Aiee! Please to be using the cut tag!

(um, if you don't mind, that is. Just makes my Friends page rather enormous otherwise.)

[lnr]

Sorry, the list was meant to come in a cut tag as soon as I added it, but I put an erroneous / in the tag. In fixing it I figured I may as well cut both. Apologies to anyone else too.

[knell.livejournal.com]

Thanks! 'ppreciate it, I do.

To the letter

[j4.livejournal.com]

Impressive list!

Is there any way you can see, er ... [*thinks*] ... the Organ, and the Zutons, before the end of the year?

Re: To the letter

[lnr]

Wow, I'm amazed I'm only missing two letters of the alphabet!

[simont]

For some reason I expected the second list to contain "The Wizard of Yendor (5 times)" :-)

*giggle*

[mpinna.livejournal.com]

RBF was on the 20th, not the 19th.

[lnr]

Ta, I seemed to have failed to write down the dates of the actual gigs in some of the posts reviewing them, which made it a bit hard to trace exact dates for some of them.

[mpinna.livejournal.com]

Amazing how easy it is to remember the date of a gig when you've had the tour dates on your wall for the last four months :-)

> Rammstein (Apocalyptica)

*JEALOUS*

I suddenly paid attention to Rammstein this year after years of thinking "Must check out their stuff". Ended up with all their albums within a week... Apparently the gig was beyond belief - wish I'd seen it *sulk*

Also Maiden rocked at the Reading Fest didn't they?? MM was a bit cak tho - clearly overran, and his voice was screwed.

[lnr]

It was awesome. And very very very hot. 20 ft flames going over the top of the audience do that. It made New Year's fire breathing look very tame :-)

You were at Reading? Maiden were damned cool: I know a fair bit of their stuff vaguely through friends even though I don't own any myself, but it did make me giggle that some of it I seemed to know better than the more hardcore metallers I was hanging out with. But yeah, it was great. I'd not seen MM before so I rather enjoyed it, and it was nice he did all three covers. Ernie tells me he was much better in 97. I think the Pixies were probably my highlight though.

Going next year?

Feel free to poke around in my LJ memories for gig and festival write-ups :-)

I note it's only February but I've managed both O and Z already in 2006!
