I got a last minute reminder from my bandmates last week -- they were going to the Sonisphere festival on Friday. An advert for this massive metal event piqued my interest already in the winter, but I have since forgotten about it. I have actually never been to an open air before, in part because they tend to have very few bands I like on any one day at any one location, and in part because if they do, they sell out way before I would have a chance to buy tickets. For some strange reason I was still able to buy tickets to this particular fest a few days before the event. I invited Anthea to come along with me, and I was very glad that she has already taken off the whole week from work ... I also took Friday off, taking care of the final bit of logistics.
My bandmates arrived before we did -- perhaps already on the previous day -- and I got a call from Gregor warning me of deep mud -- so we both took our most water resistent garb along. As you can see on the following photos, we were still unprepared for the warzone that avaited us when we arrived. Days of rain and thousands of drunken teenagers have done their worst to the once grassy fields. Still, it was awesome to see Megadeth, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Rise Against, and Amon Amarth live. It was a bit surprising that the first three of these bands hardly played any songs that were less than ten years old. I don't know if songwriting becomes very difficult once you are a superstar, or if they just don't *need* to bother, but whatever. Good times.
