Slipknot 2 - Anvil 0

Let's face it; it was never going to be much of a competition between the two bands. Slipknot simply had to be the winners, dahling. To find out why and to hear what else was hot or not at this year's Donington festival, you can CLICK HERE to download the Download @ Donington depcast which was recorded with my mate Stu on the festival site last Monday (in the massive south car park, actually).
Pictures of the atmosphere can be found here.
Have a great weekend folks, we certainly did!

More Porn

I'm at a loss of what to write about, so it's back to posting guitar porn filler, hurrah! So what've we got here then? A Dean VMNT Dave Mustaine "Rust In Peace" special. Nice graphics, shame it isn't a Jackson.
Apologies for the lack of blogging action, I've had a dodgy eye, itchy leg and I'm still a Sudafed junkie. I'm also addressing the ongoing links widget problem (to the right of this blog) - if I've left any of you from the list by mistake, please pop by and burn my lug'ole about it. Time at the internet cafe is at a premium and although having net access at home is convenient, I don't want to end up a slave to it like I have in the past. This way I can prioritise what I need to do and be more efficient as opposed to logging on and having a six hour YouTube fest. Never again.
It's not all crap though. Donington is upon us once more and I for one can't chuffing wait for it. I'm also considering a trip to Ullapool for Britain's most remote festival and I'm toying with the idea of Cornbury (recently described by someone as a "boutique festival", ie; fit for all those Daily Express reading middle class suburbanites and their 2.4 children) but the only decent bands that are playing at the latter are The Damned and Joe Jackson so I'm not sure that the ticket price would be justified for just two good acts. Had I been a fan of the Sugababes on the other hand...
