Reading/Leeds

[supergrass]

All of my clothes and such are going into one bag, which I will tie the sleeping bag's case to to join them. Then the tent...I think I can convince my girlfriend to carry it as I bought it.

And wellies are fantastic, despite my claims overwise I know I will end up with some by Friday at the latest.

Slipknot have pulled out

Bollocks. They were one of the bands I was most looking forward to.

[Rich]

Made my decision easier thought, Pendulum it is!

[Stevie B]

Not that i was going to go watch Slipknot or anything, but i jus hope this doesn't ruin my plan to watch the whole of Pendulum, and get to Tenacious D with enough time to get a desant spot. It was possible before, but i guess it all depends upon what they will do about this.

[GA!]

Apparently Bring Me The Horizon (???) will open up Friday/Sunday now with every band being moved up a slot. Now I can see Crystal Castles or The Music.

Anyway I'm off. Back on Monday kthxbai.

[YI]

Bring it the fuck on!!!

Yeah, I had to sacrifice a little booze, but I still managed to get a fucking shitload in.

[supergrass]

As the only bag I had was one standard sized rucksack I had to be very selective. Anyway, I'm off to Reading now (after breakfast), see you there. To the Leeds-folk, good luck.

[Rich]

I am off to Leeds guys will see you later, and hopefully see some of you there (even though I am unlikely to realise it!)

[Stevie B]

Have fun kids, im on my way up to Reading.

[Gazz]

Sweet!

[Stevie B]

What an awesome Reading Festival that was!!

[Nerf]

I've been watching all the sets and best bits on BBC3. The Enemy and One Night Only were fucking mint.

So, were Bring Me The Horizon any good?

[GA!]

So, were Bring Me The Horizon any good?

They didn't play Leeds according to my sister (who was in the arena at the time) - Mindless Self Indulgence just kicked things off at 12:45 instead.

By the way, I think I spotted YI during the Gaslight set. Bloke, empty beer cup in one hand, wearing a brown and purple stripy shirt (I think), near the front, only put his arms down in between songs. Yes?

[Nerf]

It's just as well they didn't play. They seem to think they're Gallows with their new song.

[GA!]

To those who were at Reading on Sunday, how did they handle the line-up with both Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold pulling out?

[Nerf]

Unless Avenged Sevenfold pulled out due to Synyster Gates' sudden death, I'm unhappy.

[Stevie B]

They pushed things forward a bit and had longer sets? Not too sure, but what i do know is Sunday was screwed up on Mainsage. I was supposed to have a half hour gap between Pendulum and Tenacious D. Time i got out of Pendulum though, Tenacious D was already a few songs in. Annoyed about not hearing them sing Kickapoo.

But still, that's about the only fault i can pick with the weekend. Oh and the sound quality of Taking Back Sunday.

[Nerf]

Taking Back Sunday's quality wasn't the equipment's fault (Y)

[Gazz]

Unless Avenged Sevenfold pulled out due to Synyster Gates' sudden death, I'm unhappy.

Singer blew his voice out

[Nerf]

I'm unhappy.
