Hi I just got back from the Roskilde fest in Denmark.
Umm..Fantomas is like one billion times better with Bozzio playing. He makes all those sick unison lines they play about a billion times sicker with his overtly large drumset and not to mention the fact that he's so much of a better player in general than Lombardo.
I saw Maldoror which is Patton and one dude from Merzbow which was pretty killer. Also saw Patton and Rahzel and I didn't see Patton/Kaada but my friend siad it was sweet as hell.
Sunn0))) played and the best thing about it was watching the festival crowd waiting 25 minutes for the song to begin and realizing finally that this was the song.
What else stands out in my head....let's see
The Dreseden Dolls were a great show, amazing performance, I got goosebumps a couple times. Chick has mad hairy pits though.
I saw snoop dogg and then I saw a real hip hop show. The Perceptionists killed it with over a half an hour of free styles at the end of their set. Mr. Lif is so much better live than on his records.
Mastadon killed as expected as did Isis..Black Sabbath was embarassing and I left after three songs so that I wouldn't tarnish any further the love I have for black sabbath as it was.
Audioslave was alright but Chris Cornell was kinda spotty. Velvet Revolver was drunk and crappy, even the gnr and stp songs sounded like shit. Green Day and Fo Fighters were awesome fun when intoxicated.
Four Tet and Khonnor were the best electronic acts. Autechre was pretty dissapointing and uneventful.
Efterklang was really great, Kayo Dot fans might dig them.
13 & God were really awesome and as a result of one of the most historically monumental hangovers ever recorded, I missed Bloc Party, Bright Eyes, Interpol, ...and you will know us...and the plentitude of hitting on drunking scenster chicks which accompanies such bands.
Also the night before the fest whilst drank rakija with the guys from Raunchy and I fell in the bathroom and busted my eye open, but on the up side, it has left me a very heavy metal scar, so I got that going for me...which is nice.
pics to come.
