Rich-TWSC- Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Reel Big Fish much better though Rich←Technically SOAD are a better band but I'm ALL about the Reel Big Fish...

All about fun for me though and I guess from that type of music I prefer Less Than Jake.Will give RBF another listen though as I have heard a lot of good things about them recently.

P.S. FAO Bucksred... I know Funeral for a Friend filled in for Finch at the last minute if that's what your referring to.

I think the answer is real music but at a time where they were pushed quite hard by the promoters.Trail of dead are awesome indeed!! Not really much like anything else around and thats one of the reasons they are special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukejones2 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 surprise band were funeral for a friend who were as usual rubbish OZZY RULESalso bowling for soup were great←Talking of rubbish bands - I absolutely love Puddle Of Mud's album... some amazing big songs. Live at Reading festival? They died. I was gutted. They just seemed knackered! I will give em another chance though.On the flip side, I had heard how bad Linkin Park were live given tthat their sound is very electric. I have seen them twice now and they are one of the best live bands around!! Live it is even better and the raw qualities shine through...god I love music.

Friday's highlight was Billy Idol absolutely brilliant set. Was supposed to finish at 9.45 but kept going until 10.30Saturday. Kicked off brilliantly with my act of the festival - Trivium (These guys are going to be big), Impressed with Velvet revolver and Sabbath / Ozzy was great but mainly for the fact it WAS OZZY.Sunday. Papa Roach went down better than I epected and was a good set. Caught Lacuna Coil whilst waiting for the massive surprise guest (Funeral for a friend) Useless - seen them at download in 03 and again supporting Iron Maiden later that year and thought they were rubbish live. Caught end of Slayer again a very good and polished performance. Slipknot were even better than last year and Joeys Drum Solo will take some beating and be talked about for years. SOAD although a little late taking to the stage were absolutely top notch. Very Smooth from start to Finish.Roll on 9th,10th, 11th June 06. See you there and if you want an enjoyable weekend go for all 3 days. Well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
