Re the Sabaton London show
Nobody put on the candy man thong. Joakim threw it at the drummer who ate a bit of it, then at a guitarist, who also ate a bit of it.
The show was lot of fun, even though the sound was bloody awful. I could hear the drums, vocals and piped in keyboards, but could barely make out the rhythm guitar. A curious thing I noticed was that one of the guitarists frequently stopped playing his guitar mid-song (when he obviously should have been playing it), and it made little difference to the sound. It was still a good show, though. The parts where Joakim joked about with the crowd were surprisingly good. Normally they make me roll my eyes and shout "FFS, GET ON WITH IT!"
