on June 04, 2011, 06:10:52 AM: I'd almost prefer Reading this year, the Friday looks amazing, the Saturday isn't bad and the Sunday makes me want to cry with sadness at me not going (Muse? Playing MY FAVOURITE ALBUM IN FULL? Crycrycry.)

Still, Rock Royalty at Soni isn't bad ;)

I thought that Friday and Saturday looked dreadfully emo/immature/boring for Reading. Sunday looked good though.
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: cephalopod on June 04, 2011, 11:27:56 AM: Offspring, Deftones and White Lies are awesome on the Friday, but I'd go and see practically everyone on the main stage.

Saturday? Strokes, Pulp, Madness. 'Nuff said ;)
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: cephalopod on July 05, 2011, 11:27:57 AM: I will be almost there this time in 2 days... :D

Anyone else going now?
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 05, 2011, 02:10:46 PM: Mastodon, The Mars Volta, Opeth, Killing Joke... Holy crap I wish I was going. Sounds awesome :O
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: madman3 on July 05, 2011, 02:12:38 PM: Killing Joke is cool but I'll be busy at the big 4 at the time.

Never mind Mastodon.
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: cephalopod on July 05, 2011, 05:44:30 PM: Mars Volta is gonna kick ass, but tbh I'm more excited for the bands directly before and after them, so I'm worried they'll get.. overshadowed (':

We should probably have a GTM photo at some point, probably Thursday evening or Friday morning if you're there :P
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: Enigm@ on July 05, 2011, 05:47:17 PM: I would go, But I don't live in the UK. D:
Title: Re: Sonisphere Knebsworth 2011
Post by: madman3 on July 10, 2011, 04:57:00 PM: Everything that you would expect to be good was great other than Anthrax.

Just a thing, Alestorm were absolutely AMAZING live and by far the must fun act there.

Opeth was amusing due to some really un-subtle comedy from Mike ("I'm just a poor watchmaker, that's why my timing is so good"). Musically very good.

Anthrax lacked energy, Scott's absence really effected the band.

'Deth were good. Their new song isn't.

Slayer were fun, plus Jeff Hannemann was still ill, meaning we got Gary Holt from Exodus instead, which made it a secondary highlight.

Gojira were fun. Very good live.

Periphery were much better live than on album because the vocalist didn't sound like his whiny self.

Mastodon were decent, though I found them unimpressive :trollface

Slipknot ruined day 3. Naturally.

Bill Bailey was great, really amusing.

In Flames sucked. Naturally.

I would kill to see Megadeth live.

Nah, just kinda dull thrash. Not as good as the stuff on Endgame.

But damn, Alestorm are honestly great live. You might want to try their album versions for a bit of a taster.

I already know, and like Alestorm, I know a few people at my school who can't shut up about them lol

And dull thrash? Sounds to me better than what they had on endgame ;P

The riffs are staler than Endgame's. Less solo happy though.

Yeah, that makes Warbringer's Waking Into Nightmares the best thrash album of 09.

Post by: cephalopod on July 11, 2011, 10:28:29 AM: Amaaaazing weekend. Seem as though the metal has pretty much been reviewed (but Slipknot were pretty good), the alt-rock scene was pretty awesome there too.

Biffy Clyro - Better than I expected them to be, seem as though I thought people would bottle them. My weekend highlight, especially getting up front for it.

Weezer - Kicked aaaass, as they do. I stroked Rivers' hair ;)

You Me At Six - Kinda really sucked. I can usually live with their music but their performance was baaaad.

Kids In Glass Houses - Amazing, actually. So energetic, given the rain. Got up front, again XD

RICHARD CHEESE - DAMN, HE SO GOOD. Got on the big screens, being at the front when he walked around :')

Bill Bailey - also awesome. Almost got stuck in a mosh pit for his Rammstein-styled cover of 'Scarborough Fair' and 'Hokey Cokey' (':

In all? Amazing weekend :D
