Hmm - one of my friends is in the ragtrade and had a stall at last years Reading festival so I was given a free traders pass to the festival - various bands played all of which were really dire , the main band was Metallica (is that how you spell it?) anyway I left 5 mins after they started - I bumped into a young Metaillica fan who was desperate for a ticket but couldnt afford the 100 quid that the touts wanted - so I gave him my pass for free.

He couldnt believe his luck and ran headlong for the festival - well that was my good turn for the day.

I was there too Alf, and completely agree! I watched them for about 45 minutes hoping they would get better....but I ended up bored, cold, and sober. So I left...

I saw Metallica at Manchester a bit ago and they were brilliant. One of the best shows I've seen. They were on my list of bands I'd like to see. I'm off to Download this year mainly because Faith No More are on and so are Journey.

What is quite sad is my son wants me to take him to Dio if they ever tour over here. I told him to listen to them to show him how bad their music was and he loves it. I thought I'd trained him better than that.

Saw Dio live a couple of years back Tony, in a little cellar in the Newcastle Uni halls of residence and they rocked!

Each to their own, I know but their guitarist Doug Aldrich (who also tours with Whitesnake) is a star. He also stayed behind afterwards for a chat and a beer.

That said, I love Dio's voice and had to see him tour with Heaven and Hell last year (80's Black Sabbath ). Will go again when they tour with their new album.

The Gutter Twins Manchester University, prior to that I think it was QOTSA (who are a shadow of the Nick Oliveri years)

before that NIN, I think

Rammstein in London on their last tour. Awesome.

So on the same tour, I also got tickets to see them in Prague and Germany as well.

I saw them at a place in Leeds while I was still at school, when they used to tour around carrying large chunks of Scotland with them (castles and dragons etc) They were good but shortly after I realised all his songs follow a format.

They all have rubbihs lyrics and the last verse is a repeat of the stuff he sang earlier. it's as if he hits 70% of the way through and things fec it I'm off to the pub and just does a bit of cutting and pasting. Finally all his songs are something to do with children of the night with a sword in their hands fighting for something. It's like the musical version of dungeons and dragons.

I like the tunes though - I just wished his lyrics were not so geeky

I play guitar, I listen to guitar.

The singers only there to accompany the guitarist.

If he's a good voice, he's more listenable to than the bass
