I'll start by asking.
"What is the name of the song by A that goes "We've all got our problems"?"
Okay. I got back from Finsbury Park at 1pm exactly. Extremely good day. Got there at around half one and waited for about four hours whilst they set up. Pretty good though, cos we got a decent place, in the most pit too heh. The first band to come on were 'thisGIRL'. Pretty good, if you ask me. They played a few songs. Everybody was throwing bottles at the lead singer. So he said, "If you get your willy (the real word he said is filtered) out an wee into a bottle, throw it up here and I'll drink it!"
That scared them. Not. About 50 bottle of a yellow liquid came flying at him. He picked one up...drunk half and poured the rest over his head. Eurgh.
Next up was Buffy Kyro (I really mispelt that :cD). They rocked too. Crowd was pumped up. Crowd surfing began :cD.
Then we had InMe, who were amazing. Totally cool guys. They played for around half an hour. Next up was the Cooper Temple Clause. I like them, and their most recent live gigs rocked. This one sucked. Ah well.
Then it was A. They rocked too. A band I hated, now I think they rock.
THEN...after lots of MTV interviews, Fred Durst and his boys came out. New guitarist doesn't know how to play some of the songs (like Rollin' and Boiler), so their show was cut to an hour. Still rocked though. Fred Durst came within 5 yards of me, so I should be on TV. YeY. The pyros were like bloody amazing stuff. If you watch it on TV...times the atmosphere by 10 and you can imagine you were there. I was totally into it, for the first time of the time. I was jumping, singing. You name it...I probably...didn't do it. Or something. Gig finished at 10.30pm. Oh, and before I forget. Britney is a beotch (or bitc... for you people); just as Fred Durst.
On the way home, we got on the train and some drunk dudes were having a massive arguement over who is better at maths.
"Oh, didn't you say your parents are away on holiday next week? You gunna have parties?"
"Yes. All my mates are coming over and we're gunna discuss long division and Pi."
Funny actually being there. We all laughed out loud. Me, my bro and this lady without any underwear. And my brother farted. Some kid got off, he had a blond mohecian down his hair. When everyone smelt it, they started making comments about him being a skunk :cD
Genius. And then I got in. Brilliant day. Loved it all. Lots of throwing water and bottles at the people who couldn't get into the mosh pit ;c)
But they'll make it big big in a year.
I don't think they will. I downloaded a few tracks after I got back from the Deftones gig and their produced songs suck. But they sounded great live hmmmmm
The Coopers would be pretty crap at a place like Finsbury, some bands just can't hold a big stage, and they're on of them. But if you were to see them on a smaller stage, they'd rock.
Glad you had a good time.
See what I did there?
> I like all the inME songs until he starts singing.
Exactly. Although I like a lot of stuff with weird voices (Guns 'n Roses, Sting, Joe Jackson, Vex Red, Lost Prophets, Cyclefly etc) so I can see why people could like it.
He sounds like a bleating sheep to me though. ;)
And the Coopers are awesome.
On a brighter note i had a fantastic day, saw david blaine and was glad to see alec zane (the mtv dude who kept coming on stage) getting booed off.
The song you are reffering to is "good time" and is a great song and A were fantastic support, he even acknowledge (pointed and stuck his thumb up) my "EXIT" sign i stole from David Blaine's: above the below and plastered with the free stickers i got there.
I was lucky to get in there, I think only the first 10,000 got a wristband allowing them into the main area... well i thought it was pointless and snapped it... then i found i needed it to get into the main area (dunno why). I panicked and ran about trying to find a way in and then my brother who got in came to the edge, past me his wristband and I got in.
Limp Bizkit were amazing, I wasn't a massive fan but I am now... wish they had played Boiler and re-arranged mind.
Biffy Clyo and that punk band sucked ar$e (Biffy less than) and Cooper Temple Clause were a major dissapointment.
But I only got up to see A and Limp Bizkit anyway as i've seen Inme so many times before.
>Who's the new guitarist then? Last time I saw them they had two replacing >Wes...
I think his name is Mike Smith
