I too work in the mobile industry so its good to keep an eye on whats going on.
in my spare time i like to listen to music(metal,rock, Stuff like that) going to gigs(recently went to the download festival) play sport,and do a bit of photography.
i dont consider myself a geek,although others may
off topic I know but how was download? I so wanted to go
amazing, Metallica were the best band of the weekend. they played for around 2hrs 40mins, and played the whole of master of puppets.
Guns N Roses were ok,but axl rose is a twat, he stormed off stage about 5 times. and we were left waiting until he was ready to come back on(he was off stage for around 40mins in total)
i was really looking forward to seeing Korn,but an hour or so before they were due to go on,there was an announcment saying Jon Davis wouldnt be performing as he was in hospital,and that Korn would play with Guest vocalists. bit gutted when i heard that ,but the guest vocalists did ok.
Tool were amazing,altough i was near the back for them and couldnt see much as they used the big screens(which are usually used so people can see the bands) for thier weird trippy graphics/videos.
Avenged Sevenfold were really good,and did an amazing cover of Walk(Pantera)
Funeral for a friend were shit and shouldnt of been there at all, bastards!
Stone Sour were really good.
and probably a load of other bands which ive forgotten.
night time was great there, as they had cinema screens,bars, entertainers, legal highs. lots of fun.
downside?- a full scale riot at the end of the weekend, armored police,attack dogs tear gas, the works...... but i slept right through it!
ive got some pictures/videos somewhere if you wanna see
anywho, back to topic
