@kryptik: As a self-confessed Trekkie the news of this teleportation is brilliant.

My word, what a show! It was hardcore! And good! Never experienced an encore beg from the crowd after such a heavy show:) blindside showed what they are made of, and it is good stuff! I managed to get about close enough to be close but avoid the mosh pit, which was just crazy! In the last song Christian climbed on the railing of the balcony surrounding the floor area and jumped from there, and continued singing all the while! The stage was small but according to people who went to woodstock the guitarist does flips on stage while playing...wow!
The opening act was called Subrosa. A bunch of young chaps, and i enjoyed them a lot. Spoke to them afterwards when i took stuff to the car and they were standing there alone. They were so excited when i complemented them. They were signing a cd for someone, and asked me to sign it aswell. Got some pics of that:)
What a fun evening! Psycho and wanqa, you would have loved it! Never seen the slipknot crowd so excited:)

Hell ya! But why avoid the mosh pit Francois dear you're missing out?! Certain mindless barbaric activities bring us back to our monkey roots... And it's a good thing!
Okay there may be some hypocrisy there, i also don't jump in the mosh pit all that often! Got to preserve my brain cells this term anyway while i write my finals. Sigh.

Good luck on those finals, Psycho, and to any and all who are preparing/writing exams.

A couple of weeks back a 21 year-old who'd been raised on a steady diet of soppy love songs and teeny pop asked me what a "mosh pit" was...I didn't know whether to laugh or just to direct her to
Wikipedia.
Cypress Hill and House Pain...some good hiphop to mosh to.

@ psycho, i am an observer...i am the guy who would sit on the sideline, and make fun of life...that is what makes it worth it on some days....I have had my days right in front of the stage taking the full fury of the mosh pit, but there would always be a sweaty guy without a shirt behind me, and for some reason he would jump on my foot, and I would get tired of giving the drunk bugger the fist, so yeah=) lol!

@ Brix, should have given a list of keywords to this 21-year old....like head banging, and crowd surfing....had some killer crowd surfing going on last night....Will be putting together a noisy video blog later and upload it to myspace, but the sound will be highly distorted...
Oh, this is funny:
Styles(they even have styles?lol!)
There are various styles of head banging, including:
* The up and down: the most common style, which involves shaking the head up and down. This style is demonstrated at the climax of the "Bohemian Rhapsody" scene in the movie Wayne's World. (this was quite funny-legendary movie)
And on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headbanging the picture they use is a South African picture...quite interesting!

@ Francois,
I would sooo love to have been at the gig as well. Glad to hear that it was such a success.
If you're able to get this side of the pond around 8-10 June 2007, let me know...the Download Festival 2007 is on. No confirmed bands as yet, but if this year's line-up was anything to go by...:

Hei, now both of those I diiiggg!!!House of Pain's 'Jump' immediately comes to mind (a delightful music video taken partly in a pub and amongst St. Patrick's Day paraders on the street), and Cypress Hill's iconic Black Sunday album is one of my all-time faves.
The first time I heard Cypress Hill was when they had 'Cock The Hammer' on the 'Last Action Hero' soundtrack, around '93 if I'm not mistaken, but my 3 fave CH songs have to be Insane In The Brain, (I'll never forget Beavis and Butt-head bopping to this)Hits From The Bong and the legendary,dreamy 'Wanna Get High....!'
Did you guys ever see the music video to Dr. Greenthumb? Their Skulls n' Bones double album was also really bril and memorable.

Insane in the brain was classic...But my favorite was still the Spanish album with that on...Jim used to have it in his car...why? No-one knew, him least of all! Oh the old days...
My word, that line-up looks so cool! Do not know if I would be able to handle so much loud music in 3 days....lol! Do not know half of those bands!
I see Stone Sour also played, Corey Taylor of Slipknot's other band...Never heard them...wonder if they are any good....

@ Francois,
I'm no Stone Sour fan; it's a lot less er... phosphorous compared to The 'Knot, more bordering on run-of-the-mill hard rock...(IMHO)
I'm not that mad about Joey Jordison's other project as well, ie. Murderdolls. Their music doesn't float my boat either. Just my personal prefernces, of course.
As Slipknot played at the Download Festival the year before, they weren't thus present at this one, but who knows...maybe next year again, with the likes of Machine Head etc. in tow, all being well...
