Did any of the Brits here go?

If so:

1. Who did you go and see?

2. Highlight?

3. Thoughts on this years line-up?

4. What you think could have been improved. (Either by yourself doing something and/or the organisation of the actual event.)

5. What camp were you in?

---o0o---

1. Who did you go and see?

I saw LOADS of bands but, naturally, I'll mention the main ones.

• 36 crazyfists
• Bullet for my Valentine
• HIM
• Disturbed
• Brigade
• Fall of Troy
• Jimmy Eat World
• Motorhead
• Pendulum

2. Highlight?

My highlight was actually in a crowd. The line back on the second day when teh police split us in half letting one half walk forward and stopping the other like 100,000 fans in their tracks. Then everyone hears a voice shout "PUSH!" so everybody pushed the police a few yards, tehpolice shout out on a megaphone "do not push or we will be forced to take action". Then the famed words came from the front of the crowd "SPARTANS, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION!?". The police parted after a crowd of 100,000 people all chanted "AOO! AOO!". That was just amazing.

3. Thoughts on this years line-up?

It could have been alot better but it wasnt too bad.

4. What you think could have been improved.

Not alot really, I was always watching bands or wandering aimlessly round campsites whilst I was drunk. I was pretty happy with it all really.

5. What camp were you in?

I was in Black camp. At the back near a burger van. It was a good sopt actually, everybody around there was really friendly and funny.

I just checked out the main site and I envy you guys out there. You guys got quite a variety of great bands.

Obviously I'm not a brit. But several weeks ago, I saw a clip of Apocalyptica with Cristina Scabbia performing 'S.O.S.' (Anything But Love) and it was awesome! Her vocals are amazing. They were just powerful and she looked great out there too.

Apocalyptica.
Yeah, I saw those. Well, half of them.
I loved the instruments and the talent in that band. It was strange for me when they first came on 'cos I didnt know what type of music they played but I loved the variety on the main stage. It was refreshing.
And that song, yeah, I saw it and live it was phenominal. I enjoyed it alot.
