URGE was top draw. But then again the whole set was.

Could have done with some more people there though, didn't seem to be very full, still there loss i reckon. If you weren't there you really missed a TREAT.

loyalties were on top form , damone were pretty good , wolfsbane , after a few technical hitches were absolutely storming , the wildhearts are always great , but i think the sound was off a little ( surprising cos BIG MICK was back there ) , musta been up to onstage stuff .. G did mention stuff always breaks when they try and film .. crowd a little subdued , dunno if thats cos they dint play all singles , coupla people were 'whats this?' for EN and O7 stuff . kin fairweathers .

band all v happy , ginger said they were filming the crowd for portions of a video for 'Revoloution will be Televised' .

set pretty much as last night , encore breaks after 'headfuck' and 'cheers' iirc

no nita tho , they did a pretty cool/sneaky medley of nita/caffine bomb/vanilla radio/zomboid/the all-american british homeboy crowd , and later a medley that included bohemian rhapsody , enter sandman and i can't remember what else

aside from big mick , vix from the kix , mr tim smith and robochrist catalyst were in attendance

Anyone know if they've played 'Slaughtered Authors' yet (even on the last tour)? I'm absolutely desperate to hear that song live! Think it would sound fucking huuuuge! :twisted:

I saw that they'd stuck the Destroy All Monsters one on the brick pillar towards the end.

Apologies for the shite photos. Apparently my camera was as drunk as I was... :roll:

Can't believe they had the Destroy All Monsters t-shirts at Wolves, i was looking for one of those but didn't see any.

Anyhoo, on to the gig - it was an absolute blast! Yup, we got to hear Urge & Nurse Maximum! The show was a sell-out and the crowd ROCKED. I was soaked to skin with sweat by the end of it and it was well worth the trip from Bristol.

I didn't notice but apparently Ginger wasn't in the best of moods, is this true? Maybe he was getting flak due to their set overrunning (supposed to finish at 11pm) but i don't really know. Did get back stage afterwards and all the band made an appearance apart from Ginger. Asked Scott about his clothing line which was supposed to appear at the gig but he said it got delayed and isn't ready yet. Nuts.

Anyhoo, on the whole, the gig truly kicked ass!

Before i forget, the opening song (Unbroken?) - where can i get my mitts on that? Never heard it before.
