What an awesome weekend! Was so amazing, can't believe how many bands I've actually seen!

Slipknot, KoRn and Killswitch Engage were the highlights for me! Can't wait again for next year.

Anything I miss? Links to good threads? :P

Lucky guy...

I'd love to have went but the missus and kid wouldn't let me :'(

Schism · 15-06-09, 11:45 AM

Was an expensive weekend for me though! Bought mine and the gf's ticket, spent around £60 there and spent about £60 on stuff before.

Deffo worth it though

Nice I havent been anywhere since ozzfest 2002. I saw slipknot live at Nottingham years ago when I lived there. What songs did they play?

I've also seen Cradle of Filth, Raging Speedhorn, Stone Sour, Murderdolls all in nottingham.

You only spent £60 when you were there.
I'm shocked.
I'd spend double that on just food alone when I'm at T.
Either the stalls are muchos cheaper or I just can't get enough of that yummy steak baguettes....

Glad it was a good weekend.
Weather decent?

I took food with me to cook too, so only probs bought half as much... plus I'm 17, so didn't buy beer there, next year will be a different story

I spent £40 on food, and £20 on..... other stuff.

Weather was amazing, sunny everyday, got a great tan while I was there, not a drop of rain... Hayfever was stupidly bad though, so had to take my tablets which meant hardly any drinking, so brought like 30 cans of beer back. lol

Haha, I got back last night, what camp were you in?

tronsmith · 15-06-09, 12:38 PM

I was in red. We got there at about 1 on the wednesday but blue was already full What about you? It was bloody miles to the arena. What a ridiculous layout!

Amiethest · 15-06-09, 12:46 PM

I would have loved to have gone. You're so lucky! (Uni exams as usual). Hope you had an excellent time. And £60 on grub isn't bad!

Was in White... got an amazing pitch, was 5 tents, 3 small and 2 massive ones, and kept a big area in the middle for us all to sit in with chairs and a table, and was bloody amazing!

Was quite far from the arena, got knackered doing it, and was quite close to the toilets, but not close enough to smell the horrible smell... and god, weren't the open air unrinals horrible in the end of the weekend, water logged with piss.

Adr1an · 16-06-09, 02:00 PM

yeah the toilets where grim, overall it was awsome 7th Trivium SHOW!!

and slipknot were awsome!

tronsmith · 16-06-09, 02:17 PM

My tent was about two centimetres (in that image) lower than that big tree to the left of your line.

When I first looks at that image, Adrian, I thought you were saying you camped in the middle of that field (haha).

fosking · 16-06-09, 02:38 PM

I wish I was there
