[Pacman1903]

Holy [email protected] now seen Slayer 15 times. Today was phenomenal. Best ever and best band ive ever seen at Donington. Better than when Metallica played "Master of Puppets"

Aerosmith at the 3 Arena Dublin on Tuesday, great gig, played most of the classics and sounding brilliant, 1st time seeing them and hopefully not the last been wanting to see them for years but when they were in Britain there was always a reason i couldn't manage so decided on Dublin this time as couldn't manage Donington, started with a montage of the bands history on the big screen before the band came out to let the music do the talking. Highlight for me was Dream On as i love that song. Special mention to the 3 arena as well as its probably the best venue i have been to a gig at, not that big so you are quite close to stage wherever you are and there was a decent selection of booze at the bar. Also enjoyed Dublin had never been before but apart from it being expensive its a really nice place and everyone was really friendly. Great few days away and will deffo be back, just as quick going to glasgow for me left the house 8.30 and was in Dublin by 12.30

Primus, Roundhouse, 20/6

Now im off my high i can review.

Wow f@cking wow. What a gig, what a band, what a venue

Day started off with a few beers around Camden including in Belgo Noord(love that place) and Dingwalls in the scorching heat. Easy 30 degrees. Good chilled oot afternoon

Headed to the Roundhouse at doors excited like a kid a christmas. Got my tour sark and then entered the hall. Some place. Alot of history too. Was impressed by the ease of getting pints. Always a must in music venues. (ABC is good for this) the half an hour i had to wait for the band felt like 2 hours. when Mr Claypool and co entered at 8 i fell into a trance. These guys have been top of my band hit list for years and years and i finally got to see their wizardary. Les Claypool is the best bassist in the world. Argue all you want but he is no doubt about it. A genius. This was "an evening with" affair made up of two sets and lasted 2 1/2 hours. But it easnt enough

"Here come the B@stards" "Wynonas Big Brown Beaver" "The Heckler" "John of the Rocks" "Southbound Pachyderm" "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" "Lee van Cleef" all in the but dissapointingly no "Tommy the Cat", "Pudding Time" "John the Fisherman" or "Shake Hands With Beef" but canna complain 21 tunes and it was a joy to watch. F@cking brilliant

Hope i get a another gig in the Roundhouse. I like it.

Also have to mention, i flew to luton from Inverness and stayed in an appartment on Finchley road. 80 quid all in. Luton to West Hampstead was only 25 mins on the train.

Cheaper and easier than going to Glasgow

Only Van Halen left to tick off now
