Jooks Reading Festival Report

[lazy_arse]

Damn, I never realised they were showing highlights on ITV2. What bands did they show? Did they show Razorlight?

[Jook]

Yeah they did, Golden Touch and an awesome new song called 'Keep the Right Profile'.

Another episode is on in like 7 minutes.

I'm not watching, it was shit last night.

Here's my review of Leeds anyways:

Friday

Thrice (7/10 Great start to the day, a brutal pit and I organised a Wall of Death which was fucking ace!)

The Rasmus (4/10 Meh, they seemed decent enough, I was sat off at the back, but the crowd rushed forward for In The Shadows.)

Dropkick Murphys (8/10 Such a great live band, it was ace! And they played Spicey McHaggis's Jig so all was good!)

The Streets (4/10 Only saw the end of this set, not too bad even though I'm not a major fan.)

Lostprophets (5/10 They seemed decent enough, but way too samey, I wasn't into it at all.)

Placebo (3/10 Does nobody understand Placebo are shit?)

50 Cent (2/10 Saw the end of his set, fucking awful.)

Supergrass (8/10 Only saw 2 songs, and it was amazing.)

Greenday (6/10 Great gig, it would have scored higher, but it's the exact same set they played 4 years ago almost.)

Mike Patton Vs Rahzel (7/10 I caught the last 20 minutes of this, it was pretty darn good.)

Saturday

Goldie Lookin Chain (2/10 Only saw the end of the set, it wasn't funny in the slightest.)

Taking Back Sunday (2/10 TBS have now proved how fucking shit they are live, 2nd time I've seen them, awful.)

Reel Big Fish (8/10 Ain't seen them live for 3 years, and they were still as good as last time I saw them. They did a wicked cover of Enter Sandman.)

Modest Mouse (7/10 Sadly only caught one song, but they were sounding as good as they did when I saw them a few months ago in Manchester.)

The Donnas (3/10 Generic rock band but with females, borefest. I left half way through to go the comedy tent.)

The Hives (7/10 Now, I'm not a Hives fan, but they were great, and the lead singer was damn funny.)

Soulwax (10/10 Amazing is the only word to describe them.)

The Offspring (6/10 Much better than when I saw them at MEN, but still nothing special from em.)

Sunday

The 5, 6, 7, 8's (1/10 Horrid.)

The Holiday Plan (3/10 Weren't too bad, only saw a few songs by them.)

Bloc Party (7/10 Pretty good band live, never heard of them before until Steph mentioned them to me that day, I was impressed.)

Alexisonfire (8/10 Great live set, and they finished on 44. Caliber Love Letter, so I was happy.)

The Bronx (7/10 Caught the end of their set, sounded pretty darn good.)

Dillinger Escape Plan (11/10 THE band of the festival for me. I was hyped to see them, and I wasn't disappointed. Fucking amazing.)

Morrissey (10/10 Not really being a Morrissey or Smith's fan, I was blown away by him, it was a true professional performance by him.)

Sick of It All (7/10 Caught the last 2 songs, but they were ace.)
