The sign was yellow and somewhat unofficial looking but it seemed like we should follow it. We did. We ended up in a field filled with cars and buses. We were directed to our space. This was about 2 miles from where we had first came in. We got out of the car and took only the essentials seeing as it was a long walk. Beer, Tent, Clothes and Sleeping bags, in order of importance of course. After for walking for what seemed like two working weeks we made the queue to get in. We waited and then had our bags checked and a wristband handed to us. We walked into the camping site in the thursday midday sun and it was fucking brilliant.
People with dreadlocks everywhere. A man with a mohawk so tall that with it he went from 5ft6 to 8ft 2. A man in a borat mankini. T-shirts from all sorts of bands, other festivals, this festivals and the festivals years before. This was amazing. We asked where we were meant to go. Basically we were going to be in the airport for the festival. Or at least so close it would deafen us when a plane went by. We found an empty lot. Close to the toilets but not too close that it may be mistaken as a toilet. Then came the next trial.
Putting up the tent. With unbelievable slowness and stupidity we got the tent up sat back and relaxed. Tonight was just the beginning.
Friday morning came at last and we werent sure what to expect. Unfortunately the Hollywood Undead were an awful choice to open the festival and we sat on the grass waiting for something good to happen. Nothing. The Blackout and nearly got dead silence except from when they covered Korn, Limp Bizkit and Faith No More all at once. That said they were better than the undead. Then came Staind. Fucking A. I needed some Nirvana-esque music to make everything better. The unfortunately came Billy Talent who sounded like a thousand being tortured whilst they all sing "The sound of silence" out of Key. Awful. Then came another saviour. In the shape of Killswitch Engage. Fucking moshpits everywhere and a guitarist who sounded like Gavin. Amazing. Then a long break and i began to get dehydrated. Limp Bizkit came on. What a fucking band. Seriously havent seen them? GO NOW BUY FUCKING TICKETS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!! Needless to say they were good.
I went to get a drink of whatever fuck i needed hydration. and saw Gavin at the top of the hill. Great friends again. He was watching Opeth. I watched them. They are a mind-trip baby. Never even heard of them till now. They are an aquired taste but they are great. I missed most of Korn but i caught Coming Undone which was good cause i love that song.
Then came the headliners. Or at least they should fucking be. Motley Crue. Great band live. I mean if i reach that age and can make a guy who nearly always hates sex driven homophobic rock ,like motley or poison, like it then fuck i will be happy within myself.
Friday Night was great we hung around with loads of people we had never met before. A great expierience loved by all.
