I had seriously considered going, I am now glad we decided we couldn't
afford it!

Holy crap, I'm shocked and stunned... a 30-min set at midday?
How... insulting. I'm surprised KJ didn't tell them to get stuffed.

And while I admire LoG's singer's taste, I had the misfortune of seeing
his
dull-as-dishwater band last week. Tedious, tuneless grunt-by-numbers
stuff.
I really don't get how they rose to such a hallowed status among the
metal crowd.
They were supporting Metallica... who were fucking great. The new stuff
is
just a rerun of Master of Puppets/Justice for All-era material, but if
you like that sort of thing,
which I do, it was 2 hours of prime thrashing joy. And thankfully they
didn't play The Wait.

KJ came on at 12.20 and played for half an hour. Setlist was:

 

Requiem (then some banter about lack of resources)

Wardance

Love Like Blood (dedicated to the guy who is dying from MS and is
designing the next KJ album cover. Apparently he wants LLB played at his
funeral. Who is this?)

Eighties (dedicated to 'the surviving members of Nirvana')

The Wait

Pssyche

 

Not that many people there to watch them, but they were still very good
(of course). Spoke to a guy who had met up with Jaz earlier in the day
and was told that they will be touring in Feb.

 

The singer from Lamb Of God mentioned them during his set. Said that we
were 'amongst legends'.

 

Quite a few KJ tshirts about. Lots of crap clown ones from the 2003
album.
