We care a lot

I know I am a little behind but I have only just hard about Faith No More's reformation. Sometimes bands should stay split, I didn't go and see the Pixies when they reformed as I thought it would be like going to a show that physically shows you how old you are. You are always intertwined with the bands you loved in your youth and to see them up there not in their prime, a bit fat and old looking reminds you that you are also a bit fat and old looking and far from your prime.



All these things don't count with Faith No More as they have only been split up for 10 years and they were quite old when they did. They are playing the Download festival this year, I had to look up as not being down with the rock kids I didn't realise they meant Donnington. Why isn't the Monsters of Rock any more? I remember my first Monsters of Rock, Iron Maiden were headlining with Kiss and Dave Lee Roth on support. All these were irrelevant though as everyone was there to see Guns'n'Roses who were second on the bill, Appetite for Destruction was out that week. This was before crappy acoustic EP's and overblown 11 minute ballads with cliff top guitar solos. I wish I could say they were good but I don't remember much about it, the whole festival was packed and 2 people died in the push. It was my first festival experience, I was hit by a bottle of piss and almost battered by some mad bastard. I was just turned 15 at the time, thinking that L is only 18 months away from that  makes me panic a little.



Anyway download is out of the question at £160 per ticket I think I'll sit this one out, besides the other headliners are Slipknot and Def Leppard and unless they were going ot play Pyromania back to back I'm not interested (yes I know its a guilty pleasure). I told D that the drummer of Def Leppard had only got one arm and he looked at me like I was stupid.

Update: After looking on youtube I found the actual gig, fucking hell they were shocking:



This is when they first came on, you can see all the crowd trouble. This is probably when the two people got killed. I don't understand why it takes people to die to improve crowd control.
