Reading festival again this year was very good.
admittedly i got very drunk and err... utilised some of the better functions of a plant. so i didnt see a distinctly massive amount of bands but still a a fair few. such as:
(Friday)
bowling for soup - who were humorous, but only cos theyre ****.
Finch - who i thought were pretty ****ing good
The Darkness - sorry to all the uber fans i just dont really like them. they played well however and did a good live show etc.
Mclusky - ****ing brilliant as usual
+ i saw a bit of donnie darko
(Saturday)
Funeral for a friend - bloody ****ing small tent. probably the best band i saw this year, played their little welsh hearts out, and i got beaten up by a fat ginger guy (in a pit and i was the smallest so he didnt exactly have to pin me and pummel me) who broke 2 of my ribs and managed to stop me breathing for a minute by kung fu chopping me in the throat, luckily we jumped him later as he walked past our campsite he came off worse than i did.
Thrice - mmm thricey goodness
Poison the well - yyyyyyyyes mate... hardcore
bruised as ****.
CaveIn - seem them before, still got boring very quickly
Blur - hmm...rock legends...good but not awe inspiring.
Hundred Reasons - good, and they came from up the road so it was kinda inspiring
The Cooper Temple Clause - were pretty ****ing good actually. lost girlfriend in it though
the streets - yes i like them, yes they were good, yes i was pissed, yes i danced like an idiot with my girlfriend on my shoulders singing all the words...yes thats all i have to say
oh yeh and i heard a bit of boysetsfire and the movielife too...
(Sunday)
Biffy Clyro - Boring as
The used - one of my favorite bands but he said **** too much
system of a down - yes mate.... although was in a crowd collapse.
metallica - ****ing hell what can i say....
Hell is for heroes - another piece of proof that the reading organisers put the best bands in the wrong place...bloody small tent
anyway yeh, it was ****ing great other bonuses were the trolley jumping and the fight club. however after returning i realise that i get tired too quick and need to take sleeping pills with me heh
3rd year that was...and i aint planning on stopping to be perfectly honest
one bitch
people who are watching a highly energetic band and stand there...doing **** all... why dont you just watch a ****ing video. and pogoers...is going up and down that much fun?
how did other people find it/leeds?
