We're going to Tuska festival, but I think I fucked up when planning. If England finish first then the match clashes with Opeth, if second then Bring me the Horizon. The BMTH lads must have assumed we'd smash the group when they were negotiating times. Just clicked on that link and can honestly say I've never heard of a fucking single one of them bands !! 🤭 I can't imagine there's anyone else who's bothered to travel there from the US 😆 Heavier music is definitely an acquired taste.

Taylor Swift with my 6 year old daughter.
I actually rate her as a songwriter, but unless she was having an off night she can't sing, and I'm no longer the world's worst dancer.
The cult of Taylor Swift is frightening though, pretty sure she'll have taken over the world in the next 5 years.......

I’ve been convinced for a number of years now that she’s part of the New World Order and her latest “performances” have only cemented that view. And I don’t care whether you read this or not, just stating my slightly irrational view of “Swifty”.

Coldplay's bland rock captured the previous generation, now the youngsters are being captured by Swift's bland pop.

The new stuff however is absolute shite.

Find it comical how they’ve developed this ultra-liberal neo-hippy vibe but were obvs posho’s to begin with, Oxbridge I would imagine, and if you dissected their lyrics - other than 1 or 2 tracks - they’re unbelievably BLAND

Well here’s one to ponder being asked to see the ABBA hologram show, mid priced tickets are £142 each, plus hotel, train tickets , food and drinks so it’ll be close to £1000 for the two of us.
Trying to get out of it as we can get a week in Greece for less

Was a great Gig. Did you enjoy? I thought Embrace and Cast were excellent. OCS were a bit hit a miss at times but they were one my favourite bands so still loved it. £6 for can on San Miguel though! I agree a 100% with you. I loved it all. Embrace are awesome and I think a shorter set suits them because it allows them to get all the hits out instead of being wishy washy. CAST were awesome. Did you see Skin having some kind of agro episode a couple of songs in? I have seen Ocean Colour Scene a number of times of the past few weeks, so, I kind of switch off when it comes to their set only to be awoken with the last couple of songs they do, 100 mile high city and the day we caught the train. I watched some of the sets from a balcony on the Liver bird building and the noise made for OCS was ridiculous. Great setting for a concert though with 6,000 people in attendance You were up the Liver Building? Posh bastard I didn't any signs of agro, what happened?

[br After the 3rd song had finished, he through his guitar down to the ground, ran straight over to the sound engineer, went fucking mental with him, through a bottle of water at him and then ran back to his place on stage in time for the next song

Foo Fighters last night at Villa Parlk, my first time seeing the Foos live since Wembley 2008.
3 hour set with two surprise guests, first 1 Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath playing Paranoid.
Shane Hawkins back on the drums for I’ll stick around, who is just a clone of Taylor & is awesome on the drums, hitting them very hard.
Not the best I’ve seen Dave Groul but still an awesome set, the only negative was Villa it self for getting any drinks, the queues were horrendous.
Next stop AC/DC on Weds at Wembley Stadium 🤘🏻

First day at Tuska, Helsinki. Heatwave is kinda lovely, kinda a bit too much.
Went to get a drink at the beginning so just heard Lord of the Lost from a distance. They sounded rambunctious.
Annisokay - way better than ok.
Alestorm - very fun but we were too far back.
Bloodred Hourglass - I fucking loved them. Took me back to the Gothenburg sound metal I loved as a kid, some of those chords it was like they were playing my heartstrings.
Kerry King/Dimmu Borgir we mostly missed for food and drinks.
Zeal & Ardor - really interesting blend of styles, fantastic experience right at the front.
Pendulum - mid 2000s drumb n bass baby. Took me back to some hefty nights.
Great day and strongly recommend Helsinki, the locals have been fantastic 👍
