I really try to avoid the big venues now, but Sabbath and Motörhead... I'll be checking on tickets when I get home!

It will be my birthday two days afterwards. How could I resist?  headbang

Good tip. It will probably be sold out by the time I get home. I'd check now but the internet here is worse than dial up!  How can a 4 star hotel in Hamburg Germany get away with a stone age internet connection?

Some impressive bucket drumming outside the State Theater after the NicK Cave concert last night.

BST Hyde Park 4th July Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Faith No More, Soundgarden & Soulfly

"Ozzzzzzzzzyyyyy!!!  Leeemmmmyyyy!!!..." *coughs, throws devil horns, nods head vigorously and repeat.

Well I'm all metal'd out. That was a good day. The weather was nigh on perfect, clear blue skies with a good breeze. There was something for everyone and the sets were pretty tight. By the time one wondered off for more beer and a toilet break it was time for the next act.

Highlights for me were watching Mike Patton live, that bloke can sing and Tommy Iommi...riffs of the gods. Poor Lemmy's voice was all but gone, but it didn't really matter. Once they cranked out Ace of Spades all was forgiven.

The atmosphere was good and the people really friendly. By the end of the evening though, one just wants to get home. It will be interesting to see how they will match this line up next year. I will add thank goodness for custom ear-plugs. Those rigs are deceptively loud.

Would I go again, sure. Even for an old metal-head like me it was quite civilised.

Oops, should have posted the Mayhem lineup here.  It was okay, everyone had one or two hits but only Korn could really hold my attention consistently as performers and musicians both.  Always a good chance for a Mosh and a sunburn though.  San Manuel is not too bad if you know what you are doing with the venue.  The acoustics are multiple times better than Verizon Amphitheater but that's not saying much.

6, I ended up not grabbing tickets because I had an event to photograph, sounds like I missed a good one.

Anax, how was Body Count live?

Went to see Colin Stetson who did a concert for like 140 people in a tiny lutheran church in the smallest city of Latvia. Here's how the church looks -



This was the single most powerful musical experience I've ever had. The audience left shell shocked with spaced out looks in their eyes. Met with Stetson who basically had a meet and greet with everyone after the concert. One of the most humble of men I've ever met, a complete contrast to his playing style. They were selling LP's for like 40 bucks a pop and I mentioned him that I don't like listening to his music from a vinyl record because the intense subsonic content induces feedback on the turntable. We both had a bit of a laugh about that.

I have to confess we started walking back to the main stage to get ready for the headliners and forgot they were at the gig.  Heard ICE-T come on in the background and was like, "oh yeah, forgot about them."  So can't really answer that unfortunately.
