Well i went down there this saturday and despite paying £22 for the tkt, it was worth it( even though il nino the support band were basically bad clones of machine head)
I think possible the best part of the gig was the fact that even though it was the 'supercharger' tour ( new album) they actually only played 3 or 4 tracks off the new album and the rest was old classics!! and blatantly made my night- especially ten ton hamer!!!! oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was pretty subdued during the gig - didnt go near the pit!!! its weird - i saw them there 2 years ago and at the lost weekend and at both gigs i fell out at the end battered and bruised and laughing my head off!!!! but there was no way on saturday that u would have got me near the pit !! i think i must be getting old - once ur past 21 thats it i thinK! lol
I did enjoy it but actually it wasnt til i got home that i realised quite how good it was!!!!!!! we were listening to the albums and i got that 'oooh ive just seen that live' excitement!!!!!!
Oh yeah - they did their ususal covers set and they covered NUmber of the beast- at which point my mate got all excited and released the air guitar! lol ( rumour has it that they were meant to be getting Bruce Dickinson down to sing on it but he wasnt able to make it ARSE - that would have been great!!)
SO yeah- a great one - except for the wankers on the door that decided that i wasnt allowed to take my bag in because it was full of 54 flyers!!!!! in fact to begin with they were going to take the whole lot and bin them!! ( there were about 200 in there and these flyers are hardly cheap to print off!) fortunately i managed to convince them just to look after my bag on the door.. and i got it all back intact.
YAY i love gigs!!!!!!!
